کارهای رسولان 11
| پس رسولان و برادرانی که در یهودیه بودند، شنیدند که امت‌ها نیز کلام خدارا پذیرفته‌اند. | ۱ 1 |
The apostles and [other] believers who lived in various towns in Judea [province] heard people say that [some] non-Jewish people had believed the message [from] God [about Jesus].
| و چون پطرس به اورشلیم آمد، اهل ختنه با وی معارضه کرده، | ۲ 2 |
So when Peter [and the six other believers] returned [from Caesarea] to Jerusalem, [some] Jewish believers criticized Peter, [because they thought that Jews should not associate with non-Jews] [MTY].
| گفتند که «بامردم نامختون برآمده، با ایشان غذا خوردی!» | ۳ 3 |
They said to him, “Not only was it wrong for you(sg) to visit non-Jewish people, you [even] ate with them!”
| پطرس از اول مفصلا بدیشان بیان کرده، گفت: | ۴ 4 |
So Peter began to explain exactly [what had happened concerning Cornelius].
| «من در شهر یافا دعا می‌کردم که ناگاه درعالم رویا ظرفی را دیدم که نازل می‌شود مثل چادری بزرگ به چهار گوشه از آسمان آویخته که بر من می‌رسد. | ۵ 5 |
He said, “I was praying [by myself] in Joppa [town], and in a trance I saw a vision. I saw that something like a large sheet was being lowered from heaven. [It was tied with ropes] at its four corners, and it came down to where I was.
| چون بر آن نیک نگریسته، تامل کردم، دواب زمین و وحوش و حشرات و مرغان هوا را دیدم. | ۶ 6 |
As I was looking intently into it, I saw some tame animals [but also animals that our laws forbid us to eat, including] wild animals, snakes, and wild birds.
| و آوازی را شنیدم که به من می‌گوید: “ای پطرس برخاسته، ذبح کن و بخور.” | ۷ 7 |
Then I heard God [MTY] commanding me, ‘Peter, get up, kill [some of these], and [cook and] eat [their meat]!’
| گفتم: “حاشا خداوندا، زیرا هرگز چیزی حرام یا ناپاک به دهانم نرفته است.” | ۸ 8 |
But I replied, ‘Lord, [you(sg)] surely do not [really want me to do that], because I have never eaten [MTY] meat [from any animal] that [our laws say] that we [(exc)] must not eat [SYN]!’
| بار دیگر خطاب از آسمان در‌رسید که “آنچه خدا پاک نموده، توحرام مخوان.” | ۹ 9 |
God spoke from heaven [to me] a second time, ‘[I am] God, [so] if I have made something acceptable [to eat], do not say that it is not acceptable [to eat]!’
| این سه کرت واقع شد که همه باز به سوی آسمان بالا برده شد. | ۱۰ 10 |
Then [after that happened three times, the sheet with] all [those animals and birds] was pulled up into heaven again.”
| و اینک در همان ساعت سه مرد از قیصریه نزد من فرستاده شده، به خانه‌ای که در آن بودم، رسیدند. | ۱۱ 11 |
“At that exact moment, three men who had been {whom [Cornelius] had} sent from Caesarea arrived at the house where I was staying.
| و روح مرا گفت که «با ایشان بدون شک برو.» و این شش برادر نیز همراه من آمدند تابه خانه آن شخص داخل شدیم. | ۱۲ 12 |
[God’s] Spirit told me that I should be willing to go with them [even though they were not Jews]. These six [Jewish] believers [from Joppa] went with me [to Caesarea], and then we [(exc)] went into that [non-Jewish] man’s house.
| و ما راآگاهانید که چطور فرشته‌ای را در خانه خود دیدکه ایستاده به وی گفت “کسان به یافا بفرست وشمعون معروف به پطرس را بطلب | ۱۳ 13 |
He told us that he had seen an angel standing in his house. The angel told him, ‘Tell some [men] to go to Joppa and bring back Simon whose other name is Peter.
| که با توسخنانی خواهد گفت که بدانها تو و تمامی اهل خانه تو نجات خواهید یافت.” | ۱۴ 14 |
He will tell you [(sg)] how you and everyone [MTY] else in your house will be saved {how [God] will save you and everyone [MTY] else in your house}.’
| و چون شروع به سخن‌گفتن می‌کردم، روح‌القدس بر ایشان نازل شد، همچنانکه نخست بر ما. | ۱۵ 15 |
After I started to speak, the Holy Spirit [suddenly] came down on them, just like he had first [MTY] come on us [during the Pentecost festival].
| آنگاه بخاطرآوردم سخن خداوند را که گفت: “یحیی به آب تعمید داد، لیکن شما به روح‌القدس تعمیدخواهید یافت.” | ۱۶ 16 |
Then I remembered what the Lord had said: ‘John caused people to be baptized in water, but [God] will cause the Holy Spirit [to enter you and change your lives.’]
| پس چون خدا همان عطا رابدیشان بخشید، چنانکه به ما محض ایمان آوردن به عیسی مسیح خداوند، پس من که باشم که بتوانم خدا را ممانعت نمایم؟» | ۱۷ 17 |
God gave those non-Jews the same Holy Spirit that he had given to us [(inc)] after we believed in the Lord Jesus Christ. So, ([I] could not [possibly] tell God that he did wrong [when he gave them the Holy Spirit!]/how could I [tell] God that he did wrong [when he gave them the Holy Spirit]?) [RHQ] [He was showing that he had received them]!”
| چون این را شنیدند، ساکت شدند و خدا را تمجیدکنان گفتند: «فی الحقیقت، خدا به امت‌ها نیز توبه حیات‌بخش را عطا کرده است!» | ۱۸ 18 |
After [those Jewish believers] heard what Peter said, they stopped criticizing [him. Instead], they praised God, saying, “Then it is [clear to us that] God has also accepted the non-Jews so that they will have eternal life, if they turn from their sinful behavior [and believe in Jesus]!”
| و آنانی که به‌سبب اذیتی که در مقدمه استیفان برپا شد متفرق شدند، تا فینیقیا و قپرس وانطاکیه می‌گشتند و به هیچ‌کس به غیر از یهود وبس کلام را نگفتند. | ۱۹ 19 |
After [people had killed] Stephen, many of the believers left [Jerusalem and went] to other places, because people were causing them to suffer [there in Jerusalem. Some of] them went to Phoenicia [region], some went to Cyprus [Island], and others went to Antioch [city in Syria province. In those places] they were continually telling people the message [about Jesus], but they told only other Jewish people.
| لیکن بعضی از ایشان که از اهل قپرس و قیروان بودند، چون به انطاکیه رسیدند با یونانیان نیز تکلم کردند و به خداوندعیسی بشارت می‌دادند، | ۲۰ 20 |
Some of the believers were men from Cyprus and from Cyrene [city in north Africa]. They went to Antioch, and [although they told other Jews about] the Lord Jesus, they also told non-Jewish people [there].
| و دست خداوند باایشان می‌بود و جمعی کثیر ایمان آورده، به سوی خداوند بازگشت کردند. | ۲۱ 21 |
The Lord [God] [MTY] was powerfully enabling those [believers to preach effectively. As a result], very many [non-Jewish] people believed [their message and] trusted in the Lord [Jesus].
| اما چون خبر ایشان به سمع کلیسای اورشلیم رسید، برنابا را به انطاکیه فرستادند | ۲۲ 22 |
The group of believers in Jerusalem heard [MTY] [people say that many people in Antioch were believing in Jesus. So] the [leaders] of the congregation in [Jerusalem] asked Barnabas to go to Antioch.
| و چون رسید و فیض خدا را دید، شادخاطر شده، همه را نصیحت نمود که ازتصمیم قلب به خداوند بپیوندند. | ۲۳ 23 |
When he got [there], he realized that God had acted kindly toward [the believers. So] he was very happy, and he continually encouraged all of the [believers] to continue to trust completely in the Lord [Jesus].
| زیرا که مردی صالح و پر از روح‌القدس و ایمان بود وگروهی بسیار به خداوند ایمان آوردند. | ۲۴ 24 |
Barnabas was a good man [whom] the Holy Spirit completely controlled, one who trusted [God] completely. [Because of what Barnabas did], many people [there] believed in the Lord [Jesus].
| و برنابابه طرسوس برای طلب سولس رفت و چون او رایافت به انطاکیه آورد. | ۲۵ 25 |
Then Barnabas went to Tarsus [in Cilicia province to try] to find Saul.
| و ایشان سالی تمام درکلیسا جمع می‌شدند و خلقی بسیار را تعلیم می‌دادند و شاگردان نخست در انطاکیه به مسیحی مسمی شدند. | ۲۶ 26 |
After he found him, Barnabas brought him [back to] Antioch [to help teach the believers. So during] a whole year [Barnabas and Saul] met [regularly] with the congregation [there] and taught many of them [about Jesus. It was] at Antioch that the believers were first called Christians {[that people] first called the believers Christians}.
| و در آن ایام انبیایی چند از اورشلیم به انطاکیه آمدند | ۲۷ 27 |
During the time [that Barnabas and Saul were] at Antioch, some [believers who were] prophets arrived there from Jerusalem.
| که یکی از ایشان اغابوس نام برخاسته، به روح اشاره کرد که قحطی شدید درتمامی ربع مسکون خواهد شد و آن در ایام کلودیوس قیصر پدید آمد. | ۲۸ 28 |
One of them, whose name was Agabus, stood up [in order to speak]. [God’s] Spirit enabled him to prophesy (that there would soon be a famine in many countries/that [people] in many countries [HYP] would soon [suffer because they] would not have enough [food] to eat). (That famine happened when Claudius was the [Roman Emperor].)
| و شاگردان مصمم آن شدند که هر یک برحسب مقدور خود، اعانتی برای برادران ساکن یهودیه بفرستند. | ۲۹ 29 |
When the believers [there heard what Agabus said], they decided that they would send [money] to help the believers who lived in Judea. Each [of them decided to give as much money] as he was able [to give].
| پس چنین کردند و آن را به‌دست برنابا و سولس نزد کشیشان روانه نمودند. | ۳۰ 30 |
They sent [the money] with Barnabas and Saul to the leaders of the congregation [in Jerusalem].
