أعمال 3

١ 1 وَذَاتَ يَوْمٍ ذَهَبَ بُطْرُسُ وَيُوحَنَّا إِلَى الْهَيْكَلِ لِصَلاةِ السَّاعَةِ الثَّالِثَةِ بَعْدَ الظُّهْرِ.

Now Peter and John were going up together into the temple at the hour (the ninth) of prayer.

٢ 2 وَعِنْدَ بَابِ الْهَيْكَلِ الَّذِي يُسَمَّى الْبَابَ الْجَمِيلَ، كَانَ يَجْلِسُ رَجُلٌ كَسِيحٌ مُنْذُ وِلادَتِهِ، يَحْمِلُونَهُ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ وَيَضَعُونَهُ هُنَاكَ لِيَطْلُبَ صَدَقَةً مِنَ الَّذِينَ يَدْخُلُونَ الْهَيْكَلَ.

And a certain man, who had actually been lame from his mother's womb, was being carried (they would lay him daily at the temple gate, the one called Beautiful, to ask alms from those who entered the temple),

٣ 3 فَلَمَّا رَأَى بُطْرُسَ وَيُوحَنَّا دَاخِلَيْنِ، طَلَبَ مِنْهُمَا صَدَقَةً،

who, upon seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple, began asking for alms.

٤ 4 فَنَظَرَا إِلَيْهِ مَلِيًّا، وَقَالَ لَهُ بُطْرُسُ: «انْظُرْ إِلَيْنَا!»

So Peter, with John, fastening his gaze on him said, “Look at us.”

٥ 5 فَتَعَلَّقَتْ عَيْنَاهُ بِهِمَا، مُنْتَظِراً أَنْ يَتَصَدَّقَا عَلَيْهِ بِشَيْءٍ.

So he gave them his attention, expecting to receive something from them.

٦ 6 فَقَالَ بُطْرُسُ: «لا فِضَّةَ عِنْدِي وَلا ذَهَبَ، وَلَكِنِّي أُعْطِيكَ مَا عِنْدِي: بِاسْمِ يَسُوعَ الْمَسِيحِ النَّاصِرِيِّ قُمْ وَامْشِ!»

But Peter said: “I do not have silver and gold, but what I do have I give you. In the name of Jesus Christ the Natsorean, get up and walk!”

٧ 7 وَأَمْسَكَهُ بِيَدِهِ الْيُمْنَى وَأَقَامَهُ، فَدَبَّتِ الْقُوَّةُ حَالاً فِي رِجْلَيْهِ وَكَعْبَيْهِ،

And grasping him by his right hand he lifted him up; immediately his feet and ankles were strengthened.

٨ 8 فَوَقَفَ قَافِزاً وَبَدَأَ يَمْشِي، وَدَخَلَ مَعَهُمَا إِلَى الْهَيْكَلِ وَهُوَ يَمْشِي وَيَقْفِزُ فَرَحاً وَيُسَبِّحُ اللهَ.

So jumping up he stood, and began to walk! And he entered the temple with them, walking and leaping and praising God.

٩ 9 وَرَآهُ جَمِيعُ الْحَاضِرِينَ مَاشِياً يُسَبِّحُ اللهَ،

Well all the people saw him walking and praising God;

١٠ 10 وَعَرَفُوا أَنَّهُ الْمُسْتَعْطِي الْكَسِيحُ الَّذِي تَعَوَّدَ أَنْ يَقْعُدَ أَمَامَ الْبَابِ الْجَمِيلِ، فَأَخَذَتْهُمُ الدَّهْشَةُ وَالْحَيْرَةُ مِمَّا حَدَثَ لَهُ!

and they recognized him—that he was the one who used to sit at the Beautiful Gate of the temple, with a view to alms—and they were filled with wonder and amazement because of what had happened to him.

١١ 11 وَبَيْنَمَا كَانَ فِي قَاعَةِ الْهَيْكَلِ الْمَعْرُوفَةِ بِقَاعَةِ سُلَيْمَانَ مُلازِماً بُطْرُسَ وَيُوحَنَّا، أَسْرَعَ كَثِيرُونَ مِنَ الشَّعْبِ وَاجْتَمَعُوا حَوْلَهُمْ مَدْهُوشِينَ،

Now as the lame man who had been healed held on to Peter and John, all the people ran together to them in the portico, the one called ‘Solomon's’, really wondering.

١٢ 12 فَقَالَ لَهُمْ بُطْرُسُ إِذْ رَأَى ذلِكَ: «يَا بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، لِمَاذَا تَتَعَجَّبُونَ مِمَّا حَدَثَ، وَلِمَاذَا تُحَدِّقُونَ إِلَيْنَا كَأَنَّنَا بِقُدْرَتِنَا أَوْ بِتَقْوَانَا جَعَلْنَا هَذَا الرَّجُلَ يَمْشِي؟

So upon observing this Peter responded to the people: “Men of Israel, why are you marveling at this, or why are you staring at us as if we have made him walk by our own power or godliness?

١٣ 13 إِنَّ إِلهَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَإِسْحَاقَ وَيَعْقُوبَ، إِلهَ آبَائِنَا، قَدْ مَجَّدَ فَتَاهُ يَسُوعَ، الَّذِي أَسْلَمْتُمُوهُ أَنْتُمْ لِلْمَوْتِ وَأَنْكَرْتُمُوهُ أَمَامَ بِيلاطُسَ، فِي حِينِ كَانَ يُرِيدُ أَنْ يُطْلِقَهُ.

The God of Abraham and Isaac and Jacob, the God of our fathers, glorified His Servant Jesus, whom you delivered up; and you repudiated Him to Pilate's face, when he was intending to release Him.

١٤ 14 أَنْتُمْ أَنْكَرْتُمُ الْقُدُّوسَ الْبَارَّ وَطَلَبْتُمُ الْعَفْوَ عَنْ رَجُلٍ قَاتِلٍ،

Yes you repudiated the holy and righteous One, and you asked that a murderer be granted to you,

١٥ 15 وَقَتَلْتُمْ وَاهِبَ الْحَيَاةِ. وَلَكِنَّ اللهَ أَقَامَهُ مِنْ بَيْنِ الأَمْوَاتِ وَنَحْنُ شُهُودٌ لِذَلِكَ.

while you killed the Originator of the Life, whom God raised from among the dead, to which we are witnesses.

١٦ 16 وَبِفَضْلِ الإِيمَانِ بِاسْمِهِ، أَعَادَ اسْمُهُ الْقُوَّةَ إِلَى هَذَا الرَّجُلِ الَّذِي تَرَوْنَهُ وَتَعْرِفُونَهُ. فَالإِيمَانُ بِيَسُوعَ هُوَ الَّذِي أَعْطَاهُ هذِهِ الصِّحَّةَ الْكَامِلَةَ بِمَشْهَدٍ مِنْكُمْ جَمِيعاً.

Well His name, based on faith in His name, made this man strong, whom you see and know. Yes, the faith that is through Him has given him this wholeness in the presence of you all.

١٧ 17 إِنِّي أَعْلَمُ أَيُّهَا الإِخْوَةُ أَنَّكُمْ وَرُؤَسَاءَكُمْ عَامَلْتُمُ الْمَسِيحَ بِجَهْلٍ،

“So now, brothers, I know that you did it in ignorance, as also your rulers.

١٨ 18 وَلَكِنَّ اللهَ أَتَمَّ بِذَلِكَ مَا كَانَ قَدْ أَوْحَى بِهِ إِلَى جَمِيعِ أَنْبِيَائِهِ مِنْ أَنَّ الْمَسِيحَ سَيُلاقِي الآلامَ.

But the things that God foretold through the mouth of all His prophets, that the Messiah would suffer, He has thus fulfilled.

١٩ 19 فَتُوبُوا وَارْجِعُوا لِيَمْحُوَ اللهُ خَطَايَاكُمْ،

Repent therefore, and turn around, so that your sins may be erased, in order that times of refreshing may come from the Lord's face

٢٠ 20 وَتَأْتِيَكُمْ أَيَّامُ الْفَرَجِ مِنْ قِبَلِ الرَّبِّ، إِذْ يُرْسِلُ إِلَيْكُمْ يَسُوعَ الْمَسِيحَ ثَانِيَةً، الَّذِي سَبَقَ أَنْ عَيَّنَهُ لَكُمْ،

and that He may send Jesus, who had been ordained to be your Messiah,

٢١ 21 إِذْ لابُدَّ أَنْ يَبْقَى الْمَسِيحُ فِي السَّمَاءِ حَتَّى يَأْتِيَ الزَّمَنُ الَّذِي يَتِمُّ فِيهِ الإِصْلاحُ الشَّامِلُ لِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ كَمَا أَوْحَى اللهُ إِلَى أَنْبِيَائِهِ الأَتْقِيَاءِ مُنْذُ الْقِدَمِ. (aiōn g165)

whom Heaven must receive until the times of restoration of all things, of which times God spoke long ago by the mouth of all His holy prophets. (aiōn g165)

٢٢ 22 وَقَدْ قَالَ مُوسَى: سَيَبْعَثُ اللهُ فِيكُمْ مِنْ بَيْنِ إِخْوَتِكُمْ نَبِيًّا مِثْلِي فَاسْمَعُوا لَهُ فِي كُلِّ مَا يُكَلِّمُكُمْ بِهِ.

“For example, Moses said to the fathers: ‘The Lord our God will raise up for you a Prophet, like me, from among your brothers. You must listen to Him, in all that He may say to you.

٢٣ 23 أَمَّا مَنْ لَا يَسْمَعْ لَهُ فَسَيُبَادُ مِنْ وَسَطِ الشَّعْبِ.

It will be that every person who will not listen to that Prophet will be extirpated from among the people.’

٢٤ 24 وَكَذَلِكَ تَنَبَّأَ بِهذِهِ الأَزْمِنَةِ جَمِيعُ الأَنْبِيَاءِ، مِنْ صَمُوئِيلَ إِلَى الَّذِينَ جَاءُوا بَعْدَهُ.

“Yes and all the prophets, from Samuel on down, as many as have spoken, have also foretold these days.

٢٥ 25 وَأَنْتُمْ أَحْفَادُ هَؤُلاءِ الأَنْبِيَاءِ، وَأَبْنَاءُ الْعَهْدِ الَّذِي أَبْرَمَهُ اللهُ لِآبَائِنَا عِنْدَمَا قَالَ لإِبْرَاهِيمَ: بِنَسْلِكَ تَنَالُ الْبَرَكَةَ شُعُوبُ الأَرْضِ كُلُّهَا.

You are sons of the prophets, and of the covenant which God made with our fathers, saying to Abraham, ‘Yes, in your seed all the families of the earth will be blessed.’

٢٦ 26 فَمِنْ أَجْلِكُمْ أَوَّلاً أَقَامَ اللهُ فَتَاهُ يَسُوعَ وَأَرْسَلَهُ لِيُبَارِكَكُمْ بِرَدِّ كُلِّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْكُمْ عَنْ شُرُورِهِ».

God, having raised up His Servant Jesus, sent Him to you first, to bless you by turning each of you away from your iniquities.”
