Atti degli Apostoli (اعمال) 17

SMITH VAN DYKE	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 فاجتازا في امفيبوليس وابولونية وأتيا الى تسالونيكي حيث كان مجمع اليهود‎.	1 When they took the road through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they reached Thessalonica, where there was a synagogue of the Jews.
2 ‎فدخل بولس اليهم حسب عادته وكان يحاجهم ثلاثة سبوت من الكتب	2 Following his usual custom, Paul joined them, and for three sabbaths he entered into discussions with them from the scriptures,
3 موضحا ومبينا انه كان ينبغي ان المسيح يتألم ويقوم من الاموات‎. ‎وان هذا هو المسيح يسوع الذي انا انادي لكم به‏‎.	3 expounding and demonstrating that the Messiah had to suffer and rise from the dead, and that "This is the Messiah, Jesus, whom I proclaim to you."
4 ‎فاقتنع قوم منهم وانحازوا الى بولس وسيلا ومن اليونانيين المتعبدين جمهور كثير ومن النساء المتقدمات عدد ليس بقليل‎.	4 Some of them were convinced and joined Paul and Silas; so, too, a great number of Greeks who were worshipers, and not a few of the prominent women.
5 ‎فغار اليهود غير المؤمنين واتخذوا رجالا اشرارا من اهل السوق وتجمعوا وسجسوا المدينة وقاموا على بيت ياسون طالبين ان يحضروهما الى الشعب‎.	5 But the Jews became jealous and recruited some worthless men loitering in the public square, formed a mob, and set the city in turmoil. They marched on the house of Jason, intending to bring them before the people's assembly.
6 ‎ولما لم يجدوهما جرّوا ياسون واناسا من الاخوة الى حكام المدينة صارخين ان هؤلاء الذين فتنوا المسكونة حضروا الى ههنا ايضا‎.	6 When they could not find them, they dragged Jason and some of the brothers before the city magistrates, shouting, "These people who have been creating a disturbance all over the world have now come here,
7 ‎وقد قبلهم ياسون. وهؤلاء كلهم يعملون ضد احكام قيصر قائلين انه يوجد ملك آخر يسوع‎.	7 and Jason has welcomed them. They all act in opposition to the decrees of Caesar and claim instead that there is another king, Jesus."
8 ‎فازعجوا الجمع وحكام المدينة اذ سمعوا هذا‎.	8 They stirred up the crowd and the city magistrates who, upon hearing these charges,
9 ‎فاخذوا كفالة من ياسون ومن الباقين ثم اطلقوهم	9 took a surety payment from Jason and the others before releasing them.
10 واما الاخوة فللوقت ارسلوا بولس وسيلا ليلا الى بيرية وهما لما وصلا مضيا الى مجمع اليهود‎.	10 The brothers immediately sent Paul and Silas to Beroea during the night. Upon arrival they went to the synagogue of the Jews.
11 ‎وكان هؤلاء اشرف من الذين في تسالونيكي فقبلوا الكلمة بكل نشاط فاحصين الكتب كل يوم هل هذه الامور هكذا‎.	11 These Jews were more fair-minded than those in Thessalonica, for they received the word with all willingness and examined the scriptures daily to determine whether these things were so.
12 ‎فآمن منهم كثيرون ومن النساء اليونانيات الشريفات ومن الرجال عدد ليس بقليل	12 Many of them became believers, as did not a few of the influential Greek women and men.
13 فلما علم اليهود الذين من تسالونيكي انه في بيرية ايضا نادى بولس بكلمة الله جاءوا يهيجون الجموع هناك ايضا‎.	13 But when the Jews of Thessalonica learned that the word of God had now been proclaimed by Paul in Beroea also, they came there too to cause a commotion and stir up the crowds.
14 ‎فحينئذ ارسل الاخوة بولس للوقت ليذهب كما الى البحر. واما سيلا وتيموثاوس فبقيا هناك‎.	14 So the brothers at once sent Paul on his way to the seacoast, while Silas and Timothy remained behind.
15 ‎والذين صاحبوا بولس جاءوا به الى اثينا. ولما اخذوا وصية الى سيلا وتيموثاوس ان يأتيا اليه باسرع ما يمكن مضوا	15 After Paul's escorts had taken him to Athens, they came away with instructions for Silas and Timothy to join him as soon as possible.
16 وبينما بولس ينتظرهما في اثينا احتدت روحه فيه اذ رأى المدينة مملوءة اصناما‎.	16 While Paul was waiting for them in Athens, he grew exasperated at the sight of the city full of idols.
17 ‎فكان يكلم في المجمع اليهود المتعبدين والذين يصادفونه في السوق كل يوم‎.	17 So he debated in the synagogue with the Jews and with the worshipers, and daily in the public square with whoever happened to be there.
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.	18 Even some of the Epicurean and Stoic philosophers engaged him in discussion. Some asked, "What is this scavenger trying to say?" Others said, "He sounds like a promoter of foreign deities," because he was preaching about 'Jesus' and 'Resurrection.'
19 ‎فاخذوه وذهبوا به الى اريوس باغوس قائلين هل يمكننا ان نعرف ما هو هذا التعليم الجديد الذي تتكلم به‎.	19 They took him and led him to the Areopagus and said, "May we learn what this new teaching is that you speak of?
20 ‎لانك تأتي الى مسامعنا بامور غريبة فنريد ان نعلم ما عسى ان تكون هذه‎.	20 For you bring some strange notions to our ears; we should like to know what these things mean."
21 ‎اما الاثينيّون اجمعون والغرباء المستوطنون فلا يتفرغون لشيء آخر الا لان يتكلموا او يسمعوا شيئا حديثا	21 Now all the Athenians as well as the foreigners residing there used their time for nothing else but telling or hearing something new.
22 فوقف بولس في وسط اريوس باغوس وقال. ايها الرجال الاثينيّون اراكم من كل وجه كانكم متدينون كثيرا‎.	22 Then Paul stood up at the Areopagus and said: "You Athenians, I see that in every respect you are very religious.
23 ‎لانني بينما كنت اجتاز وانظر الى معبوداتكم وجدت ايضا مذبحا مكتوبا عليه. لاله مجهول. فالذي تتقونه وانتم تجهلونه هذا انا انادي لكم به‎.	23 For as I walked around looking carefully at your shrines, I even discovered an altar inscribed, 'To an Unknown God.' What therefore you unknowingly worship, I proclaim to you.
24 ‎الاله الذي خلق العالم وكل ما فيه هذا اذ هو رب السماء والارض لا يسكن في هياكل مصنوعة بالايادي‎.	24 The God who made the world and all that is in it, the Lord of heaven and earth, does not dwell in sanctuaries made by human hands,
25 ‎ولا يخدم بايادي الناس كانه محتاج الى شيء. اذ هو يعطي الجميع حياة ونفسا وكل شيء‎.	25 nor is he served by human hands because he needs anything. Rather it is he who gives to everyone life and breath and everything.
26 ‎وصنع من دم واحد كل امة من الناس يسكنون على كل وجه الارض وحتم بالاوقات المعينة وبحدود مسكنهم‎.	26 He made from one the whole human race to dwell on the entire surface of the earth, and he fixed the ordered seasons and the boundaries of their regions,
27 ‎لكي يطلبوا الله لعلهم يتلمسونه فيجدوه مع انه عن كل واحد منا ليس بعيدا‎.	27 so that people might seek God, even perhaps grope for him and find him, though indeed he is not far from any one of us.
28 ‎لاننا به نحيا ونتحرك ونوجد. كما قال بعض شعرائكم ايضا لاننا ايضا ذريته‎.	28 For 'In him we live and move and have our being,' as even some of your poets have said, 'For we too are his offspring.'
29 ‎فاذ نحن ذرية الله لا ينبغي ان نظن ان اللاهوت شبيه بذهب او فضة او حجر نقش صناعة واختراع انسان‎.	29 Since therefore we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the divinity is like an image fashioned from gold, silver, or stone by human art and imagination.
30 ‎فالله الآن يامر جميع الناس في كل مكان ان يتوبوا متغاضيا عن ازمنة الجهل‎.	30 God has overlooked the times of ignorance, but now he demands that all people everywhere repent
31 ‎لانه اقام يوما هو فيه مزمع ان يدين المسكونة بالعدل برجل قد عينه مقدما للجميع ايمانا اذ اقامه من الاموات	31 because he has established a day on which he will 'judge the world with justice' through a man he has appointed, and he has provided confirmation for all by raising him from the dead."
32 ولما سمعوا بالقيامة من الاموات كان البعض يستهزئون والبعض يقولون سنسمع منك عن هذا ايضا‎.	32 When they heard about resurrection of the dead, some began to scoff, but others said, "We should like to hear you on this some other time."
33 ‎وهكذا خرج بولس من وسطهم‎.	33 And so Paul left them.
34 ‎ولكن اناسا التصقوا به وآمنوا. منهم ديونيسيوس الاريوباغي وامرأة اسمها دامرس وآخرون معهما	34 But some did join him, and became believers. Among them were Dionysius, a member of the Court of the Areopagus, a woman named Damaris, and others with them.
