أعمال 21
| وَلَمَّا ٱنْفَصَلْنَا عَنْهُمْ أَقْلَعْنَا وَجِئْنَا مُتَوَجِّهِينَ بِٱلِٱسْتِقَامَةِ إِلَى كُوسَ، وَفِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلتَّالِي إِلَى رُودُسَ، وَمِنْ هُنَاكَ إِلَى بَاتَرَا. | ١ 1 |
When we had gone away from them and set sail, we took a straight course to the city of Cos, and the next day to the city of Rhodes, and from there to the city of Patara.
| فَإِذْ وَجَدْنَا سَفِينَةً عَابِرَةً إِلَى فِينِيقِيَةَ صَعِدْنَا إِلَيْهَا وَأَقْلَعْنَا. | ٢ 2 |
When we found a ship crossing over to Phoenicia, we went aboard and set sail.
| ثُمَّ ٱطَّلَعْنَا عَلَى قُبْرُسَ، وَتَرَكْنَاهَا يَسْرَةً وَسَافَرْنَا إِلَى سُورِيَّةَ، وَأَقْبَلْنَا إِلَى صُورَ، لِأَنَّ هُنَاكَ كَانَتِ ٱلسَّفِينَةُ تَضَعُ وَسْقَهَا. | ٣ 3 |
After sighting Cyprus, leaving it on the left side of the boat, we sailed on to Syria and landed at Tyre, where the ship was to unload its cargo.
| وَإِذْ وَجَدْنَا ٱلتَّلَامِيذَ مَكَثْنَا هُنَاكَ سَبْعَةَ أَيَّامٍ. وَكَانُوا يَقُولُونَ لِبُولُسَ بِٱلرُّوحِ أَنْ لَا يَصْعَدَ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ. | ٤ 4 |
After we found the disciples, we stayed there seven days. Through the Spirit they kept urging Paul not to go to Jerusalem.
| وَلَكِنْ لَمَّا ٱسْتَكْمَلْنَا ٱلْأَيَّامَ خَرَجْنَا ذَاهِبِينَ، وَهُمْ جَمِيعًا يُشَيِّعُونَنَا، مَعَ ٱلنِّسَاءِ وَٱلْأَوْلَادِ إِلَى خَارِجِ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ. فَجَثَوْنَا عَلَى رُكَبِنَا عَلَى ٱلشَّاطِئِ وَصَلَّيْنَا. | ٥ 5 |
When our days there were over, we left and went on our way, and they all, with their wives and children, accompanied out of the city. Then we knelt down on the beach, prayed,
| وَلَمَّا وَدَّعْنَا بَعْضُنَا بَعْضًا صَعِدْنَا إِلَى ٱلسَّفِينَةِ. وَأَمَّا هُمْ فَرَجَعُوا إِلَى خَاصَّتِهِمْ. | ٦ 6 |
and said farewell to each other. Then we went on board the ship, and they returned home.
| وَلَمَّا أَكْمَلْنَا ٱلسَّفَرَ فِي ٱلْبَحْرِ مِنْ صُورَ، أَقْبَلْنَا إِلَى بُتُولِمَايِسَ، فَسَلَّمْنَا عَلَى ٱلْإِخْوَةِ وَمَكَثْنَا عِنْدَهُمْ يَوْمًا وَاحِدًا. | ٧ 7 |
When we had finished the voyage from Tyre, we arrived at Ptolemais. There we greeted the brothers and stayed with them for one day.
| ثُمَّ خَرَجْنَا فِي ٱلْغَدِ نَحْنُ رُفَقَاءَ بُولُسَ وَجِئْنَا إِلَى قَيْصَرِيَّةَ، فَدَخَلْنَا بَيْتَ فِيلُبُّسَ ٱلْمُبَشِّرِ، إِذْ كَانَ وَاحِدًا مِنَ ٱلسَّبْعَةِ وَأَقَمْنَا عِنْدَهُ. | ٨ 8 |
On the next day we left and went to Caesarea. We entered the house of Philip, the evangelist, who was one of the seven, and we stayed with him.
| وَكَانَ لِهَذَا أَرْبَعُ بَنَاتٍ عَذَارَى كُنَّ يَتَنَبَّأْنَ. | ٩ 9 |
Now this man had four virgin daughters who prophesied.
| وَبَيْنَمَا نَحْنُ مُقِيمُونَ أَيَّامًا كَثِيرَةً، ٱنْحَدَرَ مِنَ ٱلْيَهُودِيَّةِ نَبِيٌّ ٱسْمُهُ أَغَابُوسُ. | ١٠ 10 |
As we stayed there for some days, there came down from Judea a certain prophet named Agabus.
| فَجَاءَ إِلَيْنَا، وَأَخَذَ مِنْطَقَةَ بُولُسَ، وَرَبَطَ يَدَيْ نَفْسِهِ وَرِجْلَيْهِ وَقَالَ: «هَذَا يَقُولُهُ ٱلرُّوحُ ٱلْقُدُسُ: ٱلرَّجُلُ ٱلَّذِي لَهُ هَذِهِ ٱلْمِنْطَقَةُ، هَكَذَا سَيَرْبُطُهُ ٱلْيَهُودُ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ وَيُسَلِّمُونَهُ إِلَى أَيْدِي ٱلْأُمَمِ». | ١١ 11 |
He came to us and took Paul's belt. With it he tied his own feet and hands and said, “Thus says the Holy Spirit, 'So shall the Jews in Jerusalem tie up the man who owns this belt, and they will hand him over into the hands of the Gentiles.'”
| فَلَمَّا سَمِعْنَا هَذَا طَلَبْنَا إِلَيْهِ نَحْنُ وَٱلَّذِينَ مِنَ ٱلْمَكَانِ أَنْ لَا يَصْعَدَ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ. | ١٢ 12 |
When we heard these things, both we and the people who lived in that place begged Paul not to go up to Jerusalem.
| فَأَجَابَ بُولُسُ: «مَاذَا تَفْعَلُونَ؟ تَبْكُونَ وَتَكْسِرُونَ قَلْبِي، لِأَنِّي مُسْتَعِدٌّ لَيْسَ أَنْ أُرْبَطَ فَقَطْ، بَلْ أَنْ أَمُوتَ أَيْضًا فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ لِأَجْلِ ٱسْمِ ٱلرَّبِّ يَسُوعَ». | ١٣ 13 |
Then Paul answered, “What are you doing, weeping and breaking my heart? For I am ready, not only to be tied up, but also to die in Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus.”
| وَلَمَّا لَمْ يُقْنَعْ سَكَتْنَا قَائِلِينَ: «لِتَكُنْ مَشِيئَةُ ٱلرَّبِّ». | ١٤ 14 |
Since Paul did not wish to be persuaded, we stopped trying and said, “May the will of the Lord be done.”
| وَبَعْدَ تِلْكَ ٱلْأَيَّامِ تَأَهَّبْنَا وَصَعِدْنَا إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ. | ١٥ 15 |
After these days, we picked up our bags and went up to Jerusalem.
| وَجَاءَ أَيْضًا مَعَنَا مِنْ قَيْصَرِيَّةَ أُنَاسٌ مِنَ ٱلتَّلَامِيذِ ذَاهِبِينَ بِنَا إِلَى مَنَاسُونَ، وَهُوَ رَجُلٌ قُبْرُسِيٌّ، تِلْمِيذٌ قَدِيمٌ، لِنَنْزِلَ عِنْدَهُ. | ١٦ 16 |
There also went with us some of the disciples from Caesarea. They brought with them a man named Mnason, a man from Cyprus, an early disciple, with whom we would stay.
| وَلَمَّا وَصَلْنَا إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ قَبِلَنَا ٱلْإِخْوَةُ بِفَرَحٍ. | ١٧ 17 |
When we had arrived in Jerusalem, the brothers welcomed us gladly.
| وَفِي ٱلْغَدِ دَخَلَ بُولُسُ مَعَنَا إِلَى يَعْقُوبَ، وَحَضَرَ جَمِيعُ ٱلْمَشَايِخِ. | ١٨ 18 |
The next day Paul went with us to James, and all the elders were present.
| فَبَعْدَ مَا سَلَّمَ عَلَيْهِمْ طَفِقَ يُحَدِّثُهُمْ شَيْئًا فَشَيْئًا بِكُلِّ مَا فَعَلَهُ ٱللهُ بَيْنَ ٱلْأُمَمِ بِوَاسِطَةِ خِدْمَتِهِ. | ١٩ 19 |
When he had greeted them, he reported one by one the things that God had done among the Gentiles through his ministry.
| فَلَمَّا سَمِعُوا كَانُوا يُمَجِّدُونَ ٱلرَّبَّ. وَقَالُوا لَهُ: «أَنْتَ تَرَى أَيُّهَا ٱلْأَخُ كَمْ يُوجَدُ رَبْوَةً مِنَ ٱلْيَهُودِ ٱلَّذِينَ آمَنُوا، وَهُمْ جَمِيعًا غَيُورُونَ لِلنَّامُوسِ. | ٢٠ 20 |
When they heard it, they praised God, and they said to him, “You see, brother, how many thousands have believed among the Jews. They are all determined to keep the law.
| وَقَدْ أُخْبِرُوا عَنْكَ أَنَّكَ تُعَلِّمُ جَمِيعَ ٱلْيَهُودِ ٱلَّذِينَ بَيْنَ ٱلْأُمَمِ ٱلِٱرْتِدَادَ عَنْ مُوسَى، قَائِلًا: أَنْ لَا يَخْتِنُوا أَوْلَادَهُمْ وَلَا يَسْلُكُوا حَسَبَ ٱلْعَوَائِدِ. | ٢١ 21 |
They have been told about you, that you teach all the Jews who live among the Gentiles to abandon Moses, and that you tell them not to circumcise their children, and not to follow the old customs.
| فَإِذًا مَاذَا يَكُونُ؟ لَا بُدَّ عَلَى كُلِّ حَالٍ أَنْ يَجْتَمِعَ ٱلْجُمْهُورُ، لِأَنَّهُمْ سَيَسْمَعُونَ أَنَّكَ قَدْ جِئْتَ. | ٢٢ 22 |
What should we do? They will certainly hear that you have come.
| فَٱفْعَلْ هَذَا ٱلَّذِي نَقُولُ لَكَ: عِنْدَنَا أَرْبَعَةُ رِجَالٍ عَلَيْهِمْ نَذْرٌ. | ٢٣ 23 |
So do what we say to you. We have four men who made a vow.
| خُذْ هَؤُلَاءِ وَتَطهَّرْ مَعَهُمْ وَأَنْفِقْ عَلَيْهِمْ لِيَحْلِقُوا رُؤُوسَهُمْ، فَيَعْلَمَ ٱلْجَمِيعُ أَنْ لَيْسَ شَيْءٌ مِمَّا أُخْبِرُوا عَنْكَ، بَلْ تَسْلُكُ أَنْتَ أَيْضًا حَافِظًا لِلنَّامُوسِ. | ٢٤ 24 |
Take these men and purify yourself with them, and pay their expenses for them, so that they may shave their heads. So everyone will know that the things they have been told about you are false. They will learn that you also follow the law.
| وَأَمَّا مِنْ جِهَةِ ٱلَّذِينَ آمَنُوا مِنَ ٱلْأُمَمِ، فَأَرْسَلْنَا نَحْنُ إِلَيْهِمْ وَحَكَمْنَا أَنْ لَا يَحْفَظُوا شَيْئًا مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ، سِوَى أَنْ يُحَافِظُوا عَلَى أَنْفُسِهِمْ مِمَّا ذُبِحَ لِلْأَصْنَامِ، وَمِنَ ٱلدَّمِ، وَٱلْمَخْنُوقِ، وَٱلزِّنَا». | ٢٥ 25 |
But concerning the Gentiles who have believed, we wrote and gave the instructions that they should keep themselves from things sacrificed to idols, from blood, from what is strangled, and from sexual immorality.”
| حِينَئِذٍ أَخَذَ بُولُسُ ٱلرِّجَالَ فِي ٱلْغَدِ، وَتَطَهَّرَ مَعَهُمْ وَدَخَلَ ٱلْهَيْكَلَ، مُخْبِرًا بِكَمَالِ أَيَّامِ ٱلتَّطْهِيرِ، إِلَى أَنْ يُقَرَّبَ عَنْ كُلِّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمُ ٱلْقُرْبَانُ. | ٢٦ 26 |
Then Paul took the men, and the next day, purifying himself with them, went into the temple, announcing the period of the days of purification, until the offering was offered for every one of them.
| وَلَمَّا قَارَبَتِ ٱلْأَيَّامُ ٱلسَّبْعَةُ أَنْ تَتِمَّ، رَآهُ ٱلْيَهُودُ ٱلَّذِينَ مِنْ أَسِيَّا فِي ٱلْهَيْكَلِ، فَأَهَاجُوا كُلَّ ٱلْجَمْعِ وَأَلْقَوْا عَلَيْهِ ٱلْأَيَادِيَ | ٢٧ 27 |
When the seven days were almost finished, some Jews from Asia, seeing Paul in the temple, stirred up the whole crowd, and laid hands on him.
| صَارِخِينَ: «يَا أَيُّهَا ٱلرِّجَالُ ٱلْإِسْرَائِيلِيُّونَ، أَعِينُوا! هَذَا هُوَ ٱلرَّجُلُ ٱلَّذِي يُعَلِّمُ ٱلْجَمِيعَ فِي كُلِّ مَكَانٍ ضِدًّا لِلشَّعْبِ وَٱلنَّامُوسِ وَهَذَا ٱلْمَوْضِعِ، حَتَّى أَدْخَلَ يُونَانِيِّينَ أَيْضًا إِلَى ٱلْهَيْكَلِ وَدَنَّسَ هَذَا ٱلْمَوْضِعَ ٱلْمُقَدَّسَ». | ٢٨ 28 |
They were shouting, “Men of Israel, help us. This is the man who teaches all men everywhere things that are against the people, the law, and this place. Besides, he has also brought Greeks into the temple and has defiled this holy place.”
| لِأَنَّهُمْ كَانُوا قَدْ رَأَوْا مَعَهُ فِي ٱلْمَدِينَةِ تُرُوفِيمُسَ ٱلْأَفَسُسِيَّ، فَكَانُوا يَظُنُّونَ أَنَّ بُولُسَ أَدْخَلَهُ إِلَى ٱلْهَيْكَلِ. | ٢٩ 29 |
For they had previously seen Trophimus the Ephesian with him in the city, and they thought that Paul had brought him into the temple.
| فَهَاجَتِ ٱلْمَدِينَةُ كُلُّهَا، وَتَرَاكَضَ ٱلشَّعْبُ وَأَمْسَكُوا بُولُسَ وَجَرُّوهُ خَارِجَ ٱلْهَيْكَلِ. وَلِلْوَقْتِ أُغْلِقَتِ ٱلْأَبْوَابُ. | ٣٠ 30 |
All the city was excited, and the people ran together and laid hold of Paul. They dragged him out of the temple, and the doors were immediately shut.
| وَبَيْنَمَا هُمْ يَطْلُبُونَ أَنْ يَقْتُلُوهُ، نَمَا خَبَرٌ إِلَى أَمِيرِ ٱلْكَتِيبَةِ أَنَّ أُورُشَلِيمَ كُلَّهَا قَدِ ٱضْطَرَبَتْ. | ٣١ 31 |
As they were trying to kill him, news came up to the chief captain of the guard that all Jerusalem was in an uproar.
| فَلِلْوَقْتِ أَخَذَ عَسْكَرًا وَقُوَّادَ مِئَاتٍ وَرَكَضَ إِلَيْهِمْ. فَلَمَّا رأَوْا ٱلْأَمِيرَ وَٱلْعَسْكَرَ كَفُّوا عَنْ ضَرْبِ بُولُسَ. | ٣٢ 32 |
Right away he took soldiers and centurions and ran down to the crowd. When the people saw the chief captain and the soldiers, they stopped beating Paul.
| حِينَئِذٍ ٱقْتَرَبَ ٱلْأَمِيرُ وَأَمْسَكَهُ، وَأَمَرَ أَنْ يُقَيَّدَ بِسِلْسِلَتَيْنِ، وَطَفِقَ يَسْتَخْبِرُ: تُرَى مَنْ يَكُونُ؟ وَمَاذَا فَعَلَ؟ | ٣٣ 33 |
Then the chief captain approached and laid hold of Paul, and commanded him to be bound with two chains. Then he asked who he was and what he had done.
| وَكَانَ ٱلْبَعْضُ يَصْرُخُونَ بِشَيْءٍ وَٱلْبَعْضُ بِشَيْءٍ آخَرَ فِي ٱلْجَمْعِ. وَلَمَّا لَمْ يَقْدِرْ أَنْ يَعْلَمَ ٱلْيَقِينَ لِسَبَبِ ٱلشَّغَبِ، أَمَرَ أَنْ يُذْهَبَ بِهِ إِلَى ٱلْمُعَسْكَرِ. | ٣٤ 34 |
Some in the crowd were shouting one thing and others another. Since the captain could not tell anything because of all the noise, he ordered that Paul be brought into the fortress.
| وَلَمَّا صَارَ عَلَى ٱلدَّرَجِ ٱتَّفَقَ أَنَّ ٱلْعَسْكَرَ حَمَلَهُ بِسَبَبِ عُنْفِ ٱلْجَمْعِ، | ٣٥ 35 |
When he came to the steps, he was carried by the soldiers because of the crowd's violence.
| لِأَنَّ جُمْهُورَ ٱلشَّعْبِ كَانُوا يَتْبَعُونَهُ صَارِخِينَ: «خُذْهُ!». | ٣٦ 36 |
For the crowd of people followed after and kept shouting out, “Away with him!”
| وَإِذْ قَارَبَ بُولُسُ أَنْ يَدْخُلَ ٱلْمُعَسْكَرَ قَالَ لِلْأَمِيرِ: «أَيَجُوزُ لِي أَنْ أَقُولَ لَكَ شَيْئًا؟» فَقَالَ: «أَتَعْرِفُ ٱلْيُونَانِيَّةَ؟ | ٣٧ 37 |
As Paul was about to be brought into the fortress, he said to the chief captain, “May I say something to you?” The captain said, “Do you speak Greek?
| أَفَلَسْتَ أَنْتَ ٱلْمِصْرِيَّ ٱلَّذِي صَنَعَ قَبْلَ هَذِهِ ٱلْأَيَّامِ فِتْنَةً، وَأَخْرَجَ إِلَى ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ أَرْبَعَةَ ٱلْآلَافِ ٱلرَّجُلِ مِنَ ٱلْقَتَلَةِ؟». | ٣٨ 38 |
Are you not then the Egyptian, who previously led a rebellion and led the four thousand men of the 'Assassins' out into the wilderness?”
| فَقَالَ بُولُسُ: «أَنَا رَجُلٌ يَهُودِيٌّ طَرْسُوسِيٌّ، مِنْ أَهْلِ مَدِينَةٍ غَيْرِ دَنِيَّةٍ مِنْ كِيلِيكِيَّةَ. وَأَلْتَمِسُ مِنْكَ أَنْ تَأْذَنَ لِي أَنْ أُكَلِّمَ ٱلشَّعْبَ». | ٣٩ 39 |
Paul said, “I am a Jew, from the city of Tarsus in Cilicia. I am a citizen of an important city. I ask you, allow me to speak to the people.”
| فَلَمَّا أَذِنَ لَهُ، وَقَفَ بُولُسُ عَلَى ٱلدَّرَجِ وَأَشَارَ بِيَدِهِ إِلَى ٱلشَّعْبِ، فَصَارَ سُكُوتٌ عَظِيمٌ. فَنَادَى بِٱللُّغَةِ ٱلْعِبْرَانِيَّةِ قَائِلًا: | ٤٠ 40 |
When the captain had given him permission, Paul stood on the steps and motioned with the hand to the people. When there was a deep silence, he spoke to them in the Hebrew language. He said,
