أعمال 10
| وَكَانَ يَسْكُنُ فِي قَيْصَرِيَّةَ قَائِدُ مِئَةٍ اسْمُهُ كَرْنِيلِيُوسُ، يَنْتَمِي إِلَى الْكَتِيبَةِ الإِيطَالِيَّةِ، | ١ 1 |
Now there was a certain man in Caesarea, Cornelius by name, a centurion of what was called the Italian Regiment,
| وَكَانَ تَقِيًّا يَخَافُ اللهَ، هُوَ وَأَهْلُ بَيْتِهِ جَمِيعاً، يَتَصَدَّقُ عَلَى الشَّعْبِ كَثِيراً، وَيُصَلِّي إِلَى اللهِ دَائِماً. | ٢ 2 |
a devout man, and one who feared God with all his house, who gave gifts for the needy generously to the people, and always 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 |
At about three in the afternoon, he clearly saw in a vision an angel of God coming to him, and saying to him, "Cornelius."
| فَنَظَرَ إِلَى الْمَلاكِ وَقَدِ اسْتَوْلَى عَلَيْهِ الْخَوْفُ، وَسَأَلَ: «مَاذَا يَا سَيِّدُ؟» فَأَجَابَهُ: «صَلَوَاتُكَ وَصَدَقَاتُكَ صَعِدَتْ أَمَامَ اللهِ تَذْكَاراً. | ٤ 4 |
He, fastening his eyes on him, and being frightened, said, "What is it, Lord?" He said to him, "Your prayers and your gifts to the needy have gone up for a memorial before God.
| وَالآنَ أَرْسِلْ بَعْضَ الرِّجَالِ إِلَى يَافَا وَاسْتَدْعِ سِمْعَانَ الْمُلَقَّبَ بُطْرُسَ. | ٥ 5 |
Now send men to Joppa, and bring one Simon who is surnamed Peter.
| إِنَّهُ يُقِيمُ فِي بَيْتِ سِمْعَانَ الدَّبَّاغِ عِنْدَ الْبَحْرِ». | ٦ 6 |
He lodges with one Simon, a tanner, whose house is by the seaside."
| فَمَا إِنْ ذَهَبَ الْمَلاكُ الَّذِي كَانَ يُكَلِّمُ كَرْنِيلِيُوسَ، حَتَّى دَعَا اثْنَيْنِ مِنْ خَدَمِهِ، وَجُنْدِيًّا تَقِيًّا مِنْ مُرَافِقِيهِ الدَّائِمِينَ، | ٧ 7 |
When the angel who spoke to him had departed, he called two of his household servants and a devout soldier of those who waited on him continually.
| وَرَوَى لَهُمُ الْخَبَرَ كُلَّهُ، وَأَرْسَلَهُمْ إِلَى يَافَا. | ٨ 8 |
Having explained everything to them, 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 |
Now on the next day as they were on their journey, and got close to the city, Peter went up on the housetop to pray at about noon.
| وَأَحَسَّ جُوعاً شَدِيداً، فَاشْتَهَى أَنْ يَأْكُلَ. وَبَيْنَمَا الطَّعَامُ يُعَدُّ لَهُ، وَقَعَتْ عَلَيْهِ غَيْبُوبَةٌ، | ١٠ 10 |
He became hungry and desired to eat, but while they were preparing, he fell into a trance.
| فَرَأَى رُؤْيَا: السَّمَاءَ مَفْتُوحَةً، وَوِعَاءً يُشْبِهُ قِطْعَةً كَبِيرَةً مِنَ الْقُمَاشِ مَرْبُوطَةً بِأَطْرَافِهَا الأَرْبَعَةِ يَتَدَلَّى إِلَى الأَرْضِ، | ١١ 11 |
He saw heaven opened and a certain container descending to him, like a great sheet let down by four corners on the earth,
| وَهُوَ مَلِيءٌ بِأَنْوَاعِ الْحَيَوَانَاتِ الدَّابَّةِ عَلَى الأَرْضِ وَالْوُحُوشِ وَالزَّوَاحِفِ وَطُيُورِ السَّمَاءِ جَمِيعاً. | ١٢ 12 |
in which were all kinds of four-footed animals of the earth, crawling creatures and birds of the sky.
| وَنَادَاهُ صَوْتٌ: «يَا بُطْرُسُ، قُمِ اذْبَحْ وَكُلْ!» | ١٣ 13 |
A voice came to him, "Rise, Peter, kill and eat."
| وَلَكِنَّ بُطْرُسَ أَجَابَ: «كَلَّا يَا رَبُّ، فَأَنَا لَمْ آكُلْ قَطُّ شَيْئاً مُحَرَّماً أَوْ نَجِساً». | ١٤ 14 |
But Peter said, "Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten anything that is common or unclean."
| فَقَالَ لَهُ الصَّوْتُ أَيْضاً: «مَا طَهَّرَهُ اللهُ لَا تَحْسَبْهُ أَنْتَ نَجِساً!» | ١٥ 15 |
A voice came to him again the second time, "What God has cleansed, you must not call unclean."
| وَتَكَرَّرَ هَذَا ثَلاثَ مَرَّاتٍ، ثُمَّ ارْتَفَعَ الْوِعَاءُ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ. | ١٦ 16 |
This was done three times, and immediately the vessel was received up into heaven.
| 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 very perplexed within himself what the vision which he had seen might mean, look, the men who were sent by Cornelius, having made inquiry for Simon's house, stood before the gate,
| يَسْتَخْبِرُونَ: «هَلْ سِمْعَانُ الْمُلَقَّبُ بُطْرُسَ مُقِيمٌ هُنَا؟» | ١٨ 18 |
and called and asked whether Simon, who was surnamed Peter, was lodging there.
| فِي هَذِهِ الأَثْنَاءِ كَانَ بُطْرُسُ يُوَاصِلُ التَّفْكِيرَ فِي مَعْنَى الرُّؤْيَا، فَقَالَ لَهُ الرُّوحُ: «بِالْبَابِ ثَلاثَةُ رِجَالٍ يَطْلُبُونَكَ | ١٩ 19 |
While Peter was pondering the vision, the Spirit said to him, "Look, three men seek you.
| فَانْزِلْ إِلَيْهِمْ وَرَافِقْهُمْ بِلا تَرَدُّدٍ، فَإِنِّي أَنَا أَرْسَلْتُهُمْ». | ٢٠ 20 |
But arise, get down, and go with them, doubting nothing; for I have sent them."
| فَنَزَلَ إِلَيْهِمْ وَقَالَ: «أَنَا الَّذِي تَطْلُبُونَ. فَمَا سَبَبُ حُضُورِكُمْ؟» | ٢١ 21 |
And Peter went down to the men, and said, "Look, I am the one whom you seek. Why have you come?"
| 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 |
They said, "Cornelius, a centurion, a righteous man and one who fears God, and well spoken of by all the Jewish nation, was directed by a holy angel to invite you to his house, and to listen to what you say."
| فَدَعَاهُمْ بُطْرُسُ لِيُمْضُوا اللَّيْلَةَ ضُيُوفاً بِذَلِكَ الْبَيْتِ. وَفِي الصَّبَاحِ ذَهَبَ مَعَهُمْ، يُرَافِقُهُ بَعْضُ الإِخْوَةِ مِنْ يَافَا، | ٢٣ 23 |
So he called them in and lodged them. On the next day he arose and went out with them, and some of the brothers from Joppa accompanied him.
| فَوَصَلُوا قَيْصَرِيَّةَ فِي الْيَوْمِ الثَّانِي. وَكَانَ كَرْنِيلِيُوسُ يَنْتَظِرُ وُصُولَهُمْ، وَقَدْ دَعَا أَقَارِبَهُ وَأَصْدِقَاءَهُ الْمُقَرَّبِينَ. | ٢٤ 24 |
On the next day he entered into Caesarea. Cornelius was waiting for them, having called together his relatives and his near friends.
| فَمَا إِنْ دَخَلَ بُطْرُسُ حَتَّى اسْتَقْبَلَهُ كَرْنِيلِيُوسُ سَاجِداً لَهُ، | ٢٥ 25 |
When it happened that Peter entered, Cornelius met him, fell down at his feet, and worshiped him.
| فَأَنْهَضَهُ بُطْرُسُ وَقَالَ: «قُمْ! مَا أَنَا إِلّا إِنْسَانٌ مِثْلُكَ!» | ٢٦ 26 |
But Peter raised him up, saying, "Stand up. I myself am also a man."
| وَدَخَلَ بُطْرُسُ وَهُوَ يُحَادِثُهُ، فَرَأَى جَمْعاً كَبِيراً مِنَ النَّاسِ، | ٢٧ 27 |
And as he talked with him, he went in and found many gathered together.
| 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 |
He said to them, "You yourselves know how it is an unlawful thing for a man who is a Jew to join himself or come to one of another nation, but God has shown me that I should not call any man unholy or unclean.
| فَلِذَلِكَ جِئْتُ مِنْ غَيْرِ اعْتِرَاضٍ، تَلْبِيَةً لِدَعْوَتِكُمْ. فَمَا هُوَ سَبَبُ دَعْوَتِكُمْ لِي؟» | ٢٩ 29 |
Therefore also I came without complaint when I was sent for. I ask therefore, why did you send 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 said, "Four days ago until this hour, at three in the afternoon, I was praying in my house, and look, a man stood before me in bright clothing,
| وَقَالَ لِي: يَا كَرْنِيلِيُوسُ، سَمِعَ اللهُ صَلاتَكَ وَذَكَرَ صَدَقَاتِكَ. | ٣١ 31 |
and said, 'Cornelius, your prayer is heard, and your gifts to the needy are remembered in the sight of God.
| وَالآنَ أَرْسِلْ رِجَالاً إِلَى يَافَا، وَاسْتَدْعِ سِمْعَانَ الْمُلَقَّبَ بُطْرُسَ. إِنَّهُ يُقِيمُ فِي بَيْتِ سِمْعَانَ الدَّبَّاغِ عِنْدَ الْبَحْرِ. | ٣٢ 32 |
Send therefore to Joppa, and summon Simon, who is surnamed Peter. He lodges in the house of Simon, a tanner, by the seaside.'
| فَأَرْسَلْتُ حَالاً أَدْعُوكَ، وَقَدْ أَحْسَنْتَ بِمَجِيئِكَ. وَنَحْنُ الآنَ جَمِيعاً حَاضِرُونَ أَمَامَ اللهِ لِنَسْمَعَ كُلَّ مَا أَمَرَكَ بِهِ الرَّبُّ». | ٣٣ 33 |
Therefore I sent to you at once, and it was good of you to come. Now therefore we are all here present in the sight of God to hear all things that have been commanded you by the Lord."
| فَبَدَأَ بُطْرُسُ كَلامَهُ قَائِلاً: «تَبَيَّنَ لِي فِعْلاً أَنَّ اللهَ لَا يُفَضِّلُ أَحَداً عَلَى أَحَدٍ، | ٣٤ 34 |
And Peter opened his mouth and said, "Truly I perceive that God does not show favoritism;
| 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 |
The word which he sent to the children of Israel, preaching good news of peace through Jesus Christ—he 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 |
that spoken word you yourselves know, which was proclaimed throughout all Judea, beginning from 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 |
even Jesus of Nazareth, how God anointed him with the Holy Spirit and with power, who went about doing good and healing 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 |
We are witnesses of everything he did both in the land of the Jews and in Jerusalem, whom they also killed by hanging on a tree.
| وَلَكِنَّ اللهَ أَقَامَهُ مِنَ الْمَوْتِ فِي الْيَوْمِ الثَّالِثِ، وَجَعَلَهُ يَظْهَرُ، | ٤٠ 40 |
God raised him up the third day, and gave him to be revealed,
| 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 who were chosen before by God, to us, who ate and drank with him after he rose from the dead.
| ثُمَّ أَمَرَنَا أَنْ نُبَشِّرَ شَعْبَنَا بِهِ، وَنَشْهَدَ أَنَّهُ هُوَ الَّذِي عَيَّنَهُ اللهُ دَيَّاناً لِلأَحْيَاءِ وَلِلأَمْوَاتِ. | ٤٢ 42 |
He commanded us to preach to the people and to testify that this is the one who is appointed by God as the judge of the living and the dead.
| لَهُ يَشْهَدُ جَمِيعُ الأَنْبِيَاءِ أَنَّ كُلَّ مَنْ يُؤْمِنْ بِهِ يَنَلْ بِاسْمِهِ غُفْرَانَ الْخَطَايَا». | ٤٣ 43 |
All the prophets testify about him, that through his name everyone who believes in him receives forgiveness of sins."
| وَبَيْنَمَا كَانَ بُطْرُسُ يَتَكَلَّمُ بِهَذَا الْكَلامِ، حَلَّ الرُّوحُ الْقُدُسُ عَلَى جَمِيعِ الَّذِينَ كَانُوا يَسْمَعُونَ. | ٤٤ 44 |
While Peter was still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit fell on all those who heard the word.
| فَدُهِشَ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ الْيَهُودُ الَّذِينَ جَاءُوا بِرِفْقَةِ بُطْرُسَ، لأَنَّ هِبَةَ الرُّوحِ الْقُدُسِ فَاضَتْ أَيْضاً عَلَى غَيْرِ الْيَهُودِ، | ٤٥ 45 |
They of the circumcision who believed were amazed, as many as came with Peter, because the gift of the Holy Spirit was also poured out on the non-Jewish people.
| إِذْ سَمِعُوهُمْ يَتَكَلَّمُونَ بِلُغَاتٍ، وَيُسَبِّحُونَ اللهَ. فَقَالَ بُطْرُسُ: | ٤٦ 46 |
For they heard them speaking in other tongues and magnifying God. Then Peter answered,
| «أَيَسْتَطِيعُ أَحَدٌ أَنْ يَمْنَعَ الْمَاءَ فَلا يَتَعَمَّدَ أَيْضاً هَؤُلاءِ الَّذِينَ نَالُوا الرُّوحَ الْقُدُسَ مِثْلَنَا؟» | ٤٧ 47 |
"Can anyone withhold the water, that these who have received the Holy Spirit as well as we should not be baptized?"
| وَأَمَرَ أَنْ يَتَعَمَّدُوا بِاسْمِ يَسُوعَ الْمَسِيحِ. ثُمَّ دَعَوْهُ أَنْ يُقِيمَ عِنْدَهُمْ بِضْعَةَ أَيَّامٍ. | ٤٨ 48 |
He commanded them to be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. Then they asked him to stay some days.
