< 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
But when it had been determined that we should sail to Italy, they delivered up Paul and certain other prisoners to a centurion, by name Julius, of Augustus' company.
فَصَعِدْنَا إِلَى سَفِينَةٍ أَدْرَامِيتِينِيَّةٍ، وَأَقْلَعْنَا مُزْمِعِينَ أَنْ نُسَافِرَ مَارِّينَ بِٱلْمَوَاضِعِ ٱلَّتِي فِي أَسِيَّا. وَكَانَ مَعَنَا أَرِسْتَرْخُسُ، رَجُلٌ مَكِدُونِيٌّ مِنْ تَسَالُونِيكِي. ٢ 2
And going on board a ship of Adramyttium about to navigate by the places along Asia, we set sail, 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 kindly and suffered him to go to his friends and refresh himself.
ثُمَّ أَقْلَعْنَا مِنْ هُنَاكَ وَسَافَرْنَا فِي ٱلْبَحْرِ مِنْ تَحْتِ قُبْرُسَ، لِأَنَّ ٱلرِّيَاحَ كَانَتْ مُضَادَّةً. ٤ 4
And setting sail thence we sailed under the lee of Cyprus, because the winds were contrary.
وَبَعْدَ مَا عَبَرْنَا ٱلْبَحْرَ ٱلَّذِي بِجَانِبِ كِيلِيكِيَّةَ وَبَمْفِيلِيَّةَ، نَزَلْنَا إِلَى مِيرَا لِيكِيَّةَ. ٥ 5
And having sailed over the waters of Cilicia and Pamphylia we came to Myra in Lycia:
فَإِذْ وَجَدَ قَائِدُ ٱلْمِئَةِ هُنَاكَ سَفِينَةً إِسْكَنْدَرِيَّةً مُسَافِرَةً إِلَى إِيطَالِيَا أَدْخَلَنَا فِيهَا. ٦ 6
and there the centurion having found a ship of Alexandria sailing to Italy, he made us go on board her.
وَلَمَّا كُنَّا نُسَافِرُ رُوَيْدًا أَيَّامًا كَثِيرَةً، وَبِٱلْجَهْدِ صِرْنَا بِقُرْبِ كِنِيدُسَ، وَلَمْ تُمَكِّنَّا ٱلرِّيحُ أَكْثَرَ، سَافَرْنَا مِنْ تَحْتِ كِرِيتَ بِقُرْبِ سَلْمُونِي. ٧ 7
And sailing slowly for many days, and having with difficulty got abreast of Cnidus, the wind not suffering us, we sailed under the lee of Crete abreast of Salmone;
وَلَمَّا تَجَاوَزْنَاهَا بِٱلْجَهْدِ جِئْنَا إِلَى مَكَانٍ يُقَالُ لَهُ «ٱلْمَوَانِي ٱلْحَسَنَةُ» ٱلَّتِي بِقُرْبِهَا مَدِينَةُ لَسَائِيَةَ. ٨ 8
and coasting it with difficulty we came to a certain place called Fair Havens, near to which was [the] city of Lasaea.
وَلَمَّا مَضَى زَمَانٌ طَوِيلٌ، وَصَارَ ٱلسَّفَرُ فِي ٱلْبَحْرِ خَطِرًا، إِذْ كَانَ ٱلصَّوْمُ أَيْضًا قَدْ مَضَى، جَعَلَ بُولُسُ يُنْذِرُهُمْ ٩ 9
And much time having now been spent, and navigation being already dangerous, because the fast also was already past, Paul counselled 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, Men, I perceive that the navigation will be with disaster and much loss, not only of the cargo and the ship, but also of our lives.
وَلَكِنْ كَانَ قَائِدُ ٱلْمِئَةِ يَنْقَادُ إِلَى رُبَّانِ ٱلسَّفِينَةِ وَإِلَى صَاحِبِهَا أَكْثَرَ مِمَّا إِلَى قَوْلِ بُولُسَ. ١١ 11
But the centurion believed rather the helmsman and the shipowner than what was said 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 being ill adapted to winter in, the most counselled to set sail thence, if perhaps they might reach Phoenice to winter in, a port of Crete looking north-east and south-east.
فَلَمَّا نَسَّمَتْ رِيحٌ جَنُوبٌ، ظَنُّوا أَنَّهُمْ قَدْ مَلَكُوا مَقْصَدَهُمْ، فَرَفَعُوا ٱلْمِرْسَاةَ وَطَفِقُوا يَتَجَاوَزُونَ كِرِيتَ عَلَى أَكْثَرِ قُرْبٍ. ١٣ 13
And [the] south wind blowing gently, supposing that they had gained their object, having weighed anchor they sailed close in shore along Crete.
وَلَكِنْ بَعْدَ قَلِيلٍ هَاجَتْ عَلَيْهَا رِيحٌ زَوْبَعِيَّةٌ يُقَالُ لَهَا «أُورُوكْلِيدُونُ». ١٤ 14
But not long after there came down it a hurricane called Euroclydon.
فَلَمَّا خُطِفَتِ ٱلسَّفِينَةُ وَلَمْ يُمْكِنْهَا أَنْ تُقَابِلَ ٱلرِّيحَ، سَلَّمْنَا، فَصِرْنَا نُحْمَلُ. ١٥ 15
And the ship being caught and driven, and not able to bring her head to the wind, letting her go we were driven [before it].
فَجَرَيْنَا تَحْتَ جَزِيرَةٍ يُقَالُ لَهَا «كَلَوْدِي» وَبِٱلْجَهْدِ قَدِرْنَا أَنْ نَمْلِكَ ٱلْقَارِبَ. ١٦ 16
But running under the lee of a certain island called Clauda, we were with difficulty able to make ourselves masters of the boat;
وَلَمَّا رَفَعُوهُ طَفِقُوا يَسْتَعْمِلُونَ مَعُونَاتٍ، حَازِمِينَ ٱلسَّفِينَةَ، وَإِذْ كَانُوا خَائِفِينَ أَنْ يَقَعُوا فِي ٱلسِّيرْتِسِ، أَنْزَلُوا ٱلْقُلُوعَ، وَهَكَذَا كَانُوا يُحْمَلُونَ. ١٧ 17
which having hoisted up, they used helps, frapping the ship; and fearing lest they should run into Syrtis and run aground, and having lowered the gear they were so driven.
وَإِذْ كُنَّا فِي نَوْءٍ عَنِيفٍ، جَعَلُوا يُفَرِّغُونَ فِي ٱلْغَدِ. ١٨ 18
But the storm being extremely violent on us, on the next day they threw cargo overboard,
وَفِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلثَّالِثِ رَمَيْنَا بِأَيْدِينَا أَثَاثَ ٱلسَّفِينَةِ. ١٩ 19
and on the third day with their own hands they cast away the ship furniture.
وَإِذْ لَمْ تَكُنِ ٱلشَّمْسُ وَلَا ٱلنُّجُومُ تَظْهَرُ أَيَّامًا كَثِيرَةً، وَٱشْتَدَّ عَلَيْنَا نَوْءٌ لَيْسَ بِقَلِيلٍ، ٱنْتُزِعَ أَخِيرًا كُلُّ رَجَاءٍ فِي نَجَاتِنَا. ٢٠ 20
And neither sun nor stars appearing for many days, and no small storm lying on us, in the end all hope of our being saved was taken away.
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
And when they had been a long while without taking food, Paul then standing up in the midst of them said, Ye ought, O men, to have hearkened to me, and not have made sail from Crete and have gained this disaster and loss.
وَٱلْآنَ أُنْذِرُكُمْ أَنْ تُسَرُّوا، لِأَنَّهُ لَا تَكُونُ خَسَارَةُ نَفْسٍ وَاحِدَةٍ مِنْكُمْ، إِلَّا ٱلسَّفِينَةَ. ٢٢ 22
And now I exhort you to be of good courage, for there shall be no loss at all of life of [any] of you, only of the ship.
لِأَنَّهُ وَقَفَ بِي هَذِهِ ٱللَّيْلَةَ مَلَاكُ ٱلْإِلَهِ ٱلَّذِي أَنَا لَهُ وَٱلَّذِي أَعْبُدُهُ، ٢٣ 23
For an angel of the God, whose I am and whom I serve, stood by me this night,
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 has granted to thee all those that sail with thee.
لِذَلِكَ سُرُّوا أَيُّهَا ٱلرِّجَالُ، لِأَنِّي أُومِنُ بِٱللهِ أَنَّهُ يَكُونُ هَكَذَا كَمَا قِيلَ لِي. ٢٥ 25
Wherefore be of good courage, men, for I believe God that thus it shall be, as it has been said to me.
وَلَكِنْ لَا بُدَّ أَنْ نَقَعَ عَلَى جَزِيرَةٍ». ٢٦ 26
But we must be cast ashore 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
And when the fourteenth night was come, we being driven about in Adria, towards the middle of the night the sailors supposed that some land neared them,
فَقَاسُوا وَوَجَدُوا عِشْرِينَ قَامَةً. وَلَمَّا مَضَوْا قَلِيلًا قَاسُوا أَيْضًا فَوَجَدُوا خَمْسَ عَشْرَةَ قَامَةً. ٢٨ 28
and having sounded found twenty fathoms, and having gone a little farther and having again sounded they found 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 we should be cast on rocky places, casting four anchors out of the stern, they wished that day were come.
وَلَمَّا كَانَ ٱلنُّوتِيَّةُ يَطْلُبُونَ أَنْ يَهْرُبُوا مِنَ ٱلسَّفِينَةِ، وَأَنْزَلُوا ٱلْقَارِبَ إِلَى ٱلْبَحْرِ بِعِلَّةِ أَنَّهُمْ مُزْمِعُونَ أَنْ يَمُدُّوا مَرَاسِيَ مِنَ ٱلْمُقَدَّمِ، ٣٠ 30
But the sailors wishing to flee out of the ship, and having let down the boat into the sea under pretext of being about to carry out anchors from the prow,
قَالَ بُولُسُ لِقَائِدِ ٱلْمِئَةِ وَٱلْعَسْكَرِ: «إِنْ لَمْ يَبْقَ هَؤُلَاءِ فِي ٱلسَّفِينَةِ فَأَنْتُمْ لَا تَقْدِرُونَ أَنْ تَنْجُوا». ٣١ 31
Paul said to the centurion and the soldiers, Unless these abide in the ship ye cannot be saved.
حِينَئِذٍ قَطَعَ ٱلْعَسْكَرُ حِبَالَ ٱلْقَارِبِ وَتَرَكُوهُ يَسْقُطُ. ٣٢ 32
Then the soldiers cut away the ropes of the boat and let her fall.
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 it was drawing on to daylight, Paul exhorted them all to partake of food, saying, Ye have passed the fourteenth day watching in expectation without taking food.
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 partake of food, for this has to do with your safety; for not a hair from the head of any one of you shall perish.
وَلَمَّا قَالَ هَذَا أَخَذَ خُبْزًا وَشَكَرَ ٱللهَ أَمَامَ ٱلْجَمِيعِ، وَكَسَّرَ، وَٱبْتَدَأَ يَأْكُلُ. ٣٥ 35
And, having said these things and taken a loaf, he gave thanks to God before all, and having broken it began to eat.
فَصَارَ ٱلْجَمِيعُ مَسْرُورِينَ وَأَخَذُوا هُمْ أَيْضًا طَعَامًا. ٣٦ 36
And all taking courage, themselves also took food.
وَكُنَّا فِي ٱلسَّفِينَةِ جَمِيعُ ٱلْأَنْفُسِ مِئَتَيْنِ وَسِتَّةً وَسَبْعِينَ. ٣٧ 37
And we were in the ship, all the souls, two hundred and seventy-six.
وَلَمَّا شَبِعُوا مِنَ ٱلطَّعَامِ طَفِقُوا يُخَفِّفُونَ ٱلسَّفِينَةَ طَارِحِينَ ٱلْحِنْطَةَ فِي ٱلْبَحْرِ. ٣٨ 38
And having satisfied themselves with food, they lightened the ship, casting out 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 it was day they did not recognise the land; but they perceived a certain bay having a strand, on which they were minded, if they should be able, to run the ship ashore;
فَلَمَّا نَزَعُوا ٱلْمَرَاسِيَ تَارِكِينَ إِيَّاهَا فِي ٱلْبَحْرِ، وَحَلُّوا رُبُطَ ٱلدَّفَّةِ أَيْضًا، رَفَعُوا قِلْعًا لِلرِّيحِ ٱلْهَابَّةِ، وَأَقْبَلُوا إِلَى ٱلشَّاطِئِ. ٤٠ 40
and, having cast off the anchors, they left [them] in the sea, at the same time loosening the lashings of the rudders, and hoisting the foresail to the wind, they made for the strand.
وَإِذْ وَقَعُوا عَلَى مَوْضِعٍ بَيْنَ بَحْرَيْنِ، شَطَّطُوا ٱلسَّفِينَةَ، فَٱرْتَكَزَ ٱلْمُقَدَّمُ وَلَبِثَ لَا يَتَحَرَّكُ. وَأَمَّا ٱلْمُؤَخَّرُ فَكَانَ يَنْحَلُّ مِنْ عُنْفِ ٱلْأَمْوَاجِ. ٤١ 41
And falling into a place where two seas met they ran the ship aground, and the prow having stuck itself fast remained unmoved, but the stern was broken by the force of the waves.
فَكَانَ رَأْيُ ٱلْعَسْكَرِ أَنْ يَقْتُلُوا ٱلْأَسْرَى لِئَلَّا يَسْبَحَ أَحَدٌ مِنْهُمْ فَيَهْرُبَ. ٤٢ 42
And [the] counsel of the soldiers was that they should kill the prisoners, lest any one should swim off 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 of saving Paul, hindered them of their purpose, and commanded those who were able to swim, casting themselves first [into the sea], to get out on land;
وَٱلْبَاقِينَ بَعْضُهُمْ عَلَى أَلْوَاحٍ وَبَعْضُهُمْ عَلَى قِطَعٍ مِنَ ٱلسَّفِينَةِ. فَهَكَذَا حَدَثَ أَنَّ ٱلْجَمِيعَ نَجَوْا إِلَى ٱلْبَرِّ. ٤٤ 44
and the rest, some on boards, some on some of the things [that came] from the ship; and thus it came to pass that all got safe to land.
