أعمال 19
| فَحَدَثَ فِيمَا كَانَ أَبُلُّوسُ فِي كُورِنْثُوسَ، أَنَّ بُولُسَ بَعْدَ مَا ٱجْتَازَ فِي ٱلنَّوَاحِي ٱلْعَالِيَةِ جَاءَ إِلَى أَفَسُسَ. فَإِذْ وَجَدَ تَلَامِيذَ | ١ 1 |
And it came to pass, while Apollos was at Corinth, Paul, having passed through the upper districts, came to Ephesus, and finding certain disciples,
| قَالَ لَهُمْ: «هَلْ قَبِلْتُمُ ٱلرُّوحَ ٱلْقُدُسَ لَمَّا آمَنْتُمْ؟». قَالُوا لَهُ: «وَلَا سَمِعْنَا أَنَّهُ يُوجَدُ ٱلرُّوحُ ٱلْقُدُسُ». | ٢ 2 |
he said to them, Did ye receive [the] Holy Spirit when ye had believed? And they [said] to him, We did not even hear if [the] Holy Spirit was [come].
| فَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «فَبِمَاذَا ٱعْتَمَدْتُمْ؟». فَقَالُوا: «بِمَعْمُودِيَّةِ يُوحَنَّا». | ٣ 3 |
And he said, To what then were ye baptised? And they said, To the baptism of John.
| فَقَالَ بُولُسُ: «إِنَّ يُوحَنَّا عَمَّدَ بِمَعْمُودِيَّةِ ٱلتَّوْبَةِ، قَائِلًا لِلشَّعْبِ أَنْ يُؤْمِنُوا بِالَّذِي يَأْتِي بَعْدَهُ، أَيْ بِٱلْمَسِيحِ يَسُوعَ». | ٤ 4 |
And Paul said, John indeed baptised [with] the baptism of repentance, saying to the people that they should believe on him that was coming after him, that is, on Jesus.
| فَلَمَّا سَمِعُوا ٱعْتَمَدُوا بِٱسْمِ ٱلرَّبِّ يَسُوعَ. | ٥ 5 |
And when they heard that, they were baptised to the name of the Lord Jesus.
| وَلَمَّا وَضَعَ بُولُسُ يَدَيْهِ عَلَيْهِمْ حَلَّ ٱلرُّوحُ ٱلْقُدُسُ عَلَيْهِمْ، فَطَفِقُوا يَتَكَلَّمُونَ بِلُغَاتٍ وَيَتَنَبَّأُونَ. | ٦ 6 |
And Paul having laid [his] hands on them, the Holy Spirit came upon them, and they spoke with tongues and prophesied.
| وَكَانَ جَمِيعُ ٱلرِّجَالِ نَحْوَ ٱثْنَيْ عَشَرَ. | ٧ 7 |
And all the men were about twelve.
| ثُمَّ دَخَلَ ٱلْمَجْمَعَ، وَكَانَ يُجَاهِرُ مُدَّةَ ثَلَاثَةِ أَشْهُرٍ مُحَاجًّا وَمُقْنِعًا فِي مَا يَخْتَصُّ بِمَلَكُوتِ ٱللهِ. | ٨ 8 |
And entering into the synagogue, he spoke boldly during three months, reasoning and persuading [the things] concerning the kingdom of God.
| وَلَمَّا كَانَ قَوْمٌ يَتَقَسَّوْنَ وَلَا يَقْنَعُونَ، شَاتِمِينَ ٱلطَّرِيقَ أَمَامَ ٱلْجُمْهُورِ، ٱعْتَزَلَ عَنْهُمْ وَأَفْرَزَ ٱلتَّلَامِيذَ، مُحَاجًّا كُلَّ يَوْمٍ فِي مَدْرَسَةِ إِنْسَانٍ ٱسْمُهُ تِيرَانُّسُ. | ٩ 9 |
But when some were hardened and disbelieved, speaking evil of the way before the multitude, he left them and separated the disciples, reasoning daily in the school of Tyrannus.
| وَكَانَ ذَلِكَ مُدَّةَ سَنَتَيْنِ، حَتَّى سَمِعَ كَلِمَةَ ٱلرَّبِّ يَسُوعَ جَمِيعُ ٱلسَّاكِنِينَ فِي أَسِيَّا، مِنْ يَهُودٍ وَيُونَانِيِّينَ. | ١٠ 10 |
And this took place for two years, so that all that inhabited Asia heard the word of the Lord, both Jews and Greeks.
| وَكَانَ ٱللهُ يَصْنَعُ عَلَى يَدَيْ بُولُسَ قُوَّاتٍ غَيْرَ ٱلْمُعْتَادَةِ، | ١١ 11 |
And God wrought no ordinary miracles by the hands of Paul,
| حَتَّى كَانَ يُؤْتَى عَنْ جَسَدِهِ بِمَنَادِيلَ أَوْ مَآزِرَ إِلَى ٱلْمَرْضَى، فَتَزُولُ عَنْهُمُ ٱلْأَمْرَاضُ، وَتَخْرُجُ ٱلْأَرْوَاحُ ٱلشِّرِّيرَةُ مِنْهُمْ. | ١٢ 12 |
so that even napkins or aprons were brought from his body [and put] upon the sick, and the diseases left them, and the wicked spirits went out.
| فَشَرَعَ قَوْمٌ مِنَ ٱلْيَهُودِ ٱلطَّوَّافِينَ ٱلْمُعَزِّمِينَ أَنْ يُسَمُّوا عَلَى ٱلَّذِينَ بِهِمِ ٱلْأَرْوَاحُ ٱلشِّرِّيرَةُ بِٱسْمِ ٱلرَّبِّ يَسُوعَ، قَائِلِينَ: «نُقْسِمُ عَلَيْكَ بِيَسُوعَ ٱلَّذِي يَكْرِزُ بِهِ بُولُسُ!». | ١٣ 13 |
And certain of the Jewish exorcists also, who went about, took in hand to call upon those who had wicked spirits the name of the Lord Jesus, saying, I adjure you by Jesus, whom Paul preaches.
| وَكَانَ سَبْعَةُ بَنِينَ لِسَكَاوَا، رَجُلٍ يَهُودِيٍّ رَئِيسِ كَهَنَةٍ، ٱلَّذِينَ فَعَلُوا هَذَا. | ١٤ 14 |
And there were certain [men], seven sons of Sceva, Jewish high priest, who were doing this.
| فَأَجَابَ ٱلرُّوحُ ٱلشِّرِّيرُ وَقَالَ: «أَمَّا يَسُوعُ فَأَنَا أَعْرِفُهُ، وَبُولُسُ أَنَا أَعْلَمُهُ، وَأَمَّا أَنْتُمْ فَمَنْ أَنْتُمْ؟» | ١٥ 15 |
But the wicked spirit answering said to them, Jesus I know, and Paul I am acquainted with; but ye, who are ye?
| فَوَثَبَ عَلَيْهِمُ ٱلْإِنْسَانُ ٱلَّذِي كَانَ فِيهِ ٱلرُّوحُ ٱلشِّرِّيرُ، وَغَلَبَهُمْ وَقَوِيَ عَلَيْهِمْ، حَتَّى هَرَبُوا مِنْ ذَلِكَ ٱلْبَيْتِ عُرَاةً وَمُجَرَّحِينَ. | ١٦ 16 |
And the man in whom the wicked spirit was leaped upon them, and having mastered both, prevailed against them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded.
| وَصَارَ هَذَا مَعْلُومًا عِنْدَ جَمِيعِ ٱلْيَهُودِ وَٱلْيُونَانِيِّينَ ٱلسَّاكِنِينَ فِي أَفَسُسَ. فَوَقَعَ خَوْفٌ عَلَى جَمِيعِهِمْ، وَكَانَ ٱسْمُ ٱلرَّبِّ يَسُوعَ يَتَعَظَّمُ. | ١٧ 17 |
And this became known to all, both Jews and Greeks, who inhabited Ephesus, and fear fell upon all of them, and the name of the Lord Jesus was magnified.
| وَكَانَ كَثِيرُونَ مِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ آمَنُوا يَأْتُونَ مُقِرِّينَ وَمُخْبِرِينَ بِأَفْعَالِهِمْ، | ١٨ 18 |
And many of those that believed came confessing and declaring their deeds.
| وَكَانَ كَثِيرُونَ مِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ يَسْتَعْمِلُونَ ٱلسِّحْرَ يَجْمَعُونَ ٱلْكُتُبَ وَيُحَرِّقُونَهَا أَمَامَ ٱلْجَمِيعِ. وَحَسَبُوا أَثْمَانَهَا فَوَجَدُوهَا خَمْسِينَ أَلْفًا مِنَ ٱلْفِضَّةِ. | ١٩ 19 |
And many of those that practised curious arts brought their books [of charms] and burnt them before all. And they reckoned up the prices of them, and found it fifty thousand pieces of silver.
| هَكَذَا كَانَتْ كَلِمَةُ ٱلرَّبِّ تَنْمُو وَتَقْوَى بِشِدَّةٍ. | ٢٠ 20 |
Thus with might the word of the Lord increased and prevailed.
| وَلَمَّا كَمِلَتْ هَذِهِ ٱلْأُمُورُ، وَضَعَ بُولُسُ فِي نَفْسِهِ أَنَّهُ بَعْدَمَا يَجْتَازُ فِي مَكِدُونِيَّةَ وَأَخَائِيَةَ يَذْهَبُ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ، قَائِلًا: «إِنِّي بَعْدَ مَا أَصِيرُ هُنَاكَ يَنْبَغِي أَنْ أَرَى رُومِيَةَ أَيْضًا». | ٢١ 21 |
And when these things were fulfilled, Paul purposed in his spirit to go to Jerusalem, passing through Macedonia and Achaia, saying, After I have been there I must see Rome also.
| فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَى مَكِدُونِيَّةَ ٱثْنَيْنِ مِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَانُوا يَخْدِمُونَهُ: تِيمُوثَاوُسَ وَأَرَسْطُوسَ، وَلَبِثَ هُوَ زَمَانًا فِي أَسِيَّا. | ٢٢ 22 |
And having sent into Macedonia two of those ministering to him, Timotheus and Erastus, he remained himself awhile in Asia.
| وَحَدَثَ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْوَقْتِ شَغَبٌ لَيْسَ بِقَلِيلٍ بِسَبَبِ هَذَا ٱلطَّرِيقِ، | ٢٣ 23 |
And there took place at that time no small disturbance about the way.
| لِأَنَّ إِنْسَانًا ٱسْمُهُ دِيمِتْرِيُوسُ، صَائِغٌ صَانِعُ هَيَاكِلِ فِضَّةٍ لِأَرْطَامِيسَ، كَانَ يُكَسِّبُ ٱلصُّنَّاعَ مَكْسَبًا لَيْسَ بِقَلِيلٍ. | ٢٤ 24 |
For a certain [man] by name Demetrius, a silver-beater, making silver temples of Artemis, brought no small gain to the artisans;
| فَجَمَعَهُمْ وَٱلْفَعَلَةَ فِي مِثْلِ ذَلِكَ ٱلْعَمَلِ وَقَالَ: «أَيُّهَا ٱلرِّجَالُ أَنْتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ أَنَّ سِعَتَنَا إِنَّمَا هِيَ مِنْ هَذِهِ ٱلصِّنَاعَةِ. | ٢٥ 25 |
whom having brought together, and those who wrought in such things, he said, Men, ye know that our well-living arises from this work,
| وَأَنْتُمْ تَنْظُرُونَ وَتَسْمَعُونَ أَنَّهُ لَيْسَ مِنْ أَفَسُسَ فَقَطْ، بَلْ مِنْ جَمِيعِ أَسِيَّا تَقْرِيبًا، ٱسْتَمَالَ وَأَزَاغَ بُولُسُ هَذَا جَمْعًا كَثِيرًا قَائِلًا: إِنَّ ٱلَّتِي تُصْنَعُ بِٱلْأَيَادِي لَيْسَتْ آلِهَةً. | ٢٦ 26 |
and ye see and hear that this Paul has persuaded and turned away a great crowd, not only of Ephesus, but almost of all Asia, saying that they are no gods which are made with hands.
| فَلَيْسَ نَصِيبُنَا هَذَا وَحْدَهُ فِي خَطَرٍ مِنْ أَنْ يَحْصُلَ فِي إِهَانَةٍ، بَلْ أَيْضًا هَيْكَلُ أَرْطَامِيسَ، ٱلْإِلَهَةِ ٱلْعَظِيمَةِ، أَنْ يُحْسَبَ لَا شَيْءَ، وَأَنْ سَوْفَ تُهْدَمُ عَظَمَتُهَا، هِيَ ٱلَّتِي يَعْبُدُهَا جَمِيعُ أَسِيَّا وَٱلْمَسْكُونَةِ». | ٢٧ 27 |
Now not only there is danger for us that our business come into discredit, but also that the temple of the great goddess Artemis be counted for nothing, and that her greatness should be destroyed whom the whole of Asia and the world reveres.
| فَلَمَّا سَمِعُوا ٱمْتَلَأُوا غَضَبًا، وَطَفِقُوا يَصْرُخُونَ قَائِلِينَ: «عَظِيمَةٌ هِيَ أَرْطَامِيسُ ٱلْأَفَسُسِيِّينَ!». | ٢٨ 28 |
And having heard [this], and being filled with rage, they cried out, saying, Great [is] Artemis of the Ephesians.
| فَٱمْتَلَأَتِ ٱلْمَدِينَةُ كُلُّهَا ٱضْطِرَابًا، وَٱنْدَفَعُوا بِنَفْسٍ وَاحِدَةٍ إِلَى ٱلْمَشْهَدِ خَاطِفِينَ مَعَهُمْ غَايُوسَ وَأَرِسْتَرْخُسَ ٱلْمَكِدُونِيَّيْنِ، رَفِيقَيْ بُولُسَ فِي ٱلسَّفَرِ. | ٢٩ 29 |
And the [whole] city was filled with confusion, and they rushed with one accord to the theatre, having seized and carried off with [them] Gaius and Aristarchus, Macedonians, fellow-travellers of Paul.
| وَلَمَّا كَانَ بُولُسُ يُرِيدُ أَنْ يَدْخُلَ بَيْنَ ٱلشَّعْبِ، لَمْ يَدَعْهُ ٱلتَّلَامِيذُ. | ٣٠ 30 |
But Paul intending to go in to the people, the disciples suffered him not;
| وَأُنَاسٌ مِنْ وُجُوهِ أَسِيَّا، كَانُوا أَصْدِقَاءَهُ، أَرْسَلُوا يَطْلُبُونَ إِلَيْهِ أَنْ لَا يُسَلِّمَ نَفْسَهُ إِلَى ٱلْمَشْهَدِ. | ٣١ 31 |
and some of the Asiarchs also, who were his friends, sent to him and urged him not to throw himself into the theatre.
| وَكَانَ ٱلْبَعْضُ يَصْرُخُونَ بِشَيْءٍ وَٱلْبَعْضُ بِشَيْءٍ آخَرَ، لِأَنَّ ٱلْمَحْفِلَ كَانَ مُضْطَرِبًا، وَأَكْثَرُهُمْ لَا يَدْرُونَ لِأَيِّ شَيْءٍ كَانُوا قَدِ ٱجْتَمَعُوا! | ٣٢ 32 |
Different persons therefore cried out some different thing; for the assembly was tumultuous, and the most did not know for what cause they had come together.
| فَٱجْتَذَبُوا إِسْكَنْدَرَ مِنَ ٱلْجَمْعِ، وَكَانَ ٱلْيَهُودُ يَدْفَعُونَهُ. فَأَشَارَ إِسْكَنْدَرُ بِيَدِهِ يُرِيدُ أَنْ يَحْتَجَّ لِلشَّعْبِ. | ٣٣ 33 |
But from among the crowd they put forward Alexander, the Jews pushing him forward. And Alexander, beckoning with his hand, would have made a defence to the people.
| فَلَمَّا عَرَفُوا أَنَّهُ يَهُودِيٌّ، صَارَ صَوْتٌ وَاحِدٌ مِنَ ٱلْجَمِيعِ صَارِخِينَ نَحْوَ مُدَّةِ سَاعَتَيْنِ: «عَظِيمَةٌ هِيَ أَرْطَامِيسُ ٱلْأَفَسُسِيِّينَ!». | ٣٤ 34 |
But, recognising that he was a Jew, there was one cry from all, shouting for about two hours, Great [is] Artemis of the Ephesians.
| ثُمَّ سَكَّنَ ٱلْكَاتِبُ ٱلْجَمْعَ وَقَالَ: «أَيُّهَا ٱلرِّجَالُ ٱلْأَفَسُسِيُّونَ، مَنْ هُوَ ٱلْإِنْسَانُ ٱلَّذِي لَا يَعْلَمُ أَنَّ مَدِينَةَ ٱلْأَفَسُسِيِّينَ مُتَعَبِّدَةٌ لِأَرْطَامِيسَ ٱلْإِلَهَةِ ٱلْعَظِيمَةِ وَٱلتِّمْثَالِ ٱلَّذِي هَبَطَ مِنْ زَفْسَ؟ | ٣٥ 35 |
And the townclerk, having quieted the crowd, said, Ephesians, what man is there then who does not know that the city of the Ephesians is temple-keeper of Artemis the great, and of the [image] which fell down from heaven?
| فَإِذْ كَانَتْ هَذِهِ ٱلْأَشْيَاءُ لَا تُقَاوَمُ، يَنْبَغِي أَنْ تَكُونُوا هَادِئِينَ وَلَا تَفْعَلُوا شَيْئًا ٱقْتِحَامًا. | ٣٦ 36 |
These things therefore being undeniable, it is necessary that ye should be calm and do nothing headlong.
| لِأَنَّكُمْ أَتَيْتُمْ بِهَذَيْنِ ٱلرَّجُلَيْنِ، وَهُمَا لَيْسَا سَارِقَيْ هَيَاكِلَ، وَلَا مُجَدِّفَيْنِ عَلَى إِلَهَتِكُمْ. | ٣٧ 37 |
For ye have brought these men, [who are] neither temple-plunderers, nor speak injuriously of your goddess.
| فَإِنْ كَانَ دِيمِتْرِيُوسُ وَٱلصُّنَّاعُ ٱلَّذِينَ مَعَهُ لَهُمْ دَعْوَى عَلَى أَحَدٍ، فَإِنَّهُ تُقَامُ أَيَّامٌ لِلْقَضَاءِ، وَيُوجَدُ وُلَاةٌ، فَلْيُرَافِعُوا بَعْضُهُمْ بَعْضًا. | ٣٨ 38 |
If therefore Demetrius and the artisans who [are] with him have a matter against any one, the courts are being held, and there are proconsuls: let them accuse one another.
| وَإِنْ كُنْتُمْ تَطْلُبُونَ شَيْئًا مِنْ جِهَةِ أُمُورٍ أُخَرَ، فَإِنَّهُ يُقْضَى فِي مَحْفِلٍ شَرْعِيٍّ. | ٣٩ 39 |
But if ye inquire anything concerning other matters, it will be settled in the regular assembly.
| لِأَنَّنَا فِي خَطَرٍ أَنْ نُحَاكَمَ مِنْ أَجْلِ فِتْنَةِ هَذَا ٱلْيَوْمِ. وَلَيْسَ عِلَّةٌ يُمْكِنُنَا مِنْ أَجْلِهَا أَنْ نُقَدِّمَ حِسَابًا عَنْ هَذَا ٱلتَّجَمُّعِ». | ٤٠ 40 |
For also we are in danger to be put in accusation for sedition for this [affair] of to-day, no cause existing in reference to which we shall be able to give a reason for this concourse.
| وَلَمَّا قَالَ هَذَا صَرَفَ ٱلْمَحْفِلَ. | ٤١ 41 |
And having said these things, he dismissed the assembly.
