أعمال 26
| فَقَالَ أَغْرِيبَاسُ لِبُولُسَ: «إِنَّنَا نَسْمَحُ لَكَ بِالدِّفَاعِ عَنْ نَفْسِكَ». فَأَشَارَ بُولُسُ بِيَدِهِ، وَابْتَدَأَ دِفَاعَهُ قَائِلاً: | ١ 1 |
Agrippa said to Paul, "You may speak for yourself." Then Paul stretched out his hand, and made his defense.
| «أَيُّهَا الْمَلِكُ أَغْرِيبَاسُ، يُسْعِدُنِي أَنْ أُدَافِعَ عَنْ نَفْسِي فِي حَضْرَتِكَ، وَأَرُدَّ كُلَّ مَا يَتَّهِمُنِي بِهِ الْيَهُودُ، | ٢ 2 |
"I consider myself fortunate, King Agrippa, that I am to make my defense before you this day concerning all the things that I am accused by the Jews,
| وَبِخَاصَّةٍ لأَنَّكَ تَعْرِفُ تَمَاماً طُقُوسَهُمْ وَمُجَادَلاتِهِمْ. فَأَلْتَمِسُ أَنْ تَسْمَعَنِي بِرَحَابَةِ صَدْرٍ. | ٣ 3 |
especially because you are expert in all customs and questions which are among Jews. Therefore I beg you to hear me patiently.
| إِنَّ الْيَهُودَ جَمِيعاً يَعْرِفُونَ نَشْأَتِي مِنَ الْبَدَايَةِ. فَقَدْ عِشْتُ بَيْنَ شَعْبِي فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ مُنْذُ صِغَرِي. | ٤ 4 |
"Indeed, all Jews know my way of life from my youth up, which was from the beginning among my own nation and at Urishlim;
| وَمَادَامُوا يَعْرِفُونَنِي مِنَ الْبَدَايَةِ، فَلَوْ أَرَادُوا لَشَهِدُوا أَنَّنِي كُنْتُ فَرِّيسِيًّا، أَيْ تَابِعاً لِلْمَذْهَبِ الأَكْثَرِ تَشَدُّداً فِي دِيَانَتِنَا. | ٥ 5 |
having known me from the first, if they are willing to testify, that after the strictest sect of our religion I lived a Pharisee.
| وَأَنَا الْيَوْمَ أُحَاكَمُ لأَنَّ لِي رَجَاءً بِأَنْ يُحَقِّقَ اللهُ مَا وَعَدَ بِهِ آبَاءَنَا، | ٦ 6 |
Now I stand here to be judged for the hope of the promise made by God to our fathers,
| وَمَازَالَتْ أَسْبَاطُ شَعْبِنَا الاثْنَا عَشَرَ تُوَاظِبُ عَلَى الْعِبَادَةِ لَيْلَ نَهَارَ رَاجِيَةً تَحْقِيقَهُ. مِنْ أَجْلِ هَذَا الرَّجَاءِ، أَيُّهَا الْمَلِكُ، يَتَّهِمُنِي الْيَهُودُ. | ٧ 7 |
which our twelve tribes, earnestly serving night and day, hope to attain. Concerning this hope I am accused by the Jews, O King.
| لِمَاذَا لَا تُصَدِّقُونَ أَنَّ اللهَ يُقِيمُ الأَمْوَاتَ؟ | ٨ 8 |
Why is it judged incredible with you, if God does raise the dead?
| وَكُنْتُ أَعْتَقِدُ أَنَّهُ يَجِبُ أَنْ أَبْذُلَ غَايَةَ جَهْدِي لأُقَاوِمَ اسْمَ يَسُوعَ النَّاصِرِيِّ. | ٩ 9 |
"In fact, I thought to myself that I ought to do many things against the name of Yeshua the Natsraya.
| وَقَدْ عَمِلْتُ عَلَى تَنْفِيذِ خُطَّتِي فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ بِتَفْوِيضٍ خَاصٍّ مِنْ رُؤَسَاءِ الْكَهَنَةِ، فَأَلْقَيْتُ فِي السِّجْنِ عَدَداً كَبِيراً مِنَ الْقِدِّيسِينَ. وَكُنْتُ أُعْطِي صَوْتِي بِالْمُوَافَقَةِ عِنْدَمَا كَانَ الْمَجْلِسُ يَحْكُمُ بِإِعْدَامِهِمْ. | ١٠ 10 |
This I also did in Urishlim. I both shut up many of the saints in prisons, having received authority from the chief priests, and when they were put to death I gave my vote against them.
| وَكَمْ عَذَّبْتُهُمْ فِي الْمَجَامِعِ كُلِّهَا لأُجْبِرَهُمْ عَلَى التَّجْدِيفِ. وَقَدْ بَلَغَ حِقْدِي عَلَيْهِمْ دَرَجَةً جَعَلَتْنِي أُطَارِدُهُمْ فِي الْمُدُنِ الَّتِي فِي خَارِجِ الْبِلادِ. | ١١ 11 |
Punishing them often in all the synagogues, I tried to make them blaspheme. Being exceedingly enraged against them, I persecuted them even to foreign cities.
| وَتَوَجَّهْتُ إِلَى مَدِينَةِ دِمَشْقَ بِتَفْوِيضٍ وَتَرْخِيصٍ مِنْ رُؤَسَاءِ الْكَهَنَةِ، | ١٢ 12 |
"Whereupon as I traveled to Damascus with the authority and commission from the chief priests,
| فَرَأَيْتُ، أَيُّهَا الْمَلِكُ، عَلَى الطَّرِيقِ عِنْدَ الظُّهْرِ نُوراً يَفُوقُ نُورَ الشَّمْسِ يَسْطَعُ حَوْلِي وَحَوْلَ مُرَافِقِيَّ، | ١٣ 13 |
at noon, O King, I saw on the way a light from the sky, brighter than the sun, shining around me and those who traveled with me.
| فَسَقَطْنَا كُلُّنَا عَلَى الأَرْضِ. وَسَمِعْتُ صَوْتاً يُنَادِينِي بِاللُّغَةِ الْعِبْرِيَّةِ قَائِلاً: شَاوُلُ، شَاوُلُ، لِمَاذَا تَضْطَهِدُنِي؟ يَصْعُبُ عَلَيْكَ أَنْ تَرْفُسَ الْمَنَاخِسَ. | ١٤ 14 |
When we had all fallen to the earth, I heard a voice saying to me in the Hebrew language, 'Shaul, Shaul, why are you persecuting me? It is hard for you to kick against the goads.'
| فَسَأَلْتُ: مَنْ أَنْتَ يَا سَيِّدُ؟ فَأَجَابَ: أَنَا يَسُوعُ الَّذِي أَنْتَ تَضْطَهِدُهُ. | ١٥ 15 |
"I said, 'Who are you, Lord?' "He said, 'I am Yeshua, whom you are persecuting.
| انْهَضْ وَقِفْ عَلَى قَدَمَيْكَ، فَقَدْ ظَهَرْتُ لَكَ لأُعَيِّنَكَ خَادِماً لِي وَشَاهِداً بِهَذِهِ الرُّؤْيَا الَّتِي تَرَانِي فِيهَا الآنَ، وَبِالرُّؤَى الَّتِي سَتَرَانِي فِيهَا بَعْدَ الْيَوْمِ. | ١٦ 16 |
But arise, and stand on your feet, for I have appeared to you for this purpose: to appoint you a servant and a witness both of the things which you have seen me, and of the things which I will reveal to you;
| وَسَأُنْقِذُكَ مِنْ شَعْبِكَ وَمِنَ الأُمَمِ الَّتِي أُرْسِلُكَ إِلَيْهَا الآنَ، | ١٧ 17 |
delivering you from the people, and from the non-Jewish people, to whom I send you,
| لِتَفْتَحَ عُيُونَهُمْ كَيْ يَرْجِعُوا مِنَ الظَّلامِ إِلَى النُّورِ، وَمِنْ سَيْطَرَةِ الشَّيْطَانِ إِلَى اللهِ، فَيَنَالُوا غُفْرَانَ الْخَطَايَا وَنَصِيباً بَيْنَ الَّذِينَ تَقَدَّسُوا بِالإِيمَانِ بِي. | ١٨ 18 |
to open their eyes, that they may turn from darkness to light and from the power of Satana to God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins and an inheritance among those who are sanctified by faith in me.'
| وَمِنْ ذَلِكَ الْحِينِ لَمْ أُعَانِدِ الرُّؤْيَا السَّمَاوِيَّةَ، أَيُّهَا الْمَلِكُ أَغْرِيبَاسُ. | ١٩ 19 |
"Therefore, King Agrippa, I was not disobedient to the heavenly vision,
| فَبَشَّرْتُ أَهْلَ دِمَشْقَ أَوَّلاً، ثُمَّ أَهْلَ أُورُشَلِيمَ وَمِنْطَقَةِ الْيَهُودِيَّةِ كُلِّهَا، ثُمَّ الأَجَانِبَ. فَدَعَوْتُ الْجَمِيعَ إِلَى التَّوْبَةِ وَالرُّجُوعِ إِلَى اللهِ، وَالْقِيَامِ بِأَعْمَالٍ تَلِيقُ بِالتَّوْبَةِ. | ٢٠ 20 |
but declared first to them of Damascus, at Urishlim, and throughout all the country of Yehuda, and also to the non-Jews, that they should repent and turn to God, doing works worthy of repentance.
| وَبِسَبَبِ تَبْشِيرِي قَبَضَ الْيَهُودُ عَلَيَّ فِي الْهَيْكَلِ وَحَاوَلُوا أَنْ يَقْتُلُونِي، | ٢١ 21 |
For this reason Jews seized me when I was in the temple, and tried to kill me.
| وَلَكِنَّ اللهَ حَفِظَنِي حَتَّى هَذَا الْيَوْمِ، وَبِمَعُونَتِهِ أَقِفُ أَمَامَ الْبُسَطَاءِ وَالْعُظَمَاءِ شَاهِداً لَهُ وَلَسْتُ أَحِيدُ عَمَّا تَنَبَّأَ بِهِ مُوسَى وَالأَنْبِيَاءُ، | ٢٢ 22 |
Having therefore obtained the help that is from God, I stand to this day testifying both to small and great, saying nothing but what the Prophets and Mushe said would happen,
| مِنْ أَنَّ الْمَسِيحَ سَيَتَأَلَّمُ فَيَكُونُ أَوَّلَ مَنْ يَقُومُ مِنْ بَيْنِ الأَمْوَاتِ، وَيُبَشِّرُ بِالنُّورِ شَعْبَنَا وَالشُّعُوبَ الأُخْرَى». | ٢٣ 23 |
how the Meshikha would suffer, and how, by the resurrection of the dead, he would be first to proclaim light both to these people and to non-Jewish people."
| وَمَا إِنْ وَصَلَ بُولُسُ فِي دِفَاعِهِ إِلَى هَذَا الْحَدِّ، حَتَّى قَاطَعَهُ فَسْتُوسُ قَائِلاً بِصَوْتٍ عَالٍ: «جُنِنْتَ يَا بُولُسُ! إِنَّ تَبَحُّرَكَ فِي الْعِلْمِ أَصَابَكَ بِالْجُنُونِ!» | ٢٤ 24 |
As he thus made his defense, Festus said with a loud voice, "Paul, you are crazy. Your great learning is driving you insane."
| فَقَالَ بُولُسُ: «لَسْتُ مَجْنُوناً يَا سُمُوَّ الْحَاكِمِ فَسْتُوسَ، فَأَنَا أَنْطِقُ بِكَلامِ الْحَقِّ وَالصَّوَابِ. | ٢٥ 25 |
But he said, "I am not crazy, most excellent Festus, but boldly declare words of truth and reasonableness.
| وَالْمَلِكُ الَّذِي أُخَاطِبُهُ الآنَ صَرَاحَةً يَعْرِفُ هَذِهِ الأُمُورَ الَّتِي أَتَحَدَّثُ عَنْهَا، وَأَنَا مُتَأَكِّدٌ أَنَّهُ لَا يَخْفَى عَلَيْهِ شَيْءٌ مِنْهَا، لأَنَّهَا لَمْ تَحْدُثْ فِي زَاوِيَةٍ مُظْلِمَةٍ! | ٢٦ 26 |
For the king knows of these things, to whom also I speak freely. For I am persuaded that none of these things is hidden from him, for this has not been done in a corner.
| أَيُّهَا الْمَلِكُ أَغْرِيبَاسُ، أَتُصَدِّقُ أَقْوَالَ الأَنْبِيَاءِ؟ أَنَا أَعْلَمُ أَنَّكَ تُصَدِّقُهَا!» | ٢٧ 27 |
King Agrippa, do you believe the prophets? I know that you believe."
| فَأَجَابَ أَغْرِيبَاسُ: «قَلِيلاً بَعْدُ، وَتُقْنِعُنِي بِأَنْ أَصِيرَ مَسِيحِيًّا!» | ٢٨ 28 |
Agrippa said to Paul, "With a little persuasion are you trying to make me a Meshihaye?"
| فَقَالَ بُولُسُ: «سَوَاءٌ كَانَ قَلِيلاً أَمْ كَثِيراً، فَإِنَّ صَلاتِي إِلَى اللهِ لأَجْلِكَ وَلأَجْلِ الْحَاضِرِينَ هُنَا جَمِيعاً أَنْ تَصِيرُوا مِثْلِي، ولكِنْ دُونَ هَذِهِ السَّلاسِلِ!» | ٢٩ 29 |
Paul said, "I pray to God, that whether with little or with much, not only you, but also all that hear me this day, might become such as I am, except for these bonds."
| بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ قَامَ الْمَلِكُ وَالْحَاكِمُ وَبَرْنِيكِي وَالْحَاضِرُونَ | ٣٠ 30 |
The king rose up with the governor, and Bernice, and those who sat with them.
| وَتَرَكُوا الْقَاعَةَ، وَهُمْ يَقُولُونَ بَعْضُهُمْ لِبَعْضٍ: «لَمْ يَرْتَكِبْ هَذَا الرَّجُلُ مَا يَسْتَحِقُّ الْمَوْتَ أَوِ السَّجْنَ». | ٣١ 31 |
When they had withdrawn, they spoke one to another, saying, "This man does nothing worthy of death or of bonds."
| وَقَالَ أَغْرِيبَاسُ لِفَسْتُوسَ: «لَوْ لَمْ يَسْتَأْنِفْ هَذَا الرَّجُلُ دَعْوَاهُ إِلَى الْقَيْصَرِ لَكَانَ يُمْكِنُ إِطْلاقُهُ!» | ٣٢ 32 |
Agrippa said to Festus, "This man might have been set free if he had not appealed to Caesar."
