أعمال 10
| وَكَانَ يَسْكُنُ فِي قَيْصَرِيَّةَ قَائِدُ مِئَةٍ اسْمُهُ كَرْنِيلِيُوسُ، يَنْتَمِي إِلَى الْكَتِيبَةِ الإِيطَالِيَّةِ، | ١ 1 |
Now there was at Caesarea a man named Cornelius, a captain in the Italian regiment.
| وَكَانَ تَقِيًّا يَخَافُ اللهَ، هُوَ وَأَهْلُ بَيْتِهِ جَمِيعاً، يَتَصَدَّقُ عَلَى الشَّعْبِ كَثِيراً، وَيُصَلِّي إِلَى اللهِ دَائِماً. | ٢ 2 |
He was a devout man and God-fearing, and so were all his household. He gave many alms to the people, and constantly prayed to God.
| وَذَاتَ نَهَارٍ نَحْوَ السَّاعَةِ الثَّالِثَةِ بَعْدَ الظُّهْرِ، رَأَى كَرْنِيلِيُوسُ فِي رُؤْيَا وَاضِحَةٍ مَلاكاً مِنْ عِنْدِ اللهِ يَدْخُلُ إِلَيْهِ وَيَقُولُ: «يَا كَرْنِيلِيُوسُ!» | ٣ 3 |
About three o’clock one afternoon he had a vision, and distinctly saw an angel of God enter his house and say to him, "Cornelius."
| فَنَظَرَ إِلَى الْمَلاكِ وَقَدِ اسْتَوْلَى عَلَيْهِ الْخَوْفُ، وَسَأَلَ: «مَاذَا يَا سَيِّدُ؟» فَأَجَابَهُ: «صَلَوَاتُكَ وَصَدَقَاتُكَ صَعِدَتْ أَمَامَ اللهِ تَذْكَاراً. | ٤ 4 |
He stared at him in terror, and said, "What is it, Lord?" "Your prayers and your alms have risen for a memorial before God," answered the angel;
| وَالآنَ أَرْسِلْ بَعْضَ الرِّجَالِ إِلَى يَافَا وَاسْتَدْعِ سِمْعَانَ الْمُلَقَّبَ بُطْرُسَ. | ٥ 5 |
"and now send men to Joppa and fetch one Simon, who is called Peter.
| إِنَّهُ يُقِيمُ فِي بَيْتِ سِمْعَانَ الدَّبَّاغِ عِنْدَ الْبَحْرِ». | ٦ 6 |
"He is staying as a guest with Simon, a tanner, whose house is near the sea."
| فَمَا إِنْ ذَهَبَ الْمَلاكُ الَّذِي كَانَ يُكَلِّمُ كَرْنِيلِيُوسَ، حَتَّى دَعَا اثْنَيْنِ مِنْ خَدَمِهِ، وَجُنْدِيًّا تَقِيًّا مِنْ مُرَافِقِيهِ الدَّائِمِينَ، | ٧ 7 |
And after the angel who was speaking to him was gone, he called two of his household servants and a devout soldier who was in constant attendance upon him,
| وَرَوَى لَهُمُ الْخَبَرَ كُلَّهُ، وَأَرْسَلَهُمْ إِلَى يَافَا. | ٨ 8 |
and after telling them everything, he sent them to Joppa.
| وَفِي الْيَوْمِ التَّالِي، بَيْنَمَا كَانَ الرِّجَالُ الثَّلاثَةُ يَقْتَرِبُونَ مِنْ مَدِينَةِ يَافَا، صَعِدَ بُطْرُسُ نَحْوَ الظُّهْرِ إِلَى السَّطْحِ لِيُصَلِّيَ. | ٩ 9 |
The next day, while they were still on their way and were approaching the town, about noon, Peter went up to the housetop to pray.
| وَأَحَسَّ جُوعاً شَدِيداً، فَاشْتَهَى أَنْ يَأْكُلَ. وَبَيْنَمَا الطَّعَامُ يُعَدُّ لَهُ، وَقَعَتْ عَلَيْهِ غَيْبُوبَةٌ، | ١٠ 10 |
He had become very hungry and longed for food; but while they were preparing it, he fell into a trance.
| فَرَأَى رُؤْيَا: السَّمَاءَ مَفْتُوحَةً، وَوِعَاءً يُشْبِهُ قِطْعَةً كَبِيرَةً مِنَ الْقُمَاشِ مَرْبُوطَةً بِأَطْرَافِهَا الأَرْبَعَةِ يَتَدَلَّى إِلَى الأَرْضِ، | ١١ 11 |
He beheld the sky opened, and a vessel descending like an enormous sail let down to earth by four corners.
| وَهُوَ مَلِيءٌ بِأَنْوَاعِ الْحَيَوَانَاتِ الدَّابَّةِ عَلَى الأَرْضِ وَالْوُحُوشِ وَالزَّوَاحِفِ وَطُيُورِ السَّمَاءِ جَمِيعاً. | ١٢ 12 |
In it were all kinds of quadrupeds and creeping things of the earth, and wild birds.
| وَنَادَاهُ صَوْتٌ: «يَا بُطْرُسُ، قُمِ اذْبَحْ وَكُلْ!» | ١٣ 13 |
A voice came to him, saying, "Rise, Peter, kill and eat."
| وَلَكِنَّ بُطْرُسَ أَجَابَ: «كَلَّا يَا رَبُّ، فَأَنَا لَمْ آكُلْ قَطُّ شَيْئاً مُحَرَّماً أَوْ نَجِساً». | ١٤ 14 |
"Not so, my Lord," answered Peter, "for I have never yet eaten anything common and unclean."
| فَقَالَ لَهُ الصَّوْتُ أَيْضاً: «مَا طَهَّرَهُ اللهُ لَا تَحْسَبْهُ أَنْتَ نَجِساً!» | ١٥ 15 |
And again a second time came to him a voice, saying, "What God has cleansed you must not call common."
| وَتَكَرَّرَ هَذَا ثَلاثَ مَرَّاتٍ، ثُمَّ ارْتَفَعَ الْوِعَاءُ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ. | ١٦ 16 |
This happened three times; and immediately the sail was drawn up into the sky.
| تَحَيَّرَ بُطْرُسُ وَأَخَذَ يُسَائِلُ نَفْسَهُ عَنْ مَعْنَى الرُّؤْيَا الَّتِي رَآهَا. وَإذَا الرِّجَالُ الَّذِينَ أَرْسَلَهُمْ كَرْنِيلِيُوسُ قَدْ سَأَلُوا عَنْ بَيْتِ سِمْعَانَ الدَّبَّاغِ وَوَقَفُوا بِالْبَابِ | ١٧ 17 |
Now while Peter was greatly perplexed to know what the vision which he had been sent by Cornelius, and had made inquiries for the house of Simon, stood at the gate,
| يَسْتَخْبِرُونَ: «هَلْ سِمْعَانُ الْمُلَقَّبُ بُطْرُسَ مُقِيمٌ هُنَا؟» | ١٨ 18 |
and called and asked whether Simon who was called Peter was lodging there.
| فِي هَذِهِ الأَثْنَاءِ كَانَ بُطْرُسُ يُوَاصِلُ التَّفْكِيرَ فِي مَعْنَى الرُّؤْيَا، فَقَالَ لَهُ الرُّوحُ: «بِالْبَابِ ثَلاثَةُ رِجَالٍ يَطْلُبُونَكَ | ١٩ 19 |
So the Spirit said to Peter, who was still pondering over the vision.
| فَانْزِلْ إِلَيْهِمْ وَرَافِقْهُمْ بِلا تَرَدُّدٍ، فَإِنِّي أَنَا أَرْسَلْتُهُمْ». | ٢٠ 20 |
"Three men are now looking for you. Rise, go down and go with them, nothing doubting; for it is I who have sent them."
| فَنَزَلَ إِلَيْهِمْ وَقَالَ: «أَنَا الَّذِي تَطْلُبُونَ. فَمَا سَبَبُ حُضُورِكُمْ؟» | ٢١ 21 |
So Peter went down to the men and said. "I am the man you are looking for. What is the reason of your coming?"
| فَأَجَابُوهُ: «قَائِدُ الْمِئَةِ كَرْنِيلِيُوسُ رَجُلٌ صَالِحٌ يَتَّقِي اللهَ، وَيَشْهَدُ لَهُ بِذَلِكَ شَعْبُ الْيَهُودِ جَمِيعاً. وَقَدْ أَوْحَى اللهُ إِلَيْهِ بِوَاسِطَةِ مَلاكٍ طَاهِرٍ أَنْ يَسْتَدْعِيَكَ إِلَى بَيْتِهِ لِيَسْمَعَ مَا عِنْدَكَ مِنْ كَلامٍ». | ٢٢ 22 |
"Cornelius," they answered, "a captain, a devout man, and God- fearing, of whom the whole, Jewish nation speaks well, was instructed by a holy angel to send for you to come to his house, and to listen to your message."
| فَدَعَاهُمْ بُطْرُسُ لِيُمْضُوا اللَّيْلَةَ ضُيُوفاً بِذَلِكَ الْبَيْتِ. وَفِي الصَّبَاحِ ذَهَبَ مَعَهُمْ، يُرَافِقُهُ بَعْضُ الإِخْوَةِ مِنْ يَافَا، | ٢٣ 23 |
So he invited them in and gave them lodging. The next day he rose, and went off with them, and some of the brothers from Joppa accompanied them;
| فَوَصَلُوا قَيْصَرِيَّةَ فِي الْيَوْمِ الثَّانِي. وَكَانَ كَرْنِيلِيُوسُ يَنْتَظِرُ وُصُولَهُمْ، وَقَدْ دَعَا أَقَارِبَهُ وَأَصْدِقَاءَهُ الْمُقَرَّبِينَ. | ٢٤ 24 |
and the day after that they reached Caesarea. There Cornelius was waiting for them, and had brought together all his relatives and intimate friends.
| فَمَا إِنْ دَخَلَ بُطْرُسُ حَتَّى اسْتَقْبَلَهُ كَرْنِيلِيُوسُ سَاجِداً لَهُ، | ٢٥ 25 |
When Peter entered the house Cornelius met him, fell at his feet, and worshiped him;
| فَأَنْهَضَهُ بُطْرُسُ وَقَالَ: «قُمْ! مَا أَنَا إِلّا إِنْسَانٌ مِثْلُكَ!» | ٢٦ 26 |
but Peter lifted him up. "Stand up," he said, "I am only a man, myself."
| وَدَخَلَ بُطْرُسُ وَهُوَ يُحَادِثُهُ، فَرَأَى جَمْعاً كَبِيراً مِنَ النَّاسِ، | ٢٧ 27 |
And as he talked with him, he went in and found a large company assembled.
| فَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «أَنْتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ أَنَّهُ مُحَرَّمٌ عَلَى الْيَهُودِيِّ أَنْ يَتَعَامَلَ مَعَ الأَجْنَبِيِّ أَوْ يَزُورَهُ فِي بَيْتِهِ. غَيْرَ أَنَّ اللهَ أَرَانِي أَلّا أَقُولَ عَنْ إِنْسَانٍ مَا إِنَّهُ دَنِسٌ أَوْ نَجِسٌ. | ٢٨ 28 |
To them he said. "You know, yourselves, that it is illegal for a Jew to associate with or to visit one of another nation; but God has taught me that I should not call any man common or unclean. For this reason, when sent for, I came without demur.
| فَلِذَلِكَ جِئْتُ مِنْ غَيْرِ اعْتِرَاضٍ، تَلْبِيَةً لِدَعْوَتِكُمْ. فَمَا هُوَ سَبَبُ دَعْوَتِكُمْ لِي؟» | ٢٩ 29 |
"I ask therefore why you sent for me."
| فَأَجَابَ كَرْنِيلِيُوسُ: «مُنْذُ أَرْبَعَةِ أَيَّامٍ، فِي مِثْلِ هَذِهِ السَّاعَةِ كُنْتُ أُصَلِّي فِي بَيْتِي صَلاةَ السَّاعَةِ الثَّالِثَةِ بَعْدَ الظُّهْرِ فَظَهَرَ أَمَامِي فَجْأَةً رَجُلٌ يَلْبَسُ ثَوْباً بَرَّاقاً | ٣٠ 30 |
Cornelius answered. "Three days ago, at this very hour, I was praying in my house at three o’clock in the afternoon, when suddenly a man in a shining robe stood by me,
| وَقَالَ لِي: يَا كَرْنِيلِيُوسُ، سَمِعَ اللهُ صَلاتَكَ وَذَكَرَ صَدَقَاتِكَ. | ٣١ 31 |
and said. "‘Cornelius, your prayer is heard, and your alms are had in remembrance in the sight of God.
| وَالآنَ أَرْسِلْ رِجَالاً إِلَى يَافَا، وَاسْتَدْعِ سِمْعَانَ الْمُلَقَّبَ بُطْرُسَ. إِنَّهُ يُقِيمُ فِي بَيْتِ سِمْعَانَ الدَّبَّاغِ عِنْدَ الْبَحْرِ. | ٣٢ 32 |
"‘So send to Joppa and summon Simon, who is called Peter. He is lodging with Simon the tanner, in a house by the seaside.’
| فَأَرْسَلْتُ حَالاً أَدْعُوكَ، وَقَدْ أَحْسَنْتَ بِمَجِيئِكَ. وَنَحْنُ الآنَ جَمِيعاً حَاضِرُونَ أَمَامَ اللهِ لِنَسْمَعَ كُلَّ مَا أَمَرَكَ بِهِ الرَّبُّ». | ٣٣ 33 |
"So I sent for you without delay, and you have been kind enough to come. Now therefore we are all here present in the sight of God, to listen to what the Lord has commanded you to speak."
| فَبَدَأَ بُطْرُسُ كَلامَهُ قَائِلاً: «تَبَيَّنَ لِي فِعْلاً أَنَّ اللهَ لَا يُفَضِّلُ أَحَداً عَلَى أَحَدٍ، | ٣٤ 34 |
Then Peter began to speak. "Of a truth I begin to see quite plainly that God is no respecter of persons;
| بَلْ يَقْبَلُ مَنْ يَتَّقِيهِ وَيَعْمَلُ الصَّلاحَ مَهْمَا كَانَتْ جِنْسِيَّتُهُ. | ٣٥ 35 |
"but in every nation he who fears him and works righteousness is acceptable to him.
| وَقَدْ أَرْسَلَ كَلِمَتَهُ إِلَى بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَبَشَّرَهُمْ بِالسَّلامِ بِوَاسِطَةِ يَسُوعَ الْمَسِيحِ، رَبِّ الْجَمِيعِ. | ٣٦ 36 |
"You cannot but know the message which he sent to the descendants of Israel, when he preached the gospel of peace by Jesus Christ who is Lord of all;
| وَلابُدَّ أَنَّكُمْ عَرَفْتُمْ بِكُلِّ مَا جَرَى فِي بِلادِ الْيَهُودِ، وَكَانَ بَدْءُ الأَمْرِ فِي الْجَلِيلِ بَعْدَ الْمَعْمُودِيَّةِ الَّتِي نَادَى بِها يُوحَنَّا. | ٣٧ 37 |
"you know the message spread throughout all Judea, beginning in Galilee, after the baptism which John preached;
| فَقَدْ مَسَحَ اللهُ يَسُوعَ النَّاصِرِيَّ بِالرُّوحِ الْقُدُسِ وَبِالْقُدْرَةِ، فَكَانَ يَنْتَقِلُ مِنْ مَكَانٍ إِلَى مَكَانٍ يَعْمَلُ الْخَيْرَ، وَيَشْفِي جَمِيعَ الَّذِينَ تَسَلَّطَ عَلَيْهِمْ إِبْلِيسُ، لأَنَّ اللهَ كَانَ مَعَهُ. | ٣٨ 38 |
"how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, and how he went about everywhere doing good, and curing all who were oppressed by the devil; for God was with him.
| وَنَحْنُ شُهُودٌ عَلَى كُلِّ مَا قَامَ بِهِ فِي بِلادِ الْيَهُودِ وَفِي أُورُشَلِيمَ، وَقَدْ قَتَلُوهُ حَقّاً، مُعَلَّقاً عَلَى خَشَبَةٍ. | ٣٩ 39 |
"And we were witnesses of all that he did, both in the land of the Jews and in Jerusalem. They killed him, hanging him on a tree.
| وَلَكِنَّ اللهَ أَقَامَهُ مِنَ الْمَوْتِ فِي الْيَوْمِ الثَّالِثِ، وَجَعَلَهُ يَظْهَرُ، | ٤٠ 40 |
"But him God raised up on the third day, and permitted him to be made manifest,
| لَا لِلشَّعْبِ كُلِّهِ، بَلْ لِلشُّهُودِ الَّذِينَ اخْتَارَهُمُ اللهُ مِنْ قَبْلُ، لَنَا نَحْنُ الَّذِينَ أَكَلْنَا وَشَرِبْنَا مَعَهُ بَعْدَ قِيَامَتِهِ مِنْ بَيْنِ الأَمْوَاتِ. | ٤١ 41 |
"not to all the people, but to witnesses - men previously chosen by God - that is, to us, who ate and drank with him after he had risen from the dead;
| ثُمَّ أَمَرَنَا أَنْ نُبَشِّرَ شَعْبَنَا بِهِ، وَنَشْهَدَ أَنَّهُ هُوَ الَّذِي عَيَّنَهُ اللهُ دَيَّاناً لِلأَحْيَاءِ وَلِلأَمْوَاتِ. | ٤٢ 42 |
"when he charged us to preach to the people, and to testify that this was he whom God ordained to be the judge of the living and of the dead.
| لَهُ يَشْهَدُ جَمِيعُ الأَنْبِيَاءِ أَنَّ كُلَّ مَنْ يُؤْمِنْ بِهِ يَنَلْ بِاسْمِهِ غُفْرَانَ الْخَطَايَا». | ٤٣ 43 |
"To him all the prophets bear witness, testifying that through his name every one that believes on him will receive remission of sins."
| وَبَيْنَمَا كَانَ بُطْرُسُ يَتَكَلَّمُ بِهَذَا الْكَلامِ، حَلَّ الرُّوحُ الْقُدُسُ عَلَى جَمِيعِ الَّذِينَ كَانُوا يَسْمَعُونَ. | ٤٤ 44 |
While Peter was still speaking, the Holy Spirit fell on all who were listening to the message.
| فَدُهِشَ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ الْيَهُودُ الَّذِينَ جَاءُوا بِرِفْقَةِ بُطْرُسَ، لأَنَّ هِبَةَ الرُّوحِ الْقُدُسِ فَاضَتْ أَيْضاً عَلَى غَيْرِ الْيَهُودِ، | ٤٥ 45 |
And all the Jewish believers who had accompanied Peter were amazed, because the gift of the Holy Spirit was poured out upon the Gentiles also.
| إِذْ سَمِعُوهُمْ يَتَكَلَّمُونَ بِلُغَاتٍ، وَيُسَبِّحُونَ اللهَ. فَقَالَ بُطْرُسُ: | ٤٦ 46 |
For they heard them speak with tongues and magnify God.
| «أَيَسْتَطِيعُ أَحَدٌ أَنْ يَمْنَعَ الْمَاءَ فَلا يَتَعَمَّدَ أَيْضاً هَؤُلاءِ الَّذِينَ نَالُوا الرُّوحَ الْقُدُسَ مِثْلَنَا؟» | ٤٧ 47 |
Then Peter said, "Can any one refuse water for the baptism of these men who have received the Holy Spirit as well as we?"
| وَأَمَرَ أَنْ يَتَعَمَّدُوا بِاسْمِ يَسُوعَ الْمَسِيحِ. ثُمَّ دَعَوْهُ أَنْ يُقِيمَ عِنْدَهُمْ بِضْعَةَ أَيَّامٍ. | ٤٨ 48 |
And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. Then they begged him to remain with them for a time.
