أعمال 7
| وَسَأَلَ رَئِيسُ الْكَهَنَةِ اسْتِفَانُوسَ: «هَلْ هَذِهِ الاتِّهَامَاتُ صَحِيحَةٌ؟» | ١ 1 |
And the high priest said, "Are these things so?"
| فَأَجَابَ: «أَيُّهَا الإِخْوَةُ وَالآبَاءُ، اسْمَعُوا: ظَهَرَ إِلهُ الْمَجْدِ لأَبِينَا إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَهُوَ فِي بِلادِ مَا بَيْنَ النَّهْرَيْنِ، قَبْلَ أَنْ يَرْحَلَ لِيَسْكُنَ فِي حَارَانَ، | ٢ 2 |
Stephen answered. "Listen, brothers and fathers. The God of glory appeared to our father Abraham, when he was in Mesopotamia, before he dwelt in Haran,
| وَقَالَ لَهُ: اتْرُكْ أَرْضَكَ وَعَشِيرَتَكَ، وَارْحَلْ إِلَى الأَرْضِ الَّتِي أُرْشِدُكَ إِلَيْهَا. | ٣ 3 |
and said to him, "Leave your country and your kindred, and come to whatever land I will show you.
| فَأَطَاعَ وَرَحَلَ مِنْ بِلادِ الْكَلْدَانِيِّينَ، وَسَكَنَ فِي حَارَانَ، وَبَقِيَ فِيهَا إِلَى أَنْ مَاتَ أَبُوهُ، فَجَاءَ اللهُ بِهِ إِلَى هَذَا الْبَلَدِ الَّذِي تَسْكُنُونَ فِيهِ الآنَ، | ٤ 4 |
"So he left Chaldea and settled in Haran, and from there, after his father’s death, God moved him to this land which you inhabit.
| وَلَمْ يُعْطِهِ هُنَا مِلْكاً، وَلا مَوْطِئَ قَدَمٍ. وَمَعَ أَنَّهُ كَانَ وَقْتَئِذٍ بِلا وَلَدٍ، فَإِنَّ اللهَ وَعَدَهُ بِأَنْ يُعْطِيَ هَذَا الْبَلَدَ لَهُ وَلِنَسْلِهِ مِنْ بَعْدِهِ. | ٥ 5 |
"But he gave him no inheritance in it, no, not a single square yard of ground; yet he promised to bestow the land as a permanent possession on him and his posterity - he at that time being childless.
| فَقَدْ قَالَ اللهُ: إِنَّ أَحْفَادَهُ سَيُقَاسُونَ الْغُرْبَةَ فِي بِلادٍ لَيْسَتْ لَهُمْ، مُدَّةَ أَرْبَعِ مِئَةِ سَنَةٍ يُلاقُونَ خِلالَهَا الْعُبُودِيَّةَ وَسُوءَ الْمُعَامَلَةِ؛ | ٦ 6 |
"What God said was this. "‘His offspring will sojourn in a foreign land where they will be enslaved and oppressed for four hundred years.
| وَلَكِنِّي أُنْزِلُ الْعِقَابَ بِالشَّعْبِ الَّذِي يَسْتَعْبِدُهُمْ. وَبَعْدَ ذَلِكَ يَخْرُجُونَ وَيَجِيئُونَ لِيَعْبُدُونِي فِي هَذَا الْمَكَانِ. | ٧ 7 |
"‘And the nation, whichever it is, that enslaves them I will judge, said God, ‘and after ward they shall come out, and they shall worship me in this place.
| وَطَلَبَ اللهُ إِلَى إِبْرَاهِيمَ أَنْ يَخْتِنَ الذُّكُورَ فِي عَائِلَتِهِ عَلامَةً عَلَى الْعَهْدِ الَّذِي أَبْرَمَهُ لَهُ. فَخَتَنَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ إِسْحَاقَ فِي الْيَوْمِ الثَّامِنِ مِنْ عُمْرِهِ. وَخَتَنَ إِسْحَاقُ ابْنَهُ يَعْقُوبَ، وَخَتَنَ يَعْقُوبُ أَوْلادَهُ الاثْنَيْ عَشَرَ، الَّذِينَ هُمُ الآبَاءُ الأَوَّلُونَ. | ٨ 8 |
"Then he gave him a covenant of circumcision, and under this covenant he became the father of Isaac, whom he circumcised on the eighth day, and Isaac became the father of Jacob, and Jacob became the father of the twelve Patriarchs.
| وَحَسَدَ الآبَاءُ الأَوَّلُونَ يُوسُفَ وَبَاعُوهُ، فَأَصْبَحَ عَبْداً فِي مِصْرَ. وَلَكِنَّ اللهَ كَانَ مَعَهُ، | ٩ 9 |
"The patriarchs out of jealousy sold Joseph into Egypt.
| وَأَنْقَذَهُ مِنْ جَمِيعِ الْمِحَنِ الَّتِي مَرَّ بِها، وَوَهَبَهُ نِعْمَةً وَحِكْمَةً عِنْدَ فِرْعَوْنَ مَلِكِ مِصْرَ، فَوَلّاهُ عَلَى مِصْرَ، وَعَلَى شُؤُونِ بَيْتِهِ. | ١٠ 10 |
"But God was with him, and delivered him out of all his afflictions, and gave him grace and wisdom, when he stood before Pharaoh, king of Egypt, who appointed him Governor over Egypt, and over all the royal household.
| وَحَدَثَتْ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ مَجَاعَةٌ فِي مِصْرَ وَكَنْعَانَ، فَقَاسَى آبَاؤُنَا مِنْ ضِيقٍ شَدِيدٍ، إِذْ لَمْ يَجِدُوا الطَّعَامَ. | ١١ 11 |
"Then there came a famine over the whole of Egypt and Canaan, and great distress, so that our ancestors could not find food.
| وَلَمَّا سَمِعَ يَعْقُوبُ أَنَّ فِي مِصْرَ قَمْحاً أَرْسَلَ إِلَيْهَا آبَاءَنَا أَوَّلَ مَرَّةٍ. | ١٢ 12 |
"But Jacob heard that there was food in Egypt, and sent our ancestors there on their first visit.
| وَعِنْدَمَا أَرْسَلَهُمْ مَرَّةً ثَانِيَةً عَرَّفَهُمْ يُوسُفُ بِنَفْسِهِ، وَتَبَيَّنَ لِفِرْعَوْنَ أَصْلُ يُوسُفَ. | ١٣ 13 |
"On their second visit Joseph made himself known to his brothers, and Pharaoh was informed of Joseph’s parentage.
| وَاسْتَدْعَى يُوسُفُ وَالِدَهُ يَعْقُوبَ، وَإِخْوَتَهُ وَعَائِلاتِهِمْ، إِلَى مِصْرَ وَكَانُوا خَمْسَةً وَسَبْعِينَ شَخْصاً. | ١٤ 14 |
"Then Joseph sent and invited Jacob his father and all his family, numbering seventy-five souls, to come to him;
| فَجَاءَ يَعْقُوبُ وَآبَاؤُنَا إِلَى مِصْرَ، وَأَقَامُوا فِيهَا إِلَى أَنْ مَاتُوا، | ١٥ 15 |
"and Jacob went down into Egypt.
| فَنُقِلُوا إِلَى شَكِيمَ حَيْثُ دُفِنُوا فِي الْقَبْرِ الَّذِي اشْتَرَاهُ إِبْرَاهِيمُ مِنْ قَبِيلَةِ حَمُورَ أَبِي شَكِيمَ بِبَعْضِ الْفِضَّةِ. | ١٦ 16 |
"There he died, and our ancestors also, and they were carried across to Shechem, and laid in the tomb which Abraham had purchased for a sum of money from the sons of Hamor in Shechem.
| وَفِيمَا كَانَ يَقْتَرِبُ إِتْمَامُ الْوَعْدِ الَّذِي قَطَعَهُ اللهُ لإِبْرَاهِيمَ، كَانَ الشَّعْبُ فِي مِصْرَ يَتَكَاثَرُونَ وَيَزْدَادُونَ عَدَداً. | ١٧ 17 |
"but as the time drew near for the fulfilment of the promise which God made to Abraham, the people multiplied and increased in Egypt;
| ثُمَّ قَامَ عَلَى مِصْرَ مَلِكٌ جَدِيدٌ لَمْ يَكُنْ يَعْرِفُ أَمْرَ يُوسُفَ. | ١٨ 18 |
"until there arose a king who knew not Joseph.
| فَغَدَرَ بِشَعْبِنَا، وَأَسَاءَ مُعَامَلَةَ آبَائِنَا، حَتَّى أَجْبَرَهُمْ عَلَى التَّخَلِّي عَنْ أَطْفَالِهِمْ لِيَمُوتُوا. | ١٩ 19 |
"He dealt craftily with our race, and oppressed our forefathers, by making them expose their infants so that they should not live.
| فِي تِلْكَ الْفَتْرَةِ وُلِدَ مُوسَى. وَكَانَ جَمِيلاً جِدّاً، فَرَبَّاهُ وَالِدَاهُ فِي بَيْتِهِمَا ثَلاثَةَ أَشْهُرٍ، | ٢٠ 20 |
"In this time Moses was born, a divinely beautiful child, who was brought up for three months in his father’s house.
| وَلَكِنَّهُمَا اضْطُرَّا أَخِيراً إِلَى التَّخَلِّي عَنْهُ، فَأَنْقَذَتْهُ ابْنَةُ فِرْعَوْنَ وَتَبَنَّتْهُ وَرَبَّتْهُ. | ٢١ 21 |
"When he was exposed, Pharaoh’s daughter took him up, and brought him up as her own son.
| فَتَثَقَّفَ مُوسَى بِعُلُومِ مِصْرَ كُلِّهَا، حَتَّى صَارَ مُقْتَدِراً فِي الْقَوْلِ وَالْعَمَلِ. | ٢٢ 22 |
"So Moses was educated in all the wisdom of the Egyptians, and was mighty in his words and works.
| وَلَمَّا بَلَغَ الأَرْبَعِينَ مِنَ الْعُمْرِ خَطَرَ بِقَلْبِهِ أَنْ يَتَفَقَّدَ أَحْوَالَ إِخْوَتِهِ مِنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، | ٢٣ 23 |
"And when he was forty years old it came into his heart to visit his brothers, the children of Israel;
| فَرَأَى وَاحِداً مِنْهُمْ يَعْتَدِي عَلَيْهِ مِصْرِيٌّ، فَتَدَخَّلَ لِيُدَافِعَ عَنِ الْمَظْلُومِ، وَانْتَقَمَ لَهُ فَقَتَلَ الْمِصْرِيَّ، | ٢٤ 24 |
"and when he saw one of them wronged he wrought redress for the one overpowered, by striking down the Egyptian.
| عَلَى أَمَلِ أَنْ يُدْرِكَ إِخْوَتُهُ أَنَّ اللهَ سَيُنْقِذُهُمْ عَلَى يَدِهِ. غَيْرَ أَنَّهُمْ لَمْ يُدْرِكُوا! | ٢٥ 25 |
"(Now he supposed that his brothers would understand how God by his hand was bringing them deliverance; but they did not.)
| وَفِي الْيَوْمِ التَّالِي وَجَدَ اثْنَيْنِ مِنْ إِخْوَتِهِ يَتَعَارَكَانِ، فَحَاوَلَ أَنْ يُصْلِحَ بَيْنَهُمَا، قَائِلاً: أَنْتُمَا أَخَوَانِ، فَلِمَاذَا يَعْتَدِي أَحَدُكُمَا عَلَى الآخَرِ؟ | ٢٦ 26 |
"Next day he came upon two of them fighting, and tried to make peace between them. "‘Sirs,’ he said, ‘you are brothers. Why are you wronging each other?’
| فَمَا كَانَ مِنَ الْمُعْتَدِي عَلَى قَرِيبِهِ إِلّا أَنْ دَفَعَهُ بَعِيداً، وَقَالَ: مَنْ أَقَامَكَ رَئِيساً وَقَاضِياً عَلَيْنَا؟ | ٢٧ 27 |
"But the man who was ill-treating his neighbor thrust him aside, saying, "‘Who made you a magistrate and ruler over us?
| أَتُرِيدُ أَنْ تَقْتُلَنِي كَمَا قَتَلْتَ الْمِصْرِيَّ أَمْسِ؟ | ٢٨ 28 |
"‘Do you want to kill me, as you killed the Egyptian yesterday?’
| وَهُنَا هَرَبَ مُوسَى مِنْ مِصْرَ إِلَى بِلادِ مَدْيَانَ، وَعَاشَ فِيهَا غَرِيباً. وَهُنَاكَ أَنْجَبَ وَلَدَيْنِ. | ٢٩ 29 |
"Alarmed at this question, Moses fled from the land, and went to live in the land of Midian. There he became the father of two sons.
| وَبَعْدَمَا مَضَتْ أَرْبَعُونَ سَنَةً كَانَ مُوسَى فِي صَحْرَاءِ جَبَلِ سِينَاءَ، عِنْدَمَا ظَهَرَ لَهُ مَلاكُ الرَّبِّ فِي لَهِيبِ نَارٍ مِنْ عُلَّيقَةٍ تَشْتَعِلُ | ٣٠ 30 |
"But at the end of forty years there appeared to him, in the desert of Mt. Sinai, an angel in a flame of fire, in a bush.
| وَأَثَارَ الْمَنْظَرُ دَهْشَةَ مُوسَى، فَاقْتَرَبَ لِيَسْتَطْلِعَ الأَمْرَ، وَإذَا صَوْتُ الرَّبِّ يُنَادِيهِ: | ٣١ 31 |
"When Moses saw it he was astonished at the sight. But when he drew near to look, the voice of the Lord said,
| أَنَا إِلَهُ آبَائِكَ، إِلَهُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَإِسْحَاقَ وَيَعْقُوبَ! فَارْتَعَدَ مُوسَى وَلَمْ يَعُدْ يَجْرُؤُ عَلَى أَنْ يَنْظُرَ. | ٣٢ 32 |
"I am the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. "And Moses trembled and dared not gaze.
| فَقَالَ لَهُ الرَّبُّ: اخْلَعْ نَعْلَيْكَ لأَنَّ الْمَكَانَ الَّذِي تَقِفُ عَلَيْهِ هُوَ أَرْضٌ مُقَدَّسَةٌ! | ٣٣ 33 |
"And the Lord said. "Take off your sandals, for the place on which you are standing is holy ground.
| إِنِّي رَأَيْتُ الْعَذَابَ الَّذِي يُعَانِيهِ شَعْبِي فِي مِصْرَ، وَسَمِعْتُ أَنِينَهُمْ، فَنَزَلْتُ لأُنْقِذَهُمْ. وَالآنَ، هَيَّا أُرْسِلُكَ إِلَى مِصْرَ! | ٣٤ 34 |
"Truly I have seen the oppression of my people in Egypt, and I have heard their groans, and am come down to rescue them; and now, come, I will send you into Egypt.
| فَمُوسَى الَّذِي رَفَضَهُ شَعْبُهُ قَائِلِينَ: مَنْ أَقَامَكَ رَئِيساً وَقَاضِياً عَلَيْنَا؟ هُوَ نَفْسُهُ أَرْسَلَهُ اللهُ رَئِيساً وَمُحَرِّراً، يُؤَيِّدُهُ الْمَلاكُ الَّذِي ظَهَرَ لَهُ فِي الْعُلَّيْقَةِ! | ٣٥ 35 |
"This Moses whom they refused when they said, Who made you to be a ruler and a judge? that same Moses we find God sending as a ruler and a redeemer by the hand in the bush.
| وَقَدْ أَخْرَجَ الشَّعْبَ مِنْ مِصْرَ وَهُوَ يُجْرِي عَجَائِبَ وَمُعْجِزَاتٍ فِيهَا، وَفِي الْبَحْرِ الأَحْمَرِ، وفِي الصَّحْرَاءِ مُدَّةَ أَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً. | ٣٦ 36 |
"This was he who brought them out, after he had shown signs and wonders in the wilderness, for forty years.
| وَمُوسَى هَذَا هُوَ الَّذِي قَالَ لِبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ: سَيَبْعَثُ اللهُ لَكُمْ مِنْ بَيْنِ إِخْوَتِكُمْ نَبِيًّا مِثْلِي. | ٣٧ 37 |
"It was this Moses who said to the Children of Israel, "God will raise up a Prophet for you from among your brothers, as he did me.
| وَهُوَ الَّذِي كَانَ يَقُودُ جَمَاعَةَ الشَّعْبِ فِي الصَّحْرَاءِ، وَقَدْ قَامَ بِدَوْرِ الْوَسِيطِ بَيْنَ الْمَلاكِ الَّذِي كَلَّمَهُ عَلَى جَبَلِ سِينَاءَ وَآبَائِنَا، فَنَقَلَ إِلَيْكُمْ وَصَايَا اللهِ الْحَيَّةَ. | ٣٨ 38 |
"This is the one who was in the congregation in the wilderness along with the angel who spoke to him in Mt. Sinai, and with our ancestors to whom he gave living words to hand down to us.
| وَلَكِنَّ آبَاءَنَا رَفَضُوا أَنْ يُطِيعُوا مُوسَى، وَلَمْ يَعْتَرِفُوا بِقِيَادَتِهِ، وَحَنَّتْ قُلُوبُهُمْ لِلرُّجُوعِ إِلَى مِصْرَ، | ٣٩ 39 |
"To him our ancestors would not be obedient, but thrust him aside, and in their hearts turned back into Egypt.
| وَقَالُوا لِهَرُونَ: اصْنَعْ لَنَا آلِهَةً تَهْدِينَا فِي سَيْرِنَا، فَإِنَّنَا لَا نَعْلَمُ مَاذَا جَرَى لِمُوسَى هَذَا الَّذِي أَخْرَجَنَا مِنْ بِلادِ مِصْرَ! | ٤٠ 40 |
"Said they to Aaron. "Make Gods for us who shall march in front of us! As for this Moses who led us forth out of the land of Egypt, we know not what has happened to him.
| فَصَنَعُوا صَنَماً عَلَى صُورَةِ عِجْلٍ فِي تِلْكَ الأَيَّامِ وَقَدَّمُوا لَهُ ذَبِيحَةً، وَابْتَهَجُوا بِمَا صَنَعَتْ أَيْدِيهِمْ. | ٤١ 41 |
"And they made a calf in those days, and offered a sacrifice to this idol, and began to rejoice over what they had made with their hands.
| فَتَحَوَلَّ اللهُ عَنْهُمْ وَتَرَكَهُمْ يَعْبُدُونَ كَوَاكِبَ السَّمَاءِ، كَمَا جَاءَ فِي كِتَابِ الأَنْبِيَاءِ: يَا بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، هَلْ قَرَّبْتُمْ لِي ذَبَائِحَ وَتَقْدِمَاتٍ طَوَالَ أَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً فِي الصَّحْرَاءِ؟ | ٤٢ 42 |
"So God turned from them, and gave them up to the worship of the heavenly host, as it is written in the book of the Prophets. "Did you offer unto me slain beasts as sacrifices during the forty years in the wilderness, O House of Israel?
| لا، بَلْ حَمَلْتُمْ خَيْمَةَ الصَّنَمِ مُولُوكَ، وَكَوْكَبَ الإِلَهِ رَمْفَانَ، التِّمْثَالَيْنِ اللَّذَيْنِ صَنَعْتُمَاهُمَا لِتَسْجُدُوا لَهُمَا! لِذلِكَ سَأَنْفِيكُمْ إِلَى أَبْعَدَ مِنْ بَابِلَ! | ٤٣ 43 |
No, it was the Tabernacle of Moloch and the star-symbol of the god Rempha that you lifted up - the images which you made in order to worship them; so I will carry you away beyond Babylon.
| وَقَدْ حَمَلَ آبَاؤُنَا مَعَهُمْ فِي الصَّحْرَاءِ خَيْمَةَ الشَّهَادَةِ. وَكَانَ اللهُ قَدْ أَوْصَى مُوسَى أَنْ يُقِيمَهَا عَلَى الْمِثَالِ الَّذِي أَطْلَعَهُ عَلَيْهِ؛ | ٤٤ 44 |
"In the wilderness our ancestors had the Tabernacle of Testimony built, as he appointed who told Moses to make it according to the pattern he had seen.
| ثُمَّ دَخَلُوا بِها إِلَى هَذِهِ الْبِلادِ الَّتِي فَتَحُوهَا بِقِيَادَةِ يَشُوعَ، بَعْدَمَا طَرَدَ اللهُ مِنْ أَمَامِهِمِ الشُّعُوبَ السَّاكِنَةَ فِيهَا. وَظَلَّ آبَاؤُنَا يَعْبُدُونَ اللهَ فِي الْخَيْمَةِ حَتَّى أَيَّامِ دَاوُدَ، | ٤٥ 45 |
"That tabernacle was brought in by our ancestors, in their turn, when they under Joshua entered on the possession of the nations whom God thrust out before them, until the days of David.
| الَّذِي نَالَ قُبُولاً لَدَى اللهِ، فَسَعَى أَنْ يَجِدَ بَيْتاً لإِلَهِ يَعْقُوبَ. | ٤٦ 46 |
"David obtained favor with God, and asked permission to find a dwelling-place for the God of Jacob.
| وَتَحَقَّقَتْ هذِهِ الرَّغْبَةُ عَلَى يَدِ سُلَيْمَانَ الَّذِي بَنَى الْهَيْكَلَ. | ٤٧ 47 |
"But it was Solomon who built him a house.
| إِلّا أَنَّ الْعَلِيَّ لَا يَسْكُنُ فِي هَيَاكِلَ تَصْنَعُهَا أَيْدِي الْبَشَرِ، كَمَا قَالَ النَّبِيُّ: | ٤٨ 48 |
"Yet the Most High does not dwell in houses made with hands; as said the prophet.
| السَّمَاءُ عَرْشِي، وَالأَرْضُ مَوْطِئُ قَدَمَيَّ. فَأَيَّ بَيْتٍ تَبْنُونُ لِي؟ يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ، وَأَيَّ مَكَانٍ تُعِدُّونَ لِرَاحَتِي؟ | ٤٩ 49 |
"The heaven is my throne, And the earth the footstool of my feet; What kind of house will you build for me? saith the Lord. Or what resting-place shall I have?
| أَلَيْسَتْ يَدِي قَدْ صَنَعَتْ هَذِهِ الأَشْيَاءَ كُلَّهَا؟» | ٥٠ 50 |
Did not my hand make this universe?
| ثُمَّ قَالَ اسْتِفَانُوسُ: «يَا أَصْحَابَ الرِّقَابِ الصُّلْبَةِ وَالْقُلُوبِ وَالآذَانِ غَيْرِ الْمَخْتُونَةِ! إِنَّكُمْ دَائِماً تُقَاوِمُونَ الرُّوحَ الْقُدُسَ. وَكَمَا فَعَلَ آبَاؤُكُمْ تَفْعَلُونَ! | ٥١ 51 |
"Stiff-necked, uncircumcised in heart and ears! You are always resisting the Holy Ghost! As your fathers did, so do you.
| فَأَيُّ نَبِيٍّ نَجَا مِنِ اضْطِهَادِهِمْ وَقَدْ قَتَلُوا الَّذِينَ أَنْبَأُوا بِمَجِيءِ البَارِّ الَّذِي سَلَّمْتُمُوهُ أَنْتُمْ وَقَتَلْتُمُوهُ! | ٥٢ 52 |
"Which of the prophets did not your fathers persecute? They killed those who foretold the coming of the Righteous One, whose betrayers and murderers you have now become -
| فَأَنْتُمْ أَخَذْتُمُ الشَّرِيعَةَ مِنْ أَيْدِي الْمَلائِكَةِ، وَلَكِنَّكُمْ لَمْ تُطِيعُوهَا!» | ٥٣ 53 |
"you who received the law, given through angels, and obeyed it not."
| فَلَمَّا سَمِعَ الْمُجْتَمِعُونَ كَلامَ اسْتِفَانُوسَ، مَلأَ الْغَيْظُ قُلُوبَهُمْ، وَأَخَذُوا يَصِرُّونَ بِأَسْنَانِهِمْ تَوَعُّداً. | ٥٤ 54 |
As they heard these words they became furious and gnashed their teeth at him.
| فَرَفَعَ اسْتِفَانُوسُ نَظَرَهُ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ، وَهُوَ مُمْتَلِئٌ مِنَ الرُّوحِ الْقُدُسِ، فَرَأَى مَجْدَ اللهِ وَيَسُوعَ وَاقِفاً عَنْ يَمِينِ اللهِ، | ٥٥ 55 |
But he, full of the Holy Spirit, looked up stedfastly into heaven, and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God.
| فَقَالَ: «إِنِّي أَرَى السَّمَاءَ مَفْتُوحَةً وَابْنَ الإِنْسَانِ وَاقِفاً عَنْ يَمِينِ اللهِ!» | ٥٦ 56 |
"Look, I see heaven open," he said, "And the Son of man standing at the right hand of God."
| فَصَاحُوا صِيَاحاً شَدِيداً، وَسَدُّوا آذَانَهُمْ وَهَجَمُوا عَلَيْهِ هَجْمَةً وَاحِدَةً، | ٥٧ 57 |
With a loud outcry they stopped their ears, and rushed upon Stephen in a body,
| وَدَفَعُوهُ إِلَى خَارِجِ الْمَدِينَةِ، وَأَخَذُوا يَرْجُمُونَهُ بِالْحِجَارَةِ. وَخَلَعَ الشُّهُودُ ثِيَابَهُمْ عِنْدَ قَدَمَيْ شَابٍّ اسْمُهُ شَاوُلُ لِكَيْ يَحْرُسَهَا. | ٥٨ 58 |
dragged him outside the city, and stoned him, the witnesses throwing off their outer garments at the feet of a young man named Saul.
| وَبَيْنَمَا كَانُوا يَرْجُمُونَ اسْتِفَانُوسَ، كَانَ يَدْعُو: «أَيُّهَا الرَّبُّ يَسُوعُ، اقْبَلْ رُوحِي!» | ٥٩ 59 |
So they stoned Stephen while he prayed, "Lord Jesus, receive my spirit."
| ثُمَّ رَكَعَ وَصَرَخَ بِصَوْتٍ عَالٍ: «يَا رَبُّ، لَا تَحْسُبْ عَلَيْهِمْ هَذِهِ الْخَطِيئَةَ!» وَإِذْ قَالَ هَذَا رَقَدَ. | ٦٠ 60 |
Then he knelt down and cried aloud, "Lord, lay not this sin to their charge."
