< أعمال 10 >

وَكَانَ فِي قَيْصَرِيَّةَ رَجُلٌ ٱسْمُهُ كَرْنِيلِيُوسُ، قَائِدُ مِئَةٍ مِنَ ٱلْكَتِيبَةِ ٱلَّتِي تُدْعَى ٱلْإِيطَالِيَّةَ. ١ 1
And there was a certain man in Caesarea, by name Cornelius, a centurion from a cohort that is called Italian,
وَهُوَ تَقِيٌّ وَخَائِفُ ٱللهِ مَعَ جَمِيعِ بَيْتِهِ، يَصْنَعُ حَسَنَاتٍ كَثِيرَةً لِلشَّعْبِ، وَيُصَلِّي إِلَى ٱللهِ فِي كُلِّ حِينٍ. ٢ 2
pious, and fearing God with all his house, also doing many kind acts to the people, and always imploring God;
فَرَأَى ظَاهِرًا فِي رُؤْيَا نَحْوَ ٱلسَّاعَةِ ٱلتَّاسِعَةِ مِنَ ٱلنَّهَارِ، مَلَاكًا مِنَ ٱللهِ دَاخِلًا إِلَيْهِ وَقَائِلًا لَهُ: «يَا كَرْنِيلِيُوسُ!». ٣ 3
he saw in a vision openly, as it were the ninth hour of the day, a messenger of God coming in to him, and saying to him, “Cornelius”;
فَلَمَّا شَخَصَ إِلَيْهِ وَدَخَلَهُ ٱلْخَوْفُ، قَالَ: «مَاذَا يَا سَيِّدُ؟».فَقَالَ لَهُ: «صَلَوَاتُكَ وَصَدَقَاتُكَ صَعِدَتْ تَذْكَارًا أَمَامَ ٱللهِ. ٤ 4
and he having looked earnestly on him, and becoming afraid, said, “What is it, Lord?” And he said to him, “Your prayers and your kind acts came up for a memorial before God,
وَٱلْآنَ أَرْسِلْ إِلَى يَافَا رِجَالًا وَٱسْتَدْعِ سِمْعَانَ ٱلْمُلَقَّبَ بُطْرُسَ. ٥ 5
and now send men to Joppa, and send for a certain one Simon, who is surnamed Peter;
إِنَّهُ نَازِلٌ عِنْدَ سِمْعَانَ رَجُلٍ دَبَّاغٍ بَيْتُهُ عِنْدَ ٱلْبَحْرِ. هُوَ يَقُولُ لَكَ مَاذَا يَنْبَغِي أَنْ تَفْعَلَ». ٦ 6
this one lodges with a certain Simon a tanner, whose house is by the sea; this one will speak to you what you must do.”
فَلَمَّا ٱنْطَلَقَ ٱلْمَلَاكُ ٱلَّذِي كَانَ يُكَلِّمُ كَرْنِيلِيُوسَ، نَادَى ٱثْنَيْنِ مِنْ خُدَّامِهِ، وَعَسْكَرِيًّا تَقِيًّا مِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَانُوا يُلَازِمُونَهُ، ٧ 7
And when the messenger who is speaking to Cornelius went away, having called two of his servants, and a pious soldier of those waiting on him continually,
وَأَخْبَرَهُمْ بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ وَأَرْسَلَهُمْ إِلَى يَافَا. ٨ 8
and having expounded all things to them, he sent them to Joppa.
ثُمَّ فِي ٱلْغَدِ فِيمَا هُمْ يُسَافِرُونَ وَيَقْتَرِبُونَ إِلَى ٱلْمَدِينَةِ، صَعِدَ بُطْرُسُ عَلَى ٱلسَّطْحِ لِيُصَلِّيَ نَحْوَ ٱلسَّاعَةِ ٱلسَّادِسَةِ. ٩ 9
And on the next day, as these are proceeding on the way, and are drawing near to the city, Peter went up on the housetop to pray, about the sixth hour,
فَجَاعَ كَثِيرًا وَٱشْتَهَى أَنْ يَأْكُلَ. وَبَيْنَمَا هُمْ يُهَيِّئُونَ لَهُ، وَقَعَتْ عَلَيْهِ غَيْبَةٌ، ١٠ 10
and he became very hungry, and wished to eat; and they making ready, there fell on him a trance,
فَرَأَى ٱلسَّمَاءَ مَفْتُوحَةً، وَإِنَاءً نَازِلًا عَلَيْهِ مِثْلَ مُلَاءَةٍ عَظِيمَةٍ مَرْبُوطَةٍ بِأَرْبَعَةِ أَطْرَافٍ وَمُدَلَّاةٍ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ. ١١ 11
and he beholds Heaven opened, and a certain vessel descending to him, as a great sheet, bound at the four corners, and let down on the earth,
وَكَانَ فِيهَا كُلُّ دَوَابِّ ٱلْأَرْضِ وَٱلْوُحُوشِ وَٱلزَّحَّافَاتِ وَطُيُورِ ٱلسَّمَاءِ. ١٢ 12
in which were all the four-footed beasts of the earth, and the wild beasts, and the creeping things, and the birds of the sky,
وَصَارَ إِلَيْهِ صَوْتٌ: «قُمْ يَا بُطْرُسُ، ٱذْبَحْ وَكُلْ». ١٣ 13
and there came a voice to him: “Having risen, Peter, slay and eat.”
فَقَالَ بُطْرُسُ: «كَلَّا يَارَبُّ! لِأَنِّي لَمْ آكُلْ قَطُّ شَيْئًا دَنِسًا أَوْ نَجِسًا». ١٤ 14
And Peter said, “Not so, Lord; because at no time did I eat anything common or unclean”;
فَصَارَ إِلَيْهِ أَيْضًا صَوْتٌ ثَانِيَةً: «مَا طَهَّرَهُ ٱللهُ لَا تُدَنِّسْهُ أَنْتَ!». ١٥ 15
and [there is] a voice again a second time to him: “What God cleansed, you do not declare common”;
وَكَانَ هَذَا عَلَى ثَلَاثِ مَرَّاتٍ، ثُمَّ ٱرْتَفَعَ ٱلْإِنَاءُ أَيْضًا إِلَى ٱلسَّمَاءِ. ١٦ 16
and this was done three times, and again was the vessel received up to Heaven.
وَإِذْ كَانَ بُطْرُسُ يَرْتَابُ فِي نَفْسِهِ: مَاذَا عَسَى أَنْ تَكُونَ ٱلرُّؤْيَا ٱلَّتِي رَآهَا؟ إِذَا ٱلرِّجَالُ ٱلَّذِينَ أُرْسِلُوا مِنْ قِبَلِ كَرْنِيلِيُوسَ، وكَانُوا قَدْ سَأَلُوا عَنْ بَيْتِ سِمْعَانَ وَقَدْ وَقَفُوا عَلَى ٱلْبَابِ ١٧ 17
And as Peter was perplexed in himself what the vision that he saw might be, then, behold, the men who have been sent from Cornelius, having made inquiry for the house of Simon, stood at the gate,
وَنَادَوْا يَسْتَخْبِرُونَ: «هَلْ سِمْعَانُ ٱلْمُلَقَّبُ بُطْرُسَ نَازِلٌ هُنَاكَ؟». ١٨ 18
and having called, they were asking if Simon, who is surnamed Peter, lodges here.
وَبَيْنَمَا بُطْرُسُ مُتَفَكِّرٌ فِي ٱلرُّؤْيَا، قَالَ لَهُ ٱلرُّوحُ: «هُوَذَا ثَلَاثَةُ رِجَالٍ يَطْلُبُونَكَ. ١٩ 19
And Peter thinking about the vision, the Spirit said to him, “Behold, three men seek you;
لَكِنْ قُمْ وَٱنْزِلْ وَٱذْهَبْ مَعَهُمْ غَيْرَ مُرْتَابٍ فِي شَيْءٍ، لِأَنِّي أَنَا قَدْ أَرْسَلْتُهُمْ». ٢٠ 20
but having risen, go down and go on with them, doubting nothing, because I have sent them”;
فَنَزَلَ بُطْرُسُ إِلَى ٱلرِّجَالِ ٱلَّذِينَ أُرْسِلُوا إِلَيْهِ مِنْ قِبَلِ كَرْنِيلِيُوسَ، وَقَالَ: «هَا أَنَا ٱلَّذِي تَطْلُبُونَهُ. مَاهُوَ ٱلسَّبَبُ ٱلَّذِي حَضَرْتُمْ لِأَجْلِهِ؟». ٢١ 21
and Peter having come down to the men who have been sent from Cornelius to him, said, “Behold, I am he whom you seek, what [is] the cause for which you are present?”
فَقَالُوا: «إِنَّ كَرْنِيلِيُوسَ قَائِدَ مِئَةٍ، رَجُلًا بَارًّا وَخَائِفَ ٱللهِ وَمَشْهُودًا لَهُ مِنْ كُلِّ أُمَّةِ ٱلْيَهُودِ، أُوحِيَ إِلَيْهِ بِمَلَاكٍ مُقَدَّسٍ أَنْ يَسْتَدْعِيَكَ إِلَى بَيْتِهِ وَيَسْمَعَ مِنْكَ كَلَامًا». ٢٢ 22
And they said, “Cornelius, a centurion, a man righteous and fearing God, well testified to, also, by all the nation of the Jews, was divinely warned by a holy messenger to send for you, to his house, and to hear sayings from you.”
فَدَعَاهُمْ إِلَى دَاخِلٍ وَأَضَافَهُمْ. ثُمَّ فِي ٱلْغَدِ خَرَجَ بُطْرُسُ مَعَهُمْ، وَأُنَاسٌ مِنَ ٱلْإِخْوَةِ ٱلَّذِينَ مِنْ يَافَا رَافَقُوهُ. ٢٣ 23
Having called them in, therefore, he lodged them, and on the next day Peter went forth with them, and certain of the brothers from Joppa went with him,
وَفِي ٱلْغَدِ دَخَلُوا قَيْصَرِيَّةَ. وَأَمَّا كَرْنِيلِيُوسُ فَكَانَ يَنْتَظِرُهُمْ، وَقَدْ دَعَا أَنْسِبَاءَهُ وَأَصْدِقَاءَهُ ٱلْأَقْرَبِينَ. ٢٤ 24
and on the next day they entered into Caesarea; and Cornelius was waiting for them, having called together his relatives and near friends,
وَلَمَّا دَخَلَ بُطْرُسُ ٱسْتَقْبَلَهُ كَرْنِيلِيُوسُ وَسَجَدَ وَاقِعًا عَلَى قَدَمَيْهِ. ٢٥ 25
and as it came that Peter entered in, Cornelius having met him, having fallen at [his] feet, worshiped [him];
فَأَقَامَهُ بُطْرُسُ قَائِلًا: «قُمْ، أَنَا أَيْضًا إِنْسَانٌ». ٢٦ 26
and Peter raised him, saying, “Stand up; I am also a man myself”;
ثُمَّ دَخَلَ وَهُوَ يَتَكَلَّمُ مَعَهُ وَوَجَدَ كَثِيرِينَ مُجْتَمِعِينَ. ٢٧ 27
and talking with him he went in, and finds many having come together.
فَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «أَنْتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ كَيْفَ هُوَ مُحَرَّمٌ عَلَى رَجُلٍ يَهُودِيٍّ أَنْ يَلْتَصِقَ بِأَحَدٍ أَجْنَبِيٍّ أَوْ يَأْتِيَ إِلَيْهِ. وَأَمَّا أَنَا فَقَدْ أَرَانِي ٱللهُ أَنْ لَا أَقُولَ عَنْ إِنْسَانٍ مَا إِنَّهُ دَنِسٌ أَوْ نَجِسٌ. ٢٨ 28
And he said to them, “You know how it is unlawful for a man, a Jew, to keep company with, or to come to, one of another race, but God showed to me to call no man common or unclean;
فَلِذَلِكَ جِئْتُ مِنْ دُونِ مُنَاقَضَةٍ إِذِ ٱسْتَدْعَيْتُمُونِي. فَأَسْتَخْبِرُكُمْ: لِأَيِّ سَبَبٍ ٱسْتَدْعَيْتُمُونِي؟». ٢٩ 29
therefore also without contradicting I came, having been sent for; I ask, therefore, for what matter you sent for me?”
فَقَالَ كَرْنِيلِيُوسُ: «مُنْذُ أَرْبَعَةِ أَيَّامٍ إِلَى هَذِهِ ٱلسَّاعَةِ كُنْتُ صَائِمًا. وَفِي ٱلسَّاعَةِ ٱلتَّاسِعَةِ كُنْتُ أُصَلِّي فِي بَيْتِي، وَإِذَا رَجُلٌ قَدْ وَقَفَ أَمَامِي بِلِبَاسٍ لَامِعٍ ٣٠ 30
And Cornelius said, “Four days ago until this hour, I was fasting, and [at] the ninth hour praying in my house, and behold, a man stood before me in radiant clothing,
وَقَالَ: يَا كَرْنِيلِيُوسُ، سُمِعَتْ صَلَاتُكَ وَذُكِرَتْ صَدَقَاتُكَ أَمَامَ ٱللهِ. ٣١ 31
and he said, Cornelius, your prayer was heard, and your kind acts were remembered before God;
فَأَرْسِلْ إِلَى يَافَا وَٱسْتَدْعِ سِمْعَانَ ٱلْمُلَقَّبَ بُطْرُسَ. إِنَّهُ نَازِلٌ فِي بَيْتِ سِمْعَانَ رَجُلٍ دَبَّاغٍ عِنْدَ ٱلْبَحْرِ. فَهُوَ مَتَى جَاءَ يُكَلِّمُكَ. ٣٢ 32
send, therefore, to Joppa, and call for Simon, who is surnamed Peter; this one lodges in the house of Simon a tanner, by the sea, who having come, will speak to you;
فَأَرْسَلْتُ إِلَيْكَ حَالًا. وَأَنْتَ فَعَلْتَ حَسَنًا إِذْ جِئْتَ. وَٱلْآنَ نَحْنُ جَمِيعًا حَاضِرُونَ أَمَامَ ٱللهِ لِنَسْمَعَ جَمِيعَ مَا أَمَرَكَ بِهِ ٱللهُ». ٣٣ 33
at once, therefore, I sent to you; you also did well, having come; now, therefore, we are all present before God to hear all things that have been commanded you by God.”
فَفَتَحَ بُطْرُسُ فَاهُ وَقَالَ: «بِٱلْحَقِّ أَنَا أَجِدُ أَنَّ ٱللهَ لَا يَقْبَلُ ٱلْوُجُوهَ. ٣٤ 34
And Peter having opened his mouth, said, “Of a truth, I perceive that God is not favoring by appearance,
بَلْ فِي كُلِّ أُمَّةٍ، ٱلَّذِي يَتَّقِيهِ وَيَصْنَعُ ٱلْبِرَّ مَقْبُولٌ عِنْدَهُ. ٣٥ 35
but in every nation he who is fearing Him, and is working righteousness, is acceptable to Him;
ٱلْكَلِمَةُ ٱلَّتِي أَرْسَلَهَا إِلَى بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ يُبَشِّرُ بِٱلسَّلَامِ بِيَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ. هَذَا هُوَ رَبُّ ٱلْكُلِّ. ٣٦ 36
the word that He sent to the sons of Israel, proclaiming good news—peace through Jesus Christ (this One is Lord of all),
أَنْتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ ٱلْأَمْرَ ٱلَّذِي صَارَ فِي كُلِّ ٱلْيَهُودِيَّةِ مُبْتَدِئًا مِنَ ٱلْجَلِيلِ، بَعْدَ ٱلْمَعْمُودِيَّةِ ٱلَّتِي كَرَزَ بِهَا يُوحَنَّا. ٣٧ 37
you have known the word that came throughout all Judea, having begun from Galilee, after the immersion that John preached;
يَسُوعُ ٱلَّذِي مِنَ ٱلنَّاصِرَةِ كَيْفَ مَسَحَهُ ٱللهُ بِٱلرُّوحِ ٱلْقُدُسِ وَٱلْقُوَّةِ، ٱلَّذِي جَالَ يَصْنَعُ خَيْرًا وَيَشْفِي جَمِيعَ ٱلْمُتَسَلِّطِ عَلَيْهِمْ إِبْلِيسُ، لِأَنَّ ٱللهَ كَانَ مَعَهُ. ٣٨ 38
Jesus who [is] from Nazareth—how God anointed Him with the Holy Spirit and power; who went through, doing good, and healing all those oppressed by the Devil, because God was with Him;
وَنَحْنُ شُهُودٌ بِكُلِّ مَا فَعَلَ فِي كُورَةِ ٱلْيَهُودِيَّةِ وَفِي أُورُشَلِيمَ. ٱلَّذِي أَيْضًا قَتَلُوهُ مُعَلِّقِينَ إِيَّاهُ عَلَى خَشَبَةٍ. ٣٩ 39
and we are witnesses of all things that He did, both in the country of the Jews, and in Jerusalem—whom they slew, having hanged [Him] on a tree.
هَذَا أَقَامَهُ ٱللهُ فِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلثَّالِثِ، وَأَعْطَى أَنْ يَصِيرَ ظَاهِرًا، ٤٠ 40
This One God raised up [on] the third day, and gave Him to become visible,
لَيْسَ لِجَمِيعِ ٱلشَّعْبِ، بَلْ لِشُهُودٍ سَبَقَ ٱللهُ فَٱنْتَخَبَهُمْ. لَنَا نَحْنُ ٱلَّذِينَ أَكَلْنَا وَشَرِبْنَا مَعَهُ بَعْدَ قِيَامَتِهِ مِنَ ٱلْأَمْوَاتِ. ٤١ 41
not to all the people, but to witnesses, to those having been chosen before by God—to us who ate with [Him], and drank with Him, after His rising out of the dead;
وَأَوْصَانَا أَنْ نَكْرِزَ لِلشَّعْبِ، وَنَشْهَدَ بِأَنَّ هَذَا هُوَ ٱلْمُعَيَّنُ مِنَ ٱللهِ دَيَّانًا لِلْأَحْيَاءِ وَٱلْأَمْوَاتِ. ٤٢ 42
and He commanded us to preach to the people, and to fully testify that it is He who has been ordained judge of living and dead by God—
لَهُ يَشْهَدُ جَمِيعُ ٱلْأَنْبِيَاءِ أَنَّ كُلَّ مَنْ يُؤْمِنُ بِهِ يَنَالُ بِٱسْمِهِ غُفْرَانَ ٱلْخَطَايَا». ٤٣ 43
to this One do all the Prophets testify, that through His Name everyone that is believing in Him receives forgiveness of sins.”
فَبَيْنَمَا بُطْرُسُ يَتَكَلَّمُ بِهَذِهِ ٱلْأُمُورِ حَلَّ ٱلرُّوحُ ٱلْقُدُسُ عَلَى جَمِيعِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَانُوا يَسْمَعُونَ ٱلْكَلِمَةَ. ٤٤ 44
While Peter is yet speaking these sayings, the Holy Spirit fell on all those hearing the word,
فَٱنْدَهَشَ ٱلْمُؤْمِنُونَ ٱلَّذِينَ مِنْ أَهْلِ ٱلْخِتَانِ، كُلُّ مَنْ جَاءَ مَعَ بُطْرُسَ، لِأَنَّ مَوْهِبَةَ ٱلرُّوحِ ٱلْقُدُسِ قَدِ ٱنْسَكَبَتْ عَلَى ٱلْأُمَمِ أَيْضًا. ٤٥ 45
and those of circumcision [who were] believing were astonished—as many as came with Peter—because the gift of the Holy Spirit has also been poured out on the nations,
لِأَنَّهُمْ كَانُوا يَسْمَعُونَهُمْ يَتَكَلَّمُونَ بِأَلْسِنَةٍ وَيُعَظِّمُونَ ٱللهَ. حِينَئِذٍ أَجَابَ بُطْرُسُ: ٤٦ 46
for they were hearing them speaking with tongues and magnifying God.
«أَتُرَى يَسْتَطِيعُ أَحَدٌ أَنْ يَمْنَعَ ٱلْمَاءَ حَتَّى لَا يَعْتَمِدَ هَؤُلَاءِ ٱلَّذِينَ قَبِلُوا ٱلرُّوحَ ٱلْقُدُسَ كَمَا نَحْنُ أَيْضًا؟». ٤٧ 47
Then Peter answered, “Is anyone able to forbid the water, that these may not be immersed, who received the Holy Spirit—even as us also?”
وَأَمَرَ أَنْ يَعْتَمِدُوا بِٱسْمِ ٱلرَّبِّ. حِينَئِذٍ سَأَلُوهُ أَنْ يَمْكُثَ أَيَّامًا. ٤٨ 48
He commanded them to also be immersed in the Name of the LORD; then they implored him to remain certain days.
