أعمال 9
| أَمَّا شَاوُلُ فَكَانَ يَفُورُ بِالتَّهْدِيدِ وَالْقَتْلِ عَلَى تَلامِيذِ الرَّبِّ. فَذَهَبَ إِلَى رَئِيسِ الْكَهَنَةِ، | ١ 1 |
But Saul, still breathing threats and slaughter 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, that if he found 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 |
As he travelled, he got close to Damascus, and suddenly a light from the sky shone around him.
| فَوَقَعَ إِلَى الأَرْضِ وَسَمِعَ صَوْتاً يَقُولُ لَهُ: «شَاوُلُ! شَاوُلُ! لِمَاذَا تَضْطَهِدُنِي؟» | ٤ 4 |
He fell on the earth, and heard a voice saying to him, “Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?”
| فَسَأَلَ: «مَنْ أَنْتَ يَا سَيِّدُ؟» فَجَاءَهُ الْجَوَابُ: «أَنَا يَسُوعُ الَّذِي أَنْتَ تَضْطَهِدُهُ، صَعْبٌ عَلَيْكَ أَنْ تَرْفُسَ الْمَنَاخِسَ». | ٥ 5 |
He said, “Who are you, Lord?” 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 rise up and enter into the city, then 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 travelled 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 |
Saul arose from the ground, and when his eyes were opened, he saw no one. They led him by the hand and 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. The Lord said to him in a vision, “Ananias!” He said, “Behold, it’s me, 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 |
The Lord said to him, “Arise and go to the street which is called Straight, and enquire in the house of Judah for one named Saul, a man of Tarsus. For behold, 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 laying his hands on him, that he might receive 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 much evil he did to your saints at Jerusalem.
| وَقَدْ كَلَّفَهُ رُؤَسَاءُ الْكَهَنَةِ السُّلْطَةَ لِيُلْقِيَ الْقَبْضَ عَلَى كُلِّ مَنْ يَدْعُو بِاسْمِكَ». | ١٤ 14 |
Here he has authority from the chief priests to bind all who call 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, “Go your way, for he is my chosen vessel to bear my name before the nations and kings, and 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 |
Ananias departed and entered into the house. Laying his hands on him, he said, “Brother Saul, the Lord, who appeared to you on the road by which you came, has sent me that you may receive your sight and be filled with the 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 received his sight. He arose and was baptised.
| وَتَنَاوَلَ طَعَاماً فَاسْتَعَادَ قُوَّتَهُ وَبَقِيَ بِضْعَةَ أَيَّامٍ مَعَ التَّلامِيذِ فِي دِمَشْقَ. | ١٩ 19 |
He took food and was strengthened. Saul stayed several days with the disciples who were at Damascus.
| وَفِي الْحَالِ بَدَأَ يُبَشِّرُ فِي الْمَجَامِعِ بِأَنَّ يَسُوعَ هُوَ ابْنُ اللهِ. | ٢٠ 20 |
Immediately in the synagogues he proclaimed the Christ, that he is the Son of 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 |
All who heard him were amazed, and said, “Isn’t this he who in Jerusalem made havoc of those who called on this name? And he had come here intending to bring them bound before the chief 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 increased more in strength, and confounded the Jews who lived at Damascus, proving that this is the Christ.
| وَبَعْدَ عِدَّةِ أَيَّامٍ، حَاكَ الْيَهُودُ فِي دِمَشْقَ مُؤَامَرَةً لِقَتْلِ شَاوُلَ، | ٢٣ 23 |
When many days were fulfilled, the Jews conspired together 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 watched the gates both day and night that they might kill him,
| فَأَخَذَهُ بَعْضُ التَّلامِيذِ لَيْلاً وَوَضَعُوهُ فِي سَلٍّ، وَأَنْزَلُوهُ بِالْحِبَالِ مِنْ عَلَى سُورِ الْمَدِينَةِ. | ٢٥ 25 |
but his disciples took him by night and let him down through the wall, lowering him in a basket.
| وَلَمَّا وَصَلَ شَاوُلُ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ، حَاوَلَ أَنْ يَنْضَمَّ إِلَى التَّلامِيذِ هُنَاكَ، فَخَافُوا مِنْهُ، إِذْ لَمْ يُصَدِّقُوا أَنَّهُ صَارَ تِلْمِيذاً لِلرَّبِّ. | ٢٦ 26 |
When Saul had come to Jerusalem, he tried 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 and brought him to the apostles, and declared to them how he had seen the Lord on the way, and that he had spoken to him, and how at Damascus he had preached boldly in the name of Jesus.
| فَأَخَذَ يَذْهَبُ وَيَجِيءُ مَعَهُمْ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ، مُبَشِّراً بِاسْمِ الرَّبِّ بِجُرْأَةٍ. | ٢٨ 28 |
He was with them entering into Jerusalem,
| وَكَانَ يُخَاطِبُ الْيَهُودَ الْيُونَانِيِّينَ وَيُجَادِلُهُمْ، فَحَاوَلُوا أَنْ يَقْتُلُوهُ. | ٢٩ 29 |
preaching boldly in the name of the Lord Jesus. He spoke and disputed against the Hellenists, but they were seeking to kill him.
| فَلَمَّا عَلِمَ الإِخْوَةُ بِذَلِكَ أَنْزَلُوهُ إِلَى مِينَاءِ قَيْصَرِيَّةَ. وَمِنْ هُنَاكَ أَرْسَلُوهُ إِلَى طَرْسُوسَ. | ٣٠ 30 |
When the brothers knew it, they 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 the assemblies throughout all Judea, Galilee, and Samaria had peace and were built up. They were multiplied, walking in the fear of the Lord and in the comfort of the Holy Spirit.
| وَبَيْنَمَا كَانَ بُطْرُسُ يَنْتَقِلُ مِنْ مَكَانٍ إِلَى مَكَانٍ، زَارَ السَّاكِنِينَ فِي مَدِينَةِ لُدَّةَ، | ٣٢ 32 |
As Peter went throughout all those parts, he came down also to the saints who lived at Lydda.
| وَوَجَدَ هُنَاكَ مَشْلُولاً اسْمُهُ إِينِيَاسُ، مَضَتْ عَلَيْهِ ثَمَانِي سَنَوَاتٍ وَهُوَ طَرِيحُ الْفِرَاشِ. | ٣٣ 33 |
There he found a certain man named Aeneas, who had been bedridden for eight years because he was paralysed.
| فَقَالَ لَهُ: «يَا إِينِيَاسُ، شَفَاكَ يَسُوعُ الْمَسِيحُ. قُمْ وَرَتِّبْ سَرِيرَكَ بِنَفْسِكَ!» فَقَامَ فِي الْحَالِ. | ٣٤ 34 |
Peter said to him, “Aeneas, Jesus Christ heals you. Get up and make your bed!” Immediately he arose.
| وَرَآهُ سُكَّانُ لُدَّةَ وَشَارُونَ جَمِيعاً، فَرَجَعُوا إِلَى الرَّبِّ. | ٣٥ 35 |
All who lived at Lydda and in 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 at Joppa a certain disciple named Tabitha, which when translated means Dorcas. This woman was full of good works and acts of mercy which she did.
| وَحَدَثَ فِي ذَلِكَ الْوَقْتِ أَنَّهَا مَرِضَتْ وَمَاتَتْ، فَغَسَّلُوهَا وَوَضَعُوهَا فِي غُرْفَةٍ بِالطَّبَقَةِ الْعُلْيَا. | ٣٧ 37 |
In those days, she became sick and died. When they had washed her, they laid her in an 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 |
As Lydda was near Joppa, the disciples, hearing that Peter was there, sent two men 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 |
Peter got up and went with them. When he had come, they brought him into the upper room. All the widows stood by him weeping, and showing the tunics and other garments which Dorcas had made 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 |
Peter sent them all out, and knelt down and prayed. Turning to the body, he said, “Tabitha, get up!” She opened her eyes, and when she saw Peter, she sat up.
| فَمَدَّ يَدَهُ إِلَيْهَا وَسَاعَدَهَا عَلَى النُّهُوضِ، ثُمَّ دَعَا الْقِدِّيسِينَ وَالأَرَامِلَ، وَرَدَّهَا إِلَيْهِمْ حَيَّةً. | ٤١ 41 |
He gave her his hand and raised her up. Calling the saints and widows, he presented her alive.
| وَانْتَشَرَ خَبَرُ هَذِهِ الْمُعْجِزَةِ فِي يَافَا كُلِّهَا، فَآمَنَ بِالرَّبِّ كَثِيرُونَ. | ٤٢ 42 |
This became known throughout all Joppa, and many believed in the Lord.
| وَبَقِيَ بُطْرُسُ فِي يَافَا عِدَّةَ أَيَّامٍ عِنْدَ دَبَّاغٍ اسْمُهُ سِمْعَانُ. | ٤٣ 43 |
He stayed many days in Joppa with a tanner named Simon.
