< أعمال 16 >
ثُمَّ وَصَلَ إِلَى دَرْبَةَ وَلِسْتَرَةَ، وَإِذَا تِلْمِيذٌ كَانَ هُنَاكَ ٱسْمُهُ تِيمُوثَاوُسُ، ٱبْنُ ٱمْرَأَةٍ يَهُودِيَّةٍ مُؤْمِنَةٍ وَلَكِنَّ أَبَاهُ يُونَانِيٌّ، | ١ 1 |
And he came to the city Derbe, and to Lystra. And there was a certain disciple there, whose name was Timothy, the son of a believing Jewess, but his father was a Gentile.
وَكَانَ مَشْهُودًا لَهُ مِنَ ٱلْإِخْوَةِ ٱلَّذِينَ فِي لِسْتَرَةَ وَإِيقُونِيَةَ. | ٢ 2 |
And all the disciples of Lystra and Iconium gave good testimony of him.
فَأَرَادَ بُولُسُ أَنْ يَخْرُجَ هَذَا مَعَهُ، فَأَخَذَهُ وَخَتَنَهُ مِنْ أَجْلِ ٱلْيَهُودِ ٱلَّذِينَ فِي تِلْكَ ٱلْأَمَاكِنِ، لِأَنَّ ٱلْجَمِيعَ كَانُوا يَعْرِفُونَ أَبَاهُ أَنَّهُ يُونَانِيٌّ. | ٣ 3 |
Him Paul was disposed to take with him: and he took him, and circumcised him, because of the Jews that were in that region; for they all knew that his father was a Gentile.
وَإِذْ كَانُوا يَجْتَازُونَ فِي ٱلْمُدُنِ كَانُوا يُسَلِّمُونَهُمُ ٱلْقَضَايَا ٱلَّتِي حَكَمَ بِهَا ٱلرُّسُلُ وَٱلْمَشَايِخُ ٱلَّذِينَ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ لِيَحْفَظُوهَا. | ٤ 4 |
And as they went among the cities, they preached and taught them, that they should observe those injunctions which the legates and Elders at Jerusalem had written.
فَكَانَتِ ٱلْكَنَائِسُ تَتَشَدَّدُ فِي ٱلْإِيمَانِ وَتَزْدَادُ فِي ٱلْعَدَدِ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ. | ٥ 5 |
And so were the churches established in the faith, and were increased in number daily.
وَبَعْدَ مَا ٱجْتَازُوا فِي فِرِيجِيَّةَ وَكُورَةِ غَلَاطِيَّةَ، مَنَعَهُمُ ٱلرُّوحُ ٱلْقُدُسُ أَنْ يَتَكَلَّمُوا بِٱلْكَلِمَةِ فِي أَسِيَّا. | ٦ 6 |
And they travelled through the regions of Phrygia and Galatia; and the Holy Spirit forbid them to speak the word of God in Asia.
فَلَمَّا أَتَوْا إِلَى مِيسِيَّا حَاوَلُوا أَنْ يَذْهَبُوا إِلَى بِثِينِيَّةَ، فَلَمْ يَدَعْهُمُ ٱلرُّوحُ. | ٧ 7 |
And when they came into the region of Mysia, they were disposed to go from there into Bithynia, but the Spirit of Jesus permitted them not.
فَمَرُّوا عَلَى مِيسِيَّا وَٱنْحَدَرُوا إِلَى تَرُوَاسَ. | ٨ 8 |
And when they departed from Mysia, they came down to the region of Troas.
وَظَهَرَتْ لِبُولُسَ رُؤْيَا فِي ٱللَّيْلِ: رَجُلٌ مَكِدُونِيٌّ قَائِمٌ يَطْلُبُ إِلَيْهِ وَيَقُولُ: «ٱعْبُرْ إِلَى مَكِدُونِيَّةَ وَأَعِنَّا!». | ٩ 9 |
And in a vision of the night, there appeared unto Paul, a man of Macedonia, who stood and besought him, saying: Come to Macedonia and help us.
فَلَمَّا رَأَى ٱلرُّؤْيَا لِلْوَقْتِ طَلَبْنَا أَنْ نَخْرُجَ إِلَى مَكِدُونِيَّةَ، مُتَحَقِّقِينَ أَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ قَدْ دَعَانَا لِنُبَشِّرَهُمْ. | ١٠ 10 |
And when Paul had seen this vision, immediately we were desirous to depart for Macedonia; because we inferred, that our Lord called us to preach to them.
فَأَقْلَعْنَا مِنْ تَرُوَاسَ وَتَوَجَّهْنَا بِٱلِٱسْتِقَامَةِ إِلَى سَامُوثْرَاكِي، وَفِي ٱلْغَدِ إِلَى نِيَابُولِيسَ. | ١١ 11 |
And we sailed from Troas, and came direct to Samothrace; and from there, on the following day, we came to the city Neapolis.
وَمِنْ هُنَاكَ إِلَى فِيلِبِّي، ٱلَّتِي هِيَ أَوَّلُ مَدِينَةٍ مِنْ مُقَاطَعَةِ مَكِدُونِيَّةَ، وَهِيَ كُولُونِيَّةُ. فَأَقَمْنَا فِي هَذِهِ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ أَيَّامًا. | ١٢ 12 |
And from there to Philippi, which is the chief city of Macedonia, and is a colony. And we remained in that city certain days.
وَفِي يَوْمِ ٱلسَّبْتِ خَرَجْنَا إِلَى خَارِجِ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ عِنْدَ نَهْرٍ، حَيْثُ جَرَتِ ٱلْعَادَةُ أَنْ تَكُونَ صَلَاةٌ، فَجَلَسْنَا وَكُنَّا نُكَلِّمُ ٱلنِّسَاءَ ٱللَّوَاتِي ٱجْتَمَعْنَ. | ١٣ 13 |
And on the sabbath day, we went without the gate of the city to the side of a river, because a house of prayer was seen there. And when we were seated, we conversed with the women who there assembled.
فَكَانَتْ تَسْمَعُ ٱمْرَأَةٌ ٱسْمُهَا لِيدِيَّةُ، بَيَّاعَةُ أُرْجُوَانٍ مِنْ مَدِينَةِ ثَيَاتِيرَا، مُتَعَبِّدَةٌ لِلهِ، فَفَتَحَ ٱلرَّبُّ قَلْبَهَا لِتُصْغِيَ إِلَى مَا كَانَ يَقُولُهُ بُولُسُ. | ١٤ 14 |
And a certain woman who feared God, a seller of purple, whose name was Lydia, from the city of Thyatira, was there. Her heart our Lord opened, and she hearkened to what Paul spake.
فَلَمَّا ٱعْتَمَدَتْ هِيَ وَأَهْلُ بَيْتِهَا طَلَبَتْ قَائِلَةً: «إِنْ كُنْتُمْ قَدْ حَكَمْتُمْ أَنِّي مُؤْمِنَةٌ بِٱلرَّبِّ، فَٱدْخُلُوا بَيْتِي وَٱمْكُثُوا». فَأَلْزَمَتْنَا. | ١٥ 15 |
And she was baptized, and her household. And she entreated us, saying: If ye are really persuaded that I have believed in our Lord, come and take lodging in my house. And she urged us much.
وَحَدَثَ بَيْنَمَا كُنَّا ذَاهِبِينَ إِلَى ٱلصَّلَاةِ، أَنَّ جَارِيَةً بِهَا رُوحُ عِرَافَةٍ ٱسْتَقْبَلَتْنَا. وَكَانَتْ تُكْسِبُ مَوَالِيَهَا مَكْسَبًا كَثِيرًا بِعِرَافَتِهَا. | ١٦ 16 |
And it occurred that, as we were going to the house of prayer, a certain maid met us, who had a spirit of divination, and who procured for her lords great gain by the divination which she performed.
هَذِهِ ٱتَّبَعَتْ بُولُسَ وَإِيَّانَا وَصَرَخَتْ قَائِلَةً: «هَؤُلَاءِ ٱلنَّاسُ هُمْ عَبِيدُ ٱللهِ ٱلْعَلِيِّ، ٱلَّذِينَ يُنَادُونَ لَكُمْ بِطَرِيقِ ٱلْخَلَاصِ». | ١٧ 17 |
And she followed after Paul and us, and cried, saying: These men are the servants of the Most High God, and they announce to you the way of life.
وَكَانَتْ تَفْعَلُ هَذَا أَيَّامًا كَثِيرَةً. فَضَجِرَ بُولُسُ وَٱلْتَفَتَ إِلَى ٱلرُّوحِ وَقَالَ: «أَنَا آمُرُكَ بِٱسْمِ يَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ أَنْ تَخْرُجَ مِنْهَا!». فَخَرَجَ فِي تِلْكَ ٱلسَّاعَةِ. | ١٨ 18 |
And this she did many days. And Paul was indignant; and he said to that spirit, I command thee, in the name of Jesus Messiah, that thou come out of her. And it came out the same hour.
فَلَمَّا رَأَى مَوَالِيهَا أَنَّهُ قَدْ خَرَجَ رَجَاءُ مَكْسَبِهِمْ، أَمْسَكُوا بُولُسَ وَسِيلَا وَجَرُّوهُمَا إِلَى ٱلسُّوقِ إِلَى ٱلْحُكَّامِ. | ١٩ 19 |
And when her lords saw that the prospect of their gain from her was gone, they seized Paul and Silas, and dragging them along brought them to the market-place,
وَإِذْ أَتَوْا بِهِمَا إِلَى ٱلْوُلَاةِ، قَالُوا: «هَذَانِ ٱلرَّجُلَانِ يُبَلْبِلَانِ مَدِينَتَنَا، وَهُمَا يَهُودِيَّانِ، | ٢٠ 20 |
and set them before the prefects and chiefs of the city, and said: These men disturb our city; for they are Jews,
وَيُنَادِيَانِ بِعَوَائِدَ لَا يَجُوزُ لَنَا أَنْ نَقْبَلَهَا وَلَا نَعْمَلَ بِهَا، إِذْ نَحْنُ رُومَانِيُّونَ». | ٢١ 21 |
and they preach to us customs, which it is not lawful for us to receive and to practise, because we are Romans.
فَقَامَ ٱلْجَمْعُ مَعًا عَلَيْهِمَا، وَمَزَّقَ ٱلْوُلَاةُ ثِيَابَهُمَا وَأَمَرُوا أَنْ يُضْرَبَا بِٱلْعِصِيِّ. | ٢٢ 22 |
And a great company was collected against them. Then the prefects rent their garments, and commanded to scourge them.
فَوَضَعُوا عَلَيْهِمَا ضَرَبَاتٍ كَثِيرَةً وَأَلْقُوهُمَا فِي ٱلسِّجْنِ، وَأَوْصَوْا حَافِظَ ٱلسِّجْنِ أَنْ يَحْرُسَهُمَا بِضَبْطٍ. | ٢٣ 23 |
And when they had scourged them much, they cast them into the prison, and commanded the keeper of the prison to keep them with care.
وَهُوَ إِذْ أَخَذَ وَصِيَّةً مِثْلَ هَذِهِ، أَلْقَاهُمَا فِي ٱلسِّجْنِ ٱلدَّاخِلِيِّ، وَضَبَطَ أَرْجُلَهُمَا فِي ٱلْمِقْطَرَةِ. | ٢٤ 24 |
And he, having received this command, carried and immured them in the inner part of the prison, and confined their feet in the stocks.
وَنَحْوَ نِصْفِ ٱللَّيْلِ كَانَ بُولُسُ وَسِيلَا يُصَلِّيَانِ وَيُسَبِّحَانِ ٱللهَ، وَٱلْمَسْجُونُونَ يَسْمَعُونَهُمَا. | ٢٥ 25 |
And at midnight Paul and Silas were praying and glorifying God: and the prisoners heard them.
فَحَدَثَ بَغْتَةً زَلْزَلَةٌ عَظِيمَةٌ حَتَّى تَزَعْزَعَتْ أَسَاسَاتُ ٱلسِّجْنِ، فَٱنْفَتَحَتْ فِي ٱلْحَالِ ٱلْأَبْوَابُ كُلُّهَا، وَٱنْفَكَّتْ قُيُودُ ٱلْجَمِيعِ. | ٢٦ 26 |
And suddenly there was a great shaking, and the foundations of the prison were moved; and at once all the doors opened, and the bands of all were loosed.
وَلَمَّا ٱسْتَيْقَظَ حَافِظُ ٱلسِّجْنِ، وَرَأَى أَبْوَابَ ٱلسِّجْنِ مَفْتُوحَةً، ٱسْتَلَّ سَيْفَهُ وَكَانَ مُزْمِعًا أَنْ يَقْتُلَ نَفْسَهُ، ظَانًّا أَنَّ ٱلْمَسْجُونِينَ قَدْ هَرَبُوا. | ٢٧ 27 |
And when the keeper of the prison awoke, and saw that the doors of the prison were open, he took a sword and sought to kill himself; because he supposed the prisoners had escaped.
فَنَادَى بُولُسُ بِصَوْتٍ عَظِيمٍ قَائِلًا: «لَا تَفْعَلْ بِنَفْسِكَ شَيْئًا رَدِيًّا! لِأَنَّ جَمِيعَنَا هَهُنَا!». | ٢٨ 28 |
But Paul called to him, in a loud voice, and said: Do thyself no harm, for we are all here.
فَطَلَبَ ضَوْءًا وَٱنْدَفَعَ إِلَى دَاخِلٍ، وَخَرَّ لِبُولُسَ وَسِيلَا وَهُوَ مُرْتَعِدٌ، | ٢٩ 29 |
And he lighted for himself a lamp, and sprang and came in, trembling, and fell at the feet of Paul and Silas.
ثُمَّ أَخْرَجَهُمَا وَقَالَ: «يَا سَيِّدَيَّ، مَاذَا يَنْبَغِي أَنْ أَفْعَلَ لِكَيْ أَخْلُصَ؟». | ٣٠ 30 |
And he brought them out, and said to them: My lords, what must I do, that I may have life?
فَقَالَا: «آمِنْ بِٱلرَّبِّ يَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ فَتَخْلُصَ أَنْتَ وَأَهْلُ بَيْتِكَ». | ٣١ 31 |
And they said to him: Believe on the name of our Lord Jesus Messiah, and thou wilt have life, thou and thy house.
وَكَلَّمَاهُ وَجَمِيعَ مَنْ فِي بَيْتِهِ بِكَلِمَةِ ٱلرَّبِّ. | ٣٢ 32 |
And they spoke the word of the Lord to him, and to all the members of his house.
فَأَخَذَهُمَا فِي تِلْكَ ٱلسَّاعَةِ مِنَ ٱللَّيْلِ وَغَسَّلَهُمَا مِنَ ٱلْجِرَاحَاتِ، وَٱعْتَمَدَ فِي ٱلْحَالِ هُوَ وَٱلَّذِينَ لَهُ أَجْمَعُونَ. | ٣٣ 33 |
And the same hour of the night, he took and washed them from their stripes; and he was baptized immediately, he and all the members of his house.
وَلَمَّا أَصْعَدَهُمَا إِلَى بَيْتِهِ قَدَّمَ لَهُمَا مَائِدَةً، وَتَهَلَّلَ مَعَ جَمِيعِ بَيْتِهِ إِذْ كَانَ قَدْ آمَنَ بِٱللهِ. | ٣٤ 34 |
And he took them and brought them into his house, and set a table for them; and he rejoiced in the faith of God, he and all the members of his house.
وَلَمَّا صَارَ ٱلنَّهَارُ أَرْسَلَ ٱلْوُلَاةُ ٱلْجَلَّادِينَ قَائِلِينَ: «أَطْلِقْ ذَيْنِكَ ٱلرَّجُلَيْنِ». | ٣٥ 35 |
And when it was morning, the prefects sent rod-bearers to say to the superior of the prison: Let those men loose.
فَأَخْبَرَ حَافِظُ ٱلسِّجْنِ بُولُسَ بِهَذا ٱلكَلَامِ أَنَّ ٱلْوُلَاةَ قَدْ أَرْسَلُوا أَنْ تُطْلَقَا، فَٱخْرُجَا ٱلْآنَ وَٱذْهَبَا بِسَلَامٍ. | ٣٦ 36 |
And when the superior of the prison heard it, he went in, and said the same thing to Paul; namely, that the prefects have sent word that ye be set free. And now, said he, Go ye out, and depart in peace.
فَقَالَ لَهُمْ بُولُسُ: «ضَرَبُونَا جَهْرًا غَيْرَ مَقْضِيٍّ عَلَيْنَا، وَنَحْنُ رَجُلَانِ رُومَانِيَّانِ، وَأَلْقَوْنَا فِي ٱلسِّجْنِ. أَفَٱلْآنَ يَطْرُدُونَنَا سِرًّا؟ كَلَّا! بَلْ لِيَأْتُوا هُمْ أَنْفُسُهُمْ وَيُخْرِجُونَا». | ٣٧ 37 |
But Paul said to him: They have scourged us, unoffending men, and Romans, before all the world, and have cast us into prison; and now, do they secretly let us out? No, surely: but let them come themselves and bring us out.
فَأَخْبَرَ ٱلْجَلَّادُونَ ٱلْوُلَاةَ بِهَذَا ٱلْكَلَامِ، فَٱخْتَشَوْا لَمَّا سَمِعُوا أَنَّهُمَا رُومَانِيَّانِ. | ٣٨ 38 |
And the rod-bearers went and told to the prefects the words which were told to them: and when they heard that they were Romans, they were afraid,
فَجَاءُوا وَتَضَرَّعُوا إِلَيْهِمَا وَأَخْرَجُوهُمَا، وَسَأَلُوهُمَا أَنْ يَخْرُجَا مِنَ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ. | ٣٩ 39 |
and came to them, and entreated of them that they would come out, and that they would leave the city.
فَخَرَجَا مِنَ ٱلسِّجْنِ وَدَخَلَا عِنْدَ لِيدِيَّةَ، فَأَبْصَرَا ٱلْإِخْوَةَ وَعَزَّيَاهُمْ ثُمَّ خَرَجَا. | ٤٠ 40 |
And when they came out from the prison, they entered the house of Lydia; and there they saw the brethren, and comforted them, and departed.
