أعمال 2
| وَلَمَّا حَضَرَ يَوْمُ ٱلْخَمْسِينَ كَانَ ٱلْجَمِيعُ مَعًا بِنَفْسٍ وَاحِدَةٍ، | ١ 1 |
In the course of the Festival at the close of the Harvest the disciples had all met together,
| وَصَارَ بَغْتَةً مِنَ ٱلسَّمَاءِ صَوْتٌ كَمَا مِنْ هُبُوبِ رِيحٍ عَاصِفَةٍ وَمَلَأَ كُلَّ ٱلْبَيْتِ حَيْثُ كَانُوا جَالِسِينَ، | ٢ 2 |
when suddenly there came from the heavens a noise like a strong wind rushing by; it filled the whole house in which they were sitting.
| وَظَهَرَتْ لَهُمْ أَلْسِنَةٌ مُنْقَسِمَةٌ كَأَنَّهَا مِنْ نَارٍ وَٱسْتَقَرَّتْ عَلَى كُلِّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمْ. | ٣ 3 |
Then there appeared tongues of what seemed to be flame, separating, so that one settled on each of them;
| وَٱمْتَلَأَ ٱلْجَمِيعُ مِنَ ٱلرُّوحِ ٱلْقُدُسِ، وَٱبْتَدَأُوا يَتَكَلَّمُونَ بِأَلْسِنَةٍ أُخْرَى كَمَا أَعْطَاهُمُ ٱلرُّوحُ أَنْ يَنْطِقُوا. | ٤ 4 |
and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and began to speak in different languages as the Spirit prompted their utterances.
| وَكَانَ يَهُودٌ رِجَالٌ أَتْقِيَاءُ مِنْ كُلِّ أُمَّةٍ تَحْتَ ٱلسَّمَاءِ سَاكِنِينَ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ. | ٥ 5 |
Now there were then staying in Jerusalem religious Jews from every country in the world;
| فَلَمَّا صَارَ هَذَا ٱلصَّوْتُ، ٱجْتَمَعَ ٱلْجُمْهُورُ وَتَحَيَّرُوا، لِأَنَّ كُلَّ وَاحِدٍ كَانَ يَسْمَعُهُمْ يَتَكَلَّمُونَ بِلُغَتِهِ. | ٦ 6 |
and, when this sound was heard, numbers of people collected, in the greatest excitement, because each of them heard the disciples speaking in his own language.
| فَبُهِتَ ٱلْجَمِيعُ وَتَعَجَّبُوا قَائِلِينَ بَعْضُهُمْ لِبَعْضٍ: «أَتُرَى لَيْسَ جَمِيعُ هَؤُلَاءِ ٱلْمُتَكَلِّمِينَ جَلِيلِيِّينَ؟ | ٧ 7 |
They were utterly amazed, and kept asking in astonishment, ‘What! Are not all these people who are speaking Galileans?
| فَكَيْفَ نَسْمَعُ نَحْنُ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مِنَّا لُغَتَهُ ٱلَّتِي وُلِدَ فِيهَا؟ | ٨ 8 |
Then how is it that we each of us hear them in our own language?
| فَرْتِيُّونَ وَمَادِيُّونَ وَعِيلَامِيُّونَ، وَٱلسَّاكِنُونَ مَا بَيْنَ ٱلنَّهْرَيْنِ، وَٱلْيَهُودِيَّةَ وَكَبَّدُوكِيَّةَ وَبُنْتُسَ وَأَسِيَّا | ٩ 9 |
Some of us are Parthians, some Medes, some Elamites; and some of us live in Mesopotamia, in Judea and Cappadocia, in Pontus and Roman Asia,
| وَفَرِيجِيَّةَ وَبَمْفِيلِيَّةَ وَمِصْرَ، وَنَوَاحِيَ لِيبِيَّةَ ٱلَّتِي نَحْوَ ٱلْقَيْرَوَانِ، وَٱلرُّومَانِيُّونَ ٱلْمُسْتَوْطِنُونَ يَهُودٌ وَدُخَلَاءُ، | ١٠ 10 |
in Phrygia and Pamphylia, in Egypt and the districts of Libya adjoining Cyrene; some of us are visitors from Rome,
| كِرِيتِيُّونَ وَعَرَبٌ، نَسْمَعُهُمْ يَتَكَلَّمُونَ بِأَلْسِنَتِنَا بِعَظَائِمِ ٱللهِ!». | ١١ 11 |
either Jews by birth or converts, and some are Cretans and Arabians – yet we all alike hear them speaking in our own languages of the great things that God has done.’
| فَتَحَيَّرَ ٱلْجَمِيعُ وَٱرْتَابُوا قَائِلِينَ بَعْضُهُمْ لِبَعْضٍ: «مَا عَسَى أَنْ يَكُونَ هَذَا؟». | ١٢ 12 |
They were all utterly amazed and bewildered. ‘What does it mean?’ they asked one another.
| وَكَانَ آخَرُونَ يَسْتَهْزِئُونَ قَائِلِينَ: «إِنَّهُمْ قَدِ ٱمْتَلَأُوا سُلَافَةً». | ١٣ 13 |
But there were some who said with a sneer, ‘They have had too much new wine.’
| فَوَقَفَ بُطْرُسُ مَعَ ٱلْأَحَدَ عَشَرَ وَرَفَعَ صَوْتَهُ وَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «أَيُّهَا ٱلرِّجَالُ ٱلْيَهُودُ وَٱلسَّاكِنُونَ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ أَجْمَعُونَ، لِيَكُنْ هَذَا مَعْلُومًا عِنْدَكُمْ وَأَصْغُوا إِلَى كَلَامِي، | ١٤ 14 |
Then Peter, surrounded by the eleven other apostles, stood up, and, raising his voice, addressed the crowd. ‘People of Judea,’ he began, ‘and all you who are staying in Jerusalem, let me tell you what this means. Mark well my words.
| لِأَنَّ هَؤُلَاءِ لَيْسُوا سُكَارَى كَمَا أَنْتُمْ تَظُنُّونَ، لِأَنَّهَا ٱلسَّاعَةُ ٱلثَّالِثَةُ مِنَ ٱلنَّهَارِ. | ١٥ 15 |
These people are not drunk, as you suppose; for it is only now nine in the morning! No!
| بَلْ هَذَا مَا قِيلَ بِيُوئِيلَ ٱلنَّبِيِّ: | ١٦ 16 |
This is what is spoken of in the prophet Joel –
| يَقُولُ ٱللهُ: وَيَكُونُ فِي ٱلْأَيَّامِ ٱلْأَخِيرَةِ أَنِّي أَسْكُبُ مِنْ رُوحِي عَلَى كُلِّ بَشَرٍ، فَيَتَنَبَّأُ بَنُوكُمْ وَبَنَاتُكُمْ، وَيَرَى شَبَابُكُمْ رُؤًى وَيَحْلُمُ شُيُوخُكُمْ أَحْلَامًا. | ١٧ 17 |
“It will come about in the last days,” God says, “That I will pour out my Spirit on all humanity; your sons and your daughters will become prophets, your young men will see visions, and your old men dream dreams;
| وَعَلَى عَبِيدِي أَيْضًا وَإِمَائِي أَسْكُبُ مِنْ رُوحِي فِي تِلْكَ ٱلْأَيَّامِ فَيَتَنَبَّأُونَ. | ١٨ 18 |
yes, even on the slaves – for they are mine – both men and women, I will in those days pour out my Spirit, and they will become prophets;
| وَأُعْطِي عَجَائِبَ فِي ٱلسَّمَاءِ مِنْ فَوْقُ وَآيَاتٍ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ مِنْ أَسْفَلُ: دَمًا وَنَارًا وَبُخَارَ دُخَانٍ. | ١٩ 19 |
and I will show wonders in the heavens above, and signs on the earth below – blood and fire and mist of smoke;
| تَتَحَوَّلُ ٱلشَّمْسُ إِلَى ظُلْمَةٍ وَٱلْقَمَرُ إِلَى دَمٍ، قَبْلَ أَنْ يَجِيءَ يَوْمُ ٱلرَّبِّ ٱلْعَظِيمُ ٱلشَّهِيرُ. | ٢٠ 20 |
the sun will become darkness, and the moon blood-red, before the day of the Lord comes – that great and awful day.
| وَيَكُونُ كُلُّ مَنْ يَدْعُو بِٱسْمِ ٱلرَّبِّ يَخْلُصُ. | ٢١ 21 |
Then will everyone who invokes the name of the Lord be saved.”
| «أَيُّهَا ٱلرِّجَالُ ٱلْإِسْرَائِيلِيُّونَ ٱسْمَعُوا هَذِهِ ٱلْأَقْوَالَ: يَسُوعُ ٱلنَّاصِرِيُّ رَجُلٌ قَدْ تَبَرْهَنَ لَكُمْ مِنْ قِبَلِ ٱللهِ بِقُوَّاتٍ وَعَجَائِبَ وَآيَاتٍ صَنَعَهَا ٱللهُ بِيَدِهِ فِي وَسْطِكُمْ، كَمَا أَنْتُمْ أَيْضًا تَعْلَمُونَ. | ٢٢ 22 |
People of Israel, listen to what I am saying. Jesus of Nazareth, a man whose mission from God to you was proved by miracles, wonders, and signs, which God showed among you through him, as you know full well –
| هَذَا أَخَذْتُمُوهُ مُسَلَّمًا بِمَشُورَةِ ٱللهِ ٱلْمَحْتُومَةِ وَعِلْمِهِ ٱلسَّابِقِ، وَبِأَيْدِي أَثَمَةٍ صَلَبْتُمُوهُ وَقَتَلْتُمُوهُ. | ٢٣ 23 |
he, I say, in accordance with God’s definite plan and with his previous knowledge, was betrayed, and you, by the hands of lawless men, nailed him to a cross and put him to death.
| اَلَّذِي أَقَامَهُ ٱللهُ نَاقِضًا أَوْجَاعَ ٱلْمَوْتِ، إِذْ لَمْ يَكُنْ مُمْكِنًا أَنْ يُمْسَكَ مِنْهُ. | ٢٤ 24 |
But God released him from the pangs of death and raised him to life, it being impossible for death to retain its hold on him.
| لِأَنَّ دَاوُدَ يَقُولُ فِيهِ: كُنْتُ أَرَى ٱلرَّبَّ أَمَامِي فِي كُلِّ حِينٍ، أَنَّهُ عَنْ يَمِينِي، لِكَيْ لَا أَتَزَعْزَعَ. | ٢٥ 25 |
Indeed he was the one David was referring to when he said – “I have had the Lord ever before my eyes, for he stands at my right hand, so that I should not be disquieted.
| لِذَلِكَ سُرَّ قَلْبِي وَتَهَلَّلَ لِسَانِي. حَتَّى جَسَدِي أَيْضًا سَيَسْكُنُ عَلَى رَجَاءٍ. | ٢٦ 26 |
Therefore my heart was cheered, and my tongue told its delight; yes, even my body, too, will rest in hope;
| لِأَنَّكَ لَنْ تَتْرُكَ نَفْسِي فِي ٱلْهَاوِيَةِ وَلَا تَدَعَ قُدُّوسَكَ يَرَى فَسَادًا. (Hadēs g86) | ٢٧ 27 |
For you will not abandon my soul to Hades, nor surrender me, your holy one, to undergo corruption. (Hadēs g86)
| عَرَّفْتَنِي سُبُلَ ٱلْحَيَاةِ وَسَتَمْلَأُنِي سُرُورًا مَعَ وَجْهِكَ. | ٢٨ 28 |
You have shown me the path to life, you will fill me with gladness in your presence.”
| أَيُّهَا ٱلرِّجَالُ ٱلْإِخْوَةُ، يَسُوغُ أَنْ يُقَالَ لَكُمْ جِهَارًا عَنْ رَئِيسِ ٱلْآبَاءِ دَاوُدَ إِنَّهُ مَاتَ وَدُفِنَ، وَقَبْرُهُ عِنْدَنَا حَتَّى هَذَا ٱلْيَوْمِ. | ٢٩ 29 |
Friends, I can speak to you the more confidently about the patriarch David, because he is dead and buried, and his tomb is here among us to this very day.
| فَإِذْ كَانَ نَبِيًّا، وَعَلِمَ أَنَّ ٱللهَ حَلَفَ لَهُ بِقَسَمٍ أَنَّهُ مِنْ ثَمَرَةِ صُلْبِهِ يُقِيمُ ٱلْمَسِيحَ حَسَبَ ٱلْجَسَدِ لِيَجْلِسَ عَلَى كُرْسِيِّهِ، | ٣٠ 30 |
David, then, prophet as he was, knowing that God had solemnly sworn to him to set one of his descendants on his throne, looked into the future,
| سَبَقَ فَرَأَى وَتَكَلَّمَ عَنْ قِيَامَةِ ٱلْمَسِيحِ، أَنَّهُ لَمْ تُتْرَكْ نَفْسُهُ فِي ٱلْهَاوِيَةِ وَلَا رَأَى جَسَدُهُ فَسَادًا. (Hadēs g86) | ٣١ 31 |
and referred to the resurrection of the Christ when he said that he had not been abandoned to Hades, nor had his body undergone corruption. (Hadēs g86)
| فَيَسُوعُ هَذَا أَقَامَهُ ٱللهُ، وَنَحْنُ جَمِيعًا شُهُودٌ لِذَلِكَ. | ٣٢ 32 |
It was this Jesus, whom God raised to life; and of that we are ourselves all witnesses.
| وَإِذِ ٱرْتَفَعَ بِيَمِينِ ٱللهِ، وَأَخَذَ مَوْعِدَ ٱلرُّوحِ ٱلْقُدُسِ مِنَ ٱلْآبِ، سَكَبَ هَذَا ٱلَّذِي أَنْتُمُ ٱلْآنَ تُبْصِرُونَهُ وَتَسْمَعُونَهُ. | ٣٣ 33 |
And now that he has been exalted to the right hand of God, and has received from the Father the promised gift of the Holy Spirit, he has begun to pour out that gift, as you yourselves now see and hear.
| لِأَنَّ دَاوُدَ لَمْ يَصْعَدْ إِلَى ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ. وَهُوَ نَفْسُهُ يَقُولُ: قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِرَبِّي: ٱجْلِسْ عَنْ يَمِينِي | ٣٤ 34 |
It was not David who went up into heaven; for he himself says – “The Lord said to my master, ‘Sit on my right hand,
| حَتَّى أَضَعَ أَعْدَاءَكَ مَوْطِئًا لِقَدَمَيْكَ. | ٣٥ 35 |
Until I put your enemies as a footstool under your feet.’”
| فَلْيَعْلَمْ يَقِينًا جَمِيعُ بَيْتِ إِسْرَائِيلَ أَنَّ ٱللهَ جَعَلَ يَسُوعَ هَذَا، ٱلَّذِي صَلَبْتُمُوهُ أَنْتُمْ، رَبًّا وَمَسِيحًا». | ٣٦ 36 |
So let the whole nation of Israel know beyond all doubt, that God has made him both Lord and Christ – this Jesus whom you crucified.’
| فَلَمَّا سَمِعُوا نُخِسُوا فِي قُلُوبِهِمْ، وَقَالُوا لِبُطْرُسَ وَلِسَائِرِ ٱلرُّسُلِ: «مَاذَا نَصْنَعُ أَيُّهَا ٱلرِّجَالُ ٱلْإِخْوَةُ؟». | ٣٧ 37 |
When the people heard this, they were conscience-smitten, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, ‘Friends, what can we do?’
| فَقَالَ لَهُمْ بُطْرُسُ: «تُوبُوا وَلْيَعْتَمِدْ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْكُمْ عَلَى ٱسْمِ يَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ لِغُفْرَانِ ٱلْخَطَايَا، فَتَقْبَلُوا عَطِيَّةَ ٱلرُّوحِ ٱلْقُدُسِ. | ٣٨ 38 |
‘Repent,’ answered Peter, ‘and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins; and then you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
| لِأَنَّ ٱلْمَوْعِدَ هُوَ لَكُمْ وَلِأَوْلَادِكُمْ وَلِكُلِّ ٱلَّذِينَ عَلَى بُعْدٍ، كُلِّ مَنْ يَدْعُوهُ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُنَا». | ٣٩ 39 |
For the promise is for you and for your children, and also for all those now far away, who may be called by the Lord our God.’
| وَبِأَقْوَالٍ أُخَرَ كَثِيرَةٍ كَانَ يَشْهَدُ لَهُمْ وَيَعِظُهُمْ قَائِلًا: «ٱخْلُصُوا مِنْ هَذَا ٱلْجِيلِ ٱلْمُلْتَوِي». | ٤٠ 40 |
Peter spoke to them for a long time using many other arguments and pleaded with them – ‘Save yourselves from the perverse spirit of this age.’
| فَقَبِلُوا كَلَامَهُ بِفَرَحٍ، وَٱعْتَمَدُوا، وَٱنْضَمَّ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ نَحْوُ ثَلَاثَةِ آلَافِ نَفْسٍ. | ٤١ 41 |
So those who accepted his teaching were baptized, and about three thousand people joined the disciples on that day alone.
| وَكَانُوا يُواظِبُونَ عَلَى تَعْلِيمِ ٱلرُّسُلِ، وَٱلشَّرِكَةِ، وَكَسْرِ ٱلْخُبْزِ، وَٱلصَّلَوَاتِ. | ٤٢ 42 |
They devoted themselves to the teaching of the apostles and to the Common life of the church, to the breaking of the bread and to the Prayers.
| وَصَارَ خَوْفٌ فِي كُلِّ نَفْسٍ. وَكَانَتْ عَجَائِبُ وَآيَاتٌ كَثِيرَةٌ تُجْرَى عَلَى أَيْدِي ٱلرُّسُلِ. | ٤٣ 43 |
A deep impression was made on everyone, and many wonders and signs were done at the hands of the apostles.
| وَجَمِيعُ ٱلَّذِينَ آمَنُوا كَانُوا مَعًا، وَكَانَ عِنْدَهُمْ كُلُّ شَيْءٍ مُشْتَرَكًا. | ٤٤ 44 |
All who became believers in Christ held everything for the common use;
| وَٱلْأَمْلَاكُ وَٱلْمُقْتَنَيَاتُ كَانُوا يَبِيعُونَهَا وَيَقْسِمُونَهَا بَيْنَ ٱلْجَمِيعِ، كَمَا يَكُونُ لِكُلِّ وَاحِدٍ ٱحْتِيَاجٌ. | ٤٥ 45 |
they sold their property and their goods, and shared the proceeds among them all, according to their individual needs.
| وَكَانُوا كُلَّ يَوْمٍ يُواظِبُونَ فِي ٱلْهَيْكَلِ بِنَفْسٍ وَاحِدَةٍ. وَإِذْ هُمْ يَكْسِرُونَ ٱلْخُبْزَ فِي ٱلْبُيُوتِ، كَانُوا يَتَنَاوَلُونَ ٱلطَّعَامَ بِٱبْتِهَاجٍ وَبَسَاطَةِ قَلْبٍ، | ٤٦ 46 |
Every day they devoted themselves to meeting together in the Temple Courts, and to the breaking of bread at their homes, while they partook of their food in simple-hearted gladness, praising God, and winning the goodwill of all the people.
| مُسَبِّحِينَ ٱللهَ، وَلَهُمْ نِعْمَةٌ لَدَى جَمِيعِ ٱلشَّعْبِ. وَكَانَ ٱلرَّبُّ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ يَضُمُّ إِلَى ٱلْكَنِيسَةِ ٱلَّذِينَ يَخْلُصُونَ. | ٤٧ 47 |
And the Lord daily added to their company those who were in the path of salvation.
