Luke 24

ثُمَّ فِي أَوَّلِ الأُسْبُوعِ، أَوَّلَ الْفَجْرِ، أَتَيْنَ إِلَى الْقَبْرِ حَامِلاَتٍ الْحَنُوطَ الَّذِي أَعْدَدْنَهُ، وَمَعَهُنَّ أُنَاسٌ.

Now upon the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they came unto the sepulchre, bringing the spices which they had prepared, and certain others with them.

فَوَجَدْنَ الْحَجَرَ مُدَحْرَجًا عَنِ الْقَبْرِ،

And they found the stone rolled away from the sepulchre.

فَدَخَلْنَ وَلَمْ يَجِدْنَ جَسَدَ الرَّبِّ يَسُوعَ.

And they entered in, and found not the body of the Lord Jesus.

وَفِيمَا هُنَّ مُحْتَارَاتٌ فِي ذلِكَ، إِذَا رَجُلاَنِ وَقَفَا بِهِنَّ بِثِيَابٍ بَرَّاقَةٍ.

And it came to pass, as they were much perplexed thereabout, behold, two men stood by them in shining garments:

وَإِذْ كُنَّ خَائِفَاتٍ وَمُنَكِّسَاتٍ وُجُوهَهُنَّ إِلَى الأَرْضِ، قَالاَ لَهُنَّ:«لِمَاذَا تَطْلُبْنَ الْحَيَّ بَيْنَ الأَمْوَاتِ؟

And as they were afraid, and bowed down their faces to the earth, they said unto them, Why seek ye the living among the dead?

لَيْسَ هُوَ ههُنَا، لكِنَّهُ قَامَ! اُذْكُرْنَ كَيْفَ كَلَّمَكُنَّ وَهُوَ بَعْدُ فِي الْجَلِيلِ

He is not here, but is risen: remember how he spake unto you when he was yet in Galilee,

قَائِلاً: إِنَّهُ يَنْبَغِي أَنْ يُسَلَّمَ ابْنُ الإِنْسَانِ فِي أَيْدِي أُنَاسٍ خُطَاةٍ، وَيُصْلَبَ، وَفِي الْيَوْمِ الثَّالِثِ يَقُومُ».

Saying, The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again.

فَتَذَكَّرْنَ كَلاَمَهُ،

And they remembered his words,

وَرَجَعْنَ مِنَ الْقَبْرِ، وَأَخْبَرْنَ الأَحَدَ عَشَرَ وَجَمِيعَ الْبَاقِينَ بِهذَا كُلِّهِ.

And returned from the sepulchre, and told all these things unto the eleven, and to all the rest.

وَكَانَتْ مَرْيَمُ الْمَجْدَلِيَّةُ وَيُوَنَّا وَمَرْيَمُ أُمُّ يَعْقُوبَ وَالْبَاقِيَاتُ مَعَهُنَّ، اللَّوَاتِي قُلْنَ هذَا لِلرُّسُلِ.

It was Mary Magdalene, and Joanna, and Mary the mother of James, and other women that were with them, which told these things unto the apostles.

فَتَرَاءَى كَلاَمُهُنَّ لَهُمْ كَالْهَذَيَانِ وَلَمْ يُصَدِّقُوهُنَّ.

And their words seemed to them as idle tales, and they believed them not.

فَقَامَ بُطْرُسُ وَرَكَضَ إِلَى الْقَبْرِ، فَانْحَنَى وَنَظَرَ الأَكْفَانَ مَوْضُوعَةً وَحْدَهَا، فَمَضَى مُتَعَجِّبًا فِي نَفْسِهِ مِمَّا كَانَ.

Then arose Peter, and ran unto the sepulchre; and stooping down, he beheld the linen clothes laid by themselves, and departed, wondering in himself at that which was come to pass.

وَإِذَا اثْنَانِ مِنْهُمْ كَانَا مُنْطَلِقَيْنِ فِي ذلِكَ الْيَوْمِ إِلَى قَرْيَةٍ بَعِيدَةٍ عَنْ أُورُشَلِيمَ سِتِّينَ غَلْوَةً، اسْمُهَا «عِمْوَاسُ».

And, behold, two of them went that same day to a village called Emmaus, which was from Jerusalem about threescore furlongs.

وَكَانَا يَتَكَلَّمَانِ بَعْضُهُمَا مَعَ بَعْضٍ عَنْ جَمِيعِ هذِهِ الْحَوَادِثِ.

And they talked together of all these things which had happened.

وَفِيمَا هُمَا يَتَكَلَّمَانِ وَيَتَحَاوَرَانِ، اقْتَرَبَ إِلَيْهِمَا يَسُوعُ نَفْسُهُ وَكَانَ يَمْشِي مَعَهُمَا.

And it came to pass, that, while they communed together and reasoned, Jesus himself drew near, and went with them.

وَلكِنْ أُمْسِكَتْ أَعْيُنُهُمَا عَنْ مَعْرِفَتِهِ.

But their eyes were holden that they should not know him.

فَقَالَ لَهُمَا:«مَا هذَا الْكَلاَمُ الَّذِي تَتَطَارَحَانِ بِهِ وَأَنْتُمَا مَاشِيَانِ عَابِسَيْنِ؟»

And he said unto them, What manner of communications are these that ye have one to another, as ye walk, and are sad?

فَأَجَابَ أَحَدُهُمَا، الَّذِي اسْمُهُ كَِلْيُوبَاسُ وَقَالَ لَهُ:«هَلْ أَنْتَ مُتَغَرِّبٌ وَحْدَكَ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ وَلَمْ تَعْلَمِ الأُمُورَ الَّتِي حَدَثَتْ فِيهَا فِي هذِهِ الأَيَّامِ؟»

And the one of them, whose name was Cleopas, answering said unto him, Art thou only a stranger in Jerusalem, and hast not known the things which are come to pass there in these days?

فَقَالَ لَهُمَا:«وَمَا هِيَ؟» فَقَالاَ:«الْمُخْتَصَّةُ بِيَسُوعَ النَّاصِرِيِّ، الَّذِي كَانَ إِنْسَانًا نَبِيًّا مُقْتَدِرًا فِي الْفِعْلِ وَالْقَوْلِ أَمَامَ اللهِ وَجَمِيعِ الشَّعْبِ.

And he said unto them, What things? And they said unto him, Concerning Jesus of Nazareth, which was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people:

كَيْفَ أَسْلَمَهُ رُؤَسَاءُ الْكَهَنَةِ وَحُكَّامُنَا لِقَضَاءِ الْمَوْتِ وَصَلَبُوهُ.

And how the chief priests and our rulers delivered him to be condemned to death, and have crucified him.

وَنَحْنُ كُنَّا نَرْجُو أَنَّهُ هُوَ الْمُزْمِعُ أَنْ يَفْدِيَ إِسْرَائِيلَ. وَلكِنْ، مَعَ هذَا كُلِّهِ، الْيَوْمَ لَهُ ثَلاَثَةُ أَيَّامٍ مُنْذُ حَدَثَ ذلِكَ.

But we trusted that it had been he which should have redeemed Israel: and beside all this, to day is the third day since these things were done.

بَلْ بَعْضُ النِّسَاءِ مِنَّا حَيَّرْنَنَا إِذْ كُنَّ بَاكِرًا عِنْدَ الْقَبْرِ،

Yea, and certain women also of our company made us astonished, which were early at the sepulchre;

وَلَمَّا لَمْ يَجِدْنَ جَسَدَهُ أَتَيْنَ قَائِلاَتٍ: إِنَّهُنَّ رَأَيْنَ مَنْظَرَ مَلاَئِكَةٍ قَالُوا إِنَّهُ حَيٌّ.

And when they found not his body, they came, saying, that they had also seen a vision of angels, which said that he was alive.

وَمَضَى قَوْمٌ مِنَ الَّذِينَ مَعَنَا إِلَى الْقَبْرِ، فَوَجَدُوا هكَذَا كَمَا قَالَتْ أَيْضًا النِّسَاءُ، وَأَمَّا هُوَ فَلَمْ يَرَوْهُ».

And certain of them which were with us went to the sepulchre, and found it even so as the women had said: but him they saw not.

فَقَالَ لَهُمَا:«أَيُّهَا الْغَبِيَّانِ وَالْبَطِيئَا الْقُلُوبِ فِي الإِيمَانِ بِجَمِيعِ مَا تَكَلَّمَ بِهِ الأَنْبِيَاءُ!

Then he said unto them, O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken:

أَمَا كَانَ يَنْبَغِي أَنَّ الْمَسِيحَ يَتَأَلَّمُ بِهذَا وَيَدْخُلُ إِلَى مَجْدِهِ؟»

Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into his glory?

ثُمَّ ابْتَدَأَ مِنْ مُوسَى وَمِنْ جَمِيعِ الأَنْبِيَاءِ يُفَسِّرُ لَهُمَا الأُمُورَ الْمُخْتَصَّةَ بِهِ فِي جَمِيعِ الْكُتُبِ.

And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself.

ثُمَّ اقْتَرَبُوا إِلَى الْقَرْيَةِ الَّتِي كَانَا مُنْطَلِقَيْنِ إِلَيْهَا، وَهُوَ تَظَاهَرَ كَأَنَّهُ مُنْطَلِقٌ إِلَى مَكَانٍ أَبْعَدَ.

And they drew nigh unto the village, whither they went: and he made as though he would have gone further.

فَأَلْزَمَاهُ قَائِلَيْنِ:«امْكُثْ مَعَنَا، لأَنَّهُ نَحْوُ الْمَسَاءِ وَقَدْ مَالَ النَّهَارُ». فَدَخَلَ لِيَمْكُثَ مَعَهُمَا.

But they constrained him, saying, Abide with us: for it is toward evening, and the day is far spent. And he went in to tarry with them.

فَلَمَّا اتَّكَأَ مَعَهُمَا، أَخَذَ خُبْزًا وَبَارَكَ وَكَسَّرَ وَنَاوَلَهُمَا،

And it came to pass, as he sat at meat with them, he took bread, and blessed it, and brake, and gave to them.

فَانْفَتَحَتْ أَعْيُنُهُمَا وَعَرَفَاهُ ثُمَّ اخْتَفَى عَنْهُمَا،

And their eyes were opened, and they knew him; and he vanished out of their sight.

فَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمَا لِبَعْضٍ:«أَلَمْ يَكُنْ قَلْبُنَا مُلْتَهِبًا فِينَا إِذْ كَانَ يُكَلِّمُنَا فِي الطَّرِيقِ وَيُوضِحُ لَنَا الْكُتُبَ؟»

And they said one to another, Did not our heart burn within us, while he talked with us by the way, and while he opened to us the scriptures?

فَقَامَا فِي تِلْكَ السَّاعَةِ وَرَجَعَا إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ، وَوَجَدَا الأَحَدَ عَشَرَ مُجْتَمِعِينَ، هُمْ وَالَّذِينَ مَعَهُمْ

And they rose up the same hour, and returned to Jerusalem, and found the eleven gathered together, and them that were with them,

وَهُمْ يَقُولُونَ:«إِنَّ الرَّبَّ قَامَ بِالْحَقِيقَةِ وَظَهَرَ لِسِمْعَانَ!»

Saying, The Lord is risen indeed, and hath appeared to Simon.

وَأَمَّا هُمَا فَكَانَا يُخْبِرَانِ بِمَا حَدَثَ فِي الطَّرِيقِ، وَكَيْفَ عَرَفَاهُ عِنْدَ كَسْرِ الْخُبْزِ.

And they told what things were done in the way, and how he was known of them in breaking of bread.

وَفِيمَا هُمْ يَتَكَلَّمُونَ بِهذَا وَقَفَ يَسُوعُ نَفْسُهُ فِي وَسْطِهِمْ، وَقَالَ لَهُمْ:«سَلاَمٌ لَكُمْ!»

And as they thus spake, Jesus himself stood in the midst of them, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you.

فَجَزِعُوا وَخَافُوا، وَظَنُّوا أَنَّهُمْ نَظَرُوا رُوحًا.

But they were terrified and affrighted, and supposed that they had seen a spirit.

فَقَالَ لَهُمْ:«مَا بَالُكُمْ مُضْطَرِبِينَ، وَلِمَاذَا تَخْطُرُ أَفْكَارٌ فِي قُلُوبِكُمْ؟

And he said unto them, Why are ye troubled? and why do thoughts arise in your hearts?

اُنْظُرُوا يَدَيَّ وَرِجْلَيَّ: إِنِّي أَنَا هُوَ! جُسُّونِي وَانْظُرُوا، فَإِنَّ الرُّوحَ لَيْسَ لَهُ لَحْمٌ وَعِظَامٌ كَمَا تَرَوْنَ لِي».

Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have.

وَحِينَ قَالَ هذَا أَرَاهُمْ يَدَيْهِ وَرِجْلَيْهِ.

And when he had thus spoken, he shewed them his hands and his feet.

وَبَيْنَمَا هُمْ غَيْرُ مُصَدِّقِين مِنَ الْفَرَحِ، وَمُتَعَجِّبُونَ، قَالَ لَهُمْ:«أَعِنْدَكُمْ ههُنَا طَعَامٌ؟»

And while they yet believed not for joy, and wondered, he said unto them, Have ye here any meat?

فَنَاوَلُوهُ جُزْءًا مِنْ سَمَكٍ مَشْوِيٍّ، وَشَيْئًا مِنْ شَهْدِ عَسَل.

And they gave him a piece of a broiled fish, and of an honeycomb.

فَأَخَذَ وَأَكَلَ قُدَّامَهُمْ.

And he took it, and did eat before them.

وَقَالَ لَهُمْ:«هذَا هُوَ الْكَلاَمُ الَّذِي كَلَّمْتُكُمْ بِهِ وَأَنَا بَعْدُ مَعَكُمْ: أَنَّهُ لاَ بُدَّ أَنْ يَتِمَّ جَمِيعُ مَا هُوَ مَكْتُوبٌ عَنِّي فِي نَامُوسِ مُوسَى وَالأَنْبِيَاءِ وَالْمَزَامِيرِ».

And he said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me.

حِينَئِذٍ فَتَحَ ذِهْنَهُمْ لِيَفْهَمُوا الْكُتُبَ.

Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures,

وَقَالَ لَهُمْ:«هكَذَا هُوَ مَكْتُوبٌ، وَهكَذَا كَانَ يَنْبَغِي أَنَّ الْمَسِيحَ يَتَأَلَّمُ وَيَقُومُ مِنَ الأَمْوَاتِ فِي الْيَوْمِ الثَّالِثِ،

And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day:

وَأَنْ يُكْرَزَ بِاسْمِهِ بِالتَّوْبَةِ وَمَغْفِرَةِ الْخَطَايَا لِجَمِيعِ الأُمَمِ، مُبْتَدَأً مِنْ أُورُشَلِيمَ.

And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.

وَأَنْتُمْ شُهُودٌ لِذلِكَ.

And ye are witnesses of these things.

وَهَا أَنَا أُرْسِلُ إِلَيْكُمْ مَوْعِدَ أَبِي. فَأَقِيمُوا فِي مَدِينَةِ أُورُشَلِيمَ إِلَى أَنْ تُلْبَسُوا قُوَّةً مِنَ الأَعَالِي».

And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high.

وَأَخْرَجَهُمْ خَارِجًا إِلَى بَيْتِ عَنْيَا، وَرَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ وَبَارَكَهُمْ.

And he led them out as far as to Bethany, and he lifted up his hands, and blessed them.

وَفِيمَا هُوَ يُبَارِكُهُمُ، انْفَرَدَ عَنْهُمْ وَأُصْعِدَ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ.

And it came to pass, while he blessed them, he was parted from them, and carried up into heaven.

فَسَجَدُوا لَهُ وَرَجَعُوا إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ بِفَرَحٍ عَظِيمٍ،

And they worshipped him, and returned to Jerusalem with great joy:

وَكَانُوا كُلَّ حِينٍ فِي الْهَيْكَلِ يُسَبِّحُونَ وَيُبَارِكُونَ اللهَ. آمِينَ.

And were continually in the temple, praising and blessing God. Amen.
