Mark 14
1 It was only two days before the [people] ([celebrated/started to celebrate]) [for one week the] festival [which they called] Passover. During those days they also celebrated the festival of (Unleavened Bread/[eating] bread that had no yeast in it). The chief priests and the men who taught the [Jewish] laws were planning how they could seize Jesus secretly. [They wanted to accuse him in front of the Roman authorities] so that they would execute him.
| وَكَانَ الْفِصْحُ وَعِيدُ الْفَطِيرِ سَيَحُلّانِ بَعْدَ يَوْمَيْنِ، وَمَازَالَ رُؤَسَاءُ الْكَهَنَةِ وَالْكَتَبَةُ يَسْعَوْنَ كَيْ يَقْبِضُوا عَلَيْهِ بِمَكْرٍ وَيَقْتُلُوهُ. | ١ |
2 But they were saying to one another, “We must not [do it] during the celebration, because, [if we do it then], the people will [be very angry with us and] riot!”
| فَإِنَّهُمْ قَدْ قَالُوا: «لا يَكُونُ ذَلِكَ فِي الْعِيدِ، لِئَلّا يَحْدُثَ اضْطِرَابٌ بَيْنَ الشَّعْبِ!» | ٢ |
3 Jesus was at Bethany [town] in the house of Simon, whom [Jesus had healed from] leprosy. While they were eating, a woman came [to him]. [She was carrying] a stone jar that contained expensive [fragrant] perfume called nard. She opened the jar and then she poured the perfume on Jesus’ head.
| وَفِيمَا كَانَ يَسُوعُ فِي بَيْتِ عَنْيَا، مُتَّكِئاً فِي بَيْتِ سِمْعَانَ الأَبْرَصِ، جَاءَتِ امْرَأَةٌ تَحْمِلُ قَارُورَةَ عِطْرٍ مِنَ النَّارِدِينِ الْخَالِصِ الْغَالِي الثَّمَنِ، فَكَسَرَتِ الْقَارُورَةَ وَسَكَبَتِ الْعِطْرَ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ. | ٣ |
4 One of the people [who were present] became angry and said to the others, “([It is terrible that she] wasted that perfume!/[Why did she] waste that perfume?) [RHQ]
| فَاسْتَاءَ بَعْضُهُمْ فِي أَنْفُسِهِمْ وَقَالُوا: «لِمَاذَا هَذَا التَّبْذِيرُ لِلْعِطْرِ؟ | ٤ |
5 It could have been sold {[We] could have sold it} for (a huge amount of money/an amount of money for which a person works for a year), and then [the money] could have been given {[we] could have given [the money]} to poor people!” So he rebuked her.
| فَقَدْ كَانَ يُمْكِنُ أَنْ يُبَاعَ هَذَا الْعِطْرُ بِأَكْثَرَ مِنْ ثَلاثِ مِئَةِ دِينَارٍ، وَيُوهَبَ الثَّمَنُ لِلْفُقَرَاءِ». وَأَخَذُوا يُؤَنِّبُونَ الْمَرْأَةَ. | ٥ |
6 But Jesus said, “Stop [scolding] her! She has done to me what I [consider to be] very appropriate/delightful. So (you should not bother her!/why do you bother her?) [RHQ]
| غَيْرَ أَنَّ يَسُوعَ قَالَ: «اتْرُكُوهَا! لِمَاذَا تُضَايِقُونَهَا؟ إِنَّهَا عَمِلَتْ بِي عَمَلاً حَسَناً. | ٦ |
7 You will always have poor people among you. So you can help them whenever you want to. But I will not [be here among] you much longer. [So it is good for her to show now that she appreciates me].
| فَإِنَّ الْفُقَرَاءَ عِنْدَكُمْ فِي كُلِّ حِينٍ، وَمَتَى شِئْتُمْ تَسْتَطِيعُونَ أَنْ تُحْسِنُوا إِلَيْهِمْ. أَمَّا أَنَا فَلَنْ أَكُونَ عِنْدَكُمْ فِي كُلِّ حِينٍ. | ٧ |
8 [It is appropriate that] she has done what she was able to do. [It is as if she knew that I was going to die soon] and has anointed my body for their burying it.
| إِنَّهَا عَمِلَتْ مَا تَقْدِرُ عَلَيْهِ. فَقَدْ سَبَقَتْ فَعَطَّرَتْ جَسَدِي إِعْدَاداً لِلدَّفْنِ. | ٨ |
9 I will tell you this: Wherever the good message [about me] is preached {people preach the good message} throughout the world, what she has done will be told {people will tell others what she has done [to me]}, and as a result people will remember her.”
| وَالْحَقَّ أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: إِنَّهُ حَيْثُ يُبَشَّرُ بِالإِنْجِيلِ فِي الْعَالَمِ أَجْمَعَ، يُحَدَّثُ أَيْضاً بِمَا عَمِلَتْهُ هَذِهِ الْمَرْأَةُ، إِحْيَاءً لِذِكْرِهَا!» | ٩ |
10 Then Judas Iscariot (OR, Judas, the man from Kerioth [Town]) went to the chief priests in order to [talk to them about] helping them to seize Jesus. He did that [even though] he was one of the twelve [disciples]
| ثُمَّ ذَهَبَ يَهُوذَا الإِسْخَرْيُوطِيُّ، أَحَدُ الاِثْنَيْ عَشَرَ، إِلَى رُؤَسَاءِ الْكَهَنَةِ لِيُسَلِّمَ يَسُوعَ إِلَيْهِمْ. | ١٠ |
11 When they heard [what he was willing to do for them], they were very happy. They promised that they would give him [a large amount of] money [for doing that. Judas agreed, so they gave him the money]. As a result, he [began] watching for an opportunity (to betray Jesus/to enable Jesus’ enemies to seize him).
| فَلَمَّا سَمِعُوا بِذلِكَ، فَرِحُوا، وَوَعَدُوهُ أَنْ يُعْطُوهُ مَالاً. فَأَخَذَ يَتَحَيَّنُ تَسْلِيمَهُ فِي فُرْصَةٍ مُنَاسِبَةٍ. | ١١ |
12 [Two days later], when they killed the lambs [for the] festival at the beginning of the week when [people ate] bread that had no yeast in it, Jesus’ disciples said to him, “Where do you want us to go and prepare the meal for the Passover [celebration] in order that you can eat it [with us]?”
| وَفِي الْيَوْمِ الأَوَّلِ مِنْ أَيَّامِ الْفَطِيرِ، وَفِيهِ كَانَ يُذْبَحُ (حَمَلُ) الْفِصْحِ، سَأَلَهُ تَلامِيذُهُ: «أَيْنَ تُرِيدُ أَنْ نَذْهَبَ وَنُجَهِّزَ لَكَ الْفِصْحَ لِتَأْكُلَ؟» | ١٢ |
13 So he [chose] two of his disciples [to prepare everything]. He said to them, “Go into [Jerusalem] city. A man will meet you, who will be carrying a large jar full of water. Follow him.
| فَأَرْسَلَ اثْنَيْنِ مِنْ تَلامِيذِهِ، قَائِلاً لَهُمَا: «اذْهَبَا إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ، وَسَيُلاقِيكُمَا هُنَاكَ رَجُلٌ يَحْمِلُ جَرَّةَ مَاءٍ، فَاتْبَعَاهُ. | ١٣ |
14 When he enters [a house], say to the man who owns the house, ‘[Our] teacher wants us to prepare [the meal of] the Passover celebration so that he can eat it with us his disciples. (Please show us the room that he [arranged with you about]./Where is the room that he [arranged with you about]?) [RHQ]’
| وَحَيْثُ يَدْخُلُ، قُولا لِرَبِّ الْبَيْتِ: إِنَّ الْمُعَلِّمَ يَقُولُ: أَيْنَ غُرْفَتِي الَّتِي فِيهَا سَآكُلُ الْفِصْحَ مَعَ تَلامِيذِي؟ | ١٤ |
15 He will show you a large room that is on the upper floor [of the house]. It will be furnished and ready [for us to eat a meal in it]. Then prepare the meal there for us.”
| فَيُرِيَكُمَا غُرْفَةً كَبِيرَةً فِي الطَّبَقَةِ الْعُلْيَا، مَفْرُوشَةً مُجَهَّزَةً. هُنَاكَ جَهِّزَا لَنَا!» | ١٥ |
16 So the [two] disciples left. They went into the city and found [everything] to be just like he had told them. They prepared the [meal for] the Passover [celebration, and then returned to Jesus and the other disciples].
| فَانْطَلَقَ التِّلْمِيذَانِ وَدَخَلا الْمَدِينَةَ، وَوَجَدَا كَمَا قَالَ لَهُمَا. وَهُنَاكَ جَهَّزَا لِلْفِصْحِ. | ١٦ |
17 When it was evening, Jesus arrived [at that house] with the twelve [disciples].
| وَلَمَّا حَلَّ الْمَسَاءُ، جَاءَ يَسُوعُ مَعَ الاِثْنَيْ عَشَرَ. | ١٧ |
18 As they were all sitting there [and eating], Jesus said, “Listen carefully to this: One of you will enable my enemies to seize me. Specifically, it is one of you who [will do this in spite of the fact that he] is eating with me [right now]!”
| وَبَيْنَمَا كَانُوا مُتَّكِئِينَ يَأْكُلُونَ، قَالَ يَسُوعُ: «الْحَقَّ أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: إِنَّ وَاحِداً مِنْكُمْ سَيُسَلِّمُنِي، وَهُوَ يَأْكُلُ الآنَ مَعِي». | ١٨ |
19 The disciples became very sad and they said to him one by one, “Surely (it is not I!/I am not the one, am I?) [RHQ]”
| فَأَخَذَ الْحُزْنُ يَسْتَوْلِي عَلَيْهِمْ، وَبَدَأُوا يَسْأَلُونَهُ وَاحِداً بَعْدَ الآخَرِ: «هَلْ أَنَا؟» | ١٩ |
20 Then he said to them, “It is one of [you] twelve [disciples], the one who is dipping [bread] into the [sauce in the] dish along with me.
| وَلكِنَّهُ أَجَابَهُمْ قَائِلاً: «إِنَّهُ وَاحِدٌ مِنَ الاِثْنَيْ عَشَرَ، وَهُوَ الَّذِي يَغْمِسُ مَعِي فِي الصَّحْفَةِ. | ٢٠ |
21 It is certain that [I], the one who came from heaven, will [die], because that is what has been {what [the prophets] have} written about me. But there will be terrible [punishment] for the man by whom I will be betrayed {who will (betray me/help my enemies to seize me)}! In fact, it would be better for that man if he had never been born!”
| إِنَّ ابْنَ الإِنْسَانِ لابُدَّ أَنْ يَمْضِيَ كَمَا قَدْ كُتِبَ عَنْهُ، وَلكِنِ الْوَيْلُ لِذلِكَ الرَّجُلِ الَّذِي عَلَى يَدِهِ يُسَلَّمُ ابْنُ الإِنْسَانِ. كَانَ خَيْراً لِذلِكَ الرَّجُلِ لَوْ لَمْ يُولَدْ!» | ٢١ |
22 While they were eating, he took [a flat loaf of] bread and thanked God for it. Then he broke it [into pieces] and gave it to them and said to them, “This [bread represents] [MET] my body. Take it [and eat it].”
| وَبَيْنَمَا كَانُوا يَأْكُلُونَ، أَخَذَ يَسُوعُ رَغِيفاً، وَبَارَكَ، وَكَسَّرَ، وَأَعْطَاهُمْ قَائِلاً: «خُذُوا: هَذَا هُوَ جَسَدِي». | ٢٢ |
23 Afterwards, he took a cup [that contained wine] and thanked [God for it]. Then he gave it to them, and then, as they all drank from it,
| ثُمَّ أَخَذَ الْكَأْسَ، وَشَكَرَ، وَأَعْطَاهُمْ، فَشَرِبُوا مِنْهَا كُلُّهُمْ، | ٢٣ |
24 he said to them, “This [wine represents] [MET] my blood, which is about to be shed {which is about to flow from my body} [when my enemies kill me]. With this blood I [will sign] the agreement [that God has made to forgive the sins of] many people.
| وَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «هَذَا هُوَ دَمِي الَّذِي لِلْعَهْدِ الْجَدِيدِ، الَّذِي يُسْفَكُ مِنْ أَجْلِ كَثِيرِينَ. | ٢٤ |
25 I want you to know this: I will not drink any more wine in this way until the time when I drink it with a new [meaning] when I begin to rule as a king.”
| الْحَقَّ أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: لَا أَشْرَبُ بَعْدُ مِنْ نِتَاجِ الْكَرْمَةِ أَبَداً، إِلَى ذلِكَ الْيَوْمِ الَّذِي أَشْرَبُهُ فِيهِ جَدِيداً فِي مَلَكُوتِ اللهِ». | ٢٥ |
26 After they sang a hymn, they went out toward Olive [Tree] Hill.
| ثُمَّ رَتَّلُوا، وَانْطَلَقُوا خَارِجاً إِلَى جَبَلِ الزَّيْتُونِ. | ٢٦ |
27 [While they were on their way], Jesus said to them, “It has been {[The prophets] have} written [in the Scriptures that God said about me], ‘I will kill the shepherd and his sheep will scatter.’ [Those words will come true. When they are about to capture me], all of you will leave me and run away.
| وَقَالَ لَهُمْ يَسُوعُ: «كُلُّكُمْ سَتَشُكُّونَ، لأَنَّهُ قَدْ كُتِبَ: سَأَضْرِبُ الرَّاعِي، فَتَتَشَتَّتُ الْخِرَافُ. | ٢٧ |
28 But after I have been made {[God] has made me} alive again, I will go ahead of you to Galilee [district and meet you there].”
| وَلكِنْ بَعْدَ قِيَامَتِي، سَأَسْبِقُكُمْ إِلَى الْجَلِيلِ». | ٢٨ |
29 Then Peter said to him, “Perhaps all the [other disciples] will leave you, but not I! I will not [leave you]!”
| وَلكِنَّ بُطْرُسَ قَالَ لَهُ: «وَلَوْ شَكَّ الْجَمِيعُ، فَأَنَا لَنْ أَشُكَّ». | ٢٩ |
30 Then Jesus said to him, “The truth is that this very night, before the rooster crows a second time, you yourself will deny three times [that you know] me!”
| فَقَالَ لَهُ يَسُوعُ: «الْحَقَّ أَقُولُ لَكَ: إِنَّكَ الْيَوْمَ، فِي هذِهِ اللَّيْلَةِ، قَبْلَ أَنْ يَصِيحَ الدِّيكُ مَرَّتَيْنِ، تَكُونُ قَدْ أَنْكَرْتَنِي ثَلاثَ مَرَّاتٍ». | ٣٠ |
31 But Peter replied strongly, “Even if they kill me [as I defend] you, I will never deny [that I know] you!” And all [the other disciples] said the same thing.
| إِلّا أَنَّ بُطْرُسَ قَالَ بِأَكْثَرِ تَأْكِيدٍ: «وَلَوْ كَانَ عَلَيَّ أَنْ أَمُوتَ مَعَكَ، لَا أُنْكِرُكَ أَبَداً!» وَقَالَ التَّلامِيذُ كُلُّهُمْ مِثْلَ هَذَا الْقَوْلِ. | ٣١ |
32 [On the way], Jesus and the disciples came to the place that [people] call Gethsemane. Then he said to [some/eight of] his disciples, “Stay here while I pray!”
| وَوَصَلُوا إِلَى بُسْتَانٍ اسْمُهُ جَثْسَيْمَانِي، فَقَالَ لِتَلامِيذِهِ: «اجْلِسُوا هُنَا حَتَّى أُصَلِّيَ». | ٣٢ |
33 Then he took Peter, James, and John with him. He became extremely distressed, and he said to them,
| وَقَدْ أَخَذَ مَعَهُ بُطْرُسَ وَيَعْقُوبَ وَيُوحَنَّا، وَبَدَأَ يَشْعُرُ بِالرَّهْبَةِ وَالْكَآبَةِ. | ٣٣ |
34 “I [SYN] am very sorrowful. [It is as if] I were about to die. [You men] remain here and stay awake!”
| وَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «نَفْسِي حَزِينَةٌ جِدّاً حَتَّى الْمَوْتِ. اِبْقَوْا هُنَا وَاسْهَرُوا». | ٣٤ |
35 He went a bit further and threw himself on the ground. Then he prayed that if it were possible, he would not [have to suffer] [MTY].
| ثُمَّ ابْتَعَدَ قَلِيلاً، وَخَرَّ عَلَى الأَرْضِ، وَأَخَذَ يُصَلِّي لِكَيْ تَعْبُرَ عَنْهُ السَّاعَةُ إِنْ كَانَ مُمْكِناً. | ٣٥ |
36 He said, “O my Father, [because] you are able to do everything, rescue me so that I do not have to suffer [now] [MTY]! But do not [do] what I want. Instead, [do] what you want!”
| وَقَالَ «أَبَّا، يَا أَبِي، كُلُّ شَيْءٍ مُسْتَطَاعٌ لَدَيْكَ. فَأَبْعِدْ عَنِّي هذِهِ الْكَأْسَ، وَلكِنْ لِيَكُنْ لَا مَا أُرِيدُ أَنَا، بَلْ مَا تُرِيدُ أَنْتَ!» | ٣٦ |
37 Then he returned and found his [disciples] sleeping. He [woke them up and] said, “Simon! ([I am disappointed that] you fell asleep and that you were not able to stay awake for just a short time!/[Why is it that] you fell asleep and that you were not able to stay awake for just one hour?) [RHQ]”
| ثُمَّ رَجَعَ فَوَجَدَ تَلامِيذَهُ نَائِمِينَ، فَقَالَ لِبُطْرُسَ: «هَلْ أَنْتَ نَائِمٌ يَا سِمْعَانُ؟ أَلَمْ تَقْدِرْ أَنْ تَسْهَرَ سَاعَةً وَاحِدَةً؟ | ٣٧ |
38 [And he said to them], “You want [to do what I say], but you are not strong enough [MTY] [to actually do it]. So keep awake and pray in order that you can resist when [something like this] tempts you!”
| اسْهَرُوا وَصَلُّوا لِئَلّا تَدْخُلُوا فِي تَجْرِبَةٍ. إِنَّ الرُّوحَ نَشِيطٌ، وَأَمَّا الْجَسَدُ فَضَعِيفٌ». | ٣٨ |
39 Then he went away again and prayed again what he prayed before.
| ثُمَّ ذَهَبَ وَصَلَّى ثَانِيَةً، فَرَدَّدَ الْكَلامَ نَفْسَهُ. | ٣٩ |
40 When he returned, he found that they were sleeping again because they were [so] sleepy that they could not keep their eyes open. [Because they were ashamed], they did not know what to say to him [when he awakened them].
| وَلَمَّا رَجَعَ، وَجَدَهُمْ أَيْضاً نَائِمِينَ لأَنَّ النُّعَاسَ أَثْقَلَ أَعْيُنَهُمْ، وَلَمْ يَدْرُوا بِمَاذَا يُجِيبُونَهُ. | ٤٠ |
41 [Then he went and prayed again]. He returned a third time; [and he found them sleeping again]. He [woke] all of [them and] said to them, “([I am disappointed that you are] sleeping again!/[Why are you] sleeping again?) [RHQ] [You have slept] enough. The time [for me to suffer] is about to begin. Look! Someone is about to enable sinful men to seize me, the one who came from heaven.
| ثُمَّ رَجَعَ فِي الْمَرَّةِ الثَّالِثَةِ وَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «نَامُوا الآنَ وَاسْتَرِيحُوا. يَكْفِي! أَقْبَلَتِ السَّاعَةُ. هَا إِنَّ ابْنَ الإِنْسَانِ يُسَلَّمُ إِلَى أَيْدِي الْخَاطِئِينَ. | ٤١ |
42 [So] get up! Let’s go [toward him] Look! Here comes the one who is enabling them to seize me!”
| قُومُوا لِنَذْهَبَ. هَا قَدِ اقْتَرَبَ الَّذِي يُسَلِّمُنِي!» | ٤٢ |
43 While he was still speaking, Judas [arrived]. [Even though he was] one of [Jesus’] twelve [disciples], he came [to enable Jesus’ enemies to seize him]. A crowd who carried swords and clubs was with him. The [leaders of] the Jewish Council had sent them.
| وَفِي الْحَالِ، فِيمَا هُوَ يَتَكَلَّمُ، وَصَلَ يَهُوذَا، أَحَدُ الاِثْنَيْ عَشَرَ، وَمَعَهُ جَمْعٌ عَظِيمٌ يَحْمِلُونَ السُّيُوفَ وَالْعِصِيَّ، وَقَدْ أَرْسَلَهُمْ رُؤَسَاءُ الْكَهَنَةِ وَالْكَتَبَةُ وَالشُّيُوخُ. | ٤٣ |
44 [Judas], who was (betraying Jesus/helping Jesus’ enemies to seize him), had [previously] told this crowd, “The man whom I kiss is the one [whom you want. When I kiss him], seize him and lead him away [while you guard him] carefully.”
| وَكَانَ مُسَلِّمُهُ قَدْ أَعْطَاهُمْ عَلامَةً قَائِلاً: «الَّذِي أُقَبِّلُهُ، فَهُوَ هُوَ. فَاقْبِضُوا عَلَيْهِ وَسُوقُوهُ بِحَذَرٍ». | ٤٤ |
45 So, when Judas arrived, he immediately went to Jesus and said, “My teacher!” Then he kissed Jesus [on his neck/cheek].
| فَمَا إِنْ وَصَلَ يَهُوذَا، حَتَّى تَقَدَّمَ إِلَيْهِ، وَقَالَ: «سَيِّدِي!» وَقَبَّلَهُ بِحَرَارَةٍ. | ٤٥ |
46 Then [the crowd] seized Jesus.
| فَأَلْقَوْا الْقَبْضَ عَلَيْهِ. | ٤٦ |
47 But one of the [disciples] who was standing nearby drew his short sword. He struck the servant of the high priest with it [to kill him, but he only] cut off his ear.
| وَلكِنَّ وَاحِداً مِنَ الْوَاقِفِينَ هُنَاكَ، اسْتَلَّ سَيْفَهُ وَضَرَبَ عَبْدَ رَئِيسِ الْكَهَنَةِ فَقَطَعَ أُذُنَهُ. | ٤٧ |
48 Jesus said to them, “([It is ridiculous that] you come [here to seize] me with swords and clubs, as if I were a bandit!/Have you come [here to seize] me with swords and clubs, as if I were a bandit [RHQ]?) Day after day I was with you in the Temple [courtyard] teaching [the people] Why did you not seize me then? [But this is happening] in order that [what the prophets have written in] the Scriptures [about me] may be fulfilled {may happen}.”
| وَكَلَّمَهُمْ يَسُوعُ قَائِلاً: «أَكَمَا عَلَى لِصٍّ خَرَجْتُمْ بِالسُّيُوفِ وَالْعِصِيِّ لِتَقْبِضُوا عَلَيَّ؟ | ٤٨ |
| كُنْتُ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ بَيْنَكُمْ أُعَلِّمُ فِي الْهَيْكَلِ، وَلَمْ تَقْبِضُوا عَلَيَّ. وَلَكِنَّ هَذَا يَجْرِي إِتْمَاماً لِلْكِتَابِ». | ٤٩ |
50 All [the disciples at once] left him and ran away.
| عِنْدَئِذٍ تَرَكَهُ الْجَمِيعُ وَهَرَبُوا. | ٥٠ |
51 At that time, (a young man/I) was following Jesus. He/[I was] wearing only a linen cloth around his/my body. The crowd seized him/me.
| وَتَبِعَهُ شَابٌّ لَا يَلْبَسُ غَيْرَ إِزَارٍ عَلَى عُرْيِهِ، فَأَمْسَكُوهُ. | ٥١ |
52 But, [as he/I pulled away from them], he/I left behind the linen cloth [in their hands], and then he/I ran away naked.
| فَتَرَكَ الإِزَارَ وَهَرَبَ مِنْهُمْ عُرْيَاناً. | ٥٢ |
53 The men [who had seized] Jesus led him away to [the house where] the supreme priest [lived]. All of the Jewish Council were gathering [there].
| وَسَاقُوا يَسُوعَ إِلَى رَئِيسِ الْكَهَنَةِ. فَاجْتَمَعَ إِلَيْهِ جَمِيعُ رُؤَسَاءِ الْكَهَنَةِ وَالشُّيُوخُ وَالْكَتَبَةُ. | ٥٣ |
54 Peter followed Jesus at a distance. He went into the courtyard [of the house] where the supreme priest [lived], and sat there with the men who guarded [the house of the supreme priest]. He was warming himself beside a fire.
| وَتَبِعَهُ بُطْرُسُ مِنْ بَعِيدٍ إِلَى دَاخِلِ دَارِ رَئِيسِ الْكَهَنَةِ، وَكَانَ جَالِساً مَعَ الْحُرَّاسِ يَسْتَدْفِئُ عِنْدَ النَّارِ. | ٥٤ |
55 The chief priests and all the rest of the Jewish council [had already] tried to find people who would tell lies about Jesus [in order that they could convince the Roman authorities] to execute him. But they did not succeed,
| وَأَخَذَ رُؤَسَاءُ الْكَهَنَةِ وَالْمَجْلِسُ الأَعْلَى كُلُّهُ يَبْحَثُونَ عَنْ شَهَادَةٍ عَلَى يَسُوعَ لِيَقْتُلُوهُ، فَلَمْ يَجِدُوا. | ٥٥ |
56 because, although many people spoke lies about him, they contradicted each other.
| فَقَدْ شَهِدَ كَثِيرُونَ عَلَيْهِ زُوراً، وَلكِنَّ شَهَادَاتِهِمْ كَانَتْ مُتَنَاقِضَةً. | ٥٦ |
57 [Finally], some stood up and accused him falsely by saying,
| ثُمَّ قَامَ بَعْضُهُمْ وَشَهِدُوا عَلَيْهِ زُوراً قَائِلِينَ: | ٥٧ |
58 “We heard him when he said, ‘I will destroy this Temple that was built by men, and then within three days I will build another temple (without help from anyone else/that human hands will not build).’”
| «سَمِعْنَاهُ يَقُولُ: سَأَهْدِمُ هَذَا الْهَيْكَلَ الَّذِي صَنَعَتْهُ الأَيَادِي، وَفِي ثَلاثَةِ أَيَّامٍ أَبْنِي هَيْكَلاً آخَرَ لَمْ تَصْنَعْهُ الأَيَادِي». | ٥٨ |
59 But, what [some of] these men said also did not agree with [what others of them said].
| وَلكِنْ فِي هَذَا أَيْضاً، كَانَتْ شَهَادَاتُهُمْ مُتَنَاقِضَةً. | ٥٩ |
60 Then the supreme priest [himself] stood up in front of them and said to Jesus, “Are you not going to reply? What [do you say about] all the things that they are saying in order to accuse you?”
| فَوَقَفَ رَئِيسُ الْكَهَنَةِ فِي وَسَطِ الْمَجْلِسِ وَسَأَلَ يَسُوعَ: «أَمَا تَرُدُّ شَيْئاً؟ بِمَاذَا يَشْهَدُ هؤُلاءِ عَلَيْكَ؟» | ٦٠ |
61 But Jesus was silent and did not reply [DOU]. Then the supreme priest [tried again]. He asked him, “Are you the Messiah? [Do you say that you are] (the Son of God/the man who is also God)?”
| وَلكِنَّهُ ظَلَّ صَامِتاً وَلَمْ يُجِبْ بِشَيْءٍ. فَعَادَ رَئِيسُ الْكَهَنَةِ يَسْأَلُهُ، فَقَالَ: «أَأَنْتَ الْمَسِيحُ، ابْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ؟» | ٦١ |
62 Jesus said, “I am. Furthermore, you will see me, the one who came from heaven, [ruling] beside God, who is completely powerful. [You will also see me] coming down through the clouds in the sky!”
| فَقَالَ يَسُوعُ: «أَنَا هُوَ. وَسَوْفَ تَرَوْنَ ابْنَ الإِنْسَانِ جَالِساً عَنْ يَمِينِ الْقُدْرَةِ، ثُمَّ آتِياً عَلَى سُحُبِ السَّمَاءِ!» | ٦٢ |
63 [In response to Jesus’ words], the supreme priest tore his outer garment. [That was their custom to show that he was shocked that Jesus had said that he was equal to God]. Then he said, “We certainly do not [RHQ] need any [more] people who will testify [against this man],
| فَشَقَّ رَئِيسُ الْكَهَنَةِ ثِيَابَهُ، وَقَالَ: «لا حَاجَةَ بِنَا بَعْدُ إِلَى شُهُودٍ. | ٦٣ |
64 [because] you have heard what he said against God! [He claimed to be equal with God] Therefore, what have you decided?” They all said that Jesus was guilty and deserved (to be executed/that they should kill him).
| قَدْ سَمِعْتُمْ كَلامَ كُفْرِهِ: فَمَا رَأْيُكُمْ؟» فَحَكَمَ الْجَمِيعُ بِأَنَّهُ يَسْتَحِقُّ الْمَوْتَ. | ٦٤ |
65 Then some of them began spitting on Jesus. They put a blindfold on him, and then they began striking him and saying to him, “[If you are] a prophet, tell us [who hit you]!” And those who were guarding Jesus struck him with their hands.
| فَبَدَأَ بَعْضُهُمْ يَبْصُقُونَ عَلَيْهِ، وَيُغَطُّونَ وَجْهَهُ وَيَلْطِمُونَهُ وَيَقُولُونَ لَهُ: «تَنَبَّأْ!» وَأَخَذَ الْحُرَّاسُ يَصْفَعُونَهُ. | ٦٥ |
66 While Peter was outside in the courtyard [of the supreme priest’s house], one of the girls who worked for the supreme priest came [near him].
| وَبَيْنَمَا كَانَ بُطْرُسُ تَحْتُ فِي سَاحَةِ الدَّارِ، جَاءَتْ إِحْدَى خَادِمَاتِ رَئِيسِ الْكَهَنَةِ، | ٦٦ |
67 When she saw Peter warming himself [beside the fire], she looked at him [closely]. Then she said, “You also were with Jesus, that man from Nazareth [town]!”
| فَلَمَّا رَأَتْ بُطْرُسَ يَسْتَدْفِئُ، نَظَرَتْ إِلَيْهِ وَقَالَتْ: «وَأَنْتَ كُنْتَ مَعَ يَسُوعَ النَّاصِرِيِّ!» | ٦٧ |
68 But he denied it by saying, “I do not know or understand [DOU] what you are talking about!” Then he went away [from there] to the gate [of the courtyard].
| وَلكِنَّهُ أَنْكَرَ قَائِلاً: «لا أَدْرِي وَلا أَفْهَمُ مَا تَقُولِينَ!» ثُمَّ ذَهَبَ خَارِجاً إِلَى مَدْخَلِ الدَّارِ. فَصَاحَ الدِّيكُ | ٦٨ |
69 [The] servant girl saw him there and said to the people who were standing nearby, “This man is one of [those who have been with that man they arrested].”
| وَإِذْ رَأَتْهُ الْخَادِمَةُ ثَانِيَةً، أَخَذَتْ تَقُولُ لِلْوَاقِفِينَ هُنَاكَ: «هَذَا وَاحِدٌ مِنْهُمْ!» | ٦٩ |
70 But he denied it again. After a little while, one of those who were standing there said to Peter again, “[The way you speak shows that] you also are from Galilee [district]. So it is certain that you are one of those [who accompanied Jesus!]”
| فَأَنْكَرَ ثَانِيَةً. وَبَعْدَ قَلِيلٍ أَيْضاً، قَالَ الْوَاقِفُونَ هُنَاكَ لِبُطْرُسَ: «حَقّاً أَنْتَ وَاحِدٌ مِنْهُمْ، لأَنَّكَ جَلِيلِيٌّ». | ٧٠ |
71 But he began to exclaim, “I do not know the man that you are talking about! Because God knows that I am speaking truthfully, may he punish me [if I am lying]!”
| وَلكِنَّهُ بَدَأَ يَلْعَنُ وَيَحْلِفُ: «إِنِّي لَا أَعْرِفُ هَذَا الرَّجُلَ الَّذِي تَتَحَدَّثُونَ عَنْهُ». | ٧١ |
72 Immediately the rooster crowed a second time. Then Peter remembered what Jesus had said to him [before], “Before the rooster crows a second time, you will deny three times [that you know me.” When he realized that he had denied it three times], he started crying.
| وَصَاحَ الدِّيكُ مَرَّةً ثَانِيَةً فَتَذَكَّرَ بُطْرُسُ مَا قَالَه يَسُوعُ لَهُ: «قَبْلَ أَنْ يَصِيحَ الدِّيكُ مَرَّتَيْنِ، تَكُونُ قَدْ أَنْكَرْتَنِي ثَلاثَ مَرَّاتٍ». وَإِذْ تَفَكَّرَ بِذَلِكَ أَخَذَ يَبْكِي. | ٧٢ |
