أعمال 24

١ 1 وَبَعْدَ خَمْسَةِ أَيَّامٍ ٱنْحَدَرَ حَنَانِيَّا رَئِيسُ ٱلْكَهَنَةِ مَعَ ٱلشُّيُوخِ وَخَطِيبٍ ٱسْمُهُ تَرْتُلُّسُ. فَعَرَضُوا لِلْوَالِي ضِدَّ بُولُسَ.

After then five days came down the high priest Ananias with (of the *k) elders (some *NO) and an orator Tertullus certain, who made a representation to the governor against Paul.

٢ 2 فَلَمَّا دُعِيَ، ٱبْتَدَأَ تَرْتُلُّسُ فِي ٱلشِّكَايَةِ قَائِلًا:

When was invited then he began to accuse Tertullus saying; Great peace we are attaining through you and (excellent reforms *N+KO) are being done to the nation this [one] through your foresight

٣ 3 «إِنَّنَا حَاصِلُونَ بِوَاسِطَتِكَ عَلَى سَلَامٍ جَزِيلٍ، وَقَدْ صَارَتْ لِهَذِهِ ٱلْأُمَّةِ مَصَالِحُ بِتَدْبِيرِكَ. فَنَقْبَلُ ذَلِكَ أَيُّهَا ٱلْعَزِيزُ فِيلِكْسُ بِكُلِّ شُكْرٍ فِي كُلِّ زَمَانٍ وَكُلِّ مَكَانٍ.

in every way both and everywhere we gladly accept [it], most excellent Felix, with all thankfulness.

٤ 4 وَلَكِنْ لِئَلَّا أُعَوِّقَكَ أَكْثَرَ، أَلْتَمِسُ أَنْ تَسْمَعَنَا بِٱلِٱخْتِصَارِ بِحِلْمِكَ:

In order that however not to any longer you I may be a hindrance, I implore to hear you us briefly in your kindness.

٥ 5 فَإِنَّنَا إِذْ وَجَدْنَا هَذَا ٱلرَّجُلَ مُفْسِدًا وَمُهَيِّجَ فِتْنَةٍ بَيْنَ جَمِيعِ ٱلْيَهُودِ ٱلَّذِينَ فِي ٱلْمَسْكُونَةِ، وَمِقْدَامَ شِيعَةِ ٱلنَّاصِرِيِّينَ،

Having found for man this a pest and stirring (insurrections *N+KO) among all the Jews in the world a leader then of the of the Nazarenes sect;

٦ 6 وَقَدْ شَرَعَ أَنْ يُنَجِّسَ ٱلْهَيْكَلَ أَيْضًا، أَمْسَكْنَاهُ وَأَرَدْنَا أَنْ نَحْكُمَ عَلَيْهِ حَسَبَ نَامُوسِنَا.

who even the temple attempted to profane, whom also we seized (and according to our own law we wanted to judge. *K)

٧ 7 فَأَقْبَلَ لِيسِيَاسُ ٱلْأَمِيرُ بِعُنْفٍ شَدِيدٍ وَأَخَذَهُ مِنْ بَيْنِ أَيْدِينَا،

(having come up now Lysias the commander with great violence from the hands of us being carried away, *K)

٨ 8 وَأَمَرَ ٱلْمُشْتَكِينَ عَلَيْهِ أَنْ يَأْتُوا إِلَيْكَ. وَمِنْهُ يُمْكِنُكَ إِذَا فَحَصْتَ أَنْ تَعْلَمَ جَمِيعَ هَذِهِ ٱلْأُمُورِ ٱلَّتِي نَشْتَكِي بِهَا عَلَيْهِ».

(having commanded the accusers of him to come upon you; *K) From him you will be able yourself having examined [him] concerning all these things to know of which we ourselves accuse him.

٩ 9 ثُمَّ وَافَقَهُ ٱلْيَهُودُ أَيْضًا قَائِلِينَ: «إِنَّ هَذِهِ ٱلْأُمُورَ هَكَذَا».

(Agreed *N+kO) then also the Jews declaring these things so to be.

١٠ 10 فَأَجَابَ بُولُسُ، إِذْ أَوْمَأَ إِلَيْهِ ٱلْوَالِي أَنْ يَتَكَلَّمَ: «إِنِّي إِذْ قَدْ عَلِمْتُ أَنَّكَ مُنْذُ سِنِينَ كَثِيرَةٍ قَاضٍ لِهَذِهِ ٱلْأُمَّةِ، أَحْتَجُّ عَمَّا فِي أَمْرِي بِأَكْثَرِ سُرُورٍ.

Answered (then *N+kO) Paul, when was signalling to him the governor to speak: For many years as being you judge to nation this knowing [these] encouraging things, concerning myself I present a defense;

١١ 11 وَأَنْتَ قَادِرٌ أَنْ تَعْرِفَ أَنَّهُ لَيْسَ لِي أَكْثَرُ مِنِ ٱثْنَيْ عَشَرَ يَوْمًا مُنْذُ صَعِدْتُ لِأَسْجُدَ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ.

Being able you (to know *N+kO) that not more there are to me days (than *k) (twelve *N+kO) from which I went up to then worship (in *N+kO) Jerusalem;

١٢ 12 وَلَمْ يَجِدُونِي فِي ٱلْهَيْكَلِ أُحَاجُّ أَحَدًا أَوْ أَصْنَعُ تَجَمُّعًا مِنَ ٱلشَّعْبِ، وَلَا فِي ٱلْمَجَامِعِ وَلَا فِي ٱلْمَدِينَةِ.

And neither in the temple did they find me with anyone reasoning or (obstruction *N+kO) making of a crowd nor in the synagogues nor in the city;

١٣ 13 وَلَا يَسْتَطِيعُونَ أَنْ يُثْبِتُوا مَا يَشْتَكُونَ بِهِ ٱلْآنَ عَلَيَّ.

(nor *N+kO) to prove are they able (to you *N+KO) concerning [the things] of which (now *N+kO) they accuse me.

١٤ 14 وَلَكِنَّنِي أُقِرُّ لَكَ بِهَذَا: أَنَّنِي حَسَبَ ٱلطَّرِيقِ ٱلَّذِي يَقُولُونَ لَهُ «شِيعَةٌ»، هَكَذَا أَعْبُدُ إِلَهَ آبَائِي، مُؤْمِنًا بِكُلِّ مَا هُوَ مَكْتُوبٌ فِي ٱلنَّامُوسِ وَٱلْأَنْبِيَاءِ.

I confess however this to you that according to the Way which they name a sect so I serve the ancestral God believing in all [things] throughout the law and (that in *no) the Prophets written,

١٥ 15 وَلِي رَجَاءٌ بِٱللهِ فِي مَا هُمْ أَيْضًا يَنْتَظِرُونَهُ: أَنَّهُ سَوْفَ تَكُونُ قِيَامَةٌ لِلْأَمْوَاتِ، ٱلْأَبْرَارِ وَٱلْأَثَمَةِ.

a hope having in God which also they themselves await, [that] a resurrection to ensue to then be (of [the] dead-*K) of [the] just both and of [the] unjust;

١٦ 16 لِذَلِكَ أَنَا أَيْضًا أُدَرِّبُ نَفْسِي لِيَكُونَ لِي دَائِمًا ضَمِيرٌ بِلَا عَثْرَةٍ مِنْ نَحْوِ ٱللهِ وَٱلنَّاسِ.

In this (also *N+kO) I myself strive without offense a conscience (to have *NK+o) toward God and men (through *N+KO) (all [times]. *N+kO)

١٧ 17 وَبَعْدَ سِنِينَ كَثِيرَةٍ جِئْتُ أَصْنَعُ صَدَقَاتٍ لِأُمَّتِي وَقَرَابِينَ.

After years now many alms to then bring to the nation of mine I came and offerings,

١٨ 18 وَفِي ذَلِكَ وَجَدَنِي مُتَطَهِّرًا فِي ٱلْهَيْكَلِ، لَيْسَ مَعَ جَمْعٍ وَلَا مَعَ شَغَبٍ، قَوْمٌ هُمْ يَهُودٌ مِنْ أَسِيَّا،

during (which *N+kO) they found me purified in the temple not with a crowd nor in tumult, Some however [are] from Asia Jews

١٩ 19 كَانَ يَنْبَغِي أَنْ يَحْضُرُوا لَدَيْكَ وَيَشْتَكُوا، إِنْ كَانَ لَهُمْ عَلَيَّ شَيْءٌ.

who (it was necessary *N+kO) before you to appear and to make accusation, if anything they would have against me myself.

٢٠ 20 أَوْ لِيَقُلْ هَؤُلَاءِ أَنْفُسُهُمْ مَاذَا وَجَدُوا فِيَّ مِنَ ٱلذَّنْبِ وَأَنَا قَائِمٌ أَمَامَ ٱلْمَجْمَعِ،

Otherwise themselves it they should say (if *k) any they found (in me myself *ko) unrighteousness when was standing I before the Council,

٢١ 21 إِلَّا مِنْ جِهَةِ هَذَا ٱلْقَوْلِ ٱلْوَاحِدِ ٱلَّذِي صَرَخْتُ بِهِ وَاقِفًا بَيْنَهُمْ: أَنِّي مِنْ أَجْلِ قِيَامَةِ ٱلْأَمْوَاتِ أُحَاكَمُ مِنْكُمُ ٱلْيَوْمَ».

[other] than concerning one this voice which I cried out among them standing that Concerning [the] resurrection of [the] dead I myself am judged this day (by *N+kO) you.

٢٢ 22 فَلَمَّا سَمِعَ هَذَا فِيلِكْسُ أَمْهَلَهُمْ، إِذْ كَانَ يَعْلَمُ بِأَكْثَرِ تَحْقِيقٍ أُمُورَ هَذَا ٱلطَّرِيقِ، قَائِلًا: «مَتَى ٱنْحَدَرَ لِيسِيَاسُ ٱلْأَمِيرُ أَفْحَصُ عَنْ أُمُورِكُمْ».

(having heard these things *K) deferred then them Felix more precisely knowing the [things] concerning the Way having said; When Lysias the commander may have come down, I will examine the [things] as to you.

٢٣ 23 وَأَمَرَ قَائِدَ ٱلْمِئَةِ أَنْ يُحْرَسَ بُولُسُ، وَتَكُونَ لَهُ رُخْصَةٌ، وَأَنْ لَا يَمْنَعَ أَحَدًا مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ أَنْ يَخْدِمَهُ أَوْ يَأْتِيَ إِلَيْهِ.

having commanded (also *k) to the centurion to keep (him, *N+KO) to [let him] have then ease and not to forbid the private [friends] of him to minister (or to come near *K) to him.

٢٤ 24 ثُمَّ بَعْدَ أَيَّامٍ جَاءَ فِيلِكْسُ مَعَ دُرُوسِّلَا ٱمْرَأَتِهِ، وَهِيَ يَهُودِيَّةٌ. فَٱسْتَحْضَرَ بُولُسَ وَسَمِعَ مِنْهُ عَنِ ٱلْإِيمَانِ بِٱلْمَسِيحِ.

After then days some having arrived Felix with Drusilla the (own *N+kO) wife being a Jewess he sent for Paul and heard him concerning the in Christ (Jesus *NO) faith.

٢٥ 25 وَبَيْنَمَا كَانَ يَتَكَلَّمُ عَنِ ٱلْبِرِّ وَٱلتَّعَفُّفِ وَٱلدَّيْنُونَةِ ٱلْعَتِيدَةِ أَنْ تَكُونَ، ٱرْتَعَبَ فِيلِكْسُ، وَأَجَابَ: «أَمَّا ٱلْآنَ فَٱذْهَبْ، وَمَتَى حَصَلْتُ عَلَى وَقْتٍ أَسْتَدْعِيكَ».

When reasoning then he concerning righteousness and self-control and the judgment which is coming (to be [in the future] *K) frightened having become Felix answered; For the present being do go away; opportunity then having found I will call for you;

٢٦ 26 وَكَانَ أَيْضًا يَرْجُو أَنْ يُعْطِيَهُ بُولُسُ دَرَاهِمَ لِيُطْلِقَهُ، وَلِذَلِكَ كَانَ يَسْتَحْضِرُهُ مِرَارًا أَكْثَرَ وَيَتَكَلَّمُ مَعَهُ.

At the same time (now *k) also he is hoping that riches will be given to him by Paul (so that may release him *K) Therefore also often him sending for he was talking with him.

٢٧ 27 وَلَكِنْ لَمَّا كَمِلَتْ سَنَتَانِ، قَبِلَ فِيلِكْسُ بُورْكِيُوسَ فَسْتُوسَ خَلِيفَةً لَهُ. وَإِذْ كَانَ فِيلِكْسُ يُرِيدُ أَنْ يُودِعَ ٱلْيَهُودَ مِنَّةً، تَرَكَ بُولُسَ مُقَيَّدًا.

When two years however having been completed he received [as] successor Felix Porcius Festus, wishing then (favor *N+kO) to acquire for himself with the Jews Felix left Paul imprisoned.
