1 וַיְהִי לִפְנוֹת הַבֹּקֶר וַיִּתְיָעֲצוּ כָּל־רָאשֵׁי הַכֹּהֲנִים וְזִקְנֵי הָעָם עַל־יֵשׁוּעַ לַהֲמִיתוֹ | 1 And when morning was come, all the chief priests and ancients of the people took counsel against Jesus, that they might put him to death. |
2 וַיַּאַסְרוּ אֹתוֹ וַיּוֹלִיכֻהוּ מִשָּׁם וַיִּמְסְרֻהוּ אֶל־פּוֹנְטִיּוֹס פִּילָטוֹס הַנְּצִיב | 2 And they brought him bound, and delivered him to Pontius Pilate the governor. |
3 וַיַּרְא יְהוּדָה הַמֹּסֵר אוֹתוֹ כִּי הִרְשִׁיעֻהוּ וַיִּנָּחֵם וַיָּשֶׁב אֶת־שְׁלשִׁים הַכֶּסֶף אֶל־הַכֹּהֲנִים הַגְּדוֹלִים וְהַזְּקֵנִים לֵאמֹר | 3 Then Judas, who betrayed him, seeing that he was condemned, repenting himself, brought back the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and ancients, |
4 חָטָאתִי כִּי־דָם נָקִי הִסְגָּרְתִּי וְהֵם אָמְרוּ מַה־לָּנּוּ וְלָזֹאת אַתָּה תִּרְאֶה | 4 Saying: I have sinned in betraying innocent blood. But they said: What is that to us? look thou to it. |
5 וַיַּשְׁלֵךְ אֶת־הַכֶּסֶף אֶל־הַהֵיכָל וַיִּפֶן וַיֵּלֶךְ וַיֵּחָנַק | 5 And casting down the pieces of silver in the temple, he departed: and went and hanged himself with an halter. |
6 וַיִּקְחוּ רָאשֵׁי הַכֹּהֲנִים אֶת־הַכֶּסֶף וַיֹּאמְרוּ לֹא־נָכוֹן לָנוּ לְתִתּוֹ אֶל־אֲרוֹן הַקָּרְבָּן כִּי־מְחִיר דָּמִים הוּא | 6 But the chief priests having taken the pieces of silver, said: It is not lawful to put them into the corbona, because it is the price of blood. |
7 וַיִּתְיָעֲצוּ וַיִּקְנוּ־בוֹ אֶת־שְׂדֵה הַיּוֹצֵר לִקְבוּרַת הַגֵּרִים | 7 And after they had consulted together, they bought with them the potter's field, to be a burying place for strangers. |
8 עַל־כֵּן שֵׁם־הַשָּׂדֶה הַהוּא שְׂדֵה הַדָּם עַד הַיּוֹם הַזֶּה | 8 For this cause the field was called Haceldama, that is, The field of blood, even to this day. |
9 אָז נִתְמַלֵּא מַה־שֶּׁנֶּאֱמַר בְּיַד זְכַרְיָה הַנָּבִיא וַיִּקְחוּ שְׁלשִׁים הַכֶּסֶף אֶדֶר הַיְקָר אֲשֶׁר יָקַר מֵעַל־בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל | 9 Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremias the prophet, saying: And they took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him that was prized, whom they prized of the children of Israel. |
10 וַיִּתְנוּ אֹתָם אֶל־שְׂדֵה הַיּוֹצֵר כַּאֲשֶׁר צִוַּנִי יְהוָֹה | 10 And they gave them unto the potter's field, as the Lord appointed to me. |
11 וְיֵשׁוּעַ הָעֳמַד לִפְנֵי הַנְּצִיב וַיִּשְׁאָלֵהוּ הַנְּצִיב לֵאמֹר הַאַתָּה הוּא מֶלֶךְ הַיְּהוּדִים וַיֹּאמֶר יֵשׁוּעַ אַתָּה אָמָרְתָּ | 11 And Jesus stood before the governor, and the governor asked him, saying: Art thou the king of the Jews? Jesus saith to him: Thou sayest it. |
12 וַיְדַבְּרוּ עָלָיו שִׂטְנָה הַכֹּהֲנִים הַגְּדוֹלִים וְהַזְּקֵנִים וְהוּא לֹא־עָנָה דָבָר | 12 And when he was accused by the chief priests and ancients, he answered nothing. |
13 וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלָיו פִּילָטוֹס הַאֵינְךָ שֹׁמֵעַ כַּמָּה הֵם מְעִידִים בָּךְ | 13 Then Pilate saith to him: Dost not thou hear how great testimonies they allege against thee? |
14 וְלֹא עָנָהוּ אַף־דָּבָר אֶחָד וַיִּתְמַהּ הַנְּצִיב עַד־מְאֹד | 14 And he answered him to never a word; so that the governor wondered exceedingly. |
15 וּמִנְהַג הַנְּצִיב הָיָה לִפְטֹר לָעָם בְּכָל־חַג אָסִיר אֶחָד אֵת אֲשֶׁר יֶחְפָּצוּ | 15 Now upon the solemn day the governor was accustomed to release to the people one prisoner, whom they would. |
16 וּבָעֵת הַהִיא הָיָה לָהֶם אָסִיר יָדוּעַ וּשְׁמוֹ בַּר־אַבָּא | 16 And he had then a notorious prisoner, that was called Barabbas. |
17 וַיְהִי כַּאֲשֶׁר נִקְהֲלוּ וַיֹּאמֶר אֲלֵיהֶם פִּילָטוֹס אֶת־מִי תַחְפְּצוּ כִּי־אֶפְטֹר לָכֶם אֵת בַּר־אַבָּא אוֹ אֶת־יֵשׁוּעַ הַנִּקְרָא בְּשֵׁם־מָשִׁיחַ | 17 They therefore being gathered together, Pilate said: Whom will you that I release to you, Barabbas, or Jesus that is called Christ? |
18 כִּי יָדַע אֲשֶׁר רַק־מִקִּנְאָה מָסְרוּ אֹתוֹ | 18 For he knew that for envy they had delivered him. |
19 וַיְהִי כְּשִׁבְתּוֹ עַל־כִּסֵּא הַדִּין וַתִּשְׁלַח אֵלָיו אִשְׁתּוֹ לֵאמֹר אַל־יְהִי־לְךָ דָבָר עִם־הַצַּדִּיק הַזֶּה כִּי בַעֲבוּרוֹ עֻנֵּיתִי הַרְבֵּה הַיּוֹם בַּחֲלוֹם | 19 And as he was sitting in the place of judgment, his wife sent to him, saying: Have thou nothing to do with that just man; for I have suffered many things this day in a dream because of him. |
20 וְהַכֹּהֲנִים הַגְּדוֹלִים וְהַזְּקֵנִים פִּתּוּ אֶת־הֲמוֹן הָעָם לִשְׁאֹל לָהֶם אֵת־בַּר־אַבָּא וּלְאַבֵּד אֶת־יֵשׁוּעַ | 20 But the chief priests and ancients persuaded the people, that they should ask Barabbas, and make Jesus away. |
21 וַיַּעַן הַנְּצִיב וַיֹּאמֶר אֲלֵיהֶם אֶת־מִי מִשְּׁנֵיהֶם תַּחְפְּצוּ כִּי־אֶפְטֹר לָכֶם וַיֹּאמְרוּ אֵת בַּר־אַבָּא | 21 And the governor answering, said to them: Whether will you of the two to be released unto you? But they said, Barabbas. |
22 וַיֹּאמֶר אֲלֵיהֶם פִּילָטוֹס וּמָה־אֶעֱשֶׂה לְיֵשׁוּעַ הַנִּקְרָא בְּשֵׁם־מָשִׁיחַ וַיַּעֲנוּ כֻלָּם יִצָּלֵב | 22 Pilate saith to them: What shall I do then with Jesus that is called Christ? They say all: Let him be crucified. |
23 וַיֹּאמֶר הַנְּצִיב מָה־אֵפוֹא הָרָעָה אֲשֶׁר עָשָׂה וַיּוֹסִיפוּ עוֹד צָעֹק לֵאמֹר יִצָּלֵּב | 23 The governor said to them: Why, what evil hath he done? But they cried out the more, saying: Let him be crucified. |
24 וַיְהִי כִּרְאוֹת פִּילָטוֹס כִּי לֹא־יוֹעִיל מְאוּמָה וְרָבְתָה עוֹד הַמְּהוּמָה וַיִּקַּח מַיִם וַיִּרְחַץ אֶת־יָדָיו לְעֵינֵי הָעָם וַיֹּאמַר נָקִי אָנֹכִי מִדַּם הַצַּדִּיק הַזֶּה אַתֶּם תִּרְאוּ | 24 And Pilate seeing that he prevailed nothing, but that rather a tumult was made; taking water washed his hands before the people, saying: I am innocent of the blood of this just man; look you to it. |
25 וַיַּעֲנוּ כָל־הָעָם וַיֹּאמְרוּ דָּמוֹ עָלֵינוּ וְעַל־בָּנֵינוּ | 25 And the whole people answering, said: His blood be upon us and our children. |
26 אָז פָּטַר לָהֶם אֵת בַּר־אַבָּא וְאֵת יֵשׁוּעַ הִכָּה בַשּׁוֹטִים וַיִּמְסֹר אוֹתוֹ לְהִצָּלֵב | 26 Then he released to them Barabbas, and having scourged Jesus, delivered him unto them to be crucified. |
27 וַיִּקְחוּ אַנְשֵׁי הַצָּבָא אֲשֶׁר לַנְּצִיב אֶת־יֵשׁוּעַ וַיְבִיאֻהוּ אֶל־בֵּית־הַמִּשְׁפָּט וַיַּאַסְפוּ עָלָיו אֵת כָּל־הַגְּדוּד | 27 Then the soldiers of the governor taking Jesus into the hall, gathered together unto him the whole band; |
28 וַיַּפְשִׁיטוּ אוֹתוֹ אֶת־בְּגָדָיו וַיַּעַטְפֻהוּ מְעִיל שָׁנִי | 28 And stripping him, they put a scarlet cloak about him. |
29 וַיְשָׂרְגוּ קֹצִים וַיַּעֲשֹוּ עֲטֶרֶת וַיָּשִׂימוּ עַל־רֹאשׁוֹ וְקָנֶה בִּימִינוֹ וַיִּכְרְעוּ לְפָנָיו וַיִּתְלוֹצְצוּ בוֹ לֵאמֹר שָׁלוֹם לְךָ מֶלֶךְ הַיְּהוּדִים | 29 And platting a crown of thorns, they put it upon his head, and a reed in his right hand. And bowing the knee before him, they mocked him, saying: Hail, king of the Jews. |
30 וַיָּרֹקּוּ בוֹ וַיִּקְחוּ אֶת־הַקָּנֶה וַיַּכֻּהוּ עַל־רֹאשׁוֹ | 30 And spitting upon him, they took the reed, and struck his head. |
31 וְאַחֲרֵי הִתְלוֹצְצָם בּוֹ הִפְשִׁיטוּ אוֹתוֹ אֶת־הַמְּעִיל וַיַּלְבִּישֻׁהוּ אֶת־בְּגָדָיו וַיּוֹלִיכֻהוּ לִצְלֹב | 31 And after they had mocked him, they took off the cloak from him, and put on him his own garments, and led him away to crucify him. |
32 וַיְהִי בְצֵאתָם וַיִּמְצְאוּ אִישׁ קוּרִינִי וּשְׁמוֹ שִׁמְעוֹן וַיֶּאֶנְסוּ אֹתוֹ לָשֵׂאת לוֹ אֶת־צְלָבוֹ | 32 And going out, they found a man of Cyrene, named Simon: him they forced to take up his cross. |
33 וַיָּבֹאוּ אֶל־הַמָּקוֹם הַנִּקְרָא גָּלְגָּלְתָּא הוּא מְקוֹם גֻּלְגֹּלֶת | 33 And they came to the place that is called Golgotha, which is the place of Calvary. |
34 וַיִּתְּנוּ־לוֹ לִשְׁתּוֹת חֹמֶץ מָזוּג בִּמְרוֹרָה וַיִּטְעַם וְלֹא אָבָה לִשְׁתּוֹת | 34 And they gave him wine to drink mingled with gall. And when he had tasted, he would not drink. |
35 וַיְהִי כַּאֲשֶׁר צָלְבוּ אוֹתוֹ וַיְחַלְּקוּ לָהֶם אֶת־בְּגָדָיו וְגוֹרָל הִפִּילוּ לְמַלֹּאת אֵת אֲשֶׁר־נֶאֱמַר בְּפִי הַנָּבִיא יְחַלְּקוּ בְגָדַי לָהֶם וְעַל־לְבוּשִׁי יַפִּילוּ גוֹרָל | 35 And after they had crucified him, they divided his garments, casting lots; that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying: They divided my garments among them; and upon my vesture they cast lots. |
36 וַיֵּשְׁבוּ שָׁמָּה וַיִּשְׁמְרוּ אוֹתוֹ | 36 And they sat and watched him. |
37 וַיָּשִׂימוּ אֶת־דְּבַר אַשְׁמָתוֹ כָּתוּב מִמַּעַל לְרֹאשׁוֹ זֶה הוּא יֵשׁוּעַ מֶלֶךְ הַיְּהוּדִים | 37 And they put over his head his cause written: THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS. |
38 וַיִּצָּלְבוּ אִתּוֹ שְׁנֵי פָרִיצִים אֶחָד לִימִינוֹ וְאֶחָד לִשְׂמֹאלוֹ | 38 Then were crucified with him two thieves: one on the right hand, and one on the left. |
39 וְהָעֹבְרִים גִּדְּפוּ אוֹתוֹ וַיָּנִיעוּ אֶת־רֹאשָׁם | 39 And they that passed by, blasphemed him, wagging their heads, |
40 וַיֹּאמְרוּ אַתָּה הַהֹרֵס אֶת־הַהֵיכָל וּבֹנֵהוּ בִּשְׁלשֶׁת יָמִים הוֹשַׁע לְנַפְשֶׁךָ וְאִם בֶּן־הָאֱלֹהִים אַתָּה רְדָה מִן־הַצְּלָב | 40 And saying: Vah, thou that destroyest the temple of God, and in three days dost rebuild it: save thy own self: if thou be the Son of God, come down from the cross. |
41 וְכֵן הִלְעִיגוּ גַּם־רָאשֵׁי הַכֹּהֲנִים עִם־הַסּוֹפְרִים וְהַזְּקֵנִים לֵאמֹר | 41 In like manner also the chief priests, with the scribes and ancients, mocking, said: |
42 אֶת־אֲחֵרִים הוֹשִׁיעַ וּלְעַצְמוֹ לֹא יוּכַל לְהוֹשִׁיעַ אִם־מֶלֶךְ יִשְׂרָאֵל הוּא יֵרֶד־נָא עַתָּה מִן־הַצְּלָב וְנַאֲמִין בּוֹ | 42 He saved others; himself he cannot save. If he be the king of Israel, let him now come down from the cross, and we will believe him. |
43 בָּטַח בֵּאלֹהִים עַתָּה יְפַלְּטֵהוּ אִם־חָפֵץ בּוֹ כִּי אָמַר בֶּן־הָאֱלֹהִים אָנִי | 43 He trusted in God; let him now deliver him if he will have him; for he said: I am the Son of God. |
44 וְגַם הַפָּרִיצִים הַנִּצְלָבִים אִתּוֹ חֵרְפֻהוּ כַּדְּבָרִים הָאֵלֶּה | 44 And the selfsame thing the thieves also, that were crucified with him, reproached him with. |
45 וּמִן הַשָּׁעָה הַשִּׁשִּׁית הָיָה חשֶׁךְ עַל־כָּל־הָאָרֶץ עַד הַשָּׁעָה הַתְּשִׁיעִית | 45 Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over the whole earth, until the ninth hour. |
46 וּכְעֵת הַשָּׁעָה הַתְּשִׁיעִית וַיִּצְעַק יֵשׁוּעַ בְּקוֹל גָּדוֹל אֵלִי אֵלִי לְמָה שְׁבַקְתָּנִי וְתַרְגּוּמוֹ אֵלִי אֵלִי לָמָה עֲזַבְתָּנִי | 46 And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying: Eli, Eli, lamma sabacthani? that is, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? |
47 וַיֹּאמְרוּ מִקְצָת הָעֹמְדִים שָׁם כְּשָׁמְעָם אֶת־זֹאת לֵאמֹר אֶל־אֵלִיָּהוּ הוּא קוֹרֵא | 47 And some that stood there and heard, said: This man calleth Elias. |
48 וַיְמַהֵר אֶחָד מֵהֶם וַיָּרָץ וַיִּקַּח סְפוֹג וַיְמַלֵּא אֹתוֹ חֹמֶץ וַיְשִׂימֵהוּ עַל־קָנֶה וַיַּשְׁקֵהוּ | 48 And immediately one of them running took a sponge, and filled it with vinegar; and put it on a reed, and gave him to drink. |
49 וּשְׁאָר הָאֲנָשִׁים אָמְרוּ הַנִּיחוּ לוֹ וְנִרְאֶה אִם־יָבוֹא אֵלִיָּהוּ לְהוֹשִׁיעוֹ וְאִישׁ אַחֵר לָקַח חֲנִית וַיִּדְקֹר אֶת־צַלְעוֹ וַיֵּצְאוּ מַיִם וָדָם | 49 And the others said: Let be, let us see whether Elias will come to deliver him. |
50 וְיֵשׁוּעַ הוֹסִיף לִקְרֹא בְּקוֹל גָּדוֹל וַתֵּצֵא רוּחוֹ | 50 And Jesus again crying with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost. |
51 וְהִנֵּה נִקְרְעָה פָרֹכֶת הַהֵיכָל מִלְמַעְלָה לְמַטָּה לִשְׁנַיִם קְרָעִים וְהָאָרֶץ נִרְעֲשָׁה וְהַסְּלָעִים נִבְקָעוּ | 51 And behold the veil of the temple was rent in two from the top even to the bottom, and the earth quaked, and the rocks were rent. |
52 וְהַקְּבָרִים נִפְתָּחוּ וְרַבִּים מִגּוּפוֹת הַקְּדוֹשִׁים יְשֵׁנֵי אַדְמַת עָפָר נֵעוֹרוּ | 52 And the graves were opened: and many bodies of the saints that had slept arose, |
53 וַיֵּצְאוּ מִן־הַקְּבָרִים אַחֲרֵי הֲקִיצוֹ וַיָּבֹאוּ אֶל־הָעִיר הַקְּדוֹשָׁה וַיֵּרָאוּ לָרַבִּים | 53 And coming out of the tombs after his resurrection, came into the holy city, and appeared to many. |
54 וְשַׂר־הַמֵּאָה וְהָאֲנָשִׁים אֲשֶׁר אִתּוֹ הַשֹּׁמְרִים אֶת־יֵשׁוּעַ כִּרְאוֹתָם אֶת־הָרַעַשׁ וְאֶת־אֲשֶׁר נִהְיְתָה נִבְהֲלוּ מְאֹד וַיֹּאמְרוּ אָכֵן זֶה הָיָה בֶן־אֱלֹהִים | 54 Now the centurion and they that were with him watching Jesus, having seen the earthquake, and the things that were done, were sore afraid, saying: Indeed this was the Son of God. |
55 וַתִּהְיֶינָה שָׁם נָשִׁים רַבּוֹת הָרֹאוֹת מֵרָחוֹק אֲשֶׁר הָלְכוּ אַחֲרֵי יֵשׁוּעַ מִן־הַגָּלִיל לְשָׁרְתוֹ | 55 And there were there many women afar off, who had followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering unto him: |
56 וּבְתוֹכָן מִרְיָם הַמַּגְדָּלִית וּמִרְיָם אֵם־יַעֲקֹב וְיוֹסֵי וְאֵם בְּנֵי זַבְדָּי | 56 Among whom was Mary Magdalen, and Mary the mother of James and Joseph, and the mother of the sons of Zebedee. |
57 וַיְהִי בָעֶרֶב וַיָּבֹא אִישׁ עָשִׁיר מִן־הָרָמָתַיִם וּשְׁמוֹ יוֹסֵף וְגַם־הוּא הָיָה מִתַּלְמִידֵי יֵשׁוּעַ | 57 And when it was evening, there came a certain rich man of Arimathea, named Joseph, who also himself was a disciple of Jesus. |
58 וַיִּגַּשׁ אֶל־פִּילָטוֹס לִשְׁאֹל אֶת־גְּוִיַּת יֵשׁוּעַ וַיְצַו פִּילָטוֹס כִּי־תִנָּתֶן לוֹ | 58 He went to Pilate, and asked the body of Jesus. Then Pilate commanded that the body should be delivered. |
59 וַיִּקַּח יוֹסֵף אֶת־הַגְּוִיָּה וַיִּכְרֹךְ אוֹתָהּ בְּסָדִין טָהוֹר | 59 And Joseph taking the body, wrapped it up in a clean linen cloth. |
60 וַיְשִׂימֶהָ בַּקֶּבֶר הֶחָדָשׁ אֲשֶׁר חָצַב־לוֹ בַּסָּלַע וַיָּגֶל אֶבֶן גְּדוֹלָה עַל־פֶּתַח הַקֶּבֶר וַיֵּלֶךְ לוֹ | 60 And laid it in his own new monument, which he had hewed out in a rock. And he rolled a great stone to the door of the monument, and went his way. |
61 וּמִרְיָם הַמַּגְדָּלִית וּמִרְיָם הָאַחֶרֶת הָיוּ ישְׁבוֹת שָׁם מִמּוּל הַקָּבֶר | 61 And there was there Mary Magdalen, and the other Mary sitting over against the sepulchre. |
62 וַיְהִי מִמָּחֳרַת עֶרֶב הַשַּׁבָּת וַיִּקָּהֲלוּ הַכֹּהֲנִים הַגְּדוֹלִים וְהַפְּרוּשִׁים אֶל־פִּילָטוֹס | 62 And the next day, which followed the day of preparation, the chief priests and the Pharisees came together to Pilate, |
63 וַיֹּאמְרוּ אֲדֹנֵינוּ זָכַרְנוּ כִּי אָמַר הַמַּתְעֶה הַהוּא בְּעוֹדֶנּוּ חַי מִקְצֵה שְׁלשֶׁת יָמִים קוֹם אָקוּם | 63 Saying: Sir, we have remembered, that that seducer said, while he was yet alive: After three days I will rise again. |
64 לָכֵן צַוֵּה־נָא וְיִסָּכֵר מְבוֹא הַקֶּבֶר עַד־הַיּוֹם הַשְּׁלִישִׁי פֶּן־יָבֹאוּ תַלְמִידָיו בַּלַּיְלָה וּגְנָבֻהוּ וְאָמְרוּ אֶל־הָעָם הִנֵּה־קָם מִן הַמֵּתִים וְהָיְתָה הַתַּרְמִית הָאַחֲרוֹנָה רָעָה מִן־הָרִאשׁוֹנָה | 64 Command therefore the sepulchre to be guarded until the third day: lest perhaps his disciples come and steal him away, and say to the people: He is risen from the dead; and the last error shall be worse than the first. |
65 וַיֹּאמֶר אֲלֵיהֶם פִּילָטוֹס הִנֵּה לָכֶם אַנְשֵׁי מִשְׁמָר לְכוּ סִכְרוּהוּ כְּדַעְתְּכֶם | 65 Pilate saith to them: You have a guard; go, guard it as you know. |
66 וַיֵּלְכוּ וַיִּסְכְּרוּ אֶת־מְבוֹא הַקֶּבֶר וַיַּחְתְּמוּ אֶת־הָאָבֶן וַיַּעֲמִידוּ עָלָיו אֶת־הַמִּשְׁמָר | 66 And they departing, made the sepulchre sure, sealing the stone, and setting guards. |
