أعمال 27
| فَلَمَّا ٱسْتَقَرَّ ٱلرَّأْيُ أَنْ نُسَافِرَ فِي ٱلْبَحْرِ إِلَى إِيطَالِيَا، سَلَّمُوا بُولُسَ وَأَسْرَى آخَرِينَ إِلَى قَائِدِ مِئَةٍ مِنْ كَتِيبَةِ أُوغُسْطُسَ ٱسْمُهُ يُولِيُوسُ. | ١ 1 |
NOW as it was determined that we should sail for Italy, they delivered Paul and certain other prisoners to a centurion named Julius, of the Augustan cohort.
| فَصَعِدْنَا إِلَى سَفِينَةٍ أَدْرَامِيتِينِيَّةٍ، وَأَقْلَعْنَا مُزْمِعِينَ أَنْ نُسَافِرَ مَارِّينَ بِٱلْمَوَاضِعِ ٱلَّتِي فِي أَسِيَّا. وَكَانَ مَعَنَا أَرِسْتَرْخُسُ، رَجُلٌ مَكِدُونِيٌّ مِنْ تَسَالُونِيكِي. | ٢ 2 |
And embarking in a ship of Adrymittium, ready to sail for the coast of Asia, we proceeded on our voyage, Aristarchus a Macedonian of Thessalonica, being with us.
| وَفِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلْآخَرِ أَقْبَلْنَا إِلَى صَيْدَاءَ، فَعَامَلَ يُولِيُوسُ بُولُسَ بِٱلرِّفْقِ، وَأَذِنَ أَنْ يَذْهَبَ إِلَى أَصْدِقَائِهِ لِيَحْصُلَ عَلَى عِنَايَةٍ مِنْهُمْ. | ٣ 3 |
And the next day we arrived at Sidon: and Julius treated Paul with the greatest humanity, and permitted him to go to his friends, to enjoy the benefit of their care.
| ثُمَّ أَقْلَعْنَا مِنْ هُنَاكَ وَسَافَرْنَا فِي ٱلْبَحْرِ مِنْ تَحْتِ قُبْرُسَ، لِأَنَّ ٱلرِّيَاحَ كَانَتْ مُضَادَّةً. | ٤ 4 |
And taking our departure from thence, we sailed under Cyprus, because the winds were contrary.
| وَبَعْدَ مَا عَبَرْنَا ٱلْبَحْرَ ٱلَّذِي بِجَانِبِ كِيلِيكِيَّةَ وَبَمْفِيلِيَّةَ، نَزَلْنَا إِلَى مِيرَا لِيكِيَّةَ. | ٥ 5 |
And traversing the sea opposite to Cilicia and Pamphylia, we arrived at Myra, a city of Lycia.
| فَإِذْ وَجَدَ قَائِدُ ٱلْمِئَةِ هُنَاكَ سَفِينَةً إِسْكَنْدَرِيَّةً مُسَافِرَةً إِلَى إِيطَالِيَا أَدْخَلَنَا فِيهَا. | ٦ 6 |
And the centurion finding there a ship of Alexandria bound for Italy, he put us on board of it.
| وَلَمَّا كُنَّا نُسَافِرُ رُوَيْدًا أَيَّامًا كَثِيرَةً، وَبِٱلْجَهْدِ صِرْنَا بِقُرْبِ كِنِيدُسَ، وَلَمْ تُمَكِّنَّا ٱلرِّيحُ أَكْثَرَ، سَافَرْنَا مِنْ تَحْتِ كِرِيتَ بِقُرْبِ سَلْمُونِي. | ٧ 7 |
Then for many days making very slow way, and scarce reaching over against Knidos, the wind not favouring us, we coasted Crete, opposite Cape Salmone:
| وَلَمَّا تَجَاوَزْنَاهَا بِٱلْجَهْدِ جِئْنَا إِلَى مَكَانٍ يُقَالُ لَهُ «ٱلْمَوَانِي ٱلْحَسَنَةُ» ٱلَّتِي بِقُرْبِهَا مَدِينَةُ لَسَائِيَةَ. | ٨ 8 |
and weathering it with difficulty, we came to a certain place called, The fair havens; near to which is the city Lasea.
| وَلَمَّا مَضَى زَمَانٌ طَوِيلٌ، وَصَارَ ٱلسَّفَرُ فِي ٱلْبَحْرِ خَطِرًا، إِذْ كَانَ ٱلصَّوْمُ أَيْضًا قَدْ مَضَى، جَعَلَ بُولُسُ يُنْذِرُهُمْ | ٩ 9 |
And much time being consumed, and sailing now becoming dangerous, because the fast was already past, Paul admonished them,
| قَائِلًا: «أَيُّهَا ٱلرِّجَالُ، أَنَا أَرَى أَنَّ هَذَا ٱلسَّفَرَ عَتِيدٌ أَنْ يَكُونَ بِضَرَرٍ وَخَسَارَةٍ كَثِيرَةٍ، لَيْسَ لِلشَّحْنِ وَٱلسَّفِينَةِ فَقَطْ، بَلْ لِأَنْفُسِنَا أَيْضًا». | ١٠ 10 |
saying unto them, Sirs, I perceive that this voyage will be attended with much damage and loss, not only of the cargo and of the ship, but danger of our lives also.
| وَلَكِنْ كَانَ قَائِدُ ٱلْمِئَةِ يَنْقَادُ إِلَى رُبَّانِ ٱلسَّفِينَةِ وَإِلَى صَاحِبِهَا أَكْثَرَ مِمَّا إِلَى قَوْلِ بُولُسَ. | ١١ 11 |
But the centurion paid more attention to the master and to the pilot than to the things which were spoken by Paul.
| وَلِأَنَّ ٱلْمِينَا لَمْ يَكُنْ مَوْقِعُهَا صَالِحًا لِلْمَشْتَى، ٱسْتَقَرَّ رَأْيُ أَكْثَرِهِمْ أَنْ يُقْلِعُوا مِنْ هُنَاكَ أَيْضًا، عَسَى أَنْ يُمْكِنَهُمُ ٱلْإِقْبَالُ إِلَى فِينِكْسَ لِيَشْتُوا فِيهَا. وَهِيَ مِينَا فِي كِرِيتَ تَنْظُرُ نَحْوَ ٱلْجَنُوبِ وَٱلشَّمَالِ ٱلْغَرْبِيَّيْنِ. | ١٢ 12 |
And the harbour not being well situated for a winter station, the greater part advised to sail from thence, if they possibly could reach as far as Phenice to pass the winter, a harbour open to the south-west and north-west.
| فَلَمَّا نَسَّمَتْ رِيحٌ جَنُوبٌ، ظَنُّوا أَنَّهُمْ قَدْ مَلَكُوا مَقْصَدَهُمْ، فَرَفَعُوا ٱلْمِرْسَاةَ وَطَفِقُوا يَتَجَاوَزُونَ كِرِيتَ عَلَى أَكْثَرِ قُرْبٍ. | ١٣ 13 |
So when the south wind blew softly, supposing they had obtained their purpose, they weighed anchor, and kept near the coast of Crete.
| وَلَكِنْ بَعْدَ قَلِيلٍ هَاجَتْ عَلَيْهَا رِيحٌ زَوْبَعِيَّةٌ يُقَالُ لَهَا «أُورُوكْلِيدُونُ». | ١٤ 14 |
But not long after a hurricane wind, called Euroclydon, drove us towards the island,
| فَلَمَّا خُطِفَتِ ٱلسَّفِينَةُ وَلَمْ يُمْكِنْهَا أَنْ تُقَابِلَ ٱلرِّيحَ، سَلَّمْنَا، فَصِرْنَا نُحْمَلُ. | ١٥ 15 |
and the ship becoming ungovernable, and unable to bear up in the eye of the wind, we gave up the attempt, and let her drive.
| فَجَرَيْنَا تَحْتَ جَزِيرَةٍ يُقَالُ لَهَا «كَلَوْدِي» وَبِٱلْجَهْدِ قَدِرْنَا أَنْ نَمْلِكَ ٱلْقَارِبَ. | ١٦ 16 |
And running under a little island called Clauda, it was with difficulty we were able to come at the boat:
| وَلَمَّا رَفَعُوهُ طَفِقُوا يَسْتَعْمِلُونَ مَعُونَاتٍ، حَازِمِينَ ٱلسَّفِينَةَ، وَإِذْ كَانُوا خَائِفِينَ أَنْ يَقَعُوا فِي ٱلسِّيرْتِسِ، أَنْزَلُوا ٱلْقُلُوعَ، وَهَكَذَا كَانُوا يُحْمَلُونَ. | ١٧ 17 |
which when they had hoisted out, they used all helps, carrying ropes round the ship’s bottom; and fearing lest they should run on the quick-sands, they lowered the mast, and so were driven.
| وَإِذْ كُنَّا فِي نَوْءٍ عَنِيفٍ، جَعَلُوا يُفَرِّغُونَ فِي ٱلْغَدِ. | ١٨ 18 |
And being exceedingly tossed with the storm, we the next day threw out the cargo.
| وَفِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلثَّالِثِ رَمَيْنَا بِأَيْدِينَا أَثَاثَ ٱلسَّفِينَةِ. | ١٩ 19 |
And the third day with our own hands we threw overboard the tackling of the vessel.
| وَإِذْ لَمْ تَكُنِ ٱلشَّمْسُ وَلَا ٱلنُّجُومُ تَظْهَرُ أَيَّامًا كَثِيرَةً، وَٱشْتَدَّ عَلَيْنَا نَوْءٌ لَيْسَ بِقَلِيلٍ، ٱنْتُزِعَ أَخِيرًا كُلُّ رَجَاءٍ فِي نَجَاتِنَا. | ٢٠ 20 |
So when neither sun nor stars had appeared for many days, and no small tempest beating on us, all hope of our being preserved was entirely taken from us.
| فَلَمَّا حَصَلَ صَوْمٌ كَثِيرٌ، حِينَئِذٍ وَقَفَ بُولُسُ فِي وَسْطِهِمْ وَقَالَ: «كَانَ يَنْبَغِي أَيُّهَا ٱلرِّجَالُ أَنْ تُذْعِنُوا لِي، وَلَا تُقْلِعُوا مِنْ كِرِيتَ، فَتَسْلَمُوا مِنْ هَذَا ٱلضَّرَرِ وَٱلْخَسَارَةِ. | ٢١ 21 |
Now after being a long while without food, then stood up Paul in the midst of them, and said, Ye ought, my friends, to have been persuaded by me, and not have sailed from Crete, and got this loss and damage.
| وَٱلْآنَ أُنْذِرُكُمْ أَنْ تُسَرُّوا، لِأَنَّهُ لَا تَكُونُ خَسَارَةُ نَفْسٍ وَاحِدَةٍ مِنْكُمْ، إِلَّا ٱلسَّفِينَةَ. | ٢٢ 22 |
Yet even now I exhort you to be of good courage: for there shall be no loss of life among you, but only of the ship.
| لِأَنَّهُ وَقَفَ بِي هَذِهِ ٱللَّيْلَةَ مَلَاكُ ٱلْإِلَهِ ٱلَّذِي أَنَا لَهُ وَٱلَّذِي أَعْبُدُهُ، | ٢٣ 23 |
For there stood by me this night an angel of God, whose I am, and whom I serve,
| قَائِلًا: لَا تَخَفْ يَا بُولُسُ. يَنْبَغِي لَكَ أَنْ تَقِفَ أَمَامَ قَيْصَرَ. وَهُوَذَا قَدْ وَهَبَكَ ٱللهُ جَمِيعَ ٱلْمُسَافِرِينَ مَعَكَ. | ٢٤ 24 |
saying, Fear not, Paul; thou must stand before Caesar: and behold! God hath graciously given thee all who are sailing with thee.
| لِذَلِكَ سُرُّوا أَيُّهَا ٱلرِّجَالُ، لِأَنِّي أُومِنُ بِٱللهِ أَنَّهُ يَكُونُ هَكَذَا كَمَا قِيلَ لِي. | ٢٥ 25 |
Wherefore, sirs, cheer up: for I believe God that it will be so, exactly as he hath spoken to me.
| وَلَكِنْ لَا بُدَّ أَنْ نَقَعَ عَلَى جَزِيرَةٍ». | ٢٦ 26 |
But we must be cast on a certain island.
| فَلَمَّا كَانَتِ ٱللَّيْلَةُ ٱلرَّابِعَةَ عَشْرَةَ، وَنَحْنُ نُحْمَلُ تَائِهِينَ فِي بَحْرِ أَدْرِيَا، ظَنَّ ٱلنُّوتِيَّةُ، نَحْوَ نِصْفِ ٱللَّيْلِ، أَنَّهُمُ ٱقْتَرَبُوا إِلَى بَرٍّ. | ٢٧ 27 |
Now as the fourteenth night was passing, whilst we were driving about in the Adriatic sea, about midnight the sailors imagined that some land was near to them:
| فَقَاسُوا وَوَجَدُوا عِشْرِينَ قَامَةً. وَلَمَّا مَضَوْا قَلِيلًا قَاسُوا أَيْضًا فَوَجَدُوا خَمْسَ عَشْرَةَ قَامَةً. | ٢٨ 28 |
and sounding, had twenty fathoms; then passing on a little farther, and sounding again, they had fifteen fathoms.
| وَإِذْ كَانُوا يَخَافُونَ أَنْ يَقَعُوا عَلَى مَوَاضِعَ صَعْبَةٍ، رَمَوْا مِنَ ٱلْمُؤَخَّرِ أَرْبَعَ مَرَاسٍ، وَكَانُوا يَطْلُبُونَ أَنْ يَصِيرَ ٱلنَّهَارُ. | ٢٩ 29 |
And fearing lest they might run on some rocky coast, they cast out four anchors astern, and wished eagerly for the day to break.
| وَلَمَّا كَانَ ٱلنُّوتِيَّةُ يَطْلُبُونَ أَنْ يَهْرُبُوا مِنَ ٱلسَّفِينَةِ، وَأَنْزَلُوا ٱلْقَارِبَ إِلَى ٱلْبَحْرِ بِعِلَّةِ أَنَّهُمْ مُزْمِعُونَ أَنْ يَمُدُّوا مَرَاسِيَ مِنَ ٱلْمُقَدَّمِ، | ٣٠ 30 |
Now as the sailors were seeking to escape out of the ship, and had hoisted out the boat into the sea, under pretence as if they were going to carry out anchors a-head,
| قَالَ بُولُسُ لِقَائِدِ ٱلْمِئَةِ وَٱلْعَسْكَرِ: «إِنْ لَمْ يَبْقَ هَؤُلَاءِ فِي ٱلسَّفِينَةِ فَأَنْتُمْ لَا تَقْدِرُونَ أَنْ تَنْجُوا». | ٣١ 31 |
Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, Except these men abide in the ship, ye cannot be preserved.
| حِينَئِذٍ قَطَعَ ٱلْعَسْكَرُ حِبَالَ ٱلْقَارِبِ وَتَرَكُوهُ يَسْقُطُ. | ٣٢ 32 |
Then the soldiers cut off the ropes of the boat, and let her fall off.
| وَحَتَّى قَارَبَ أَنْ يَصِيرَ ٱلنَّهَارُ كَانَ بُولُسُ يَطْلُبُ إِلَى ٱلْجَمِيعِ أَنْ يَتَنَاوَلُوا طَعَامًا، قَائِلًا: «هَذَا هُوَ ٱلْيَوْمُ ٱلرَّابِعَ عَشَرَ، وَأَنْتُمْ مُنْتَظِرُونَ لَا تَزَالُونَ صَائِمِينَ، وَلَمْ تَأْخُذُوا شَيْئًا. | ٣٣ 33 |
And while they waited until the day should break, Paul exhorted them all to take some nourishment, saying, To day, expecting the fourteenth day, ye are continuing without food, taking nothing.
| لِذَلِكَ أَلْتَمِسُ مِنْكُمْ أَنْ تَتَنَاوَلُوا طَعَامًا، لِأَنَّ هَذَا يَكُونُ مُفِيدًا لِنَجَاتِكُمْ، لِأَنَّهُ لَا تَسْقُطُ شَعْرَةٌ مِنْ رَأْسِ وَاحِدٍ مِنْكُمْ». | ٣٤ 34 |
Wherefore I exhort you to take some food, for this is for your preservation: for a hair shall not fall from the head of any one of you.
| وَلَمَّا قَالَ هَذَا أَخَذَ خُبْزًا وَشَكَرَ ٱللهَ أَمَامَ ٱلْجَمِيعِ، وَكَسَّرَ، وَٱبْتَدَأَ يَأْكُلُ. | ٣٥ 35 |
And so saying, and taking a loaf, he gave thanks to God before them all, and breaking it, began to eat.
| فَصَارَ ٱلْجَمِيعُ مَسْرُورِينَ وَأَخَذُوا هُمْ أَيْضًا طَعَامًا. | ٣٦ 36 |
Then were they all cheered up, and they too took refreshment.
| وَكُنَّا فِي ٱلسَّفِينَةِ جَمِيعُ ٱلْأَنْفُسِ مِئَتَيْنِ وَسِتَّةً وَسَبْعِينَ. | ٣٧ 37 |
Now all the souls which were in the ship amounted to two hundred seventy-six:
| وَلَمَّا شَبِعُوا مِنَ ٱلطَّعَامِ طَفِقُوا يُخَفِّفُونَ ٱلسَّفِينَةَ طَارِحِينَ ٱلْحِنْطَةَ فِي ٱلْبَحْرِ. | ٣٨ 38 |
and having made a hearty meal, they lightened the vessel, throwing the wheat into the sea.
| وَلَمَّا صَارَ ٱلنَّهَارُ لَمْ يَكُونُوا يَعْرِفُونَ ٱلْأَرْضَ، وَلَكِنَّهُمْ أَبْصَرُوا خَلِيجًا لَهُ شَاطِئٌ، فَأَجْمَعُوا أَنْ يَدْفَعُوا إِلَيْهِ ٱلسَّفِينَةَ إِنْ أَمْكَنَهُمْ. | ٣٩ 39 |
And when the day broke, they knew not the land: but they observed a certain creek with a beach, into which they resolved, if they could, to run the vessel aground.
| فَلَمَّا نَزَعُوا ٱلْمَرَاسِيَ تَارِكِينَ إِيَّاهَا فِي ٱلْبَحْرِ، وَحَلُّوا رُبُطَ ٱلدَّفَّةِ أَيْضًا، رَفَعُوا قِلْعًا لِلرِّيحِ ٱلْهَابَّةِ، وَأَقْبَلُوا إِلَى ٱلشَّاطِئِ. | ٤٠ 40 |
And weighing the anchors, they committed her to the sea, and loosing at the same time the chains of the rudders, and hoisting the foresail to the breeze, they made for the beach.
| وَإِذْ وَقَعُوا عَلَى مَوْضِعٍ بَيْنَ بَحْرَيْنِ، شَطَّطُوا ٱلسَّفِينَةَ، فَٱرْتَكَزَ ٱلْمُقَدَّمُ وَلَبِثَ لَا يَتَحَرَّكُ. وَأَمَّا ٱلْمُؤَخَّرُ فَكَانَ يَنْحَلُّ مِنْ عُنْفِ ٱلْأَمْوَاجِ. | ٤١ 41 |
But falling on a shoal where two currents met, they ran the ship aground; and the forecastle stuck fast, and remained immoveable, but the stern was stove in by the violence of the waves.
| فَكَانَ رَأْيُ ٱلْعَسْكَرِ أَنْ يَقْتُلُوا ٱلْأَسْرَى لِئَلَّا يَسْبَحَ أَحَدٌ مِنْهُمْ فَيَهْرُبَ. | ٤٢ 42 |
Then the soldiers’ design was to have murdered the prisoners, lest any of them should swim ashore and escape.
| وَلَكِنَّ قَائِدَ ٱلْمِئَةِ، إِذْ كَانَ يُرِيدُ أَنْ يُخَلِّصَ بُولُسَ، مَنَعَهُمْ مِنْ هَذَا ٱلرَّأْيِ، وَأَمَرَ أَنَّ ٱلْقَادِرِينَ عَلَى ٱلسِّبَاحَةِ يَرْمُونَ أَنْفُسَهُمْ أَوَّلًا فَيَخْرُجُونَ إِلَى ٱلْبَرِّ، | ٤٣ 43 |
But the centurion, desirous to preserve Paul, withheld them from their purpose, and commanded those who were able to swim to jump overboard first, and reach the land:
| وَٱلْبَاقِينَ بَعْضُهُمْ عَلَى أَلْوَاحٍ وَبَعْضُهُمْ عَلَى قِطَعٍ مِنَ ٱلسَّفِينَةِ. فَهَكَذَا حَدَثَ أَنَّ ٱلْجَمِيعَ نَجَوْا إِلَى ٱلْبَرِّ. | ٤٤ 44 |
and that the rest should make the attempt, some on planks, and some on the floating materials of the ship: and in this manner so it was that they all safely reached the shore.
