< أعمال 27 >

فَلَمَّا ٱسْتَقَرَّ ٱلرَّأْيُ أَنْ نُسَافِرَ فِي ٱلْبَحْرِ إِلَى إِيطَالِيَا، سَلَّمُوا بُولُسَ وَأَسْرَى آخَرِينَ إِلَى قَائِدِ مِئَةٍ مِنْ كَتِيبَةِ أُوغُسْطُسَ ٱسْمُهُ يُولِيُوسُ. ١ 1
And as it was determined that we should set sail into Italy, they delivered Paul, and some other prisoners, to a centurions of the Augustan Band, whose name was Julius.
فَصَعِدْنَا إِلَى سَفِينَةٍ أَدْرَامِيتِينِيَّةٍ، وَأَقْلَعْنَا مُزْمِعِينَ أَنْ نُسَافِرَ مَارِّينَ بِٱلْمَوَاضِعِ ٱلَّتِي فِي أَسِيَّا. وَكَانَ مَعَنَا أَرِسْتَرْخُسُ، رَجُلٌ مَكِدُونِيٌّ مِنْ تَسَالُونِيكِي. ٢ 2
And going on board a ship of Adramyttis, we weighed anchor, intending to sail by the coasts of Asia; Aristarchus, a Macedonian, of Thessalonica, being with us.
وَفِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلْآخَرِ أَقْبَلْنَا إِلَى صَيْدَاءَ، فَعَامَلَ يُولِيُوسُ بُولُسَ بِٱلرِّفْقِ، وَأَذِنَ أَنْ يَذْهَبَ إِلَى أَصْدِقَائِهِ لِيَحْصُلَ عَلَى عِنَايَةٍ مِنْهُمْ. ٣ 3
And the next day we reached Sidon: and Julius, treating Paul with great humanity, permitted him to go to his friends, and to enjoy the benefit of their care.
ثُمَّ أَقْلَعْنَا مِنْ هُنَاكَ وَسَافَرْنَا فِي ٱلْبَحْرِ مِنْ تَحْتِ قُبْرُسَ، لِأَنَّ ٱلرِّيَاحَ كَانَتْ مُضَادَّةً. ٤ 4
And weighing anchor thence, we sailed under Cyprus, because the winds were contrary.
وَبَعْدَ مَا عَبَرْنَا ٱلْبَحْرَ ٱلَّذِي بِجَانِبِ كِيلِيكِيَّةَ وَبَمْفِيلِيَّةَ، نَزَلْنَا إِلَى مِيرَا لِيكِيَّةَ. ٥ 5
And sailing through the sea over against Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myra, a city of Lycia.
فَإِذْ وَجَدَ قَائِدُ ٱلْمِئَةِ هُنَاكَ سَفِينَةً إِسْكَنْدَرِيَّةً مُسَافِرَةً إِلَى إِيطَالِيَا أَدْخَلَنَا فِيهَا. ٦ 6
And there, the centurion, finding a ship of Alexandria, bound for italy, put us on board of it.
وَلَمَّا كُنَّا نُسَافِرُ رُوَيْدًا أَيَّامًا كَثِيرَةً، وَبِٱلْجَهْدِ صِرْنَا بِقُرْبِ كِنِيدُسَ، وَلَمْ تُمَكِّنَّا ٱلرِّيحُ أَكْثَرَ، سَافَرْنَا مِنْ تَحْتِ كِرِيتَ بِقُرْبِ سَلْمُونِي. ٧ 7
And when we had sailed slowly for several days, and were hardly got over against Cnidus, the wind now permitting us; we sailed under Crete, over against Salmone:
وَلَمَّا تَجَاوَزْنَاهَا بِٱلْجَهْدِ جِئْنَا إِلَى مَكَانٍ يُقَالُ لَهُ «ٱلْمَوَانِي ٱلْحَسَنَةُ» ٱلَّتِي بِقُرْبِهَا مَدِينَةُ لَسَائِيَةَ. ٨ 8
and passing it with difficulty, we came to a certain place called the Fair Havens, in the neighborhood of which, was the city of Lasea.
وَلَمَّا مَضَى زَمَانٌ طَوِيلٌ، وَصَارَ ٱلسَّفَرُ فِي ٱلْبَحْرِ خَطِرًا، إِذْ كَانَ ٱلصَّوْمُ أَيْضًا قَدْ مَضَى، جَعَلَ بُولُسُ يُنْذِرُهُمْ ٩ 9
And, as much time was spent, and sailing was now hazardous, because the fast was already over, Paul exhorted them,
قَائِلًا: «أَيُّهَا ٱلرِّجَالُ، أَنَا أَرَى أَنَّ هَذَا ٱلسَّفَرَ عَتِيدٌ أَنْ يَكُونَ بِضَرَرٍ وَخَسَارَةٍ كَثِيرَةٍ، لَيْسَ لِلشَّحْنِ وَٱلسَّفِينَةِ فَقَطْ، بَلْ لِأَنْفُسِنَا أَيْضًا». ١٠ 10
saying to them, Sirs, I perceive that this voyage will be attended with injury and great damage, not only to the lading and to the ship, but also to our lives.
وَلَكِنْ كَانَ قَائِدُ ٱلْمِئَةِ يَنْقَادُ إِلَى رُبَّانِ ٱلسَّفِينَةِ وَإِلَى صَاحِبِهَا أَكْثَرَ مِمَّا إِلَى قَوْلِ بُولُسَ. ١١ 11
But the centurion paid greater regard to the pilot, and the master of the vessel, than to those things which were spoken by Paul.
وَلِأَنَّ ٱلْمِينَا لَمْ يَكُنْ مَوْقِعُهَا صَالِحًا لِلْمَشْتَى، ٱسْتَقَرَّ رَأْيُ أَكْثَرِهِمْ أَنْ يُقْلِعُوا مِنْ هُنَاكَ أَيْضًا، عَسَى أَنْ يُمْكِنَهُمُ ٱلْإِقْبَالُ إِلَى فِينِكْسَ لِيَشْتُوا فِيهَا. وَهِيَ مِينَا فِي كِرِيتَ تَنْظُرُ نَحْوَ ٱلْجَنُوبِ وَٱلشَّمَالِ ٱلْغَرْبِيَّيْنِ. ١٢ 12
And as the haven was not commodious to winter in, the greater part advised to set sail from thence, if they might possibly reach Phenice, to winter there;
فَلَمَّا نَسَّمَتْ رِيحٌ جَنُوبٌ، ظَنُّوا أَنَّهُمْ قَدْ مَلَكُوا مَقْصَدَهُمْ، فَرَفَعُوا ٱلْمِرْسَاةَ وَطَفِقُوا يَتَجَاوَزُونَ كِرِيتَ عَلَى أَكْثَرِ قُرْبٍ. ١٣ 13
which is a haven of Crete, looking to the southwest and northwest: and as the south win blew gently, supposing they were secure of their purpose, they weighed anchor, and sailed on close to Crete.
وَلَكِنْ بَعْدَ قَلِيلٍ هَاجَتْ عَلَيْهَا رِيحٌ زَوْبَعِيَّةٌ يُقَالُ لَهَا «أُورُوكْلِيدُونُ». ١٤ 14
But not long after, there arose against her a tempestuous wind, which is called Euroclydon.
فَلَمَّا خُطِفَتِ ٱلسَّفِينَةُ وَلَمْ يُمْكِنْهَا أَنْ تُقَابِلَ ٱلرِّيحَ، سَلَّمْنَا، فَصِرْنَا نُحْمَلُ. ١٥ 15
And as the ship was violently hurried away, and was not able to bear up against the wind, we gave her up, and were driven.
فَجَرَيْنَا تَحْتَ جَزِيرَةٍ يُقَالُ لَهَا «كَلَوْدِي» وَبِٱلْجَهْدِ قَدِرْنَا أَنْ نَمْلِكَ ٱلْقَارِبَ. ١٦ 16
An running under a certain island, called Clauda, we were hardly able to get masters of the boat:
وَلَمَّا رَفَعُوهُ طَفِقُوا يَسْتَعْمِلُونَ مَعُونَاتٍ، حَازِمِينَ ٱلسَّفِينَةَ، وَإِذْ كَانُوا خَائِفِينَ أَنْ يَقَعُوا فِي ٱلسِّيرْتِسِ، أَنْزَلُوا ٱلْقُلُوعَ، وَهَكَذَا كَانُوا يُحْمَلُونَ. ١٧ 17
which, when they had hoisted up, they used helps, undergirding the ship: and fearing, lest they should fall upon the quicksands, they struck sail, and so were driven.
وَإِذْ كُنَّا فِي نَوْءٍ عَنِيفٍ، جَعَلُوا يُفَرِّغُونَ فِي ٱلْغَدِ. ١٨ 18
And we were exceedingly tossed by the storm, the next day they lightened the ship:
وَفِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلثَّالِثِ رَمَيْنَا بِأَيْدِينَا أَثَاثَ ٱلسَّفِينَةِ. ١٩ 19
and the third day we cast out, with our own hands, the tackling of the ship.
وَإِذْ لَمْ تَكُنِ ٱلشَّمْسُ وَلَا ٱلنُّجُومُ تَظْهَرُ أَيَّامًا كَثِيرَةً، وَٱشْتَدَّ عَلَيْنَا نَوْءٌ لَيْسَ بِقَلِيلٍ، ٱنْتُزِعَ أَخِيرًا كُلُّ رَجَاءٍ فِي نَجَاتِنَا. ٢٠ 20
Now, as neither sun nor stars appeared for several days, and no small tempest pressed upon us, all remainder of hope that we might be delivered, was taken away.
فَلَمَّا حَصَلَ صَوْمٌ كَثِيرٌ، حِينَئِذٍ وَقَفَ بُولُسُ فِي وَسْطِهِمْ وَقَالَ: «كَانَ يَنْبَغِي أَيُّهَا ٱلرِّجَالُ أَنْ تُذْعِنُوا لِي، وَلَا تُقْلِعُوا مِنْ كِرِيتَ، فَتَسْلَمُوا مِنْ هَذَا ٱلضَّرَرِ وَٱلْخَسَارَةِ. ٢١ 21
And when there was great want of food, then Paul, standing in the midst of them, said, Sirs, you ought to have hearkened to me, and not to have loosed from Crete, and incurred this injury and loss.
وَٱلْآنَ أُنْذِرُكُمْ أَنْ تُسَرُّوا، لِأَنَّهُ لَا تَكُونُ خَسَارَةُ نَفْسٍ وَاحِدَةٍ مِنْكُمْ، إِلَّا ٱلسَّفِينَةَ. ٢٢ 22
Nevertheless, even now I exhort you to be of good courage: for there shall be no loss of any life among you; but only of the ship.
لِأَنَّهُ وَقَفَ بِي هَذِهِ ٱللَّيْلَةَ مَلَاكُ ٱلْإِلَهِ ٱلَّذِي أَنَا لَهُ وَٱلَّذِي أَعْبُدُهُ، ٢٣ 23
For there appeared to me this night, an angel of the God whose I am, and whom I worship,
قَائِلًا: لَا تَخَفْ يَا بُولُسُ. يَنْبَغِي لَكَ أَنْ تَقِفَ أَمَامَ قَيْصَرَ. وَهُوَذَا قَدْ وَهَبَكَ ٱللهُ جَمِيعَ ٱلْمُسَافِرِينَ مَعَكَ. ٢٤ 24
saying, Fear not, Paul; you must be presented before Cesar; and, behold, God has given you all them that sail with you.
لِذَلِكَ سُرُّوا أَيُّهَا ٱلرِّجَالُ، لِأَنِّي أُومِنُ بِٱللهِ أَنَّهُ يَكُونُ هَكَذَا كَمَا قِيلَ لِي. ٢٥ 25
Wherefore, take courage, men; for I trust in God that it shall be so, even as it was told me.
وَلَكِنْ لَا بُدَّ أَنْ نَقَعَ عَلَى جَزِيرَةٍ». ٢٦ 26
But we must be cast upon a certain island.
فَلَمَّا كَانَتِ ٱللَّيْلَةُ ٱلرَّابِعَةَ عَشْرَةَ، وَنَحْنُ نُحْمَلُ تَائِهِينَ فِي بَحْرِ أَدْرِيَا، ظَنَّ ٱلنُّوتِيَّةُ، نَحْوَ نِصْفِ ٱللَّيْلِ، أَنَّهُمُ ٱقْتَرَبُوا إِلَى بَرٍّ. ٢٧ 27
And when the fourteenth night was come, as we were tossed up and down in the Adriatic sea, the mariners suspected, about midnight that they drew near to some land;
فَقَاسُوا وَوَجَدُوا عِشْرِينَ قَامَةً. وَلَمَّا مَضَوْا قَلِيلًا قَاسُوا أَيْضًا فَوَجَدُوا خَمْسَ عَشْرَةَ قَامَةً. ٢٨ 28
and sounding, they found it twenty fathoms: and having gone a little way from thence, and sounding again, they found it fifteen fathoms.
وَإِذْ كَانُوا يَخَافُونَ أَنْ يَقَعُوا عَلَى مَوَاضِعَ صَعْبَةٍ، رَمَوْا مِنَ ٱلْمُؤَخَّرِ أَرْبَعَ مَرَاسٍ، وَكَانُوا يَطْلُبُونَ أَنْ يَصِيرَ ٱلنَّهَارُ. ٢٩ 29
And fearing lest they should fall upon some rocky shore, they cast four anchors out of the stern, and wished that the day would break.
وَلَمَّا كَانَ ٱلنُّوتِيَّةُ يَطْلُبُونَ أَنْ يَهْرُبُوا مِنَ ٱلسَّفِينَةِ، وَأَنْزَلُوا ٱلْقَارِبَ إِلَى ٱلْبَحْرِ بِعِلَّةِ أَنَّهُمْ مُزْمِعُونَ أَنْ يَمُدُّوا مَرَاسِيَ مِنَ ٱلْمُقَدَّمِ، ٣٠ 30
But when the mariners endeavored to flee out of the ship, and had let down the boat into the sea, under pretense that they were about to carry out anchors from the ship-head;
قَالَ بُولُسُ لِقَائِدِ ٱلْمِئَةِ وَٱلْعَسْكَرِ: «إِنْ لَمْ يَبْقَ هَؤُلَاءِ فِي ٱلسَّفِينَةِ فَأَنْتُمْ لَا تَقْدِرُونَ أَنْ تَنْجُوا». ٣١ 31
Paul said to the centurion and the soldiers, Unless these continue in the ship, you can not be saved.
حِينَئِذٍ قَطَعَ ٱلْعَسْكَرُ حِبَالَ ٱلْقَارِبِ وَتَرَكُوهُ يَسْقُطُ. ٣٢ 32
Then the soldiers cut off the cords of the boat, and let it fall off.
وَحَتَّى قَارَبَ أَنْ يَصِيرَ ٱلنَّهَارُ كَانَ بُولُسُ يَطْلُبُ إِلَى ٱلْجَمِيعِ أَنْ يَتَنَاوَلُوا طَعَامًا، قَائِلًا: «هَذَا هُوَ ٱلْيَوْمُ ٱلرَّابِعَ عَشَرَ، وَأَنْتُمْ مُنْتَظِرُونَ لَا تَزَالُونَ صَائِمِينَ، وَلَمْ تَأْخُذُوا شَيْئًا. ٣٣ 33
And while the day was coming on, Paul exhorted them all to take some food, saying, To-day, whilst waiting for this fourteenth day, you continue fasting, having taken nothing.
لِذَلِكَ أَلْتَمِسُ مِنْكُمْ أَنْ تَتَنَاوَلُوا طَعَامًا، لِأَنَّ هَذَا يَكُونُ مُفِيدًا لِنَجَاتِكُمْ، لِأَنَّهُ لَا تَسْقُطُ شَعْرَةٌ مِنْ رَأْسِ وَاحِدٍ مِنْكُمْ». ٣٤ 34
I exhort you, therefore, to take a refreshment; for this is conducive to your safety: for not a hair shall fall from the head of any of you.
وَلَمَّا قَالَ هَذَا أَخَذَ خُبْزًا وَشَكَرَ ٱللهَ أَمَامَ ٱلْجَمِيعِ، وَكَسَّرَ، وَٱبْتَدَأَ يَأْكُلُ. ٣٥ 35
And when he had spoke thus, and had taken bread, he gave thanks to God, before them all; and having broken it, he began to eat.
فَصَارَ ٱلْجَمِيعُ مَسْرُورِينَ وَأَخَذُوا هُمْ أَيْضًا طَعَامًا. ٣٦ 36
And being all encouraged, they also took some food.
وَكُنَّا فِي ٱلسَّفِينَةِ جَمِيعُ ٱلْأَنْفُسِ مِئَتَيْنِ وَسِتَّةً وَسَبْعِينَ. ٣٧ 37
And we were in the ship, in all two hundred and seventy-six souls.
وَلَمَّا شَبِعُوا مِنَ ٱلطَّعَامِ طَفِقُوا يُخَفِّفُونَ ٱلسَّفِينَةَ طَارِحِينَ ٱلْحِنْطَةَ فِي ٱلْبَحْرِ. ٣٨ 38
And being satisfied with food, they lightened the ship; and cast the corn into the sea.
وَلَمَّا صَارَ ٱلنَّهَارُ لَمْ يَكُونُوا يَعْرِفُونَ ٱلْأَرْضَ، وَلَكِنَّهُمْ أَبْصَرُوا خَلِيجًا لَهُ شَاطِئٌ، فَأَجْمَعُوا أَنْ يَدْفَعُوا إِلَيْهِ ٱلسَّفِينَةَ إِنْ أَمْكَنَهُمْ. ٣٩ 39
And when it was day, they did not know the land: but they perceived a certain creek, with a shore, into which they determined, if they were able, to force the ship.
فَلَمَّا نَزَعُوا ٱلْمَرَاسِيَ تَارِكِينَ إِيَّاهَا فِي ٱلْبَحْرِ، وَحَلُّوا رُبُطَ ٱلدَّفَّةِ أَيْضًا، رَفَعُوا قِلْعًا لِلرِّيحِ ٱلْهَابَّةِ، وَأَقْبَلُوا إِلَى ٱلشَّاطِئِ. ٤٠ 40
And having cut off the anchors, leaving them in the sea, they, at the same time, loosing the rudder bands, and hoisting up the mainsail to the wind, pressed toward the shore.
وَإِذْ وَقَعُوا عَلَى مَوْضِعٍ بَيْنَ بَحْرَيْنِ، شَطَّطُوا ٱلسَّفِينَةَ، فَٱرْتَكَزَ ٱلْمُقَدَّمُ وَلَبِثَ لَا يَتَحَرَّكُ. وَأَمَّا ٱلْمُؤَخَّرُ فَكَانَ يَنْحَلُّ مِنْ عُنْفِ ٱلْأَمْوَاجِ. ٤١ 41
But falling on a place where two seas met, they ran the ship aground, and the fore part stuck fast, and remained immovable, while the hinder part was broken by the force of the waves.
فَكَانَ رَأْيُ ٱلْعَسْكَرِ أَنْ يَقْتُلُوا ٱلْأَسْرَى لِئَلَّا يَسْبَحَ أَحَدٌ مِنْهُمْ فَيَهْرُبَ. ٤٢ 42
And the counsel of the soldiers was, that they should kill the prisoners, lest any one should swim away, and escape.
وَلَكِنَّ قَائِدَ ٱلْمِئَةِ، إِذْ كَانَ يُرِيدُ أَنْ يُخَلِّصَ بُولُسَ، مَنَعَهُمْ مِنْ هَذَا ٱلرَّأْيِ، وَأَمَرَ أَنَّ ٱلْقَادِرِينَ عَلَى ٱلسِّبَاحَةِ يَرْمُونَ أَنْفُسَهُمْ أَوَّلًا فَيَخْرُجُونَ إِلَى ٱلْبَرِّ، ٤٣ 43
But the centurion, being desirous to save Paul, hindered them from their purpose, and commanded those that could swim, to throw themselves out first, into the sea, and get away to land:
وَٱلْبَاقِينَ بَعْضُهُمْ عَلَى أَلْوَاحٍ وَبَعْضُهُمْ عَلَى قِطَعٍ مِنَ ٱلسَّفِينَةِ. فَهَكَذَا حَدَثَ أَنَّ ٱلْجَمِيعَ نَجَوْا إِلَى ٱلْبَرِّ. ٤٤ 44
and the remainder, some upon planks, and others upon some of the things of the ship. And so it happened that they all got safe to land.
