أعمال 9
| أَمَّا شَاوُلُ فَكَانَ لَمْ يَزَلْ يَنْفُثُ تَهَدُّدًا وَقَتْلًا عَلَى تَلَامِيذِ ٱلرَّبِّ، فَتَقَدَّمَ إِلَى رَئِيسِ ٱلْكَهَنَةِ | ١ 1 |
Meanwhile Saul, still breathing out threats of murder against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest
| وَطَلَبَ مِنْهُ رَسَائِلَ إِلَى دِمَشْقَ، إِلَى ٱلْجَمَاعَاتِ، حَتَّى إِذَا وَجَدَ أُنَاسًا مِنَ ٱلطَّرِيقِ، رِجَالًا أَوْ نِسَاءً، يَسُوقُهُمْ مُوثَقِينَ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ. | ٢ 2 |
and begged of him letters addressed to the synagogues in Damascus, so that if he found any that were of the Way, either men or women, he could bind them and bring them to Jerusalem.
| وَفِي ذَهَابِهِ حَدَثَ أَنَّهُ ٱقْتَرَبَ إِلَى دِمَشْقَ فَبَغْتَةً أَبْرَقَ حَوْلَهُ نُورٌ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَاءِ، | ٣ 3 |
And as he journeyed, when he was approaching Damascus, suddenly a light from heaven flashed round him.
| فَسَقَطَ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَسَمِعَ صَوْتًا قَائِلًا لَهُ: «شَاوُلُ، شَاوُلُ! لِمَاذَا تَضْطَهِدُنِي؟». | ٤ 4 |
He fell to the ground, and heard a voice which said to him, "Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me?"
| فَقَالَ: «مَنْ أَنْتَ يَا سَيِّدُ؟». فَقَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: «أَنَا يَسُوعُ ٱلَّذِي أَنْتَ تَضْطَهِدُهُ. صَعْبٌ عَلَيْكَ أَن تَرْفُسَ مَنَاخِسَ». | ٥ 5 |
And he said, "Who are you Lord?"
| فَقَالَ وَهُوَ مُرْتَعِدٌ وَمُتَحَيِّرٌ: «يَارَبُّ، مَاذَا تُرِيدُ أَنْ أَفْعَلَ؟». فَقَالَ لَهُ ٱلرَّبُّ: «قُمْ وَٱدْخُلِ ٱلْمَدِينَةَ فَيُقَالَ لَكَ مَاذَا يَنْبَغِي أَنْ تَفْعَلَ». | ٦ 6 |
"I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting," he said. "Stand up and go into the city, and there you shall be told what you must do."
| وَأَمَّا ٱلرِّجَالُ ٱلْمُسَافِرُونَ مَعَهُ فَوَقَفُوا صَامِتِينَ، يَسْمَعُونَ ٱلصَّوْتَ وَلَا يَنْظُرُونَ أَحَدًا. | ٧ 7 |
Meanwhile the men who were his fellow travelers stood speechless, hearing indeed the voice, but beholding no one.
| فَنَهَضَ شَاوُلُ عَنِ ٱلْأَرْضِ، وَكَانَ وَهُوَ مَفْتُوحُ ٱلْعَيْنَيْنِ لَا يُبْصِرُ أَحَدًا. فَٱقْتَادُوهُ بِيَدِهِ وَأَدْخَلُوهُ إِلَى دِمَشْقَ. | ٨ 8 |
And Saul got up from the ground, but although his eyes were open, he continued to perceive nothing; so they took him by the hand and led him into Damascus.
| وَكَانَ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ لَا يُبْصِرُ، فَلَمْ يَأْكُلْ وَلَمْ يَشْرَبْ. | ٩ 9 |
And he remained there three days, seeing nothing, and without eating or drinking.
| وَكَانَ فِي دِمَشْقَ تِلْمِيذٌ ٱسْمُهُ حَنَانِيَّا، فَقَالَ لَهُ ٱلرَّبُّ فِي رُؤْيَا: «يَا حَنَانِيَّا!». فَقَالَ: «هَأَنَذَا يَارَبُّ». | ١٠ 10 |
Now there was in Damascus a disciple named Ananias, and the Lord spoke to him in a vision, saying, "Ananias!" And he answered, "Lo, I am here, Lord."
| فَقَالَ لَهُ ٱلرَّبُّ: «قُمْ وَٱذْهَبْ إِلَى ٱلزُّقَاقِ ٱلَّذِي يُقَالُ لَهُ ٱلْمُسْتَقِيمُ، وَٱطْلُبْ فِي بَيْتِ يَهُوذَا رَجُلًا طَرْسُوسِيًّا ٱسْمُهُ شَاوُلُ. لِأَنَّهُ هُوَذَا يُصَلِّي، | ١١ 11 |
And the Lord said to him. "Arise, go into the street named ‘Straight,’ and make inquiries in the house of Judas for a man of Tarsus, one Saul.
| وَقَدْ رَأَى فِي رُؤْيَا رَجُلًا ٱسْمُهُ حَنَانِيَّا دَاخِلًا وَوَاضِعًا يَدَهُ عَلَيْهِ لِكَيْ يُبْصِرَ». | ١٢ 12 |
He is now praying, and has seen a man named Ananias enter and lay his hands on him to restore his sight."
| فَأَجَابَ حَنَانِيَّا: «يَارَبُّ، قَدْ سَمِعْتُ مِنْ كَثِيرِينَ عَنْ هَذَا ٱلرَّجُلِ، كَمْ مِنَ ٱلشُّرُورِ فَعَلَ بِقِدِّيسِيكَ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ. | ١٣ 13 |
"But, Lord," said Ananias, "I have heard from many about that man, and how much evil he did to the saints at Jerusalem!
| وَهَهُنَا لَهُ سُلْطَانٌ مِنْ قِبَلِ رُؤَسَاءِ ٱلْكَهَنَةِ أَنْ يُوثِقَ جَمِيعَ ٱلَّذِينَ يَدْعُونَ بِٱسْمِكَ». | ١٤ 14 |
"In this city, too, he has authority from the chief priests to arrest all those who call upon thy name."
| فَقَالَ لَهُ ٱلرَّبُّ: «ٱذْهَبْ! لِأَنَّ هَذَا لِي إِنَاءٌ مُخْتَارٌ لِيَحْمِلَ ٱسْمِي أَمَامَ أُمَمٍ وَمُلُوكٍ وَبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ. | ١٥ 15 |
"Go," answered the Lord, "this man is chosen instrument of mine to bear my name before the nations and their kings, and before the Children of Israel also;
| لِأَنِّي سَأُرِيهِ كَمْ يَنْبَغِي أَنْ يَتَأَلَّمَ مِنْ أَجْلِ ٱسْمِي». | ١٦ 16 |
"for I am going to show him all he has to suffer for the sake of my name."
| فَمَضَى حَنَانِيَّا وَدَخَلَ ٱلْبَيْتَ وَوَضَعَ عَلَيْهِ يَدَيْهِ وَقَالَ: «أَيُّهَا ٱلْأَخُ شَاوُلُ، قَدْ أَرْسَلَنِي ٱلرَّبُّ يَسُوعُ ٱلَّذِي ظَهَرَ لَكَ فِي ٱلطَّرِيقِ ٱلَّذِي جِئْتَ فِيهِ، لِكَيْ تُبْصِرَ وَتَمْتَلِئَ مِنَ ٱلرُّوحِ ٱلْقُدُسِ». | ١٧ 17 |
And so Ananias went and entered into the house, and laying his hands on him, said, "Brother Saul, the Lord, even Jesus, who appeared to you on your journey, has sent me that you may receive your sight, and be filled with the Holy Spirit."
| فَلِلْوَقْتِ وَقَعَ مِنْ عَيْنَيْهِ شَيْءٌ كَأَنَّهُ قُشُورٌ، فَأَبْصَرَ فِي ٱلْحَالِ، وَقَامَ وَٱعْتَمَدَ. | ١٨ 18 |
Instantly something like scales fell from his eyes, and he received his sight. He arose and was baptized.
| وَتَنَاوَلَ طَعَامًا فَتَقَوَّى. وَكَانَ شَاوُلُ مَعَ ٱلتَّلَامِيذِ ٱلَّذِينَ فِي دِمَشْقَ أَيَّامًا. | ١٩ 19 |
Afterward he took food and was strengthened. And he remained for some time with the disciples at Damascus.
| وَلِلْوَقْتِ جَعَلَ يَكْرِزُ فِي ٱلْمَجَامِعِ بِٱلْمَسِيحِ: «أَنْ هَذَا هُوَ ٱبْنُ ٱللهِ». | ٢٠ 20 |
And he began at once to proclaim in the synagogues Jesus as the Son of God.
| فَبُهِتَ جَمِيعُ ٱلَّذِينَ كَانُوا يَسْمَعُونَ وَقَالُوا: «أَلَيْسَ هَذَا هُوَ ٱلَّذِي أَهْلَكَ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ ٱلَّذِينَ يَدْعُونَ بِهَذَا ٱلِٱسْمِ؟ وَقَدْ جَاءَ إِلَى هُنَا لِهَذا لِيَسُوقَهُمْ مُوثَقِينَ إِلَى رُؤَسَاءِ ٱلْكَهَنَةِ!». | ٢١ 21 |
His hearers were all astonished, and began to say. "Is not this the very man who in Jerusalem made havoc of those who called upon the Name? Did he not come hither for the express purpose of carrying them all in chains to the high priests?"
| وَأَمَّا شَاوُلُ فَكَانَ يَزْدَادُ قُوَّةً، وَيُحَيِّرُ ٱلْيَهُودَ ٱلسَّاكِنِينَ فِي دِمَشْقَ مُحَقِّقًا: «أَنَّ هَذَا هُوَ ٱلْمَسِيحُ». | ٢٢ 22 |
But Saul gained more and more influence, and kept putting the Jews who lived in Damascus to confusion by his proof that Jesus was the Christ.
| وَلَمَّا تَمَّتْ أَيَّامٌ كَثِيرَةٌ تَشَاوَرَ ٱلْيَهُودُ لِيَقْتُلُوهُ، | ٢٣ 23 |
And when many days were fulfilled the Jews made a plot to kill Saul;
| فَعَلِمَ شَاوُلُ بِمَكِيدَتِهِمْ. وَكَانُوا يُرَاقِبُونَ ٱلْأَبْوَابَ أَيْضًا نَهَارًا وَلَيْلًا لِيَقْتُلُوهُ. | ٢٤ 24 |
but information of their plot was given Saul, and although they kept watch day and night on the gates, in order to make away with him,
| فَأَخَذَهُ ٱلتَّلَامِيذُ لَيْلًا وَأَنْزَلُوهُ مِنَ ٱلسُّورِ مُدَلِّينَ إِيَّاهُ فِي سَلٍّ. | ٢٥ 25 |
his disciples took him by night, and let him down over the wall, lowering him in a basket.
| وَلَمَّا جَاءَ شَاوُلُ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ حَاوَلَ أَنْ يَلْتَصِقَ بِٱلتَّلَامِيذِ، وَكَانَ ٱلْجَمِيعُ يَخَافُونَهُ غَيْرَ مُصَدِّقِينَ أَنَّهُ تِلْمِيذٌ. | ٢٦ 26 |
So he came to Jerusalem, and attempted to join the disciples, but they were all afraid of him, because they did not believe that he was a disciple.
| فَأَخَذَهُ بَرْنَابَا وَأَحْضَرَهُ إِلَى ٱلرُّسُلِ، وَحَدَّثَهُمْ كَيْفَ أَبْصَرَ ٱلرَّبَّ فِي ٱلطَّرِيقِ وَأَنَّهُ كَلَّمَهُ، وَكَيْفَ جَاهَرَ فِي دِمَشْقَ بِٱسْمِ يَسُوعَ. | ٢٧ 27 |
But Barnabas took him and brought him to the apostles, and told them how Saul had seen the Lord in the way, and that he had spoken to him; and also how he had preached the Name of the Lord Jesus boldly at Damascus.
| فَكَانَ مَعَهُمْ يَدْخُلُ وَيَخْرُجُ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ وَيُجَاهِرُ بِٱسْمِ ٱلرَّبِّ يَسُوعَ. | ٢٨ 28 |
Henceforth Saul was one of them, going in and out of the city, and speaking fearlessly in the Name of the Lord.
| وَكَانَ يُخَاطِبُ وَيُبَاحِثُ ٱلْيُونَانِيِّينَ، فَحَاوَلُوا أَنْ يَقْتُلُوهُ. | ٢٩ 29 |
He also used to hold conversations and debates with the Grecian Jews, but they kept trying to kill him.
| فَلَمَّا عَلِمَ ٱلْإِخْوَةُ أَحْدَرُوهُ إِلَى قَيْصَرِيَّةَ وَأَرْسَلُوهُ إِلَى طَرْسُوسَ. | ٣٠ 30 |
When they learned this the brothers took him down to Caesarea, and then sent him forth to Tarsus.
| وَأَمَّا ٱلْكَنَائِسُ فِي جَمِيعِ ٱلْيَهُودِيَّةِ وَٱلْجَلِيلِ وَٱلسَّامِرَةِ فَكَانَ لَهَا سَلَامٌ، وَكَانَتْ تُبْنَى وَتَسِيرُ فِي خَوْفِ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَبِتَعْزِيَةِ ٱلرُّوحِ ٱلْقُدُسِ كَانَتْ تَتَكَاثَرُ. | ٣١ 31 |
Now throughout the whole of Judea, Galilee, and Samaria the Church continued to enjoy peace and to be spiritually built up. It was increasing in members also, as it kept walking in the fear of the Lord, and in the comfort of the Holy Spirit.
| وَحَدَثَ أَنَّ بُطْرُسَ وَهُوَ يَجْتَازُ بِٱلْجَمِيعِ، نَزَلَ أَيْضًا إِلَى ٱلْقِدِّيسِينَ ٱلسَّاكِنِينَ فِي لُدَّةَ، | ٣٢ 32 |
Now Peter, as he was going from town to town, came down also to the saints who lived in Lydda.
| فَوَجَدَ هُنَاكَ إِنْسَانًا ٱسْمُهُ إِينِيَاسُ مُضْطَجِعًا عَلَى سَرِيرٍ مُنْذُ ثَمَانِي سِنِينَ، وَكَانَ مَفْلُوجًا. | ٣٣ 33 |
Here he found a man named Aeneas, bedridden for eight years, a paralytic.
| فَقَالَ لَهُ بُطْرُسُ: «يَا إِينِيَاسُ، يَشْفِيكَ يَسُوعُ ٱلْمَسِيحُ. قُمْ وَٱفْرُشْ لِنَفْسِكَ!». فَقَامَ لِلْوَقْتِ. | ٣٤ 34 |
Peter said to him. "Aeneas, Jesus Christ cures you! Rise and make your own bed!"
| وَرَآهُ جَمِيعُ ٱلسَّاكِنِينَ فِي لُدَّةَ وَسَارُونَ، ٱلَّذِينَ رَجَعُوا إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ. | ٣٥ 35 |
At once he rose to his feet. All the people of Lydda and Sharon saw him, and they turned to the Lord.
| وَكَانَ فِي يَافَا تِلْمِيذَةٌ ٱسْمُهَا طَابِيثَا، ٱلَّذِي تَرْجَمَتُهُ غَزَالَةُ. هَذِهِ كَانَتْ مُمْتَلِئَةً أَعْمَالًا صَالِحَةً وَإِحْسَانَاتٍ كَانَتْ تَعْمَلُهَا. | ٣٦ 36 |
Among the disciples at Joppa was a woman named Tabitha - which may be translated Dorcas or "Gazelle" - a woman whose life was full of good works and almsgiving, which she was doing continually.
| وَحَدَثَ فِي تِلْكَ ٱلْأَيَّامِ أَنَّهَا مَرِضَتْ وَمَاتَتْ، فَغَسَّلُوهَا وَوَضَعُوهَا فِي عِلِّيَّةٍ. | ٣٧ 37 |
She, as it happened, was taken ill just at that time, and died. After washing her body, they laid it in an upper room.
| وَإِذْ كَانَتْ لُدَّةُ قَرِيبَةً مِنْ يَافَا، وَسَمِعَ ٱلتَّلَامِيذُ أَنَّ بُطْرُسَ فِيهَا، أَرْسَلُوا رَجُلَيْنِ يَطْلُبَانِ إِلَيْهِ أَنْ لَا يَتَوَانَى عَنْ أَنْ يَجْتَازَ إِلَيْهِمْ. | ٣٨ 38 |
And as Lydda was near Joppa, the disciples, when they heard that Peter was there, sent two men to him with the entreaty, "Delay not to come to us."
| فَقَامَ بُطْرُسُ وَجَاءَ مَعَهُمَا. فَلَمَّا وَصَلَ صَعِدُوا بِهِ إِلَى ٱلْعِلِّيَّةِ، فَوَقَفَتْ لَدَيْهِ جَمِيعُ ٱلْأَرَامِلِ يَبْكِينَ وَيُرِينَ أَقْمِصَةً وَثِيَابًا مِمَّا كَانَتْ تَعْمَلُ غَزَالَةُ وَهِيَ مَعَهُنَّ. | ٣٩ 39 |
So Peter arose and went with them. On his arrival they took him up- stairs, and all the widows stood near him, weeping, and showing him the cloaks and garments which Dorcas used to make, while she was still with them.
| فَأَخْرَجَ بُطْرُسُ ٱلْجَمِيعَ خَارِجًا، وَجَثَا عَلَى رُكْبَتَيْهِ وَصَلَّى، ثُمَّ ٱلْتَفَتَ إِلَى ٱلْجَسَدِ وَقَالَ: «يَا طَابِيثَا، قُومِي!». فَفَتَحَتْ عَيْنَيْهَا. وَلَمَّا أَبْصَرَتْ بُطْرُسَ جَلَسَتْ، | ٤٠ 40 |
But Peter put them all out, and kneeled down, and prayed; and then turning to the body, he said, "Tabitha, rise!" She opened her eyes, and on seeing Peter she sat up.
| فَنَاوَلَهَا يَدَهُ وَأَقَامَهَا. ثُمَّ نَادَى ٱلْقِدِّيسِينَ وَٱلْأَرَامِلَ وَأَحْضَرَهَا حَيَّةً. | ٤١ 41 |
Then he gave her his hand and raised her up, and after calling the saints and the widows, he gave her back to them alive.
| فَصَارَ ذَلِكَ مَعْلُومًا فِي يَافَا كُلِّهَا، فَآمَنَ كَثِيرُونَ بِٱلرَّبِّ. | ٤٢ 42 |
This incident became known throughout Joppa, and many believed in the Lord.
| وَمَكَثَ أَيَّامًا كَثِيرَةً فِي يَافَا، عِنْدَ سِمْعَانَ رَجُلٍ دَبَّاغٍ. | ٤٣ 43 |
Peter stayed for some time in Joppa, lodging in the house of Simon, the tanner.
