Acts of the Apostles 4

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	SMITH VAN DYKE
1 While they were still speaking to the people, the priests, the captain of the temple guard, and the Sadducees confronted them,	1 وبينما هما يخاطبان الشعب اقبل عليهما الكهنة وقائد جند الهيكل والصدوقيون
2 disturbed that they were teaching the people and proclaiming in Jesus the resurrection of the dead.	2 متضجرين من تعليمهما الشعب وندائهما في يسوع بالقيامة من الاموات.
3 They laid hands on them and put them in custody until the next day, since it was already evening.	3 فالقوا عليهما الايادي ووضعوهما في حبس الى الغد لانه كان قد صار المساء‎.
4 But many of those who heard the word came to believe and (the) number of men grew to (about) five thousand.	4 ‎وكثيرون من الذين سمعوا الكلمة آمنوا وصار عدد الرجال نحو خمسة آلاف
5 On the next day, their leaders, elders, and scribes were assembled in Jerusalem,	5 وحدث في الغد ان رؤساءهم وشيوخهم وكتبتهم اجتمعوا الى اورشليم
6 with Annas the high priest, Caiaphas, John, Alexander, and all who were of the high-priestly class.	6 مع حنان رئيس الكهنة وقيافا ويوحنا والاسكندر وجميع الذين كانوا من عشيرة رؤساء الكهنة‎.
7 They brought them into their presence and questioned them, "By what power or by what name have you done this?"	7 ‎ولما اقاموهما في الوسط جعلوا يسألونهما باية قوة وباي اسم صنعتما انتما هذا‎.
8 Then Peter, filled with the holy Spirit, answered them, "Leaders of the people and elders:	8 ‎حينئذ امتلأ بطرس من الروح القدس وقال لهم يا رؤساء الشعب وشيوخ اسرائيل
9 If we are being examined today about a good deed done to a cripple, namely, by what means he was saved,	9 ان كنا نفحص اليوم عن احسان الى انسان سقيم بماذا شفي هذا
10 then all of you and all the people of Israel should know that it was in the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarean whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead; in his name this man stands before you healed.	10 فليكن معلوما عند جميعكم وجميع شعب اسرائيل انه باسم يسوع المسيح الناصري الذي صلبتموه انتم الذي اقامه الله من الاموات. بذاك وقف هذا امامكم صحيحا‎.
11 He is 'the stone rejected by you, the builders, which has become the cornerstone.'	11 ‎هذا هو الحجر الذي احتقرتموه ايها البناؤون الذي صار راس الزاوية.
12 There is no salvation through anyone else, nor is there any other name under heaven given to the human race by which we are to be saved."	12 وليس باحد غيره الخلاص. لان ليس اسم آخر تحت السماء قد أعطي بين الناس به ينبغي ان نخلص
13 Observing the boldness of Peter and John and perceiving them to be uneducated, ordinary men, they were amazed, and they recognized them as the companions of Jesus.	13 فلما رأوا مجاهرة بطرس ويوحنا ووجدوا انهما انسانان عديما العلم وعاميّان تعجبوا. فعرفوهما انهما كانا مع يسوع‎.
14 Then when they saw the man who had been cured standing there with them, they could say nothing in reply.	14 ‎ولكن اذ نظروا الانسان الذي شفي واقفا معهما لم يكن لهم شيء يناقضون به‎.
15 So they ordered them to leave the Sanhedrin, and conferred with one another, saying,	15 ‎فامروهما ان يخرجا الى خارج المجمع وتآمروا فيما بينهم
16 "What are we to do with these men? Everyone living in Jerusalem knows that a remarkable sign was done through them, and we cannot deny it.	16 قائلين. ماذا نفعل بهذين الرجلين. لانه ظاهر لجميع سكان اورشليم ان آية معلومة قد جرت بايديهما ولا نقدر ان ننكر‏‎.
17 But so that it may not be spread any further among the people, let us give them a stern warning never again to speak to anyone in this name."	17 ‎ولكن لئلا تشيع اكثر في الشعب لنهددهما تهديدا ان لا يكلما احدا من الناس فيما بعد بهذا الاسم‎.
18 So they called them back and ordered them not to speak or teach at all in the name of Jesus.	18 ‎فدعوهما واوصوهما ان لا ينطقا البتة ولا يعلّما باسم يسوع
19 Peter and John, however, said to them in reply, "Whether it is right in the sight of God for us to obey you rather than God, you be the judges.	19 فاجابهم بطرس ويوحنا وقالا ان كان حقا امام الله ان نسمع لكم اكثر من الله فاحكموا‎.
20 It is impossible for us not to speak about what we have seen and heard."	20 ‎لاننا نحن لا يمكننا ان لا نتكلم بما رأينا وسمعنا‎.
21 After threatening them further, they released them, finding no way to punish them, on account of the people who were all praising God for what had happened.	21 ‎وبعدما هددوهما ايضا اطلقوهما اذ لم يجدوا البتة كيف يعاقبونهما بسبب الشعب. لان الجميع كانوا يمجدون الله على ما جرى‎.
22 For the man on whom this sign of healing had been done was over forty years old.	22 ‎لان الانسان الذي صارت فيه آية الشفاء هذه كان له اكثر من اربعين سنة
23 After their release they went back to their own people and reported what the chief priests and elders had told them.	23 ولما اطلقا أتيا الى رفقائهما واخبراهم بكل ما قاله لهما رؤساء الكهنة والشيوخ‎.
24 And when they heard it, they raised their voices to God with one accord and said, "Sovereign Lord, maker of heaven and earth and the sea and all that is in them,	24 ‎فلما سمعوا رفعوا بنفس واحدة صوتا الى الله وقالوا ايها السيد انت هو الاله الصانع السماء والارض والبحر وكل ما فيها‎.
25 you said by the holy Spirit through the mouth of our father David, your servant: 'Why did the Gentiles rage and the peoples entertain folly?	25 ‎القائل بفم داود فتاك لماذا ارتجّت الامم وتفكر الشعوب بالباطل‎.
26 The kings of the earth took their stand and the princes gathered together against the Lord and against his anointed.'	26 ‎قامت ملوك الارض واجتمع الرؤساء معا على الرب وعلى مسيحه‎.
27 Indeed they gathered in this city against your holy servant Jesus whom you anointed, Herod and Pontius Pilate, together with the Gentiles and the peoples of Israel,	27 ‎لانه بالحقيقة اجتمع على فتاك القدوس الذي مسحته هيرودس وبيلاطس البنطي مع امم وشعوب اسرائيل
28 to do what your hand and (your) will had long ago planned to take place.	28 ليفعلوا كل ما سبقت فعيّنت يدك ومشورتك ان يكون‏‎.
29 And now, Lord, take note of their threats, and enable your servants to speak your word with all boldness,	29 ‎والآن يا رب انظر الى تهديداتهم وامنح عبيدك ان يتكلموا بكلامك بكل مجاهرة
30 as you stretch forth (your) hand to heal, and signs and wonders are done through the name of your holy servant Jesus."	30 بمد يدك للشفاء ولتجر آيات وعجائب باسم فتاك القدوس يسوع‎.
31 As they prayed, the place where they were gathered shook, and they were all filled with the holy Spirit and continued to speak the word of God with boldness.	31 ‎ولما صلّوا تزعزع المكان الذي كانوا مجتمعين فيه. وامتلأ الجميع من الروح القدس وكانوا يتكلمون بكلام الله بمجاهرة
32 The community of believers was of one heart and mind, and no one claimed that any of his possessions was his own, but they had everything in common.	32 وكان لجمهور الذين آمنوا قلب واحد ونفس واحدة. ولم يكن احد يقول ان شيئا من امواله له بل كان عندهم كل شيء مشتركا‎.
33 With great power the apostles bore witness to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and great favor was accorded them all.	33 ‎وبقوة عظيمة كان الرسل يؤدون الشهادة بقيامة الرب يسوع ونعمة عظيمة كانت على جميعهم‎.
34 There was no needy person among them, for those who owned property or houses would sell them, bring the proceeds of the sale,	34 ‎اذ لم يكن فيهم احد محتاجا لان كل الذين كانوا اصحاب حقول او بيوت كانوا يبيعونها ويأتون باثمان المبيعات
35 and put them at the feet of the apostles, and they were distributed to each according to need.	35 ويضعونها عند ارجل الرسل فكان يوزع على كل واحد كما يكون له احتياج‎.
36 Thus Joseph, also named by the apostles Barnabas (which is translated "son of encouragement"), a Levite, a Cypriot by birth,	36 ‎ويوسف الذي دعي من الرسل برنابا الذي يترجم ابن الوعظ وهو لاوي قبرسي الجنس
37 sold a piece of property that he owned, then brought the money and put it at the feet of the apostles.	37 اذ كان له حقل باعه وأتى بالدراهم ووضعها عند ارجل الرسل
