قل ويك بيلاطوسُ الباغي بفعلته

جزيتَ شرّاً بإقلالٍ وإعوازِ

Say to the unjust Pilate for his deed

You were requited with evil for lessening and crippling

كيف اجترأت على من جاء مفتدياً

نفوسَنا أن تلاقيه بإبهاز

How did you dare against the one who came redeeming

Our souls to meet him with mortifying

حكمتَ أن يُصلحوا بالضرب مَعْرَتَهُ

وأنت بالجلد أولى منه يا هازي

You judged that they correct his doctrine with beating

While you, O insulter, are more deserving of the lashing

هذا الذي ترهب الأفلاكُ سطوتَه

وتُطْرِي مَقدِسَهُ العالي بإعزاز

This one whom the spheres dread his might

And his sublime sanctuary anoints with honor

أبديتَهُ اليومَ عُرياناً به وَهَنٌ

طوعاً لينقذ حَوّا من يد الهازي

You exposed his eternality today stripped with humiliation

Willingly to save eves from the grip of the insulter
