Acts of the Apostles 20

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	SMITH VAN DYKE
1 When the disturbance was over, Paul had the disciples summoned and, after encouraging them, he bade them farewell and set out on his journey to Macedonia.	1 وبعد ما انتهى الشغب دعا بولس التلاميذ وودعهم وخرج ليذهب الى مكدونية‎.
2 As he traveled throughout those regions, he provided many words of encouragement for them. Then he arrived in Greece,	2 ‎ولما كان قد اجتاز في تلك النواحي ووعظهم بكلام كثير جاء الى هلاس
3 where he stayed for three months. But when a plot was made against him by the Jews as he was about to set sail for Syria, he decided to return by way of Macedonia.	3 فصرف ثلاثة اشهر. ثم اذ حصلت مكيدة من اليهود عليه وهو مزمع ان يصعد الى سورية صار رأي ان يرجع على طريق مكدونية‎.
4 Sopater, the son of Pyrrhus, from Beroea, accompanied him, as did Aristarchus and Secundus from Thessalonica, Gaius from Derbe, Timothy, and Tychicus and Trophimus from Asia	4 ‎فرافقه الى اسيا سوباترس البيري. ومن اهل تسالونيكي ارسترخس وسكوندس وغايوس الدربي وتيموثاوس. ومن اهل اسيا تيخيكس وتروفيمس‎.
5 who went on ahead and waited for us at Troas.	5 ‎هؤلاء سبقوا وانتظرونا في ترواس‎.
6 We sailed from Philippi after the feast of Unleavened Bread, and rejoined them five days later in Troas, where we spent a week.	6 ‎واما نحن فسافرنا في البحر بعد ايام الفطير من فيلبي ووافيناهم في خمسة ايام الى ترواس حيث صرفنا سبعة ايام
7 On the first day of the week when we gathered to break bread, Paul spoke to them because he was going to leave on the next day, and he kept on speaking until midnight.	7 وفي اول الاسبوع اذ كان التلاميذ مجتمعين ليكسروا خبزا خاطبهم بولس وهو مزمع ان يمضي في الغد واطال الكلام الى نصف الليل‎.
8 There were many lamps in the upstairs room where we were gathered,	8 ‎وكانت مصابيح كثيرة في العليّة التي كانوا مجتمعين فيها‎.
9 and a young man named Eutychus who was sitting on the window sill was sinking into a deep sleep as Paul talked on and on. Once overcome by sleep, he fell down from the third story and when he was picked up, he was dead.	9 ‎وكان شاب اسمه افتيخوس جالسا في الطاقة متثقلا بنوم عميق. واذ كان بولس يخاطب خطابا طويلا غلب عليه النوم فسقط من الطبقة الثالثة الى اسفل وحمل ميتا‎.
10 Paul went down, threw himself upon him, and said as he embraced him, "Don't be alarmed; there is life in him."	10 ‎فنزل بولس ووقع عليه واعتنقه قائلا لا تضطربوا لان نفسه فيه‎.
11 Then he returned upstairs, broke the bread, and ate; after a long conversation that lasted until daybreak, he departed.	11 ‎ثم صعد وكسر خبزا واكل وتكلم كثيرا الى الفجر. وهكذا خرج‎.
12 And they took the boy away alive and were immeasurably comforted.	12 ‎وأتوا بالفتى حيّا وتعزوا تعزية ليست بقليلة
13 We went ahead to the ship and set sail for Assos where we were to take Paul on board, as he had arranged, since he was going overland.	13 واما نحن فسبقنا الى السفينة واقلعنا الى اسوس مزمعين ان نأخذ بولس من هناك لانه كان قد رتب هكذا مزمعا ان يمشي‎.
14 When he met us in Assos, we took him aboard and went on to Mitylene.	14 ‎فلما وافانا الى اسوس اخذناه وأتينا الى ميتيليني‎.
15 We sailed away from there on the next day and reached a point off Chios, and a day later we reached Samos, and on the following day we arrived at Miletus.	15 ‎ثم سافرنا من هناك في البحر واقبلنا في الغد الى مقابل خيوس‏‎. ‎وفي اليوم الآخر وصلنا الى ساموس واقمنا في تروجيليون ثم في اليوم التالي جئنا الى ميليتس‎.
16 Paul had decided to sail past Ephesus in order not to lose time in the province of Asia, for he was hurrying to be in Jerusalem, if at all possible, for the day of Pentecost.	16 ‎لان بولس عزم ان يتجاوز افسس في البحر لئلا يعرض له ان يصرف وقتا في اسيا. لانه كان يسرع حتى اذا امكنه يكون في اورشليم في يوم الخمسين
17 From Miletus he had the presbyters of the church at Ephesus summoned.	17 ومن ميليتس ارسل الى افسس واستدعى قسوس الكنيسة‎.
18 When they came to him, he addressed them, "You know how I lived among you the whole time from the day I first came to the province of Asia.	18 ‎فلما جاءوا اليه قال لهم انتم تعلمون من اول يوم دخلت اسيا كيف كنت معكم كل الزمان‎.
19 I served the Lord with all humility and with the tears and trials that came to me because of the plots of the Jews,	19 ‎اخدم الرب بكل تواضع ودموع كثيرة وبتجارب اصابتني بمكايد اليهود.
20 and I did not at all shrink from telling you what was for your benefit, or from teaching you in public or in your homes.	20 كيف لم أؤخر شيئا من الفوائد الا واخبرتكم وعلمتكم به جهرا وفي كل بيت‎.
21 I earnestly bore witness for both Jews and Greeks to repentance before God and to faith in our Lord Jesus.	21 ‎شاهدا لليهود واليونانيين بالتوبة الى الله والايمان الذي بربنا يسوع المسيح‎.
22 But now, compelled by the Spirit, I am going to Jerusalem. What will happen to me there I do not know,	22 ‎والآن ها انا اذهب الى اورشليم مقيدا بالروح لا اعلم ماذا يصادفني هناك‎.
23 except that in one city after another the holy Spirit has been warning me that imprisonment and hardships await me.	23 ‎غير ان الروح القدس يشهد في كل مدينة قائلا ان وثقا وشدائد تنتظرني‎.
24 Yet I consider life of no importance to me, if only I may finish my course and the ministry that I received from the Lord Jesus, to bear witness to the gospel of God's grace.	24 ‎ولكنني لست احتسب لشيء ولا نفسي ثمينة عندي حتى اتمم بفرح سعيي والخدمة التي اخذتها من الرب يسوع لاشهد ببشارة نعمة الله‎.
25 "But now I know that none of you to whom I preached the kingdom during my travels will ever see my face again.	25 ‎والآن ها انا اعلم انكم لا ترون وجهي ايضا انتم جميعا الذين مررت بينكم كارزا بملكوت الله‎.
26 And so I solemnly declare to you this day that I am not responsible for the blood of any of you,	26 ‎لذلك أشهدكم اليوم هذا اني بريء من دم الجميع‎.
27 for I did not shrink from proclaiming to you the entire plan of God.	27 ‎لاني لم أؤخر ان اخبركم بكل مشورة الله‎.
28 Keep watch over yourselves and over the whole flock of which the holy Spirit has appointed you overseers, in which you tend the church of God that he acquired with his own blood.	28 ‎احترزوا اذا لانفسكم ولجميع الرعية التي اقامكم الروح القدس فيها اساقفة لترعوا كنيسة الله التي اقتناها بدمه‎.
29 I know that after my departure savage wolves will come among you, and they will not spare the flock.	29 ‎لاني اعلم هذا انه بعد ذهابي سيدخل بينكم ذئاب خاطفة لا تشفق على الرعية‎.
30 And from your own group, men will come forward perverting the truth to draw the disciples away after them.	30 ‎ومنكم انتم سيقوم رجال يتكلمون بامور ملتوية ليجتذبوا التلاميذ وراءهم‎.
31 So be vigilant and remember that for three years, night and day, I unceasingly admonished each of you with tears.	31 ‎لذلك اسهروا متذكرين اني ثلاث سنين ليلا ونهارا لم افتر عن ان انذر بدموع كل واحد‎.
32 And now I commend you to God and to that gracious word of his that can build you up and give you the inheritance among all who are consecrated.	32 ‎والآن استودعكم يا اخوتي للّه ولكلمة نعمته القادرة ان تبنيكم وتعطيكم ميراثا مع جميع المقدسين‎.
33 I have never wanted anyone's silver or gold or clothing.	33 ‎فضة او ذهب او لباس احد لم اشته‎.
34 You know well that these very hands have served my needs and my companions.	34 ‎انتم تعلمون ان حاجاتي وحاجات الذين معي خدمتها هاتان اليدان‎.
35 In every way I have shown you that by hard work of that sort we must help the weak, and keep in mind the words of the Lord Jesus who himself said, 'It is more blessed to give than to receive.'"	35 ‎في كل شيء اريتكم انه هكذا ينبغي انكم تتعبون وتعضدون الضعفاء متذكرين كلمات الرب يسوع انه قال مغبوط هو العطاء اكثر من الاخذ‎.
36 When he had finished speaking he knelt down and prayed with them all.	36 ‎ولما قال هذا جثا على ركبتيه مع جميعهم وصلّى‎.
37 They were all weeping loudly as they threw their arms around Paul and kissed him,	37 ‎وكان بكاء عظيم من الجميع ووقعوا على عنق بولس يقبلونه
38 for they were deeply distressed that he had said that they would never see his face again. Then they escorted him to the ship.	38 متوجعين ولا سيما من الكلمة التي قالها انهم لن يروا وجهه ايضا. ثم شيعوه الى السفينة
