< يوحنَّا 12 >
ثُمَّ قَبْلَ ٱلْفِصْحِ بِسِتَّةِ أَيَّامٍ أَتَى يَسُوعُ إِلَى بَيْتِ عَنْيَا، حَيْثُ كَانَ لِعَازَرُ ٱلْمَيْتُ ٱلَّذِي أَقَامَهُ مِنَ ٱلْأَمْوَاتِ. | ١ 1 |
Six days before the Passover [celebration started], Jesus arrived in Bethany [village, along with us]. That was where Lazarus lived. He was the man Jesus [previously] caused to be alive again after he died.
فَصَنَعُوا لَهُ هُنَاكَ عَشَاءً. وَكَانَتْ مَرْثَا تَخْدِمُ، وَأَمَّا لِعَازَرُ فَكَانَ أَحَدَ ٱلْمُتَّكِئِينَ مَعَهُ. | ٢ 2 |
There they gave a dinner to [honor] Jesus. Martha served the meal. [Her younger brother], Lazarus, was among the people who were eating with Jesus.
فَأَخَذَتْ مَرْيَمُ مَنًا مِنْ طِيبِ نَارِدِينٍ خَالِصٍ كَثِيرِ ٱلثَّمَنِ، وَدَهَنَتْ قَدَمَيْ يَسُوعَ، وَمَسَحَتْ قَدَمَيْهِ بِشَعْرِهَا، فَٱمْتَلَأَ ٱلْبَيْتُ مِنْ رَائِحَةِ ٱلطِّيبِ. | ٣ 3 |
Then Mary took [a bottle] of expensive perfume [called] nard and poured it on Jesus’ feet [to honor him]. Then she wiped his feet with her hair. The whole house was filled with the [beautiful] smell of the perfume.
فَقَالَ وَاحِدٌ مِنْ تَلَامِيذِهِ، وَهُوَ يَهُوذَا سِمْعَانُ ٱلْإِسْخَرْيُوطِيُّ، ٱلْمُزْمِعُ أَنْ يُسَلِّمَهُ: | ٤ 4 |
But one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, (OR, Judas, the man from Kerioth [Town]) objected. He was the one who later enabled Jesus’ enemies to seize him.
«لِمَاذَا لَمْ يُبَعْ هَذَا ٱلطِّيبُ بِثَلَاثَمِئَةِ دِينَارٍ وَيُعْطَ لِلْفُقَرَاءِ؟». | ٥ 5 |
He said, “(We should have sold this perfume and given [the money] to poor people!/Why did [we] not sell this perfume and give [the money for it] to the poor people?) [RHQ] We could have gotten 300 days’ wages for it!”
قَالَ هَذَا لَيْسَ لِأَنَّهُ كَانَ يُبَالِي بِٱلْفُقَرَاءِ، بَلْ لِأَنَّهُ كَانَ سَارِقًا، وَكَانَ ٱلصُّنْدُوقُ عِنْدَهُ، وَكَانَ يَحْمِلُ مَا يُلْقَى فِيهِ. | ٦ 6 |
He said that, not because he cared about the poor people, but instead, because he was a thief. He was the one who kept the bag [of funds that people gave to help Jesus and us his disciples], and he often stole some of the money that was {that [people]} put into it.
فَقَالَ يَسُوعُ: «ٱتْرُكُوهَا! إِنَّهَا لِيَوْمِ تَكْفِينِي قَدْ حَفِظَتْهُ، | ٧ 7 |
Then Jesus said, “Do not bother her! [She bought this perfume] in order to save it until the day when they will bury me [after I die].
لِأَنَّ ٱلْفُقَرَاءَ مَعَكُمْ فِي كُلِّ حِينٍ، وَأَمَّا أَنَا فَلَسْتُ مَعَكُمْ فِي كُلِّ حِينٍ». | ٨ 8 |
There will always be poor people among you, [so you can help them whenever you want to]. But I will not be with you much longer, [so it is good that she showed right now how much she appreciates me].”
فَعَلِمَ جَمْعٌ كَثِيرٌ مِنَ ٱلْيَهُودِ أَنَّهُ هُنَاكَ، فَجَاءُوا لَيْسَ لِأَجْلِ يَسُوعَ فَقَطْ، بَلْ لِيَنْظُرُوا أَيْضًا لِعَازَرَ ٱلَّذِي أَقَامَهُ مِنَ ٱلْأَمْوَاتِ. | ٩ 9 |
A large crowd of Jews heard [people say] that Jesus was there [in Bethany]. So they came, not only [to see] Jesus but also to see Lazarus, the man whom he had caused to become alive again after he died.
فَتَشَاوَرَ رُؤَسَاءُ ٱلْكَهَنَةِ لِيَقْتُلُوا لِعَازَرَ أَيْضًا، | ١٠ 10 |
So the chief priests decided to kill Lazarus also,
لِأَنَّ كَثِيرِينَ مِنَ ٱلْيَهُودِ كَانُوا بِسَبَبِهِ يَذْهَبُونَ وَيُؤْمِنُونَ بِيَسُوعَ. | ١١ 11 |
because many of the Jews were [deserting them and] going to Jesus and believing in him because of [Jesus causing] Lazarus [to be alive again].
وَفِي ٱلْغَدِ سَمِعَ ٱلْجَمْعُ ٱلْكَثِيرُ ٱلَّذِي جَاءَ إِلَى ٱلْعِيدِ أَنَّ يَسُوعَ آتٍ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ، | ١٢ 12 |
The next day the huge crowd of people that had come [to Jerusalem] for the [Passover] celebration heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem.
فَأَخَذُوا سُعُوفَ ٱلنَّخْلِ وَخَرَجُوا لِلِقَائِهِ، وَكَانُوا يَصْرُخُونَ: «أُوصَنَّا! مُبَارَكٌ ٱلْآتِي بِٱسْمِ ٱلرَّبِّ! مَلِكُ إِسْرَائِيلَ!». | ١٣ 13 |
So they [cut] branches from some palm trees and took the branches out [of the city] to [wave them when they] met him. Some of them were shouting things like, “Hooray!” “May the Lord [God] bless the one who is coming with his authority [MTY]!” Some other people were shouting, “[May God bless] the King of Israel!”
وَوَجَدَ يَسُوعُ جَحْشًا فَجَلَسَ عَلَيْهِ كَمَا هُوَ مَكْتُوبٌ: | ١٤ 14 |
When Jesus [came near to Jerusalem], he got a young donkey and sat on it [as he rode into the city]. By doing this, [he fulfilled] what had been written {what [a prophet] had written} [in Scripture],
«لَا تَخَافِي يَا ٱبْنَةَ صِهْيَوْنَ. هُوَذَا مَلِكُكِ يَأْتِي جَالِسًا عَلَى جَحْشٍ أَتَانٍ». | ١٥ 15 |
You people of Jerusalem, do not be afraid! Look! Your king is coming! He is riding on a donkey’s colt!
وَهَذِهِ ٱلْأُمُورُ لَمْ يَفْهَمْهَا تَلَامِيذُهُ أَوَّلًا، وَلَكِنْ لَمَّا تَمَجَّدَ يَسُوعُ، حِينَئِذٍ تَذَكَّرُوا أَنَّ هَذِهِ كَانَتْ مَكْتُوبَةً عَنْهُ، وَأَنَّهُمْ صَنَعُوا هَذِهِ لَهُ. | ١٦ 16 |
At first [we] disciples did not understand those things. But after Jesus had returned to heaven, we realized that those things had been written {that [a prophet] had written those things} about him, and that [by] doing those things for him [the people had fulfilled what the prophet prophesied].
وَكَانَ ٱلْجَمْعُ ٱلَّذِي مَعَهُ يَشْهَدُ أَنَّهُ دَعَا لِعَازَرَ مِنَ ٱلْقَبْرِ وَأَقَامَهُ مِنَ ٱلْأَمْوَاتِ. | ١٧ 17 |
The crowd that was with him continued to tell other people that he called Lazarus to come out of the tomb, [and that Lazarus had then become alive again].
لِهَذَا أَيْضًا لَاقَاهُ ٱلْجَمْعُ، لِأَنَّهُمْ سَمِعُوا أَنَّهُ كَانَ قَدْ صَنَعَ هَذِهِ ٱلْآيَةَ. | ١٨ 18 |
Because of that, many people, because they heard [others say] that he had performed this miracle, went to meet him.
فَقَالَ ٱلْفَرِّيسِيُّونَ بَعْضُهُمْ لِبَعْضٍ: «ٱنْظُرُوا! إِنَّكُمْ لَا تَنْفَعُونَ شَيْئًا! هُوَذَا ٱلْعَالَمُ قَدْ ذَهَبَ وَرَاءَهُ!». | ١٩ 19 |
So the Pharisees said to each other, “It is obvious that we are making no progress [in trying to stop him! It looks like] [HYP] everyone [MTY] is becoming his disciple!”
وَكَانَ أُنَاسٌ يُونَانِيُّونَ مِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ صَعِدُوا لِيَسْجُدُوا فِي ٱلْعِيدِ. | ٢٠ 20 |
Among those who went up [to Jerusalem] to worship [God] during the [Passover] celebration were some Greeks.
فَتَقَدَّمَ هَؤُلَاءِ إِلَى فِيلُبُّسَ ٱلَّذِي مِنْ بَيْتِ صَيْدَا ٱلْجَلِيلِ، وَسَأَلُوهُ قَائِلِينَ: «يَا سَيِّدُ، نُرِيدُ أَنْ نَرَى يَسُوعَ». | ٢١ 21 |
They came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida [town] in Galilee [province]. They [wanted him] to do something for them. They said, “Sir, we would like to talk with Jesus.”
فَأَتَى فِيلُبُّسُ وَقَالَ لِأَنْدَرَاوُسَ، ثُمَّ قَالَ أَنْدَرَاوُسُ وَفِيلُبُّسُ لِيَسُوعَ. | ٢٢ 22 |
So after Philip went and told that to Andrew, they both went and told Jesus.
وَأَمَّا يَسُوعُ فَأَجَابَهُمَا قَائِلًا: «قَدْ أَتَتِ ٱلسَّاعَةُ لِيَتَمَجَّدَ ٱبْنُ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ. | ٢٣ 23 |
Then, [to show them that he must die in order to give eternal life to non-Jews like those Greeks], Jesus replied to them, “It is time for [God] to honor me, the one who came from heaven. [That will happen when I die].
اَلْحَقَّ ٱلْحَقَّ أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: إِنْ لَمْ تَقَعْ حَبَّةُ ٱلْحِنْطَةِ فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ وَتَمُتْ فَهِيَ تَبْقَى وَحْدَهَا. وَلَكِنْ إِنْ مَاتَتْ تَأْتِي بِثَمَرٍ كَثِيرٍ. | ٢٤ 24 |
Listen to this carefully: [My life is like a seed] [MET]. If [someone] does not plant a kernel of grain in the ground, it does not change. It remains only one [seed]. But if it changes [after it is planted in the ground, it will grow and] produce many seeds.
مَنْ يُحِبُّ نَفْسَهُ يُهْلِكُهَا، وَمَنْ يُبْغِضُ نَفْسَهُ فِي هَذَا ٱلْعَالَمِ يَحْفَظُهَا إِلَى حَيَاةٍ أَبَدِيَّةٍ. (aiōnios ) | ٢٥ 25 |
Anyone who strongly wants to keep on living [here on earth] will surely lose his life forever. But anyone who is willing to die [HYP] [for my sake] will surely gain eternal life. (aiōnios )
إِنْ كَانَ أَحَدٌ يَخْدِمُنِي فَلْيَتْبَعْنِي، وَحَيْثُ أَكُونُ أَنَا هُنَاكَ أَيْضًا يَكُونُ خَادِمِي. وَإِنْ كَانَ أَحَدٌ يَخْدِمُنِي يُكْرِمُهُ ٱلْآبُ. | ٢٦ 26 |
If [any of these Greeks or] anyone [else] wants to serve me, they must become my disciples. Then, [after they die], they will be where I am, [in heaven]. My Father will honor all those who serve me.
اَلْآنَ نَفْسِي قَدِ ٱضْطَرَبَتْ. وَمَاذَا أَقُولُ: أَيُّهَا ٱلْآبُ نَجِّنِي مِنْ هَذِهِ ٱلسَّاعَةِ؟ وَلَكِنْ لِأَجْلِ هَذَا أَتَيْتُ إِلَى هَذِهِ ٱلسَّاعَةِ. | ٢٧ 27 |
Now I am deeply disturbed. (I do not know what to say./What shall I say?) [RHQ] Should I say, ‘[My] Father, save me from this time [when I will suffer and die!’]? No, [I should not say that, because] the reason I came ([into this world/from heaven]) was that I would [suffer] [MTY] now.
أَيُّهَا ٱلْآبُ، مَجِّدِ ٱسْمَكَ!». فَجَاءَ صَوْتٌ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَاءِ: «مَجَّدْتُ، وَأُمَجِّدُ أَيْضًا!». | ٢٨ 28 |
My Father, show how great you are!” John 12:28b-36a Then [God] spoke [EUP] from heaven, saying, “I have already shown how great [I am], and I will do it again!”
فَٱلْجَمْعُ ٱلَّذِي كَانَ وَاقِفًا وَسَمِعَ، قَالَ: «قَدْ حَدَثَ رَعْدٌ!». وَآخَرُونَ قَالُوا: «قَدْ كَلَّمَهُ مَلَاكٌ!». | ٢٩ 29 |
The crowd that was there heard [it but they did not understand the words. Some said] it was thunder. Others said an angel had spoken to him.
أَجَابَ يَسُوعُ وقَالَ: «لَيْسَ مِنْ أَجْلِي صَارَ هَذَا ٱلصَّوْتُ، بَلْ مِنْ أَجْلِكُمْ. | ٣٠ 30 |
Jesus replied to them, “The voice that you heard speaking [was God’s voice, but] it was not for my benefit. It was for your benefit!
اَلْآنَ دَيْنُونَةُ هَذَا ٱلْعَالَمِ. اَلْآنَ يُطْرَحُ رَئِيسُ هَذَا ٱلْعَالَمِ خَارِجًا. | ٣١ 31 |
Now is the time for [God] to judge [the people in] [MTY] the world. Now is the time when [I] will destroy [the power of Satan], the one who rules this world.
وَأَنَا إِنِ ٱرْتَفَعْتُ عَنِ ٱلْأَرْضِ أَجْذِبُ إِلَيَّ ٱلْجَمِيعَ». | ٣٢ 32 |
But as for me, when I am lifted {when [men] lift me} up from the ground [on a cross, I will make a way for] gathering everyone to myself.”
قَالَ هَذَا مُشِيرًا إِلَى أَيَّةِ مِيتَةٍ كَانَ مُزْمِعًا أَنْ يَمُوتَ. | ٣٣ 33 |
He said this to show us the way in which he was going to die.
فَأَجَابَهُ ٱلْجَمْعُ: «نَحْنُ سَمِعْنَا مِنَ ٱلنَّامُوسِ أَنَّ ٱلْمَسِيحَ يَبْقَى إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ، فَكَيْفَ تَقُولُ أَنْتَ إِنَّهُ يَنْبَغِي أَنْ يَرْتَفِعَ ٱبْنُ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ؟ مَنْ هُوَ هَذَا ٱبْنُ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ؟». (aiōn ) | ٣٤ 34 |
[Someone in] the crowd answered him, “We understand from the Scriptures that the Messiah will live forever. So why do you say that the one who came from heaven, [who is the Messiah], will be lifted up {that [men] will lift up the one who came from heaven, [who is the Messiah], } on a cross? What kind of man who came from heaven are you [talking about]? (OR, That’s not the [kind] of Messiah [we are expecting]!)” (aiōn )
فَقَالَ لَهُمْ يَسُوعُ: «ٱلنُّورُ مَعَكُمْ زَمَانًا قَلِيلًا بَعْدُ، فَسِيرُوا مَا دَامَ لَكُمُ ٱلنُّورُ لِئَلَّا يُدْرِكَكُمُ ٱلظَّلَامُ. وَٱلَّذِي يَسِيرُ فِي ٱلظَّلَامِ لَا يَعْلَمُ إِلَى أَيْنَ يَذْهَبُ. | ٣٥ 35 |
Then Jesus said to them, “[My message is like] [MET] a light for you. [I] will be with you for only a little while longer. Live and act [as you should] while I am still with you, [because suddenly you will have no more opportunity to hear my message! You do not want to be like] [MET] [someone] who cannot see where he is going any more [when it suddenly] becomes dark!
مَا دَامَ لَكُمُ ٱلنُّورُ آمِنُوا بِٱلنُّورِ لِتَصِيرُوا أَبْنَاءَ ٱلنُّورِ». تَكَلَّمَ يَسُوعُ بِهَذَا ثُمَّ مَضَى وَٱخْتَفَى عَنْهُمْ. | ٣٦ 36 |
Believe in my message [MET] while you still have an opportunity to do it, in order that you may become people who have accepted my truth [MET]!” John 12:36b-43 After Jesus said those things, he left them and hid from them.
وَمَعَ أَنَّهُ كَانَ قَدْ صَنَعَ أَمَامَهُمْ آيَاتٍ هَذَا عَدَدُهَا، لَمْ يُؤْمِنُوا بِهِ، | ٣٧ 37 |
Although he had done many miracles while people were watching, [most of] them refused to believe that he [is] ([the Messiah/from God]).
لِيَتِمَّ قَوْلُ إِشَعْيَاءَ ٱلنَّبِيِّ ٱلَّذي قَالَهُ: «يَارَبُّ، مَنْ صَدَّقَ خَبَرَنَا؟ وَلِمَنِ ٱسْتُعْلِنَتْ ذِرَاعُ ٱلرَّبِّ؟». | ٣٨ 38 |
[Their stubbornness and refusal to believe was similar to the stubbornness of the people that] the prophet Isaiah wrote about long ago: Lord, (hardly anyone has believed our message!/who has believed our message?) [RHQ] Most people refused to accept it, even though you showed them your power!
لِهَذَا لَمْ يَقْدِرُوا أَنْ يُؤْمِنُوا. لِأَنَّ إِشَعْيَاءَ قَالَ أَيْضًا: | ٣٩ 39 |
That was the reason why they were unable to believe. [It was like] Isaiah wrote somewhere else that God said:
«قَدْ أَعْمَى عُيُونَهُمْ، وَأَغْلَظَ قُلُوبَهُمْ، لِئَلَّا يُبْصِرُوا بِعُيُونِهِمْ، وَيَشْعُرُوا بِقُلُوبِهِمْ، وَيَرْجِعُوا فَأَشْفِيَهُمْ». | ٤٠ 40 |
They have [refused to understand; they acted as though they were] blind people! They were insensible in their inner beings! As a result, they have not perceived [my truth]! They have not understood it in their inner beings! They have not turned [from their sinful lives], and because of that I cannot help them!
قَالَ إِشَعْيَاءُ هَذَا حِينَ رَأَى مَجْدَهُ وَتَكَلَّمَ عَنْهُ. | ٤١ 41 |
Isaiah wrote that because [it was as though] he saw [ahead of time] how great Jesus would be, and he prophesied [those things] about him.
وَلَكِنْ مَعَ ذَلِكَ آمَنَ بِهِ كَثِيرُونَ مِنَ ٱلرُّؤَسَاءِ أَيْضًا، غَيْرَ أَنَّهُمْ لِسَبَبِ ٱلْفَرِّيسِيِّينَ لَمْ يَعْتَرِفُوا بِهِ، لِئَلَّا يَصِيرُوا خَارِجَ ٱلْمَجْمَعِ، | ٤٢ 42 |
Although most of the Jewish [leaders] [SYN] did not believe that Jesus is ([the Messiah/from God]), some of them believed in him. But they would not tell anyone that they believed in him, because [they were afraid that if they said that], the Pharisees would not let them worship in the synagogues.
لِأَنَّهُمْ أَحَبُّوا مَجْدَ ٱلنَّاسِ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ مَجْدِ ٱللهِ. | ٤٣ 43 |
They wanted people to praise them more than they wanted God to praise them.
فَنَادَى يَسُوعُ وَقَالَ: «ٱلَّذِي يُؤْمِنُ بِي، لَيْسَ يُؤْمِنُ بِي بَلْ بِالَّذِي أَرْسَلَنِي. | ٤٤ 44 |
[Another day, when] Jesus [was teaching the people, he] shouted, “Those who believe in me, they are not believing in [me alone]. Instead, [it is as though] they also believe in the one who sent me.
وَٱلَّذِي يَرَانِي يَرَى ٱلَّذِي أَرْسَلَنِي. | ٤٥ 45 |
When they see me [and what I am doing, it is as though] they are seeing the one who sent me.
أَنَا قَدْ جِئْتُ نُورًا إِلَى ٱلْعَالَمِ، حَتَّى كُلُّ مَنْ يُؤْمِنُ بِي لَا يَمْكُثُ فِي ٱلظُّلْمَةِ. | ٤٦ 46 |
I have come into the world [to show people God’s truth], as a light [shows people what is around them]. I have come in order that people who believe in me will not remain [ignorant of God’s truth] [MET], [as those who are] in the darkness [are ignorant of what is around them].
وَإِنْ سَمِعَ أَحَدٌ كَلَامِي وَلَمْ يُؤْمِنْ فَأَنَا لَا أَدِينُهُ، لِأَنِّي لَمْ آتِ لِأَدِينَ ٱلْعَالَمَ بَلْ لِأُخَلِّصَ ٱلْعَالَمَ. | ٤٧ 47 |
As for those who hear my message but do not obey [its commands], I am not [the one who] judges them. [The main reason] that I came ([into the world/from heaven]) was not to judge [the people of] [MTY] the world. Instead, I came to save them [from being punished for their sins].
مَنْ رَذَلَنِي وَلَمْ يَقْبَلْ كَلَامِي فَلَهُ مَنْ يَدِينُهُ. اَلْكَلَامُ ٱلَّذِي تَكَلَّمْتُ بِهِ هُوَ يَدِينُهُ فِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلْأَخِيرِ، | ٤٨ 48 |
There is something that will judge those who reject me and do not accept my message. On the judgment day [God] will condemn them [because they rejected] the message that I have told them.
لِأَنِّي لَمْ أَتَكَلَّمْ مِنْ نَفْسِي، لَكِنَّ ٱلْآبَ ٱلَّذِي أَرْسَلَنِي هُوَ أَعْطَانِي وَصِيَّةً: مَاذَا أَقُولُ وَبِمَاذَا أَتَكَلَّمُ. | ٤٩ 49 |
I have not said things from my own [authority]. Instead, [my] Father, the one who sent me, instructed me what to say and how I should say it.
وَأَنَا أَعْلَمُ أَنَّ وَصِيَّتَهُ هِيَ حَيَاةٌ أَبَدِيَّةٌ. فَمَا أَتَكَلَّمُ أَنَا بِهِ، فَكَمَا قَالَ لِي ٱلْآبُ هَكَذَا أَتَكَلَّمُ». (aiōnios ) | ٥٠ 50 |
I know that [paying attention to] what he has instructed us [leads to] eternal life. So whatever I say is exactly (OR, only) what [my] Father has told me to say.” (aiōnios )
