< Acts 12 >

1 And in the same tyme Eroude the king sente power, to turmente sum men of the chirche.
فِي ذَلِكَ الْوَقْتِ بَدَأَ الْمَلِكُ هِيرُودُسُ يَضْطَهِدُ بَعْضَ أَفْرَادِ الْكَنِيسَةِ،١
2 And he slowe bi swerd James, the brothir of Joon.
فَقَتَلَ يَعْقُوبَ شَقِيقَ يُوحَنَّا بِالسَّيْفِ.٢
3 And he siy that it pleside to Jewis, and keste to take also Petre; and the daies of therf looues weren.
وَلَمَّا رَأَى أَنَّ هَذَا يُرْضِي الْيَهُودَ، قَرَّرَ أَنْ يَقْبِضَ عَلَى بُطْرُسَ أَيْضاً، وَكَانَ ذَلِكَ فِي أَيَّامِ عِيدِ الْفَطِيرِ.٣
4 And whanne he hadde cauyte Petre, he sente hym in to prisoun; and bitook to foure quaternyouns of knyytis, to kepe hym, and wolde aftir pask bringe hym forth to the puple.
فَلَمَّا قَبَضَ عَلَيْهِ، أَوْدَعَهُ السِّجْنَ تَحْتَ حِرَاسَةِ أَرْبَعِ مَجْمُوعَاتٍ مِنَ الْحُرَّاسِ، تَتَكَوَّنُ كُلُّ مَجْمُوعَةٍ مِنْهَا مِنْ أَرْبَعَةِ جُنُودٍ. وَكَانَ يَنْوِي أَنْ يُسَلِّمَهُ إِلَى الْيَهُودِ بَعْدَ عِيدِ الْفِصْحِ،٤
5 And Petre was kept in prisoun; but preier was maad of the chirche with out ceessing to God for hym.
فَأَبْقَاهُ فِي السِّجْنِ. أَمَّا الْكَنِيسَةُ فَكَانَتْ تَرْفَعُ الصَّلاةَ الْحَارَّةَ إِلَى اللهِ مِنْ أَجْلِهِ.٥
6 But whanne Eroude schulde bringe hym forth, in that nyyt Petre was slepinge bitwixe twei knyytis, and was boundun with twei cheynes; and the keperis bifor the dore kepten the prisoun.
وَفِي اللَّيْلَةِ الَّتِي كَانَ هِيرُودُسُ قَدْ نَوَى أَنْ يُسَلِّمَ بُطْرُسَ بَعْدَهَا، كَانَ بُطْرُسُ نَائِماً بَيْنَ جُنْدِيَّيْنِ، مُقَيَّداً بِسِلْسِلَتَيْنِ، وَأَمَامَ الْبَابِ جُنُودٌ يَحْرُسُونَ السِّجْنَ.٦
7 And lo! an aungel of the Lord stoode nyy, and liyt schoon in the prisoun hous. And whanne he hadde smyte the side of Petre, he reiside hym, and seide, Rise thou swiftli. And anoon the cheynes felden doun fro hise hoondis.
وَفَجْأَةً حَضَرَ مَلاكٌ مِنْ عِنْدِ الرَّبِّ، فَامْتَلأَتْ غُرْفَةُ السِّجْنِ نُوراً. وَضَرَبَ الْمَلاكُ بُطْرُسَ عَلَى جَنْبِهِ وَأَيْقَظَهُ وَقَالَ: «قُمْ سَرِيعاً!» فَسَقَطَتِ السِّلْسِلَتَانِ مِنْ يَدَيْهِ.٧
8 And the aungel seide to hym, Girde thee, and do on thin hoosis. And he dide so. And he seide to hym, Do aboute thee thi clothis, and sue me.
فَقَالَ لَهُ الْمَلاكُ: «شُدَّ حِزَامَكَ، وَالْبَسْ حِذَاءَكَ!» فَفَعَلَ. ثُمَّ قَالَ لَهُ: «الْبَسْ رِدَاءَكَ وَاتْبَعْنِي!»٨
9 And he yede out, and suede hym; and he wiste not that it was soth, that was don bi the aungel; for he gesside hym silf to haue sey a visioun.
فَخَرَجَ بُطْرُسُ يَتْبَعُ الْمَلاكَ وَهُوَ يَظُنُّ أَنَّهُ يَرَى رُؤْيَا، وَلا يَدْرِي أَنَّ مَا يَجْرِي عَلَى يَدِ الْمَلاكِ أَمْرٌ حَقِيقِيٌّ.٩
10 And thei passiden the first and the secounde warde, and camen to the iren yate that ledith to the citee, which anoon was opened to hem. And thei yeden out, and camen in to o street, and anoon the aungel passide awei fro hym.
وَاجْتَازَا نُقْطَةَ الْحِرَاسَةِ الأُولَى ثُمَّ الثَّانِيَةَ. وَلَمَّا وَصَلا إِلَى بَابِ السِّجْنِ الْحَدِيدِيِّ الَّذِي يُؤَدِّي إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ انْفَتَحَ لَهُمَا مِنْ ذَاتِهِ، فَخَرَجَا. وَبَعْدَمَا عَبَرَا شَارِعاً وَاحِداً، فَارَقَهُ الْمَلاكُ حَالاً.١٠
11 And Petre turnede ayen to hym silf, and seide, Now Y woot verili, that the Lord sente his aungel, `and delyueride me fro the hoond of Eroude, and fro al the abiding of the puple of Jewis.
عِنْدَئِذٍ اسْتَعَادَ بُطْرُسُ وَعْيَهُ، فَهَتَفَ: «الآنَ أَيْقَنْتُ أَنَّ الرَّبَّ أَرْسَلَ مَلاكَهُ فَأَنْقَذَنِي مِنْ قَبْضَةِ هِيرُودُسَ، وَمِنْ تَوَقُّعَاتِ شَعْبِ الْيَهُودِ!»١١
12 And he bihelde, and cam to the hous of Marie, modir of Joon, that is named Marcus, where many weren gaderid togidre, and preiynge.
وَإِذْ أَدْرَكَ ذَلِكَ، اتَّجَهَ إِلَى بَيْتِ مَرْيَمَ أُمِّ يُوحَنَّا الْمُلَقَّبِ مَرْقُسَ، حَيْثُ كَانَ عَدَدٌ كَبِيرٌ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ مُجْتَمِعِينَ يُصَلُّونَ.١٢
13 And whanne he knockid at the dore of the yate, a damysel, Rode bi name, cam forth to se.
وَلَمَّا وَصَلَ قَرَعَ الْبَابَ الْخَارِجِيَّ، فَجَاءَتْ خَادِمَةٌ اسْمُهَا رَوْدَا لِتَتَسَمَّعَ.١٣
14 And whanne sche knewe the vois of Petre, for ioye sche openyde not the yate, but ran in, and telde, that Petre stood at the yate.
فَلَمَّا عَرَفَتْ صَوْتَ بُطْرُسَ لَمْ تَفْتَحْ لِشِدَّةِ الْفَرَحِ، بَلْ أَسْرَعَتْ إِلَى دَاخِلِ الْبَيْتِ تُبَشِّرُ الْحَاضِرِينَ بِأَنَّ بُطْرُسَ بِالْبَابِ.١٤
15 And thei seiden `to hir, Thou maddist. But sche affermyde, that it was so. And thei seiden, It is his aungel.
فَقَالُوا لَهَا: «أَنْتِ تَهْذِينَ!» وَلَكِنَّهَا أَكَّدَتْ لَهُمُ الْخَبَرَ، فَقَالُوا: «لَعَلَّهُ مَلاكُ بُطْرُسَ!»١٥
16 But Petre abood stille, and knockide. And whanne thei hadden opened the dore, thei sayen hym, and wondriden.
أَمَّا بُطْرُسُ فَوَاصَلَ قَرْعَ الْبَابِ حَتَّى فَتَحُوا لَهُ. فَلَمَّا رَأَوْهُ اسْتَوْلَتْ عَلَيْهِمِ الدَّهْشَةُ!١٦
17 And he bekenyde to hem with his hoond to be stille, and telde hou the Lord hadde led hym out of the prisoun. And he seide, Telle ye to James and to the britheren these thingis. And he yede out, and wente in to an othere place.
فَأَشَارَ بِيَدِهِ أَنْ يَسْكُتُوا، وَحَدَّثَهُمْ كَيْفَ أَخْرَجَهُ الرَّبُّ مِنَ السِّجْنِ، وَقَالَ: «أَخْبِرُوا يَعْقُوبَ وَالإِخْوَةَ بِهَذَا». ثُمَّ خَرَجَ وَذَهَبَ إِلَى مَكَانٍ آخَرَ.١٧
18 And whanne the dai was come, ther was not lytil troubling among the knyytis, what was don of Petre.
وَلَمَّا طَلَعَ الصَّبَاحُ حَدَثَتْ بَلْبَلَةٌ عَظِيمَةٌ بَيْنَ الْجُنُودِ، وَأَخَذُوا يَتَسَاءَلُونَ: «مَا الَّذِي جَرَى لِبُطْرُسَ؟»١٨
19 And whanne Eroude hadde souyt hym, and foonde not, aftir that he hadde made enqueryng of the keperis, he comaundide hem to be brouyt to hym. And he cam doun fro Judee in to Cesarie, and dwellide there.
وَلَمَّا أَمَرَ هِيرُودُسُ بِاسْتِدْعَائِهِ وَلَمْ يَجِدْهُ، أَجْرَى تَحْقِيقاً مَعَ الْحُرَّاسِ، وَأَمَرَ بِإِعْدَامِهِمْ. ثُمَّ انْتَقَلَ هِيرُودُسُ مِنْ مِنْطَقَةِ الْيَهُودِيَّةِ إِلَى قَيْصَرِيَّةَ، وَأَقَامَ فِيهَا.١٩
20 And he was wroth to men of Tyre and of Sidon. And thei of oon acord camen to hym, whanne thei hadden counseilid with Bastus, that was the kingis chaumbirleyn, thei axiden pees, for as myche that her cuntrees weren vitailid of hym.
وَكَانَ نَاقِماً عَلَى أَهْلِ صُورَ وَصَيْدَا. فَاتَّفَقُوا وَأَرْسَلُوا وَفْداً مِنْهُمْ يَسْتَعْطِفُونَ بَلاسْتُسَ حَاجِبَ الْمَلِكِ طَالِبِينَ الأَمَانَ، لأَنَّ مِنْطَقَتَهُمْ كَانَتْ تَكْسَبُ رِزْقَهَا مِنْ مَمْلَكَةِ هِيرُودُسَ.٢٠
21 And in a dai that was ordeyned, Eroude was clothid with kyngis clothing, and sat for domesman, and spak to hem.
وَفِي الْيَوْمِ الْمُعَيَّنِ لِمُقَابَلَةِ الْوَفْدِ، ارْتَدَى هِيرُودُسُ ثَوْبَهُ الْمُلُوكِيَّ، وَجَلَسَ عَلَى عَرْشِهِ يُخَاطِبُهُمْ.٢١
22 And the puple criede, The voicis of God, and not of man.
فَهَتَفَ الشَّعْبُ قَائِلِينَ: «هَذَا صَوْتُ إِلَهٍ لَا صَوْتُ إِنْسَانٍ!»٢٢
23 And anoon an aungel of the Lord smoot hym, for he hadde not youun onour to God; and he was wastid of wormes, and diede.
فَضَرَبَهُ مَلاكٌ مِنْ عِنْدِ الرَّبِّ فِي الْحَالِ لأَنَّهُ لَمْ يُعْطِ الْمَجْدَ لِلهِ، فَأَكَلَهُ الدُّودُ وَمَاتَ!٢٣
24 And the word of the Lord waxide, and was multiplied.
أَمَّا كَلِمَةُ الرَّبِّ فَكَانَتْ تَنْمُو وَتَزْدَادُ انْتِشَاراً.٢٤
25 And Barnabas and Saul turneden ayen fro Jerusalem, whanne the mynystrie was fillid, and token Joon, that was named Marcus.
وَكَانَ بَرْنَابَا وَشَاوُلُ قَدْ أَنْجَزَا الْمُهِمَّةَ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ، فَرَجَعَا إِلَى أَنْطَاكِيَةَ وَمَعَهُمَا يُوحَنَّا الْمُلَقَّبُ مَرْقُسَ.٢٥
