أعمال 4
| وَبَيْنَمَا كَانَ بُطْرُسُ وَيُوحَنَّا يُخَاطِبَانِ الْحَاضِرِينَ، أَقْبَلَ إِلَيْهِمَا الْكَهَنَةُ، وَقَائِدُ حَرَسِ الْهَيْكَلِ وَالصَّدُّوقِيُّونَ، | ١ 1 |
Now as they were speaking to the people, the priests, the captain of the temple and the Sadducees came at them,
| مُتَضَايِقِينَ لأَنَّهُمَا كَانَا يُعَلِّمَانِ النَّاسَ وَيُعْلِنَانِ أَنَّ قِيَامَةَ الأَمْوَاتِ حَقِيقَةٌ تُؤَكِّدُهَا قِيَامَةُ يَسُوعَ، | ٢ 2 |
being upset because they were teaching the people and proclaiming in Jesus the resurrection from the dead.
| فَقَبَضُوا عَلَيْهِمَا وَأَلْقَوْهُمَا فِي السِّجْنِ إِلَى الْيَوْمِ التَّالِي، لأَنَّ الْمَسَاءَ كَانَ قَدْ حَلَّ. | ٣ 3 |
And they laid hands on them and put them in custody until the next day, because it was already evening.
| وَكَانَ كَثِيرُونَ مِمَّنْ سَمِعُوا الْكَلِمَةَ قَدْ آمَنُوا فَصَارَ عَدَدُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ مِنَ الرِّجَالِ نَحْوَ خَمْسَةِ آلافٍ. | ٤ 4 |
(However, many of those who heard the message believed; the number of the men came to be about five thousand.)
| وَفِي صَبَاحِ الْيَوْمِ التَّالِي اجْتَمَعَ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ رُؤَسَاءُ الْيَهُودِ وَالشُّيُوخُ وَالْكَتَبَةُ، | ٥ 5 |
So the next day an assembly of their rulers, both elders and scribes, occurred in Jerusalem,
| وَمَعَهُمْ حَنَّانُ رَئِيسُ الْكَهَنَةِ، وَقَيَافَا، وَيُوحَنَّا، وَالإِسْكَنْدَرُ، وَجَمِيعُ الْمُنْتَمِينَ إِلَى عَشِيرَةِ رُؤَسَاءِ الْكَهَنَةِ. | ٦ 6 |
along with Annas the high priest, and Caiaphas, John and Alexander, and as many as were of high-priestly descent.
| وَاسْتَدْعَوْا بُطْرُسَ وَيُوحَنَّا وَسَأَلُوهُمَا: «بِأَيَّةِ قُوَّةٍ، وَبِاسْمِ مَنْ فَعَلْتُمَا هَذَا؟» | ٧ 7 |
And having placed them in the middle [of the assembly] they started questioning: “By what power, or by what name did you do this?”
| فَامْتَلأَ بُطْرُسُ مِنَ الرُّوحِ الْقُدُسِ وَأَجَابَهُمْ: «يَا رُؤَسَاءَ الشَّعْبِ وَيَاشُيُوخَهُ، | ٨ 8 |
Then Peter, full of Holy Spirit, said to them: “Rulers of the people and elders of Israel:
| إِنْ كُنْتُمْ تَسْتَجْوِبُونَنَا الْيَوْمَ بِسَبَبِ الإِحْسَانِ إِلَى إِنْسَانٍ مَرِيضٍ لِتَعْرِفُوا كَيْفَ شُفِيَ، | ٩ 9 |
If we are being examined today about a good deed done to a helpless man, by what means he has been made well,
| فَاعْلَمُوا جَمِيعاً، وَلْيَعْرِفْ شَعْبُ إِسْرَائِيلَ كُلُّهُ، أَنَّهُ بِاسْمِ يَسُوعَ الْمَسِيحِ النَّاصِرِيِّ الَّذِي صَلَبْتُمُوهُ أَنْتُمْ، وَالَّذِي أَقَامَهُ اللهُ مِنْ بَيْنِ الأَمْوَاتِ، بِاسْمِهِ يَقِفُ هَذَا الْكَسِيحُ أَمَامَكُمْ فِي تَمَامِ الصِّحَّةِ! | ١٠ 10 |
be it known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ the Natsorean, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead, by Him this man stands here before you whole.
| يَسُوعُ هَذَا هُوَ الْحَجَرُ الَّذِي رَفَضْتُمُوهُ أَيُّهَا الْبُنَاةُ، وَهُوَ نَفْسُهُ صَارَ حَجَرَ الزَّاوِيَةِ الأَسَاسَ، | ١١ 11 |
This is ‘the stone which was despised by you, the builders, which has become the chief cornerstone.’
| وَلَيْسَ بِأَحَدٍ غَيْرِهِ الْخَلاصُ، إِذْ لَيْسَ تَحْتَ السَّمَاءِ اسْمٌ آخَرُ قَدَّمَهُ اللهُ لِلْبَشَرِ بِهِ يَجِبُ أَنْ نَخْلُصَ!» | ١٢ 12 |
Also, the salvation does not exist in anyone else, because there is no other name under heaven, given among men, by which we must be saved.”
| فَتَعَجَّبَ الْمُجْتَمِعُونَ مِنْ جُرْأَةِ بُطْرُسَ وَيُوحَنَّا، لَمَّا عَرَفُوا أَنَّهُمَا غَيْرُ مُتَعَلِّمَيْنِ وَأَنَّهُمَا مِنْ عَامَّةِ الشَّعْبِ، فَأَدْرَكُوا أَنَّهُمَا كَانَا مَعَ يَسُوعَ. | ١٣ 13 |
Now upon observing the boldness of Peter and John and perceiving that they were uneducated and unskilled men, they marveled; and they recognized that they had been with Jesus.
| وَلكِنْ إِذْ رَأَوْا الْكَسِيحَ الَّذِي شُفِيَ وَاقِفاً مَعَهُمَا، لَمْ يَجِدُوا شَيْئاً يُعَارِضُونَ بِهِ! | ١٤ 14 |
Further, seeing the man who had been healed standing with them, they could say nothing against it.
| فَأَمَرُوهُمَا بِالْخُرُوجِ مِنَ الْمَجْلِسِ، لِيَتَشَاوَرُوا فِيمَا بَيْنَهُمْ. | ١٥ 15 |
So ordering them to go out from the council they began to confer among themselves,
| وَقَالُوا: «مَاذَا نَعْمَلُ بِهَذَيْنِ الرَّجُلَيْنِ؟ فَمِنَ الْوَاضِحِ أَمَامَ أَهْلِ أُورُشَلِيمَ جَمِيعاً أَنَّ مُعْجِزَةً عَظِيمَةً قَدْ جَرَتْ عَلَى أَيْدِيهِمَا، وَلا نَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ نُنْكِرَ! | ١٦ 16 |
saying: “What can we do to these men? Because, indeed, that a notable miracle has been done through them is evident to all who dwell in Jerusalem, and we cannot deny it.
| وَلَكِنْ لِئَلّا يَزْدَادَ هَذَا الأَمْرُ انْتِشَاراً بَيْنَ الشَّعْبِ، فَلْنُهَدِّدْهُمَا أَلّا يَذْكُرَا هَذَا الاِسْمَ لأَحَدٍ مِنَ النَّاسِ بَعْدَ الآنَ». | ١٧ 17 |
But so that it spreads no further among the people, let us severely threaten them to no longer speak to anyone in this name.”
| ثُمَّ أَحْضَرُوهُمَا وَأَمَرُوهُمَا أَلّا يَنْطِقَا بِاسْمِ يَسُوعَ وَلا يُعَلِّمَا النَّاسَ بِهِ. | ١٨ 18 |
So summoning them they commanded them absolutely not to speak or teach in the name of ‘Jesus’.
| وَلَكِنَّ بُطْرُسَ وَيُوحَنَّا قَالا: «احْكُمُوا أَنْتُمْ: أَمِنَ الْحَقِّ أَمَامَ اللهِ أَنْ نُطِيعَ أَمْرَكُمْ لَا أَمْرَ اللهِ؟ | ١٩ 19 |
But in answer Peter and John said to them: “Whether it is right in the sight of God to listen to you rather than to God, judge for yourselves;
| لَا نَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ نَكُفَّ عَنِ التَّحَدُّثِ بِمَا رَأَيْنَا وَسَمِعْنَا». | ٢٠ 20 |
because we cannot help but speak the things we have seen and heard.”
| فَشَدَّدَ الْمَجْلِسُ إِنْذَارَهُ لَهُمَا، دُونَ أَنْ يَجِدَ طَرِيقَةً لِمُعَاقَبَتِهِمَا، وَأَمَرَ بِإِطْلاقِهِمَا خَوْفاً مِنْ ثَوْرَةِ الشَّعْبِ، فَقَدْ كَانَ الْجَمِيعُ يُمَجِّدُونَ اللهَ عَلَى تِلْكَ الْمُعْجِزَةِ، | ٢١ 21 |
So threatening them some more they released them, not finding any way to punish them, because of the people, since they were all glorifying God over what had happened;
| لأَنَّ الرَّجُلَ الَّذِي جَرَتْ فِيهِ عَلامَةُ الشِّفَاءِ هذِهِ قَدْ جَاوَزَ الأَرْبَعِينَ عَاماً! | ٢٢ 22 |
because the man on whom this miracle of healing had been performed was over forty years old.
| وَمَا إِنْ أُطْلِقَ بُطْرُسُ وَيُوحَنَّا حَتَّى رَجَعَا إِلَى رِفَاقِهِمَا، وَأَخْبَرَاهُمْ بِكُلِّ مَا قَالَهُ لَهُمَا رُؤَسَاءُ الْكَهَنَةِ وَالشُّيُوخُ، | ٢٣ 23 |
So upon being released they went to their own group and reported all that the chief priests and elders had said to them.
| فَتَوَجَّهُوا بِقَلْبٍ وَاحِدٍ إِلَى اللهِ بِالدُّعَاءِ، قَائِلِينَ: «يَا رَبُّ، يَا خَالِقَ السَّمَاءِ وَالأَرْضِ وَالْبَحْرِ وَكُلِّ مَا فِيهَا، | ٢٤ 24 |
Well upon hearing it, with one mind they called out to God and said: “O Sovereign! You are God, the Maker of sky and earth and ocean, and all that is in them;
| يَا مَنْ قُلْتَ بِالرُّوحِ الْقُدُسِ عَلَى لِسَانِ عَبْدِكَ دَاوُدَ: لِمَاذَا ضَجَّتْ الأُمَمُ؟ وَلِمَاذَا تَآمَرَتِ الشُّعُوبُ بَاطِلاً؟ | ٢٥ 25 |
You who said through the mouth of Your servant David: ‘Why did nations snort and peoples plot vain things?
| اجْتَمَعَ مُلُوكُ الأَرْضِ وَرُؤَسَاؤُهَا، وَتَحَالَفُوا لِيُقَاوِمُوا الرَّبَّ وَمَسِيحَهُ! | ٢٦ 26 |
The kings of the earth took a stand, and the rulers were gathered together, against the Lord and against His Messiah.’
| وَقَدْ تَحَقَّقَتْ هَذِهِ الْكَلِمَاتُ فِعْلاً، إِذْ تَحَالَفَ هِيرُودُسُ، وَبِيلاطُسُ الْبُنْطِيُّ، وَالْوَثَنِيُّونَ وَأَسْبَاطُ إِسْرَائِيلَ، لِمُقَاوَمَةِ فَتَاكَ الْقُدُّوسِ يَسُوعَ، الَّذِي جَعَلْتَهُ مَسِيحاً، | ٢٧ 27 |
Well, in fact, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, together with Gentiles and peoples of Israel, were gathered together against Your holy Servant Jesus, whom You anointed,
| وَعَمِلُوا بِهِ كُلَّ مَا سَبَقَ أَنْ رَسَمَتْ يَدُكَ وَقَضَتْ مَشِيئَتُكَ أَنْ يَكُونَ. | ٢٨ 28 |
to do whatever Your hand and Your counsel foreordained to happen.
| وَالآنَ انْظُرْ، يَا رَبُّ، إِلَى تَهْدِيدِهِمْ، وَهَبْنَا نَحْنُ عَبِيدَكَ أَنْ نُعْلِنَ كَلامَكَ بِكُلِّ جُرْأَةٍ، | ٢٩ 29 |
As for the present, Lord, consider their threats, and grant to Your slaves to speak Your word with all boldness,
| وَمُدَّ يَدَكَ لِلشِّفَاءِ، كَيْ تُجْرَى مُعْجِزَاتٌ وَعَجَائِبُ بِاسْمِ فَتَاكَ الْقُدُّوسِ يَسُوعَ». | ٣٠ 30 |
while You stretch out Your hand to heal and that signs and wonders may occur through the name of Your holy Servant Jesus.”
| وَفِيمَا هُمْ يُصَلُّونَ ارْتَجَّ الْمَكَانُ الَّذِي كَانُوا مُجْتَمِعِينَ فِيهِ، وَامْتَلأُوا جَمِيعاً بِالرُّوحِ الْقُدُسِ، فَأَخَذُوا يُعْلِنُونَ كَلِمَةَ اللهِ بِكُلِّ جُرْأَةٍ! | ٣١ 31 |
Well when they had prayed, the place where they were gathered was shaken, and they were all filled with Holy Spirit and spoke the Word of God with boldness.
| وَكَانَتْ جَمَاعَةُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ قَلْباً وَاحِداً وَنَفْساً وَاحِدَةً، وَلَمْ يَكُنْ أَحَدٌ يَقُولُ إِنَّ شَيْئاً مِمَّا عِنْدَهُ هُوَ لَهُ وَحْدَهُ، بَلْ كَانَ كُلُّ شَيْءٍ عِنْدَهُمْ مُشْتَرَكاً. | ٣٢ 32 |
Now the multitude of those who believed was of one heart and soul; indeed not one was saying that any of his belongings was his own, but they had all things in common.
| وَكَانَ الرُّسُلُ يُؤَدُّونَ الشَّهَادَةَ بِقِيَامَةِ الرَّبِّ يَسُوعَ وَقُوَّةٌ عَظِيمَةٌ تَصْحَبُهَا، وَنِعْمَةٌ عَظِيمَةٌ تَحُلُّ عَلَى جَمِيعِهِمْ. | ٣٣ 33 |
(Also the Apostles were giving witness to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus with great power.) Yes, great grace was on them all,
| فَلَمْ يَكُنْ فِيهِمْ مُحْتَاجٌ، لأَنَّ جَمِيعَ مَنْ كَانَ لَهُمْ حُقُولٌ أَوْ بُيُوتٌ كَانُوا يَبِيعُونَهَا وَيَأْتُونَ بِثَمَنِهَا، | ٣٤ 34 |
because there were not any needy among them—as many as were owners of lands or houses were selling them and bringing the proceeds of the sold items
| فَيَضَعُونَهُ عِنْدَ أَقْدَامِ الرُّسُلِ، وَهُمْ يُوَزِّعُونَهُ عَلَى كُلِّ مُحْتَاجٍ بِقَدْرِ حَاجَتِهِ. | ٣٥ 35 |
and placing them at the Apostles' feet, and they were distributed to each according as anyone had need.
| وَمِنْ هَؤُلاءِ يُوسُفُ، الَّذِي دَعَاهُ الرُّسُلُ بَرْنَابَا أَيِ ابْنَ التَّشْجِيعِ، وَهُوَ مِنْ سِبْطِ لاوِي، وَيَحْمِلُ الْجِنْسِيَّةَ الْقُبْرُصِيَّةَ. | ٣٦ 36 |
So Joses, who was named Barnabas by the Apostles (which is, being translated, ‘Son of encouragement’), a Levite of the country of Cyprus,
| فَإِنَّهُ كَانَ يَمْلِكُ حَقْلاً، فَبَاعَهُ وَجَاءَ بِثَمَنِهِ وَوَضَعَهُ عِنْدَ أَقْدَامِ الرُّسُلِ! | ٣٧ 37 |
having a field, sold it, brought the money and placed it at the Apostles' feet.
