أعمال 10
| وَكَانَ فِي قَيْصَرِيَّةَ رَجُلٌ ٱسْمُهُ كَرْنِيلِيُوسُ، قَائِدُ مِئَةٍ مِنَ ٱلْكَتِيبَةِ ٱلَّتِي تُدْعَى ٱلْإِيطَالِيَّةَ. | ١ 1 |
Now there was at Caesarea a man named Cornelius, a captain in the Italian regiment.
| وَهُوَ تَقِيٌّ وَخَائِفُ ٱللهِ مَعَ جَمِيعِ بَيْتِهِ، يَصْنَعُ حَسَنَاتٍ كَثِيرَةً لِلشَّعْبِ، وَيُصَلِّي إِلَى ٱللهِ فِي كُلِّ حِينٍ. | ٢ 2 |
He was a devout man and God-fearing, and so were all his household. He gave many alms to the people, and constantly prayed to God.
| فَرَأَى ظَاهِرًا فِي رُؤْيَا نَحْوَ ٱلسَّاعَةِ ٱلتَّاسِعَةِ مِنَ ٱلنَّهَارِ، مَلَاكًا مِنَ ٱللهِ دَاخِلًا إِلَيْهِ وَقَائِلًا لَهُ: «يَا كَرْنِيلِيُوسُ!». | ٣ 3 |
About three o’clock one afternoon he had a vision, and distinctly saw an angel of God enter his house and say to him, "Cornelius."
| فَلَمَّا شَخَصَ إِلَيْهِ وَدَخَلَهُ ٱلْخَوْفُ، قَالَ: «مَاذَا يَا سَيِّدُ؟».فَقَالَ لَهُ: «صَلَوَاتُكَ وَصَدَقَاتُكَ صَعِدَتْ تَذْكَارًا أَمَامَ ٱللهِ. | ٤ 4 |
He stared at him in terror, and said, "What is it, Lord?" "Your prayers and your alms have risen for a memorial before God," answered the angel;
| وَٱلْآنَ أَرْسِلْ إِلَى يَافَا رِجَالًا وَٱسْتَدْعِ سِمْعَانَ ٱلْمُلَقَّبَ بُطْرُسَ. | ٥ 5 |
"and now send men to Joppa and fetch one Simon, who is called Peter.
| إِنَّهُ نَازِلٌ عِنْدَ سِمْعَانَ رَجُلٍ دَبَّاغٍ بَيْتُهُ عِنْدَ ٱلْبَحْرِ. هُوَ يَقُولُ لَكَ مَاذَا يَنْبَغِي أَنْ تَفْعَلَ». | ٦ 6 |
"He is staying as a guest with Simon, a tanner, whose house is near the sea."
| فَلَمَّا ٱنْطَلَقَ ٱلْمَلَاكُ ٱلَّذِي كَانَ يُكَلِّمُ كَرْنِيلِيُوسَ، نَادَى ٱثْنَيْنِ مِنْ خُدَّامِهِ، وَعَسْكَرِيًّا تَقِيًّا مِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَانُوا يُلَازِمُونَهُ، | ٧ 7 |
And after the angel who was speaking to him was gone, he called two of his household servants and a devout soldier who was in constant attendance upon him,
| وَأَخْبَرَهُمْ بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ وَأَرْسَلَهُمْ إِلَى يَافَا. | ٨ 8 |
and after telling them everything, he sent them to Joppa.
| ثُمَّ فِي ٱلْغَدِ فِيمَا هُمْ يُسَافِرُونَ وَيَقْتَرِبُونَ إِلَى ٱلْمَدِينَةِ، صَعِدَ بُطْرُسُ عَلَى ٱلسَّطْحِ لِيُصَلِّيَ نَحْوَ ٱلسَّاعَةِ ٱلسَّادِسَةِ. | ٩ 9 |
The next day, while they were still on their way and were approaching the town, about noon, Peter went up to the housetop to pray.
| فَجَاعَ كَثِيرًا وَٱشْتَهَى أَنْ يَأْكُلَ. وَبَيْنَمَا هُمْ يُهَيِّئُونَ لَهُ، وَقَعَتْ عَلَيْهِ غَيْبَةٌ، | ١٠ 10 |
He had become very hungry and longed for food; but while they were preparing it, he fell into a trance.
| فَرَأَى ٱلسَّمَاءَ مَفْتُوحَةً، وَإِنَاءً نَازِلًا عَلَيْهِ مِثْلَ مُلَاءَةٍ عَظِيمَةٍ مَرْبُوطَةٍ بِأَرْبَعَةِ أَطْرَافٍ وَمُدَلَّاةٍ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ. | ١١ 11 |
He beheld the sky opened, and a vessel descending like an enormous sail let down to earth by four corners.
| وَكَانَ فِيهَا كُلُّ دَوَابِّ ٱلْأَرْضِ وَٱلْوُحُوشِ وَٱلزَّحَّافَاتِ وَطُيُورِ ٱلسَّمَاءِ. | ١٢ 12 |
In it were all kinds of quadrupeds and creeping things of the earth, and wild birds.
| وَصَارَ إِلَيْهِ صَوْتٌ: «قُمْ يَا بُطْرُسُ، ٱذْبَحْ وَكُلْ». | ١٣ 13 |
A voice came to him, saying, "Rise, Peter, kill and eat."
| فَقَالَ بُطْرُسُ: «كَلَّا يَارَبُّ! لِأَنِّي لَمْ آكُلْ قَطُّ شَيْئًا دَنِسًا أَوْ نَجِسًا». | ١٤ 14 |
"Not so, my Lord," answered Peter, "for I have never yet eaten anything common and unclean."
| فَصَارَ إِلَيْهِ أَيْضًا صَوْتٌ ثَانِيَةً: «مَا طَهَّرَهُ ٱللهُ لَا تُدَنِّسْهُ أَنْتَ!». | ١٥ 15 |
And again a second time came to him a voice, saying, "What God has cleansed you must not call common."
| وَكَانَ هَذَا عَلَى ثَلَاثِ مَرَّاتٍ، ثُمَّ ٱرْتَفَعَ ٱلْإِنَاءُ أَيْضًا إِلَى ٱلسَّمَاءِ. | ١٦ 16 |
This happened three times; and immediately the sail was drawn up into the sky.
| 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 |
Now while Peter was greatly perplexed to know what the vision which he had been sent by Cornelius, and had made inquiries for the house of Simon, stood at the gate,
| وَنَادَوْا يَسْتَخْبِرُونَ: «هَلْ سِمْعَانُ ٱلْمُلَقَّبُ بُطْرُسَ نَازِلٌ هُنَاكَ؟». | ١٨ 18 |
and called and asked whether Simon who was called Peter was lodging there.
| وَبَيْنَمَا بُطْرُسُ مُتَفَكِّرٌ فِي ٱلرُّؤْيَا، قَالَ لَهُ ٱلرُّوحُ: «هُوَذَا ثَلَاثَةُ رِجَالٍ يَطْلُبُونَكَ. | ١٩ 19 |
So the Spirit said to Peter, who was still pondering over the vision.
| لَكِنْ قُمْ وَٱنْزِلْ وَٱذْهَبْ مَعَهُمْ غَيْرَ مُرْتَابٍ فِي شَيْءٍ، لِأَنِّي أَنَا قَدْ أَرْسَلْتُهُمْ». | ٢٠ 20 |
"Three men are now looking for you. Rise, go down and go with them, nothing doubting; for it is I who 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 |
So Peter went down to the men and said. "I am the man you are looking for. What is the reason of your coming?"
| 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 |
"Cornelius," they answered, "a captain, a devout man, and God- fearing, of whom the whole, Jewish nation speaks well, was instructed by a holy angel to send for you to come to his house, and to listen to your message."
| فَدَعَاهُمْ إِلَى دَاخِلٍ وَأَضَافَهُمْ. ثُمَّ فِي ٱلْغَدِ خَرَجَ بُطْرُسُ مَعَهُمْ، وَأُنَاسٌ مِنَ ٱلْإِخْوَةِ ٱلَّذِينَ مِنْ يَافَا رَافَقُوهُ. | ٢٣ 23 |
So he invited them in and gave them lodging. The next day he rose, and went off with them, and some of the brothers from Joppa accompanied them;
| وَفِي ٱلْغَدِ دَخَلُوا قَيْصَرِيَّةَ. وَأَمَّا كَرْنِيلِيُوسُ فَكَانَ يَنْتَظِرُهُمْ، وَقَدْ دَعَا أَنْسِبَاءَهُ وَأَصْدِقَاءَهُ ٱلْأَقْرَبِينَ. | ٢٤ 24 |
and the day after that they reached Caesarea. There Cornelius was waiting for them, and had brought together all his relatives and intimate friends.
| وَلَمَّا دَخَلَ بُطْرُسُ ٱسْتَقْبَلَهُ كَرْنِيلِيُوسُ وَسَجَدَ وَاقِعًا عَلَى قَدَمَيْهِ. | ٢٥ 25 |
When Peter entered the house Cornelius met him, fell at his feet, and worshiped him;
| فَأَقَامَهُ بُطْرُسُ قَائِلًا: «قُمْ، أَنَا أَيْضًا إِنْسَانٌ». | ٢٦ 26 |
but Peter lifted him up. "Stand up," he said, "I am only a man, myself."
| ثُمَّ دَخَلَ وَهُوَ يَتَكَلَّمُ مَعَهُ وَوَجَدَ كَثِيرِينَ مُجْتَمِعِينَ. | ٢٧ 27 |
And as he talked with him, he went in and found a large company assembled.
| 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 |
To them he said. "You know, yourselves, that it is illegal for a Jew to associate with or to visit one of another nation; but God has taught me that I should not call any man common or unclean. For this reason, when sent for, I came without demur.
| فَلِذَلِكَ جِئْتُ مِنْ دُونِ مُنَاقَضَةٍ إِذِ ٱسْتَدْعَيْتُمُونِي. فَأَسْتَخْبِرُكُمْ: لِأَيِّ سَبَبٍ ٱسْتَدْعَيْتُمُونِي؟». | ٢٩ 29 |
"I ask therefore why 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 |
Cornelius answered. "Three days ago, at this very hour, I was praying in my house at three o’clock in the afternoon, when suddenly a man in a shining robe stood by me,
| وَقَالَ: يَا كَرْنِيلِيُوسُ، سُمِعَتْ صَلَاتُكَ وَذُكِرَتْ صَدَقَاتُكَ أَمَامَ ٱللهِ. | ٣١ 31 |
and said. "‘Cornelius, your prayer is heard, and your alms are had in remembrance in the sight of God.
| فَأَرْسِلْ إِلَى يَافَا وَٱسْتَدْعِ سِمْعَانَ ٱلْمُلَقَّبَ بُطْرُسَ. إِنَّهُ نَازِلٌ فِي بَيْتِ سِمْعَانَ رَجُلٍ دَبَّاغٍ عِنْدَ ٱلْبَحْرِ. فَهُوَ مَتَى جَاءَ يُكَلِّمُكَ. | ٣٢ 32 |
"‘So send to Joppa and summon Simon, who is called Peter. He is lodging with Simon the tanner, in a house by the seaside.’
| فَأَرْسَلْتُ إِلَيْكَ حَالًا. وَأَنْتَ فَعَلْتَ حَسَنًا إِذْ جِئْتَ. وَٱلْآنَ نَحْنُ جَمِيعًا حَاضِرُونَ أَمَامَ ٱللهِ لِنَسْمَعَ جَمِيعَ مَا أَمَرَكَ بِهِ ٱللهُ». | ٣٣ 33 |
"So I sent for you without delay, and you have been kind enough to come. Now therefore we are all here present in the sight of God, to listen to what the Lord has commanded you to speak."
| فَفَتَحَ بُطْرُسُ فَاهُ وَقَالَ: «بِٱلْحَقِّ أَنَا أَجِدُ أَنَّ ٱللهَ لَا يَقْبَلُ ٱلْوُجُوهَ. | ٣٤ 34 |
Then Peter began to speak. "Of a truth I begin to see quite plainly that God is no respecter of persons;
| بَلْ فِي كُلِّ أُمَّةٍ، ٱلَّذِي يَتَّقِيهِ وَيَصْنَعُ ٱلْبِرَّ مَقْبُولٌ عِنْدَهُ. | ٣٥ 35 |
"but in every nation he who fears him and works righteousness is acceptable to him.
| ٱلْكَلِمَةُ ٱلَّتِي أَرْسَلَهَا إِلَى بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ يُبَشِّرُ بِٱلسَّلَامِ بِيَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ. هَذَا هُوَ رَبُّ ٱلْكُلِّ. | ٣٦ 36 |
"You cannot but know the message which he sent to the descendants of Israel, when he preached the gospel of peace by Jesus Christ who is Lord of all;
| أَنْتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ ٱلْأَمْرَ ٱلَّذِي صَارَ فِي كُلِّ ٱلْيَهُودِيَّةِ مُبْتَدِئًا مِنَ ٱلْجَلِيلِ، بَعْدَ ٱلْمَعْمُودِيَّةِ ٱلَّتِي كَرَزَ بِهَا يُوحَنَّا. | ٣٧ 37 |
"you know the message spread throughout all Judea, beginning in Galilee, after the baptism which 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 |
"how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, and how he went about everywhere doing good, and curing all who were oppressed by the devil; for 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 were witnesses of all that he did, both in the land of the Jews and in Jerusalem. They killed him, hanging him on a tree.
| هَذَا أَقَامَهُ ٱللهُ فِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلثَّالِثِ، وَأَعْطَى أَنْ يَصِيرَ ظَاهِرًا، | ٤٠ 40 |
"But him God raised up on the third day, and permitted him to be made manifest,
| 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 - men previously chosen by God - that is, to us, who ate and drank with him after he had risen from the dead;
| وَأَوْصَانَا أَنْ نَكْرِزَ لِلشَّعْبِ، وَنَشْهَدَ بِأَنَّ هَذَا هُوَ ٱلْمُعَيَّنُ مِنَ ٱللهِ دَيَّانًا لِلْأَحْيَاءِ وَٱلْأَمْوَاتِ. | ٤٢ 42 |
"when he charged us to preach to the people, and to testify that this was he whom God ordained to be the judge of the living and of the dead.
| لَهُ يَشْهَدُ جَمِيعُ ٱلْأَنْبِيَاءِ أَنَّ كُلَّ مَنْ يُؤْمِنُ بِهِ يَنَالُ بِٱسْمِهِ غُفْرَانَ ٱلْخَطَايَا». | ٤٣ 43 |
"To him all the prophets bear witness, testifying that through his name every one that believes on him will receive remission of sins."
| فَبَيْنَمَا بُطْرُسُ يَتَكَلَّمُ بِهَذِهِ ٱلْأُمُورِ حَلَّ ٱلرُّوحُ ٱلْقُدُسُ عَلَى جَمِيعِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَانُوا يَسْمَعُونَ ٱلْكَلِمَةَ. | ٤٤ 44 |
While Peter was still speaking, the Holy Spirit fell on all who were listening to the message.
| فَٱنْدَهَشَ ٱلْمُؤْمِنُونَ ٱلَّذِينَ مِنْ أَهْلِ ٱلْخِتَانِ، كُلُّ مَنْ جَاءَ مَعَ بُطْرُسَ، لِأَنَّ مَوْهِبَةَ ٱلرُّوحِ ٱلْقُدُسِ قَدِ ٱنْسَكَبَتْ عَلَى ٱلْأُمَمِ أَيْضًا. | ٤٥ 45 |
And all the Jewish believers who had accompanied Peter were amazed, because the gift of the Holy Spirit was poured out upon the Gentiles also.
| لِأَنَّهُمْ كَانُوا يَسْمَعُونَهُمْ يَتَكَلَّمُونَ بِأَلْسِنَةٍ وَيُعَظِّمُونَ ٱللهَ. حِينَئِذٍ أَجَابَ بُطْرُسُ: | ٤٦ 46 |
For they heard them speak with tongues and magnify God.
| «أَتُرَى يَسْتَطِيعُ أَحَدٌ أَنْ يَمْنَعَ ٱلْمَاءَ حَتَّى لَا يَعْتَمِدَ هَؤُلَاءِ ٱلَّذِينَ قَبِلُوا ٱلرُّوحَ ٱلْقُدُسَ كَمَا نَحْنُ أَيْضًا؟». | ٤٧ 47 |
Then Peter said, "Can any one refuse water for the baptism of these men who have received the Holy Spirit as well as we?"
| وَأَمَرَ أَنْ يَعْتَمِدُوا بِٱسْمِ ٱلرَّبِّ. حِينَئِذٍ سَأَلُوهُ أَنْ يَمْكُثَ أَيَّامًا. | ٤٨ 48 |
And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. Then they begged him to remain with them for a time.
