أعمال 9
| أَمَّا شَاوُلُ فَكَانَ يَفُورُ بِالتَّهْدِيدِ وَالْقَتْلِ عَلَى تَلامِيذِ الرَّبِّ. فَذَهَبَ إِلَى رَئِيسِ الْكَهَنَةِ، | ١ 1 |
Meanwhile Saul, still exhaling murderous threats against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest
| وَطَلَبَ مِنْهُ رَسَائِلَ إِلَى مَجَامِعِ الْيَهُودِ فِي دِمَشْقَ لِتَسْهِيلِ الْقَبْضِ عَلَى أَتْبَاعِ هَذَا الطَّرِيقِ مِنَ الرِّجَالِ وَالنِّسَاءِ، حَيْثُمَا يَجِدُهُمْ، لِيَسُوقَهُمْ مُقَيَّدِينَ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ. | ٢ 2 |
and asked for letters from him to the synagogues of Damascus, so that if he should find any who were of the Way, whether men or women, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem.
| وَفِيمَا هُوَ مُنْطَلِقٌ إِلَى دِمَشْقَ، وَقَدِ اقْتَرَبَ مِنْهَا، لَمَعَ حَوْلَهُ فَجْأَةً نُورٌ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ، | ٣ 3 |
So it happened, as he was going, that he got close to Damascus, and suddenly a light from heaven shone around him;
| فَوَقَعَ إِلَى الأَرْضِ وَسَمِعَ صَوْتاً يَقُولُ لَهُ: «شَاوُلُ! شَاوُلُ! لِمَاذَا تَضْطَهِدُنِي؟» | ٤ 4 |
and falling to the ground he heard a voice saying to him, “Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me?”
| فَسَأَلَ: «مَنْ أَنْتَ يَا سَيِّدُ؟» فَجَاءَهُ الْجَوَابُ: «أَنَا يَسُوعُ الَّذِي أَنْتَ تَضْطَهِدُهُ، صَعْبٌ عَلَيْكَ أَنْ تَرْفُسَ الْمَنَاخِسَ». | ٥ 5 |
So he said, “Who are you, Lord?” So the Lord said, “I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting;
| فَقَالَ وَهُوَ مُرْتَعِدٌ وَمُتَحَيِّرٌ: «يَا رَبُّ مَاذَا تُرِيدُ أَنْ أَفْعَلَ؟» فَقَالَ لَهُ الرَّبُّ: «قُمْ، وَادْخُلِ الْمَدِينَةَ فَيُقَالَ لَكَ مَا يَجِبُ أَنْ تَفْعَلَهُ». | ٦ 6 |
but get up and go into the city, and you will be told what you must do.”
| وَأَمَّا مُرَافِقُو شَاوُلَ فَوَقَفُوا مَذْهُولِينَ لَا يَنْطِقُونَ، فَقَدْ سَمِعُوا الصَّوْتَ وَلَكِنَّهُمْ لَمْ يَرَوْا أَحَداً. | ٧ 7 |
The men who were traveling with him stood speechless, hearing the sound but seeing no one.
| وَعِنْدَمَا نَهَضَ شَاوُلُ عَنِ الأَرْضِ، فَتَحَ عَيْنَيْهِ فَوَجَدَ أَنَّهُ لَا يُبْصِرُ، فَاقْتَادُوهُ بِيَدِهِ وَأَدْخَلُوهُ إِلَى دِمَشْقَ، | ٨ 8 |
Then Saul got up from the ground, and upon opening his eyes he saw no one; so leading him by the hand they brought him into Damascus.
| حَيْثُ بَقِيَ ثَلاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ لَا يُبْصِرُ وَلا يَأْكُلُ وَلا يَشْرَبُ. | ٩ 9 |
He was without sight for three days, and neither ate nor drank.
| وَكَانَ فِي دِمَشْقَ تِلْمِيذٌ لِلرَّبِّ اسْمُهُ حَنَانِيَّا، نَادَاهُ الرَّبُّ فِي رُؤْيَا: «يَا حَنَانِيَّا!» فَقَالَ: «لَبَّيْكَ يَا رَبُّ!» | ١٠ 10 |
Now there was a certain disciple at Damascus named Ananias, and the Lord said to him in a vision, “Ananias!” So he said, “Here I am, Lord.”
| فَقَالَ لَهُ الرَّبُّ: «اذْهَبْ إِلَى الشَّارِعِ الْمَعْرُوفِ بِالْمُسْتَقِيمِ وَاسْأَلْ فِي بَيْتِ يَهُوذَا، عَنْ رَجُلٍ مِنْ طَرْسُوسَ اسْمُهُ شَاوُلُ. إِنَّهُ يُصَلِّي هُنَاكَ الآنَ. | ١١ 11 |
So the Lord said to him: “Get up and go to the street called Straight, and at the house of Judas inquire by name for Saul of Tarsus; because, you see, he is praying,
| وَقَدْ رَأَى فِي رُؤْيَا رَجُلاً اسْمُهُ حَنَانِيَّا يَدْخُلُ إِلَيْهِ وَيَضَعُ يَدَهُ عَلَيْهِ، فَيُبْصِرُ». | ١٢ 12 |
and in a vision he has seen a man named Ananias coming in and placing a hand on him, so that he might recover his sight.”
| فَقَالَ حَنَانِيَّا لِلرَّبِّ: «وَلَكِنِّي، يَا رَبُّ، قَدْ سَمِعْتُ مِنْ كَثِيرِينَ بِالْفَظَائِعِ الَّتِي ارْتَكَبَهَا هَذَا الرَّجُلُ بِقِدِّيسِيكَ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ، | ١٣ 13 |
But Ananias answered: “Lord, I have heard from many about this man, how many evil things he has done to Your saints in Jerusalem.
| وَقَدْ كَلَّفَهُ رُؤَسَاءُ الْكَهَنَةِ السُّلْطَةَ لِيُلْقِيَ الْقَبْضَ عَلَى كُلِّ مَنْ يَدْعُو بِاسْمِكَ». | ١٤ 14 |
Moreover here he has authority from the chief priests to bind all who are calling on Your name.”
| فَأَمَرَهُ الرَّبُّ: «اذْهَبْ! فَقَدِ اخْتَرْتُ هَذَا الرَّجُلَ لِيَكُونَ إِنَاءً يَحْمِلُ اسْمِي إِلَى الأُمَمِ وَالْمُلُوكِ وَبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ. | ١٥ 15 |
But the Lord said to him: “Get moving, because this man is a chosen vessel to me, to carry my name before nations and kings, also the children of Israel;
| وَسَأُرِيهِ كَمْ يَنْبَغِي أَنْ يَتَأَلَّمَ مِنْ أَجْلِ اسْمِي!» | ١٦ 16 |
for I will show him how many things he must suffer for my name's sake.”
| فَذَهَبَ حَنَانِيَّا وَدَخَلَ بَيْتَ يَهُوذَا، وَوَضَعَ يَدَيْهِ عَلَى شَاوُلَ وَقَالَ: «أَيُّهَا الأَخُ شَاوُلُ، إِنَّ الرَّبَّ يَسُوعَ، الَّذِي ظَهَرَ لَكَ فِي الطَّرِيقِ الَّتِي جِئْتَ فِيهَا، أَرْسَلَنِي إِلَيْكَ لِكَيْ تُبْصِرَ وَتَمْتَلِئَ مِنَ الرُّوحِ الْقُدُسِ». | ١٧ 17 |
So Ananias went and entered the house, and placing his hands on him he said, “Brother Saul, the Lord, who appeared to you on the road by which you came, has sent me so that you may recover your sight and be filled by Holy Spirit.”
| وَفِي الْحَالِ تَسَاقَطَ مِنْ عَيْنَيْ شَاوُلَ مَا يُشْبِهُ الْقُشُورَ، فَأَبْصَرَ، ثُمَّ قَامَ وَتَعَمَّدَ. | ١٨ 18 |
Immediately something like scales fell from his eyes, and he recovered his sight forthwith; and getting up he was baptized,
| وَتَنَاوَلَ طَعَاماً فَاسْتَعَادَ قُوَّتَهُ وَبَقِيَ بِضْعَةَ أَيَّامٍ مَعَ التَّلامِيذِ فِي دِمَشْقَ. | ١٩ 19 |
and upon receiving food he was strengthened. So Saul was with the disciples in Damascus for a number of days.
| وَفِي الْحَالِ بَدَأَ يُبَشِّرُ فِي الْمَجَامِعِ بِأَنَّ يَسُوعَ هُوَ ابْنُ اللهِ. | ٢٠ 20 |
Immediately he started proclaiming Jesus in the synagogues, that He is the Son of the God.
| وَأَثَارَ كَلامُهُ دَهْشَةَ السَّامِعِينَ، فَتَسَاءَلُوا: «أَلَيْسَ هَذَا هُوَ الَّذِي كَانَ يُبِيدُ جَمِيعَ الدَّاعِينَ بِهَذَا الاِسْمِ فِي أُورُشَليمَ؟ أَمَا جَاءَ إِلَى هُنَا لِيُلْقِيَ الْقَبْضَ عَلَيْهِمْ وَيَسُوقَهُمْ مُقَيَّدِينَ إِلَى رُؤَسَاءِ الْكَهَنَةِ؟» | ٢١ 21 |
Well, all who heard him were astounded and started saying: “Isn't this the one who tried to destroy, in Jerusalem, those who called on this name? Even here he had come with that purpose, that he might take them bound to the high priests.”
| وَأَمَّا شَاوُلُ فَقَدْ صَارَ أَكْثَرَ حَمَاسَةً فِي وَعْظِهِ، فَكَانَ يُفْحِمُ الْيَهُودَ السَّاكِنِينَ فِي دِمَشْقَ بِبَرَاهِينِهِ الَّتيِ كَانَ يُبَيِّنُ بِها أَنَّ يَسُوعَ هُوَ الْمَسِيحُ. | ٢٢ 22 |
But Saul kept growing stronger and kept on confounding the Jews who lived in Damascus, proving that ‘This One is the Christ.’
| وَبَعْدَ عِدَّةِ أَيَّامٍ، حَاكَ الْيَهُودُ فِي دِمَشْقَ مُؤَامَرَةً لِقَتْلِ شَاوُلَ، | ٢٣ 23 |
Now when a good many days had passed, the Jews plotted to kill him;
| فَعَلِمَ بِها. وَكَانُوا يُرَاقِبُونَ أَبْوَابَ الْمَدِينَةِ نَهَاراً وَلَيْلاً لِيَقْتُلُوهُ وَهُوَ يَخْرُجُ مِنْهَا. | ٢٤ 24 |
but their plot became known to Saul. They started watching the gates day and night, so that they might kill him;
| فَأَخَذَهُ بَعْضُ التَّلامِيذِ لَيْلاً وَوَضَعُوهُ فِي سَلٍّ، وَأَنْزَلُوهُ بِالْحِبَالِ مِنْ عَلَى سُورِ الْمَدِينَةِ. | ٢٥ 25 |
so the disciples took him by night and passed him through the wall, lowering him in a hamper.
| وَلَمَّا وَصَلَ شَاوُلُ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ، حَاوَلَ أَنْ يَنْضَمَّ إِلَى التَّلامِيذِ هُنَاكَ، فَخَافُوا مِنْهُ، إِذْ لَمْ يُصَدِّقُوا أَنَّهُ صَارَ تِلْمِيذاً لِلرَّبِّ. | ٢٦ 26 |
Now upon arriving in Jerusalem Saul kept trying to join himself to the disciples; but they were all afraid of him, not believing that he was a disciple.
| فَتَوَلَّى بَرْنَابَا أَمْرَهُ وَأَحْضَرَهُ إِلَى الرُّسُلِ، وَحَدَّثَهُمْ كَيْفَ ظَهَرَ الرَّبُّ لَهُ فِي الطَّرِيقِ وَكَلَّمَهُ، وَكَيْفَ بَشَّرَ بِجُرْأَةٍ بِاسْمِ يَسُوعَ فِي دِمَشْقَ. | ٢٧ 27 |
But Barnabas took him in tow and brought him to the apostles, and described to them how he had seen the Lord on the road, and that He had spoken to him, and how in Damascus he had spoken fearlessly in the name of the Lord Jesus.
| فَأَخَذَ يَذْهَبُ وَيَجِيءُ مَعَهُمْ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ، مُبَشِّراً بِاسْمِ الرَّبِّ بِجُرْأَةٍ. | ٢٨ 28 |
So he was with them in Jerusalem, going in and out, and speaking fearlessly in the name of Jesus.
| وَكَانَ يُخَاطِبُ الْيَهُودَ الْيُونَانِيِّينَ وَيُجَادِلُهُمْ، فَحَاوَلُوا أَنْ يَقْتُلُوهُ. | ٢٩ 29 |
He kept on speaking and debating with the Hellenists, so they started trying to kill him.
| فَلَمَّا عَلِمَ الإِخْوَةُ بِذَلِكَ أَنْزَلُوهُ إِلَى مِينَاءِ قَيْصَرِيَّةَ. وَمِنْ هُنَاكَ أَرْسَلُوهُ إِلَى طَرْسُوسَ. | ٣٠ 30 |
Upon finding it out, the brothers brought him down to Caesarea and sent him off to Tarsus.
| فِي أَثْنَاءِ ذَلِكَ كَانَتِ الْكَنِيسَةُ فِي مَنَاطِقِ الْيَهُودِيَّةِ وَالْجَلِيلِ وَالسَّامِرَةِ تَتَمَتَّعُ بِالسَّلامِ. وَكَانَتْ تَنْمُو وَتَسِيرُ فِي تَقْوَى الرَّبِّ، بِمُسَانَدَةِ الرُّوحِ الْقُدُسِ. | ٣١ 31 |
So then the congregations throughout all Judea and Galilee, and Samaria, had peace and were built up; and proceeding in the fear of the Lord and in the enabling of the Holy Spirit they were being multiplied.
| وَبَيْنَمَا كَانَ بُطْرُسُ يَنْتَقِلُ مِنْ مَكَانٍ إِلَى مَكَانٍ، زَارَ السَّاكِنِينَ فِي مَدِينَةِ لُدَّةَ، | ٣٢ 32 |
Now it happened, as Peter went through all those parts, that he also went down to the saints who were living in Lydda.
| وَوَجَدَ هُنَاكَ مَشْلُولاً اسْمُهُ إِينِيَاسُ، مَضَتْ عَلَيْهِ ثَمَانِي سَنَوَاتٍ وَهُوَ طَرِيحُ الْفِرَاشِ. | ٣٣ 33 |
And there he found a certain man named Aeneas who was paralyzed—he had been lying on a pallet for eight years.
| فَقَالَ لَهُ: «يَا إِينِيَاسُ، شَفَاكَ يَسُوعُ الْمَسِيحُ. قُمْ وَرَتِّبْ سَرِيرَكَ بِنَفْسِكَ!» فَقَامَ فِي الْحَالِ. | ٣٤ 34 |
Peter said to him: “Aeneas, Jesus the Messiah is healing you. Get up and make your bed!” And immediately he stood up!
| وَرَآهُ سُكَّانُ لُدَّةَ وَشَارُونَ جَمِيعاً، فَرَجَعُوا إِلَى الرَّبِّ. | ٣٥ 35 |
All who were living in Lydda and Sharon saw him, and they turned to the Lord.
| وَكَانَ فِي مَدِينَةِ يَافَا تِلْمِيذَةٌ اسْمُهَا طَابِيثَا، وَمَعْنَى اسْمِهَا: غَزَالَةُ، كَانَ يَشْغَلُهَا دَائِماً فِعْلُ الْخَيْرِ وَمُسَاعَدَةُ الْفُقَرَاءِ. | ٣٦ 36 |
Now there was a certain disciple in Joppa named Tabitha, which is translated Dorcas. This woman was full of good works and charitable deeds that she kept doing.
| وَحَدَثَ فِي ذَلِكَ الْوَقْتِ أَنَّهَا مَرِضَتْ وَمَاتَتْ، فَغَسَّلُوهَا وَوَضَعُوهَا فِي غُرْفَةٍ بِالطَّبَقَةِ الْعُلْيَا. | ٣٧ 37 |
But it happened in those days that she took sick and died; so when they had washed her they placed her in the upper room.
| وَسَمِعَ التَّلامِيذُ فِي يَافَا أَنَّ بُطْرُسَ فِي لُدَّةَ. وَإِذْ كَانَتْ يَافَا قَرِيبَةً مِنْ لُدَّةَ، أَرْسَلُوا إِلَيْهِ رَجُلَيْنِ يَطْلُبَانِ إِلَيْهِ قَائِلَيْنِ: «تَعَالَ إِلَيْنَا وَلا تَتَأَخَّرْ!» | ٣٨ 38 |
Now Lydda was near Joppa; the disciples, having heard that Peter was there, sent to him imploring him not to delay in coming to them.
| فَقَامَ وَذَهَبَ. وَلَمَّا وَصَلَ قَادُوهُ إِلَى الطَّبَقَةِ الْعُلْيَا، فَتَقَدَّمَتْ إِلَيْهِ جَمِيعُ الأَرَامِلِ بَاكِيَاتٍ، يَعْرِضْنَ بَعْضَ الأَقْمِصَةِ وَالثِّيَابِ مِمَّا كَانَتْ غَزَالَةُ تَخِيطُهُ وَهِيَ مَعَهُنَّ. | ٣٩ 39 |
So Peter got up and went with them; upon arriving they took him up to the upper room; all the widows stood around him weeping and showing the coats and garments that Dorcas was making while she was with them.
| فَطَلَبَ بُطْرُسُ إِلَى جَمِيعِ الْحَاضِرِينَ أَنْ يَخْرُجُوا مِنَ الْغُرْفَةِ، وَرَكَعَ وَصَلَّى، ثُمَّ الْتَفَتَ إِلَى الْجُثَّةِ وَقَالَ: «يَا طَابِيثَا، قُومِي!» فَفَتَحَتْ عَيْنَيْهَا. وَلَمَّا رَأَتْ بُطْرُسَ جَلَسَتْ، | ٤٠ 40 |
So Peter put them all out, kneeled down and prayed. Turning to the body he said, “Tabitha, get up!” So she opened her eyes, and upon seeing Peter she sat up.
| فَمَدَّ يَدَهُ إِلَيْهَا وَسَاعَدَهَا عَلَى النُّهُوضِ، ثُمَّ دَعَا الْقِدِّيسِينَ وَالأَرَامِلَ، وَرَدَّهَا إِلَيْهِمْ حَيَّةً. | ٤١ 41 |
Then he gave her a hand and lifted her up, and calling the saints and widows he presented her alive.
| وَانْتَشَرَ خَبَرُ هَذِهِ الْمُعْجِزَةِ فِي يَافَا كُلِّهَا، فَآمَنَ بِالرَّبِّ كَثِيرُونَ. | ٤٢ 42 |
And it became known throughout all Joppa, and many believed on the Lord.
| وَبَقِيَ بُطْرُسُ فِي يَافَا عِدَّةَ أَيَّامٍ عِنْدَ دَبَّاغٍ اسْمُهُ سِمْعَانُ. | ٤٣ 43 |
So it was that he stayed many days in Joppa with a certain Simon, a tanner.
