أعمال 17
| فَٱجْتَازَا فِي أَمْفِيبُولِيسَ وَأَبُولُونِيَّةَ، وَأَتَيَا إِلَى تَسَالُونِيكِي، حَيْثُ كَانَ مَجْمَعُ ٱلْيَهُودِ. | ١ 1 |
Now when they had passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where there was a Jewish synagogue.
| فَدَخَلَ بُولُسُ إِلَيْهِمْ حَسَبَ عَادَتِهِ، وَكَانَ يُحَاجُّهُمْ ثَلَاثَةَ سُبُوتٍ مِنَ ٱلْكُتُبِ، | ٢ 2 |
Paul, as was his custom, went in to them; and for three Sabbath days reasoned with them from the Scriptures,
| مُوَضِّحًا وَمُبَيِّنًا أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَنْبَغِي أَنَّ ٱلْمَسِيحَ يَتَأَلَّمُ وَيَقُومُ مِنَ ٱلْأَمْوَاتِ، وَأَنَّ: هَذَا هُوَ ٱلْمَسِيحُ يَسُوعُ ٱلَّذِي أَنَا أُنَادِي لَكُمْ بِهِ. | ٣ 3 |
explaining and demonstrating that the Messiah had to suffer and rise again from the dead, and saying, “This Yeshua, whom I proclaim to you, is the Messiah.”
| فَٱقْتَنَعَ قَوْمٌ مِنْهُمْ وَٱنْحَازُوا إِلَى بُولُسَ وَسِيلَا، وَمِنَ ٱلْيُونَانِيِّينَ ٱلْمُتَعَبِّدِينَ جُمْهُورٌ كَثِيرٌ، وَمِنَ ٱلنِّسَاءِ ٱلْمُتَقَدِّمَاتِ عَدَدٌ لَيْسَ بِقَلِيلٍ. | ٤ 4 |
Some of them were persuaded and joined Paul and Silas: of the devout Greeks a great multitude, and not a few of the chief women.
| فَغَارَ ٱلْيَهُودُ غَيْرُ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَٱتَّخَذُوا رِجَالًا أَشْرَارًا مِنْ أَهْلِ ٱلسُّوقِ، وَتَجَمَّعُوا وَسَجَّسُوا ٱلْمَدِينَةَ، وَقَامُوا عَلَى بَيْتِ يَاسُونَ طَالِبِينَ أَنْ يُحْضِرُوهُمَا إِلَى ٱلشَّعْبِ. | ٥ 5 |
But the unpersuaded Jews took along some wicked men from the marketplace and gathering a crowd, set the city in an uproar. Assaulting the house of Jason, they sought to bring them out to the people.
| وَلَمَّا لَمْ يَجِدُوهُمَا، جَرُّوا يَاسُونَ وَأُنَاسًا مِنَ ٱلْإِخْوَةِ إِلَى حُكَّامِ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ صَارِخِينَ: «إِنَّ هَؤُلَاءِ ٱلَّذِينَ فَتَنُوا ٱلْمَسْكُونَةَ حَضَرُوا إِلَى هَهُنَا أَيْضًا. | ٦ 6 |
When they didn’t find them, they dragged Jason and certain brothers before the rulers of the city, crying, “These who have turned the world upside down have come here also,
| وَقَدْ قَبِلَهُمْ يَاسُونُ. وَهَؤُلَاءِ كُلُّهُمْ يَعْمَلُونَ ضِدَّ أَحْكَامِ قَيْصَرَ قَائِلِينَ: إِنَّهُ يُوجَدُ مَلِكٌ آخَرُ: يَسُوعُ!». | ٧ 7 |
whom Jason has received. These all act contrary to the decrees of Caesar, saying that there is another king, Yeshua!”
| فَأَزْعَجُوا ٱلْجَمْعَ وَحُكَّامَ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ إِذْ سَمِعُوا هَذَا. | ٨ 8 |
The multitude and the rulers of the city were troubled when they heard these things.
| فَأَخَذُوا كَفَالَةً مِنْ يَاسُونَ وَمِنَ ٱلْبَاقِينَ، ثُمَّ أَطْلَقُوهُمْ. | ٩ 9 |
When they had taken security from Jason and the rest, they let them go.
| وَأَمَّا ٱلْإِخْوَةُ فَلِلْوَقْتِ أَرْسَلُوا بُولُسَ وَسِيلَا لَيْلًا إِلَى بِيرِيَّةَ. وَهُمَا لَمَّا وَصَلَا مَضَيَا إِلَى مَجْمَعِ ٱلْيَهُودِ. | ١٠ 10 |
The brothers immediately sent Paul and Silas away by night to Beroea. When they arrived, they went into the Jewish synagogue.
| وَكَانَ هَؤُلَاءِ أَشْرَفَ مِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ فِي تَسَالُونِيكِي، فَقَبِلُوا ٱلْكَلِمَةَ بِكُلِّ نَشَاطٍ فَاحِصِينَ ٱلْكُتُبَ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ: هَلْ هَذِهِ ٱلْأُمُورُ هَكَذَا؟ | ١١ 11 |
Now these were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, examining the Scriptures daily to see whether these things were so.
| فَآمَنَ مِنْهُمْ كَثِيرُونَ، وَمِنَ ٱلنِّسَاءِ ٱلْيُونَانِيَّاتِ ٱلشَّرِيفَاتِ، وَمِنَ ٱلرِّجَالِ عَدَدٌ لَيْسَ بِقَلِيلٍ. | ١٢ 12 |
Many of them therefore believed; also of the prominent Greek women, and not a few men.
| فَلَمَّا عَلِمَ ٱلْيَهُودُ ٱلَّذِينَ مِنْ تَسَالُونِيكِي أَنَّهُ فِي بِيرِيَّةَ أَيْضًا نَادَى بُولُسُ بِكَلِمَةِ ٱللهِ، جَاءُوا يُهَيِّجُونَ ٱلْجُمُوعَ هُنَاكَ أَيْضًا. | ١٣ 13 |
But when the Jews of Thessalonica had knowledge that the word of God was proclaimed by Paul at Beroea also, they came there likewise, agitating the multitudes.
| فَحِينَئِذٍ أَرْسَلَ ٱلْإِخْوَةُ بُولُسَ لِلْوَقْتِ لِيَذْهَبَ كَمَا إِلَى ٱلْبَحْرِ، وَأَمَّا سِيلَا وَتِيمُوثَاوُسُ فَبَقِيَا هُنَاكَ. | ١٤ 14 |
Then the brothers immediately sent out Paul to go as far as to the sea, and Silas and Timothy still stayed there.
| وَٱلَّذِينَ صَاحَبُوا بُولُسَ جَاءُوا بِهِ إِلَى أَثِينَا. وَلَمَّا أَخَذُوا وَصِيَّةً إِلَى سِيلَا وَتِيمُوثَاوُسَ أَنْ يَأْتِيَا إِلَيْهِ بِأَسْرَعِ مَا يُمْكِنُ، مَضَوْا. | ١٥ 15 |
But those who escorted Paul brought him as far as Athens. Receiving a commandment to Silas and Timothy that they should come to him very quickly, they departed.
| وَبَيْنَمَا بُولُسُ يَنْتَظِرُهُمَا فِي أَثِينَا ٱحْتَدَّتْ رُوحُهُ فِيهِ، إِذْ رَأَى ٱلْمَدِينَةَ مَمْلُؤَةً أَصْنَامًا. | ١٦ 16 |
Now while Paul waited for them at Athens, his spirit was provoked within him as he saw the city full of idols.
| فَكَانَ يُكَلِّمُ فِي ٱلْمَجْمَعِ ٱلْيَهُودَ ٱلْمُتَعَبِّدِينَ، وَٱلَّذِينَ يُصَادِفُونَهُ فِي ٱلسُّوقِ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ. | ١٧ 17 |
So he reasoned in the synagogue with the Jews and the devout persons, and in the marketplace every day with those who met him.
| فَقَابَلَهُ قَوْمٌ مِنَ ٱلْفَلَاسِفَةِ ٱلْأَبِيكُورِيِّينَ وَٱلرِّوَاقِيِّينَ، وَقَالَ بَعْضٌ: «تُرَى مَاذَا يُرِيدُ هَذَا ٱلْمِهْذَارُ أَنْ يَقُولَ؟». وَبَعْضٌ: «إِنَّهُ يَظْهَرُ مُنَادِيًا بِآلِهَةٍ غَرِيبَةٍ». لِأَنَّهُ كَانَ يُبَشِّرُهُمْ بِيَسُوعَ وَٱلْقِيَامَةِ. | ١٨ 18 |
Some of the Epicurean and Stoic philosophers also were conversing with him. Some said, “What does this babbler want to say?” Others said, “He seems to be advocating foreign deities,” because he preached Yeshua and the resurrection.
| فَأَخَذُوهُ وَذَهَبُوا بِهِ إِلَى أَرِيُوسَ بَاغُوسَ، قَائِلِينَ: «هَلْ يُمْكِنُنَا أَنْ نَعْرِفَ مَا هُوَ هَذَا ٱلتَّعْلِيمُ ٱلْجَدِيدُ ٱلَّذِي تَتَكَلَّمُ بِهِ. | ١٩ 19 |
They took hold of him and brought him to the Areopagus, saying, “May we know what this new teaching is, which you are speaking about?
| لِأَنَّكَ تَأْتِي إِلَى مَسَامِعِنَا بِأُمُورٍ غَرِيبَةٍ، فَنُرِيدُ أَنْ نَعْلَمَ مَا عَسَى أَنْ تَكُونَ هَذِهِ». | ٢٠ 20 |
For you bring certain strange things to our ears. We want to know therefore what these things mean.”
| أَمَّا ٱلْأَثِينَوِيُّونَ أَجْمَعُونَ وَٱلْغُرَبَاءُ ٱلْمُسْتَوْطِنُونَ، فَلَا يَتَفَرَّغُونَ لِشَيْءٍ آخَرَ، إِلَّا لِأَنْ يَتَكَلَّمُوا أَوْ يَسْمَعُوا شَيْئًا حَديثًا. | ٢١ 21 |
Now all the Athenians and the strangers living there spent their time in nothing else, but either to tell or to hear some new thing.
| فَوَقَفَ بُولُسُ فِي وَسْطِ أَرِيُوسَ بَاغُوسَ وَقَالَ: «أَيُّهَا ٱلرِّجَالُ ٱلْأَثِينِوِيُّونَ! أَرَاكُمْ مِنْ كُلِّ وَجْهٍ كَأَنَّكُمْ مُتَدَيِّنُونَ كَثِيرًا، | ٢٢ 22 |
Paul stood in the middle of the Areopagus and said, “You men of Athens, I perceive that you are very religious in all things.
| لِأَنَّنِي بَيْنَمَا كُنْتُ أَجْتَازُ وَأَنْظُرُ إِلَى مَعْبُودَاتِكُمْ، وَجَدْتُ أَيْضًا مَذْبَحًا مَكْتُوبًا عَلَيْهِ: «لِإِلَهٍ مَجْهُولٍ». فَٱلَّذِي تَتَّقُونَهُ وَأَنْتُمْ تَجْهَلُونَهُ، هَذَا أَنَا أُنَادِي لَكُمْ بِهِ. | ٢٣ 23 |
For as I passed along and observed the objects of your worship, I also found an altar with this inscription: ‘TO AN UNKNOWN GOD.’ What therefore you worship in ignorance, I announce to you.
| ٱلْإِلَهُ ٱلَّذِي خَلَقَ ٱلْعَالَمَ وَكُلَّ مَا فِيهِ، هَذَا، إِذْ هُوَ رَبُّ ٱلسَّمَاءِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ، لَا يَسْكُنُ فِي هَيَاكِلَ مَصْنُوعَةٍ بِٱلْأَيَادِي، | ٢٤ 24 |
The God who made the world and all things in it, he, being Lord of heaven and earth, doesn’t dwell in temples made with hands.
| وَلَا يُخْدَمُ بِأَيَادِي ٱلنَّاسِ كَأَنَّهُ مُحْتَاجٌ إِلَى شَيْءٍ، إِذْ هُوَ يُعْطِي ٱلْجَمِيعَ حَيَاةً وَنَفْسًا وَكُلَّ شَيْءٍ. | ٢٥ 25 |
He isn’t served by men’s hands, as though he needed anything, seeing he himself gives to all life and breath and all things.
| وَصَنَعَ مِنْ دَمٍ وَاحِدٍ كُلَّ أُمَّةٍ مِنَ ٱلنَّاسِ يَسْكُنُونَ عَلَى كُلِّ وَجْهِ ٱلْأَرْضِ، وَحَتَمَ بِٱلْأَوْقَاتِ ٱلْمُعَيَّنَةِ وَبِحُدُودِ مَسْكَنِهِمْ، | ٢٦ 26 |
He made from one blood every nation of men to dwell on all the surface of the earth, having determined appointed seasons and the boundaries of their dwellings,
| لِكَيْ يَطْلُبُوا ٱللهَ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَتَلَمَّسُونَهُ فَيَجِدُوهُ، مَعَ أَنَّهُ عَنْ كُلِّ وَاحِدٍ مِنَّا لَيْسَ بَعِيدًا. | ٢٧ 27 |
that they should seek the Lord, if perhaps they might reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from each one of us.
| لِأَنَّنَا بِهِ نَحْيَا وَنَتَحَرَّكُ وَنُوجَدُ، كَمَا قَالَ بَعْضُ شُعَرَائِكُمْ أَيْضًا: لِأَنَّنَا أَيْضًا ذُرِّيَّتُهُ. | ٢٨ 28 |
‘For in him we live, move, and have our being.’ As some of your own poets have said, ‘For we are also his offspring.’
| فَإِذْ نَحْنُ ذُرِّيَّةُ ٱللهِ، لَا يَنْبَغِي أَنْ نَظُنَّ أَنَّ ٱللَّاهُوتَ شَبِيهٌ بِذَهَبٍ أَوْ فِضَّةٍ أَوْ حَجَرِ نَقْشِ صِنَاعَةِ وَٱخْتِرَاعِ إِنْسَانٍ. | ٢٩ 29 |
Being then the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Divine Nature is like gold, or silver, or stone, engraved by art and design of man.
| فَٱللهُ ٱلْآنَ يَأْمُرُ جَمِيعَ ٱلنَّاسِ فِي كُلِّ مَكَانٍ أَنْ يَتُوبُوا، مُتَغَاضِيًا عَنْ أَزْمِنَةِ ٱلْجَهْلِ. | ٣٠ 30 |
The times of ignorance therefore God overlooked. But now he commands that all people everywhere should repent,
| لِأَنَّهُ أَقَامَ يَوْمًا هُوَ فِيهِ مُزْمِعٌ أَنْ يَدِينَ ٱلْمَسْكُونَةَ بِٱلْعَدْلِ، بِرَجُلٍ قَدْ عَيَّنَهُ، مُقَدِّمًا لِلْجَمِيعِ إِيمَانًا إِذْ أَقَامَهُ مِنَ ٱلْأَمْوَاتِ». | ٣١ 31 |
because he has appointed a day in which he will judge the world in righteousness by the man whom he has ordained; of which he has given assurance to all men, in that he has raised him from the dead.”
| وَلَمَّا سَمِعُوا بِٱلْقِيَامَةِ مِنَ ٱلْأَمْوَاتِ كَانَ ٱلْبَعْضُ يَسْتَهْزِئُونَ، وَٱلْبَعْضُ يَقُولُونَ: «سَنَسْمَعُ مِنْكَ عَنْ هَذَا أَيْضًا!». | ٣٢ 32 |
Now when they heard of the resurrection of the dead, some mocked; but others said, “We want to hear you again concerning this.”
| وَهَكَذَا خَرَجَ بُولُسُ مِنْ وَسْطِهِمْ. | ٣٣ 33 |
Thus Paul went out from amongst them.
| وَلَكِنَّ أُنَاسًا ٱلْتَصَقُوا بِهِ وَآمَنُوا، مِنْهُمْ دِيُونِيسِيُوسُ ٱلْأَرِيُوبَاغِيُّ، وَٱمْرَأَةٌ ٱسْمُهَا دَامَرِسُ وَآخَرُونَ مَعَهُمَا. | ٣٤ 34 |
But certain men joined with him and believed, including Dionysius the Areopagite, and a woman named Damaris, and others with them.
