أعمال 26
| فَقَالَ أَغْرِيبَاسُ لِبُولُسَ: «مَأْذُونٌ لَكَ أَنْ تَتَكَلَّمَ لِأَجْلِ نَفْسِكَ». حِينَئِذٍ بَسَطَ بُولُسُ يَدَهُ وَجَعَلَ يَحْتَجُّ: | ١ 1 |
Then Agrippa said to Paul, It is granted to you to speak for yourself. Then Paul, stretching forth his hand, made his defense.
| «إِنِّي أَحْسِبُ نَفْسِي سَعِيدًا أَيُّهَا ٱلْمَلِكُ أَغْرِيبَاسُ، إِذْ أَنَا مُزْمِعٌ أَنْ أَحْتَجَّ ٱلْيَوْمَ لَدَيْكَ عَنْ كُلِّ مَا يُحَاكِمُنِي بِهِ ٱلْيَهُودُ. | ٢ 2 |
I esteem myself happy, King Agrippa, that I am this day to make my defense before you, concerning all those things of which I am accused by the Jews;
| لَا سِيَّمَا وَأَنْتَ عَالِمٌ بِجَمِيعِ ٱلْعَوَائِدِ وَٱلْمَسَائِلِ ٱلَّتِي بَيْنَ ٱلْيَهُودِ. لِذَلِكَ أَلْتَمِسُ مِنْكَ أَنْ تَسْمَعَنِي بِطُولِ ٱلْأَنَاةِ. | ٣ 3 |
especially as you are acquainted with all the customs and questions among the Jews: wherefore, I entreat you, that you will hear me with patience.
| فَسِيرَتِي مُنْذُ حَدَاثَتِي ٱلَّتِي مِنَ ٱلْبُدَاءَةِ كَانَتْ بَيْنَ أُمَّتِي فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ يَعْرِفُهَا جَمِيعُ ٱلْيَهُودِ، | ٤ 4 |
The manner of my life, from my youth, which, from the beginning, was spent among my own nation, in Jerusalem, is known to all the Jews;
| عَالِمِينَ بِي مِنَ ٱلْأَوَّلِ، إِنْ أَرَادُوا أَنْ يَشْهَدُوا، أَنِّي حَسَبَ مَذْهَبِ عِبَادَتِنَا ٱلْأَضْيَقِ عِشْتُ فَرِّيسِيًّا. | ٥ 5 |
who knew me from the first, (if they would testify, ) that, according to the strictest sect of our religion, I lived a Pharisee.
| وَٱلْآنَ أَنَا وَاقِفٌ أُحَاكَمُ عَلَى رَجَاءِ ٱلْوَعْدِ ٱلَّذِي صَارَ مِنَ ٱللهِ لِآبَائِنَا، | ٦ 6 |
And now I stand in judgment for the hope of that promise, which was made by God to our fathers:
| ٱلَّذِي أَسْبَاطُنَا ٱلِٱثْنَا عَشَرَ يَرْجُونَ نَوَالَهُ، عَابِدِينَ بِٱلْجَهْدِ لَيْلًا وَنَهَارًا. فَمِنْ أَجْلِ هَذَا ٱلرَّجَاءِ أَنَا أُحَاكَمُ مِنَ ٱلْيَهُودِ أَيُّهَا ٱلْمَلِكُ أَغْرِيبَاسُ. | ٧ 7 |
to which promise, our twelve tribes, worshiping continually, night and day, hope to attain: concerning which hope, King Agrippa, I am accused by the Jews.
| لِمَاذَا يُعَدُّ عِنْدَكُمْ أَمْرًا لَا يُصَدَّقُ إِنْ أَقَامَ ٱللهُ أَمْوَاتًا؟ | ٨ 8 |
Why should it be judged an incredible thing, by you, that God should raise the dead?
| فَأَنَا ٱرْتَأَيْتُ فِي نَفْسِي أَنَّهُ يَنْبَغِي أَنْ أَصْنَعَ أُمُورًا كَثِيرَةً مُضَادَّةً لِٱسْمِ يَسُوعَ ٱلنَّاصِرِيِّ. | ٩ 9 |
I, indeed, thought with myself, that I ought to do many things contrary to the name of Jesus, the Nazarene.
| وَفَعَلْتُ ذَلِكَ أَيْضًا فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ، فَحَبَسْتُ فِي سُجُونٍ كَثِيرِينَ مِنَ ٱلْقِدِّيسِينَ، آخِذًا ٱلسُّلْطَانَ مِنْ قِبَلِ رُؤَسَاءِ ٱلْكَهَنَةِ. وَلَمَّا كَانُوا يُقْتَلُونَ أَلْقَيْتُ قُرْعَةً بِذَلِكَ. | ١٠ 10 |
Which, accordingly, I did in Jerusalem; and I shut up many of the saints in prison, having received authority from the chief priests. And when some of them were killed, I gave my vote against them:
| وَفِي كُلِّ ٱلْمَجَامِعِ كُنْتُ أُعَاقِبُهُمْ مِرَارًا كَثِيرَةً، وَأَضْطَرُّهُمْ إِلَى ٱلتَّجْدِيفِ. وَإِذْ أَفْرَطَ حَنَقِي عَلَيْهِمْ كُنْتُ أَطْرُدُهُمْ إِلَى ٱلْمُدُنِ ٱلَّتِي فِي ٱلْخَارِجِ. | ١١ 11 |
and frequently punishing them in all the synagogues, I compelled them to blaspheme: and being exceedingly mad against them, I persecuted them even to foreign cities.
| «وَلَمَّا كُنْتُ ذَاهِبًا فِي ذَلِكَ إِلَى دِمَشْقَ، بِسُلْطَانٍ وَوَصِيَّةٍ مِنْ رُؤَسَاءِ ٱلْكَهَنَةِ، | ١٢ 12 |
With this view, I was going to Damascus, with authority and commission from the chief priests;
| رَأَيْتُ فِي نِصْفِ ٱلنَّهَارِ فِي ٱلطَّرِيقِ، أَيُّهَا ٱلْمَلِكُ، نُورًا مِنَ ٱلسَّمَاءِ أَفْضَلَ مِنْ لَمَعَانِ ٱلشَّمْسِ، قَدْ أَبْرَقَ حَوْلِي وَحَوْلَ ٱلذَّاهِبِينَ مَعِي. | ١٣ 13 |
at mid-day, on the road, King Agrippa, I saw a light from heaven, exceeding the splendor of the sun, shining about me, and those who traveled with me.
| فَلَمَّا سَقَطْنَا جَمِيعُنَا عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ، سَمِعْتُ صَوْتًا يُكَلِّمُنِي وَيَقُولُ بِٱللُّغَةِ ٱلْعِبْرَانِيَّةِ: شَاوُلُ، شَاوُلُ! لِمَاذَا تَضْطَهِدُنِي؟ صَعْبٌ عَلَيْكَ أَنْ تَرْفُسَ مَنَاخِسَ. | ١٤ 14 |
And when we were all fallen down to the earth, I heard a voice speaking to me, and saying, in the Hebrew language, Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me? It is hard for you to kick against the goads.
| فَقُلْتُ أَنَا: مَنْ أَنْتَ يَا سَيِّدُ؟ فَقَالَ: أَنَا يَسُوعُ ٱلَّذِي أَنْتَ تَضْطَهِدُهُ. | ١٥ 15 |
And I said, Who art thou, Lord? And he said, I am Jesus, whom you persecute.
| وَلَكِنْ قُمْ وَقِفْ عَلَى رِجْلَيْكَ لِأَنِّي لِهَذَا ظَهَرْتُ لَكَ، لِأَنْتَخِبَكَ خَادِمًا وَشَاهِدًا بِمَا رَأَيْتَ وَبِمَا سَأَظْهَرُ لَكَ بِهِ، | ١٦ 16 |
But arise, and stand upon your feet, for to this purpose I have appeared to you, to ordain you a minister and a witness, both of the things which you have seen, and of those which I will hereafter show you:
| مُنْقِذًا إِيَّاكَ مِنَ ٱلشَّعْبِ وَمِنَ ٱلْأُمَمِ ٱلَّذِينَ أَنَا ٱلْآنَ أُرْسِلُكَ إِلَيْهِمْ، | ١٧ 17 |
delivering you from the people, and from the Gentiles; to whom I now send you--
| لِتَفْتَحَ عُيُونَهُمْ كَيْ يَرْجِعُوا مِنْ ظُلُمَاتٍ إِلَى نُورٍ، وَمِنْ سُلْطَانِ ٱلشَّيْطَانِ إِلَى ٱللهِ، حَتَّى يَنَالُوا بِٱلْإِيمَانِ بِي غُفْرَانَ ٱلْخَطَايَا وَنَصِيبًا مَعَ ٱلْمُقَدَّسِينَ. | ١٨ 18 |
to open their eyes, to turn them from darkness to light, and from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God; that they may receive forgiveness of sons, and an inheritance amongst the sanctified, through faith in me.
| «مِنْ ثَمَّ أَيُّهَا ٱلْمَلِكُ أَغْرِيبَاسُ لَمْ أَكُنْ مُعَانِدًا لِلرُّؤْيَا ٱلسَّمَاوِيَّةِ، | ١٩ 19 |
From that time, King Agrippa, I was not disobedient to the heavenly vision:
| بَلْ أَخْبَرْتُ أَوَّلًا ٱلَّذِينَ فِي دِمَشْقَ، وَفِي أُورُشَلِيمَ حَتَّى جَمِيعِ كُورَةِ ٱلْيَهُودِيَّةِ، ثُمَّ ٱلْأُمَمَ، أَنْ يَتُوبُوا وَيَرْجِعُوا إِلَى ٱللهِ عَامِلِينَ أَعْمَالًا تَلِيقُ بِٱلتَّوْبَةِ. | ٢٠ 20 |
but declared, first to them at Damascus, and at Jerusalem, and through all the country of Judea; and then to the Gentiles, that they should reform, and return to God, performing deeds worthy of reformation.
| مِنْ أَجْلِ ذَلِكَ أَمْسَكَنِي ٱلْيَهُودُ فِي ٱلْهَيْكَلِ وَشَرَعُوا فِي قَتْلِي. | ٢١ 21 |
On account of these things, the Jews seizing me in the temple, attempted to have killed me with their own hands.
| فَإِذْ حَصَلْتُ عَلَى مَعُونَةٍ مِنَ ٱللهِ، بَقِيتُ إِلَى هَذَا ٱلْيَوْمِ، شَاهِدًا لِلصَّغِيرِ وَٱلْكَبِيرِ. وَأَنَا لَا أَقُولُ شَيْئًا غَيْرَ مَا تَكَلَّمَ ٱلْأَنْبِيَاءُ وَمُوسَى أَنَّهُ عَتِيدٌ أَنْ يَكُونَ: | ٢٢ 22 |
Having, therefore, obtained help from God, I continue, till this day, testifying both to small and great, saying nothing but what the prophets and Moses have declared would be;
| إِنْ يُؤَلَّمِ ٱلْمَسِيحُ، يَكُنْ هُوَ أَوَّلَ قِيَامَةِ ٱلْأَمْوَاتِ، مُزْمِعًا أَنْ يُنَادِيَ بِنُورٍ لِلشَّعْبِ وَلِلْأُمَمِ». | ٢٣ 23 |
that the Messiah would be a sufferer--would be first of a resurrection from the dead--would give light to the people, and to the Gentiles.
| وَبَيْنَمَا هُوَ يَحْتَجُّ بِهَذَا، قَالَ فَسْتُوسُ بِصَوْتٍ عَظِيمٍ: «أَنْتَ تَهْذِي يَا بُولُسُ! ٱلْكُتُبُ ٱلْكَثِيرَةُ تُحَوِّلُكَ إِلَى ٱلْهَذَيَانِ!». | ٢٤ 24 |
And as he was thus making his defense, Festus said, with a loud voice, Paul, you are distracted: much learning drives you to madness.
| فَقَالَ: «لَسْتُ أَهْذِي أَيُّهَا ٱلْعَزِيزُ فَسْتُوسُ، بَلْ أَنْطِقُ بِكَلِمَاتِ ٱلصِّدْقِ وَٱلصَّحْوِ. | ٢٥ 25 |
But he replied, I am not mad, most noble Festus, but utter the words of truth and soberness.
| لِأَنَّهُ مِنْ جِهَةِ هَذِهِ ٱلْأُمُورِ، عَالِمٌ ٱلْمَلِكُ ٱلَّذِي أُكَلِّمُهُ جِهَارًا، إِذْ أَنَا لَسْتُ أُصَدِّقُ أَنْ يَخْفَى عَلَيْهِ شَيْءٌ مِنْ ذَلِكَ، لِأَنَّ هَذَا لَمْ يُفْعَلْ فِي زَاوِيَةٍ. | ٢٦ 26 |
For the king knows of these things; to whom, also, I speak with freedom: for I am persuaded none of these things are hid from him, for this was not done in a corner.
| أَتُؤْمِنُ أَيُّهَا ٱلْمَلِكُ أَغْرِيبَاسُ بِٱلْأَنْبِيَاءِ؟ أَنَا أَعْلَمُ أَنَّكَ تُؤْمِنُ». | ٢٧ 27 |
King Agrippa! do you believe the prophets? I know that you believe.
| فَقَالَ أَغْرِيبَاسُ لِبُولُسَ: «بِقَلِيلٍ تُقْنِعُنِي أَنْ أَصِيرَ مَسِيحِيًّا!». | ٢٨ 28 |
Then Agrippa said to Paul, You almost persuade me to be a Christian.
| فَقَالَ بُولُسُ: «كُنْتُ أُصَلِّي إِلَى ٱللهِ أَنَّهُ بِقَلِيلٍ وَبِكَثِيرٍ، لَيْسَ أَنْتَ فَقَطْ، بَلْ أَيْضًا جَمِيعُ ٱلَّذِينَ يَسْمَعُونَنِي ٱلْيَوْمَ، يَصِيرُونَ هَكَذَا كَمَا أَنَا، مَا خَلَا هَذِهِ ٱلْقُيُودَ». | ٢٩ 29 |
And Paul said, I would to God that, not only you, but also all that hear me this day, were both almost and altogether such as I am, except these chains.
| فَلَمَّا قَالَ هَذَا قَامَ ٱلْمَلِكُ وَٱلْوَالِي وَبَرْنِيكِي وَٱلْجَالِسُونَ مَعَهُمْ، | ٣٠ 30 |
And as he said this, the king arose, and the governor, and Bernice, and those who sat with them.
| وَٱنْصَرَفُوا وَهُمْ يُكَلِّمُونَ بَعْضُهُمْ بَعْضًا قَائِلِينَ: «إِنَّ هَذَا ٱلْإِنْسَانَ لَيْسَ يَفْعَلُ شَيْئًا يَسْتَحِقُّ ٱلْمَوْتَ أَوِ ٱلْقُيُودَ». | ٣١ 31 |
And when they had retired, they spoke one with another, saying, This man has done nothing worthy of death, or of bonds.
| وَقَالَ أَغْرِيبَاسُ لِفَسْتُوسَ: «كَانَ يُمْكِنُ أَنْ يُطْلَقَ هَذَا ٱلْإِنْسَانُ لَوْ لَمْ يَكُنْ قَدْ رَفَعَ دَعْوَاهُ إِلَى قَيْصَرَ». | ٣٢ 32 |
And Agrippa said to Festus, This man might have been set at liberty, if he had not appealed to Cesar.
