Atti degli Apostoli (اعمال) 22

SMITH VAN DYKE	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 ايها الرجال الاخوة والآباء اسمعوا احتجاجي الآن لديكم‎.	1 “Noble brothers and fathers, listen to the explanation that I now give to you.”
2 ‎فلما سمعوا انه ينادي لهم باللغة العبرانية اعطوا سكوتا احرى‎. ‎فقال	2 And when they heard him speaking to them in the Hebrew language, they offered a greater silence.
3 انا رجل يهودي ولدت في طرسوس كيليكية ولكن ربيت في هذه المدينة مؤدبا عند رجلي غمالائيل على تحقيق الناموس الابوي وكنت غيورا للّه كما انتم جميعكم اليوم‎.	3 And he said: “I am a Jewish man, born at Tarsus in Cilicia, but raised in this city beside the feet of Gamaliel, taught according to the truth of the law of the fathers, zealous for the law, just as all of you also are to this day.
4 ‎واضطهدت هذا الطريق حتى الموت مقيدا ومسلما الى السجون رجالا ونساء‎.	4 I persecuted this Way, even unto death, binding and delivering into custody both men and women,
5 ‎كما يشهد لي ايضا رئيس الكهنة وجميع المشيخة الذين اذ اخذت ايضا منهم رسائل للاخوة الى دمشق ذهبت لآتي بالذين هناك الى اورشليم مقيدين لكي يعاقبوا‎.	5 just as the high priest and all those greater by birth bear witness to me. Having received letters from them to the brothers, I journeyed to Damascus, so that I might lead them bound from there to Jerusalem, so that they might be punished.
6 ‎فحدث لي وانا ذاهب ومتقرّب الى دمشق انه نحو نصف النهار بغتة ابرق حولي من السماء نور عظيم‎.	6 But it happened that, as I was traveling and was approaching Damascus at midday, suddenly from heaven a great light shone around me.
7 ‎فسقطت على الارض وسمعت صوتا قائلا لي شاول شاول لماذا تضطهدني‎.	7 And falling to the ground, I heard a voice saying to me, ‘Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me?’
8 ‎فاجبت من انت يا سيد. فقال لي انا يسوع الناصري الذي انت تضطهده.	8 And I responded, ‘Who are you, Lord?’ And he said to me, ‘I am Jesus the Nazarene, whom you are persecuting.’
9 والذين كانوا معي نظروا النور وارتعبوا ولكنهم لم يسمعوا صوت الذي كلمني‎.	9 And those who were with me, indeed, saw the light, but they did not hear the voice of him who was speaking with me.
10 ‎فقلت ماذا افعل يا رب. فقال لي الرب قم واذهب الى دمشق وهناك يقال لك عن جميع ما ترتب لك ان تفعل‎.	10 And I said, ‘What should I do, Lord?’ Then the Lord said to me: ‘Rise up, and go to Damascus. And there, you shall be told all that you must do.’
11 ‎واذ كنت لا ابصر من اجل بهاء ذلك النور اقتادني بيدي الذين كانوا معي فجئت الى دمشق	11 And since I could not see, because of the brightness of that light, I was led by the hand by my companions, and I went to Damascus.
12 ثم ان حنانيا رجلا تقيا حسب الناموس ومشهودا له من جميع اليهود السكان	12 Then a certain Ananias, a man in accord with the law, having the testimony of all the Jews who were living there,
13 أتى اليّ ووقف وقال لي ايها الاخ شاول ابصر. ففي تلك الساعة نظرت اليه	13 drawing near to me and standing close by, said to me, ‘Brother Saul, see!’ And in that same hour, I looked upon him.
14 فقال. اله آبائنا انتخبك لتعلم مشيئته وتبصر البار وتسمع صوتا من فمه‎.	14 But he said: ‘The God of our fathers has preordained you, so that you would come to know his will and would see the Just One, and would hear the voice from his mouth.
15 ‎لانك ستكون له شاهدا لجميع الناس بما رايت وسمعت‎.	15 For you shall be his witness to all men about those things which you have seen and heard.
16 ‎والآن لماذا تتوانى. قم واعتمد واغسل خطاياك داعيا باسم الرب	16 And now, why do you delay? Rise up, and be baptized, and wash away your sins, by invoking his name.’
17 وحدث لي بعدما رجعت الى اورشليم وكنت اصلّي في الهيكل اني حصلت في غيبة	17 Then it happened that, when I returned to Jerusalem and was praying in the temple, a mental stupor came over me,
18 فرأيته قائلا لي اسرع واخرج عاجلا من اورشليم لانهم لا يقبلون شهادتك عني‎.	18 and I saw him saying to me: ‘Hurry! Depart quickly from Jerusalem! For they will not accept your testimony about me.’
19 ‎فقلت يا رب هم يعلمون اني كنت احبس واضرب في كل مجمع الذين يؤمنون بك‎.	19 And I said: ‘Lord, they know that I am beating and enclosing in prison, throughout every synagogue, those who have believed in you.
20 ‎وحين سفك دم استفانوس شهيدك كنت انا واقفا وراضيا بقتله وحافظا ثياب الذين قتلوه‎.	20 And when the blood of your witness Stephen was poured out, I stood nearby and was consenting, and I watched over the garments of those who put him to death.’
21 ‎فقال لي اذهب فاني سارسلك الى الامم بعيدا	21 And he said to me, ‘Go forth. For I am sending you to far away nations.’ ”
22 فسمعوا له حتى هذه الكلمة ثم رفعوا اصواتهم قائلين خذ مثل هذا من الارض لانه كان لا يجوز ان يعيش‎.	22 Now they were listening to him, until this word, and then they lifted up their voice, saying: “Take this kind away from the earth! For it is not fitting for him to live!”
23 ‎واذ كانوا يصيحون ويطرحون ثيابهم ويرمون غبارا الى الجو	23 And while they were shouting, and tossing aside their garments, and casting dust into the air,
24 أمر الامير ان يذهب به الى المعسكر قائلا ان يفحص بضربات ليعلم لاي سبب كانوا يصرخون عليه هكذا	24 the tribune ordered him to be brought into the fortress, and to be scourged and tortured, in order to discover the reason that they were crying out in this way against him.
25 فلما مدوه للسياط قال بولس لقائد المئة الواقف أيجوز لكم ان تجلدوا انسانا رومانيا غير مقضي عليه‎.	25 And when they had tied him with straps, Paul said to the centurion who was standing near him, “Is it lawful for you to scourge a man who is a Roman and has not been condemned?”
26 ‎فاذ سمع قائد المئة ذهب الى الامير واخبره قائلا انظر ماذا انت مزمع ان تفعل. لان هذا الرجل روماني‎.	26 Upon hearing this, the centurion went to the tribune and reported it to him, saying: “What do you intend to do? For this man is a Roman citizen.”
27 ‎فجاء الامير وقال له قل لي. انت روماني. فقال نعم‎.	27 And the tribune, approaching, said to him: “Tell me. Are you a Roman?” So he said, “Yes.”
28 ‎فاجاب الامير اما انا فبمبلغ كبير اقتنيت هذه الرعوية. فقال بولس اما انا فقد ولدت فيها‎.	28 And the tribune responded, “I obtained this citizenship at great cost.” And Paul said, “But I was born to it.”
29 ‎وللوقت تنحى عنه الذين كانوا مزمعين ان يفحصوه واختشى الامير لما علم انه روماني ولانه قد قيده	29 Therefore, those who were going to torture him, immediately withdrew from him. The tribune was similarly afraid, after he realized that he was a Roman citizen, for he had bound him.
30 وفي الغد اذ كان يريد ان يعلم اليقين لماذا يشتكي اليهود عليه حله من الرباط وامر ان يحضر رؤساء الكهنة وكل مجمعهم فاحدر بولس واقامه لديهم	30 But on the next day, wanting to discover more diligently what the reason was that he was accused by the Jews, he released him, and he ordered the priests to convene, with the entire council. And, producing Paul, he stationed him among them.
