Acts of the Apostles 17

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	SMITH VAN DYKE
1 Now when they had walked through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they arrived at Thessalonica, where there was a synagogue of the Jews.	1 فاجتازا في امفيبوليس وابولونية وأتيا الى تسالونيكي حيث كان مجمع اليهود‎.
2 Then Paul, according to custom, entered to them. And for three Sabbaths he disputed with them about the Scriptures,	2 ‎فدخل بولس اليهم حسب عادته وكان يحاجهم ثلاثة سبوت من الكتب
3 interpreting and concluding that it was necessary for the Christ to suffer and to rise again from the dead, and that “this is the Jesus Christ, whom I am announcing to you.”	3 موضحا ومبينا انه كان ينبغي ان المسيح يتألم ويقوم من الاموات‎. ‎وان هذا هو المسيح يسوع الذي انا انادي لكم به‏‎.
4 And some of them believed and were joined to Paul and Silas, and a great number of these were from the worshipers and the Gentiles, and not a few were noble women.	4 ‎فاقتنع قوم منهم وانحازوا الى بولس وسيلا ومن اليونانيين المتعبدين جمهور كثير ومن النساء المتقدمات عدد ليس بقليل‎.
5 But the Jews, being jealous, and joining with certain evildoers among the common men, caused a disturbance, and they stirred up the city. And taking up a position near the house of Jason, they sought to lead them out to the people.	5 ‎فغار اليهود غير المؤمنين واتخذوا رجالا اشرارا من اهل السوق وتجمعوا وسجسوا المدينة وقاموا على بيت ياسون طالبين ان يحضروهما الى الشعب‎.
6 And when they had not found them, they dragged Jason and certain brothers to the rulers of the city, crying out: “For these are the ones who have stirred up the city. And they came here,	6 ‎ولما لم يجدوهما جرّوا ياسون واناسا من الاخوة الى حكام المدينة صارخين ان هؤلاء الذين فتنوا المسكونة حضروا الى ههنا ايضا‎.
7 and Jason has received them. And all these men act contrary to the decrees of Caesar, saying that there is another king, Jesus.”	7 ‎وقد قبلهم ياسون. وهؤلاء كلهم يعملون ضد احكام قيصر قائلين انه يوجد ملك آخر يسوع‎.
8 And they incited the people. And the rulers of the city, upon hearing these things,	8 ‎فازعجوا الجمع وحكام المدينة اذ سمعوا هذا‎.
9 and having received an explanation from Jason and the others, released them.	9 ‎فاخذوا كفالة من ياسون ومن الباقين ثم اطلقوهم
10 Yet truly, the brothers promptly sent Paul and Silas away by night to Beroea. And when they had arrived, they entered the synagogue of the Jews.	10 واما الاخوة فللوقت ارسلوا بولس وسيلا ليلا الى بيرية وهما لما وصلا مضيا الى مجمع اليهود‎.
11 But these were more noble than those who were at Thessalonica. They received the Word with all enthusiasm, daily examining the Scriptures to see if these things were so.	11 ‎وكان هؤلاء اشرف من الذين في تسالونيكي فقبلوا الكلمة بكل نشاط فاحصين الكتب كل يوم هل هذه الامور هكذا‎.
12 And indeed, many believed among them, as well as not a few among the honorable Gentile men and women.	12 ‎فآمن منهم كثيرون ومن النساء اليونانيات الشريفات ومن الرجال عدد ليس بقليل
13 Then, when the Jews of Thessalonica had realized that the Word of God was also preached by Paul at Beroea, they went there also, stirring up and disturbing the multitude.	13 فلما علم اليهود الذين من تسالونيكي انه في بيرية ايضا نادى بولس بكلمة الله جاءوا يهيجون الجموع هناك ايضا‎.
14 And then the brothers quickly sent Paul away, so that he might travel by sea. But Silas and Timothy remained there.	14 ‎فحينئذ ارسل الاخوة بولس للوقت ليذهب كما الى البحر. واما سيلا وتيموثاوس فبقيا هناك‎.
15 Then those who were leading Paul brought him as far as Athens. And having received an order from him to Silas and Timothy, that they should come to him quickly, they set out.	15 ‎والذين صاحبوا بولس جاءوا به الى اثينا. ولما اخذوا وصية الى سيلا وتيموثاوس ان يأتيا اليه باسرع ما يمكن مضوا
16 Now while Paul waited for them at Athens, his spirit was stirred up within him, seeing the city given over to idolatry.	16 وبينما بولس ينتظرهما في اثينا احتدت روحه فيه اذ رأى المدينة مملوءة اصناما‎.
17 And so, he was disputing with the Jews in the synagogue, and with the worshipers, and in public places, throughout each day, with whomever was there.	17 ‎فكان يكلم في المجمع اليهود المتعبدين والذين يصادفونه في السوق كل يوم‎.
18 Now certain Epicurean and Stoic philosophers were arguing with him. And some were saying, “What does this sower of the Word want to say?” Yet others were saying, “He seems to be an announcer for new demons.” For he was announcing to them Jesus and the Resurrection.	18 ‎فقابله قوم من الفلاسفة الابيكوريين والرواقيين وقال بعض ترى ماذا يريد هذا المهذار ان يقول. وبعض انه يظهر مناديا بآلهة غريبة . لانه كان يبشرهم بيسوع والقيامة‎.
19 And apprehending him, they brought him to the Areopagus, saying: “Are we able to know what this new doctrine is, about which you speak?	19 ‎فاخذوه وذهبوا به الى اريوس باغوس قائلين هل يمكننا ان نعرف ما هو هذا التعليم الجديد الذي تتكلم به‎.
20 For you bring certain new ideas to our ears. And so we would like to know what these things mean.”	20 ‎لانك تأتي الى مسامعنا بامور غريبة فنريد ان نعلم ما عسى ان تكون هذه‎.
21 (Now all the Athenians, and arriving visitors, were occupying themselves with nothing other than speaking or hearing various new ideas.)	21 ‎اما الاثينيّون اجمعون والغرباء المستوطنون فلا يتفرغون لشيء آخر الا لان يتكلموا او يسمعوا شيئا حديثا
22 But Paul, standing in the middle of the Areopagus, said: “Men of Athens, I perceive that in all things you are rather superstitious.	22 فوقف بولس في وسط اريوس باغوس وقال. ايها الرجال الاثينيّون اراكم من كل وجه كانكم متدينون كثيرا‎.
23 For as I was passing by and noticing your idols, I also found an altar, on which was written: TO THE UNKNOWN GOD. Therefore, what you worship in ignorance, this is what I am preaching to you:	23 ‎لانني بينما كنت اجتاز وانظر الى معبوداتكم وجدت ايضا مذبحا مكتوبا عليه. لاله مجهول. فالذي تتقونه وانتم تجهلونه هذا انا انادي لكم به‎.
24 the God who made the world and all that is in it, the One who is the Lord of heaven and earth, who does not live in temples made with hands.	24 ‎الاله الذي خلق العالم وكل ما فيه هذا اذ هو رب السماء والارض لا يسكن في هياكل مصنوعة بالايادي‎.
25 Neither is he served by the hands of men, as if in need of anything, since it is he who gives to all things life and breath and all else.	25 ‎ولا يخدم بايادي الناس كانه محتاج الى شيء. اذ هو يعطي الجميع حياة ونفسا وكل شيء‎.
26 And he has made, out of one, every family of man: to live upon the face of the entire earth, determining the appointed seasons and the limits of their habitation,	26 ‎وصنع من دم واحد كل امة من الناس يسكنون على كل وجه الارض وحتم بالاوقات المعينة وبحدود مسكنهم‎.
27 so as to seek God, if perhaps they may consider him or find him, though he is not far from each one of us.	27 ‎لكي يطلبوا الله لعلهم يتلمسونه فيجدوه مع انه عن كل واحد منا ليس بعيدا‎.
28 ‘For in him we live, and move, and exist.’ Just as some of your own poets have said. ‘For we are also of his family.’	28 ‎لاننا به نحيا ونتحرك ونوجد. كما قال بعض شعرائكم ايضا لاننا ايضا ذريته‎.
29 Therefore, since we are of the family of God, we must not consider gold or silver or precious stones, or the engravings of art and of the imagination of man, to be a representation of what is Divine.	29 ‎فاذ نحن ذرية الله لا ينبغي ان نظن ان اللاهوت شبيه بذهب او فضة او حجر نقش صناعة واختراع انسان‎.
30 And indeed, God, having looked down to see the ignorance of these times, has now announced to men that everyone everywhere should do penance.	30 ‎فالله الآن يامر جميع الناس في كل مكان ان يتوبوا متغاضيا عن ازمنة الجهل‎.
31 For he has appointed a day on which he will judge the world in equity, through the man whom he has appointed, offering faith to all, by raising him from the dead.”	31 ‎لانه اقام يوما هو فيه مزمع ان يدين المسكونة بالعدل برجل قد عينه مقدما للجميع ايمانا اذ اقامه من الاموات
32 And when they had heard about the Resurrection of the dead, indeed, some were derisive, while others said, “We will listen to you about this again.”	32 ولما سمعوا بالقيامة من الاموات كان البعض يستهزئون والبعض يقولون سنسمع منك عن هذا ايضا‎.
33 So Paul departed from their midst.	33 ‎وهكذا خرج بولس من وسطهم‎.
34 Yet truly, certain men, adhering to him, did believe. Among these were also Dionysius the Areopagite, and a woman named Damaris, and others with them.	34 ‎ولكن اناسا التصقوا به وآمنوا. منهم ديونيسيوس الاريوباغي وامرأة اسمها دامرس وآخرون معهما
