1 וַיַּשְׁכִּימוּ רָאשֵׁי הַכֹּהֲנִים עִם־הַזְּקֵנִים וְהַסּוֹפְרִים וְכָל־הַסַּנְהֶדְרִין בַּבֹּקֶר וַיִּתְיָעֲצוּ וַיַּאַסְרוּ אֶת־יֵשׁוּעַ וַיּוֹלִיכֻהוּ מִשָּׁם וַיִּמְסְרֻהוּ אֶל־פִּילָטוֹס | 1 And straightway in the morning, the chief priests holding a consultation with the ancients and the scribes and the whole council, binding Jesus, led him away, and delivered him to Pilate. |
2 וַיִּשְׁאַל אוֹתוֹ פִּילָטוֹס הַאַתָּה מֶלֶךְ הַיְּהוּדִים וַיַּעַן וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלָיו אַתָּה אָמָרְתָּ | 2 And Pilate asked him: Art thou the king of the Jews? But he answering, saith to him: Thou sayest it. |
3 וְרָאשֵׁי הַכֹּהֲנִים הִרְבּוּ לְשִׂטְנוֹ | 3 And the chief priests accused him in many things. |
4 וַיּוֹסֶף פִּילָטוֹס וַיִּשְׁאָלֵהוּ לֵאמֹר הַאֵינְךָ מֵשִׁיב דָּבָר רְאֵה כַּמָּה הֵם מְעִידִים בָּךְ | 4 And Pilate again asked him, saying: Answerest thou nothing? behold in how many things they accuse thee. |
5 וְיֵשׁוּעַ לֹא־הֵשִׁיב עוֹד אַף־דָּבָר אֶחָד וַיִּתְמַהּ פִּילָטוֹס | 5 But Jesus still answered nothing; so that Pilate wondered. |
6 וּבְכָל־חַג הָיָה דַרְכּוֹ לִפְטֹר לָהֶם אָסִיר אֶחָד אֵת אֲשֶׁר יְבַקֵּשׁוּ | 6 Now on the festival day he was wont to release unto them one of the prisoners, whomsoever they demanded. |
7 וַיְהִי אִישׁ הַנִּקְרָא בְשֵׁם בַּר־אַבָּא אָסוּר עִם־הַמּוֹרְדִים אֲשֶׁר רָצְחוּ רֶצַח בְּעֵת הַמָּרֶד | 7 And there was one called Barabbas, who was put in prison with some seditious men, who in the sedition had committed murder. |
8 וַיִּשָּׂא הֶהָמוֹן אֶת־קוֹלוֹ וַיָּחֵלּוּ לְבַקֵּשׁ שֶׁיַּעֲשֶׂה לָהֶם כְּפַעַם בְּפָעַם | 8 And when the multitude was come up, they began to desire that he would do, as he had ever done unto them. |
9 וַיַּעַן אֹתָם פִּילָטוֹס וַיֹּאמַר הֲתַחְפְּצוּ כִּי־אֶפְטֹר לָכֶם אֶת־מֶלֶךְ הַיְּהוּדִים | 9 And Pilate answered them, and said: Will you that I release to you the king of the Jews? |
10 כִּי יָדַע אֲשֶׁר רַק־מִקִּנְאָה מְסָרוּהוּ רָאשֵׁי הַכֹּהֲנִים | 10 For he knew that the chief priests had delivered him up out of envy. |
11 וְרָאשֵׁי הַכֹּהֲנִים הֵסִיתוּ אֶת־הֶהָמוֹן לְבִלְתִּי פְּטֹר לָהֶם כִּי אִם אֵת בַּר־אַבָּא | 11 But the chief priests moved the people, that he should rather release Barabbas to them. |
12 וַיֹּסֶף פִּילָטוֹס וַיַּעַן וַיֹּאמֶר לָהֶם וּמָה־אֵפוֹא חֲפַצְתֶּם וְאֶעֱשֶׂה לַאֲשֶׁר אַתֶּם קֹרְאִים מֶלֶךְ הַיְּהוּדִים | 12 And Pilate again answering, saith to them: What will you then that I do to the king of the Jews? |
13 וַיּוֹסִיפוּ לִצְעֹק הַצְלֵב אוֹתוֹ | 13 But they again cried out: Crucify him. |
14 וַיֹּאמֶר אֲלֵיהֶם פִּילָטוֹס מָה־אֵפוֹא עָשָׂה רָעָה וְהֵם הִרְבּוּ־עוֹד לִצְעֹק הַצְלֵב אוֹתוֹ | 14 And Pilate saith to them: Why, what evil hath he done? But they cried out the more: Crucify him. |
15 וַיּוֹאֵל פִּילָטוֹס לַעֲשׂוֹת כִּרְצוֹן הָעָם וַיִּפְטֹר לָהֶם אֵת בַּר־אַבָּא וְאֵת יֵשׁוּעַ הִכָּה בַשּׁוֹטִים וַיִּמְסֹר אוֹתוֹ לְהִצָּלֵב | 15 And so Pilate being willing to satisfy the people, released to them Barabbas, and delivered up Jesus, when he had scourged him, to be crucified. |
16 וַיּוֹלִיכֻהוּ אַנְשֵׁי הַצָּבָא אֶל־הֶחָצֵר הַפְּנִימִית הוּא בֵּית הַמִּשְׁפָּט וַיַּזְעִיקוּ אֶת־כָּל־הַגְּדוּד | 16 And the soldiers led him away into the court of the palace, and they called together the whole band: |
17 וַיַּלְבִּישֻׁהוּ אַרְגָּמָן וַיְשָׂרְגוּ עֲטֶרֶת קֹצִים וַיְעַטְּרֻהוּ | 17 And they clothe him with purple, and platting a crown of thorns, they put it upon him. |
18 וַיָּחֵלּוּ לְבָרְכוֹ לֵאמֹר שָׁלוֹם לְךָ מֶלֶךְ הַיְּהוּדִים | 18 And they began to salute him: Hail, king of the Jews. |
19 וַיַּכּוּ עַל־רֹאשׁוֹ בְּקָנֶה וַיָּרֹקּוּ בוֹ וַיִּכְרְעוּ עַל־בִּרְכֵיהֶם וַיִּשְׁתַּחֲווּ לוֹ | 19 And they struck his head with a reed: and they did spit on him. And bowing their knees, they adored him. |
20 וְאַחֲרֵי הִתְלוֹצְצָם בּוֹ הִפְשִׁיטוּ אוֹתוֹ אֶת־הָאַרְגָּמָן וַיַּלְבִּישֻׁהוּ אֶת־בְּגָדָיו וַיּוֹצִיאֻהוּ לִצְלֹב אוֹתוֹ | 20 And after they had mocked him, they took off the purple from him, and put his own garments on him, and they led him out to crucify him. |
21 וַיֶּאֶנְסוּ אִישׁ עֹבֵר אֶחָד הַבָּא מִן־הַשָּׂדֶה וּשְׁמוֹ שִׁמְעוֹן הַקּוּרִינִי אֲבִי אֲלֶכְסַנְדְּרוֹס וְרוּפוֹס לָשֵׂאת אֶת־צְלָבוֹ | 21 And they forced one Simon a Cyrenian who passed by, coming out of the country, the father of Alexander and of Rufus, to take up his cross. |
22 וַיְבִיאֻהוּ אֶל־מְקוֹם גָּלְגָּלְתָּא הוּא מְקוֹם הַגֻּלְגֹּלֶת | 22 And they bring him into the place called Golgotha, which being interpreted is, The place of Calvary. |
23 וַיִּתְּנוּ־לוֹ יַיִן מָזוּג בְּמֹר וְהוּא לֹא קִבֵּל | 23 And they gave him to drink wine mingled with myrrh; but he took it not. |
24 וַיְהִי כַּאֲשֶׁר צָלְבוּ אוֹתוֹ וַיְחַלְּקוּ בְגָדָיו לָהֶם בְּהַפִּילָם עֲלֵיהֶם גּוֹרָל מַה־יִּקַּח אִישׁ אִישׁ | 24 And crucifying him, they divided his garments, casting lots upon them, what every man should take. |
25 וַתְּהִי הַשָּׁעָה הַשְּׁלִישִׁית וַיִּצְלְבֻהוּ | 25 And it was the third hour, and they crucified him. |
26 וַיְהִי דְּבַר־אַשְׁמָתוֹ כָּתוּב לְמַעְלָה מֶלֶךְ הַיְּהוּדִים | 26 And the inscription of his cause was written over: THE KING OF THE JEWS. |
27 וַיִּצְלְבוּ אִתּוֹ שְׁנֵי פָרִיצִים אֶחָד לִימִינוֹ וְאֶחָד לִשְׂמֹאלוֹ | 27 And with him they crucify two thieves; the one on his right hand, and the other on his left. |
28 וַיִּמָּלֵא הַכָּתוּב הָאֹמֵר וְאֶת־פּשְׁעִים נִמְנָה | 28 And the scripture was fulfilled, which saith: And with the wicked he was reputed. |
29 וְהָעֹבְרִים גִּדְּפוּ אוֹתוֹ וַיָּנִיעוּ רֹאשָׁם לֵאמֹר הֶאָח אַתָּה הַהוֹרֵס אֶת־הַהֵיכָל וּבוֹנֶה אוֹתוֹ בִּשְׁלשֶׁת יָמִים | 29 And they that passed by blasphemed him, wagging their heads, and saying: Vah, thou that destroyest the temple of God, and in three days buildest it up again; |
30 הוֹשַׁע אֶת־עַצְמֶךָ וּרְדָה מִן־הַצְּלָב | 30 Save thyself, 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 In like manner also the chief priests mocking, said with the scribes one to another: He saved others; himself he cannot save. |
32 הַמָּשִׁיחַ מֶלֶךְ יִשְׂרָאֵל יֵרֶד־נָא מִן־הַצְּלָב לְמַעַן נִרְאֶה וְנַאֲמִין וְגַם־הַנִּצְלָבִים אִתּוֹ חֵרְפוּהוּ | 32 Let Christ the king of Israel come down now from the cross, that we may see and believe. And they that were crucified with him reviled him. |
33 וּבִהְיוֹת הַשָּׁעָה הַשִּׁשִּׁית הָיָה חשֶׁךְ עַל־כָּל־הָאָרֶץ עַד הַשָּׁעָה הַתְּשִׁיעִית | 33 And when the sixth hour was come, there was darkness over the whole earth until the ninth hour. |
34 וּבַשָּׁעָה הַתְּשִׁיעִית וַיִּצְעַק יֵשׁוּעַ בְּקוֹל גָּדוֹל אֱלָהִי אֱלָהִי לְמָה שְׁבַקְתַּנִי אֲשֶׁר פֵּרוּשׁוֹ אֵלִי אֵלִי לָמָה עֲזַבְתָּנִי | 34 And at the ninth hour, Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying: Eloi, Eloi, lamma sabacthani? Which is, being interpreted, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? |
35 וּמִקְצָת הָעֹמְדִים אֶצְלוֹ בְּשָׁמְעָם אֶת־זֹאת אָמְרוּ הִנֵּה אֶל־אֵלִיָּהוּ הוּא קוֹרֵא | 35 And some of the standers by hearing, said: Behold he calleth Elias. |
36 וַיָּרָץ אֶחָד מֵהֶם וַיְמַלֵּא סְפוֹג חֹמֶץ וַיָּשֶׂם עַל־קָנֶה וַיַּשְׁקֵהוּ וַיֹּאמֶר הַנִּיחוּ וְנִרְאֶה אִם־יָבֹא אֵלִיָּהוּ לְהוֹרִידוֹ | 36 And one running and filling a sponge with vinegar, and putting it upon a reed, gave him to drink, saying: Stay, let us see if Elias come to take him down. |
37 וְיֵשׁוּעַ נָתַן קוֹל גָּדוֹל וַיִּפַּח אֶת־נַפְשׁוֹ | 37 And Jesus having cried out with a loud voice, gave up the ghost. |
38 וּפָרֹכֶת הַהֵיכָל נִקְרְעָה לִשְׁנַיִם קְרָעִים מִלְּמַעְלָה לְמָטָּה | 38 And the veil of the temple was rent in two, from the top to the bottom. |
39 וַיַּרְא שַׂר הַמֵּאָה הָעֹמֵד לְנֶגְדוֹ כִּי בְּזַעֲקוֹ כֵן נָפַח אֶת־נַפְשׁוֹ וַיֹּאמַר אָכֵן הָאִישׁ הַזֶּה הָיָה בֶן־הָאֱלֹהִים | 39 And the centurion who stood over against him, seeing that crying out in this manner he had given up the ghost, said: Indeed 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 And there were also women looking on afar off: among whom was Mary Magdalen, and Mary the mother of James the less and of Joseph, and Salome: |
41 אֲשֶׁר גַּם־הָלְכוּ אַחֲרָיו וְשֵׁרְתֻהוּ בִּהְיוֹתוֹ בַגָּלִיל וַאֲחֵרוֹת רַבּוֹת אֲשֶׁר־עָלוּ אִתּוֹ יְרוּשָׁלָיִם | 41 Who also when he was in Galilee followed him, and ministered to him, and many other women that came up with him to Jerusalem. |
42 וְעֵת הָעֶרֶב הִגִּיעַ וּמִפְּנֵי אֲשֶׁר עֶרֶב שַׁבָּת הָיָה הוּא הַיּוֹם שֶׁלִּפְנֵי הַשַּׁבָּת | 42 And when evening was now come, (because it was the Parasceve, that is, 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 noble counsellor, who was also himself looking for the kingdom of God, came and went in boldly to Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus. |
44 וַיִּתְמַהּ פִּילָטוֹס עַל־אֲשֶׁר הוּא כְּבָר מֵת וַיִּקְרָא אֶל־שַׂר הַמֵּאָה וַיִּשְׁאָלֵהוּ הֲגָוַע כְּבָר | 44 But Pilate wondered that he should be already dead. And sending for the centurion, he asked him if he were already dead. |
45 וַיֵּדַע מִפִּי־שַׂר הַמֵּאָה כִּי־כֵן וַיִּתֵּן אֶת־גּוּפָתוֹ מַתָּנָה לְיוֹסֵף | 45 And when he had understood it by 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 And Joseph buying fine linen, and taking him down, wrapped him up in the fine linen, and laid him in a sepulchre which was hewed out of a rock. And he rolled a stone to the door of the sepulchre. |
47 וּמִרְיָם הַמַּגְדָּלִית וּמִרְיָם אֵם יוֹסֵי הָיוּ רֹאוֹת אֶת־הַמָּקוֹם אֲשֶׁר הוּשַׂם שָׁמָּה | 47 And Mary Magdalen, and Mary the mother of Joseph, beheld where he was laid. |
