< أعمال 12 >

وَفِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْوَقْتِ مَدَّ هِيرُودُسُ ٱلْمَلِكُ يَدَيْهِ لِيُسِيئَ إِلَى أُنَاسٍ مِنَ ٱلْكَنِيسَةِ، ١ 1
Now about that time Herod the king laid hands on some who belonged to the church so that he might mistreat them.
فَقَتَلَ يَعْقُوبَ أَخَا يُوحَنَّا بِٱلسَّيْفِ. ٢ 2
He killed James the brother of John with the sword.
وَإِذْ رَأَى أَنَّ ذَلِكَ يُرْضِي ٱلْيَهُودَ، عَادَ فَقَبَضَ عَلَى بُطْرُسَ أَيْضًا. وَكَانَتْ أَيَّامُ ٱلْفَطِيرِ. ٣ 3
After he saw that this pleased the Jews, he proceeded to arrest Peter also. That was during the days of unleavened bread.
وَلَمَّا أَمْسَكَهُ وَضَعَهُ فِي ٱلسِّجْنِ، مُسَلِّمًا إِيَّاهُ إِلَى أَرْبَعَةِ أَرَابِعَ مِنَ ٱلْعَسْكَرِ لِيَحْرُسُوهُ، نَاوِيًا أَنْ يُقَدِّمَهُ بَعْدَ ٱلْفِصْحِ إِلَى ٱلشَّعْبِ. ٤ 4
After arresting him, he put him in prison, assigning him over to four squads of soldiers to guard him; he was intending to bring him to the people after the Passover.
فَكَانَ بُطْرُسُ مَحْرُوسًا فِي ٱلسِّجْنِ، وَأَمَّا ٱلْكَنِيسَةُ فَكَانَتْ تَصِيرُ مِنْهَا صَلَاةٌ بِلَجَاجَةٍ إِلَى ٱللهِ مِنْ أَجْلِهِ. ٥ 5
So Peter was kept in the prison, but prayer was made earnestly to God for him by those in the church.
وَلَمَّا كَانَ هِيرُودُسُ مُزْمِعًا أَنْ يُقَدِّمَهُ، كَانَ بُطْرُسُ فِي تِلْكَ ٱللَّيْلَةِ نَائِمًا بَيْنَ عَسْكَرِيَّيْنِ مَرْبُوطًا بِسِلْسِلَتَيْنِ، وَكَانَ قُدَّامَ ٱلْبَابِ حُرَّاسٌ يَحْرُسُونَ ٱلسِّجْنَ. ٦ 6
On the night before Herod was going to bring him out for trial, Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains, while guards in front of the door were keeping watch over the prison.
وَإِذَا مَلَاكُ ٱلرَّبِّ أَقْبَلَ، وَنُورٌ أَضَاءَ فِي ٱلْبَيْتِ، فَضَرَبَ جَنْبَ بُطْرُسَ وَأَيْقَظَهُ قَائِلًا: «قُمْ عَاجِلًا!». فَسَقَطَتِ ٱلسِّلْسِلَتَانِ مِنْ يَدَيْهِ. ٧ 7
Behold, an angel of the Lord suddenly appeared by him, and a light shone in the prison cell. He struck Peter on the side and woke him and said, “Get up quickly,” and his chains fell off his hands.
وَقَالَ لَهُ ٱلْمَلَاكُ: «تَمَنْطَقْ وَٱلْبَسْ نَعْلَيْكَ». فَفَعَلَ هَكَذَا. فَقَالَ لَهُ: «ٱلْبَسْ رِدَاءَكَ وَٱتْبَعْنِي». ٨ 8
The angel said to him, “Dress yourself and put on your sandals.” Peter did so. The angel said to him, “Put on your outer garment and follow me.”
فَخَرَجَ يَتْبَعُهُ. وَكَانَ لَا يَعْلَمُ أَنَّ ٱلَّذِي جَرَى بِوَاسِطَةِ ٱلْمَلَاكِ هُوَ حَقِيقِيٌّ، بَلْ يَظُنُّ أَنَّهُ يَنْظُرُ رُؤْيَا. ٩ 9
So Peter followed the angel and went out. He did not know that what was done by the angel was real. He thought he was seeing a vision.
فَجَازَا ٱلْمَحْرَسَ ٱلْأَوَّلَ وَٱلثَّانِيَ، وَأَتَيَا إِلَى بَابِ ٱلْحَدِيدِ ٱلَّذِي يُؤَدِّي إِلَى ٱلْمَدِينَةِ، فَٱنْفَتَحَ لَهُمَا مِنْ ذَاتِهِ، فَخَرَجَا وَتَقَدَّمَا زُقَاقًا وَاحِدًا، وَلِلْوَقْتِ فَارَقَهُ ٱلْمَلَاكُ. ١٠ 10
After they had passed by the first guard and the second, they came to the iron gate that led into the city; it opened for them by itself. They went out and went down a street, and the angel left him right away.
فَقَالَ بُطْرُسُ، وَهُوَ قَدْ رَجَعَ إِلَى نَفْسِهِ: «ٱلْآنَ عَلِمْتُ يَقِينًا أَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ أَرْسَلَ مَلَاكَهُ وَأَنْقَذَنِي مِنْ يَدِ هِيرُودُسَ، وَمِنْ كُلِّ ٱنْتِظَارِ شَعْبِ ٱلْيَهُودِ». ١١ 11
When Peter came to himself, he said, “Now I truly know that the Lord has sent his angel and delivered me out of the hand of Herod, and from everything the Jewish people were expecting.”
ثُمَّ جَاءَ وَهُوَ مُنْتَبِهٌ إِلَى بَيْتِ مَرْيَمَ أُمِّ يُوحَنَّا ٱلْمُلَقَّبِ مَرْقُسَ، حَيْثُ كَانَ كَثِيرُونَ مُجْتَمِعِينَ وَهُمْ يُصَلُّونَ. ١٢ 12
When he realized this, he went to the house of Mary the mother of John, also called Mark, where many people had gathered and were praying.
فَلَمَّا قَرَعَ بُطْرُسُ بَابَ ٱلدِّهْلِيزِ جَاءَتْ جَارِيَةٌ ٱسْمُهَا رَوْدَا لِتَسْمَعَ. ١٣ 13
When he knocked at the door of the gate, a servant girl named Rhoda came to answer.
فَلَمَّا عَرَفَتْ صَوْتَ بُطْرُسَ لَمْ تَفْتَحِ ٱلْبَابَ مِنَ ٱلْفَرَحِ، بَلْ رَكَضَتْ إِلَى دَاخِلٍ وَأَخْبَرَتْ أَنَّ بُطْرُسَ وَاقِفٌ قُدَّامَ ٱلْبَابِ. ١٤ 14
When she recognized Peter's voice, out of joy she failed to open the door; instead, she came running into the room; she reported that Peter was standing at the door.
فَقَالُوا لَهَا: «أَنْتِ تَهْذِينَ!». وَأَمَّا هِيَ فَكَانَتْ تُؤَكِّدُ أَنَّ هَكَذَا هُوَ. فَقَالُوا: «إِنَّهُ مَلَاكُهُ!». ١٥ 15
So they said to her, “You are insane.” But she insisted that it was so. They said, “It is his angel.”
وَأَمَّا بُطْرُسُ فَلَبِثَ يَقْرَعُ. فَلَمَّا فَتَحُوا وَرَأَوْهُ ٱنْدَهَشُوا. ١٦ 16
But Peter continued knocking, and when they had opened the door, they saw him and were amazed.
فَأَشَارَ إِلَيْهِمْ بِيَدِهِ لِيَسْكُتُوا، وَحَدَّثَهُمْ كَيْفَ أَخْرَجَهُ ٱلرَّبُّ مِنَ ٱلسِّجْنِ. وَقَالَ: «أَخْبِرُوا يَعْقُوبَ وَٱلْإِخْوَةَ بِهَذَا». ثُمَّ خَرَجَ وَذَهَبَ إِلَى مَوْضِعٍ آخَرَ. ١٧ 17
Peter motioned to them with his hand to be silent, and he told them how the Lord had brought him out of prison. He said, “Report these things to James and the brothers.” Then he left and went to another place.
فَلَمَّا صَارَ ٱلنَّهَارُ حَصَلَ ٱضْطِرَابٌ لَيْسَ بِقَلِيلٍ بَيْنَ ٱلْعَسْكَرِ: تُرَى مَاذَا جَرَى لِبُطْرُسَ؟ ١٨ 18
Now when it became day, there was no small disturbance among the soldiers over what had happened to Peter.
وَأَمَّا هِيرُودُسُ فَلَمَّا طَلَبَهُ وَلَمْ يَجِدْهُ فَحَصَ ٱلْحُرَّاسَ، وَأَمَرَ أَنْ يَنْقَادُوا إِلَى ٱلْقَتْلِ. ثُمَّ نَزَلَ مِنَ ٱلْيَهُودِيَّةِ إِلَى قَيْصَرِيَّةَ وَأَقَامَ هُنَاكَ. ١٩ 19
After Herod had searched for him and could not find him, he questioned the guards and ordered them to be put to death. Then he went down from Judea to Caesarea and stayed there.
وَكَانَ هِيرُودُسُ سَاخِطًا عَلَى ٱلصُّورِيِّينَ وَٱلصَّيْدَاوِيِّينَ، فَحَضَرُوا إِلَيْهِ بِنَفْسٍ وَاحِدَةٍ وَٱسْتَعْطَفُوا بَلَاسْتُسَ ٱلنَّاظِرَ عَلَى مَضْجَعِ ٱلْمَلِكِ، ثُمَّ صَارُوا يَلْتَمِسُونَ ٱلْمُصَالَحَةَ لِأَنَّ كُورَتَهُمْ تَقْتَاتُ مِنْ كُورَةِ ٱلْمَلِكِ. ٢٠ 20
Now Herod was very angry with the people of Tyre and Sidon. They went to him together. They persuaded Blastus, the king's assistant, to help them. Then they asked for peace, because their country received its food from the king's country.
فَفِي يَوْمٍ مُعَيَّنٍ لَبِسَ هِيرُودُسُ ٱلْحُلَّةَ ٱلْمُلُوكِيَّةَ، وَجَلَسَ عَلَى كُرْسِيِّ ٱلْمُلْكِ وَجَعَلَ يُخَاطِبُهُمْ. ٢١ 21
On a set day Herod dressed himself in royal clothing and sat on a throne; he made a speech to them.
فَصَرَخَ ٱلشَّعْبُ: «هَذَا صَوْتُ إِلَهٍ لَا صَوْتُ إِنْسَانٍ!». ٢٢ 22
The people shouted, “This is the voice of a god, not of a man!”
فَفِي ٱلْحَالِ ضَرَبَهُ مَلَاكُ ٱلرَّبِّ لِأَنَّهُ لَمْ يُعْطِ ٱلْمَجْدَ لِلهِ، فَصَارَ يَأْكُلُهُ ٱلدُّودُ وَمَاتَ. ٢٣ 23
Immediately an angel of the Lord struck him, because he did not give God the glory; he was eaten by worms and died.
وَأَمَّا كَلِمَةُ ٱللهِ فَكَانَتْ تَنْمُو وَتَزِيدُ. ٢٤ 24
But the word of God increased and multiplied.
وَرَجَعَ بَرْنَابَا وَشَاوُلُ مِنْ أُورُشَلِيمَ بَعْدَ مَا كَمَّلَا ٱلْخِدْمَةَ، وَأَخَذَا مَعَهُمَا يُوحَنَّا ٱلْمُلَقَّبَ مَرْقُسَ. ٢٥ 25
So when Barnabas and Saul had completed their mission, they returned from Jerusalem, bringing with them John, also called Mark.
