< Luke 23 >

1 The whole company of them rose up and brought him before Pilate.
ܘܩܡܘ ܟܠܗ ܟܢܫܗܘܢ ܘܐܝܬܝܘܗܝ ܠܘܬ ܦܝܠܛܘܤ
2 They began to accuse him, saying, “We found this man perverting the nation, forbidding paying taxes to Caesar, and saying that he himself is Christ, a king.”
ܘܫܪܝܘ ܐܟܠܝܢ ܩܪܨܘܗܝ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗܢܐ ܐܫܟܚܢ ܕܡܛܥܐ ܥܡܢ ܘܟܠܐ ܕܟܤܦ ܪܫܐ ܠܩܤܪ ܠܐ ܢܬܠ ܘܐܡܪ ܥܠ ܢܦܫܗ ܕܡܠܟܐ ܗܘ ܡܫܝܚܐ
3 Pilate asked him, “Are you the King of the Jews?” He answered him, “So you say.”
ܦܝܠܛܘܤ ܕܝܢ ܫܐܠܗ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܐܢܬ ܗܘ ܡܠܟܐ ܕܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܐܢܬ ܐܡܪܬ
4 Pilate said to the chief priests and the multitudes, “I find no basis for a charge against this man.”
ܘܐܡܪ ܦܝܠܛܘܤ ܠܪܒܝ ܟܗܢܐ ܘܠܟܢܫܐ ܐܢܐ ܡܕܡ ܥܠܬܐ ܠܐ ܡܫܟܚ ܐܢܐ ܥܠ ܓܒܪܐ ܗܢܐ
5 But they insisted, saying, “He stirs up the people, teaching throughout all Judea, beginning from Galilee even to this place.”
ܗܢܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܡܙܥܩܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܕܫܓܫܗ ܠܥܡܢ ܟܕ ܡܠܦ ܒܟܠܗ ܝܗܘܕ ܘܫܪܝ ܡܢ ܓܠܝܠܐ ܘܥܕܡܐ ܠܗܪܟܐ
6 But when Pilate heard Galilee mentioned, he asked if the man was a Galilean.
ܦܝܠܛܘܤ ܕܝܢ ܟܕ ܫܡܥ ܫܡܐ ܕܓܠܝܠܐ ܫܐܠ ܕܐܢ ܓܒܪܐ ܗܘ ܓܠܝܠܝܐ
7 When he found out that he was in Herod’s jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod, who was also in Jerusalem during those days.
ܘܟܕ ܝܕܥ ܕܡܢ ܬܚܝܬ ܫܘܠܛܢܐ ܗܘ ܕܗܪܘܕܤ ܫܕܪܗ ܠܘܬܗ ܕܗܪܘܕܤ ܡܛܠ ܕܒܐܘܪܫܠܡ ܗܘܐ ܒܗܢܘܢ ܝܘܡܬܐ
8 Now when Herod saw Jesus, he was exceedingly glad, for he had wanted to see him for a long time, because he had heard many things about him. He hoped to see some miracle done by him.
ܗܪܘܕܤ ܕܝܢ ܟܕ ܚܙܝܗܝ ܠܝܫܘܥ ܚܕܝ ܛܒ ܨܒܐ ܗܘܐ ܓܝܪ ܠܡܚܙܝܗ ܡܢ ܙܒܢܐ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܡܛܠ ܕܫܡܥ ܗܘܐ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܤܓܝܐܬܐ ܘܡܤܒܪ ܗܘܐ ܕܡܕܡ ܐܬܐ ܢܚܙܐ ܡܢܗ
9 He questioned him with many words, but he gave no answers.
ܘܡܠܐ ܤܓܝܐܬܐ ܡܫܐܠ ܗܘܐ ܠܗ ܝܫܘܥ ܕܝܢ ܡܕܡ ܦܬܓܡܐ ܠܐ ܐܬܝܒܗ
10 The chief priests and the scribes stood, vehemently accusing him.
ܩܝܡܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܕܝܢ ܪܒܝ ܟܗܢܐ ܘܤܦܪܐ ܘܥܙܝܙܐܝܬ ܐܟܠܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܩܪܨܘܗܝ
11 Herod with his soldiers humiliated him and mocked him. Dressing him in luxurious clothing, they sent him back to Pilate.
ܗܪܘܕܤ ܕܝܢ ܫܛܗ ܗܘ ܘܦܠܚܘܗܝ ܘܟܕ ܡܒܙܚ ܐܠܒܫܗ ܢܚܬܐ ܕܙܚܘܪܝܬܐ ܘܫܕܪܗ ܠܘܬ ܦܝܠܛܘܤ
12 Herod and Pilate became friends with each other that very day, for before that they were enemies with each other.
ܘܒܗܘ ܝܘܡܐ ܗܘܘ ܪܚܡܐ ܦܝܠܛܘܤ ܘܗܪܘܕܤ ܥܡ ܚܕܕܐ ܒܥܠܕܒܒܘܬܐ ܗܘܬ ܓܝܪ ܡܢ ܩܕܝܡ ܒܝܢܬܗܘܢ
13 Pilate called together the chief priests, the rulers, and the people,
ܩܪܐ ܕܝܢ ܦܝܠܛܘܤ ܠܪܒܝ ܟܗܢܐ ܘܠܐܪܟܘܢܐ ܘܠܥܡܐ
14 and said to them, “You brought this man to me as one that perverts the people, and behold, having examined him before you, I found no basis for a charge against this man concerning those things of which you accuse him.
ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܩܪܒܬܘܢ ܠܝ ܓܒܪܐ ܗܢܐ ܐܝܟ ܡܗܦܟ ܥܡܟܘܢ ܘܗܐ ܐܢܐ ܥܩܒܬܗ ܠܥܢܝܟܘܢ ܘܥܠܬܐ ܡܕܡ ܠܐ ܐܫܟܚܬ ܒܓܒܪܐ ܗܢܐ ܡܢ ܟܠ ܕܡܪܫܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܒܗ
15 Neither has Herod, for I sent you to him, and see, nothing worthy of death has been done by him.
ܐܠܐ ܐܦܠܐ ܗܪܘܕܤ ܫܕܪܬܗ ܓܝܪ ܠܘܬܗ ܘܗܐ ܠܐ ܡܕܡ ܕܫܘܐ ܠܡܘܬܐ ܤܥܝܪ ܠܗ
16 I will therefore chastise him and release him.”
ܐܪܕܝܘܗܝ ܗܟܝܠ ܘܐܫܒܩܝܘܗܝ
17 Now he had to release one prisoner to them at the feast.
ܥܝܕܐ ܓܝܪ ܐܝܬ ܗܘܐ ܕܢܫܪܐ ܠܗܘܢ ܚܕ ܒܥܕܥܕܐ
18 But they all cried out together, saying, “Away with this man! Release to us Barabbas!”—
ܩܥܘ ܕܝܢ ܟܠܗ ܟܢܫܐ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܫܩܘܠܝܗܝ ܠܗܢܐ ܘܫܪܝ ܠܢ ܠܒܪ ܐܒܐ
19 one who was thrown into prison for a certain revolt in the city, and for murder.
ܗܘ ܐܝܢܐ ܕܡܛܠ ܐܤܛܤܝܤ ܕܗܘܬ ܒܡܕܝܢܬܐ ܘܩܛܠܐ ܪܡܐ ܗܘܐ ܒܝܬ ܐܤܝܪܐ
20 Then Pilate spoke to them again, wanting to release Jesus,
ܬܘܒ ܕܝܢ ܡܠܠ ܥܡܗܘܢ ܦܝܠܛܘܤ ܟܕ ܨܒܐ ܕܢܫܪܐ ܠܝܫܘܥ
21 but they shouted, saying, “Crucify! Crucify him!”
ܗܢܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܩܥܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܙܩܘܦܝܗܝ ܙܩܘܦܝܗܝ
22 He said to them the third time, “Why? What evil has this man done? I have found no capital crime in him. I will therefore chastise him and release him.”
ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܕܬܠܬ ܙܒܢܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܡܢܐ ܓܝܪ ܕܒܝܫ ܥܒܕ ܗܢܐ ܡܕܡ ܥܠܬܐ ܕܫܘܝܐ ܠܡܘܬܐ ܠܐ ܐܫܟܚܬ ܒܗ ܐܪܕܝܘܗܝ ܗܟܝܠ ܘܐܫܒܩܝܘܗܝ
23 But they were urgent with loud voices, asking that he might be crucified. Their voices and the voices of the chief priests prevailed.
ܗܢܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܬܟܒܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܒܩܠܐ ܪܡܐ ܘܫܐܠܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܗ ܕܢܙܩܦܘܢܝܗܝ ܘܥܫܢ ܗܘܐ ܩܠܗܘܢ ܕܝܠܗܘܢ ܘܕܪܒܝ ܟܗܢܐ
24 Pilate decreed that what they asked for should be done.
ܦܝܠܛܘܤ ܕܝܢ ܦܩܕ ܕܬܗܘܐ ܫܐܠܬܗܘܢ
25 He released him who had been thrown into prison for insurrection and murder, for whom they asked, but he delivered Jesus up to their will.
ܘܫܪܐ ܠܗܘܢ ܠܗܘ ܕܡܛܠ ܐܤܛܤܝܤ ܘܩܛܠܐ ܪܡܐ ܗܘܐ ܒܝܬ ܐܤܝܪܐ ܗܘ ܕܫܐܠܘ ܠܝܫܘܥ ܕܝܢ ܐܫܠܡ ܠܨܒܝܢܗܘܢ
26 When they led him away, they grabbed one Simon of Cyrene, coming from the country, and laid the cross on him to carry it after Jesus.
ܘܟܕ ܡܘܒܠܝܢ ܠܗ ܐܚܕܘ ܠܫܡܥܘܢ ܩܘܪܝܢܝܐ ܕܐܬܐ ܡܢ ܩܪܝܬܐ ܘܤܡܘ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܙܩܝܦܐ ܕܢܛܥܢ ܒܬܪܗ ܕܝܫܘܥ
27 A great multitude of the people followed him, including women who also mourned and lamented him.
ܘܐܬܐ ܗܘܐ ܒܬܪܗ ܤܘܓܐܐ ܕܥܡܐ ܘܢܫܐ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܡܪܩܕܢ ܗܘܝ ܘܐܠܝܢ ܥܠܘܗܝ
28 But Jesus, turning to them, said, “Daughters of Jerusalem, don’t weep for me, but weep for yourselves and for your children.
ܘܐܬܦܢܝ ܝܫܘܥ ܠܘܬܗܝܢ ܘܐܡܪ ܒܢܬ ܐܘܪܫܠܡ ܠܐ ܬܒܟܝܢ ܥܠܝ ܒܪܡ ܥܠ ܢܦܫܟܝܢ ܒܟܝܝܢ ܘܥܠ ܒܢܝܟܝܢ
29 For behold, the days are coming in which they will say, ‘Blessed are the barren, the wombs that never bore, and the breasts that never nursed.’
ܕܗܐ ܐܬܝܢ ܝܘܡܬܐ ܕܒܗܘܢ ܢܐܡܪܘܢ ܛܘܒܝܗܝܢ ܠܥܩܪܬܐ ܘܠܟܪܤܬܐ ܕܠܐ ܝܠܕ ܘܠܬܕܝܐ ܕܠܐ ܐܝܢܩܘ
30 Then they will begin to tell the mountains, ‘Fall on us!’ and tell the hills, ‘Cover us.’
ܗܝܕܝܢ ܬܫܪܘܢ ܠܡܐܡܪ ܠܛܘܪܐ ܕܦܠܘ ܥܠܝܢ ܘܠܪܡܬܐ ܕܟܤܝܢܢ
31 For if they do these things in the green tree, what will be done in the dry?”
ܕܐܢ ܒܩܝܤܐ ܪܛܝܒܐ ܗܠܝܢ ܥܒܕܝܢ ܒܝܒܝܫܐ ܡܢܐ ܢܗܘܐ
32 There were also others, two criminals, led with him to be put to death.
ܘܐܬܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܥܡܗ ܬܪܝܢ ܐܚܪܢܝܢ ܥܒܕܝ ܒܝܫܬܐ ܕܢܬܩܛܠܘܢ
33 When they came to the place that is called “The Skull”, they crucified him there with the criminals, one on the right and the other on the left.
ܘܟܕ ܐܬܘ ܠܕܘܟܬܐ ܚܕܐ ܕܡܬܩܪܝܐ ܩܪܩܦܬܐ ܙܩܦܘܗܝ ܬܡܢ ܘܠܗܢܘܢ ܥܒܕܝ ܒܝܫܬܐ ܚܕ ܡܢ ܝܡܝܢܗ ܘܚܕ ܡܢ ܤܡܠܗ
34 Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they don’t know what they are doing.” Dividing his garments among them, they cast lots.
ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܐܡܪ ܗܘܐ ܐܒܐ ܫܒܘܩ ܠܗܘܢ ܠܐ ܓܝܪ ܝܕܥܝܢ ܡܢܐ ܥܒܕܝܢ ܘܦܠܓܘ ܢܚܬܘܗܝ ܘܐܪܡܝܘ ܥܠܝܗܘܢ ܦܤܐ
35 The people stood watching. The rulers with them also scoffed at him, saying, “He saved others. Let him save himself, if this is the Christ of God, his chosen one!”
ܩܐܡ ܗܘܐ ܕܝܢ ܥܡܐ ܘܚܙܐ ܘܡܡܝܩܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܒܗ ܐܦ ܐܪܟܘܢܐ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܐܚܪܢܐ ܐܚܝ ܢܚܐ ܢܦܫܗ ܐܢ ܗܘܝܘ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܓܒܝܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ
36 The soldiers also mocked him, coming to him and offering him vinegar,
ܘܡܒܙܚܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܒܗ ܐܦ ܐܤܛܪܛܝܘܛܐ ܟܕ ܩܪܒܝܢ ܠܘܬܗ ܘܡܩܪܒܝܢ ܠܗ ܚܠܐ
37 and saying, “If you are the King of the Jews, save yourself!”
ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗ ܐܢ ܐܢܬ ܗܘ ܡܠܟܐ ܕܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܐܚܐ ܢܦܫܟ
38 An inscription was also written over him in letters of Greek, Latin, and Hebrew: “THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.”
ܐܝܬ ܗܘܐ ܕܝܢ ܐܦ ܟܬܒܐ ܕܟܬܝܒ ܠܥܠ ܡܢܗ ܝܘܢܐܝܬ ܘܪܗܘܡܐܝܬ ܘܥܒܪܐܝܬ ܗܢܘ ܡܠܟܐ ܕܝܗܘܕܝܐ
39 One of the criminals who was hanged insulted him, saying, “If you are the Christ, save yourself and us!”
ܚܕ ܕܝܢ ܡܢ ܗܢܘܢ ܥܒܕܝ ܒܝܫܬܐ ܕܨܠܝܒܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܥܡܗ ܡܓܕܦ ܗܘܐ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܘܐܡܪ ܐܢ ܐܢܬ ܗܘ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܦܨܐ ܢܦܫܟ ܘܦܨܐ ܐܦ ܠܢ
40 But the other answered, and rebuking him said, “Don’t you even fear God, seeing you are under the same condemnation?
ܘܟܐܐ ܒܗ ܚܒܪܗ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܐܦ ܠܐ ܡܢ ܐܠܗܐ ܕܚܠ ܐܢܬ ܕܐܦ ܐܢܬ ܒܗ ܐܢܬ ܒܕܝܢܐ
41 And we indeed justly, for we receive the due reward for our deeds, but this man has done nothing wrong.”
ܘܚܢܢ ܟܐܢܐܝܬ ܐܝܟ ܕܫܘܝܢ ܗܘܝܢ ܓܝܪ ܘܐܝܟ ܕܥܒܕܢ ܐܬܦܪܥܢ ܗܢܐ ܕܝܢ ܡܕܡ ܕܤܢܐ ܠܐ ܥܒܝܕ ܠܗ
42 He said to Jesus, “Lord, remember me when you come into your Kingdom.”
ܘܐܡܪ ܠܝܫܘܥ ܐܬܕܟܪܝܢܝ ܡܪܝ ܡܐ ܕܐܬܐ ܐܢܬ ܒܡܠܟܘܬܟ
43 Jesus said to him, “Assuredly I tell you, today you will be with me in Paradise.”
ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܝܫܘܥ ܐܡܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܟ ܕܝܘܡܢܐ ܥܡܝ ܬܗܘܐ ܒܦܪܕܝܤܐ
44 It was now about the sixth hour, and darkness came over the whole land until the ninth hour.
ܐܝܬ ܗܘܝ ܕܝܢ ܐܝܟ ܫܥܐ ܫܬ ܘܗܘܐ ܚܫܘܟܐ ܥܠ ܟܠܗ ܐܪܥܐ ܥܕܡܐ ܠܬܫܥ ܫܥܝܢ
45 The sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was torn in two.
ܘܫܡܫܐ ܚܫܟ ܘܐܨܛܪܝ ܐܦܝ ܬܪܥܐ ܕܗܝܟܠܐ ܡܢ ܡܨܥܬܗ
46 Jesus, crying with a loud voice, said, “Father, into your hands I commit my spirit!” Having said this, he breathed his last.
ܘܩܥܐ ܝܫܘܥ ܒܩܠܐ ܪܡܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܐܒܝ ܒܐܝܕܝܟ ܤܐܡ ܐܢܐ ܪܘܚܝ ܗܕܐ ܐܡܪ ܘܫܠܡ
47 When the centurion saw what was done, he glorified God, saying, “Certainly this was a righteous man.”
ܟܕ ܚܙܐ ܕܝܢ ܩܢܛܪܘܢܐ ܡܕܡ ܕܗܘܐ ܫܒܚ ܠܐܠܗܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܫܪܝܪܐܝܬ ܗܢܐ ܓܒܪܐ ܙܕܝܩܐ ܗܘܐ
48 All the multitudes that came together to see this, when they saw the things that were done, returned home beating their chests.
ܘܟܠܗܘܢ ܟܢܫܐ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܟܢܝܫܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܚܙܬܐ ܗܕܐ ܟܕ ܚܙܘ ܡܕܡ ܕܗܘܐ ܗܦܟܘ ܟܕ ܛܪܦܝܢ ܥܠ ܚܕܝܗܘܢ
49 All his acquaintances and the women who followed with him from Galilee stood at a distance, watching these things.
ܘܩܝܡܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܡܢ ܪܘܚܩܐ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܝܕܘܥܘܗܝ ܕܝܫܘܥ ܘܢܫܐ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܐܬܝ ܗܘܝ ܥܡܗ ܡܢ ܓܠܝܠܐ ܘܚܙܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܗܠܝܢ
50 Behold, there was a man named Joseph, who was a member of the council, a good and righteous man
ܓܒܪܐ ܕܝܢ ܚܕ ܕܫܡܗ ܝܘܤܦ ܒܘܠܘܛܐ ܡܢ ܪܡܬܐ ܡܕܝܢܬܐ ܕܝܗܘܕ ܓܒܪܐ ܗܘܐ ܛܒܐ ܘܙܕܝܩܐ
51 (he had not consented to their counsel and deed), from Arimathaea, a city of the Jews, who was also waiting for God’s Kingdom.
ܗܢܐ ܠܐ ܫܠܡ ܗܘܐ ܠܨܒܝܢܗܘܢ ܘܠܤܘܥܪܢܗܘܢ ܘܡܤܟܐ ܗܘܐ ܠܡܠܟܘܬܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ
52 This man went to Pilate, and asked for Jesus’ body.
ܗܢܐ ܩܪܒ ܠܘܬ ܦܝܠܛܘܤ ܘܫܐܠ ܦܓܪܗ ܕܝܫܘܥ
53 He took it down and wrapped it in a linen cloth, and laid him in a tomb that was cut in stone, where no one had ever been laid.
ܘܐܚܬܗ ܘܟܪܟܗ ܒܚܝܨܐ ܕܟܬܢܐ ܘܤܡܗ ܒܒܝܬ ܩܒܘܪܐ ܢܩܝܪܐ ܗܘ ܕܠܐ ܐܢܫ ܥܕܟܝܠ ܐܬܬܤܝܡ ܗܘܐ ܒܗ
54 It was the day of the Preparation, and the Sabbath was drawing near.
ܘܝܘܡܐ ܥܪܘܒܬܐ ܗܘܬ ܘܫܒܬܐ ܢܓܗܐ ܗܘܬ
55 The women who had come with him out of Galilee followed after, and saw the tomb and how his body was laid.
ܩܪܝܒܢ ܗܘܝ ܕܝܢ ܢܫܐ ܗܠܝܢ ܕܐܬܝ ܥܡܗ ܡܢ ܓܠܝܠܐ ܘܚܙܝܝܗܝ ܠܩܒܪܐ ܘܐܝܟܢܐ ܐܬܬܤܝܡ ܦܓܪܗ
56 They returned and prepared spices and ointments. On the Sabbath they rested according to the commandment.
ܘܗܦܟ ܛܝܒ ܗܪܘܡܐ ܘܒܤܡܐ ܘܒܫܒܬܐ ܫܠܝ ܐܝܟ ܕܦܩܝܕ
