Luke 23 (AVD) · Opened

1فَقَامَ كُلُّ جُمْهُورِهِمْ وَجَاءُوا بِهِ إِلَى بِيلَاطُسَ،Then the whole council rose and led Jesus away to Pilate.

2وَٱبْتَدَأُوا يَشْتَكُونَ عَلَيْهِ قَائِلِينَ: «إِنَّنَا وَجَدْنَا هَذَا يُفْسِدُ ٱلْأُمَّةَ، وَيَمْنَعُ أَنْ تُعْطَى جِزْيَةٌ لِقَيْصَرَ، قَائِلًا: إِنَّهُ هُوَ مَسِيحٌ مَلِكٌ».And they began to accuse Him, saying, “We found this man subverting our nation, forbidding payment of taxes to Caesar, and proclaiming Himself to be Christ, a King.”

3فَسَأَلَهُ بِيلَاطُسُ قَائِلًا: «أَنْتَ مَلِكُ ٱلْيَهُودِ؟». فَأَجَابَهُ وَقَالَ: «أَنْتَ تَقُولُ».So Pilate asked Him, “Are You the King of the Jews?” “You have said so,” Jesus replied.

4فَقَالَ بِيلَاطُسُ لِرُؤَسَاءِ ٱلْكَهَنَةِ وَٱلْجُمُوعِ: «إِنِّي لَا أَجِدُ عِلَّةً فِي هَذَا ٱلْإِنْسَانِ».Then Pilate said to the chief priests and the crowds, “I find no basis for a charge against this man.”

5فَكَانُوا يُشَدِّدُونَ قَائِلِينَ: «إِنَّهُ يُهَيِّجُ ٱلشَّعْبَ وَهُوَ يُعَلِّمُ فِي كُلِّ ٱلْيَهُودِيَّةِ مُبْتَدِئًا مِنَ ٱلْجَلِيلِ إِلَى هُنَا».But they kept insisting, “He stirs up the people all over Judea with His teaching. He began in Galilee and has come all the way here.”

6فَلَمَّا سَمِعَ بِيلَاطُسُ ذِكْرَ ٱلْجَلِيلِ، سَأَلَ: «هَلِ ٱلرَّجُلُ جَلِيلِيٌّ؟»When Pilate heard this, he asked if the man was a Galilean.

7وَحِينَ عَلِمَ أَنَّهُ مِنْ سَلْطَنَةِ هِيرُودُسَ، أَرْسَلَهُ إِلَى هِيرُودُسَ، إِذْ كَانَ هُوَ أَيْضًا تِلْكَ ٱلْأَيَّامَ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ.And learning that Jesus was under Herod’s jurisdiction, he sent Him to Herod, who himself was in Jerusalem at that time.

8وَأَمَّا هِيرُودُسُ فَلَمَّا رَأَى يَسُوعَ فَرِحَ جِدًّا، لِأَنَّهُ كَانَ يُرِيدُ مِنْ زَمَانٍ طَوِيلٍ أَنْ يَرَاهُ، لِسَمَاعِهِ عَنْهُ أَشْيَاءَ كَثِيرَةً، وَتَرَجَّى أَنْ يَرَي آيَةً تُصْنَعُ مِنْهُ.When Herod saw Jesus, he was greatly pleased. He had wanted to see Him for a long time, because he had heard about Him and was hoping to see Him perform a miracle.

9وَسَأَلَهُ بِكَلَامٍ كَثِيرٍ فَلَمْ يُجِبْهُ بِشَيْءٍ.Herod questioned Jesus at great length, but He gave no answer.

10وَوَقَفَ رُؤَسَاءُ ٱلْكَهَنَةِ وَٱلْكَتَبَةُ يَشْتَكُونَ عَلَيْهِ بِٱشْتِدَادٍ،Meanwhile, the chief priests and scribes stood there, vehemently accusing Him.

11فَٱحْتَقَرَهُ هِيرُودُسُ مَعَ عَسْكَرِهِ وَٱسْتَهْزَأَ بِهِ، وَأَلْبَسَهُ لِبَاسًا لَامِعًا، وَرَدَّهُ إِلَى بِيلَاطُسَ.And even Herod and his soldiers ridiculed and mocked Him. Dressing Him in a fine robe, they sent Him back to Pilate.

12فَصَارَ بِيلَاطُسُ وَهِيرُودُسُ صَدِيقَيْنِ مَعَ بَعْضِهِمَا فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ، لِأَنَّهُمَا كَانَا مِنْ قَبْلُ فِي عَدَاوَةٍ بَيْنَهُمَا.That day Herod and Pilate became friends; before this time they had been enemies.

13فَدَعَا بِيلَاطُسُ رُؤَسَاءَ ٱلْكَهَنَةِ وَٱلْعُظَمَاءَ وَٱلشَّعْبَ،Then Pilate called together the chief priests, the rulers, and the people,

14وَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «قَدْ قَدَّمْتُمْ إِلَيَّ هَذَا ٱلْإِنْسَانَ كَمَنْ يُفْسِدُ ٱلشَّعْبَ. وَهَا أَنَا قَدْ فَحَصْتُ قُدَّامَكُمْ وَلَمْ أَجِدْ فِي هَذَا ٱلْإِنْسَانِ عِلَّةً مِمَّا تَشْتَكُونَ بِهِ عَلَيْهِ.and said to them, “You brought me this man as one who was inciting the people to rebellion. I have examined Him here in your presence and found Him not guilty of your charges against Him.

15وَلَا هِيرُودُسُ أَيْضًا، لِأَنِّي أَرْسَلْتُكُمْ إِلَيْهِ. وَهَا لَا شَيْءَ يَسْتَحِقُّ ٱلْمَوْتَ صُنِعَ مِنْهُ.Neither has Herod, for he sent Him back to us. As you can see, He has done nothing deserving of death.

16فَأَنَا أُؤَدِّبُهُ وَأُطْلِقُهُ».Therefore I will punish Him and release Him.”

17وَكَانَ مُضْطَرًّا أَنْ يُطْلِقَ لَهُمْ كُلَّ عِيدٍ وَاحِدًا،Not in the BSB

18فَصَرَخُوا بِجُمْلَتِهِمْ قَائِلِينَ: «خُذْ هَذَا! وَأَطْلِقْ لَنَا بَارَابَاسَ!».But they all cried out in unison: “Away with this man! Release Barabbas to us!”

19وَذَاكَ كَانَ قَدْ طُرِحَ فِي ٱلسِّجْنِ لِأَجْلِ فِتْنَةٍ حَدَثَتْ فِي ٱلْمَدِينَةِ وَقَتْلٍ.(Barabbas had been imprisoned for an insurrection in the city, and for murder.)

20فَنَادَاهُمْ أَيْضًا بِيلَاطُسُ وَهُوَ يُرِيدُ أَنْ يُطْلِقَ يَسُوعَ،Wanting to release Jesus, Pilate addressed them again,

21فَصَرَخُوا قَائِلِينَ: «ٱصْلِبْهُ! ٱصْلِبْهُ!».but they kept shouting, “Crucify Him! Crucify Him!”

22فَقَالَ لَهُمْ ثَالِثَةً: «فَأَيَّ شَرٍّ عَمِلَ هَذَا؟ إِنِّي لَمْ أَجِدْ فِيهِ عِلَّةً لِلْمَوْتِ، فَأَنَا أُؤَدِّبُهُ وَأُطْلِقُهُ».A third time he said to them, “What evil has this man done? I have found in Him no offense worthy of death. So after I punish Him, I will release Him.”

23فَكَانُوا يَلِجُّونَ بِأَصْوَاتٍ عَظِيمَةٍ طَالِبِينَ أَنْ يُصْلَبَ. فَقَوِيَتْ أَصْوَاتُهُمْ وَأَصْوَاتُ رُؤَسَاءِ ٱلْكَهَنَةِ.But they were insistent, demanding with loud voices for Jesus to be crucified. And their clamor prevailed.

24فَحَكَمَ بِيلَاطُسُ أَنْ تَكُونَ طِلْبَتُهُمْ.So Pilate sentenced that their demand be met.

25فَأَطْلَقَ لَهُمُ ٱلَّذِي طُرِحَ فِي ٱلسِّجْنِ لِأَجْلِ فِتْنَةٍ وَقَتْلٍ، ٱلَّذِي طَلَبُوهُ، وَأَسْلَمَ يَسُوعَ لِمَشِيئَتِهِمْ.As they had requested, he released the one imprisoned for insurrection and murder, and he handed Jesus over to their will.

26وَلَمَّا مَضَوْا بِهِ أَمْسَكُوا سِمْعَانَ، رَجُلًا قَيْرَوَانِيًّا كَانَ آتِيًا مِنَ ٱلْحَقْلِ، وَوَضَعُوا عَلَيْهِ ٱلصَّلِيبَ لِيَحْمِلَهُ خَلْفَ يَسُوعَ.As the soldiers led Him away, they seized Simon of Cyrene on his way in from the country, and they put the cross on him to carry behind Jesus.

27وَتَبِعَهُ جُمْهُورٌ كَثِيرٌ مِنَ ٱلشَّعْبِ، وَٱلنِّسَاءِ ٱللَّوَاتِي كُنَّ يَلْطِمْنَ أَيْضًا وَيَنُحْنَ عَلَيْهِ.A great number of people followed Him, including women who kept mourning and wailing for Him.

28فَٱلْتَفَتَ إِلَيْهِنَّ يَسُوعُ وَقَالَ: «يَا بَنَاتِ أُورُشَلِيمَ، لَا تَبْكِينَ عَلَيَّ بَلِ ٱبْكِينَ عَلَى أَنْفُسِكُنَّ وَعَلَى أَوْلَادِكُنَّ،But Jesus turned to them and said, “Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for Me, but weep for yourselves and for your children.

29لِأَنَّهُ هُوَذَا أَيَّامٌ تَأْتِي يَقُولُونَ فِيهَا: طُوبَى لِلْعَوَاقِرِ وَٱلْبُطُونِ ٱلَّتِي لَمْ تَلِدْ وَٱلثُّدِيِّ ٱلَّتِي لَمْ تُرْضِعْ!Look, the days are coming when people will say, ‘Blessed are the barren women, the wombs that never bore, and breasts that never nursed!’

30حِينَئِذٍ يَبْتَدِئُونَ يَقُولُونَ لِلْجِبَالِ: ٱسْقُطِي عَلَيْنَا! وَلِلْآكَامِ: غَطِّينَا!At that time ‘they will say to the mountains, “Fall on us!” and to the hills, “Cover us!”’

31لِأَنَّهُ إِنْ كَانُوا بِٱلْعُودِ ٱلرَّطْبِ يَفْعَلُونَ هَذَا، فَمَاذَا يَكُونُ بِٱلْيَابِسِ؟».For if men do these things while the tree is green, what will happen when it is dry?”

32وَجَاءُوا أَيْضًا بِٱثْنَيْنِ آخَرَيْنِ مُذْنِبَيْنِ لِيُقْتَلَا مَعَهُ.Two others, who were criminals, were also led away to be executed with Jesus.

33وَلَمَّا مَضَوْا بِهِ إِلَى ٱلْمَوْضِعِ ٱلَّذِي يُدْعَى «جُمْجُمَةَ» صَلَبُوهُ هُنَاكَ مَعَ ٱلْمُذْنِبَيْنِ، وَاحِدًا عَنْ يَمِينِهِ وَٱلْآخَرَ عَنْ يَسَارِهِ.When they came to the place called The Skull, they crucified Him there, along with the criminals, one on His right and the other on His left.

34فَقَالَ يَسُوعُ: «يَا أَبَتَاهُ، ٱغْفِرْ لَهُمْ، لِأَنَّهُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ مَاذَا يَفْعَلُونَ». وَإِذِ ٱقْتَسَمُوا ثِيَابَهُ ٱقْتَرَعُوا عَلَيْهَا.Then Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.” And they divided up His garments by casting lots.

35وَكَانَ ٱلشَّعْبُ وَاقِفِينَ يَنْظُرُونَ، وَٱلرُّؤَسَاءُ أَيْضًا مَعَهُمْ يَسْخَرُونَ بِهِ قَائِلِينَ: «خَلَّصَ آخَرِينَ، فَلْيُخَلِّصْ نَفْسَهُ إِنْ كَانَ هُوَ ٱلْمَسِيحَ مُخْتَارَ ٱللهِ!».The people stood watching, and the rulers sneered at Him, saying, “He saved others; let Him save Himself if He is the Christ of God, the Chosen One.”

36وَٱلْجُنْدُ أَيْضًا ٱسْتَهْزَأُوا بِهِ وَهُمْ يَأْتُونَ وَيُقَدِّمُونَ لَهُ خَلًّا،The soldiers also mocked Him and came up to offer Him sour wine.

37قَائِلِينَ: «إِنْ كُنْتَ أَنْتَ مَلِكَ ٱلْيَهُودِ فَخَلِّصْ نَفْسَكَ!».“If You are the King of the Jews,” they said, “save Yourself!”

38وَكَانَ عُنْوَانٌ مَكْتُوبٌ فَوْقَهُ بِأَحْرُفٍ يُونَانِيَّةٍ وَرُومَانِيَّةٍ وَعِبْرَانِيَّةٍ: «هَذَا هُوَ مَلِكُ ٱلْيَهُودِ».Above Him was posted an inscription: THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.

39وَكَانَ وَاحِدٌ مِنَ ٱلْمُذْنِبَيْنِ ٱلْمُعَلَّقَيْنِ يُجَدِّفُ عَلَيْهِ قَائِلًا: «إِنْ كُنْتَ أَنْتَ ٱلْمَسِيحَ، فَخَلِّصْ نَفْسَكَ وَإِيَّانَا!».One of the criminals who hung there heaped abuse on Him. “Are You not the Christ?” he said. “Save Yourself and us!”

40فَأجَابَ ٱلْآخَرُ وَٱنْتَهَرَهُ قَائِلًا: «أَوَلَا أَنْتَ تَخَافُ ٱللهَ، إِذْ أَنْتَ تَحْتَ هَذَا ٱلْحُكْمِ بِعَيْنِهِ؟But the other one rebuked him, saying, “Do you not even fear God, since you are under the same judgment?

41أَمَّا نَحْنُ فَبِعَدْلٍ، لِأَنَّنَا نَنَالُ ٱسْتِحْقَاقَ مَا فَعَلْنَا، وَأَمَّا هَذَا فَلَمْ يَفْعَلْ شَيْئًا لَيْسَ فِي مَحَلِّهِ».We are punished justly, for we are receiving what our actions deserve. But this man has done nothing wrong.”

42ثُمَّ قَالَ لِيَسُوعَ: «ٱذْكُرْنِي يَارَبُّ مَتَى جِئْتَ فِي مَلَكُوتِكَ».Then he said, “Jesus, remember me when You come into Your kingdom!”

43فَقَالَ لَهُ يَسُوعُ: «ٱلْحَقَّ أَقُولُ لَكَ: إِنَّكَ ٱلْيَوْمَ تَكُونُ مَعِي فِي ٱلْفِرْدَوْسِ».And Jesus said to him, “Truly I tell you, today you will be with Me in Paradise.”

44وَكَانَ نَحْوُ ٱلسَّاعَةِ ٱلسَّادِسَةِ، فَكَانَتْ ظُلْمَةٌ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ كُلِّهَا إِلَى ٱلسَّاعَةِ ٱلتَّاسِعَةِ.It was now about the sixth hour, and darkness came over all the land until the ninth hour.

45وَأَظْلَمَتِ ٱلشَّمْسُ، وَٱنْشَقَّ حِجَابُ ٱلْهَيْكَلِ مِنْ وَسْطِهِ.The sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was torn down the middle.

46وَنَادَى يَسُوعُ بِصَوْتٍ عَظِيمٍ وَقَالَ: «يَا أَبَتَاهُ، فِي يَدَيْكَ أَسْتَوْدِعُ رُوحِي». وَلَمَّا قَالَ هَذَا أَسْلَمَ ٱلرُّوحَ.Then Jesus called out in a loud voice, “Father, into Your hands I commit My Spirit.” And when He had said this, He breathed His last.

47فَلَمَّا رَأَى قَائِدُ ٱلْمِئَةِ مَا كَانَ، مَجَّدَ ٱللهَ قَائِلًا: «بِٱلْحَقِيقَةِ كَانَ هَذَا ٱلْإِنْسَانُ بَارًّا!».When the centurion saw what had happened, he gave glory to God, saying, “Surely this was a righteous man.”

48وَكُلُّ ٱلْجُمُوعِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَانُوا مُجْتَمِعِينَ لِهَذَا ٱلْمَنْظَرِ، لَمَّا أَبْصَرُوا مَا كَانَ، رَجَعُوا وَهُمْ يَقْرَعُونَ صُدُورَهُمْ.And when all the people who had gathered for this spectacle saw what had happened, they returned home beating their breasts.

49وَكَانَ جَمِيعُ مَعَارِفِهِ، وَنِسَاءٌ كُنَّ قَدْ تَبِعْنَهُ مِنَ ٱلْجَلِيلِ، وَاقِفِينَ مِنْ بَعِيدٍ يَنْظُرُونَ ذَلِكَ.But all those who knew Jesus, including the women who had followed Him from Galilee, stood at a distance watching these things.

50وَإِذَا رَجُلٌ ٱسْمُهُ يُوسُفُ، وَكَانَ مُشِيرًا وَرَجُلًا صَالِحًا بَارًّا.Now there was a Council member named Joseph, a good and righteous man,

51هَذَا لَمْ يَكُنْ مُوافِقًا لِرَأْيِهِمْ وَعَمَلِهِمْ، وَهُوَ مِنَ ٱلرَّامَةِ مَدِينَةٍ لِلْيَهُودِ. وَكَانَ هُوَ أَيْضًا يَنْتَظِرُ مَلَكُوتَ ٱللهِ.who had not consented to their decision or action. He was from the Judean town of Arimathea and was waiting for the kingdom of God.

52هَذَا تَقَدَّمَ إِلَى بِيلَاطُسَ وَطَلَبَ جَسَدَ يَسُوعَ،He went to Pilate to ask for the body of Jesus.

53وَأَنْزَلَهُ، وَلَفَّهُ بِكَتَّانٍ، وَوَضَعَهُ فِي قَبْرٍ مَنْحُوتٍ حَيْثُ لَمْ يَكُنْ أَحَدٌ وُضِعَ قَطُّ.Then he took it down, wrapped it in a linen cloth, and placed it in a tomb cut into the rock, where no one had yet been laid.

54وَكَانَ يَوْمُ ٱلِٱسْتِعْدَادِ وَٱلسَّبْتُ يَلُوحُ.It was Preparation Day, and the Sabbath was beginning.

55وَتَبِعَتْهُ نِسَاءٌ كُنَّ قَدْ أَتَيْنَ مَعَهُ مِنَ ٱلْجَلِيلِ، وَنَظَرْنَ ٱلْقَبْرَ وَكَيْفَ وُضِعَ جَسَدُهُ.The women who had come with Jesus from Galilee followed, and they saw the tomb and how His body was placed.

56فَرَجَعْنَ وَأَعْدَدْنَ حَنُوطًا وَأَطْيَابًا. وَفِي ٱلسَّبْتِ ٱسْتَرَحْنَ حَسَبَ ٱلْوَصِيَّةِ.Then they returned to prepare spices and perfumes. And they rested on the Sabbath, according to the commandment.
