Acts 9
1 But Shaul, still breathing threats and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest,
| أَمَّا شَاوُلُ فَكَانَ يَفُورُ بِالتَّهْدِيدِ وَالْقَتْلِ عَلَى تَلامِيذِ الرَّبِّ. فَذَهَبَ إِلَى رَئِيسِ الْكَهَنَةِ، | ١ |
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 Urishlim.
| وَطَلَبَ مِنْهُ رَسَائِلَ إِلَى مَجَامِعِ الْيَهُودِ فِي دِمَشْقَ لِتَسْهِيلِ الْقَبْضِ عَلَى أَتْبَاعِ هَذَا الطَّرِيقِ مِنَ الرِّجَالِ وَالنِّسَاءِ، حَيْثُمَا يَجِدُهُمْ، لِيَسُوقَهُمْ مُقَيَّدِينَ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ. | ٢ |
3 As he traveled, it happened that he got close to Damascus, and suddenly a light from the sky shone around him.
| وَفِيمَا هُوَ مُنْطَلِقٌ إِلَى دِمَشْقَ، وَقَدِ اقْتَرَبَ مِنْهَا، لَمَعَ حَوْلَهُ فَجْأَةً نُورٌ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ، | ٣ |
4 And he fell to the ground, and heard a voice saying to him, "Shaul, Shaul, why do you persecute me?"
| فَوَقَعَ إِلَى الأَرْضِ وَسَمِعَ صَوْتاً يَقُولُ لَهُ: «شَاوُلُ! شَاوُلُ! لِمَاذَا تَضْطَهِدُنِي؟» | ٤ |
5 And he said, "Who are you, Lord?" And he said, "I am Yeshua, whom you are persecuting.
| فَسَأَلَ: «مَنْ أَنْتَ يَا سَيِّدُ؟» فَجَاءَهُ الْجَوَابُ: «أَنَا يَسُوعُ الَّذِي أَنْتَ تَضْطَهِدُهُ، صَعْبٌ عَلَيْكَ أَنْ تَرْفُسَ الْمَنَاخِسَ». | ٥ |
6 But rise up, and enter into the city, and you will be told what you must do."
| فَقَالَ وَهُوَ مُرْتَعِدٌ وَمُتَحَيِّرٌ: «يَا رَبُّ مَاذَا تُرِيدُ أَنْ أَفْعَلَ؟» فَقَالَ لَهُ الرَّبُّ: «قُمْ، وَادْخُلِ الْمَدِينَةَ فَيُقَالَ لَكَ مَا يَجِبُ أَنْ تَفْعَلَهُ». | ٦ |
7 The men who traveled with him stood speechless, hearing the sound, but seeing no one.
| وَأَمَّا مُرَافِقُو شَاوُلَ فَوَقَفُوا مَذْهُولِينَ لَا يَنْطِقُونَ، فَقَدْ سَمِعُوا الصَّوْتَ وَلَكِنَّهُمْ لَمْ يَرَوْا أَحَداً. | ٧ |
8 Shaul arose from the ground, but when he opened his eyes he could not see anything. They led him by the hand, and brought him into Damascus.
| وَعِنْدَمَا نَهَضَ شَاوُلُ عَنِ الأَرْضِ، فَتَحَ عَيْنَيْهِ فَوَجَدَ أَنَّهُ لَا يُبْصِرُ، فَاقْتَادُوهُ بِيَدِهِ وَأَدْخَلُوهُ إِلَى دِمَشْقَ، | ٨ |
9 He was without sight for three days, and neither ate nor drank.
| حَيْثُ بَقِيَ ثَلاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ لَا يُبْصِرُ وَلا يَأْكُلُ وَلا يَشْرَبُ. | ٩ |
10 Now there was a certain disciple at Damascus named Khananya. The Lord said to him in a vision, "Khananya." And he said, "Look, it's me, Lord."
| وَكَانَ فِي دِمَشْقَ تِلْمِيذٌ لِلرَّبِّ اسْمُهُ حَنَانِيَّا، نَادَاهُ الرَّبُّ فِي رُؤْيَا: «يَا حَنَانِيَّا!» فَقَالَ: «لَبَّيْكَ يَا رَبُّ!» | ١٠ |
11 The Lord said to him, "Arise, and go to the street which is called Straight, and inquire in the house of Yehudah for one named Shaul, a man of Tarsus. For look, he is praying,
| فَقَالَ لَهُ الرَّبُّ: «اذْهَبْ إِلَى الشَّارِعِ الْمَعْرُوفِ بِالْمُسْتَقِيمِ وَاسْأَلْ فِي بَيْتِ يَهُوذَا، عَنْ رَجُلٍ مِنْ طَرْسُوسَ اسْمُهُ شَاوُلُ. إِنَّهُ يُصَلِّي هُنَاكَ الآنَ. | ١١ |
12 and in a vision he has seen a man named Khananya coming in, and laying his hands on him, that he might receive his sight."
| وَقَدْ رَأَى فِي رُؤْيَا رَجُلاً اسْمُهُ حَنَانِيَّا يَدْخُلُ إِلَيْهِ وَيَضَعُ يَدَهُ عَلَيْهِ، فَيُبْصِرُ». | ١٢ |
13 But Khananya answered, "Lord, I have heard from many about this man, how much evil he did to your saints at Urishlim.
| فَقَالَ حَنَانِيَّا لِلرَّبِّ: «وَلَكِنِّي، يَا رَبُّ، قَدْ سَمِعْتُ مِنْ كَثِيرِينَ بِالْفَظَائِعِ الَّتِي ارْتَكَبَهَا هَذَا الرَّجُلُ بِقِدِّيسِيكَ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ، | ١٣ |
14 Here he has authority from the chief priests to bind all who call on your name."
| وَقَدْ كَلَّفَهُ رُؤَسَاءُ الْكَهَنَةِ السُّلْطَةَ لِيُلْقِيَ الْقَبْضَ عَلَى كُلِّ مَنْ يَدْعُو بِاسْمِكَ». | ١٤ |
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 people of Israyel.
| فَأَمَرَهُ الرَّبُّ: «اذْهَبْ! فَقَدِ اخْتَرْتُ هَذَا الرَّجُلَ لِيَكُونَ إِنَاءً يَحْمِلُ اسْمِي إِلَى الأُمَمِ وَالْمُلُوكِ وَبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ. | ١٥ |
16 For I will show him how many things he must suffer for my name's sake."
| وَسَأُرِيهِ كَمْ يَنْبَغِي أَنْ يَتَأَلَّمَ مِنْ أَجْلِ اسْمِي!» | ١٦ |
17 Khananya departed, and entered into the house. Laying his hands on him, he said, "Brother Shaul, 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 Rukha d'Qudsha."
| 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 |
18 Immediately something like scales fell from his eyes, and he received his sight. He arose and was baptized.
| وَفِي الْحَالِ تَسَاقَطَ مِنْ عَيْنَيْ شَاوُلَ مَا يُشْبِهُ الْقُشُورَ، فَأَبْصَرَ، ثُمَّ قَامَ وَتَعَمَّدَ. | ١٨ |
19 He took food and was strengthened. He stayed several days with the disciples who were at Damascus.
| وَتَنَاوَلَ طَعَاماً فَاسْتَعَادَ قُوَّتَهُ وَبَقِيَ بِضْعَةَ أَيَّامٍ مَعَ التَّلامِيذِ فِي دِمَشْقَ. | ١٩ |
20 Immediately in the synagogues he proclaimed Yeshua, that he is the Son of God.
| وَفِي الْحَالِ بَدَأَ يُبَشِّرُ فِي الْمَجَامِعِ بِأَنَّ يَسُوعَ هُوَ ابْنُ اللهِ. | ٢٠ |
21 All who heard him were amazed, and said, "Is not this he who in Urishlim made havoc of those who called on this name? And he had come here intending to bring them bound before the chief priests."
| 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 |
22 But Shaul increased more in strength, and confounded the Jews who lived at Damascus, proving that this is the Meshikha.
| وَأَمَّا شَاوُلُ فَقَدْ صَارَ أَكْثَرَ حَمَاسَةً فِي وَعْظِهِ، فَكَانَ يُفْحِمُ الْيَهُودَ السَّاكِنِينَ فِي دِمَشْقَ بِبَرَاهِينِهِ الَّتيِ كَانَ يُبَيِّنُ بِها أَنَّ يَسُوعَ هُوَ الْمَسِيحُ. | ٢٢ |
23 When many days were fulfilled, the Jews conspired together to kill him,
| وَبَعْدَ عِدَّةِ أَيَّامٍ، حَاكَ الْيَهُودُ فِي دِمَشْقَ مُؤَامَرَةً لِقَتْلِ شَاوُلَ، | ٢٣ |
24 but their plot became known to Shaul. They watched the gates both day and night that they might kill him,
| فَعَلِمَ بِها. وَكَانُوا يُرَاقِبُونَ أَبْوَابَ الْمَدِينَةِ نَهَاراً وَلَيْلاً لِيَقْتُلُوهُ وَهُوَ يَخْرُجُ مِنْهَا. | ٢٤ |
25 but his disciples took him by night, and let him down through the wall, lowering him in a basket.
| فَأَخَذَهُ بَعْضُ التَّلامِيذِ لَيْلاً وَوَضَعُوهُ فِي سَلٍّ، وَأَنْزَلُوهُ بِالْحِبَالِ مِنْ عَلَى سُورِ الْمَدِينَةِ. | ٢٥ |
26 When Shaul had come to Urishlim, he tried to join himself to the disciples; but they were all afraid of him, not believing that he was a disciple.
| وَلَمَّا وَصَلَ شَاوُلُ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ، حَاوَلَ أَنْ يَنْضَمَّ إِلَى التَّلامِيذِ هُنَاكَ، فَخَافُوا مِنْهُ، إِذْ لَمْ يُصَدِّقُوا أَنَّهُ صَارَ تِلْمِيذاً لِلرَّبِّ. | ٢٦ |
27 But Bar-Naba took him, and brought him to the apostles, and declared to them how he had seen the Lord in the way, and that he had spoken to him, and how at Damascus he had preached boldly in the name of Yeshua.
| فَتَوَلَّى بَرْنَابَا أَمْرَهُ وَأَحْضَرَهُ إِلَى الرُّسُلِ، وَحَدَّثَهُمْ كَيْفَ ظَهَرَ الرَّبُّ لَهُ فِي الطَّرِيقِ وَكَلَّمَهُ، وَكَيْفَ بَشَّرَ بِجُرْأَةٍ بِاسْمِ يَسُوعَ فِي دِمَشْقَ. | ٢٧ |
28 He was with them coming in and going out in Urishlim, speaking boldly in the name of the Lord.
| فَأَخَذَ يَذْهَبُ وَيَجِيءُ مَعَهُمْ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ، مُبَشِّراً بِاسْمِ الرَّبِّ بِجُرْأَةٍ. | ٢٨ |
29 He spoke and disputed against the Hellenists, but they were seeking to kill him.
| وَكَانَ يُخَاطِبُ الْيَهُودَ الْيُونَانِيِّينَ وَيُجَادِلُهُمْ، فَحَاوَلُوا أَنْ يَقْتُلُوهُ. | ٢٩ |
30 When the brothers knew it, they brought him down to Qesarya, and sent him off to Tarsus.
| فَلَمَّا عَلِمَ الإِخْوَةُ بِذَلِكَ أَنْزَلُوهُ إِلَى مِينَاءِ قَيْصَرِيَّةَ. وَمِنْ هُنَاكَ أَرْسَلُوهُ إِلَى طَرْسُوسَ. | ٣٠ |
31 So the church throughout all Yehuda and Galila and Samaria had peace, and were built up. They were multiplied, walking in the fear of the Lord and in the comfort of the Rukha d'Qudsha.
| فِي أَثْنَاءِ ذَلِكَ كَانَتِ الْكَنِيسَةُ فِي مَنَاطِقِ الْيَهُودِيَّةِ وَالْجَلِيلِ وَالسَّامِرَةِ تَتَمَتَّعُ بِالسَّلامِ. وَكَانَتْ تَنْمُو وَتَسِيرُ فِي تَقْوَى الرَّبِّ، بِمُسَانَدَةِ الرُّوحِ الْقُدُسِ. | ٣١ |
32 It happened, as Kipha went throughout all those parts, he came down also to the saints who lived at Lud.
| وَبَيْنَمَا كَانَ بُطْرُسُ يَنْتَقِلُ مِنْ مَكَانٍ إِلَى مَكَانٍ، زَارَ السَّاكِنِينَ فِي مَدِينَةِ لُدَّةَ، | ٣٢ |
33 There he found a certain man named Aniyas, who had been bedridden for eight years, because he was paralyzed.
| وَوَجَدَ هُنَاكَ مَشْلُولاً اسْمُهُ إِينِيَاسُ، مَضَتْ عَلَيْهِ ثَمَانِي سَنَوَاتٍ وَهُوَ طَرِيحُ الْفِرَاشِ. | ٣٣ |
34 Kipha said to him, "Aniyas, Yeshua Meshikha heals you. Get up and make your bed." Immediately he arose.
| فَقَالَ لَهُ: «يَا إِينِيَاسُ، شَفَاكَ يَسُوعُ الْمَسِيحُ. قُمْ وَرَتِّبْ سَرِيرَكَ بِنَفْسِكَ!» فَقَامَ فِي الْحَالِ. | ٣٤ |
35 All who lived at Lud and in Sharon saw him, and they turned to the Lord.
| وَرَآهُ سُكَّانُ لُدَّةَ وَشَارُونَ جَمِيعاً، فَرَجَعُوا إِلَى الرَّبِّ. | ٣٥ |
36 Now there was at Yupi a certain disciple named Tabitha (which when translated, means Dorcas). This woman was full of good works and acts of mercy which she did.
| وَكَانَ فِي مَدِينَةِ يَافَا تِلْمِيذَةٌ اسْمُهَا طَابِيثَا، وَمَعْنَى اسْمِهَا: غَزَالَةُ، كَانَ يَشْغَلُهَا دَائِماً فِعْلُ الْخَيْرِ وَمُسَاعَدَةُ الْفُقَرَاءِ. | ٣٦ |
37 It happened in those days that she fell sick, and died. When they had washed her, they placed her in an upper chamber.
| وَحَدَثَ فِي ذَلِكَ الْوَقْتِ أَنَّهَا مَرِضَتْ وَمَاتَتْ، فَغَسَّلُوهَا وَوَضَعُوهَا فِي غُرْفَةٍ بِالطَّبَقَةِ الْعُلْيَا. | ٣٧ |
38 As Lud was near Yupi, the disciples, hearing that Kipha was there, sent two men to him, imploring him not to delay in coming to us.
| 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 |
39 Kipha got up and went with them. When he had come, they brought him into the upper chamber. All the widows stood by him weeping, and showing the coats and garments which Dorcas had made while she was with 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 |
40 Kipha put them all out, and kneeled down and prayed. Turning to the body, he said, "Tabitha, get up." She opened her eyes, and when she saw Kipha, she sat up.
| 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 |
41 He gave her his hand, and raised her up. Calling the saints and widows, he presented her alive.
| فَمَدَّ يَدَهُ إِلَيْهَا وَسَاعَدَهَا عَلَى النُّهُوضِ، ثُمَّ دَعَا الْقِدِّيسِينَ وَالأَرَامِلَ، وَرَدَّهَا إِلَيْهِمْ حَيَّةً. | ٤١ |
42 And it became known throughout all Yupi, and many believed in the Lord.
| وَانْتَشَرَ خَبَرُ هَذِهِ الْمُعْجِزَةِ فِي يَافَا كُلِّهَا، فَآمَنَ بِالرَّبِّ كَثِيرُونَ. | ٤٢ |
43 It happened, that he stayed many days in Yupi with one Shimon, a tanner.
| وَبَقِيَ بُطْرُسُ فِي يَافَا عِدَّةَ أَيَّامٍ عِنْدَ دَبَّاغٍ اسْمُهُ سِمْعَانُ. | ٤٣ |
