أعمال 20

١ 1 وَبَعْدَمَا ٱنْتَهَى ٱلشَّغَبُ، دَعَا بُولُسُ ٱلتَّلَامِيذَ وَوَدَّعَهُمْ، وَخَرَجَ لِيَذْهَبَ إِلَى مَكِدُونِيَّةَ.

After the uproar had ceased, Paul sent for the disciples, took leave of them, and departed to go into Macedonia.

٢ 2 وَلَمَّا كَانَ قَدِ ٱجْتَازَ فِي تِلْكَ ٱلنَّوَاحِي وَوَعَظَهُمْ بِكَلَامٍ كَثِيرٍ، جَاءَ إِلَى هَلَّاسَ،

When he had gone through those parts and had encouraged them with many words, he came into Greece.

٣ 3 فَصَرَفَ ثَلَاثَةَ أَشْهُرٍ. ثُمَّ إِذْ حَصَلَتْ مَكِيدَةٌ مِنَ ٱلْيَهُودِ عَلَيْهِ، وَهُوَ مُزْمِعٌ أَنْ يَصْعَدَ إِلَى سُورِيَّةَ، صَارَ رَأْيٌ أَنْ يَرْجِعَ عَلَى طَرِيقِ مَكِدُونِيَّةَ.

When he had spent three months there, and a plot was made against him by Jews as he was about to set sail for Syria, he determined to return through Macedonia.

٤ 4 فَرَافَقَهُ إِلَى أَسِيَّا سُوبَاتَرُسُ ٱلْبِيرِيُّ، وَمِنْ أَهْلِ تَسَالُونِيكِي: أَرَسْتَرْخُسُ وَسَكُونْدُسُ وَغَايُوسُ ٱلدَّرْبِيُّ وَتِيمُوثَاوُسُ. وَمِنْ أَهْلِ أَسِيَّا: تِيخِيكُسُ وَتُرُوفِيمُسُ.

These accompanied him as far as Asia: Sopater of Beroea, Aristarchus and Secundus of the Thessalonians, Gaius of Derbe, Timothy, and Tychicus and Trophimus of Asia.

٥ 5 هَؤُلَاءِ سَبَقُوا وَٱنْتَظَرُونَا فِي تَرُوَاسَ.

But these had gone ahead, and were waiting for us at Troas.

٦ 6 وَأَمَّا نَحْنُ فَسَافَرْنَا فِي ٱلْبَحْرِ بَعْدَ أَيَّامِ ٱلْفَطِيرِ مِنْ فِيلِبِّي، وَوَافَيْنَاهُمْ فِي خَمْسَةِ أَيَّامٍ إِلَى تَرُوَاسَ، حَيْثُ صَرَفْنَا سَبْعَةَ أَيَّامٍ.

We sailed away from Philippi after the days of Unleavened Bread, and came to them at Troas in five days, where we stayed seven days.

٧ 7 وَفِي أَوَّلِ ٱلْأُسْبُوعِ إِذْ كَانَ ٱلتَّلَامِيذُ مُجْتَمِعِينَ لِيَكْسِرُوا خُبْزًا، خَاطَبَهُمْ بُولُسُ وَهُوَ مُزْمِعٌ أَنْ يَمْضِيَ فِي ٱلْغَدِ، وَأَطَالَ ٱلْكَلَامَ إِلَى نِصْفِ ٱللَّيْلِ.

On the first day of the week, when the disciples were gathered together to break bread, Paul talked with them, intending to depart on the next day; and continued his speech until midnight.

٨ 8 وَكَانَتْ مَصَابِيحُ كَثِيرَةٌ فِي ٱلْعِلِّيَّةِ ٱلَّتِي كَانُوا مُجْتَمِعِينَ فِيهَا.

There were many lights in the upper room where we were gathered together.

٩ 9 وَكَانَ شَابٌّ ٱسْمُهُ أَفْتِيخُوسُ جَالِسًا فِي ٱلطَّاقَةِ مُتَثَقِّلًا بِنَوْمٍ عَمِيقٍ. وَإِذْ كَانَ بُولُسُ يُخَاطِبُ خِطَابًا طَوِيلًا، غَلَبَ عَلَيْهِ ٱلنَّوْمُ فَسَقَطَ مِنَ ٱلطَّبَقَةِ ٱلثَّالِثَةِ إِلَى أَسْفَلُ، وَحُمِلَ مَيِّتًا.

A certain young man named Eutychus sat in the window, weighed down with deep sleep. As Paul spoke still longer, being weighed down by his sleep, he fell down from the third floor and was taken up dead.

١٠ 10 فَنَزَلَ بُولُسُ وَوَقَعَ عَلَيْهِ وَٱعْتَنَقَهُ قَائِلًا: «لَا تَضْطَرِبُوا! لِأَنَّ نَفْسَهُ فِيهِ!».

Paul went down and fell upon him, and embracing him said, “Don’t be troubled, for his life is in him.”

١١ 11 ثُمَّ صَعِدَ وَكَسَّرَ خُبْزًا وَأَكَلَ وَتَكَلَّمَ كَثِيرًا إِلَى ٱلْفَجْرِ. وَهَكَذَا خَرَجَ.

When he had gone up, had broken bread and eaten, and had talked with them a long while, even until break of day, he departed.

١٢ 12 وَأَتَوْا بِٱلْفَتَى حَيًّا، وَتَعَزَّوْا تَعْزِيَةً لَيْسَتْ بِقَلِيلَةٍ.

They brought the boy in alive, and were greatly comforted.

١٣ 13 وَأَمَّا نَحْنُ فَسَبَقْنَا إِلَى ٱلسَّفِينَةِ وَأَقْلَعْنَا إِلَى أَسُّوسَ، مُزْمِعِينَ أَنْ نَأْخُذَ بُولُسَ مِنْ هُنَاكَ، لِأَنَّهُ كَانَ قَدْ رَتَّبَ هَكَذَا مُزْمِعًا أَنْ يَمْشِيَ.

But we, going ahead to the ship, set sail for Assos, intending to take Paul aboard there; for he had so arranged, intending himself to go by land.

١٤ 14 فَلَمَّا وَافَانَا إِلَى أَسُّوسَ أَخَذْنَاهُ وَأَتَيْنَا إِلَى مِيتِيلِينِي.

When he met us at Assos, we took him aboard and came to Mitylene.

١٥ 15 ثُمَّ سَافَرْنَا مِنْ هُنَاكَ فِي ٱلْبَحْرِ وَأَقْبَلْنَا فِي ٱلْغَدِ إِلَى مُقَابِلِ خِيُوسَ. وَفِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلْآخَرِ وَصَلْنَا إِلَى سَامُوسَ، وَأَقَمْنَا فِي تُرُوجِيلِيُّونَ، ثُمَّ فِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلتَّالِي جِئْنَا إِلَى مِيلِيتُسَ،

Sailing from there, we came the following day opposite Chios. The next day we touched at Samos and stayed at Trogyllium, and the day after we came to Miletus.

١٦ 16 لِأَنَّ بُولُسَ عَزَمَ أَنْ يَتَجَاوَزَ أَفَسُسَ فِي ٱلْبَحْرِ لِئَلَّا يَعْرِضَ لَهُ أَنْ يَصْرِفَ وَقْتًا فِي أَسِيَّا، لِأَنَّهُ كَانَ يُسْرِعُ حَتَّى إِذَا أَمْكَنَهُ يَكُونُ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ فِي يَوْمِ ٱلْخَمْسِينَ.

For Paul had determined to sail past Ephesus, that he might not have to spend time in Asia; for he was hastening, if it were possible for him, to be in Jerusalem on the day of Shavu`ot.

١٧ 17 وَمِنْ مِيلِيتُسَ أَرْسَلَ إِلَى أَفَسُسَ وَٱسْتَدْعَى قُسُوسَ ٱلْكَنِيسَةِ.

From Miletus he sent to Ephesus and called to himself the elders of the assembly.

١٨ 18 فَلَمَّا جَاءُوا إِلَيْهِ قَالَ لَهُمْ: «أَنْتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ مِنْ أَوَّلِ يَوْمٍ دَخَلْتُ أَسِيَّا، كَيْفَ كُنْتُ مَعَكُمْ كُلَّ ٱلزَّمَانِ،

When they had come to him, he said to them, “You yourselves know, from the first day that I set foot in Asia, how I was with you all the time,

١٩ 19 أَخْدِمُ ٱلرَّبَّ بِكُلِّ تَوَاضُعٍ وَدُمُوعٍ كَثِيرَةٍ، وَبِتَجَارِبَ أَصَابَتْنِي بِمَكَايِدِ ٱلْيَهُودِ.

serving the Lord with all humility, with many tears, and with trials which happened to me by the plots of the Jews;

٢٠ 20 كَيْفَ لَمْ أُؤَخِّرْ شَيْئًا مِنَ ٱلْفَوَائِدِ إِلَّا وَأَخْبَرْتُكُمْ وَعَلَّمْتُكُمْ بِهِ جَهْرًا وَفِي كُلِّ بَيْتٍ،

how I didn’t shrink from declaring to you anything that was profitable, teaching you publicly and from house to house,

٢١ 21 شَاهِدًا لِلْيَهُودِ وَٱلْيُونَانِيِّينَ بِٱلتَّوْبَةِ إِلَى ٱللهِ وَٱلْإِيمَانِ ٱلَّذِي بِرَبِّنَا يَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ.

testifying both to Jews and to Greeks repentance towards God and faith towards our Lord Yeshua.

٢٢ 22 وَٱلْآنَ هَا أَنَا أَذْهَبُ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ مُقَيَّدًا بِٱلرُّوحِ، لَا أَعْلَمُ مَاذَا يُصَادِفُنِي هُنَاكَ.

Now, behold, I go bound by the Spirit to Jerusalem, not knowing what will happen to me there;

٢٣ 23 غَيْرَ أَنَّ ٱلرُّوحَ ٱلْقُدُسَ يَشْهَدُ فِي كُلِّ مَدِينَةٍ قَائِلًا: إِنَّ وُثُقًا وَشَدَائِدَ تَنْتَظِرُنِي.

except that the Holy Spirit testifies in every city, saying that bonds and afflictions wait for me.

٢٤ 24 وَلَكِنَّنِي لَسْتُ أَحْتَسِبُ لِشَيْءٍ، وَلَا نَفْسِي ثَمِينَةٌ عِنْدِي، حَتَّى أُتَمِّمَ بِفَرَحٍ سَعْيِي وَٱلْخِدْمَةَ ٱلَّتِي أَخَذْتُهَا مِنَ ٱلرَّبِّ يَسُوعَ، لِأَشْهَدَ بِبِشَارَةِ نِعْمَةِ ٱللهِ.

But these things don’t count; nor do I hold my life dear to myself, so that I may finish my race with joy, and the ministry which I received from the Lord Yeshua, to fully testify to the Good News of the grace of God.

٢٥ 25 وَٱلْآنَ هَا أَنَا أَعْلَمُ أَنَّكُمْ لَا تَرَوْنَ وَجْهِي أَيْضًا، أَنْتُمْ جَمِيعًا ٱلَّذِينَ مَرَرْتُ بَيْنَكُمْ كَارِزًا بِمَلَكُوتِ ٱللهِ.

“Now, behold, I know that you all, amongst whom I went about proclaiming God’s Kingdom, will see my face no more.

٢٦ 26 لِذَلِكَ أُشْهِدُكُمُ ٱلْيَوْمَ هَذَا أَنِّي بَرِيءٌ مِنْ دَمِ ٱلْجَمِيعِ،

Therefore I testify to you today that I am clean from the blood of all men,

٢٧ 27 لِأَنِّي لَمْ أُؤَخِّرْ أَنْ أُخْبِرَكُمْ بِكُلِّ مَشُورَةِ ٱللهِ.

for I didn’t shrink from declaring to you the whole counsel of God.

٢٨ 28 اِحْتَرِزُوا إِذًا لِأَنْفُسِكُمْ وَلِجَمِيعِ ٱلرَّعِيَّةِ ٱلَّتِي أَقَامَكُمُ ٱلرُّوحُ ٱلْقُدُسُ فِيهَا أَسَاقِفَةً، لِتَرْعَوْا كَنِيسَةَ ٱللهِ ٱلَّتِي ٱقْتَنَاهَا بِدَمِهِ.

Take heed, therefore, to yourselves and to all the flock, in which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to shepherd the assembly of the Lord and God which he purchased with his own blood.

٢٩ 29 لِأَنِّي أَعْلَمُ هَذَا: أَنَّهُ بَعْدَ ذَهَابِي سَيَدْخُلُ بَيْنَكُمْ ذِئَابٌ خَاطِفَةٌ لَا تُشْفِقُ عَلَى ٱلرَّعِيَّةِ.

For I know that after my departure, vicious wolves will enter in amongst you, not sparing the flock.

٣٠ 30 وَمِنْكُمْ أَنْتُمْ سَيَقُومُ رِجَالٌ يَتَكَلَّمُونَ بِأُمُورٍ مُلْتَوِيَةٍ لِيَجْتَذِبُوا ٱلتَّلَامِيذَ وَرَاءَهُمْ.

Men will arise from amongst your own selves, speaking perverse things, to draw away the disciples after them.

٣١ 31 لِذَلِكَ ٱسْهَرُوا، مُتَذَكِّرِينَ أَنِّي ثَلَاثَ سِنِينَ لَيْلًا وَنَهَارًا، لَمْ أَفْتُرْ عَنْ أَنْ أُنْذِرَ بِدُمُوعٍ كُلَّ وَاحِدٍ.

Therefore watch, remembering that for a period of three years I didn’t cease to admonish everyone night and day with tears.

٣٢ 32 وَٱلْآنَ أَسْتَوْدِعُكُمْ يَا إِخْوَتِي لِلهِ وَلِكَلِمَةِ نِعْمَتِهِ، ٱلْقَادِرَةِ أَنْ تَبْنِيَكُمْ وَتُعْطِيَكُمْ مِيرَاثًا مَعَ جَمِيعِ ٱلْمُقَدَّسِينَ.

Now, brothers, I entrust you to God and to the word of his grace, which is able to build up and to give you the inheritance amongst all those who are sanctified.

٣٣ 33 فِضَّةَ أَوْ ذَهَبَ أَوْ لِبَاسَ أَحَدٍ لَمْ أَشْتَهِ.

I coveted no one’s silver, gold, or clothing.

٣٤ 34 أَنْتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ أَنَّ حَاجَاتِي وَحَاجَاتِ ٱلَّذِينَ مَعِي خَدَمَتْهَا هَاتَانِ ٱلْيَدَانِ.

You yourselves know that these hands served my necessities, and those who were with me.

٣٥ 35 فِي كُلِّ شَيْءٍ أَرَيْتُكُمْ أَنَّهُ هَكَذَا يَنْبَغِي أَنَّكُمْ تَتْعَبُونَ وَتَعْضُدُونَ ٱلضُّعَفَاءَ، مُتَذَكِّرِينَ كَلِمَاتِ ٱلرَّبِّ يَسُوعَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: مَغْبُوطٌ هُوَ ٱلْعَطَاءُ أَكْثَرُ مِنَ ٱلْأَخْذِ».

In all things I gave you an example, that so labouring you ought to help the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Yeshua, that he himself said, ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’”

٣٦ 36 وَلَمَّا قَالَ هَذَا جَثَا عَلَى رُكْبَتَيْهِ مَعَ جَمِيعِهِمْ وَصَلَّى.

When he had spoken these things, he knelt down and prayed with them all.

٣٧ 37 وَكَانَ بُكَاءٌ عَظِيمٌ مِنَ ٱلْجَمِيعِ، وَوَقَعُوا عَلَى عُنُقِ بُولُسَ يُقَبِّلُونَهُ

They all wept freely, and fell on Paul’s neck and kissed him,

٣٨ 38 مُتَوَجِّعِينَ، وَلَا سِيَّمَا مِنَ ٱلْكَلِمَةِ ٱلَّتِي قَالَهَا: إِنَّهُمْ لَنْ يَرَوْا وَجْهَهُ أَيْضًا. ثُمَّ شَيَّعُوهُ إِلَى ٱلسَّفِينَةِ.

sorrowing most of all because of the word which he had spoken, that they should see his face no more. Then they accompanied him to the ship.
