1 וַיַּשְׁכִּימוּ רָאשֵׁי הַכֹּהֲנִים עִם־הַזְּקֵנִים וְהַסּוֹפְרִים וְכָל־הַסַּנְהֶדְרִין בַּבֹּקֶר וַיִּתְיָעֲצוּ וַיַּאַסְרוּ אֶת־יֵשׁוּעַ וַיּוֹלִיכֻהוּ מִשָּׁם וַיִּמְסְרֻהוּ אֶל־פִּילָטוֹס | 1 As soon as morning came, the chief priests with the elders and the scribes, that is, the whole Sanhedrin, held a council. They bound Jesus, led him away, and handed him over to Pilate. |
2 וַיִּשְׁאַל אוֹתוֹ פִּילָטוֹס הַאַתָּה מֶלֶךְ הַיְּהוּדִים וַיַּעַן וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלָיו אַתָּה אָמָרְתָּ | 2 Pilate questioned him, "Are you the king of the Jews?" He said to him in reply, "You say so." |
3 וְרָאשֵׁי הַכֹּהֲנִים הִרְבּוּ לְשִׂטְנוֹ | 3 The chief priests accused him of many things. |
4 וַיּוֹסֶף פִּילָטוֹס וַיִּשְׁאָלֵהוּ לֵאמֹר הַאֵינְךָ מֵשִׁיב דָּבָר רְאֵה כַּמָּה הֵם מְעִידִים בָּךְ | 4 Again Pilate questioned him, "Have you no answer? See how many things they accuse you of." |
5 וְיֵשׁוּעַ לֹא־הֵשִׁיב עוֹד אַף־דָּבָר אֶחָד וַיִּתְמַהּ פִּילָטוֹס | 5 Jesus gave him no further answer, so that Pilate was amazed. |
6 וּבְכָל־חַג הָיָה דַרְכּוֹ לִפְטֹר לָהֶם אָסִיר אֶחָד אֵת אֲשֶׁר יְבַקֵּשׁוּ | 6 Now on the occasion of the feast he used to release to them one prisoner whom they requested. |
7 וַיְהִי אִישׁ הַנִּקְרָא בְשֵׁם בַּר־אַבָּא אָסוּר עִם־הַמּוֹרְדִים אֲשֶׁר רָצְחוּ רֶצַח בְּעֵת הַמָּרֶד | 7 A man called Barabbas was then in prison along with the rebels who had committed murder in a rebellion. |
8 וַיִּשָּׂא הֶהָמוֹן אֶת־קוֹלוֹ וַיָּחֵלּוּ לְבַקֵּשׁ שֶׁיַּעֲשֶׂה לָהֶם כְּפַעַם בְּפָעַם | 8 The crowd came forward and began to ask him to do for them as he was accustomed. |
9 וַיַּעַן אֹתָם פִּילָטוֹס וַיֹּאמַר הֲתַחְפְּצוּ כִּי־אֶפְטֹר לָכֶם אֶת־מֶלֶךְ הַיְּהוּדִים | 9 Pilate answered, "Do you want me to release to you the king of the Jews?" |
10 כִּי יָדַע אֲשֶׁר רַק־מִקִּנְאָה מְסָרוּהוּ רָאשֵׁי הַכֹּהֲנִים | 10 For he knew that it was out of envy that the chief priests had handed him over. |
11 וְרָאשֵׁי הַכֹּהֲנִים הֵסִיתוּ אֶת־הֶהָמוֹן לְבִלְתִּי פְּטֹר לָהֶם כִּי אִם אֵת בַּר־אַבָּא | 11 But the chief priests stirred up the crowd to have him release Barabbas for them instead. |
12 וַיֹּסֶף פִּילָטוֹס וַיַּעַן וַיֹּאמֶר לָהֶם וּמָה־אֵפוֹא חֲפַצְתֶּם וְאֶעֱשֶׂה לַאֲשֶׁר אַתֶּם קֹרְאִים מֶלֶךְ הַיְּהוּדִים | 12 Pilate again said to them in reply, "Then what (do you want) me to do with (the man you call) the king of the Jews?" |
13 וַיּוֹסִיפוּ לִצְעֹק הַצְלֵב אוֹתוֹ | 13 They shouted again, "Crucify him." |
14 וַיֹּאמֶר אֲלֵיהֶם פִּילָטוֹס מָה־אֵפוֹא עָשָׂה רָעָה וְהֵם הִרְבּוּ־עוֹד לִצְעֹק הַצְלֵב אוֹתוֹ | 14 Pilate said to them, "Why? What evil has he done?" They only shouted the louder, "Crucify him." |
15 וַיּוֹאֵל פִּילָטוֹס לַעֲשׂוֹת כִּרְצוֹן הָעָם וַיִּפְטֹר לָהֶם אֵת בַּר־אַבָּא וְאֵת יֵשׁוּעַ הִכָּה בַשּׁוֹטִים וַיִּמְסֹר אוֹתוֹ לְהִצָּלֵב | 15 So Pilate, wishing to satisfy the crowd, released Barabbas to them and, after he had Jesus scourged, handed him over to be crucified. |
16 וַיּוֹלִיכֻהוּ אַנְשֵׁי הַצָּבָא אֶל־הֶחָצֵר הַפְּנִימִית הוּא בֵּית הַמִּשְׁפָּט וַיַּזְעִיקוּ אֶת־כָּל־הַגְּדוּד | 16 The soldiers led him away inside the palace, that is, the praetorium, and assembled the whole cohort. |
17 וַיַּלְבִּישֻׁהוּ אַרְגָּמָן וַיְשָׂרְגוּ עֲטֶרֶת קֹצִים וַיְעַטְּרֻהוּ | 17 They clothed him in purple and, weaving a crown of thorns, placed it on him. |
18 וַיָּחֵלּוּ לְבָרְכוֹ לֵאמֹר שָׁלוֹם לְךָ מֶלֶךְ הַיְּהוּדִים | 18 They began to salute him with, "Hail, King of the Jews!" |
19 וַיַּכּוּ עַל־רֹאשׁוֹ בְּקָנֶה וַיָּרֹקּוּ בוֹ וַיִּכְרְעוּ עַל־בִּרְכֵיהֶם וַיִּשְׁתַּחֲווּ לוֹ | 19 and kept striking his head with a reed and spitting upon him. They knelt before him in homage. |
20 וְאַחֲרֵי הִתְלוֹצְצָם בּוֹ הִפְשִׁיטוּ אוֹתוֹ אֶת־הָאַרְגָּמָן וַיַּלְבִּישֻׁהוּ אֶת־בְּגָדָיו וַיּוֹצִיאֻהוּ לִצְלֹב אוֹתוֹ | 20 And when they had mocked him, they stripped him of the purple cloak, dressed him in his own clothes, and led him out to crucify him. |
21 וַיֶּאֶנְסוּ אִישׁ עֹבֵר אֶחָד הַבָּא מִן־הַשָּׂדֶה וּשְׁמוֹ שִׁמְעוֹן הַקּוּרִינִי אֲבִי אֲלֶכְסַנְדְּרוֹס וְרוּפוֹס לָשֵׂאת אֶת־צְלָבוֹ | 21 They pressed into service a passer-by, Simon, a Cyrenian, who was coming in from the country, the father of Alexander and Rufus, to carry his cross. |
22 וַיְבִיאֻהוּ אֶל־מְקוֹם גָּלְגָּלְתָּא הוּא מְקוֹם הַגֻּלְגֹּלֶת | 22 They brought him to the place of Golgotha (which is translated Place of the Skull). |
23 וַיִּתְּנוּ־לוֹ יַיִן מָזוּג בְּמֹר וְהוּא לֹא קִבֵּל | 23 They gave him wine drugged with myrrh, but he did not take it. |
24 וַיְהִי כַּאֲשֶׁר צָלְבוּ אוֹתוֹ וַיְחַלְּקוּ בְגָדָיו לָהֶם בְּהַפִּילָם עֲלֵיהֶם גּוֹרָל מַה־יִּקַּח אִישׁ אִישׁ | 24 Then they crucified him and divided his garments by casting lots for them to see what each should take. |
25 וַתְּהִי הַשָּׁעָה הַשְּׁלִישִׁית וַיִּצְלְבֻהוּ | 25 It was nine o'clock in the morning when they crucified him. |
26 וַיְהִי דְּבַר־אַשְׁמָתוֹ כָּתוּב לְמַעְלָה מֶלֶךְ הַיְּהוּדִים | 26 The inscription of the charge against him read, "The King of the Jews." |
27 וַיִּצְלְבוּ אִתּוֹ שְׁנֵי פָרִיצִים אֶחָד לִימִינוֹ וְאֶחָד לִשְׂמֹאלוֹ | 27 With him they crucified two revolutionaries, one on his right and one on his left. |
28 וַיִּמָּלֵא הַכָּתוּב הָאֹמֵר וְאֶת־פּשְׁעִים נִמְנָה | 28 ) |
29 וְהָעֹבְרִים גִּדְּפוּ אוֹתוֹ וַיָּנִיעוּ רֹאשָׁם לֵאמֹר הֶאָח אַתָּה הַהוֹרֵס אֶת־הַהֵיכָל וּבוֹנֶה אוֹתוֹ בִּשְׁלשֶׁת יָמִים | 29 Those passing by reviled him, shaking their heads and saying, "Aha! You who would destroy the temple and rebuild it in three days, |
30 הוֹשַׁע אֶת־עַצְמֶךָ וּרְדָה מִן־הַצְּלָב | 30 save yourself by coming down from the cross." |
31 וְכֵן לָעֲגוּ לוֹ גַּם־רָאשֵׁי הַכֹּהֲנִים עִם־הַסּוֹפְרִים בְּאָמְרָם אִישׁ אֶל־רֵעֵהוּ אֶת־אֲחֵרִים הוֹשִׁיעַ וְאֶת־עַצְמוֹ לֹא יוּכַל לְהוֹשִׁיעַ | 31 Likewise the chief priests, with the scribes, mocked him among themselves and said, "He saved others; he cannot save himself. |
32 הַמָּשִׁיחַ מֶלֶךְ יִשְׂרָאֵל יֵרֶד־נָא מִן־הַצְּלָב לְמַעַן נִרְאֶה וְנַאֲמִין וְגַם־הַנִּצְלָבִים אִתּוֹ חֵרְפוּהוּ | 32 Let the Messiah, the King of Israel, come down now from the cross that we may see and believe." Those who were crucified with him also kept abusing him. |
33 וּבִהְיוֹת הַשָּׁעָה הַשִּׁשִּׁית הָיָה חשֶׁךְ עַל־כָּל־הָאָרֶץ עַד הַשָּׁעָה הַתְּשִׁיעִית | 33 At noon darkness came over the whole land until three in the afternoon. |
34 וּבַשָּׁעָה הַתְּשִׁיעִית וַיִּצְעַק יֵשׁוּעַ בְּקוֹל גָּדוֹל אֱלָהִי אֱלָהִי לְמָה שְׁבַקְתַּנִי אֲשֶׁר פֵּרוּשׁוֹ אֵלִי אֵלִי לָמָה עֲזַבְתָּנִי | 34 And at three o'clock Jesus cried out in a loud voice, "Eloi, Eloi, lema sabachthani?" which is translated, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" |
35 וּמִקְצָת הָעֹמְדִים אֶצְלוֹ בְּשָׁמְעָם אֶת־זֹאת אָמְרוּ הִנֵּה אֶל־אֵלִיָּהוּ הוּא קוֹרֵא | 35 Some of the bystanders who heard it said, "Look, he is calling Elijah." |
36 וַיָּרָץ אֶחָד מֵהֶם וַיְמַלֵּא סְפוֹג חֹמֶץ וַיָּשֶׂם עַל־קָנֶה וַיַּשְׁקֵהוּ וַיֹּאמֶר הַנִּיחוּ וְנִרְאֶה אִם־יָבֹא אֵלִיָּהוּ לְהוֹרִידוֹ | 36 One of them ran, soaked a sponge with wine, put it on a reed, and gave it to him to drink, saying, "Wait, let us see if Elijah comes to take him down." |
37 וְיֵשׁוּעַ נָתַן קוֹל גָּדוֹל וַיִּפַּח אֶת־נַפְשׁוֹ | 37 Jesus gave a loud cry and breathed his last. |
38 וּפָרֹכֶת הַהֵיכָל נִקְרְעָה לִשְׁנַיִם קְרָעִים מִלְּמַעְלָה לְמָטָּה | 38 The veil of the sanctuary was torn in two from top to bottom. |
39 וַיַּרְא שַׂר הַמֵּאָה הָעֹמֵד לְנֶגְדוֹ כִּי בְּזַעֲקוֹ כֵן נָפַח אֶת־נַפְשׁוֹ וַיֹּאמַר אָכֵן הָאִישׁ הַזֶּה הָיָה בֶן־הָאֱלֹהִים | 39 When the centurion who stood facing him saw how he breathed his last he said, "Truly this man was the Son of God!" |
40 וְגַם־נָשִׁים הָיוּ שָׁם רֹאוֹת מֵרָחוֹק וּבְתוֹכָן גַּם־מִרְיָם הַמַּגְדָּלִית וּמִרְיָם אִמּוֹ שֶׁל־יַעֲקֹב הַצָּעִיר וְשֶׁל־יוֹסֵי וּשְׁלֹמִית | 40 There were also women looking on from a distance. Among them were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of the younger James and of Joses, and Salome. |
41 אֲשֶׁר גַּם־הָלְכוּ אַחֲרָיו וְשֵׁרְתֻהוּ בִּהְיוֹתוֹ בַגָּלִיל וַאֲחֵרוֹת רַבּוֹת אֲשֶׁר־עָלוּ אִתּוֹ יְרוּשָׁלָיִם | 41 These women had followed him when he was in Galilee and ministered to him. There were also many other women who had come up with him to Jerusalem. |
42 וְעֵת הָעֶרֶב הִגִּיעַ וּמִפְּנֵי אֲשֶׁר עֶרֶב שַׁבָּת הָיָה הוּא הַיּוֹם שֶׁלִּפְנֵי הַשַּׁבָּת | 42 When it was already evening, since it was the day of preparation, the day before the sabbath, |
43 וַיָּבֹא יוֹסֵף הָרָמָתִי יוֹעֵץ נִכְבָּד אֲשֶׁר הָיָה מְחַכֶּה גַם־הוּא לְמַלְכוּת הָאֱלֹהִים וַיֶּאֱזֹר אֹמֶץ וַיָּבֹא אֶל־פִּילָטוֹס וַיִּשְׁאַל אֶת־גּוּפַת יֵשׁוּעַ | 43 Joseph of Arimathea, a distinguished member of the council, who was himself awaiting the kingdom of God, came and courageously went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus. |
44 וַיִּתְמַהּ פִּילָטוֹס עַל־אֲשֶׁר הוּא כְּבָר מֵת וַיִּקְרָא אֶל־שַׂר הַמֵּאָה וַיִּשְׁאָלֵהוּ הֲגָוַע כְּבָר | 44 Pilate was amazed that he was already dead. He summoned the centurion and asked him if Jesus had already died. |
45 וַיֵּדַע מִפִּי־שַׂר הַמֵּאָה כִּי־כֵן וַיִּתֵּן אֶת־גּוּפָתוֹ מַתָּנָה לְיוֹסֵף | 45 And when he learned of it from the centurion, he gave the body to Joseph. |
46 וְהוּא קָנָה סָדִין וַיּוֹרֶד אֹתוֹ וַיִּכְרְכֵהוּ בַּסָּדִין וַיְשִׂימֵהוּ בְקֶבֶר חָצוּב בַּסֶּלַע וַיָּגֶל אֶבֶן עַל־פֶּתַח הַקָּבֶר | 46 Having bought a linen cloth, he took him down, wrapped him in the linen cloth and laid him in a tomb that had been hewn out of the rock. Then he rolled a stone against the entrance to the tomb. |
47 וּמִרְיָם הַמַּגְדָּלִית וּמִרְיָם אֵם יוֹסֵי הָיוּ רֹאוֹת אֶת־הַמָּקוֹם אֲשֶׁר הוּשַׂם שָׁמָּה | 47 Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses watched where he was laid. |
