< Acts 1 >

1 The first account I wrote, Theophilus, concerned all that Jesus began both to do and to teach,
رَوَيْتُ لَكَ فِي كِتَابِي الأَوَّلِ، يَا ثَاوُفِيلُسُ، جَمِيعَ أَعْمَالِ يَسُوعَ وَتَعَالِيمِهِ، مُنْذُ بَدْءِ رِسَالَتِهِ١
2 until the day in which he was received up, after he had given commandment through the Holy Spirit to the apostles whom he had chosen.
حَتَّى الْيَوْمِ الَّذِي ارْتَفَعَ فِيهِ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ، بَعْدَمَا قَدَّمَ وَصَايَاهُ، بِالرُّوحِ الْقُدُسِ، إِلَى الرُّسُلِ الَّذِينَ اخْتَارَهُمْ.٢
3 To these he also showed himself alive after he suffered, by many proofs, appearing to them over a period of forty days, and speaking about God's Kingdom.
وَخِلالَ فَتْرَةِ أَرْبَعِينَ يَوْماً بَعْدَ آلامِهِ، ظَهَرَ لَهُمْ مَرَّاتٍ عَدِيدَةً، وَأَثْبَتَ لَهُمْ أَنَّهُ حَيٌّ بِبَرَاهِينَ كَثِيرَةٍ قَاطِعَةٍ، وَحَدَّثَهُمْ عَنْ مَلَكُوتِ اللهِ.٣
4 Being assembled together with them, he commanded them, "Do not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which you heard from me.
وَبَيْنَمَا كَانَ مُجْتَمِعاً مَعَهُمْ، قَالَ: «لا تَتْرُكُوا أُورُشَلِيمَ، بَلِ ابْقَوْا فِيهَا مُنْتَظِرِينَ إِتْمَامَ وَعْدِ الآبِ، الَّذِي سَبَقَ أَنْ حَدَّثْتُكُمْ عَنْهُ.٤
5 For John indeed baptized in water, but you will be baptized in the Holy Spirit not many days from now."
فَإِنَّ يُوحَنَّا عَمَّدَ النَّاسَ بِالْمَاءِ؛ أَمَّا أَنْتُمْ فَسَتَتَعَمَّدُونَ بَعْدَ أَيَّامٍ قَلِيلَةٍ بِالرُّوحِ الْقُدُسِ!»٥
6 Therefore, when they had come together, they asked him, "Lord, are you now restoring the kingdom to Israel?"
وَقَدْ سَأَلَهُ الْمُجْتَمِعُونَ: «يَا رَبُّ، أَفِي هَذَا الْوَقْتِ تُعِيدُ الْمُلْكَ إِلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ؟»٦
7 He said to them, "It is not for you to know times or seasons which the Father has set within his own authority.
فَأَجَابَهُمْ: «لَيْسَ لَكُمْ أَنْ تَعْرِفُوا الْمَوَاعِيدَ وَالأَوْقَاتَ الَّتِي حَدَّدَهَا الآبُ بِسُلْطَتِهِ.٧
8 But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you. You will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, in all Judea and Samaria, and to the farthest part of the earth."
وَلَكِنْ حِينَمَا يَحُلُّ الرُّوحُ الْقُدُسُ عَلَيْكُمْ تَنَالُونَ الْقُوَّةَ، وَتَكُونُونَ لِي شُهُوداً فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ وَالْيَهُودِيَّةِ كُلِّهَا، وَفِي السَّامِرَةِ، وَإِلَى أَقَاصِي الأَرْضِ».٨
9 When he had said these things, as they were looking, he was taken up, and a cloud took him out of their sight.
قَالَ هَذَا وَارْتَفَعَ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ وَهُمْ يَنْظُرُونَهُ. ثُمَّ حَجَبَتْهُ سَحَابَةٌ عَنْ أَنْظَارِهِمْ.٩
10 While they were looking steadfastly into the sky as he went, look, two men stood by them in white clothing,
وَبَيْنَمَا هُمْ يُحَدِّقُونَ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ وَهُوَ يَنْطَلِقُ إِلَيْهَا، إِذَا رَجُلانِ قَدْ ظَهَرَا لَهُمْ بِثِيَابٍ بِيضٍ،١٠
11 who also said, "You men of Galilee, why do you stand looking into the sky? This Jesus, who was received up from you into the sky will come back in the same way as you saw him going into the sky."
وَقَالا لَهُمْ: «أَيُّهَا الْجَلِيلِيُّونَ، لِمَاذَا تَقِفُونَ نَاظِرِينَ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ؟ إِنَّ يَسُوعَ، هَذَا الَّذِي ارْتَفَعَ عَنْكُمْ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ، سَيَعُودُ مِنْهَا مِثْلَمَا رَأَيْتُمُوهُ مُنْطَلِقاً إِلَيْهَا!»١١
12 Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mountain called Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, a Sabbath day's journey away.
ثُمَّ رَجَعَ الرُّسُلُ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ مِنَ الْجَبَلِ الْمَعْرُوفِ بِجَبَلِ الزَّيْتُونِ، وَهُوَ بِالْقُرْبِ مِنْ أُورُشَلِيمَ عَلَى مَسَافَةٍ يَجُوزُ قَطْعُهَا يَوْمَ السَّبْتِ.١٢
13 When they had come in, they went up into the upper room, where they were staying; that is Peter, John, James, Andrew, Philip, Thomas, Bartholomew, Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus, Simon the Zealot, and Judas the son of James.
وَلَمَّا وَصَلُوا صَعِدُوا إِلَى غُرْفَةٍ فِي الطَّبَقَةِ الْعُلْيَا كَانُوا يُقِيمُونَ فِيهَا، وَهُمْ: بُطْرُسُ وَيُوحَنَّا، وَيَعْقُوبُ وَأَنْدَرَاوُسُ، وَفِيلِبُّسُ وَتُومَا، وَبَرْثَلَمَاوُسُ وَمَتَّى، وَيَعْقُوبُ بْنُ حَلْفَى وَسِمْعَانُ الْغَيُورُ، وَيَهُوذَا أَخُو يَعْقُوبَ.١٣
14 All these with one accord continued steadfastly in prayer, along with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brothers.
وَكَانُوا جَمِيعاً يُدَاوِمُونَ عَلَى الصَّلاةِ بِقَلْبٍ وَاحِدٍ، وَمَعَهُمْ بَعْضُ النِّسَاءِ، وَمَرْيَمُ أُمُّ يَسُوعَ، وَإخْوَتُهُ.١٤
15 In these days, Peter stood up in the midst of the brothers (and the number of names was about one hundred twenty), and said,
وَكَانَ قَدِ اجْتَمَعَ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ نَحْوَ مِئَةٍ وَعِشْرِينَ مِنَ الإِخْوَةِ فَوَقَفَ بُطْرُسُ بَيْنَهُمْ وَخَاطَبَهُمْ قَائِلاً:١٥
16 "Brothers, it was necessary that this Scripture should be fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit spoke before by the mouth of David concerning Judas, who was guide to those who took Jesus.
«أَيُّهَا الإِخْوَةُ، كَانَ لابُدَّ مِنْ أَنْ تَتِمَّ النُّبُوءَةُ الَّتِي قَالَهَا الرُّوحُ الْقُدُسُ بِلِسَانِ النَّبِيِّ دَاوُدَ، عَنْ يَهُوذَا الَّذِي انْقَلَبَ دَلِيلاً لِلَّذِينَ قَبَضُوا عَلَى يَسُوعَ.١٦
17 For he was numbered with us, and received his portion in this ministry.
وَكَانَ يَهُوذَا يُعْتَبَرُ وَاحِداً مِنَّا، وَقَدْ شَارَكَنَا فِي خِدْمَتِنَا.١٧
18 Now this man obtained a field with the reward for his wickedness, and falling headfirst his body burst open, and all his intestines gushed out.
ثُمَّ إِنَّهُ اشْتَرَى حَقْلاً بِالْمَالِ الَّذِي تَقَاضَاهُ ثَمَناً لِلْخِيَانَةِ، وَفِيهِ وَقَعَ عَلَى وَجْهِهِ، فَانْشَقَّ مِنْ وَسَطِهِ وَانْدَلَقَتْ أَمْعَاؤُهُ كُلُّهَا.١٨
19 It became known to everyone who lived in Jerusalem that in their language that field was called 'Hakel-Dema,' that is, 'The field of blood.'
وَعَلِمَ أَهْلُ أُورُشَلِيمَ جَمِيعاً بِهَذِهِ الْحَادِثَةِ، فَأَطْلَقُوا عَلَى حَقْلِهِ اسْمَ’حَقَلْ دَمَخْ‘بِلُغَتِهِمْ، أَيْ حَقْلَ الدَّمِ.١٩
20 For it is written in the scroll of Psalms, 'Let his habitation be made desolate, and let no one dwell in it;' and, 'Let another take his office.'
فَتَمَّتِ النُّبُوءَةُ الْوَارِدَةُ فِي كِتَابِ الْمَزَامِيرِ: لِتَصِرْ دَارُهُ خَرَاباً، وَلا يَسْكُنْهَا سَاكِنٌ. وَأَيْضاً: لِيَسْتَلِمْ وَظِيفَتَهُ آخَرُ!٢٠
21 "Of the men therefore who have accompanied us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us,
فَعَلَيْنَا إِذَنْ أَنْ نَخْتَارَ وَاحِداً مِنَ الرِّجَالِ الَّذِينَ رَافَقُونَا طَوَالَ الْمُدَّةِ الَّتِي قَضَاهَا الرَّبُّ يَسُوعُ مَعَنَا،٢١
22 beginning from the baptism of John, to the day that he was received up from us, of these one must become a witness with us of his resurrection."
مُنْذُ أَنْ عَمَّدَهُ يُوحَنَّا إِلَى يَوْمِ ارْتِفَاعِهِ عَنَّا إِلَى السَّمَاءِ، لِيَكُونَ مَعَنَا شَاهِداً بِقِيَامَةِ يَسُوعَ».٢٢
23 They put forward two, Joseph called Barsabbas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias.
فَرَشَّحَ الْحَاضِرُونَ رَجُلَيْنِ هُمَا: يُوسُفُ الَّذِي يُدْعَى بَارْسَابَا وَيُلَقَّبُ بِيُسْتُسَ، وَمَتِّيَاسُ.٢٣
24 They prayed, and said, "You, Lord, who know the hearts of all people, show which one of these two you have chosen
ثُمَّ صَلَّوْا قَائِلِينَ: «أَيُّهَا الرَّبُّ الْعَارِفُ قُلُوبَ النَّاسِ جَمِيعاً، بَيِّنْ لَنَا أَيَّ هَذَيْنِ الرَّجُلَيْنِ تَخْتَارُ٢٤
25 to take part in this ministry and office of apostle from which Judas turned away to go to his own place."
لِيُشَارِكَنَا فِي الْخِدْمَةِ وَالرِّسَالَةِ بَدَلاً مِنْ يَهُوذَا الَّذِي ذَهَبَ إِلَى الْمَكَانِ الَّذِي يَسْتَحِقُّهُ».٢٥
26 They drew lots for them, and the lot fell on Matthias, and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.
ثُمَّ أَلْقَوْا الْقُرْعَةَ، فَوَقَعَتْ عَلَى مَتِّيَاسَ، فَضَمُّوهُ إِلَى الرُّسُلِ الأَحَدَ عَشَرَ.٢٦
