أعمال 20
| بَعْدَمَا انْتَهَى الاضْطِرَابُ، دَعَا بُولُسُ التَّلامِيذَ وَشَجَّعَهُمْ، ثُمَّ وَدَّعَهُمْ وَسَافَرَ إِلَى مُقَاطَعَةِ مَقِدُونِيَّةَ، | ١ 1 |
Now after the uproar had ended, Paul summoned the disciples, took leave of them, and set out for Macedonia.
| وَتَجَوَّلَ فِيهَا يَعِظُ وَيُشَجِّعُ التَّلامِيذَ فِي كُلِّ مَكَانٍ. وَأَخِيراً وَصَلَ إِلَى اليُونَانِ، | ٢ 2 |
When he had gone through those parts and encouraged them with many words, he came into Greece.
| وَقَضَى فِيهَا ثَلاثَةَ أَشْهُرٍ. وَبَيْنَمَا كَانَ يَسْتَعِدُّ لِلسَّفَرِ بَحْراً إِلَى سُورِيَّةَ، عَرَفَ أَنَّ الْيَهُودَ يُدَبِّرُونَ مُؤَامَرَةً لِقَتْلِهِ. فَقَرَّرَ أَنْ يَعُودَ بِطَرِيقِ مَقِدُونِيَّةَ. | ٣ 3 |
When he had stayed three months, as he was about to set sail for Syria, the Jews made a plot against him, so he decided to return through Macedonia.
| وَرَافَقَهُ فِي السَّفَرِ سُوبَاتَرُسُ بْنُ بِرُّسَ مِنْ بِيرِيَّةَ؛ وَأَرِسْتَرْخُسُ وَسَكُونْدُسُ مِنْ تَسَالُونِيكِي؛ وَغَايُوسُ وَتيمُوثَاوُسُ مِنْ دَرْبَةَ، وَتِيخِيكُسُ وَتُرُوفِيمُسُ مِنْ مُقَاطَعَةِ أَسِيَّا. | ٤ 4 |
Now Sopater of Berea, Aristarchus and Secundus of the Thessalonians, Gaius of Derbe, Timothy, and Tychicus and Trophimus of Asia were going to accompany him as far as Asia;
| هَؤُلاءِ سَبَقُونَا مَعَ بُولُسَ وَانْتَظَرُونَا فِي تَرُوَاسَ. | ٥ 5 |
so having gone on ahead, these men were waiting for us in Troas.
| وَبَعْدَ عِيدِ الْفَطِيرِ الْيَهُودِيِّ سَافَرْنَا نَحْنُ مِنْ فِيلِبِّي، بِطَرِيقِ الْبَحْرِ، فَوَصَلْنَا تَرُوَاسَ بَعْدَ خَمْسَةِ أَيَّامٍ، فَلَحِقْنَا بِهِمْ، وَبَقِينَا هُنَاكَ سَبْعَةَ أَيَّامٍ. | ٦ 6 |
But it was after the Days of Unleavened Bread that we sailed from Philippi, and in five days we joined them at Troas, where we stayed seven days.
| وَفِي أَوَّلِ يَوْمٍ مِنَ الأُسْبُوعِ، إِذِ اجْتَمَعْنَا لِنَكْسِرَ الْخُبْزَ، أَخَذَ بُولُسُ يَعِظُ الْمُجْتَمِعِينَ. وَلَمَّا كَانَ يَنْوِي السَّفَرَ فِي الْيَوْمِ التَّالِي، أَطَالَ وَعْظَهُ إِلَى مُنْتَصَفِ اللَّيْلِ. | ٧ 7 |
Now on the first day of the week, the disciples being assembled to break bread, Paul started addressing them, and because he intended to leave the next day he continued his message until midnight.
| وَكَانَ اجْتِمَاعُنَا فِي غُرْفَةٍ بِالطَّبَقَةِ الْعُلْيَا، وَقَدْ أُشْعِلَتْ فِيهَا مَصَابِيحُ كَثِيرَةٌ. | ٨ 8 |
There were many lamps in the upper room where we were assembled.
| وَكَانَ شَابٌّ اسْمُهُ أَفْتِيخُوسُ قَدْ جَلَسَ عَلَى النَّافِذَةِ، فَغَلَبَ عَلَيْهِ النَّوْمُ الْعَمِيقُ، وَبُولُسُ مَاضٍ فِي حَدِيثِهِ الطَّوِيلِ، فَسَقَطَ مِنَ الطَّبَقَةِ الثَّالِثَةِ وَحُمِلَ مَيِّتاً. | ٩ 9 |
Well a certain young man named Eutychus sat in a window and was sinking into a deep sleep as Paul kept on talking; when he was overcome by the sleep he fell down from the third story and was picked up dead.
| فَنَزَلَ بُولُسُ وَارْتَمَى عَلَيْهِ، وَطَوَّقَهُ بِذِرَاعَيْهِ وَقَالَ: «لا تَقْلَقُوا! مَاتَزَالُ حَيَاتُهُ فِيهِ!» | ١٠ 10 |
So Paul went down, threw himself on him and embracing him said, “Do not be distressed, because his life is in him!”
| وَبَعْدَمَا صَعِدَ بُولُسُ وَكَسَرَ الْخُبْزَ وَأَكَلَ، ثُمَّ تَابَعَ حَدِيثَهُ إِلَى الْفَجْرِ، سَافَرَ بَرّاً (إِلَى أَسُّوسَ). | ١١ 11 |
Then he went back up and broke bread, ate, and kept on speaking until daybreak—that is how he left!
| أَمَّا الشَّابُّ فَجَاءُوا بِهِ حَيًّا، فَكَانَ لَهُمْ فِي ذَلِكَ عَزَاءٌ عَظِيمٌ. | ١٢ 12 |
(On their part, they led the boy away alive, and were greatly comforted.)
| وَأَمَّا نَحْنُ فَسَبَقْنَا بُولُسَ وَتَوَجَّهْنَا إِلَى أَسُّوسَ بِطَرِيقِ الْبَحْرِ، حَيْثُ انْتَظَرْنَا وُصُولَهُ حَسَبَ الْخُطَّةِ الَّتِي كَانَ قَدْ رَسَمَهَا بِأَنْ يُوَافِيَنَا سَيْراً عَلَى قَدَمَيْهِ. | ١٣ 13 |
As for us, we went to the ship and set sail for Assos, intending to take Paul on board there—so it had been arranged, he himself intending to go on foot.
| فَلَمَّا لَحِقَ بِنَا، أَصْعَدْنَاهُ إِلَى السَّفِينَةِ، وَأَبْحَرْنَا إِلَى مِينَاءِ مِيتِيلِينِي | ١٤ 14 |
When he met us at Assos we took him aboard and went on to Mityline.
| وَتَابَعْنَا السَّفَرَ فَوَصَلْنَا فِي الْيَوْمِ التَّالِي أَمَامَ جَزِيرَةِ خِيُوسَ. وَفِي الْيَوْمِ الثَّالِثِ مَرَرْنَا بِالْقُرْبِ مِنْ جَزِيرَةِ سَامُوسَ، وَوَصَلْنَا مِيلِيتُسَ فِي الْيَوْمِ الرَّابِعِ. | ١٥ 15 |
Sailing from there, the next day we arrived opposite Chios, and the day after we crossed over to Samos and stopped in Trogylium; the following day we came to Miletus.
| وَكَانَ بُولُسُ قَدْ قَرَّرَ أَنْ يَتَجَاوَزَ أَفَسُسَ فِي الْبَحْرِ لِكَيْ لَا يَتَأَخَّرَ فِي مُقَاطَعَةِ أَسِيَّا، فَقَدْ كَانَ يُرِيدُ السُّرْعَةَ لَعَلَّهُ يَتَمَكَّنُ مِنَ الوُصُولِ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ فِي يَوْمِ الْخَمْسِينَ. | ١٦ 16 |
(Paul had decided to sail past Ephesus, to avoid being detained in Asia, because he was hurrying to be in Jerusalem on the Day of Pentecost, if he possibly could.)
| وَمِنْ مِيلِيتُسَ أَرْسَلَ بُولُسُ إِلَى أَفَسُسَ يَسْتَدْعِي شُيُوخَ الْكَنِيسَةِ. | ١٧ 17 |
From Miletus he sent to Ephesus and summoned the elders of the congregation.
| فَلَمَّا جَاءُوا إِلَيْهِ، قَالَ لَهُمْ: «تَعْلَمُونَ كَيْفَ كَانَ تَصَرُّفِي مَعَكُمْ طَوَالَ الْمُدَّةِ الَّتِي قَضَيْتُهَا بَيْنَكُمْ، مُنْذُ أَوَّلِ يَوْمٍ دَخَلْتُ فِيهِ مُقَاطَعَةَ أَسِيَّا. | ١٨ 18 |
So when they had come to him he said to them: “You yourselves know, from the first day that I arrived in Asia, how I lived the whole time I was with you,
| فَقَدْ كُنْتُ أَخْدِمُ الرَّبَّ بِكُلِّ تَوَاضُعٍ، وَبِكَثِيرٍ مِنَ الدُّمُوعِ، وَأَنَا أُعَانِي الْمِحَنَ الَّتِي أَصَابَتْنِي بِها مُؤَامَرَاتُ الْيَهُودِ. | ١٩ 19 |
serving the Lord with all humility, and with many tears and trials, the ones that happened to me by the plots of the Jews;
| وَمَا قَصَّرْتُ فِي شَيْءٍ يُمْكِنُ أَنْ يَعُودَ عَلَيْكُمْ بِالْفَائِدَةِ إِلّا وَكُنْتُ أُعْلِنُهُ لَكُمْ وَأُعَلِّمُكُمْ بِهِ عَلَناً وَمِنْ بَيْتٍ إِلَى بَيْتٍ. | ٢٠ 20 |
how I did not shrink from declaring to you anything that was profitable, teaching you publicly and from house to house,
| فَكُنْتُ أَحُثُّ الْيَهُودَ وَالْيُونَانِيِّينَ عَلَى أَنْ يَتُوبُوا إِلَى اللهِ وَيُؤْمِنُوا بِرَبِّنَا يَسُوعَ. | ٢١ 21 |
solemnly proclaiming to both Jews and Greeks the repentance toward God and the faith into our Lord Jesus.
| وَأَنَا الْيَوْمَ ذَاهِبٌ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ، مَدْفُوعاً بِالرُّوحِ، وَلا أَعْلَمُ مَاذَا يَنْتَظِرُنِي هُنَاكَ. | ٢٢ 22 |
Now then, I am going to Jerusalem bound in my spirit, not knowing the things that will happen to me there,
| إِلّا أَنَّ الرُّوحَ الْقُدُسَ كَانَ يُعْلِنُ لِي فِي كُلِّ مَدِينَةٍ أَذْهَبُ إِلَيْهَا أَنَّ السِّجْنَ وَالْمَصَاعِبَ تَنْتَظِرُنِي | ٢٣ 23 |
except that the Holy Spirit keeps warning me in every city, saying that fetters and afflictions are just waiting for me.
| وَلكِنِّي لَا أَحْسُبُ لِحَيَاتِي أَيَّةَ قِيمَةٍ، مَادُمْتُ أَسْعَى إِلَى بُلُوغِ غَايَتِي وَإِتْمَامِ الْخِدْمَةِ الَّتِي كَلَّفَنِي إِيَّاهَا الرَّبُّ يَسُوعُ: أَنْ أَشْهَدَ بِبِشَارَةِ نِعْمَةِ اللهِ. | ٢٤ 24 |
However none of this moves me, nor do I regard my life as valuable to myself, just so that I may complete my course with joy, even the ministry that I received from the Lord Jesus, to solemnly proclaim the Good News of the grace of God.
| وَأَنَا أَعْلَمُ أَنَّكُمْ لَنْ تَرَوْا وَجْهِي بَعْدَ الْيَوْمِ، أَنْتُمُ الَّذِينَ تَجَوَّلْتُ بَيْنَكُمْ جَمِيعاً مُبَشِّراً بِمَلَكُوتِ اللهِ. | ٢٥ 25 |
“Furthermore, I know that none of you among whom I have gone about proclaiming the Kingdom of God will ever see my face again.
| لِذَلِكَ أَشْهَدُ لَكُمُ الْيَوْمَ أَنِّي بَرِيءٌ مِنْ دَمِكُمْ جَمِيعاً، | ٢٦ 26 |
Therefore I testify to you this day that I am innocent of the blood of all;
| لأَنِّي لَمْ أَمْتَنِعْ عَنْ إِبْلاغِكُمْ جَمِيعَ مَقَاصِدِ اللهِ. | ٢٧ 27 |
because I did not shrink from declaring to you the whole counsel of God.
| فَاسْهَرُوا إِذَنْ عَلَى أَنْفُسِكُمْ وَعَلَى جَمِيعِ الْقَطِيعِ الَّذِي عَيَّنَكُمْ بَيْنَهُ الرُّوحُ الْقُدُسُ نُظَّاراً، لِتَرْعَوْا كَنِيسَةَ اللهِ الَّتِي اشْتَرَاهَا بِدَمِهِ. | ٢٨ 28 |
So take heed to yourselves and to all the flock, in which the Holy Spirit has placed you as overseers, to shepherd the congregation of the Lord and God which He purchased with His own blood.
| فَإِنِّي أَعْلَمُ أَنَّهُ بَعْدَ رَحِيلِي سَيَنْدَسُّ بَيْنَكُمْ ذِئَابٌ خَاطِفَةٌ، لَا تُشْفِقُ عَلَى الْقَطِيعِ. | ٢٩ 29 |
Because I know this, that after my departure savage wolves will come in among you, not sparing the flock.
| بَلْ إِنَّ قَوْماً مِنْكُمْ أَنْتُمْ سَيَقُومُونَ وَيُعَلِّمُونَ تَعَالِيمَ مُنْحَرِفَةً، لِيَجُرُّوا التَّلامِيذَ وَرَاءَهُمْ. | ٣٠ 30 |
Yes, men will rise up from among you yourselves, speaking distorted things, to draw away the disciples after them.
| لِذَلِكَ كُونُوا مُتَيَقِّظِينَ، وَتَذَكَّرُوا أَنِّي، مُدَّةَ ثَلاثِ سِنِينَ، لَمْ أَتَوَقَّفْ لَيْلاً وَنَهَاراً عَنْ نُصْحِ كُلِّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْكُمْ وَأَنَا أَذْرِفُ الدُّمُوعَ. | ٣١ 31 |
Therefore be alert, remembering that during three years, night and day, I never stopped admonishing each one, with tears.
| وَالآنَ أُسْلِمُكُمْ إِلَى اللهِ وَإِلَى كَلِمَةِ نِعْمَتِهِ الْقَادِرَةِ أَنْ تَبْنِيَكُمْ وَتُعْطِيَكُمْ مِيرَاثاً تَشْتَرِكُونَ فِيهِ مَعَ جَمِيعِ الْمُقَدَّسِينَ لِلهِ. | ٣٢ 32 |
“And so now, brothers, I entrust you to God and to the Word of His grace, which is able to build you up and to give you an inheritance among all those who have been sanctified.
| مَا اشْتَهَيْتُ يَوْماً فِضَّةً وَلا ذَهَباً وَلا ثَوْباً مِنْ عِنْدِ أَحَدٍ. | ٣٣ 33 |
I have not coveted anyone's silver or gold or clothing.
| وَأَنْتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ أَنِّي اشْتَغَلْتُ بِيَدَيَّ هَاتَيْنِ لأَسُدَّ حَاجَاتِي وَحَاجَاتِ مُرَافِقِيَّ. | ٣٤ 34 |
You yourselves know that these hands have supplied my own needs, and of those who were with me.
| وَقَدْ أَظْهَرْتُ لَكُمْ بِوُضُوحٍ كَيْفَ يَجِبُ أَنْ نَبْذُلَ الْجَهْدَ لِنُسَاعِدَ الْمُحْتَاجِينَ، مُتَذَكِّرِينَ كَلِمَاتِ الرَّبِّ يَسُوعَ، إِذْ قَالَ: الْغِبْطَةُ فِي الْعَطَاءِ أَكْثَرُ مِمَّا فِي الأَخْذِ!» | ٣٥ 35 |
In every way I showed you that working hard like this it is necessary to help the weak, and to remember the word of the Lord Jesus, that He Himself said, ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’”
| وَبَعْدَ هَذَا الْكَلامِ رَكَعَ بُولُسُ مَعَهُمْ جَمِيعاً وَصَلَّى. | ٣٦ 36 |
When he had said these things, he knelt down and prayed with them all.
| وَبَكَى الْجَمِيعُ كَثِيراً، وَعَانَقُوا بُولُسَ وَقَبَّلُوهُ بِحَرَارَةٍ. | ٣٧ 37 |
Then they all wept freely, and falling on Paul's neck kept kissing him,
| وَقَدْ حَزِنُوا كَثِيراً، خَاصَّةً لأَنَّهُ قَالَ لَهُمْ إِنَّهُمْ لَنْ يَرَوْا وَجْهَهُ مَرَّةً أُخْرَى. ثُمَّ رَافَقُوهُ إِلَى السَّفِينَةِ مُوَدِّعِينَ. | ٣٨ 38 |
sorrowing most of all because of the word that he had spoken, that they would see his face no more. And they accompanied him to the ship.
