< أعمال 4 >

وَبَيْنَمَا كَانَ بُطْرُسُ وَيُوحَنَّا يُخَاطِبَانِ الْحَاضِرِينَ، أَقْبَلَ إِلَيْهِمَا الْكَهَنَةُ، وَقَائِدُ حَرَسِ الْهَيْكَلِ وَالصَّدُّوقِيُّونَ، ١ 1
As Peter and John were speaking to the people, the priests, the captain of the temple guard, and the Sadducees came to them,
مُتَضَايِقِينَ لأَنَّهُمَا كَانَا يُعَلِّمَانِ النَّاسَ وَيُعْلِنَانِ أَنَّ قِيَامَةَ الأَمْوَاتِ حَقِيقَةٌ تُؤَكِّدُهَا قِيَامَةُ يَسُوعَ، ٢ 2
greatly annoyed 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
So they arrested them and took them into custody until the next day, for it was already evening.
وَكَانَ كَثِيرُونَ مِمَّنْ سَمِعُوا الْكَلِمَةَ قَدْ آمَنُوا فَصَارَ عَدَدُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ مِنَ الرِّجَالِ نَحْوَ خَمْسَةِ آلافٍ. ٤ 4
But many who heard the word believed, and the number of men who believed came to about five thousand.
وَفِي صَبَاحِ الْيَوْمِ التَّالِي اجْتَمَعَ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ رُؤَسَاءُ الْيَهُودِ وَالشُّيُوخُ وَالْكَتَبَةُ، ٥ 5
On the next day, the rulers, elders, and scribes were gathered together in Jerusalem,
وَمَعَهُمْ حَنَّانُ رَئِيسُ الْكَهَنَةِ، وَقَيَافَا، وَيُوحَنَّا، وَالإِسْكَنْدَرُ، وَجَمِيعُ الْمُنْتَمِينَ إِلَى عَشِيرَةِ رُؤَسَاءِ الْكَهَنَةِ. ٦ 6
along with Annas the high priest, Caiaphas, John, Alexander, and all who were members of the high-priestly family.
وَاسْتَدْعَوْا بُطْرُسَ وَيُوحَنَّا وَسَأَلُوهُمَا: «بِأَيَّةِ قُوَّةٍ، وَبِاسْمِ مَنْ فَعَلْتُمَا هَذَا؟» ٧ 7
After making Peter and John stand before them, they began to question them: “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, filled with the 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 disabled man and by what means he has been healed,
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
let it be known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that this man is standing before you in good health by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified and whom God raised from the dead.
يَسُوعُ هَذَا هُوَ الْحَجَرُ الَّذِي رَفَضْتُمُوهُ أَيُّهَا الْبُنَاةُ، وَهُوَ نَفْسُهُ صَارَ حَجَرَ الزَّاوِيَةِ الأَسَاسَ، ١١ 11
This Jesus is the stone that was rejected by you, the builders, which has become the cornerstone.
وَلَيْسَ بِأَحَدٍ غَيْرِهِ الْخَلاصُ، إِذْ لَيْسَ تَحْتَ السَّمَاءِ اسْمٌ آخَرُ قَدَّمَهُ اللهُ لِلْبَشَرِ بِهِ يَجِبُ أَنْ نَخْلُصَ!» ١٢ 12
There is salvation in no other, for there is no other name 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
When they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and when they realized that they were uneducated and untrained men, they were amazed and recognized that they had been with Jesus.
وَلكِنْ إِذْ رَأَوْا الْكَسِيحَ الَّذِي شُفِيَ وَاقِفاً مَعَهُمَا، لَمْ يَجِدُوا شَيْئاً يُعَارِضُونَ بِهِ! ١٤ 14
But since they could see the man who had been healed standing there with them, they had nothing to say in opposition.
فَأَمَرُوهُمَا بِالْخُرُوجِ مِنَ الْمَجْلِسِ، لِيَتَشَاوَرُوا فِيمَا بَيْنَهُمْ. ١٥ 15
So they ordered Peter and John to step out from the Sanhedrin while they conferred with one another,
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 should we do with these men? For it is evident to all who dwell in Jerusalem that a notable sign has been done through them, 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 may not spread any further among the people, we will strictly warn them to speak no more in this name to any of the people.”
ثُمَّ أَحْضَرُوهُمَا وَأَمَرُوهُمَا أَلّا يَنْطِقَا بِاسْمِ يَسُوعَ وَلا يُعَلِّمَا النَّاسَ بِهِ. ١٨ 18
Then they called them in and ordered them not to speak or teach at all in the name of Jesus.
وَلَكِنَّ بُطْرُسَ وَيُوحَنَّا قَالا: «احْكُمُوا أَنْتُمْ: أَمِنَ الْحَقِّ أَمَامَ اللهِ أَنْ نُطِيعَ أَمْرَكُمْ لَا أَمْرَ اللهِ؟ ١٩ 19
But Peter and John answered them, “Whether it is right in the sight of God to listen to you rather than to God, you must judge.
لَا نَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ نَكُفَّ عَنِ التَّحَدُّثِ بِمَا رَأَيْنَا وَسَمِعْنَا». ٢٠ 20
For we cannot help but speak about what 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 after threatening Peter and John further, they released them, finding no way to punish them, because all the people were glorifying God for what had happened.
لأَنَّ الرَّجُلَ الَّذِي جَرَتْ فِيهِ عَلامَةُ الشِّفَاءِ هذِهِ قَدْ جَاوَزَ الأَرْبَعِينَ عَاماً! ٢٢ 22
For the man on whom this sign of healing had been performed was more than forty years old.
وَمَا إِنْ أُطْلِقَ بُطْرُسُ وَيُوحَنَّا حَتَّى رَجَعَا إِلَى رِفَاقِهِمَا، وَأَخْبَرَاهُمْ بِكُلِّ مَا قَالَهُ لَهُمَا رُؤَسَاءُ الْكَهَنَةِ وَالشُّيُوخُ، ٢٣ 23
After being released, Peter and John went to their own people and reported all that the chief priests and the elders had said to them.
فَتَوَجَّهُوا بِقَلْبٍ وَاحِدٍ إِلَى اللهِ بِالدُّعَاءِ، قَائِلِينَ: «يَا رَبُّ، يَا خَالِقَ السَّمَاءِ وَالأَرْضِ وَالْبَحْرِ وَكُلِّ مَا فِيهَا، ٢٤ 24
When they heard this, they lifted up their voices with one accord to God and said, “Master, yoʋ are God, who made the heavens, the earth, the sea, and all that is in them.
يَا مَنْ قُلْتَ بِالرُّوحِ الْقُدُسِ عَلَى لِسَانِ عَبْدِكَ دَاوُدَ: لِمَاذَا ضَجَّتْ الأُمَمُ؟ وَلِمَاذَا تَآمَرَتِ الشُّعُوبُ بَاطِلاً؟ ٢٥ 25
It is yoʋ who said through the mouth of yoʋr servant David, ‘Why do the nations rage, and the peoples plot foolish things?
اجْتَمَعَ مُلُوكُ الأَرْضِ وَرُؤَسَاؤُهَا، وَتَحَالَفُوا لِيُقَاوِمُوا الرَّبَّ وَمَسِيحَهُ! ٢٦ 26
The kings of the earth stand up, and the rulers are gathered together, against the Lord and against his Anointed.’
وَقَدْ تَحَقَّقَتْ هَذِهِ الْكَلِمَاتُ فِعْلاً، إِذْ تَحَالَفَ هِيرُودُسُ، وَبِيلاطُسُ الْبُنْطِيُّ، وَالْوَثَنِيُّونَ وَأَسْبَاطُ إِسْرَائِيلَ، لِمُقَاوَمَةِ فَتَاكَ الْقُدُّوسِ يَسُوعَ، الَّذِي جَعَلْتَهُ مَسِيحاً، ٢٧ 27
For indeed both Herod and Pontius Pilate, along with the Gentiles and the people of Israel, were gathered together against yoʋr holy servant Jesus, whom yoʋ anointed,
وَعَمِلُوا بِهِ كُلَّ مَا سَبَقَ أَنْ رَسَمَتْ يَدُكَ وَقَضَتْ مَشِيئَتُكَ أَنْ يَكُونَ. ٢٨ 28
to do whatever yoʋr hand and yoʋr plan had foreordained to take place.
وَالآنَ انْظُرْ، يَا رَبُّ، إِلَى تَهْدِيدِهِمْ، وَهَبْنَا نَحْنُ عَبِيدَكَ أَنْ نُعْلِنَ كَلامَكَ بِكُلِّ جُرْأَةٍ، ٢٩ 29
And now, Lord, take note of their threats and grant it to yoʋr servants to speak yoʋr word with all boldness,
وَمُدَّ يَدَكَ لِلشِّفَاءِ، كَيْ تُجْرَى مُعْجِزَاتٌ وَعَجَائِبُ بِاسْمِ فَتَاكَ الْقُدُّوسِ يَسُوعَ». ٣٠ 30
as yoʋ stretch out yoʋr hand to heal and to perform signs and wonders through the name of yoʋr holy servant Jesus.”
وَفِيمَا هُمْ يُصَلُّونَ ارْتَجَّ الْمَكَانُ الَّذِي كَانُوا مُجْتَمِعِينَ فِيهِ، وَامْتَلأُوا جَمِيعاً بِالرُّوحِ الْقُدُسِ، فَأَخَذُوا يُعْلِنُونَ كَلِمَةَ اللهِ بِكُلِّ جُرْأَةٍ! ٣١ 31
After they prayed, the place where they were gathered together was shaken, and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began speaking 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 hearts and souls of the multitude of believers were one, and no one was saying that any of their belongings was his own, but everything they owned was held in common.
وَكَانَ الرُّسُلُ يُؤَدُّونَ الشَّهَادَةَ بِقِيَامَةِ الرَّبِّ يَسُوعَ وَقُوَّةٌ عَظِيمَةٌ تَصْحَبُهَا، وَنِعْمَةٌ عَظِيمَةٌ تَحُلُّ عَلَى جَمِيعِهِمْ. ٣٣ 33
With great power the apostles were giving testimony to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and great grace was upon them all.
فَلَمْ يَكُنْ فِيهِمْ مُحْتَاجٌ، لأَنَّ جَمِيعَ مَنْ كَانَ لَهُمْ حُقُولٌ أَوْ بُيُوتٌ كَانُوا يَبِيعُونَهَا وَيَأْتُونَ بِثَمَنِهَا، ٣٤ 34
There was no one needy among them, for all who owned plots of land or houses sold them and brought the proceeds of what was sold.
فَيَضَعُونَهُ عِنْدَ أَقْدَامِ الرُّسُلِ، وَهُمْ يُوَزِّعُونَهُ عَلَى كُلِّ مُحْتَاجٍ بِقَدْرِ حَاجَتِهِ. ٣٥ 35
They laid the money at the feet of the apostles, and the proceeds were distributed to anyone who had need.
وَمِنْ هَؤُلاءِ يُوسُفُ، الَّذِي دَعَاهُ الرُّسُلُ بَرْنَابَا أَيِ ابْنَ التَّشْجِيعِ، وَهُوَ مِنْ سِبْطِ لاوِي، وَيَحْمِلُ الْجِنْسِيَّةَ الْقُبْرُصِيَّةَ. ٣٦ 36
Joses, whom the apostles called Barnabas (which means “Son of Encouragement”), a Levite and Cypriot by birth,
فَإِنَّهُ كَانَ يَمْلِكُ حَقْلاً، فَبَاعَهُ وَجَاءَ بِثَمَنِهِ وَوَضَعَهُ عِنْدَ أَقْدَامِ الرُّسُلِ! ٣٧ 37
also sold a field he owned and then brought the money and laid it at the apostles' feet.
