أعمال 10
| وَكَانَ فِي قَيْصَرِيَّةَ رَجُلٌ ٱسْمُهُ كَرْنِيلِيُوسُ، قَائِدُ مِئَةٍ مِنَ ٱلْكَتِيبَةِ ٱلَّتِي تُدْعَى ٱلْإِيطَالِيَّةَ. | ١ 1 |
Now there was a man in Caesarea named Cornelius, a centurion of what was called the Italian cohort.
| وَهُوَ تَقِيٌّ وَخَائِفُ ٱللهِ مَعَ جَمِيعِ بَيْتِهِ، يَصْنَعُ حَسَنَاتٍ كَثِيرَةً لِلشَّعْبِ، وَيُصَلِّي إِلَى ٱللهِ فِي كُلِّ حِينٍ. | ٢ 2 |
He was a devout man who feared God along with his entire household; he gave generously to those in need and always prayed to God.
| فَرَأَى ظَاهِرًا فِي رُؤْيَا نَحْوَ ٱلسَّاعَةِ ٱلتَّاسِعَةِ مِنَ ٱلنَّهَارِ، مَلَاكًا مِنَ ٱللهِ دَاخِلًا إِلَيْهِ وَقَائِلًا لَهُ: «يَا كَرْنِيلِيُوسُ!». | ٣ 3 |
About the ninth hour of the day he saw clearly in a vision an angel of God, who came in and said to him, “Cornelius!”
| فَلَمَّا شَخَصَ إِلَيْهِ وَدَخَلَهُ ٱلْخَوْفُ، قَالَ: «مَاذَا يَا سَيِّدُ؟».فَقَالَ لَهُ: «صَلَوَاتُكَ وَصَدَقَاتُكَ صَعِدَتْ تَذْكَارًا أَمَامَ ٱللهِ. | ٤ 4 |
Staring at him intently, Cornelius was afraid and said, “What is it, Lord?” The angel said to him, “Yoʋr prayers and charitable acts have ascended as a memorial offering before God.
| وَٱلْآنَ أَرْسِلْ إِلَى يَافَا رِجَالًا وَٱسْتَدْعِ سِمْعَانَ ٱلْمُلَقَّبَ بُطْرُسَ. | ٥ 5 |
Now send men to Joppa and have them bring back 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 with a tanner named Simon, whose house is by the sea.”
| فَلَمَّا ٱنْطَلَقَ ٱلْمَلَاكُ ٱلَّذِي كَانَ يُكَلِّمُ كَرْنِيلِيُوسَ، نَادَى ٱثْنَيْنِ مِنْ خُدَّامِهِ، وَعَسْكَرِيًّا تَقِيًّا مِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَانُوا يُلَازِمُونَهُ، | ٧ 7 |
When the angel who spoke to him went away, Cornelius called two of his servants and a devout soldier from among his attendants.
| وَأَخْبَرَهُمْ بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ وَأَرْسَلَهُمْ إِلَى يَافَا. | ٨ 8 |
After explaining everything 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 |
On the next day, as the men were traveling along and approaching the city, Peter went up on the housetop to pray at about the sixth hour.
| فَجَاعَ كَثِيرًا وَٱشْتَهَى أَنْ يَأْكُلَ. وَبَيْنَمَا هُمْ يُهَيِّئُونَ لَهُ، وَقَعَتْ عَلَيْهِ غَيْبَةٌ، | ١٠ 10 |
He became hungry and wanted to eat, and as they were preparing a meal, a trance fell upon him.
| فَرَأَى ٱلسَّمَاءَ مَفْتُوحَةً، وَإِنَاءً نَازِلًا عَلَيْهِ مِثْلَ مُلَاءَةٍ عَظِيمَةٍ مَرْبُوطَةٍ بِأَرْبَعَةِ أَطْرَافٍ وَمُدَلَّاةٍ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ. | ١١ 11 |
He saw heaven opened and an object like a large sheet coming down to him. It was tied at its four corners and was being lowered to the earth.
| وَكَانَ فِيهَا كُلُّ دَوَابِّ ٱلْأَرْضِ وَٱلْوُحُوشِ وَٱلزَّحَّافَاتِ وَطُيُورِ ٱلسَّمَاءِ. | ١٢ 12 |
In it were all kinds of four-footed animals of the earth, as well as wild beasts, reptiles, and birds of the sky.
| وَصَارَ إِلَيْهِ صَوْتٌ: «قُمْ يَا بُطْرُسُ، ٱذْبَحْ وَكُلْ». | ١٣ 13 |
Then a voice came to him: “Rise, Peter, kill and eat.”
| فَقَالَ بُطْرُسُ: «كَلَّا يَارَبُّ! لِأَنِّي لَمْ آكُلْ قَطُّ شَيْئًا دَنِسًا أَوْ نَجِسًا». | ١٤ 14 |
But Peter said, “Surely not, Lord! For I have never eaten anything that is defiled or unclean.”
| فَصَارَ إِلَيْهِ أَيْضًا صَوْتٌ ثَانِيَةً: «مَا طَهَّرَهُ ٱللهُ لَا تُدَنِّسْهُ أَنْتَ!». | ١٥ 15 |
The voice came to him again a second time: “Do not regard as defiled what God has made clean.”
| وَكَانَ هَذَا عَلَى ثَلَاثِ مَرَّاتٍ، ثُمَّ ٱرْتَفَعَ ٱلْإِنَاءُ أَيْضًا إِلَى ٱلسَّمَاءِ. | ١٦ 16 |
This happened three times, and then the object was taken up again into 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 |
While Peter was greatly perplexed, pondering within himself what the vision he had seen might mean, behold, the men sent by Cornelius had asked for Simon's house and were standing at the gate.
| وَنَادَوْا يَسْتَخْبِرُونَ: «هَلْ سِمْعَانُ ٱلْمُلَقَّبُ بُطْرُسَ نَازِلٌ هُنَاكَ؟». | ١٨ 18 |
They called out and asked if Simon, who was called Peter, was staying there.
| وَبَيْنَمَا بُطْرُسُ مُتَفَكِّرٌ فِي ٱلرُّؤْيَا، قَالَ لَهُ ٱلرُّوحُ: «هُوَذَا ثَلَاثَةُ رِجَالٍ يَطْلُبُونَكَ. | ١٩ 19 |
As Peter continued pondering the vision, the Spirit said to him, “Behold, some men are looking for yoʋ.
| لَكِنْ قُمْ وَٱنْزِلْ وَٱذْهَبْ مَعَهُمْ غَيْرَ مُرْتَابٍ فِي شَيْءٍ، لِأَنِّي أَنَا قَدْ أَرْسَلْتُهُمْ». | ٢٠ 20 |
Now get up, go downstairs, and go with them without any misgivings, for 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 |
So Peter went down to the men and said, “Behold, I am the one you are looking for. For what reason have you come?”
| 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 |
They said, “Cornelius, a centurion, a righteous and God-fearing man, who is well spoken of by the entire Jewish nation, was directed by a holy angel to send for yoʋ to come to his house and to hear a message from yoʋ.”
| فَدَعَاهُمْ إِلَى دَاخِلٍ وَأَضَافَهُمْ. ثُمَّ فِي ٱلْغَدِ خَرَجَ بُطْرُسُ مَعَهُمْ، وَأُنَاسٌ مِنَ ٱلْإِخْوَةِ ٱلَّذِينَ مِنْ يَافَا رَافَقُوهُ. | ٢٣ 23 |
So Peter invited them in and put them up for the night. The next day Peter went with them, and some of the brothers from Joppa accompanied him.
| وَفِي ٱلْغَدِ دَخَلُوا قَيْصَرِيَّةَ. وَأَمَّا كَرْنِيلِيُوسُ فَكَانَ يَنْتَظِرُهُمْ، وَقَدْ دَعَا أَنْسِبَاءَهُ وَأَصْدِقَاءَهُ ٱلْأَقْرَبِينَ. | ٢٤ 24 |
The following day they entered Caesarea. Cornelius was expecting them and had called together his relatives and close 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 raised him up, saying, “Stand up; I too am just a man.”
| ثُمَّ دَخَلَ وَهُوَ يَتَكَلَّمُ مَعَهُ وَوَجَدَ كَثِيرِينَ مُجْتَمِعِينَ. | ٢٧ 27 |
As Peter talked with him, he went in and found many people gathered 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 |
Peter said to them, “You know that it is forbidden for a Jewish man to keep company with or associate with a foreigner, but God has shown me that I should call no one defiled or unclean.
| فَلِذَلِكَ جِئْتُ مِنْ دُونِ مُنَاقَضَةٍ إِذِ ٱسْتَدْعَيْتُمُونِي. فَأَسْتَخْبِرُكُمْ: لِأَيِّ سَبَبٍ ٱسْتَدْعَيْتُمُونِي؟». | ٢٩ 29 |
That is why I came without objection when I was sent for. I ask then, what is the reason you have 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 said, “Four days ago I was fasting until this hour. At the ninth hour I was praying in my house, and behold, a man stood before me in bright clothing.
| وَقَالَ: يَا كَرْنِيلِيُوسُ، سُمِعَتْ صَلَاتُكَ وَذُكِرَتْ صَدَقَاتُكَ أَمَامَ ٱللهِ. | ٣١ 31 |
The man said, ‘Cornelius, yoʋr prayer has been heard, and yoʋr charitable acts have been 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 |
Therefore send to Joppa and ask for Simon, who is called Peter. He is staying by the sea in the house of a tanner named Simon. When he arrives, he will speak to yoʋ.’
| 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 yoʋ at once, and yoʋ have done well by coming. Now then, we are all here in the presence of God to hear all that yoʋ have been commanded by God.”
| فَفَتَحَ بُطْرُسُ فَاهُ وَقَالَ: «بِٱلْحَقِّ أَنَا أَجِدُ أَنَّ ٱللهَ لَا يَقْبَلُ ٱلْوُجُوهَ. | ٣٤ 34 |
Then Peter opened his mouth and said, “Now I truly understand that God shows no partiality,
| بَلْ فِي كُلِّ أُمَّةٍ، ٱلَّذِي يَتَّقِيهِ وَيَصْنَعُ ٱلْبِرَّ مَقْبُولٌ عِنْدَهُ. | ٣٥ 35 |
but in every nation anyone who fears him and does what is right is acceptable to him.
| ٱلْكَلِمَةُ ٱلَّتِي أَرْسَلَهَا إِلَى بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ يُبَشِّرُ بِٱلسَّلَامِ بِيَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ. هَذَا هُوَ رَبُّ ٱلْكُلِّ. | ٣٦ 36 |
You yourselves know the message he sent to the sons of Israel, preaching the good news of peace through 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 |
the message that spread throughout all Judea, beginning from Galilee after the baptism 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 |
how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and power, who then went around doing good and healing all who were 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 |
We are witnesses of everything he did both in the country of the Jews and in Jerusalem. They put him to death by hanging him on a cross,
| هَذَا أَقَامَهُ ٱللهُ فِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلثَّالِثِ، وَأَعْطَى أَنْ يَصِيرَ ظَاهِرًا، | ٤٠ 40 |
but God raised him up on the third day and allowed him to be seen,
| لَيْسَ لِجَمِيعِ ٱلشَّعْبِ، بَلْ لِشُهُودٍ سَبَقَ ٱللهُ فَٱنْتَخَبَهُمْ. لَنَا نَحْنُ ٱلَّذِينَ أَكَلْنَا وَشَرِبْنَا مَعَهُ بَعْدَ قِيَامَتِهِ مِنَ ٱلْأَمْوَاتِ. | ٤١ 41 |
not by all the people, but by us, the witnesses who had been chosen beforehand by God, who ate and drank with him after he rose from the dead.
| وَأَوْصَانَا أَنْ نَكْرِزَ لِلشَّعْبِ، وَنَشْهَدَ بِأَنَّ هَذَا هُوَ ٱلْمُعَيَّنُ مِنَ ٱللهِ دَيَّانًا لِلْأَحْيَاءِ وَٱلْأَمْوَاتِ. | ٤٢ 42 |
He commanded us to preach to the people and to testify that he is the one who has been appointed by God as judge of the living and the dead.
| لَهُ يَشْهَدُ جَمِيعُ ٱلْأَنْبِيَاءِ أَنَّ كُلَّ مَنْ يُؤْمِنُ بِهِ يَنَالُ بِٱسْمِهِ غُفْرَانَ ٱلْخَطَايَا». | ٤٣ 43 |
All the prophets testify about him that everyone who believes in him receives remission of sins through his name.”
| فَبَيْنَمَا بُطْرُسُ يَتَكَلَّمُ بِهَذِهِ ٱلْأُمُورِ حَلَّ ٱلرُّوحُ ٱلْقُدُسُ عَلَى جَمِيعِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَانُوا يَسْمَعُونَ ٱلْكَلِمَةَ. | ٤٤ 44 |
While Peter was still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit fell upon 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 |
All the believers from among the circumcised who had come with Peter were astonished, because the gift of the Holy Spirit was being poured out even on the Gentiles.
| لِأَنَّهُمْ كَانُوا يَسْمَعُونَهُمْ يَتَكَلَّمُونَ بِأَلْسِنَةٍ وَيُعَظِّمُونَ ٱللهَ. حِينَئِذٍ أَجَابَ بُطْرُسُ: | ٤٦ 46 |
For they heard them speaking in tongues and magnifying God. Then Peter responded,
| «أَتُرَى يَسْتَطِيعُ أَحَدٌ أَنْ يَمْنَعَ ٱلْمَاءَ حَتَّى لَا يَعْتَمِدَ هَؤُلَاءِ ٱلَّذِينَ قَبِلُوا ٱلرُّوحَ ٱلْقُدُسَ كَمَا نَحْنُ أَيْضًا؟». | ٤٧ 47 |
“Can anyone withhold water for baptizing these people who have received the Holy Spirit just as we have?”
| وَأَمَرَ أَنْ يَعْتَمِدُوا بِٱسْمِ ٱلرَّبِّ. حِينَئِذٍ سَأَلُوهُ أَنْ يَمْكُثَ أَيَّامًا. | ٤٨ 48 |
So he gave orders to have them baptized in the name of the Lord. Then they asked him to stay on for a few days.
