Acts of the Apostles 10

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	SMITH VAN DYKE
1 Now in Caesarea there was a man named Cornelius, a centurion of the Cohort called the Italica,	1 وكان في قيصرية رجل اسمه كرنيليوس قائد مئة من الكتيبة التي تدعى الايطالية‎.
2 devout and God-fearing along with his whole household, who used to give alms generously to the Jewish people and pray to God constantly.	2 ‎وهو تقي وخائف الله مع جميع بيته يصنع حسنات كثيرة للشعب ويصلّي الى الله في كل حين‎.
3 One afternoon about three o'clock, he saw plainly in a vision an angel of God come in to him and say to him, "Cornelius."	3 ‎فرأى ظاهرا في رؤيا نحو الساعة التاسعة من النهار ملاكا من الله داخلا اليه وقائلا له يا كرنيليوس‎.
4 He looked intently at him and, seized with fear, said, "What is it, sir?" He said to him, "Your prayers and almsgiving have ascended as a memorial offering before God.	4 ‎فلما شخص اليه ودخله الخوف قال ماذا يا سيد. فقال له. صلواتك وصدقاتك صعدت تذكارا امام الله‎.
5 Now send some men to Joppa and summon one Simon who is called Peter.	5 ‎والآن ارسل الى يافا رجالا واستدع سمعان الملقب بطرس‎.
6 He is staying with another Simon, a tanner, who has a house by the sea."	6 ‎انه نازل عند سمعان رجل دباغ بيته عند البحر. هو يقول لك ماذا ينبغي ان تفعل‎.
7 When the angel who spoke to him had left, he called two of his servants and a devout soldier from his staff,	7 ‎فلما انطلق الملاك الذي كان يكلم كرنيليوس نادى اثنين من خدامه وعسكريا تقيا من الذين كانوا يلازمونه
8 explained everything to them, and sent them to Joppa.	8 واخبرهم بكل شيء وارسلهم الى يافا
9 The next day, while they were on their way and nearing the city, Peter went up to the roof terrace to pray at about noontime.	9 ثم في الغد فيما هم يسافرون ويقتربون الى المدينة صعد بطرس على السطح ليصلّي نحو الساعة السادسة‎.
10 He was hungry and wished to eat, and while they were making preparations he fell into a trance.	10 ‎فجاع كثيرا واشتهى ان يأكل. وبينما هم يهيئون له وقعت عليه غيبة‎.
11 He saw heaven opened and something resembling a large sheet coming down, lowered to the ground by its four corners.	11 ‎فرأى السماء مفتوحة واناء نازلا عليه مثل ملاءة عظيمة مربوطة باربعة اطراف ومدلاة على الارض‎.
12 In it were all the earth's four-legged animals and reptiles and the birds of the sky.	12 ‎وكان فيها كل دواب الارض والوحوش والزحافات وطيور السماء‎.
13 A voice said to him, "Get up, Peter. Slaughter and eat."	13 ‎وصار اليه صوت قم يا بطرس اذبح وكل‎.
14 But Peter said, "Certainly not, sir. For never have I eaten anything profane and unclean."	14 ‎فقال بطرس كلا يا رب لاني لم آكل قط شيئا دنسا او نجسا‎.
15 The voice spoke to him again, a second time, "What God has made clean, you are not to call profane."	15 ‎فصار اليه ايضا صوت ثانية ما طهره الله لا تدنسه انت‎.
16 This happened three times, and then the object was taken up into the sky.	16 ‎وكان هذا على ثلاث مرات ثم ارتفع الاناء ايضا الى السماء
17 While Peter was in doubt about the meaning of the vision he had seen, the men sent by Cornelius asked for Simon's house and arrived at the entrance.	17 واذ كان بطرس يرتاب في نفسه ماذا عسى ان تكون الرؤيا التي رآها اذا الرجال الذين ارسلوا من قبل كرنيليوس. وكانوا قد سألوا عن بيت سمعان وقد وقفوا على الباب
18 They called out inquiring whether Simon, who is called Peter, was staying there.	18 ونادوا يستخبرون هل سمعان الملقب بطرس نازل هناك‎.
19 As Peter was pondering the vision, the Spirit said (to him), "There are three men here looking for you.	19 ‎وبينما بطرس متفكر في الرؤيا قال له الروح هوذا ثلاثة رجال يطلبونك‎.
20 So get up, go downstairs, and accompany them without hesitation, because I have sent them."	20 ‎لكن قم وانزل واذهب معهم غير مرتاب في شيء لاني انا قد ارسلتهم.
21 Then Peter went down to the men and said, "I am the one you are looking for. What is the reason for your being here?"	21 فنزل بطرس الى الرجال الذين أرسلوا اليه من قبل كرنيليوس وقال ها انا الذي تطلبونه. ما هو السبب الذي حضرتم لاجله‎.
22 They answered, "Cornelius, a centurion, an upright and God-fearing man, respected by the whole Jewish nation, was directed by a holy angel to summon you to his house and to hear what you have to say."	22 ‎فقالوا ان كرنيليوس قائد مئة رجلا بارا وخائف الله ومشهودا له من كل امة اليهود أوحي اليه بملاك مقدس ان يستدعيك الى بيته ويسمع منك كلاما‎.
23 So he invited them in and showed them hospitality. The next day he got up and went with them, and some of the brothers from Joppa went with him.	23 ‎فدعاهم الى داخل واضافهم. ثم في الغد خرج بطرس معهم واناس من الاخوة الذين من يافا رافقوه
24 On the following day he entered Caesarea. Cornelius was expecting them and had called together his relatives and close friends.	24 وفي الغد دخلوا قيصرية. واما كرنيليوس فكان ينتظرهم وقد دعا انسباءه واصدقاءه الاقربين‎.
25 When Peter entered, Cornelius met him and, falling at his feet, paid him homage.	25 ‎ولما دخل بطرس استقبله كرنيليوس وسجد واقعا على قدميه‎.
26 Peter, however, raised him up, saying, "Get up. I myself am also a human being."	26 ‎فاقامه بطرس قائلا قم انا ايضا انسان‎.
27 While he conversed with him, he went in and found many people gathered together	27 ‎ثم دخل وهو يتكلم معه ووجد كثيرين مجتمعين‎.
28 and said to them, "You know that it is unlawful for a Jewish man to associate with, or visit, a Gentile, but God has shown me that I should not call any person profane or unclean.	28 ‎فقال لهم انتم تعلمون كيف هو محرم على رجل يهودي ان يلتصق باحد اجنبي او يأتي اليه. واما انا فقد أراني الله ان لا اقول عن انسان ما انه دنس او نجس‎.
29 And that is why I came without objection when sent for. May I ask, then, why you summoned me?"	29 ‎فلذلك جئت من دون مناقضة اذ استدعيتموني. فاستخبركم لاي سبب استدعيتموني‎.
30 Cornelius replied, "Four days ago at this hour, three o'clock in the afternoon, I was at prayer in my house when suddenly a man in dazzling robes stood before me and said,	30 ‎فقال كرنيليوس منذ اربعة ايام الى هذه الساعة كنت صائما. وفي الساعة التاسعة كنت اصلّي في بيتي واذا رجل قد وقف امامي بلباس لامع
31 'Cornelius, your prayer has been heard and your almsgiving remembered before God.	31 وقال يا كرنيليوس سمعت صلاتك وذكرت صدقاتك امام الله‎.
32 Send therefore to Joppa and summon Simon, who is called Peter. He is a guest in the house of Simon, a tanner, by the sea.'	32 ‎فارسل الى يافا واستدعي سمعان الملقب بطرس. انه نازل في بيت سمعان رجل دباغ عند البحر. فهو متى جاء يكلمك‎.
33 So I sent for you immediately, and you were kind enough to come. Now therefore we are all here in the presence of God to listen to all that you have been commanded by the Lord."	33 ‎فارسلت اليك حالا. وانت فعلت حسنا اذ جئت. والآن نحن جميعا حاضرون امام الله لنسمع جميع ما امرك به الله
34 Then Peter proceeded to speak and said, "In truth, I see that God shows no partiality.	34 ففتح بطرس فاه وقال. بالحق انا اجد ان الله لا يقبل الوجوه‎.
35 Rather, in every nation whoever fears him and acts uprightly is acceptable to him.	35 ‎بل في كل امة الذي يتقيه ويصنع البر مقبول عنده
36 You know the word (that) he sent to the Israelites as he proclaimed peace through Jesus Christ, who is Lord of all,	36 الكلمة التي ارسلها الى بني اسرائيل يبشر بالسلام بيسوع المسيح. هذا هو رب الكل‎.
37 what has happened all over Judea, beginning in Galilee after the baptism that John preached,	37 ‎انتم تعلمون الامر الذي صار في كل اليهودية مبتدئا من الجليل بعد المعمودية التي كرز بها يوحنا‎.
38 how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the holy Spirit and power. He went about doing good and healing all those oppressed by the devil, for God was with him.	38 ‎يسوع الذي من الناصرة كيف مسحه الله بالروح القدس والقوة الذي جال يصنع خيرا ويشفي جميع المتسلط عليهم ابليس لان الله كان معه‎.
39 We are witnesses of all that he did both in the country of the Jews and (in) Jerusalem. They put him to death by hanging him on a tree.	39 ‎ونحن شهود بكل ما فعل في كورة اليهودية وفي اورشليم. الذي ايضا قتلوه معلقين اياه على خشبة‎.
40 This man God raised (on) the third day and granted that he be visible,	40 ‎هذا اقامه الله في اليوم الثالث واعطى ان يصير ظاهرا
41 not to all the people, but to us, the witnesses chosen by God in advance, who ate and drank with him after he rose from the dead.	41 ليس لجميع الشعب بل لشهود سبق الله فانتخبهم. لنا نحن الذين اكلنا وشربنا معه بعد قيامته من الاموات‎.
42 He commissioned us to preach to the people and testify that he is the one appointed by God as judge of the living and the dead.	42 ‎واوصانا ان نكرز للشعب ونشهد بان هذا هو المعين من الله ديانا للاحياء والاموات‎.
43 To him all the prophets bear witness, that everyone who believes in him will receive forgiveness of sins through his name."	43 ‎له يشهد جميع الانبياء ان كل من يؤمن به ينال باسمه غفران الخطايا
44 While Peter was still speaking these things, the holy Spirit fell upon all who were listening to the word.	44 فبينما بطرس يتكلم بهذه الامور حل الروح القدس على جميع الذين كانوا يسمعون الكلمة‎.
45 The circumcised believers who had accompanied Peter were astounded that the gift of the holy Spirit should have been poured out on the Gentiles also,	45 ‎فاندهش المؤمنون الذين من اهل الختان كل من جاء مع بطرس لان موهبة الروح القدس قد انسكبت على الامم ايضا‎.
46 for they could hear them speaking in tongues and glorifying God. Then Peter responded,	46 ‎لانهم كانوا يسمعونهم يتكلمون بألسنة ويعظمون الله. حينئذ اجاب بطرس
47 "Can anyone withhold the water for baptizing these people, who have received the holy Spirit even as we have?"	47 أترى يستطيع احد ان يمنع الماء حتى لا يعتمد هؤلاء الذين قبلوا الروح القدس كما نحن ايضا‎.
48 He ordered them to be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ.	48 ‎وامر ان يعتمدوا باسم الرب. حينئذ سألوه ان يمكث اياما
49 Then they invited him to stay for a few days.
