Acts of the Apostles 13

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	SMITH VAN DYKE
1 Now there were in the church at Antioch prophets and teachers: Barnabas, Symeon who was called Niger, Lucius of Cyrene, Manaen who was a close friend of Herod the tetrarch, and Saul.	1 وكان في انطاكية في الكنيسة هناك انبياء ومعلمون برنابا وسمعان الذي يدعى نيجر ولوكيوس القيرواني ومناين الذي تربى مع هيرودس رئيس الربع وشاول‎.
2 While they were worshiping the Lord and fasting, the holy Spirit said, "Set apart for me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them."	2 ‎وبينما هم يخدمون الرب ويصومون قال الروح القدس افرزوا لي برنابا وشاول للعمل الذي دعوتهما اليه‎.
3 Then, completing their fasting and prayer, they laid hands on them and sent them off.	3 ‎فصاموا حينئذ وصلّوا ووضعوا عليهما الايادي ثم اطلقوهما
4 So they, sent forth by the holy Spirit, went down to Seleucia and from there sailed to Cyprus.	4 فهذان اذ ارسلا من الروح القدس انحدرا الى سلوكية ومن هناك سافرا في البحر الى قبرس‎.
5 When they arrived in Salamis, they proclaimed the word of God in the Jewish synagogues. They had John also as their assistant.	5 ‎ولما صارا في سلاميس ناديا بكلمة الله في مجامع اليهود. وكان معهما يوحنا خادما‎.
6 When they had traveled through the whole island as far as Paphos, they met a magician named Bar-Jesus who was a Jewish false prophet.	6 ‎ولما اجتازا الجزيرة الى بافوس وجدا رجلا ساحرا نبيا كذابا يهوديا اسمه باريشوع‎.
7 He was with the proconsul Sergius Paulus, a man of intelligence, who had summoned Barnabas and Saul and wanted to hear the word of God.	7 ‎كان مع الوالي سرجيوس بولس وهو رجل فهيم. فهذا دعا برنابا وشاول والتمس ان يسمع كلمة الله‎.
8 But Elymas the magician (for that is what his name means) opposed them in an attempt to turn the proconsul away from the faith.	8 ‎فقاومهما عليم الساحر. لان هكذا يترجم اسمه. طالبا ان يفسد الوالي عن الايمان
9 But Saul, also known as Paul, filled with the holy Spirit, looked intently at him	9 واما شاول الذي هو بولس ايضا فامتلأ من الروح القدس وشخص اليه‎.
10 and said, "You son of the devil, you enemy of all that is right, full of every sort of deceit and fraud. Will you not stop twisting the straight paths of (the) Lord?	10 ‎وقال ايها الممتلئ كل غش وكل خبث يا ابن ابليس يا عدو كل بر ألا‏ تزال تفسد سبل الله المستقيمة‎.
11 Even now the hand of the Lord is upon you. You will be blind, and unable to see the sun for a time." Immediately a dark mist fell upon him, and he went about seeking people to lead him by the hand.	11 ‎فالآن هوذا يد الرب عليك فتكون اعمى لا تبصر الشمس الى حين‎. ‎ففي الحال سقط عليه ضباب وظلمة فجعل يدور ملتمسا من يقوده بيده‎.
12 When the proconsul saw what had happened, he came to believe, for he was astonished by the teaching about the Lord.	12 ‎فالوالي حينئذ لما رأى ما جرى آمن مندهشا من تعليم الرب
13 From Paphos, Paul and his companions set sail and arrived at Perga in Pamphylia. But John left them and returned to Jerusalem.	13 ثم اقلع من بافوس بولس ومن معه وأتوا الى برجة بمفيلية. واما يوحنا ففارقهم ورجع الى اورشليم‎.
14 They continued on from Perga and reached Antioch in Pisidia. On the sabbath they entered (into) the synagogue and took their seats.	14 ‎واما هم فجازوا من برجة وأتوا الى انطاكية بيسيدية ودخلوا المجمع يوم السبت وجلسوا‎.
15 After the reading of the law and the prophets, the synagogue officials sent word to them, "My brothers, if one of you has a word of exhortation for the people, please speak."	15 ‎وبعد قراءة الناموس والانبياء ارسل اليهم رؤساء المجمع قائلين‏ ايها الرجال الاخوة ان كانت عندكم كلمة وعظ للشعب فقولوا‎.
16 So Paul got up, motioned with his hand, and said, "Fellow Israelites and you others who are God-fearing, listen.	16 ‎فقام بولس واشار بيده وقال ايها الرجال الاسرائيليون والذين يتقون الله اسمعوا‎.
17 The God of this people Israel chose our ancestors and exalted the people during their sojourn in the land of Egypt. With uplifted arm he led them out of it	17 ‎اله شعب اسرائيل هذا اختار آباءنا ورفع الشعب في الغربة في ارض مصر. وبذراع مرتفعة اخرجهم منها‎.
18 and for about forty years he put up with them in the desert.	18 ‎ونحو مدة اربعين سنة احتمل عوائدهم في البرية‎.
19 When he had destroyed seven nations in the land of Canaan, he gave them their land as an inheritance	19 ‎ثم اهلك سبع امم في ارض كنعان وقسم لهم ارضهم بالقرعة‎.
20 at the end of about four hundred and fifty years. After these things he provided judges up to Samuel (the) prophet.	20 ‎وبعد ذلك في نحو اربع مئة وخمسين سنة اعطاهم قضاة حتى صموئيل النبي‎.
21 Then they asked for a king. God gave them Saul, son of Kish, a man from the tribe of Benjamin, for forty years.	21 ‎ومن ثم طلبوا ملكا فاعطاهم الله شاول بن قيس رجلا من سبط بنيامين اربعين سنة‎.
22 Then he removed him and raised up David as their king; of him he testified, 'I have found David, son of Jesse, a man after my own heart; he will carry out my every wish.'	22 ‎ثم عزله واقام لهم داود ملكا الذي شهد له ايضا اذ قال وجدت داود بن يسّى رجلا حسب قلبي الذي سيصنع كل مشيئتي‎.
23 From this man's descendants God, according to his promise, has brought to Israel a savior, Jesus.	23 ‎من نسل هذا حسب الوعد اقام الله لاسرائيل مخلّصا يسوع‎.
24 John heralded his coming by proclaiming a baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel;	24 ‎اذ سبق يوحنا فكرز قبل مجيئه بمعمودية التوبة لجميع شعب اسرائيل.
25 and as John was completing his course, he would say, 'What do you suppose that I am? I am not he. Behold, one is coming after me; I am not worthy to unfasten the sandals of his feet.'	25 ولما صار يوحنا يكمل سعيه جعل يقول من تظنون اني انا. لست انا اياه لكن هوذا يأتي بعدي الذي لست مستحقا ان احل حذاء قدميه
26 "My brothers, children of the family of Abraham, and those others among you who are God-fearing, to us this word of salvation has been sent.	26 ايها الرجال الاخوة بني جنس ابراهيم والذين بينكم يتقون الله اليكم أرسلت كلمة هذا الخلاص‎.
27 The inhabitants of Jerusalem and their leaders failed to recognize him, and by condemning him they fulfilled the oracles of the prophets that are read sabbath after sabbath.	27 ‎لان الساكنين في اورشليم ورؤساءهم لم يعرفوا هذا. واقوال الانبياء التي تقرأ كل سبت تمموها اذ حكموا عليه‎.
28 For even though they found no grounds for a death sentence, they asked Pilate to have him put to death,	28 ‎ومع انهم لم يجدوا علة واحدة للموت طلبوا من بيلاطس ان يقتل‎.
29 and when they had accomplished all that was written about him, they took him down from the tree and placed him in a tomb.	29 ‎ولما تمموا كل ما كتب عنه انزلوه عن الخشبة ووضعوه في قبر‎.
30 But God raised him from the dead,	30 ‎ولكن الله اقامه من الاموات‎.
31 and for many days he appeared to those who had come up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem. These are (now) his witnesses before the people.	31 ‎وظهر اياما كثيرة للذين صعدوا معه من الجليل الى اورشليم الذين هم شهوده عند الشعب‎.
32 We ourselves are proclaiming this good news to you that what God promised our ancestors	32 ‎ونحن نبشركم بالموعد الذي صار لآبائنا
33 he has brought to fulfillment for us, (their) children, by raising up Jesus, as it is written in the second psalm, 'You are my son; this day I have begotten you.'	33 ان الله قد اكمل هذا لنا نحن اولادهم اذ اقام يسوع كما هو مكتوب ايضا في المزمور الثاني انت ابني انا اليوم ولدتك‎.
34 And that he raised him from the dead never to return to corruption he declared in this way, 'I shall give you the benefits assured to David.'	34 ‎انه اقامه من الاموات غير عتيد ان يعود ايضا الى فساد فهكذا قال اني ساعطيكم مراحم داود الصادقة‎.
35 That is why he also says in another psalm, 'You will not suffer your holy one to see corruption.'	35 ‎ولذلك قال ايضا في مزمور آخر لن تدع قدوسك يرى فسادا‎.
36 Now David, after he had served the will of God in his lifetime, fell asleep, was gathered to his ancestors, and did see corruption.	36 ‎لان داود بعدما خدم جيله بمشورة الله رقد وانضمّ الى آبائه ورأى فسادا‎.
37 But the one whom God raised up did not see corruption.	37 ‎واما الذي اقامه الله فلم ير فسادا‎.
38 You must know, my brothers, that through him forgiveness of sins is being proclaimed to you, (and) in regard to everything from which you could not be justified under the law of Moses,	38 ‎فليكن معلوما عندكم ايها الرجال الاخوة انه بهذا ينادى لكم بغفران الخطايا‎.
39 in him every believer is justified.	39 ‎بهذا يتبرر كل من يؤمن من كل ما لم تقدروا ان تتبرروا منه بناموس موسى‎.
40 Be careful, then, that what was said in the prophets not come about:	40 ‎فانظروا لئلا يأتي عليكم ما قيل في الانبياء
41 'Look on, you scoffers, be amazed and disappear. For I am doing a work in your days, a work that you will never believe even if someone tells you.'"	41 انظروا ايها المتهاونون وتعجبوا واهلكوا لانني عملا اعمل في ايامكم. عملا لا تصدقون ان اخبركم احد به
42 As they were leaving, they invited them to speak on these subjects the following sabbath.	42 وبعد ما خرج اليهود من المجمع جعل الامم يطلبون اليهما ان يكلماهم بهذا الكلام في السبت القادم‎.
43 After the congregation had dispersed, many Jews and worshipers who were converts to Judaism followed Paul and Barnabas, who spoke to them and urged them to remain faithful to the grace of God.	43 ‎ولما انفضت الجماعة تبع كثيرون من اليهود والدخلاء المتعبدين بولس وبرنابا اللذين كانا يكلمانهم ويقنعانهم ان يثبتوا في نعمة الله.
44 On the following sabbath almost the whole city gathered to hear the word of the Lord.	44 وفي السبت التالي اجتمعت كل المدينة تقريبا لتسمع كلمة الله‎.
45 When the Jews saw the crowds, they were filled with jealousy and with violent abuse contradicted what Paul said.	45 ‎فلما رأى اليهود الجموع امتلأوا غيرة وجعلوا يقاومون ما قاله بولس مناقضين ومجدفين‎.
46 Both Paul and Barnabas spoke out boldly and said, "It was necessary that the word of God be spoken to you first, but since you reject it and condemn yourselves as unworthy of eternal life, we now turn to the Gentiles.	46 ‎فجاهر بولس وبرنابا وقالا كان يجب ان تكلّموا انتم اولا بكلمة الله ولكن اذ دفعتموها عنكم وحكمتم انكم غير مستحقين للحياة الابدية هوذا نتوجه الى الامم‎.
47 For so the Lord has commanded us, 'I have made you a light to the Gentiles, that you may be an instrument of salvation to the ends of the earth.'"	47 ‎لان هكذا اوصانا الرب. قد اقمتك نورا للامم لتكون انت خلاصا الى اقصى الارض‎.
48 The Gentiles were delighted when they heard this and glorified the word of the Lord. All who were destined for eternal life came to believe,	48 ‎فلما سمع الامم ذلك كانوا يفرحون ويمجدون كلمة الرب. وآمن جميع الذين كانوا معيّنين للحياة الابدية‎.
49 and the word of the Lord continued to spread through the whole region.	49 ‎وانتشرت كلمة الرب في كل الكورة‎.
50 The Jews, however, incited the women of prominence who were worshipers and the leading men of the city, stirred up a persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and expelled them from their territory.	50 ‎ولكن اليهود حركوا النساء المتعبدات الشريفات ووجوه المدينة واثاروا اضطهادا على بولس وبرنابا واخرجوهما من تخومهم‎.
51 So they shook the dust from their feet in protest against them and went to Iconium.	51 ‎اما هما فنفضا غبار ارجلهما عليهم وأتيا الى ايقونية‎.
52 The disciples were filled with joy and the holy Spirit.	52 ‎واما التلاميذ فكانوا يمتلئون من الفرح والروح القدس
