Acts of the Apostles 8

KING JAMES BIBLE	SMITH VAN DYKE
1 And Saul was consenting unto his death. And at that time there was a great persecution against the church which was at Jerusalem; and they were all scattered abroad throughout the regions of Judaea and Samaria, except the apostles.	1 وكان شاول راضيا بقتله. وحدث في ذلك اليوم اضطهاد عظيم على الكنيسة التي في اورشليم فتشتت الجميع في كور اليهودية والسامرة ما عدا الرسل‎.
2 And devout men carried Stephen to his burial, and made great lamentation over him.	2 ‎وحمل رجال اتقياء استفانوس وعملوا عليه مناحة عظيمة‎.
3 As for Saul, he made havock of the church, entering into every house, and haling men and women committed them to prison.	3 ‎واما شاول فكان يسطو على الكنيسة وهو يدخل البيوت ويجر رجالا ونساء ويسلمهم الى السجن
4 Therefore they that were scattered abroad went every where preaching the word.	4 فالذين تشتتوا جالوا مبشرين بالكلمة‎.
5 Then Philip went down to the city of Samaria, and preached Christ unto them.	5 ‎فانحدر فيلبس الى مدينة من السامرة وكان يكرز لهم بالمسيح‎.
6 And the people with one accord gave heed unto those things which Philip spake, hearing and seeing the miracles which he did.	6 ‎وكان الجموع يصغون بنفس واحدة الى ما يقوله فيلبس عند استماعهم ونظرهم الآيات التي صنعها‎.
7 For unclean spirits, crying with loud voice, came out of many that were possessed with them: and many taken with palsies, and that were lame, were healed.	7 ‎لان كثيرين من الذين بهم ارواح نجسة كانت تخرج صارخة بصوت عظيم‎. ‎وكثيرون من المفلوجين والعرج شفوا‎.
8 And there was great joy in that city.	8 ‎فكان فرح عظيم في تلك المدينة
9 But there was a certain man, called Simon, which beforetime in the same city used sorcery, and bewitched the people of Samaria, giving out that himself was some great one:	9 وكان قبلا في المدينة رجل اسمه سيمون يستعمل السحر ويدهش شعب السامرة قائلا انه شيء عظيم‎.
10 To whom they all gave heed, from the least to the greatest, saying, This man is the great power of God.	10 ‎وكان الجميع يتبعونه من الصغير الى الكبير قائلين هذا هو قوة الله العظيمة‎.
11 And to him they had regard, because that of long time he had bewitched them with sorceries.	11 ‎وكانوا يتبعونه لكونهم قد اندهشوا زمانا طويلا بسحره‎.
12 But when they believed Philip preaching the things concerning the kingdom of God, and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women.	12 ‎ولكن لما صدقوا فيلبس وهو يبشر بالامور المختصة بملكوت الله وباسم يسوع المسيح اعتمدوا رجالا ونساء‎.
13 Then Simon himself believed also: and when he was baptized, he continued with Philip, and wondered, beholding the miracles and signs which were done.	13 ‎وسيمون ايضا نفسه آمن. ولما اعتمد كان يلازم فيلبس. واذ رأى آيات وقوات عظيمة تجرى اندهش
14 Now when the apostles which were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent unto them Peter and John:	14 ولما سمع الرسل الذين في اورشليم ان السامرة قد قبلت كلمة الله ارسلوا اليهم بطرس ويوحنا‎.
15 Who, when they were come down, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Ghost:	15 ‎اللذين لما نزلا صلّيا لاجلهم لكي يقبلوا الروح القدس‎.
16 (For as yet he was fallen upon none of them: only they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.)	16 ‎لانه لم يكن قد حل بعد على احد منهم. غير انهم كانوا معتمدين باسم الرب يسوع‎.
17 Then laid they their hands on them, and they received the Holy Ghost.	17 ‎حينئذ وضعا الايادي عليهم فقبلوا الروح القدس‎.
18 And when Simon saw that through laying on of the apostles' hands the Holy Ghost was given, he offered them money,	18 ‎ولما رأى سيمون انه بوضع ايدي الرسل يعطى الروح القدس قدم لهما دراهم
19 Saying, Give me also this power, that on whomsoever I lay hands, he may receive the Holy Ghost.	19 قائلا اعطياني انا ايضا هذا السلطان حتى اي من وضعت عليه يديّ يقبل الروح القدس‎.
20 But Peter said unto him, Thy money perish with thee, because thou hast thought that the gift of God may be purchased with money.	20 ‎فقال له بطرس لتكن فضتك معك للهلاك لانك ظننت ان تقتني موهبة الله بدراهم‎.
21 Thou hast neither part nor lot in this matter: for thy heart is not right in the sight of God.	21 ‎ليس لك نصيب ولا قرعة في هذا الامر. لان قلبك ليس مستقيما امام الله‎.
22 Repent therefore of this thy wickedness, and pray God, if perhaps the thought of thine heart may be forgiven thee.	22 ‎فتب من شرك هذا واطلب الى الله عسى ان يغفر لك فكر قلبك‎.
23 For I perceive that thou art in the gall of bitterness, and in the bond of iniquity.	23 ‎لاني اراك في مرارة المرّ ورباط الظلم‎.
24 Then answered Simon, and said, Pray ye to the Lord for me, that none of these things which ye have spoken come upon me.	24 ‎فاجاب سيمون وقال اطلبا انتما الى الرب من اجلي لكي لا يأتي علي شيء مما ذكرتما‎.
25 And they, when they had testified and preached the word of the Lord, returned to Jerusalem, and preached the gospel in many villages of the Samaritans.	25 ‎ثم انهما بعدما شهدا وتكلما بكلمة الرب رجعا الى اورشليم وبشرا‏ قرى كثيرة للسامريين
26 And the angel of the Lord spake unto Philip, saying, Arise, and go toward the south unto the way that goeth down from Jerusalem unto Gaza, which is desert.	26 ثم ان ملاك الرب كلم فيلبس قائلا قم واذهب نحو الجنوب على الطريق المنحدرة من اورشليم الى غزة التي هي برية‎.
27 And he arose and went: and, behold, a man of Ethiopia, an eunuch of great authority under Candace queen of the Ethiopians, who had the charge of all her treasure, and had come to Jerusalem for to worship,	27 ‎فقام وذهب. واذا رجل حبشي خصي وزير لكنداكة ملكة الحبشة كان على جميع خزائنها. فهذا كان قد جاء الى اورشليم ليسجد‎.
28 Was returning, and sitting in his chariot read Esaias the prophet.	28 ‎وكان راجعا وجالسا على مركبته وهو يقرأ النبي اشعياء‎.
29 Then the Spirit said unto Philip, Go near, and join thyself to this chariot.	29 ‎فقال الروح لفيلبس تقدم ورافق هذه المركبة‎.
30 And Philip ran thither to him, and heard him read the prophet Esaias, and said, Understandest thou what thou readest?	30 ‎فبادر اليه فيلبس وسمعه يقرأ النبي اشعياء فقال ألعلك تفهم ما انت تقرأ‎.
31 And he said, How can I, except some man should guide me? And he desired Philip that he would come up and sit with him.	31 ‎فقال كيف يمكنني ان لم يرشدني احد. وطلب الى فيلبس ان يصعد ويجلس معه‎.
32 The place of the scripture which he read was this, He was led as a sheep to the slaughter; and like a lamb dumb before his shearer, so opened he not his mouth:	32 ‎واما فصل الكتاب الذي كان يقرأه فكان هذا. مثل شاة سيق الى الذبح ومثل خروف صامت امام الذي يجزه هكذا لم يفتح فاه‎.
33 In his humiliation his judgment was taken away: and who shall declare his generation? for his life is taken from the earth.	33 ‎في تواضعه انتزع قضاؤه وجيله من يخبر به لان حياته تنتزع من الارض‎.
34 And the eunuch answered Philip, and said, I pray thee, of whom speaketh the prophet this? of himself, or of some other man?	34 ‎فاجاب الخصي فيلبس وقال اطلب اليك. عن من يقول النبي هذا. عن نفسه ام عن واحد آخر‎.
35 Then Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same scripture, and preached unto him Jesus.	35 ‎ففتح فيلبس فاه وابتدأ من هذا الكتاب فبشره بيسوع
36 And as they went on their way, they came unto a certain water: and the eunuch said, See, here is water; what doth hinder me to be baptized?	36 وفيما هما سائران في الطريق اقبلا على ماء. فقال الخصي هوذا ماء. ماذا يمنع ان اعتمد‎.
37 And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.	37 ‎فقال فيلبس ان كنت تؤمن من كل قلبك يجوز. فاجاب وقال انا اؤمن‏ ان يسوع المسيح هو ابن الله‎.
38 And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they went down both into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he baptized him.	38 ‎فامر ان تقف المركبة فنزلا كلاهما الى الماء فيلبس والخصي فعمده.
39 And when they were come up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip, that the eunuch saw him no more: and he went on his way rejoicing.	39 ولما صعدا من الماء خطف روح الرب فيلبس فلم يبصره الخصي ايضا‎. ‎وذهب في طريقه فرحا‎.
40 But Philip was found at Azotus: and passing through he preached in all the cities, till he came to Caesarea.	40 ‎واما فيلبس فوجد في اشدود. وبينما هو مجتاز كان يبشر جميع المدن حتى جاء الى قيصرية
