< أعمال 21 >

وَلَمَّا ٱنْفَصَلْنَا عَنْهُمْ أَقْلَعْنَا وَجِئْنَا مُتَوَجِّهِينَ بِٱلِٱسْتِقَامَةِ إِلَى كُوسَ، وَفِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلتَّالِي إِلَى رُودُسَ، وَمِنْ هُنَاكَ إِلَى بَاتَرَا. ١ 1
And it came to pass, that after we were separated from them, and had launched, we came with a straight course to Coos, and the day following to Rhodes, and from there to Patara:
فَإِذْ وَجَدْنَا سَفِينَةً عَابِرَةً إِلَى فِينِيقِيَةَ صَعِدْنَا إِلَيْهَا وَأَقْلَعْنَا. ٢ 2
And finding a ship sailing over to Phenicia, we went aboard, and set forth.
ثُمَّ ٱطَّلَعْنَا عَلَى قُبْرُسَ، وَتَرَكْنَاهَا يَسْرَةً وَسَافَرْنَا إِلَى سُورِيَّةَ، وَأَقْبَلْنَا إِلَى صُورَ، لِأَنَّ هُنَاكَ كَانَتِ ٱلسَّفِينَةُ تَضَعُ وَسْقَهَا. ٣ 3
Now when we had come in sight of Cyprus, we left it on the left hand, and sailed into Syria, and landed at Tyre: for there the ship was to unload her cargo.
وَإِذْ وَجَدْنَا ٱلتَّلَامِيذَ مَكَثْنَا هُنَاكَ سَبْعَةَ أَيَّامٍ. وَكَانُوا يَقُولُونَ لِبُولُسَ بِٱلرُّوحِ أَنْ لَا يَصْعَدَ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ. ٤ 4
And finding disciples, we tarried there seven days: who said to Paul through the Spirit, that he should not go up 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
And when we had come to the end of those days, we departed and went on our way; and they all accompanied us on our way, with wives and children, till we were out of the city: and we kneeled down on the shore, and prayed.
وَلَمَّا وَدَّعْنَا بَعْضُنَا بَعْضًا صَعِدْنَا إِلَى ٱلسَّفِينَةِ. وَأَمَّا هُمْ فَرَجَعُوا إِلَى خَاصَّتِهِمْ. ٦ 6
And when we had taken our leave one of another, we took ship; and they returned home again.
وَلَمَّا أَكْمَلْنَا ٱلسَّفَرَ فِي ٱلْبَحْرِ مِنْ صُورَ، أَقْبَلْنَا إِلَى بُتُولِمَايِسَ، فَسَلَّمْنَا عَلَى ٱلْإِخْوَةِ وَمَكَثْنَا عِنْدَهُمْ يَوْمًا وَاحِدًا. ٧ 7
And when we had finished our course from Tyre, we came to Ptolemais, and greeted the brethren, and abode with them 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
And the next day we that were of Paul’s company departed, and came to Caesarea: and we entered into the house of Philip the evangelist, who was one of the seven; and abode with him.
وَكَانَ لِهَذَا أَرْبَعُ بَنَاتٍ عَذَارَى كُنَّ يَتَنَبَّأْنَ. ٩ 9
And the same man had four daughters, virgins, who prophesied.
وَبَيْنَمَا نَحْنُ مُقِيمُونَ أَيَّامًا كَثِيرَةً، ٱنْحَدَرَ مِنَ ٱلْيَهُودِيَّةِ نَبِيٌّ ٱسْمُهُ أَغَابُوسُ. ١٠ 10
And as we tarried there many days, there came down from Judaea 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
And when he had come to us, he took Paul’s belt, and bound his own hands and feet, and said, Thus saith the Holy Spirit, So shall the Jews at Jerusalem bind the man that owneth this belt, and shall deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles.
فَلَمَّا سَمِعْنَا هَذَا طَلَبْنَا إِلَيْهِ نَحْنُ وَٱلَّذِينَ مِنَ ٱلْمَكَانِ أَنْ لَا يَصْعَدَ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ. ١٢ 12
And when we heard these things, both we, and they of that place, besought him 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 mean ye to weep and to break my heart? for I am ready not to be bound only, but also to die at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus.
وَلَمَّا لَمْ يُقْنَعْ سَكَتْنَا قَائِلِينَ: «لِتَكُنْ مَشِيئَةُ ٱلرَّبِّ». ١٤ 14
And when he would not be persuaded, we ceased, saying, The will of the Lord be done.
وَبَعْدَ تِلْكَ ٱلْأَيَّامِ تَأَهَّبْنَا وَصَعِدْنَا إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ. ١٥ 15
And after those days we got ready, 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 went with us also certain of the disciples of Caesarea, and brought with them one Mnason of Cyprus, an early disciple, with whom we should lodge.
وَلَمَّا وَصَلْنَا إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ قَبِلَنَا ٱلْإِخْوَةُ بِفَرَحٍ. ١٧ 17
And when we had come to Jerusalem, the brethren received us gladly.
وَفِي ٱلْغَدِ دَخَلَ بُولُسُ مَعَنَا إِلَى يَعْقُوبَ، وَحَضَرَ جَمِيعُ ٱلْمَشَايِخِ. ١٨ 18
And the day following Paul went in 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
And when he had greeted them, he declared particularly what things God had wrought among the Gentiles by 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
And when they heard it, they glorified the Lord, and said to him, Thou seest, brother, how many thousands of Jews there are who believe; and they are all zealous of 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
And they are informed concerning thee, that thou teachest all the Jews who are among the Gentiles to forsake Moses, saying that they ought not to circumcise their children, neither to walk after the customs.
فَإِذًا مَاذَا يَكُونُ؟ لَا بُدَّ عَلَى كُلِّ حَالٍ أَنْ يَجْتَمِعَ ٱلْجُمْهُورُ، لِأَنَّهُمْ سَيَسْمَعُونَ أَنَّكَ قَدْ جِئْتَ. ٢٢ 22
What is it therefore? the multitude must needs come together: for they will hear that thou art come.
فَٱفْعَلْ هَذَا ٱلَّذِي نَقُولُ لَكَ: عِنْدَنَا أَرْبَعَةُ رِجَالٍ عَلَيْهِمْ نَذْرٌ. ٢٣ 23
Do therefore this that we say to thee: We have four men who have a vow on them;
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 them and purify thyself with them, and pay their expenses that they may shave their heads: and all may know that those things, of which they were informed concerning thee, are nothing; but that thou thyself also walkest orderly, and keepest 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
As concerning the Gentiles who believe, we have written and concluded that they observe no such thing, except that they keep themselves from things offered to idols, and from blood, and from strangled, and from 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 entered into the temple, to signify the accomplishment of the days of purification, until an offering should be 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
And when the seven days were almost ended, the Jews who were from Asia, when they saw him in the temple, stirred up all the people, 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
Crying out, Men of Israel, help: This is the man, that teacheth all men every where against the people, and the law, and this place: and further hath brought Greeks also into the temple, and hath polluted this holy place.
لِأَنَّهُمْ كَانُوا قَدْ رَأَوْا مَعَهُ فِي ٱلْمَدِينَةِ تُرُوفِيمُسَ ٱلْأَفَسُسِيَّ، فَكَانُوا يَظُنُّونَ أَنَّ بُولُسَ أَدْخَلَهُ إِلَى ٱلْهَيْكَلِ. ٢٩ 29
For they had seen before with him in the city Trophimus an Ephesian, whom they supposed that Paul had brought into the temple.)
فَهَاجَتِ ٱلْمَدِينَةُ كُلُّهَا، وَتَرَاكَضَ ٱلشَّعْبُ وَأَمْسَكُوا بُولُسَ وَجَرُّوهُ خَارِجَ ٱلْهَيْكَلِ. وَلِلْوَقْتِ أُغْلِقَتِ ٱلْأَبْوَابُ. ٣٠ 30
And all the city was moved, and the people ran together: and they took Paul, and drew him out of the temple: and immediately the doors were shut.
وَبَيْنَمَا هُمْ يَطْلُبُونَ أَنْ يَقْتُلُوهُ، نَمَا خَبَرٌ إِلَى أَمِيرِ ٱلْكَتِيبَةِ أَنَّ أُورُشَلِيمَ كُلَّهَا قَدِ ٱضْطَرَبَتْ. ٣١ 31
And as they went about to kill him, tidings came to the chief captain of the band, that all Jerusalem was in an uproar.
فَلِلْوَقْتِ أَخَذَ عَسْكَرًا وَقُوَّادَ مِئَاتٍ وَرَكَضَ إِلَيْهِمْ. فَلَمَّا رأَوْا ٱلْأَمِيرَ وَٱلْعَسْكَرَ كَفُّوا عَنْ ضَرْبِ بُولُسَ. ٣٢ 32
Who immediately took soldiers and centurions, and ran down to them: and when they 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 came near, and took him, and commanded him to be bound with two chains; and demanded 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
And some cried one thing, some another, among the multitude: and when he could not know the certainty for the tumult, he commanded him to be carried into the barracks.
وَلَمَّا صَارَ عَلَى ٱلدَّرَجِ ٱتَّفَقَ أَنَّ ٱلْعَسْكَرَ حَمَلَهُ بِسَبَبِ عُنْفِ ٱلْجَمْعِ، ٣٥ 35
And when he came upon the stairs, so it was, that he was borne by the soldiers for the violence of the people.
لِأَنَّ جُمْهُورَ ٱلشَّعْبِ كَانُوا يَتْبَعُونَهُ صَارِخِينَ: «خُذْهُ!». ٣٦ 36
For the multitude of the people followed, crying, Away with him.
وَإِذْ قَارَبَ بُولُسُ أَنْ يَدْخُلَ ٱلْمُعَسْكَرَ قَالَ لِلْأَمِيرِ: «أَيَجُوزُ لِي أَنْ أَقُولَ لَكَ شَيْئًا؟» فَقَالَ: «أَتَعْرِفُ ٱلْيُونَانِيَّةَ؟ ٣٧ 37
And as Paul was to be led into the barracks, he said to the chief captain, May I speak to thee? Who said, Canst thou speak Greek?
أَفَلَسْتَ أَنْتَ ٱلْمِصْرِيَّ ٱلَّذِي صَنَعَ قَبْلَ هَذِهِ ٱلْأَيَّامِ فِتْنَةً، وَأَخْرَجَ إِلَى ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ أَرْبَعَةَ ٱلْآلَافِ ٱلرَّجُلِ مِنَ ٱلْقَتَلَةِ؟». ٣٨ 38
Art not thou that Egyptian, who before these days madest an uproar, and leddest out into the wilderness four thousand men that were murderers?
فَقَالَ بُولُسُ: «أَنَا رَجُلٌ يَهُودِيٌّ طَرْسُوسِيٌّ، مِنْ أَهْلِ مَدِينَةٍ غَيْرِ دَنِيَّةٍ مِنْ كِيلِيكِيَّةَ. وَأَلْتَمِسُ مِنْكَ أَنْ تَأْذَنَ لِي أَنْ أُكَلِّمَ ٱلشَّعْبَ». ٣٩ 39
But Paul said, I am a man who is a Jew of Tarsus, a city of Cilicia, a citizen of no mean city: and, I beseech thee, permit 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
And when he had given him permission, Paul stood on the stairs, and beckoned with the hand to the people. And when there was made a great silence, he spoke to them in the Hebrew language, saying,
