Atti degli Apostoli (اعمال) 17

SMITH VAN DYKE	NEW JERUSALEM
1 فاجتازا في امفيبوليس وابولونية وأتيا الى تسالونيكي حيث كان مجمع اليهود‎.	1 Passing through Amphipolis and Apol onia, they eventual y reached Thessalonica, where there was aJewish synagogue.
2 ‎فدخل بولس اليهم حسب عادته وكان يحاجهم ثلاثة سبوت من الكتب	2 Paul as usual went in and for three consecutive Sabbaths developed the arguments from scripture forthem,
3 موضحا ومبينا انه كان ينبغي ان المسيح يتألم ويقوم من الاموات‎. ‎وان هذا هو المسيح يسوع الذي انا انادي لكم به‏‎.	3 explaining and proving how it was ordained that the Christ should suffer and rise from the dead. 'Andthe Christ', he said, 'is this Jesus whom I am proclaiming 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, and so did a great many godfearing peopleand Greeks, as wel as a number of the leading 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 The Jews, ful of resentment, enlisted the help of a gang from the market place, stirred up a crowd, andsoon had the whole city in an uproar. They made for Jason's house, hoping to bring them before the People'sAssembly;
6 ‎ولما لم يجدوهما جرّوا ياسون واناسا من الاخوة الى حكام المدينة صارخين ان هؤلاء الذين فتنوا المسكونة حضروا الى ههنا ايضا‎.	6 however, they found only Jason and some of the brothers, and these they dragged before the citycouncil, shouting, 'The people who have been turning the whole world upside down have come here now;
7 ‎وقد قبلهم ياسون. وهؤلاء كلهم يعملون ضد احكام قيصر قائلين انه يوجد ملك آخر يسوع‎.	7 they have been staying at Jason's. They have broken Caesar's edicts by claiming that there is anotherking, Jesus.'
8 ‎فازعجوا الجمع وحكام المدينة اذ سمعوا هذا‎.	8 Hearing this, the citizens and the city council ors were alarmed,
9 ‎فاخذوا كفالة من ياسون ومن الباقين ثم اطلقوهم	9 and they made Jason and the rest give security before setting them free.
10 واما الاخوة فللوقت ارسلوا بولس وسيلا ليلا الى بيرية وهما لما وصلا مضيا الى مجمع اليهود‎.	10 When it was dark the brothers immediately sent Paul and Silas away to Beroea, where they went tothe Jewish synagogue as soon as they arrived.
11 ‎وكان هؤلاء اشرف من الذين في تسالونيكي فقبلوا الكلمة بكل نشاط فاحصين الكتب كل يوم هل هذه الامور هكذا‎.	11 Here the Jews were more noble-minded than those in Thessalonica, and they welcomed the wordvery readily; every day they studied the scriptures to check whether it was true.
12 ‎فآمن منهم كثيرون ومن النساء اليونانيات الشريفات ومن الرجال عدد ليس بقليل	12 Many of them became believers, and so did many Greek women of high standing and a number ofthe men.
13 فلما علم اليهود الذين من تسالونيكي انه في بيرية ايضا نادى بولس بكلمة الله جاءوا يهيجون الجموع هناك ايضا‎.	13 When the Jews of Thessalonica came to learn that the word of God was being preached by Paul inBeroea as wel , they went there to make trouble and stir up the people.
14 ‎فحينئذ ارسل الاخوة بولس للوقت ليذهب كما الى البحر. واما سيلا وتيموثاوس فبقيا هناك‎.	14 So the brothers arranged for Paul to go immediately as far as the coast, leaving Silas and Timothybehind.
15 ‎والذين صاحبوا بولس جاءوا به الى اثينا. ولما اخذوا وصية الى سيلا وتيموثاوس ان يأتيا اليه باسرع ما يمكن مضوا	15 Paul's escort took him as far as Athens, and went back with instructions for Silas and Timothy torejoin Paul as soon as they could.
16 وبينما بولس ينتظرهما في اثينا احتدت روحه فيه اذ رأى المدينة مملوءة اصناما‎.	16 Paul waited for them in Athens and there his whole soul was revolted at the sight of a city given overto idolatry.
17 ‎فكان يكلم في المجمع اليهود المتعبدين والذين يصادفونه في السوق كل يوم‎.	17 In the synagogue he debated with the Jews and the godfearing, and in the market place he debatedevery day with anyone whom he met.
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 a few Epicurean and Stoic philosophers argued with him. Some said, 'What can this parrotmean?' And, because he was preaching about Jesus and Resurrection, others said, 'He seems to be apropagandist for some outlandish gods.'
19 ‎فاخذوه وذهبوا به الى اريوس باغوس قائلين هل يمكننا ان نعرف ما هو هذا التعليم الجديد الذي تتكلم به‎.	19 They got him to accompany them to the Areopagus, where they said to him, 'Can we know what thisnew doctrine is that you are teaching?
20 ‎لانك تأتي الى مسامعنا بامور غريبة فنريد ان نعلم ما عسى ان تكون هذه‎.	20 Some of the things you say seemed startling to us and we would like to find out what they mean.'
21 ‎اما الاثينيّون اجمعون والغرباء المستوطنون فلا يتفرغون لشيء آخر الا لان يتكلموا او يسمعوا شيئا حديثا	21 The one amusement the Athenians and the foreigners living there seem to have is to discuss andlisten to the latest ideas.
22 فوقف بولس في وسط اريوس باغوس وقال. ايها الرجال الاثينيّون اراكم من كل وجه كانكم متدينون كثيرا‎.	22 So Paul stood before the whole council of the Areopagus and made this speech: 'Men of Athens, Ihave seen for myself how extremely scrupulous you are in all religious matters,
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 because, as I strol ed round looking at your sacred monuments, I noticed among other things an altarinscribed: To An Unknown God. In fact, the unknown God you revere is the one 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 'Since the God who made the world and everything in it is himself Lord of heaven and earth, he doesnot make his home in shrines 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 in need of anything, that he should be served by human hands; on the contrary, it is he whogives everything -- including life and breath -- to everyone.
26 ‎وصنع من دم واحد كل امة من الناس يسكنون على كل وجه الارض وحتم بالاوقات المعينة وبحدود مسكنهم‎.	26 From one single principle he not only created the whole human race so that they could occupy theentire earth, but he decreed the times and limits of their habitation.
27 ‎لكي يطلبوا الله لعلهم يتلمسونه فيجدوه مع انه عن كل واحد منا ليس بعيدا‎.	27 And he did this so that they might seek the deity and, by feeling their way towards him, succeed infinding him; and indeed he is not far from any of us,
28 ‎لاننا به نحيا ونتحرك ونوجد. كما قال بعض شعرائكم ايضا لاننا ايضا ذريته‎.	28 since it is in him that we live, and move, and exist, as indeed some of your own writers have said: Weare al his children.
29 ‎فاذ نحن ذرية الله لا ينبغي ان نظن ان اللاهوت شبيه بذهب او فضة او حجر نقش صناعة واختراع انسان‎.	29 'Since we are the children of God, we have no excuse for thinking that the deity looks like anything ingold, silver or stone that has been carved and designed by a man.
30 ‎فالله الآن يامر جميع الناس في كل مكان ان يتوبوا متغاضيا عن ازمنة الجهل‎.	30 'But now, overlooking the times of ignorance, God is tel ing everyone everywhere that they mustrepent,
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 fixed a day when the whole world will be judged in uprightness by a man he hasappointed. And God has publicly proved this by raising him from the dead.'
32 ولما سمعوا بالقيامة من الاموات كان البعض يستهزئون والبعض يقولون سنسمع منك عن هذا ايضا‎.	32 At this mention of rising from the dead, some of them burst out laughing; others said, 'We would liketo hear you talk about this another time.'
33 ‎وهكذا خرج بولس من وسطهم‎.	33 After that Paul left them,
34 ‎ولكن اناسا التصقوا به وآمنوا. منهم ديونيسيوس الاريوباغي وامرأة اسمها دامرس وآخرون معهما	34 but there were some who attached themselves to him and became believers, among them Dionysiusthe Aeropagite and a woman cal ed Damaris, and others besides.
