أعمال 24
| وَبَعْدَ خَمْسَةِ أَيَّامٍ ٱنْحَدَرَ حَنَانِيَّا رَئِيسُ ٱلْكَهَنَةِ مَعَ ٱلشُّيُوخِ وَخَطِيبٍ ٱسْمُهُ تَرْتُلُّسُ. فَعَرَضُوا لِلْوَالِي ضِدَّ بُولُسَ. | ١ 1 |
And after five days, Ananias the high priest, with the Elders, and with Tertullus the orator, went down, and made a communication to the governor against Paul.
| فَلَمَّا دُعِيَ، ٱبْتَدَأَ تَرْتُلُّسُ فِي ٱلشِّكَايَةِ قَائِلًا: | ٢ 2 |
And when he had been called, Tertullus began to accuse him, and to say:
| «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 |
Through thee, we dwell in much tranquillity; and many reforms have come to this nation, under thy administration; and we all, in every place, receive thy grace, excellent Felix.
| وَلَكِنْ لِئَلَّا أُعَوِّقَكَ أَكْثَرَ، أَلْتَمِسُ أَنْ تَسْمَعَنَا بِٱلِٱخْتِصَارِ بِحِلْمِكَ: | ٤ 4 |
But, not to weary thee with numerous particulars, I pray thee to hear our humbleness, in brief.
| فَإِنَّنَا إِذْ وَجَدْنَا هَذَا ٱلرَّجُلَ مُفْسِدًا وَمُهَيِّجَ فِتْنَةٍ بَيْنَ جَمِيعِ ٱلْيَهُودِ ٱلَّذِينَ فِي ٱلْمَسْكُونَةِ، وَمِقْدَامَ شِيعَةِ ٱلنَّاصِرِيِّينَ، | ٥ 5 |
For we have found this man to be an assassin, and a mover of sedition among all Jews in the whole land: for he is a ringleader of the sect of the Nazareans.
| وَقَدْ شَرَعَ أَنْ يُنَجِّسَ ٱلْهَيْكَلَ أَيْضًا، أَمْسَكْنَاهُ وَأَرَدْنَا أَنْ نَحْكُمَ عَلَيْهِ حَسَبَ نَامُوسِنَا. | ٦ 6 |
And he was disposed to pollute our temple. And having seized him we wished to judge him according to our law.
| فَأَقْبَلَ لِيسِيَاسُ ٱلْأَمِيرُ بِعُنْفٍ شَدِيدٍ وَأَخَذَهُ مِنْ بَيْنِ أَيْدِينَا، | ٧ 7 |
But Lysias the Chiliarch came, and with great violence took him out of our hands, and sent him to thee.
| وَأَمَرَ ٱلْمُشْتَكِينَ عَلَيْهِ أَنْ يَأْتُوا إِلَيْكَ. وَمِنْهُ يُمْكِنُكَ إِذَا فَحَصْتَ أَنْ تَعْلَمَ جَمِيعَ هَذِهِ ٱلْأُمُورِ ٱلَّتِي نَشْتَكِي بِهَا عَلَيْهِ». | ٨ 8 |
And he commanded his accusers to come before thee. And if thou wilt interrogate him, thou canst learn from him respecting all these things of which we accuse him.
| ثُمَّ وَافَقَهُ ٱلْيَهُودُ أَيْضًا قَائِلِينَ: «إِنَّ هَذِهِ ٱلْأُمُورَ هَكَذَا». | ٩ 9 |
And the Jews also pleaded against him, 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 the governor made signs to Paul, that he should speak. And Paul answered and said: I know thee to have been a judge of this nation for many years, and I therefore cheerfully enter upon a defence of myself.
| وَأَنْتَ قَادِرٌ أَنْ تَعْرِفَ أَنَّهُ لَيْسَ لِي أَكْثَرُ مِنِ ٱثْنَيْ عَشَرَ يَوْمًا مُنْذُ صَعِدْتُ لِأَسْجُدَ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ. | ١١ 11 |
Because thou canst understand, that there have been but twelve days, since I went up to Jerusalem to worship.
| 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 talking with any person in the temple, nor collecting any company, either in their synagogues, or in the city.
| وَلَا يَسْتَطِيعُونَ أَنْ يُثْبِتُوا مَا يَشْتَكُونَ بِهِ ٱلْآنَ عَلَيَّ. | ١٣ 13 |
Nor have they the power to prove, before thee, the things of 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 this indeed I acknowledge, that in that same doctrine of which they speak, I do serve the God of my fathers, believing all the things written in the law and in the prophets.
| وَلِي رَجَاءٌ بِٱللهِ فِي مَا هُمْ أَيْضًا يَنْتَظِرُونَهُ: أَنَّهُ سَوْفَ تَكُونُ قِيَامَةٌ لِلْأَمْوَاتِ، ٱلْأَبْرَارِ وَٱلْأَثَمَةِ. | ١٥ 15 |
And I have a hope in God, which they also themselves expect, that there is to be a resurrection of the dead, both of the righteous and the wicked.
| لِذَلِكَ أَنَا أَيْضًا أُدَرِّبُ نَفْسِي لِيَكُونَ لِي دَائِمًا ضَمِيرٌ بِلَا عَثْرَةٍ مِنْ نَحْوِ ٱللهِ وَٱلنَّاسِ. | ١٦ 16 |
And for this reason, I also labor to have always a pure conscience before God, and before men.
| وَبَعْدَ سِنِينَ كَثِيرَةٍ جِئْتُ أَصْنَعُ صَدَقَاتٍ لِأُمَّتِي وَقَرَابِينَ. | ١٧ 17 |
And, after many years, I came to the people of my own nation, to impart alms, and to present an offering.
| وَفِي ذَلِكَ وَجَدَنِي مُتَطَهِّرًا فِي ٱلْهَيْكَلِ، لَيْسَ مَعَ جَمْعٍ وَلَا مَعَ شَغَبٍ، قَوْمٌ هُمْ يَهُودٌ مِنْ أَسِيَّا، | ١٨ 18 |
And when I had purified myself, these men found me in the temple; not with a throng, nor with a tumult. But certain Jews, who came from Asia, were tumultuous;
| كَانَ يَنْبَغِي أَنْ يَحْضُرُوا لَدَيْكَ وَيَشْتَكُوا، إِنْ كَانَ لَهُمْ عَلَيَّ شَيْءٌ. | ١٩ 19 |
who ought, with me, to stand before thee, and make accusation of their own affair.
| أَوْ لِيَقُلْ هَؤُلَاءِ أَنْفُسُهُمْ مَاذَا وَجَدُوا فِيَّ مِنَ ٱلذَّنْبِ وَأَنَا قَائِمٌ أَمَامَ ٱلْمَجْمَعِ، | ٢٠ 20 |
Or let these here present say, whether they found any offence in me, when I stood before their assembly;
| إِلَّا مِنْ جِهَةِ هَذَا ٱلْقَوْلِ ٱلْوَاحِدِ ٱلَّذِي صَرَخْتُ بِهِ وَاقِفًا بَيْنَهُمْ: أَنِّي مِنْ أَجْلِ قِيَامَةِ ٱلْأَمْوَاتِ أُحَاكَمُ مِنْكُمُ ٱلْيَوْمَ». | ٢١ 21 |
except this one thing, that I cried, while standing in the midst of them: Concerning the resurrection of the dead, am I this day on trial before you.
| فَلَمَّا سَمِعَ هَذَا فِيلِكْسُ أَمْهَلَهُمْ، إِذْ كَانَ يَعْلَمُ بِأَكْثَرِ تَحْقِيقٍ أُمُورَ هَذَا ٱلطَّرِيقِ، قَائِلًا: «مَتَى ٱنْحَدَرَ لِيسِيَاسُ ٱلْأَمِيرُ أَفْحَصُ عَنْ أُمُورِكُمْ». | ٢٢ 22 |
And Felix, because he understood that way fully, deferred them, saying: When the Chiliarch shall come, I will give hearing between you.
| وَأَمَرَ قَائِدَ ٱلْمِئَةِ أَنْ يُحْرَسَ بُولُسُ، وَتَكُونَ لَهُ رُخْصَةٌ، وَأَنْ لَا يَمْنَعَ أَحَدًا مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ أَنْ يَخْدِمَهُ أَوْ يَأْتِيَ إِلَيْهِ. | ٢٣ 23 |
And he commanded a centurion to keep Paul, at rest; and that no one of his acquaintances should be forbidden to minister to him.
| ثُمَّ بَعْدَ أَيَّامٍ جَاءَ فِيلِكْسُ مَعَ دُرُوسِّلَا ٱمْرَأَتِهِ، وَهِيَ يَهُودِيَّةٌ. فَٱسْتَحْضَرَ بُولُسَ وَسَمِعَ مِنْهُ عَنِ ٱلْإِيمَانِ بِٱلْمَسِيحِ. | ٢٤ 24 |
And after a few days, Felix, and Drusilla his wife who was a Jewess, sent and called for Paul; and they heard him concerning faith in the Messiah.
| وَبَيْنَمَا كَانَ يَتَكَلَّمُ عَنِ ٱلْبِرِّ وَٱلتَّعَفُّفِ وَٱلدَّيْنُونَةِ ٱلْعَتِيدَةِ أَنْ تَكُونَ، ٱرْتَعَبَ فِيلِكْسُ، وَأَجَابَ: «أَمَّا ٱلْآنَ فَٱذْهَبْ، وَمَتَى حَصَلْتُ عَلَى وَقْتٍ أَسْتَدْعِيكَ». | ٢٥ 25 |
And while he was discoursing with them on righteousness, and on holiness, and on the future judgment, Felix was filled with fear; and he said: For the present time, go: and when I have opportunity, I will send for thee.
| وَكَانَ أَيْضًا يَرْجُو أَنْ يُعْطِيَهُ بُولُسُ دَرَاهِمَ لِيُطْلِقَهُ، وَلِذَلِكَ كَانَ يَسْتَحْضِرُهُ مِرَارًا أَكْثَرَ وَيَتَكَلَّمُ مَعَهُ. | ٢٦ 26 |
He hoped, moreover, that a present would be given him by Paul; and therefore, he often sent for him, and conversed 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 |
And when two years were fulfilled to him, another governor, whose name was Porcius Festus, came into his place. And Felix, that he might do the Jews a favor, left Paul a prisoner.
