Atti degli Apostoli (اعمال) 8

SMITH VAN DYKE	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 وكان شاول راضيا بقتله. وحدث في ذلك اليوم اضطهاد عظيم على الكنيسة التي في اورشليم فتشتت الجميع في كور اليهودية والسامرة ما عدا الرسل‎.	1 And at that time there was raised a great persecution against the church which was at Jerusalem; and they were all dispersed through the countries of Judea, and Samaria, except the apostles.
2 ‎وحمل رجال اتقياء استفانوس وعملوا عليه مناحة عظيمة‎.	2 And devout men took order for Stephen's funeral, and made great mourning over him.
3 ‎واما شاول فكان يسطو على الكنيسة وهو يدخل البيوت ويجر رجالا ونساء ويسلمهم الى السجن	3 But Saul made havock of the church, entering in from house to house, and dragging away men and women, committed them to prison.
4 فالذين تشتتوا جالوا مبشرين بالكلمة‎.	4 They therefore that were dispersed, went about preaching the word of God.
5 ‎فانحدر فيلبس الى مدينة من السامرة وكان يكرز لهم بالمسيح‎.	5 And Philip going down to the city of Samaria, preached Christ unto them.
6 ‎وكان الجموع يصغون بنفس واحدة الى ما يقوله فيلبس عند استماعهم ونظرهم الآيات التي صنعها‎.	6 And the people with one accord were attentive to those things which were said by Philip, hearing, and seeing the miracles which he did.
7 ‎لان كثيرين من الذين بهم ارواح نجسة كانت تخرج صارخة بصوت عظيم‎. ‎وكثيرون من المفلوجين والعرج شفوا‎.	7 For many of them who had unclean spirits, crying with a loud voice, went out.
8 ‎فكان فرح عظيم في تلك المدينة	8 And many, taken with the palsy, and that were lame, were healed.
9 وكان قبلا في المدينة رجل اسمه سيمون يستعمل السحر ويدهش شعب السامرة قائلا انه شيء عظيم‎.	9 There was therefore great joy in that city. Now there was a certain man named Simon, who before had been a magician in that city, seducing the people of Samaria, giving out that he was some great one:
10 ‎وكان الجميع يتبعونه من الصغير الى الكبير قائلين هذا هو قوة الله العظيمة‎.	10 To whom they all gave ear, from the least to the greatest, saying: This man is the power of God, which is called great.
11 ‎وكانوا يتبعونه لكونهم قد اندهشوا زمانا طويلا بسحره‎.	11 And they were attentive to him, because, for a long time, he had bewitched them with his magical practices.
12 ‎ولكن لما صدقوا فيلبس وهو يبشر بالامور المختصة بملكوت الله وباسم يسوع المسيح اعتمدوا رجالا ونساء‎.	12 But when they had believed Philip preaching of the kingdom of God, in the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women.
13 ‎وسيمون ايضا نفسه آمن. ولما اعتمد كان يلازم فيلبس. واذ رأى آيات وقوات عظيمة تجرى اندهش	13 Then Simon himself believed also; and being baptized, he adhered to Philip. And being astonished, wondered to see the signs and exceeding great miracles which were done.
14 ولما سمع الرسل الذين في اورشليم ان السامرة قد قبلت كلمة الله ارسلوا اليهم بطرس ويوحنا‎.	14 Now when the apostles, who were in Jerusalem, had heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent unto them Peter and John.
15 ‎اللذين لما نزلا صلّيا لاجلهم لكي يقبلوا الروح القدس‎.	15 Who, when they were come, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Ghost.
16 ‎لانه لم يكن قد حل بعد على احد منهم. غير انهم كانوا معتمدين باسم الرب يسوع‎.	16 For he was not as yet come upon any of them; but they were only baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.
17 ‎حينئذ وضعا الايادي عليهم فقبلوا الروح القدس‎.	17 Then they laid their hands upon them, and they received the Holy Ghost.
18 ‎ولما رأى سيمون انه بوضع ايدي الرسل يعطى الروح القدس قدم لهما دراهم	18 And when Simon saw, that by the imposition of the hands of the apostles, the Holy Ghost was given, he offered them money,
19 قائلا اعطياني انا ايضا هذا السلطان حتى اي من وضعت عليه يديّ يقبل الروح القدس‎.	19 Saying: Give me also this power, that on whomsoever I shall lay my hands, he may receive the Holy Ghost. But Peter said to him:
20 ‎فقال له بطرس لتكن فضتك معك للهلاك لانك ظننت ان تقتني موهبة الله بدراهم‎.	20 Keep thy money to thyself, to perish with thee, because thou hast thought that the gift of God may be purchased with money.
21 ‎ليس لك نصيب ولا قرعة في هذا الامر. لان قلبك ليس مستقيما امام الله‎.	21 Thou hast no part nor lot in this matter. For thy heart is not right in the sight of God.
22 ‎فتب من شرك هذا واطلب الى الله عسى ان يغفر لك فكر قلبك‎.	22 Do penance therefore for this thy wickedness; and pray to God, that perhaps this thought of thy heart may be forgiven thee.
23 ‎لاني اراك في مرارة المرّ ورباط الظلم‎.	23 For I see thou art in the gall of bitterness, and in the bonds of iniquity.
24 ‎فاجاب سيمون وقال اطلبا انتما الى الرب من اجلي لكي لا يأتي علي شيء مما ذكرتما‎.	24 Then Simon answering, said: Pray you for me to the Lord, that none of these things which you have spoken may come upon me.
25 ‎ثم انهما بعدما شهدا وتكلما بكلمة الرب رجعا الى اورشليم وبشرا‏ قرى كثيرة للسامريين	25 And they indeed having testified and preached the word of the Lord, returned to Jerusalem, and preached the gospel to many countries of the Samaritans.
26 ثم ان ملاك الرب كلم فيلبس قائلا قم واذهب نحو الجنوب على الطريق المنحدرة من اورشليم الى غزة التي هي برية‎.	26 Now an angel of the Lord spoke to Philip, saying: Arise, go towards the south, to the way that goeth down from Jerusalem into Gaza: this is desert.
27 ‎فقام وذهب. واذا رجل حبشي خصي وزير لكنداكة ملكة الحبشة كان على جميع خزائنها. فهذا كان قد جاء الى اورشليم ليسجد‎.	27 And rising up, he went. And behold a man of Ethiopia, an eunuch, of great authority under Candace the queen of the Ethiopians, who had charge over all her treasures, had come to Jerusalem to adore.
28 ‎وكان راجعا وجالسا على مركبته وهو يقرأ النبي اشعياء‎.	28 And he was returning, sitting in this chariot, and reading Isaias the prophet.
29 ‎فقال الروح لفيلبس تقدم ورافق هذه المركبة‎.	29 And the Spirit said to Philip: Go near, and join thyself to this chariot.
30 ‎فبادر اليه فيلبس وسمعه يقرأ النبي اشعياء فقال ألعلك تفهم ما انت تقرأ‎.	30 And Philip running thither, heard him reading the prophet Isaias. And he said: Thinkest thou that thou understandest what thou readest?
31 ‎فقال كيف يمكنني ان لم يرشدني احد. وطلب الى فيلبس ان يصعد ويجلس معه‎.	31 Who said: And how can I, unless some man shew me? And he desired Philip that he would come up and sit with him.
32 ‎واما فصل الكتاب الذي كان يقرأه فكان هذا. مثل شاة سيق الى الذبح ومثل خروف صامت امام الذي يجزه هكذا لم يفتح فاه‎.	32 And the place of the scripture which he was reading was this: He was led as a sheep to the slaughter; and like a lamb without voice before his shearer, so openeth he not his mouth.
33 ‎في تواضعه انتزع قضاؤه وجيله من يخبر به لان حياته تنتزع من الارض‎.	33 In humility his judgment was taken away. His generation who shall declare, for his life shall be taken from the earth?
34 ‎فاجاب الخصي فيلبس وقال اطلب اليك. عن من يقول النبي هذا. عن نفسه ام عن واحد آخر‎.	34 And the eunuch answering Philip, said: I beseech thee, of whom doth the prophet speak this? of himself, or of some other man?
35 ‎ففتح فيلبس فاه وابتدأ من هذا الكتاب فبشره بيسوع	35 Then Philip, opening his mouth, and beginning at this scripture, preached unto him Jesus.
36 وفيما هما سائران في الطريق اقبلا على ماء. فقال الخصي هوذا ماء. ماذا يمنع ان اعتمد‎.	36 And as they went on their way, they came to a certain water; and the eunuch said: See, here is water: what doth hinder me from being baptized?
37 ‎فقال فيلبس ان كنت تؤمن من كل قلبك يجوز. فاجاب وقال انا اؤمن‏ ان يسوع المسيح هو ابن الله‎.	37 And Philip said: If thou believest with all thy heart, thou mayest. And he answering, said: I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.
38 ‎فامر ان تقف المركبة فنزلا كلاهما الى الماء فيلبس والخصي فعمده.	38 And he commanded the chariot to stand still; and they went down into the water, both Philip and the eunuch: and he baptized him.
39 ولما صعدا من الماء خطف روح الرب فيلبس فلم يبصره الخصي ايضا‎. ‎وذهب في طريقه فرحا‎.	39 And when they were come up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord took away Philip; and the eunuch saw him no more. And he went on his way rejoicing.
40 ‎واما فيلبس فوجد في اشدود. وبينما هو مجتاز كان يبشر جميع المدن حتى جاء الى قيصرية	40 But Philip was found in Azotus; and passing through, he preached the gospel to all the cities, till he came to Caesarea.
