Acts 14
1 In Iconium, they entered together into the synagogue of the Jews, and so spoke that a great multitude both of Jews and of Greeks believed.
| وَفِي إِيْقُونِيَةَ دَخَلَ بُولُسُ وَبَرْنَابَا إِلَى الْمَجْمَعِ الْيَهُودِيِّ كَعَادَتِهِمَا، وَأَخَذَا يَتَكَلَّمَانِ حَتَّى آمَنَ جَمْعٌ كَبِيرٌ مِنَ الْيَهُودِ وَالْيُونَانِيِّينَ. | ١ |
2 But the disbelieving Jews stirred up and embittered the souls of the Gentiles against the brothers.
| وَلَكِنَّ الْيَهُودَ الَّذِينَ لَمْ يُؤْمِنُوا أَثَارُوا غَيْرَ الْيَهُودِ عَلَى الإِخْوَةِ، وَأَفْسَدُوا عُقُولَهُمْ. | ٢ |
3 Therefore they stayed there a long time, speaking boldly in the Lord, who testified to the word of his grace, granting signs and wonders to be done by their hands.
| إِلّا أَنَّ بُولُسَ وَبَرْنَابَا بَقِيَا هُنَاكَ فَتْرَةً طَوِيلَةً يُبَشِّرَانِ بِالرَّبِّ بِكُلِّ جُرْأَةٍ، وَأَيَّدَهُمَا الرَّبُّ شَاهِداً لِكَلِمَةِ نِعْمَتِهِ بِمَا أَجْرَاهُ عَلَى أَيْدِيهِمَا مِنْ آيَاتٍ وَعَجَائِبَ. | ٣ |
4 But the multitude of the city was divided. Part sided with the Jews and part with the apostles.
| فَانْقَسَمَ أَهْلُ إِيْقُونِيَةَ فَرِيقَيْنِ: فَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ كَانَ مَعَ الْيَهُودِ، وَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ كَانَ مَعَ الرَّسُولَيْنِ. | ٤ |
5 When some of both the Gentiles and the Jews, with their rulers, made a violent attempt to mistreat and stone them,
| وَلَمَّا أَوْشَكَ غَيْرُ الْيَهُودِ وَالْيَهُودُ وَرُؤَسَاؤُهُمْ أَنْ يُهِينُوا الرَّسُولَيْنِ وَيَرْجُمُوهُمَا بِالْحِجَارَةِ، | ٥ |
6 they became aware of it and fled to the cities of Lycaonia, Lystra, Derbe, and the surrounding region.
| عَلِمَا بِذلِكَ فَهَرَبَا إِلَى مَدِينَتَيْ لِسْتَرَةَ وَدَرْبَةَ الْوَاقِعَتَيْنِ فِي مُقَاطَعَةِ لِيكَأُونِيَةَ، وَإِلَى الْمِنْطَقَةِ الْمُحِيطَةِ بِهِمَا، | ٦ |
7 There they preached the Good News.
| وَأَخَذَا يُبَشِّرَانِ هُنَاكَ. | ٧ |
8 At Lystra a certain man sat, impotent in his feet, a cripple from his mother’s womb, who never had walked.
| وَكَانَ يُقِيمُ فِي مَدِينَةِ لِسْتَرَةَ كَسِيحٌ مُقْعَدٌ مُنْذُ وِلادَتِهِ لَمْ يَمْشِ قَطُّ. | ٨ |
9 He was listening to Paul speaking, who, fastening eyes on him and seeing that he had faith to be made whole,
| فَإِذْ كَانَ يُصْغِي إِلَى حَدِيثِ بُولُسَ فَرَأَى فِيهِ إِيمَاناً بِأَنَّهُ سَيُشْفَى، | ٩ |
10 said with a loud voice, “Stand upright on your feet!” He leaped up and walked.
| فَنَادَاهُ بِأَعْلَى صَوْتِهِ: «انْهَضْ وَاقِفاً عَلَى رِجْلَيْكَ!» فَقَفَزَ الرَّجُلُ وَبَدَأَ يَمْشِي. | ١٠ |
11 When the multitude saw what Paul had done, they lifted up their voice, saying in the language of Lycaonia, “The gods have come down to us in the likeness of men!”
| فَلَمَّا رَأَى الْحَاضِرُونَ مَا قَامَ بِهِ بُولُسُ هَتَفُوا بِاللُّغَةِ اللِّيكَأُونِيَّةِ: «اتَّخَذَ الآلِهَةُ صُورَةَ بَشَرٍ وَنَزَلُوا بَيْنَنَا!» | ١١ |
12 They called Barnabas “Jupiter”, and Paul “Mercury”, because he was the chief speaker.
| ثُمَّ دَعَوْا بَرْنَابَا زَفْسَ وَبُولُسَ هَرْمَسَ، لأَنَّهُ كَانَ يُدِيرُ الْحَدِيثَ. | ١٢ |
13 The priest of Jupiter, whose temple was in front of their city, brought oxen and garlands to the gates, and would have made a sacrifice along with the multitudes.
| وَكَانَ عِنْدَ مَدْخَلِ الْمَدِينَةِ مَعْبَدٌ لِلإلَهِ زَفْسَ، فَجَاءَ كَاهِنُهُ عَلَى رَأْسِ جَمْعٍ مِنَ الْمَدِينَةِ، وَهُمْ يَحْمِلُونَ أَكَالِيلَ الزُّهُورِ وَيَجُرُّونَ الثِّيرَانَ لِيُقَدِّمُوهَا ذَبِيحَةً لِبُولُسَ وَبَرْنَابَا. | ١٣ |
14 But when the apostles, Barnabas and Paul, heard of it, they tore their clothes and sprang into the multitude, crying out,
| فَلَمَّا سَمِعَ الرَّسُولانِ بِذَلِكَ مَزَّقَا ثِيَابَهُمَا، وَأَسْرَعَا إِلَى الْمُجْتَمِعِينَ | ١٤ |
15 “Men, why are you doing these things? We also are men of the same nature as you, and bring you good news, that you should turn from these vain things to the living God, who made the sky, the earth, the sea, and all that is in them;
| وَهُمَا يَصْرُخَانِ: «لِمَاذَا تَفْعَلُونَ هَذَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ؟ مَا نَحْنُ إِلّا بَشَرٌ ضُعَفَاءُ مِثْلُكُمْ، نُبَشِّرُكُمْ بِأَنْ تَرْجِعُوا عَنْ هذِهِ الأَشْيَاءِ الْبَاطِلَةِ إِلَى اللهِ الْحَيِّ صَانِعِ السَّمَاءِ وَالأَرْضِ وَالْبَحْرِ، وَكُلِّ مَا فِيهَا، | ١٥ |
16 who in the generations gone by allowed all the nations to walk in their own ways.
| وَقَدْ تَرَكَ الأُمَمَ فِي الْعُصُورِ الْمَاضِيَةِ يَسْلُكُونَ فِي طُرُقِهِمْ، | ١٦ |
17 Yet he didn’t leave himself without witness, in that he did good and gave you rains from the sky and fruitful seasons, filling our hearts with food and gladness.”
| مَعَ أَنَّهُ لَمْ يَتْرُكْهُمْ دُونَ شَاهِدٍ يَدُلُّهُمْ عَلَيْهِ. فَهُوَ مَازَالَ يُنْعِمُ عَلَيْكُمْ بِالْخَيْرِ، وَيَرْزُقُكُمْ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ أَمْطَاراً وَمَوَاسِمَ مُثْمِرَةً، وَيُشْبِعُكُمْ طَعَاماً وَيَمْلأُ قُلُوبَكُمْ سُرُوراً». | ١٧ |
18 Even saying these things, they hardly stopped the multitudes from making a sacrifice to them.
| بِهَذَا الْكَلامِ تَمَكَّنَا بَعْدَ جَهْدٍ مِنْ إِقْنَاعِ الْجُمُوعِ بِعَدَمِ تَقْدِيمِ الذَّبَائِحِ لَهُمَا. | ١٨ |
19 But some Jews from Antioch and Iconium came there, and having persuaded the multitudes, they stoned Paul and dragged him out of the city, supposing that he was dead.
| بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ جَاءَ بَعْضُ الْيَهُودِ مِنْ أَنْطَاكِيَةَ وَإِيقُونِيَّةَ، وَاسْتَمَالُوا الْجُمُوعَ، فَرَجَمُوا بُولُسَ حَتَّى ظَنُّوا أَنَّهُ مَاتَ، وَجَرُّوهُ إِلَى خَارِجِ الْمَدِينَةِ. | ١٩ |
20 But as the disciples stood around him, he rose up, and entered into the city. On the next day he went out with Barnabas to Derbe.
| وَلَمَّا أَحَاطَ بِهِ التَّلامِيذُ، قَامَ وَعَادَ إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ. وَفِي الْيَوْمِ التَّالِي سَافَرَ مَعَ بَرْنَابَا إِلَى دَرْبَةَ، | ٢٠ |
21 When they had preached the Good News to that city and had made many disciples, they returned to Lystra, Iconium, and Antioch,
| وَبَشَّرَا أَهْلَهَا، فَصَارَ كَثِيرُونَ مِنْهُمْ تَلامِيذَ لِلرَّبِّ. ثُمَّ رَجَعَا إِلَى لِسْتَرَةَ، وَمِنْهَا إِلَى إِيْقُونِيَةَ، وَأَخِيراً إِلَى أَنْطَاكِيَةَ. | ٢١ |
22 strengthening the souls of the disciples, exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that through many afflictions we must enter into God’s Kingdom.
| وَفِي هذِهِ الأَمَاكِنِ كُلِّهَا كَانَا يُشَدِّدَانِ عَزِيمَةَ التَّلامِيذِ، وَيَحُثَّانِهِمْ عَلَى الثَّبَاتِ فِي الإِيمَانِ، مُؤَكِّدَيْنِ لَهُمْ أَنَّ دُخُولَ مَلَكُوتِ اللهِ يَقْتَضِي أَنْ نُقَاسِيَ صُعُوبَاتٍ كَثِيرَةً. | ٢٢ |
23 When they had appointed elders for them in every assembly, and had prayed with fasting, they commended them to the Lord on whom they had believed.
| وَعَيَّنَا لِلتَّلامِيذِ شُيُوخاً فِي كُلِّ كَنِيسَةٍ. ثُمَّ صَلَّيَا بِأَصْوَامٍ وَأَسْلَمَا الْجَمِيعَ وَدِيعَةً بَيْنَ يَدَيِ الرَّبِّ الَّذِي آمَنُوا بِهِ. | ٢٣ |
24 They passed through Pisidia and came to Pamphylia.
| ثُمَّ سَافَرَا مِنْ مُقَاطَعَةِ بِيسِيدِيَّةَ، وَوَصَلا إِلَى بَمْفِيلِيَّةَ. | ٢٤ |
25 When they had spoken the word in Perga, they went down to Attalia.
| وَبَشَّرَا بِكَلِمَةِ اللهِ فِي بَرْجَةَ، ثُمَّ سَافَرَا إِلَى أَتَّالِيَةَ. | ٢٥ |
26 From there they sailed to Antioch, from where they had been committed to the grace of God for the work which they had fulfilled.
| وَمِنْ هُنَاكَ عَادَا بَحْراً إِلَى مَدِينَةِ أَنْطَاكِيَةَ، حَيْثُ كَانَ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ قَدْ أَسْلَمُوهُمَا إِلَى نِعْمَةِ اللهِ لِيَقُومَا بِالْعَمَلِ الَّذِي قَدْ أَنْجَزَاهُ. | ٢٦ |
27 When they had arrived and had gathered the assembly together, they reported all the things that God had done with them, and that he had opened a door of faith to the nations.
| وَلَمَّا وَصَلا، اسْتَدْعَيَا الْكَنِيسَةَ إِلَى الاجْتِمَاعِ، وَأَخْبَرَا بِكُلِّ مَا فَعَلَ اللهُ بِوَاسِطَتِهِمَا، وَبِأَنَّهُ فَتَحَ بَابَ الإِيمَانِ لِغَيْرِ الْيَهُودِ. | ٢٧ |
28 They stayed there with the disciples for a long time.
| وَأَقَامَا مَعَ التَّلامِيذِ هُنَاكَ مُدَّةً طَوِيلَةً. | ٢٨ |
