أعمال 4

١ 1 وَبَيْنَمَا هُمَا يُخَاطِبَانِ ٱلشَّعْبَ، أَقْبَلَ عَلَيْهِمَا ٱلْكَهَنَةُ وَقَائِدُ جُنْدِ ٱلْهَيْكَلِ وَٱلصَّدُّوقِيُّونَ،

As they spoke to the people, the priests and the captain of the temple and the Sadducees came to them,

٢ 2 مُتَضَجِّرِينَ مِنْ تَعْلِيمِهِمَا ٱلشَّعْبَ، وَنِدَائِهِمَا فِي يَسُوعَ بِٱلْقِيَامَةِ مِنَ ٱلْأَمْوَاتِ.

being upset because they taught the people and proclaimed in Jesus the resurrection from the dead.

٣ 3 فَأَلْقَوْا عَلَيْهِمَا ٱلْأَيَادِيَ وَوَضَعُوهُمَا فِي حَبْسٍ إِلَى ٱلْغَدِ، لِأَنَّهُ كَانَ قَدْ صَارَ ٱلْمَسَاءُ.

They laid hands on them, and put them in custody until the next day, for it was now evening.

٤ 4 وَكَثِيرُونَ مِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ سَمِعُوا ٱلْكَلِمَةَ آمَنُوا، وَصَارَ عَدَدُ ٱلرِّجَالِ نَحْوَ خَمْسَةِ آلَافٍ.

But many of those who heard the word believed, and the number of the men came to be about five thousand.

٥ 5 وَحَدَثَ فِي ٱلْغَدِ أَنَّ رُؤَسَاءَهُمْ وَشُيُوخَهُمْ وَكَتَبَتَهُمُ ٱجْتَمَعُوا إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ

It happened in the morning, that their rulers, elders, and scribes were gathered together in Jerusalem.

٦ 6 مَعَ حَنَّانَ رَئِيسِ ٱلْكَهَنَةِ وَقَيَافَا وَيُوحَنَّا وَٱلْإِسْكَنْدَرِ، وَجَمِيعِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَانُوا مِنْ عَشِيرَةِ رُؤَسَاءِ ٱلْكَهَنَةِ.

Annas the high priest was there, with Caiaphas, John, Alexander, and as many as were relatives of the high priest.

٧ 7 وَلَمَّا أَقَامُوهُمَا فِي ٱلْوَسْطِ، جَعَلُوا يَسْأَلُونَهُمَا: «بِأَيَّةِ قُوَّةٍ وَبِأَيِّ ٱسْمٍ صَنَعْتُمَا أَنْتُمَا هَذَا؟».

When they had stood them in the middle of them, they inquired, "By what power, or in what name, have you done this?"

٨ 8 حِينَئِذٍ ٱمْتَلَأَ بُطْرُسُ مِنَ ٱلرُّوحِ ٱلْقُدُسِ وَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «يَا رُؤَسَاءَ ٱلشَّعْبِ وَشُيُوخَ إِسْرَائِيلَ،

Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them, "Rulers of the people, and elders,

٩ 9 إِنْ كُنَّا نُفْحَصُ ٱلْيَوْمَ عَنْ إِحْسَانٍ إِلَى إِنْسَانٍ سَقِيمٍ، بِمَاذَا شُفِيَ هَذَا،

if we are examined today concerning a good deed done to a crippled man, by what means this man has been healed,

١٠ 10 فَلْيَكُنْ مَعْلُومًا عِنْدَ جَمِيعِكُمْ وَجَمِيعِ شَعْبِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، أَنَّهُ بِٱسْمِ يَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ ٱلنَّاصِرِيِّ، ٱلَّذِي صَلَبْتُمُوهُ أَنْتُمُ، ٱلَّذِي أَقَامَهُ ٱللهُ مِنَ ٱلْأَمْوَاتِ، بِذَاكَ وَقَفَ هَذَا أَمَامَكُمْ صَحِيحًا.

be it known to you all, and to all the children of Israel, that in the name of Jesus Christ the Nazorean, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead, in him does this man stand here before you whole.

١١ 11 هَذَا هُوَ: ٱلْحَجَرُ ٱلَّذِي ٱحْتَقَرْتُمُوهُ أَيُّهَا ٱلْبَنَّاؤُونَ، ٱلَّذِي صَارَ رَأْسَ ٱلزَّاوِيَةِ.

This one is the stone which was regarded as worthless by you, the builders, which has become the head of the corner.

١٢ 12 وَلَيْسَ بِأَحَدٍ غَيْرِهِ ٱلْخَلَاصُ. لِأَنْ لَيْسَ ٱسْمٌ آخَرُ تَحْتَ ٱلسَّمَاءِ، قَدْ أُعْطِيَ بَيْنَ ٱلنَّاسِ، بِهِ يَنْبَغِي أَنْ نَخْلُصَ».

And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among people by which we must be saved."

١٣ 13 فَلَمَّا رَأَوْا مُجَاهَرَةَ بُطْرُسَ وَيُوحَنَّا، وَوَجَدُوا أَنَّهُمَا إِنْسَانَانِ عَدِيمَا ٱلْعِلْمِ وَعَامِّيَّانِ، تَعَجَّبُوا. فَعَرَفُوهُمَا أَنَّهُمَا كَانَا مَعَ يَسُوعَ.

Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and had perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they were amazed. They recognized that they had been with Jesus.

١٤ 14 وَلَكِنْ إِذْ نَظَرُوا ٱلْإِنْسَانَ ٱلَّذِي شُفِيَ وَاقِفًا مَعَهُمَا، لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُمْ شَيْءٌ يُنَاقِضُونَ بِهِ.

Seeing the man who was healed standing with them, they could say nothing against it.

١٥ 15 فَأَمَرُوهُمَا أَنْ يَخْرُجَا إِلَى خَارِجِ ٱلْمَجْمَعِ، وَتَآمَرُوا فِيمَا بَيْنَهُمْ

But when they had commanded them to go aside out of the council, they conferred among themselves,

١٦ 16 قَائِلِينَ: «مَاذَا نَفْعَلُ بِهَذَيْنِ ٱلرَّجُلَيْنِ؟ لِأَنَّهُ ظَاهِرٌ لِجَمِيعِ سُكَّانِ أُورُشَلِيمَ أَنَّ آيَةً مَعْلُومَةً قَدْ جَرَتْ بِأَيْدِيهِمَا، وَلَا نَقْدِرُ أَنْ نُنْكِرَ.

saying, "What should we do with these men? Because indeed a notable miracle has been done through them, as can be plainly seen by all who dwell in Jerusalem, and we cannot deny it.

١٧ 17 وَلَكِنْ لِئَلَّا تَشِيعَ أَكْثَرَ فِي ٱلشَّعْبِ، لِنُهَدِّدْهُمَا تَهْدِيدًا أَنْ لَا يُكَلِّمَا أَحَدًا مِنَ ٱلنَّاسِ فِيمَا بَعْدُ بِهَذَا ٱلِٱسْمِ».

But so this does not spread any further among the people, let us severely threaten them, that from now on they do not speak to anyone in this name."

١٨ 18 فَدَعَوْهُمَا وَأَوْصَوْهُمَا أَنْ لَا يَنْطِقَا ٱلْبَتَّةَ، وَلَا يُعَلِّمَا بِٱسْمِ يَسُوعَ.

They called them, and commanded them not to speak at all nor teach in the name of Jesus.

١٩ 19 فَأَجَابَهُمْ بُطْرُسُ وَيُوحَنَّا وَقَالَا: «إِنْ كَانَ حَقًّا أَمَامَ ٱللهِ أَنْ نَسْمَعَ لَكُمْ أَكْثَرَ مِنَ ٱللهِ، فَٱحْكُمُوا.

But Peter and John answered them, "Whether it is right in the sight of God to listen to you rather than to God, judge for yourselves,

٢٠ 20 لِأَنَّنَا نَحْنُ لَا يُمْكِنُنَا أَنْ لَا نَتَكَلَّمَ بِمَا رَأَيْنَا وَسَمِعْنَا».

for we cannot help telling the things which we saw and heard."

٢١ 21 وَبَعْدَمَا هَدَّدُوهُمَا أَيْضًا أَطْلَقُوهُمَا، إِذْ لَمْ يَجِدُوا ٱلْبَتَّةَ كَيْفَ يُعَاقِبُونَهُمَا بِسَبَبِ ٱلشَّعْبِ، لِأَنَّ ٱلْجَمِيعَ كَانُوا يُمَجِّدُونَ ٱللهَ عَلَى مَا جَرَى،

When they had further threatened them, they let them go, finding no way to punish them, because of the people; for everyone glorified God for that which was done.

٢٢ 22 لِأَنَّ ٱلْإِنْسَانَ ٱلَّذِي صَارَتْ فِيهِ آيَةُ ٱلشِّفَاءِ هَذِهِ، كَانَ لَهُ أَكْثَرُ مِنْ أَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً.

For the man on whom this miracle of healing was performed was more than forty years old.

٢٣ 23 وَلَمَّا أُطْلِقَا أَتَيَا إِلَى رُفَقَائِهِمَا وَأَخْبَرَاهُمْ بِكُلِّ مَا قَالَهُ لَهُمَا رُؤَسَاءُ ٱلْكَهَنَةِ وَٱلشُّيُوخُ.

Being let go, they came to their own company, and reported all that the chief priests and the elders had said to them.

٢٤ 24 فَلَمَّا سَمِعُوا، رَفَعُوا بِنَفْسٍ وَاحِدَةٍ صَوْتًا إِلَى ٱللهِ وَقَالُوا: «أَيُّهَا ٱلسَّيِّدُ، أَنْتَ هُوَ ٱلْإِلَهُ ٱلصَّانِعُ ٱلسَّمَاءَ وَٱلْأَرْضَ وَٱلْبَحْرَ وَكُلَّ مَا فِيهَا،

When they heard it, they lifted up their voice to God with one accord, and said, "Lord, you made the heaven and the earth and the sea, and all that is in them.

٢٥ 25 ٱلْقَائِلُ بِفَمِ دَاوُدَ فَتَاكَ: لِمَاذَا ٱرْتَجَّتِ ٱلْأُمَمُ وَتَفَكَّرَ ٱلشُّعُوبُ بِٱلْبَاطِلِ؟

You said through the Holy Spirit, through the mouth of our father David your servant: 'Why do the nations rage, and the peoples plot in vain?

٢٦ 26 قَامَتْ مُلُوكُ ٱلْأَرْضِ، وَٱجْتَمَعَ ٱلرُّؤَسَاءُ مَعًا عَلَى ٱلرَّبِّ وَعَلَى مَسِيحِهِ.

The kings of the earth take a stand, and the rulers take council together, against the Lord, and against his Christ.'

٢٧ 27 لِأَنَّهُ بِٱلْحَقِيقَةِ ٱجْتَمَعَ عَلَى فَتَاكَ ٱلْقُدُّوسِ يَسُوعَ، ٱلَّذِي مَسَحْتَهُ، هِيرُودُسُ وَبِيلَاطُسُ ٱلْبُنْطِيُّ مَعَ أُمَمٍ وَشُعُوبِ إِسْرَائِيلَ،

"For truly, in this city against your holy servant, Jesus, whom you anointed, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, with the non-Jews and the people of Israel, were gathered together

٢٨ 28 لِيَفْعَلُوا كُلَّ مَا سَبَقَتْ فَعَيَّنَتْ يَدُكَ وَمَشُورَتُكَ أَنْ يَكُونَ.

to do whatever your hand and your council foreordained to happen.

٢٩ 29 وَٱلْآنَ يَارَبُّ، ٱنْظُرْ إِلَى تَهْدِيدَاتِهِمْ، وَٱمْنَحْ عَبِيدَكَ أَنْ يَتَكَلَّمُوا بِكَلَامِكَ بِكُلِّ مُجَاهَرَةٍ،

Now, Lord, look at their threats, and grant to your servants to speak your word with all boldness,

٣٠ 30 بِمَدِّ يَدِكَ لِلشِّفَاءِ، وَلْتُجْرَ آيَاتٌ وَعَجَائِبُ بِٱسْمِ فَتَاكَ ٱلْقُدُّوسِ يَسُوعَ».

while you stretch out your hand to heal; and that signs and wonders may be done through the name of your holy Servant Jesus."

٣١ 31 وَلَمَّا صَلَّوْا تَزَعْزَعَ ٱلْمَكَانُ ٱلَّذِي كَانُوا مُجْتَمِعِينَ فِيهِ، وَٱمْتَلَأَ ٱلْجَمِيعُ مِنَ ٱلرُّوحِ ٱلْقُدُسِ، وَكَانُوا يَتَكَلَّمُونَ بِكَلَامِ ٱللهِ بِمُجَاهَرَةٍ.

When they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were gathered together. They were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and they spoke the word of God with boldness.

٣٢ 32 وَكَانَ لِجُمْهُورِ ٱلَّذِينَ آمَنُوا قَلْبٌ وَاحِدٌ وَنَفْسٌ وَاحِدَةٌ، وَلَمْ يَكُنْ أَحَدٌ يَقُولُ إِنَّ شَيْئًا مِنْ أَمْوَالِهِ لَهُ، بَلْ كَانَ عِنْدَهُمْ كُلُّ شَيْءٍ مُشْتَرَكًا.

And the full number of those who believed were of one heart and soul. Not one of them claimed that anything of the things which he possessed was his own, but they had all things in common.

٣٣ 33 وَبِقُوَّةٍ عَظِيمَةٍ كَانَ ٱلرُّسُلُ يُؤَدُّونَ ٱلشَّهَادَةَ بِقِيَامَةِ ٱلرَّبِّ يَسُوعَ، وَنِعْمَةٌ عَظِيمَةٌ كَانَتْ عَلَى جَمِيعِهِمْ،

With great power, the apostles gave their testimony of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus. Great grace was on them all.

٣٤ 34 إِذْ لَمْ يَكُنْ فِيهِمْ أَحَدٌ مُحْتَاجًا، لِأَنَّ كُلَّ ٱلَّذِينَ كَانُوا أَصْحَابَ حُقُولٍ أَوْ بُيُوتٍ كَانُوا يَبِيعُونَهَا، وَيَأْتُونَ بِأَثْمَانِ ٱلْمَبِيعَاتِ،

For neither was there among them any who lacked, for as many as were owners of lands or houses sold them, and brought the proceeds of the things that were sold,

٣٥ 35 وَيَضَعُونَهَا عِنْدَ أَرْجُلِ ٱلرُّسُلِ، فَكَانَ يُوزَّعُ عَلَى كُلِّ أَحَدٍ كَمَا يَكُونُ لَهُ ٱحْتِيَاجٌ.

and put them at the apostles' feet, and distribution was made to each, according as anyone had need.

٣٦ 36 وَيُوسُفُ ٱلَّذِي دُعِيَ مِنَ ٱلرُّسُلِ بَرْنَابَا، ٱلَّذِي يُتَرْجَمُ ٱبْنَ ٱلْوَعْظِ، وَهُوَ لَاوِيٌّ قُبْرُسِيُّ ٱلْجِنْسِ،

Joseph, who by the apostles was surnamed Barnabas (which is translated, Son of Encouragement), a Levite, a native of Cyprus by birth,

٣٧ 37 إِذْ كَانَ لَهُ حَقْلٌ بَاعَهُ، وَأَتَى بِٱلدَّرَاهِمِ وَوَضَعَهَا عِنْدَ أَرْجُلِ ٱلرُّسُلِ.

having a field, sold it, and brought the money and put it at the apostles' feet.
