أعمال 19
| فَحَدَثَ فِيمَا كَانَ أَبُلُّوسُ فِي كُورِنْثُوسَ، أَنَّ بُولُسَ بَعْدَ مَا ٱجْتَازَ فِي ٱلنَّوَاحِي ٱلْعَالِيَةِ جَاءَ إِلَى أَفَسُسَ. فَإِذْ وَجَدَ تَلَامِيذَ | ١ 1 |
And it came to pass while Apollos was at Corinth, for Paul, having passed through the upper regions, to come to Ephesus. And having found some disciples,
| قَالَ لَهُمْ: «هَلْ قَبِلْتُمُ ٱلرُّوحَ ٱلْقُدُسَ لَمَّا آمَنْتُمْ؟». قَالُوا لَهُ: «وَلَا سَمِعْنَا أَنَّهُ يُوجَدُ ٱلرُّوحُ ٱلْقُدُسُ». | ٢ 2 |
he said to them, Did ye receive the Holy Spirit when ye believed? And they said to him, But we have not even heard if there is a Holy Spirit.
| فَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «فَبِمَاذَا ٱعْتَمَدْتُمْ؟». فَقَالُوا: «بِمَعْمُودِيَّةِ يُوحَنَّا». | ٣ 3 |
And he said to them, Into what then were ye immersed? And they said, Into John's immersion.
| فَقَالَ بُولُسُ: «إِنَّ يُوحَنَّا عَمَّدَ بِمَعْمُودِيَّةِ ٱلتَّوْبَةِ، قَائِلًا لِلشَّعْبِ أَنْ يُؤْمِنُوا بِالَّذِي يَأْتِي بَعْدَهُ، أَيْ بِٱلْمَسِيحِ يَسُوعَ». | ٤ 4 |
And Paul said, John indeed immersed an immersion of repentance, saying to the people that they should believe in him who was coming after him, that is, in Jesus, the Christ.
| فَلَمَّا سَمِعُوا ٱعْتَمَدُوا بِٱسْمِ ٱلرَّبِّ يَسُوعَ. | ٥ 5 |
And when they heard this, they were immersed in the name of the Lord Jesus.
| وَلَمَّا وَضَعَ بُولُسُ يَدَيْهِ عَلَيْهِمْ حَلَّ ٱلرُّوحُ ٱلْقُدُسُ عَلَيْهِمْ، فَطَفِقُوا يَتَكَلَّمُونَ بِلُغَاتٍ وَيَتَنَبَّأُونَ. | ٦ 6 |
And Paul having laid hands on them, the Holy Spirit came on them, and they spoke in tongues, and prophesied.
| وَكَانَ جَمِيعُ ٱلرِّجَالِ نَحْوَ ٱثْنَيْ عَشَرَ. | ٧ 7 |
And all the men were about twelve.
| ثُمَّ دَخَلَ ٱلْمَجْمَعَ، وَكَانَ يُجَاهِرُ مُدَّةَ ثَلَاثَةِ أَشْهُرٍ مُحَاجًّا وَمُقْنِعًا فِي مَا يَخْتَصُّ بِمَلَكُوتِ ٱللهِ. | ٨ 8 |
And after entering into the synagogue, he spoke boldly for three months, discoursing and persuading the things about the kingdom of God.
| وَلَمَّا كَانَ قَوْمٌ يَتَقَسَّوْنَ وَلَا يَقْنَعُونَ، شَاتِمِينَ ٱلطَّرِيقَ أَمَامَ ٱلْجُمْهُورِ، ٱعْتَزَلَ عَنْهُمْ وَأَفْرَزَ ٱلتَّلَامِيذَ، مُحَاجًّا كُلَّ يَوْمٍ فِي مَدْرَسَةِ إِنْسَانٍ ٱسْمُهُ تِيرَانُّسُ. | ٩ 9 |
But when some were hardened and disobedient, speaking evil of the Way before the multitude, having withdrawn from them, he separated the disciples, discoursing daily in the school of a certain Tyrannus.
| وَكَانَ ذَلِكَ مُدَّةَ سَنَتَيْنِ، حَتَّى سَمِعَ كَلِمَةَ ٱلرَّبِّ يَسُوعَ جَمِيعُ ٱلسَّاكِنِينَ فِي أَسِيَّا، مِنْ يَهُودٍ وَيُونَانِيِّينَ. | ١٠ 10 |
And this happened for two years, so as for all those dwelling in Asia to hear the word of the Lord Jesus, both Jews and Greeks.
| وَكَانَ ٱللهُ يَصْنَعُ عَلَى يَدَيْ بُولُسَ قُوَّاتٍ غَيْرَ ٱلْمُعْتَادَةِ، | ١١ 11 |
And God was doing extraordinary miracles by the hands of Paul,
| حَتَّى كَانَ يُؤْتَى عَنْ جَسَدِهِ بِمَنَادِيلَ أَوْ مَآزِرَ إِلَى ٱلْمَرْضَى، فَتَزُولُ عَنْهُمُ ٱلْأَمْرَاضُ، وَتَخْرُجُ ٱلْأَرْوَاحُ ٱلشِّرِّيرَةُ مِنْهُمْ. | ١٢ 12 |
so as to even bring handkerchiefs or aprons from his skin to those who were incapacitated and to free their infirmities from them, and the evil spirits to go out from them.
| فَشَرَعَ قَوْمٌ مِنَ ٱلْيَهُودِ ٱلطَّوَّافِينَ ٱلْمُعَزِّمِينَ أَنْ يُسَمُّوا عَلَى ٱلَّذِينَ بِهِمِ ٱلْأَرْوَاحُ ٱلشِّرِّيرَةُ بِٱسْمِ ٱلرَّبِّ يَسُوعَ، قَائِلِينَ: «نُقْسِمُ عَلَيْكَ بِيَسُوعَ ٱلَّذِي يَكْرِزُ بِهِ بُولُسُ!». | ١٣ 13 |
But some of the wandering Jewish exorcists, attempted to name the name of the Lord Jesus over those who had the evil spirits, saying, We adjure you by Jesus whom Paul proclaims.
| وَكَانَ سَبْعَةُ بَنِينَ لِسَكَاوَا، رَجُلٍ يَهُودِيٍّ رَئِيسِ كَهَنَةٍ، ٱلَّذِينَ فَعَلُوا هَذَا. | ١٤ 14 |
And there were some sons of Sceva, a Jewish chief priest, seven doing this.
| فَأَجَابَ ٱلرُّوحُ ٱلشِّرِّيرُ وَقَالَ: «أَمَّا يَسُوعُ فَأَنَا أَعْرِفُهُ، وَبُولُسُ أَنَا أَعْلَمُهُ، وَأَمَّا أَنْتُمْ فَمَنْ أَنْتُمْ؟» | ١٥ 15 |
And having answered, the evil spirit said, I know Jesus and I recognize Paul, but who are ye?
| فَوَثَبَ عَلَيْهِمُ ٱلْإِنْسَانُ ٱلَّذِي كَانَ فِيهِ ٱلرُّوحُ ٱلشِّرِّيرُ، وَغَلَبَهُمْ وَقَوِيَ عَلَيْهِمْ، حَتَّى هَرَبُوا مِنْ ذَلِكَ ٱلْبَيْتِ عُرَاةً وَمُجَرَّحِينَ. | ١٦ 16 |
And the man in whom was the evil spirit, leaping on them, and having overpowered them, he prevailed against them, so as for them to flee out of that house naked and wounded.
| وَصَارَ هَذَا مَعْلُومًا عِنْدَ جَمِيعِ ٱلْيَهُودِ وَٱلْيُونَانِيِّينَ ٱلسَّاكِنِينَ فِي أَفَسُسَ. فَوَقَعَ خَوْفٌ عَلَى جَمِيعِهِمْ، وَكَانَ ٱسْمُ ٱلرَّبِّ يَسُوعَ يَتَعَظَّمُ. | ١٧ 17 |
And this became known to all, both Jews and Greeks, to those who dwell at Ephesus. And fear fell upon them all, and the name of the Lord Jesus was magnified.
| وَكَانَ كَثِيرُونَ مِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ آمَنُوا يَأْتُونَ مُقِرِّينَ وَمُخْبِرِينَ بِأَفْعَالِهِمْ، | ١٨ 18 |
And many of those who have believed came, confessing, and reporting their practices.
| وَكَانَ كَثِيرُونَ مِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ يَسْتَعْمِلُونَ ٱلسِّحْرَ يَجْمَعُونَ ٱلْكُتُبَ وَيُحَرِّقُونَهَا أَمَامَ ٱلْجَمِيعِ. وَحَسَبُوا أَثْمَانَهَا فَوَجَدُوهَا خَمْسِينَ أَلْفًا مِنَ ٱلْفِضَّةِ. | ١٩ 19 |
And a considerable number of those who practiced magical things, having brought their books together, burned them in the sight of all. And they counted the price of them, and found it fifty thousand pieces of silver.
| هَكَذَا كَانَتْ كَلِمَةُ ٱلرَّبِّ تَنْمُو وَتَقْوَى بِشِدَّةٍ. | ٢٠ 20 |
Thus the word of the Lord was growing mightily and was prevailing.
| وَلَمَّا كَمِلَتْ هَذِهِ ٱلْأُمُورُ، وَضَعَ بُولُسُ فِي نَفْسِهِ أَنَّهُ بَعْدَمَا يَجْتَازُ فِي مَكِدُونِيَّةَ وَأَخَائِيَةَ يَذْهَبُ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ، قَائِلًا: «إِنِّي بَعْدَ مَا أَصِيرُ هُنَاكَ يَنْبَغِي أَنْ أَرَى رُومِيَةَ أَيْضًا». | ٢١ 21 |
Now when these things were fulfilled, Paul decided in the spirit, after passing through Macedonia and Achaia, to go to Jerusalem, having said, After becoming there, I must also see Rome.
| فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَى مَكِدُونِيَّةَ ٱثْنَيْنِ مِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَانُوا يَخْدِمُونَهُ: تِيمُوثَاوُسَ وَأَرَسْطُوسَ، وَلَبِثَ هُوَ زَمَانًا فِي أَسِيَّا. | ٢٢ 22 |
And having sent into Macedonia two of those who help him, Timothy and Erastus, he himself stayed in Asia for a while.
| وَحَدَثَ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْوَقْتِ شَغَبٌ لَيْسَ بِقَلِيلٍ بِسَبَبِ هَذَا ٱلطَّرِيقِ، | ٢٣ 23 |
And about that time there developed no small stir about the Way.
| لِأَنَّ إِنْسَانًا ٱسْمُهُ دِيمِتْرِيُوسُ، صَائِغٌ صَانِعُ هَيَاكِلِ فِضَّةٍ لِأَرْطَامِيسَ، كَانَ يُكَسِّبُ ٱلصُّنَّاعَ مَكْسَبًا لَيْسَ بِقَلِيلٍ. | ٢٤ 24 |
For a certain silversmith named Demetrius who makes silver shrines of Artemis, brought no little work to the craftsmen,
| فَجَمَعَهُمْ وَٱلْفَعَلَةَ فِي مِثْلِ ذَلِكَ ٱلْعَمَلِ وَقَالَ: «أَيُّهَا ٱلرِّجَالُ أَنْتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ أَنَّ سِعَتَنَا إِنَّمَا هِيَ مِنْ هَذِهِ ٱلصِّنَاعَةِ. | ٢٥ 25 |
to whom also (having assembled the workmen about such things) he said, Men, ye know that our prosperity is from this work.
| وَأَنْتُمْ تَنْظُرُونَ وَتَسْمَعُونَ أَنَّهُ لَيْسَ مِنْ أَفَسُسَ فَقَطْ، بَلْ مِنْ جَمِيعِ أَسِيَّا تَقْرِيبًا، ٱسْتَمَالَ وَأَزَاغَ بُولُسُ هَذَا جَمْعًا كَثِيرًا قَائِلًا: إِنَّ ٱلَّتِي تُصْنَعُ بِٱلْأَيَادِي لَيْسَتْ آلِهَةً. | ٢٦ 26 |
And ye see and hear, that not only at Ephesus, but almost in all Asia, this man Paul, having persuaded them, turned away a considerable multitude, saying that there are no gods made by hands.
| فَلَيْسَ نَصِيبُنَا هَذَا وَحْدَهُ فِي خَطَرٍ مِنْ أَنْ يَحْصُلَ فِي إِهَانَةٍ، بَلْ أَيْضًا هَيْكَلُ أَرْطَامِيسَ، ٱلْإِلَهَةِ ٱلْعَظِيمَةِ، أَنْ يُحْسَبَ لَا شَيْءَ، وَأَنْ سَوْفَ تُهْدَمُ عَظَمَتُهَا، هِيَ ٱلَّتِي يَعْبُدُهَا جَمِيعُ أَسِيَّا وَٱلْمَسْكُونَةِ». | ٢٧ 27 |
And not only is this our part liable to come into disrepute, but also the temple of the great goddess Artemis is going to be regarded for nothing, and also her magnificence be destroyed, whom all Asia and the world worship.
| فَلَمَّا سَمِعُوا ٱمْتَلَأُوا غَضَبًا، وَطَفِقُوا يَصْرُخُونَ قَائِلِينَ: «عَظِيمَةٌ هِيَ أَرْطَامِيسُ ٱلْأَفَسُسِيِّينَ!». | ٢٨ 28 |
And when they heard this, having become full of wrath, they cried out, saying, The great Artemis of Ephesians.
| فَٱمْتَلَأَتِ ٱلْمَدِينَةُ كُلُّهَا ٱضْطِرَابًا، وَٱنْدَفَعُوا بِنَفْسٍ وَاحِدَةٍ إِلَى ٱلْمَشْهَدِ خَاطِفِينَ مَعَهُمْ غَايُوسَ وَأَرِسْتَرْخُسَ ٱلْمَكِدُونِيَّيْنِ، رَفِيقَيْ بُولُسَ فِي ٱلسَّفَرِ. | ٢٩ 29 |
And the whole city was filled with the confusion. And they rushed with one accord into the theatre, having seized Gaius and Aristarchus, Macedonians, traveling companions of Paul.
| وَلَمَّا كَانَ بُولُسُ يُرِيدُ أَنْ يَدْخُلَ بَيْنَ ٱلشَّعْبِ، لَمْ يَدَعْهُ ٱلتَّلَامِيذُ. | ٣٠ 30 |
And when Paul wanted to enter in to the crowd, the disciples did not let him.
| وَأُنَاسٌ مِنْ وُجُوهِ أَسِيَّا، كَانُوا أَصْدِقَاءَهُ، أَرْسَلُوا يَطْلُبُونَ إِلَيْهِ أَنْ لَا يُسَلِّمَ نَفْسَهُ إِلَى ٱلْمَشْهَدِ. | ٣١ 31 |
And also some of the Asian officers, being their friends, having sent to him, implored him not to give himself into the theatre.
| وَكَانَ ٱلْبَعْضُ يَصْرُخُونَ بِشَيْءٍ وَٱلْبَعْضُ بِشَيْءٍ آخَرَ، لِأَنَّ ٱلْمَحْفِلَ كَانَ مُضْطَرِبًا، وَأَكْثَرُهُمْ لَا يَدْرُونَ لِأَيِّ شَيْءٍ كَانُوا قَدِ ٱجْتَمَعُوا! | ٣٢ 32 |
Indeed therefore some cried out one thing, some another, for the assembly was confused, and most had not seen why they had come together.
| فَٱجْتَذَبُوا إِسْكَنْدَرَ مِنَ ٱلْجَمْعِ، وَكَانَ ٱلْيَهُودُ يَدْفَعُونَهُ. فَأَشَارَ إِسْكَنْدَرُ بِيَدِهِ يُرِيدُ أَنْ يَحْتَجَّ لِلشَّعْبِ. | ٣٣ 33 |
And they urged forward Alexander out of the multitude, having put him forward from the Jews. And Alexander having waved his hand, wanted to make a defense to the crowd.
| فَلَمَّا عَرَفُوا أَنَّهُ يَهُودِيٌّ، صَارَ صَوْتٌ وَاحِدٌ مِنَ ٱلْجَمِيعِ صَارِخِينَ نَحْوَ مُدَّةِ سَاعَتَيْنِ: «عَظِيمَةٌ هِيَ أَرْطَامِيسُ ٱلْأَفَسُسِيِّينَ!». | ٣٤ 34 |
But after recognizing that he was a Jew, one voice developed from them all, crying out for about two hours, The great Artemis of Ephesians.
| ثُمَّ سَكَّنَ ٱلْكَاتِبُ ٱلْجَمْعَ وَقَالَ: «أَيُّهَا ٱلرِّجَالُ ٱلْأَفَسُسِيُّونَ، مَنْ هُوَ ٱلْإِنْسَانُ ٱلَّذِي لَا يَعْلَمُ أَنَّ مَدِينَةَ ٱلْأَفَسُسِيِّينَ مُتَعَبِّدَةٌ لِأَرْطَامِيسَ ٱلْإِلَهَةِ ٱلْعَظِيمَةِ وَٱلتِّمْثَالِ ٱلَّذِي هَبَطَ مِنْ زَفْسَ؟ | ٣٥ 35 |
And when the town clerk calmed the multitude, he says, Ephesian men, now who is the man who does not know the city of the Ephesians being temple-guardian of the great goddess Artemis, and of what fell from Zeus?
| فَإِذْ كَانَتْ هَذِهِ ٱلْأَشْيَاءُ لَا تُقَاوَمُ، يَنْبَغِي أَنْ تَكُونُوا هَادِئِينَ وَلَا تَفْعَلُوا شَيْئًا ٱقْتِحَامًا. | ٣٦ 36 |
Therefore these things being undeniable, ye ought to be restrained, and do nothing rash.
| لِأَنَّكُمْ أَتَيْتُمْ بِهَذَيْنِ ٱلرَّجُلَيْنِ، وَهُمَا لَيْسَا سَارِقَيْ هَيَاكِلَ، وَلَا مُجَدِّفَيْنِ عَلَى إِلَهَتِكُمْ. | ٣٧ 37 |
For ye brought these men, who are neither sacrilegious nor blaspheming your goddess.
| فَإِنْ كَانَ دِيمِتْرِيُوسُ وَٱلصُّنَّاعُ ٱلَّذِينَ مَعَهُ لَهُمْ دَعْوَى عَلَى أَحَدٍ، فَإِنَّهُ تُقَامُ أَيَّامٌ لِلْقَضَاءِ، وَيُوجَدُ وُلَاةٌ، فَلْيُرَافِعُوا بَعْضُهُمْ بَعْضًا. | ٣٨ 38 |
Indeed therefore if Demetrius, and the craftsmen with him, have a matter against any man, forums are brought, and there are proconsuls. Let them accuse each other.
| وَإِنْ كُنْتُمْ تَطْلُبُونَ شَيْئًا مِنْ جِهَةِ أُمُورٍ أُخَرَ، فَإِنَّهُ يُقْضَى فِي مَحْفِلٍ شَرْعِيٍّ. | ٣٩ 39 |
And if ye seek anything about other things, it will be decided in the assembly within law.
| لِأَنَّنَا فِي خَطَرٍ أَنْ نُحَاكَمَ مِنْ أَجْلِ فِتْنَةِ هَذَا ٱلْيَوْمِ. وَلَيْسَ عِلَّةٌ يُمْكِنُنَا مِنْ أَجْلِهَا أَنْ نُقَدِّمَ حِسَابًا عَنْ هَذَا ٱلتَّجَمُّعِ». | ٤٠ 40 |
For we are also in danger to be accused about the uproar today, there being no cause about which we can give account of this commotion.
| وَلَمَّا قَالَ هَذَا صَرَفَ ٱلْمَحْفِلَ. | ٤١ 41 |
And having said these things, he dismissed the assembly.
