Matthew 26

And it came to pass, when Jesus had finished all these sayings, he said unto his disciples,

وَلَمَّا أَكْمَلَ يَسُوعُ هذِهِ الأَقْوَالَ كُلَّهَا قَالَ لِتَلاَمِيذِهِ:

Ye know that after two days is the feast of the passover, and the Son of man is betrayed to be crucified.

«تَعْلَمُونَ أَنَّهُ بَعْدَ يَوْمَيْنِ يَكُونُ الْفِصْحُ، وَابْنُ الإِنْسَانِ يُسَلَّمُ لِيُصْلَبَ».

Then assembled together the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders of the people, unto the palace of the high priest, who was called Caiaphas,

حِينَئِذٍ اجْتَمَعَ رُؤَسَاءُ الْكَهَنَةِ وَالْكَتَبَةُ وَشُيُوخُ الشَّعْب إِلَى دَارِ رَئِيسِ الْكَهَنَةِ الَّذِي يُدْعَى قَيَافَا،

And consulted that they might take Jesus by subtilty, and kill him.

وَتَشَاوَرُوا لِكَيْ يُمْسِكُوا يَسُوعَ بِمَكْرٍ وَيَقْتُلُوهُ.

But they said, Not on the feast day, lest there be an uproar among the people.

وَلكِنَّهُمْ قَالُوا:«لَيْسَ فِي الْعِيدِ لِئَلاَّ يَكُونَ شَغَبٌ فِي الشَّعْبِ».

Now when Jesus was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper,

وَفِيمَا كَانَ يَسُوعُ فِي بَيْتِ عَنْيَا فِي بَيْتِ سِمْعَانَ الأَبْرَصِ،

There came unto him a woman having an alabaster box of very precious ointment, and poured it on his head, as he sat at meat.

تَقَدَّمَتْ إِلَيْهِ امْرَأَةٌ مَعَهَا قَارُورَةُ طِيبE كَثِيرِ الثَّمَنِ، فَسَكَبَتْهُ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ وَهُوَ مُتَّكِئٌ.

But when his disciples saw it, they had indignation, saying, To what purpose is this waste?

فَلَمَّا رَأَى تَلاَمِيذُهُ ذلِكَ اغْتَاظُوا قَائِلِينَ:«لِمَاذَا هذَا الإِتْلاَفُ؟

For this ointment might have been sold for much, and given to the poor.

لأَنَّهُ كَانَ يُمْكِنُ أَنْ يُبَاعَ هذَا الطِّيبُ بِكَثِيرٍ وَيُعْطَى لِلْفُقَرَاءِ».

When Jesus understood it, he said unto them, Why trouble ye the woman? for she hath wrought a good work upon me.

فَعَلِمَ يَسُوعُ وَقَالَ لَهُمْ:«لِمَاذَا تُزْعِجُونَ الْمَرْأَةَ؟ فَإِنَّهَا قَدْ عَمِلَتْ بِي عَمَلاً حَسَنًا!

For ye have the poor always with you; but me ye have not always.

لأَنَّ الْفُقَرَاءَ مَعَكُمْ فِي كُلِّ حِينٍ، وَأَمَّا أَنَا فَلَسْتُ مَعَكُمْ فِي كُلِّ حِينٍ.

For in that she hath poured this ointment on my body, she did it for my burial.

فَإِنَّهَا إِذْ سَكَبَتْ هذَا الطِّيبَ عَلَى جَسَدِي إِنَّمَا فَعَلَتْ ذلِكَ لأَجْلِ تَكْفِينِي.

Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached in the whole world, there shall also this, that this woman hath done, be told for a memorial of her.

اَلْحَقَّ أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: حَيْثُمَا يُكْرَزْ بِهذَا الإِنْجِيلِ فِي كُلِّ الْعَالَمِ، يُخْبَرْ أَيْضًا بِمَا فَعَلَتْهُ هذِهِ تَذْكَارًا لَهَا».

Then one of the twelve, called Judas Iscariot, went unto the chief priests,

حِينَئِذٍ ذَهَبَ وَاحِدٌ مِنَ الاثْنَيْ عَشَرَ، الَّذِي يُدْعَى يَهُوذَا الإِسْخَرْيُوطِيَّ، إِلَى رُؤَسَاءِ الْكَهَنَةِ

And said unto them, What will ye give me, and I will deliver him unto you? And they covenanted with him for thirty pieces of silver.

وَقَالَ:«مَاذَا تُرِيدُونَ أَنْ تُعْطُوني وَأَنَا أُسَلِّمُهُ إِلَيْكُمْ؟» فَجَعَلُوا لَهُ ثَلاَثِينَ مِنَ الْفِضَّةِ.

And from that time he sought opportunity to betray him.

وَمِنْ ذلِكَ الْوَقْتِ كَانَ يَطْلُبُ فُرْصَةً لِيُسَلِّمَهُ.

Now the first day of the feast of unleavened bread the disciples came to Jesus, saying unto him, Where wilt thou that we prepare for thee to eat the passover?

وَفِي أَوَّلِ أَيَّامِ الْفَطِيرِ تَقَدَّمَ التَّلاَمِيذُ إِلَى يَسُوعَ قَائِلِينَ لَهُ:«أَيْنَ تُرِيدُ أَنْ نُعِدَّ لَكَ لِتَأْكُلَ الْفِصْحَ؟»

And he said, Go into the city to such a man, and say unto him, The Master saith, My time is at hand; I will keep the passover at thy house with my disciples.

فَقَالَ:«اذْهَبُوا إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ، إِلَى فُلاَنٍ وَقُولُوا لَهُ: الْمُعَلِّمُ يَقُولُ: إِنَّ وَقْتِي قَرِيبٌ. عِنْدَكَ أَصْنَعُ الْفِصْحَ مَعَ تَلاَمِيذِي».

And the disciples did as Jesus had appointed them; and they made ready the passover.

فَفَعَلَ التَّلاَمِيذُ كَمَا أَمَرَهُمْ يَسُوعُ وَأَعَدُّوا الْفِصْحَ.

Now when the even was come, he sat down with the twelve.

وَلَمَّا كَانَ الْمَسَاءُ اتَّكَأَ مَعَ الاثْنَيْ عَشَرَ.

And as they did eat, he said, Verily I say unto you, that one of you shall betray me.

وَفِيمَا هُمْ يَأْكُلُونَ قَالَ:«الْحَقَّ أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: إِنَّ وَاحِدًا مِنْكُمْ يُسَلِّمُنِي».

And they were exceeding sorrowful, and began every one of them to say unto him, Lord, is it I?

فَحَزِنُوا جِدًّا، وَابْتَدَأَ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمْ يَقُولُ لَهُ:«هَلْ أَنَا هُوَ يَارَبُّ؟»

And he answered and said, He that dippeth his hand with me in the dish, the same shall betray me.

فَأَجَابَ وَقَالَ: «الَّذِي يَغْمِسُ يَدَهُ مَعِي فِي الصَّحْفَةِ هُوَ يُسَلِّمُنِي!

The Son of man goeth as it is written of him: but woe unto that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! it had been good for that man if he had not been born.

إِنَّ ابْنَ الإِنْسَانِ مَاضٍ كَمَا هُوَ مَكْتُوبٌ عَنْهُ، وَلكِنْ وَيْلٌ لِذلِكَ الرَّجُلِ الَّذِي بِهِ يُسَلَّمُ ابْنُ الإِنْسَانِ. كَانَ خَيْرًا لِذلِكَ الرَّجُلِ لَوْ لَمْ يُولَدْ!».

Then Judas, which betrayed him, answered and said, Master, is it I? He said unto him, Thou hast said.

فَأَجَابَ يَهُوذَا مُسَلِّمُهُ وَقَالَ:«هَلْ أَنَا هُوَ يَا سَيِّدِي؟» قَالَ لَهُ:«أَنْتَ قُلْتَ».

And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to the disciples, and said, Take, eat; this is my body.

وَفِيمَا هُمْ يَأْكُلُونَ أَخَذَ يَسُوعُ الْخُبْزَ، وَبَارَكَ وَكَسَّرَ وَأَعْطَى التَّلاَمِيذَ وَقَالَ:«خُذُوا كُلُوا. هذَا هُوَ جَسَدِي».

And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of it;

وَأَخَذَ الْكَأْسَ وَشَكَرَ وَأَعْطَاهُمْ قَائِلاً:«اشْرَبُوا مِنْهَا كُلُّكُمْ،

For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.

لأَنَّ هذَا هُوَ دَمِي الَّذِي لِلْعَهْدِ الْجَدِيدِ الَّذِي يُسْفَكُ مِنْ أَجْلِ كَثِيرِينَ لِمَغْفِرَةِ الْخَطَايَا.

But I say unto you, I will not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father's kingdom.

وَأَقُولُ لَكُمْ: إِنِّي مِنَ الآنَ لاَ أَشْرَبُ مِنْ نِتَاجِ الْكَرْمَةِ هذَا إِلَى ذلِكَ الْيَوْمِ حِينَمَا أَشْرَبُهُ مَعَكُمْ جَدِيدًا فِي مَلَكُوتِ أَبِي».

And when they had sung an hymn, they went out into the mount of Olives.

ثُمَّ سَبَّحُوا وَخَرَجُوا إِلَى جَبَلِ الزَّيْتُونِ.

Then saith Jesus unto them, All ye shall be offended because of me this night: for it is written, I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock shall be scattered abroad.

حِينَئِذٍ قَالَ لَهُمْ يَسُوعُ:«كُلُّكُمْ تَشُكُّونَ فِىَّ فِي هذِهِ اللَّيْلَةِ، لأَنَّهُ مَكْتُوبٌ: أَنِّي أَضْرِبُ الرَّاعِيَ فَتَتَبَدَّدُ خِرَافُ الرَّعِيَّةِ.

But after I am risen again, I will go before you into Galilee.

وَلكِنْ بَعْدَ قِيَامِي أَسْبِقُكُمْ إِلَى الْجَلِيلِ».

Peter answered and said unto him, Though all men shall be offended because of thee, yet will I never be offended.

فَأَجَابَ بُطْرُسُ وَقَالَ لَهُ:«وَإِنْ شَكَّ فِيكَ الْجَمِيعُ فَأَنَا لاَ أَشُكُّ أَبَدًا».

Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, That this night, before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice.

قَالَ لَهُ يَسُوعُ:«الْحَقَّ أَقُولُ لَكَ: إِنَّكَ فِي هذِهِ اللَّيْلَةِ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَصِيحَ دِيكٌ تُنْكِرُني ثَلاَثَ مَرَّاتٍ».

Peter said unto him, Though I should die with thee, yet will I not deny thee. Likewise also said all the disciples.

قَالَ لَهُ بُطْرُسُ:«وَلَوِ اضْطُرِرْتُ أَنْ أَمُوتَ مَعَكَ لاَ أُنْكِرُكَ!» هكَذَا قَالَ أَيْضًا جَمِيعُ التَّلاَمِيذِ.

Then cometh Jesus with them unto a place called Gethsemane, and saith unto the disciples, Sit ye here, while I go and pray yonder.

حِينَئِذٍ جَاءَ مَعَهُمْ يَسُوعُ إِلَى ضَيْعَةٍ يُقَالُ لَهَا جَثْسَيْمَانِي، فَقَالَ لِلتَّلاَمِيذِ:«اجْلِسُوا ههُنَا حَتَّى أَمْضِيَ وَأُصَلِّيَ هُنَاكَ».

And he took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to be sorrowful and very heavy.

ثُمَّ أَخَذَ مَعَهُ بُطْرُسَ وَابْنَيْ زَبْدِي، وَابْتَدَأَ يَحْزَنُ وَيَكْتَئِبُ.

Then saith he unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death: tarry ye here, and watch with me.

فَقَالَ لَهُمْ:«نَفْسِي حَزِينَةٌ جِدًّا حَتَّى الْمَوْتِ. اُمْكُثُوا ههُنَا وَاسْهَرُوا مَعِي».

And he went a little further, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt.

ثُمَّ تَقَدَّمَ قَلِيلاً وَخَرَّ عَلَى وَجْهِهِ، وَكَانَ يُصَلِّي قَائِلاً:«يَا أَبَتَاهُ، إِنْ أَمْكَنَ فَلْتَعْبُرْ عَنِّي هذِهِ الْكَأْسُ، وَلكِنْ لَيْسَ كَمَا أُرِيدُ أَنَا بَلْ كَمَا تُرِيدُ أَنْتَ».

And he cometh unto the disciples, and findeth them asleep, and saith unto Peter, What, could ye not watch with me one hour?

ثُمَّ جَاءَ إِلَى التَّلاَمِيذِ فَوَجَدَهُمْ نِيَامًا، فَقَالَ لِبُطْرُسَ: «أَهكَذَا مَا قَدَرْتُمْ أَنْ تَسْهَرُوا مَعِي سَاعَةً وَاحِدَةً؟

Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.

اِسْهَرُوا وَصَلُّوا لِئَلاَّ تَدْخُلُوا فِي تَجْرِبَةٍ. أَمَّا الرُّوحُ فَنَشِيطٌ وَأَمَّا الْجَسَدُ فَضَعِيفٌ».

He went away again the second time, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if this cup may not pass away from me, except I drink it, thy will be done.

فَمَضَى أَيْضًا ثَانِيَةً وَصَلَّى قَائِلاً:«يَا أَبَتَاهُ، إِنْ لَمْ يُمْكِنْ أَنْ تَعْبُرَ عَنِّي هذِهِ الْكَأْسُ إِلاَّ أَنْ أَشْرَبَهَا، فَلْتَكُنْ مَشِيئَتُكَ».

And he came and found them asleep again: for their eyes were heavy.

ثُمَّ جَاءَ فَوَجَدَهُمْ أَيْضًا نِيَامًا، إِذْ كَانَتْ أَعْيُنُهُمْ ثَقِيلَةً.

And he left them, and went away again, and prayed the third time, saying the same words.

فَتَرَكَهُمْ وَمَضَى أَيْضًا وَصَلَّى ثَالِثَةً قَائِلاً ذلِكَ الْكَلاَمَ بِعَيْنِهِ.

Then cometh he to his disciples, and saith unto them, Sleep on now, and take your rest: behold, the hour is at hand, and the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.

ثُمَّ جَاءَ إِلَى تَلاَمِيذِهِ وَقَالَ لَهُمْ:«نَامُوا الآنَ وَاسْتَرِيحُوا! هُوَذَا السَّاعَةُ قَدِ اقْتَرَبَتْ، وَابْنُ الإِنْسَانِ يُسَلَّمُ إِلَى أَيْدِي الْخُطَاةِ.

Rise, let us be going: behold, he is at hand that doth betray me.

قُومُوا نَنْطَلِقْ! هُوَذَا الَّذِي يُسَلِّمُني قَدِ اقْتَرَبَ!».

And while he yet spake, lo, Judas, one of the twelve, came, and with him a great multitude with swords and staves, from the chief priests and elders of the people.

وَفِيمَا هُوَ يَتَكَلَّمُ، إِذَا يَهُوذَا أَحَدُ الاثْنَيْ عَشَرَ قَدْ جَاءَ وَمَعَهُ جَمْعٌ كَثِيرٌ بِسُيُوفٍ وَعِصِيٍّ مِنْ عِنْدِ رُؤَسَاءِ الْكَهَنَةِ وَشُيُوخِ الشَّعْبِ.

Now he that betrayed him gave them a sign, saying, Whomsoever I shall kiss, that same is he: hold him fast.

وَالَّذِي أَسْلَمَهُ أَعْطَاهُمْ عَلاَمَةً قَائِلاً:«الَّذِي أُقَبِّلُهُ هُوَ هُوَ. أَمْسِكُوهُ».

And forthwith he came to Jesus, and said, Hail, master; and kissed him.

فَلِلْوَقْتِ تَقَدَّمَ إِلَى يَسُوعَ وَقَالَ: «السَّلاَمُ يَا سَيِّدِي!» وَقَبَّلَهُ.

And Jesus said unto him, Friend, wherefore art thou come? Then came they, and laid hands on Jesus, and took him.

فَقَالَ لَهُ يَسُوعُ: «يَا صَاحِبُ، لِمَاذَا جِئْتَ؟» حِينَئِذٍ تَقَدَّمُوا وَأَلْقَوْا الأَيَادِيَ عَلَى يَسُوعَ وَأَمْسَكُوهُ.

And, behold, one of them which were with Jesus stretched out his hand, and drew his sword, and struck a servant of the high priest's, and smote off his ear.

وَإِذَا وَاحِدٌ مِنَ الَّذِينَ مَعَ يَسُوعَ مَدَّ يَدَهُ وَاسْتَلَّ سَيْفَهُ وَضَرَبَ عَبْدَ رَئِيسِ الْكَهَنَةِ، فَقَطَعَ أُذْنَهُ.

Then said Jesus unto him, Put up again thy sword into his place: for all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword.

فَقَالَ لَهُ يَسُوعُ: «رُدَّ سَيْفَكَ إِلَى مَكَانِهِ. لأَنَّ كُلَّ الَّذِينَ يَأْخُذُونَ السَّيْفَ بِالسَّيْفِ يَهْلِكُونَ!

Thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to my Father, and he shall presently give me more than twelve legions of angels?

أَتَظُنُّ أَنِّي لاَ أَسْتَطِيعُ الآنَ أَنْ أَطْلُبَ إِلَى أَبِي فَيُقَدِّمَ لِي أَكْثَرَ مِنِ اثْنَيْ عَشَرَ جَيْشًا مِنَ الْمَلاَئِكَةِ؟

But how then shall the scriptures be fulfilled, that thus it must be?

فَكَيْفَ تُكَمَّلُ الْكُتُبُ: أَنَّهُ هكَذَا يَنْبَغِي أَنْ يَكُونَ؟».

In that same hour said Jesus to the multitudes, Are ye come out as against a thief with swords and staves for to take me? I sat daily with you teaching in the temple, and ye laid no hold on me.

فِي تِلْكَ السَّاعَةِ قَالَ يَسُوعُ لِلْجُمُوعِ:«كَأَنَّهُ عَلَى لِصٍّ خَرَجْتُمْ بِسُيُوفٍ وَعِصِيٍّ لِتَأْخُذُونِي! كُلَّ يَوْمٍ كُنْتُ أَجْلِسُ مَعَكُمْ أُعَلِّمُ فِي الْهَيْكَلِ وَلَمْ تُمْسِكُونِي.

But all this was done, that the scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled. Then all the disciples forsook him, and fled.

وَأَمَّا هذَا كُلُّهُ فَقَدْ كَانَ لِكَيْ تُكَمَّلَ كُتُبُ الأَنْبِيَاءِ». حِينَئِذٍ تَرَكَهُ التَّلاَمِيذُ كُلُّهُمْ وَهَرَبُوا.

And they that had laid hold on Jesus led him away to Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were assembled.

وَالَّذِينَ أَمْسَكُوا يَسُوعَ مَضَوْا بِهِ إِلَى قَيَافَا رَئِيسِ الْكَهَنَةِ، حَيْثُ اجْتَمَعَ الْكَتَبَةُ وَالشُّيُوخُ.

But Peter followed him afar off unto the high priest's palace, and went in, and sat with the servants, to see the end.

وَأَمَّا بُطْرُسُ فَتَبِعَهُ مِنْ بَعِيدٍ إِلَى دَارِ رَئِيسِ الْكَهَنَةِ، فَدَخَلَ إِلَى دَاخِل وَجَلَسَ بَيْنَ الْخُدَّامِ لِيَنْظُرَ النِّهَايَةَ.

Now the chief priests, and elders, and all the council, sought false witness against Jesus, to put him to death;

وَكَانَ رُؤَسَاءُ الْكَهَنَةِ وَالشُّيُوخُ وَالْمَجْمَعُ كُلُّهُ يَطْلُبُونَ شَهَادَةَ زُورٍ عَلَى يَسُوعَ لِكَيْ يَقْتُلُوهُ،

But found none: yea, though many false witnesses came, yet found they none. At the last came two false witnesses,

فَلَمْ يَجِدُوا. وَمَعَ أَنَّهُ جَاءَ شُهُودُ زُورٍ كَثِيرُونَ، لَمْ يَجِدُوا. وَلكِنْ أَخِيرًا تَقَدَّمَ شَاهِدَا زُورٍ

And said, This fellow said, I am able to destroy the temple of God, and to build it in three days.

وَقَالاَ:«هذَا قَالَ: إِنِّي أَقْدِرُ أَنْ أَنْقُضَ هَيْكَلَ اللهِ، وَفِي ثَلاَثَةِ أَيَّامٍ أَبْنِيهِ».

And the high priest arose, and said unto him, Answerest thou nothing? what is it which these witness against thee?

فَقَامَ رَئِيسُ الْكَهَنَةِ وَقَالَ لَهُ:«أَمَا تُجِيبُ بِشَيْءٍ؟ مَاذَا يَشْهَدُ بِهِ هذَانِ عَلَيْكَ؟»

But Jesus held his peace. And the high priest answered and said unto him, I adjure thee by the living God, that thou tell us whether thou be the Christ, the Son of God.

وَأَمَّا يَسُوعُ فَكَانَ سَاكِتًا. فَأَجَابَ رَئِيسُ الْكَهَنَةِ وَقَالَ لَهُ:«أَسْتَحْلِفُكَ بِاللهِ الْحَيِّ أَنْ تَقُولَ لَنَا: هَلْ أَنْتَ الْمَسِيحُ ابْنُ اللهِ؟»

Jesus saith unto him, Thou hast said: nevertheless I say unto you, Hereafter shall ye see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven.

قَالَ لَهُ يَسُوعُ:«أَنْتَ قُلْتَ! وَأَيْضًا أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: مِنَ الآنَ تُبْصِرُونَ ابْنَ الإِنْسَانِ جَالِسًا عَنْ يَمِينِ الْقُوَّةِ، وَآتِيًا عَلَى سَحَاب السَّمَاءِ».

Then the high priest rent his clothes, saying, He hath spoken blasphemy; what further need have we of witnesses? behold, now ye have heard his blasphemy.

فَمَزَّقَ رَئِيسُ الْكَهَنَةِ حِينَئِذٍ ثِيَابَهُ قَائِلاً:«قَدْ جَدَّفَ! مَا حَاجَتُنَا بَعْدُ إِلَى شُهُودٍ؟ هَا قَدْ سَمِعْتُمْ تَجْدِيفَهُ!

What think ye? They answered and said, He is guilty of death.

مَاذَا تَرَوْنَ؟» فَأَجَابُوا وَقَالوُا :«إِنَّهُ مُسْتَوْجِبُ الْمَوْتِ».

Then did they spit in his face, and buffeted him; and others smote him with the palms of their hands,

حِينَئِذٍ بَصَقُوا فِي وَجْهِهِ وَلَكَمُوهُ، وَآخَرُونَ لَطَمُوهُ

Saying, Prophesy unto us, thou Christ, Who is he that smote thee?

قَائِلِينَ:«تَنَبَّأْ لَنَا أَيُّهَا الْمَسِيحُ، مَنْ ضَرَبَكَ؟».

Now Peter sat without in the palace: and a damsel came unto him, saying, Thou also wast with Jesus of Galilee.

أَمَّا بُطْرُسُ فَكَانَ جَالِسًا خَارِجًا فِي الدَّارِ، فَجَاءَتْ إِلَيْهِ جَارِيَةٌ قَائِلَةً:«وَأَنْتَ كُنْتَ مَعَ يَسُوعَ الْجَلِيلِيِّ!».

But he denied before them all, saying, I know not what thou sayest.

فَأَنْكَرَ قُدَّامَ الْجَمِيعِ قَائِلاً: «لَسْتُ أَدْرِي مَا تَقُولِينَ!»

And when he was gone out into the porch, another maid saw him, and said unto them that were there, This fellow was also with Jesus of Nazareth.

ثُمَّ إِذْ خَرَجَ إِلَى الدِّهْلِيزِ رَأَتْهُ أُخْرَى، فَقَالَتْ لِلَّذِينَ هُنَاكَ:«وَهذَا كَانَ مَعَ يَسُوعَ النَّاصِرِيِّ!»

And again he denied with an oath, I do not know the man.

فَأَنْكَرَ أَيْضًا بِقَسَمٍ:«إِنِّي لَسْتُ أَعْرِفُ الرَّجُلَ!»

And after a while came unto him they that stood by, and said to Peter, Surely thou also art one of them; for thy speech bewrayeth thee.

وَبَعْدَ قَلِيل جَاءَ الْقِيَامُ وَقَالُوا لِبُطْرُسَ:«حَقًّا أَنْتَ أَيْضًا مِنْهُمْ، فَإِنَّ لُغَتَكَ تُظْهِرُكَ!»

Then began he to curse and to swear, saying, I know not the man. And immediately the cock crew.

فَابْتَدَأَ حِينَئِذٍ يَلْعَنُ وَيَحْلِفُ:«إِنِّي لاَ أَعْرِفُ الرَّجُلَ!» وَلِلْوَقْتِ صَاحَ الدِّيكُ.

And Peter remembered the word of Jesus, which said unto him, Before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice. And he went out, and wept bitterly.

فَتَذَكَّرَ بُطْرُسُ كَلاَمَ يَسُوعَ الَّذِي قَالَ لَهُ:«إِنَّكَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَصِيحَ الدِّيكُ تُنْكِرُني ثَلاَثَ مَرَّاتٍ». فَخَرَجَ إِلَى خَارِجٍ وَبَكَى بُكَاءً مُرًّا.
