If you do not have internet you wont be able to get Lazarus in the first
place.

If you do have internet but not at the machine you want to install Lazarus
you can use apt-zip which generates a script that can be executed in
another machine (including Windows machines, but it'll need wget and
probably Cygwin or MSYS) to download the necessary files and copy them to
an external USB drive. Then move the files to the target machine where you
want Lazarus, etc and install them there.
