أعمال 24
| وَبَعْدَ خَمْسَةِ أَيَّامٍ ٱنْحَدَرَ حَنَانِيَّا رَئِيسُ ٱلْكَهَنَةِ مَعَ ٱلشُّيُوخِ وَخَطِيبٍ ٱسْمُهُ تَرْتُلُّسُ. فَعَرَضُوا لِلْوَالِي ضِدَّ بُولُسَ. | ١ 1 |
Then, after five days, the high priest Ananias came down with some of the elders and a certain Tertullus, a speaker. And they went to the governor against Paul.
| فَلَمَّا دُعِيَ، ٱبْتَدَأَ تَرْتُلُّسُ فِي ٱلشِّكَايَةِ قَائِلًا: | ٢ 2 |
And having summoned Paul, Tertullus began to accuse him, saying: “Most excellent Felix, since we have much peace through you, and many things may be corrected by your providence,
| «إِنَّنَا حَاصِلُونَ بِوَاسِطَتِكَ عَلَى سَلَامٍ جَزِيلٍ، وَقَدْ صَارَتْ لِهَذِهِ ٱلْأُمَّةِ مَصَالِحُ بِتَدْبِيرِكَ. فَنَقْبَلُ ذَلِكَ أَيُّهَا ٱلْعَزِيزُ فِيلِكْسُ بِكُلِّ شُكْرٍ فِي كُلِّ زَمَانٍ وَكُلِّ مَكَانٍ. | ٣ 3 |
we acknowledge this, always and everywhere, with acts of thanksgiving for everything.
| وَلَكِنْ لِئَلَّا أُعَوِّقَكَ أَكْثَرَ، أَلْتَمِسُ أَنْ تَسْمَعَنَا بِٱلِٱخْتِصَارِ بِحِلْمِكَ: | ٤ 4 |
But lest I speak at too great a length, I beg you, by your clemency, to listen to us briefly.
| فَإِنَّنَا إِذْ وَجَدْنَا هَذَا ٱلرَّجُلَ مُفْسِدًا وَمُهَيِّجَ فِتْنَةٍ بَيْنَ جَمِيعِ ٱلْيَهُودِ ٱلَّذِينَ فِي ٱلْمَسْكُونَةِ، وَمِقْدَامَ شِيعَةِ ٱلنَّاصِرِيِّينَ، | ٥ 5 |
We have found this man to be pestilent, to be inciting seditions among all the Jews in the entire world, and to be the author of the sedition of the sect of the Nazarenes.
| وَقَدْ شَرَعَ أَنْ يُنَجِّسَ ٱلْهَيْكَلَ أَيْضًا، أَمْسَكْنَاهُ وَأَرَدْنَا أَنْ نَحْكُمَ عَلَيْهِ حَسَبَ نَامُوسِنَا. | ٦ 6 |
And he has even been attempting to violate the temple. And having apprehended him, we wanted him to be judged according to our law.
| فَأَقْبَلَ لِيسِيَاسُ ٱلْأَمِيرُ بِعُنْفٍ شَدِيدٍ وَأَخَذَهُ مِنْ بَيْنِ أَيْدِينَا، | ٧ 7 |
But Lysias, the tribune, overwhelming us with great violence, snatched him away from our hands,
| وَأَمَرَ ٱلْمُشْتَكِينَ عَلَيْهِ أَنْ يَأْتُوا إِلَيْكَ. وَمِنْهُ يُمْكِنُكَ إِذَا فَحَصْتَ أَنْ تَعْلَمَ جَمِيعَ هَذِهِ ٱلْأُمُورِ ٱلَّتِي نَشْتَكِي بِهَا عَلَيْهِ». | ٨ 8 |
ordering his accusers to come to you. From them, you yourself will be able, by judging about all these things, to understand the reason that we accuse him.”
| ثُمَّ وَافَقَهُ ٱلْيَهُودُ أَيْضًا قَائِلِينَ: «إِنَّ هَذِهِ ٱلْأُمُورَ هَكَذَا». | ٩ 9 |
And then the Jews interjected, saying that these things were so.
| فَأَجَابَ بُولُسُ، إِذْ أَوْمَأَ إِلَيْهِ ٱلْوَالِي أَنْ يَتَكَلَّمَ: «إِنِّي إِذْ قَدْ عَلِمْتُ أَنَّكَ مُنْذُ سِنِينَ كَثِيرَةٍ قَاضٍ لِهَذِهِ ٱلْأُمَّةِ، أَحْتَجُّ عَمَّا فِي أَمْرِي بِأَكْثَرِ سُرُورٍ. | ١٠ 10 |
Then, since the governor had motioned for him to speak, Paul responded: “Knowing that you have been the judge over this nation for many years, I will give an explanation of myself with an honest soul.
| وَأَنْتَ قَادِرٌ أَنْ تَعْرِفَ أَنَّهُ لَيْسَ لِي أَكْثَرُ مِنِ ٱثْنَيْ عَشَرَ يَوْمًا مُنْذُ صَعِدْتُ لِأَسْجُدَ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ. | ١١ 11 |
For, as you may realize, it has only been twelve days since I went up to worship in Jerusalem.
| وَلَمْ يَجِدُونِي فِي ٱلْهَيْكَلِ أُحَاجُّ أَحَدًا أَوْ أَصْنَعُ تَجَمُّعًا مِنَ ٱلشَّعْبِ، وَلَا فِي ٱلْمَجَامِعِ وَلَا فِي ٱلْمَدِينَةِ. | ١٢ 12 |
And they did not find me in the temple arguing with anyone, nor causing a rally of the people: neither in the synagogues, nor in the city.
| وَلَا يَسْتَطِيعُونَ أَنْ يُثْبِتُوا مَا يَشْتَكُونَ بِهِ ٱلْآنَ عَلَيَّ. | ١٣ 13 |
And they are not able to prove to you the things about which they now accuse me.
| وَلَكِنَّنِي أُقِرُّ لَكَ بِهَذَا: أَنَّنِي حَسَبَ ٱلطَّرِيقِ ٱلَّذِي يَقُولُونَ لَهُ «شِيعَةٌ»، هَكَذَا أَعْبُدُ إِلَهَ آبَائِي، مُؤْمِنًا بِكُلِّ مَا هُوَ مَكْتُوبٌ فِي ٱلنَّامُوسِ وَٱلْأَنْبِيَاءِ. | ١٤ 14 |
But I confess this to you, that according to that sect, which they call a heresy, so do I serve my God and Father, believing all that is written in the Law and the Prophets,
| وَلِي رَجَاءٌ بِٱللهِ فِي مَا هُمْ أَيْضًا يَنْتَظِرُونَهُ: أَنَّهُ سَوْفَ تَكُونُ قِيَامَةٌ لِلْأَمْوَاتِ، ٱلْأَبْرَارِ وَٱلْأَثَمَةِ. | ١٥ 15 |
having a hope in God, which these others themselves also expect, that there will be a future resurrection of the just and the unjust.
| لِذَلِكَ أَنَا أَيْضًا أُدَرِّبُ نَفْسِي لِيَكُونَ لِي دَائِمًا ضَمِيرٌ بِلَا عَثْرَةٍ مِنْ نَحْوِ ٱللهِ وَٱلنَّاسِ. | ١٦ 16 |
And in this, I myself always strive to have a conscience that is lacking in any offense toward God and toward men.
| وَبَعْدَ سِنِينَ كَثِيرَةٍ جِئْتُ أَصْنَعُ صَدَقَاتٍ لِأُمَّتِي وَقَرَابِينَ. | ١٧ 17 |
Then, after many years, I went to my nation, bringing alms and offerings and vows,
| وَفِي ذَلِكَ وَجَدَنِي مُتَطَهِّرًا فِي ٱلْهَيْكَلِ، لَيْسَ مَعَ جَمْعٍ وَلَا مَعَ شَغَبٍ، قَوْمٌ هُمْ يَهُودٌ مِنْ أَسِيَّا، | ١٨ 18 |
through which I obtained purification in the temple: neither with a crowd, nor with a commotion.
| كَانَ يَنْبَغِي أَنْ يَحْضُرُوا لَدَيْكَ وَيَشْتَكُوا، إِنْ كَانَ لَهُمْ عَلَيَّ شَيْءٌ. | ١٩ 19 |
But certain Jews out of Asia are the ones who should have appeared before you to accuse me, if they have anything against me.
| أَوْ لِيَقُلْ هَؤُلَاءِ أَنْفُسُهُمْ مَاذَا وَجَدُوا فِيَّ مِنَ ٱلذَّنْبِ وَأَنَا قَائِمٌ أَمَامَ ٱلْمَجْمَعِ، | ٢٠ 20 |
Or let these ones here say if they have found in me any iniquity, while standing before the council.
| إِلَّا مِنْ جِهَةِ هَذَا ٱلْقَوْلِ ٱلْوَاحِدِ ٱلَّذِي صَرَخْتُ بِهِ وَاقِفًا بَيْنَهُمْ: أَنِّي مِنْ أَجْلِ قِيَامَةِ ٱلْأَمْوَاتِ أُحَاكَمُ مِنْكُمُ ٱلْيَوْمَ». | ٢١ 21 |
For while standing among them, I spoke out solely about this one matter: about the resurrection of the dead. It is about this that I am being judged today by you.”
| فَلَمَّا سَمِعَ هَذَا فِيلِكْسُ أَمْهَلَهُمْ، إِذْ كَانَ يَعْلَمُ بِأَكْثَرِ تَحْقِيقٍ أُمُورَ هَذَا ٱلطَّرِيقِ، قَائِلًا: «مَتَى ٱنْحَدَرَ لِيسِيَاسُ ٱلْأَمِيرُ أَفْحَصُ عَنْ أُمُورِكُمْ». | ٢٢ 22 |
Then Felix, after having ascertained much knowledge about this Way, kept them waiting, by saying, “When Lysias the tribune has arrived, I will give you a hearing.”
| وَأَمَرَ قَائِدَ ٱلْمِئَةِ أَنْ يُحْرَسَ بُولُسُ، وَتَكُونَ لَهُ رُخْصَةٌ، وَأَنْ لَا يَمْنَعَ أَحَدًا مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ أَنْ يَخْدِمَهُ أَوْ يَأْتِيَ إِلَيْهِ. | ٢٣ 23 |
And he ordered a centurion to guard him, and to take rest, and not to prohibit any of his own from ministering to him.
| ثُمَّ بَعْدَ أَيَّامٍ جَاءَ فِيلِكْسُ مَعَ دُرُوسِّلَا ٱمْرَأَتِهِ، وَهِيَ يَهُودِيَّةٌ. فَٱسْتَحْضَرَ بُولُسَ وَسَمِعَ مِنْهُ عَنِ ٱلْإِيمَانِ بِٱلْمَسِيحِ. | ٢٤ 24 |
Then, after some days, Felix, arriving with his wife Drusilla who was a Jew, called for Paul and listened to him about the faith that is in Christ Jesus.
| وَبَيْنَمَا كَانَ يَتَكَلَّمُ عَنِ ٱلْبِرِّ وَٱلتَّعَفُّفِ وَٱلدَّيْنُونَةِ ٱلْعَتِيدَةِ أَنْ تَكُونَ، ٱرْتَعَبَ فِيلِكْسُ، وَأَجَابَ: «أَمَّا ٱلْآنَ فَٱذْهَبْ، وَمَتَى حَصَلْتُ عَلَى وَقْتٍ أَسْتَدْعِيكَ». | ٢٥ 25 |
And after he discoursed about justice and chastity, and about the future judgment, Felix was trembling, and he responded: “For now, go, but remain under guard. Then, at an opportune time, I will summon you.”
| وَكَانَ أَيْضًا يَرْجُو أَنْ يُعْطِيَهُ بُولُسُ دَرَاهِمَ لِيُطْلِقَهُ، وَلِذَلِكَ كَانَ يَسْتَحْضِرُهُ مِرَارًا أَكْثَرَ وَيَتَكَلَّمُ مَعَهُ. | ٢٦ 26 |
He was also hoping that money might be given to him by Paul, and because of this, he frequently summoned him and spoke with him.
| وَلَكِنْ لَمَّا كَمِلَتْ سَنَتَانِ، قَبِلَ فِيلِكْسُ بُورْكِيُوسَ فَسْتُوسَ خَلِيفَةً لَهُ. وَإِذْ كَانَ فِيلِكْسُ يُرِيدُ أَنْ يُودِعَ ٱلْيَهُودَ مِنَّةً، تَرَكَ بُولُسَ مُقَيَّدًا. | ٢٧ 27 |
Then, when two years had passed, Felix was succeeded by Portius Festus. And since Felix wanted to show particular favor to the Jews, he left Paul behind as a prisoner.
