Acts of the Apostles 21

DOUAI-RHEIMS	SMITH VAN DYKE
1 And when it came to pass that, being parted from them, we set sail, we came with a straight course to Coos, and the day following to Rhodes, and from thence to Patara.	1 ولما انفصلنا عنهم اقلعنا وجئنا متوجهين بالاستقامة الى كوس وفي اليوم التالي الى رودس. ومن هناك الى باترا‎.
2 And when we had found a ship sailing over to Phenice, we went aboard, and set forth.	2 ‎فاذ وجدنا سفينة عابرة الى فينيقية صعدنا اليها واقلعنا‎.
3 And when we had discovered Cyprus, leaving it on the left hand, we sailed into Syria, and came to Tyre: for there the ship was to unlade her burden.	3 ‎ثم اطلعنا على قبرس وتركناها يسرة وسافرنا الى سورية واقبلنا الى صور لان هناك كانت السفينة تضع وسقها‎.
4 And finding disciples, we tarried there seven days: who said to Paul through the Spirit, that he should not go up to Jerusalem.	4 ‎واذ وجدنا التلاميذ مكثنا هناك سبعة ايام. وكانوا يقولون لبولس بالروح ان لا يصعد الى اورشليم‎.
5 And the days being expired, departing we went forward, they all bringing us on our way, with their wives and children, till we were out of the city: and we kneeled down on the shore, and we prayed.	5 ‎ولكن لما استكملنا الايام خرجنا ذاهبين وهم جميعا يشيعوننا مع النساء والاولاد الى خارج المدينة. فجثونا على ركبنا على الشاطئ وصلّينا‎.
6 And when we had bid one another farewell, we took ship; and they returned home.	6 ‎ولما ودعنا بعضنا بعضا صعدنا الى السفينة. واما هم فرجعوا الى خاصتهم
7 But we having finished the voyage by sea, from Tyre came down to Ptolemais: and saluting the brethren, we abode one day with them.	7 ولما اكملنا السفر في البحر من صور اقبلنا الى بتولمايس فسلمنا على الاخوة ومكثنا عندهم يوما واحدا‎.
8 And the next day departing, we came to Caesarea. And entering into the house of Philip the evangelist, who was one of the seven, we abode with him.	8 ‎ثم خرجنا في الغد نحن رفقاء بولس وجئنا الى قيصرية فدخلنا بيت فيلبس المبشر اذ كان واحدا من السبعة واقمنا عنده‎.
9 And he had four daughters, virgins, who did prophesy.	9 ‎وكان لهذا اربع بنات عذارى كنّ يتنبأن‎.
10 And as we tarried there for some days, there came from Judea a certain prophet, named Agabus.	10 ‎وبينما نحن مقيمون اياما كثيرة انحدر من اليهودية نبي اسمه اغابوس‎.
11 Who, when he was come to us, took Paul's girdle: and binding his own feet and hands, he said: Thus saith the Holy Ghost: The man whose girdle this is, the Jews shall bind in this manner in Jerusalem, and shall deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles.	11 ‎فجاء الينا واخذ منطقة بولس وربط يدي نفسه ورجليه وقال هذا يقوله الروح القدس. الرجل الذي له هذه المنطقة هكذا سيربطه اليهود في اورشليم ويسلمونه الى ايدي الامم‎.
12 Which when we had heard, both we and they that were of that place, desired him that he would not go up to Jerusalem.	12 ‎فلما سمعنا هذا طلبنا اليه نحن والذين من المكان ان لا يصعد الى اورشليم‎.
13 Then Paul answered, and said: What do you mean weeping and afflicting my heart? For I am ready not only to be bound, but to die also in Jerusalem, for the name of the Lord Jesus.	13 ‎فاجاب بولس ماذا تفعلون تبكون وتكسرون قلبي لاني مستعد ليس ان أربط فقط بل ان اموت ايضا في اورشليم لاجل اسم الرب يسوع‎.
14 And when we could not persuade him, we ceased, saying: The will of the Lord be done.	14 ‎ولما لم يقنع سكتنا قائلين لتكن مشيئة الرب‎.
15 And after those days, being prepared, we went up to Jerusalem.	15 ‎وبعد تلك الايام تأهبنا وصعدنا الى اورشليم‎.
16 And there went also with us some of the disciples from Caesarea, bringing with them one Mnason a Cyprian, an old disciple, with whom we should lodge.	16 ‎وجاء ايضا معنا من قيصرية اناس من التلاميذ ذاهبين بنا الى مناسون وهو رجل قبرسي تلميذ قديم لننزل عنده
17 And when we were come to Jerusalem, the brethren received us gladly.	17 ولما وصلنا الى اورشليم قبلنا الاخوة بفرح‎.
18 And the day following, Paul went in with us unto James; and all the ancients were assembled.	18 ‎وفي الغد دخل بولس معنا الى يعقوب وحضر جميع المشايخ‎.
19 Whom when he had saluted, he related particularly what things God had wrought among the Gentiles by his ministry.	19 ‎فبعدما سلم عليهم طفق يحدثهم شيئا فشيئا بكل ما فعله الله بين الامم بواسطة خدمته‎.
20 But they hearing it, glorified God, and said to him: Thou seest, brother, how many thousands there are among the Jews that have believed: and they are all zealous for the law.	20 ‎فلما سمعوا كانوا يمجدون الرب. وقالوا له انت ترى ايها الاخ كم يوجد ربوة من اليهود الذين آمنوا وهم جميعا غيورون للناموس‎.
21 Now they have heard of thee that thou teachest those Jews, who are among the Gentiles, to depart from Moses: saying, that they ought not to circumcise their children, nor walk according to the custom.	21 ‎وقد أخبروا عنك انك تعلّم جميع اليهود الذين بين الامم الارتداد عن موسى قائلا ان لا يختنوا اولادهم ولا يسلكوا حسب العوائد‎.
22 What is it therefore? the multitude must needs come together: for they will hear that thou art come.	22 ‎فاذا ماذا يكون. لا بد على كل حال ان يجتمع الجمهور لانهم سيسمعون انك قد جئت‎.
23 Do therefore this that we say to thee. We have four men, who have a vow on them.	23 ‎فافعل هذا الذي نقول لك. عندنا اربعة رجال عليهم نذر‎.
24 Take these, and sanctify thyself with them: and bestow on them, that they may shave their heads: and all will know that the things which they have heard of thee, are false; but that thou thyself also walkest keeping the law.	24 ‎خذ هؤلاء وتطهر معهم وانفق عليهم ليحلقوا رؤوسهم فيعلم الجميع ان ليس شيء مما أخبروا عنك بل تسلك انت ايضا حافظا للناموس‎.
25 But as touching the Gentiles that believe, we have written, decreeing that they should only refrain themselves from that which has been offered to idols, and from blood, and from things strangles, and from fornication.	25 ‎واما من جهة الذين آمنوا من الامم فارسلنا نحن اليهم وحكمنا ان لا يحفظوا شيئا مثل ذلك سوى ان يحافظوا على انفسهم مما ذبح للاصنام ومن الدم والمخنوق والزنى‎.
26 Then Paul took the men, and the next day being purified with them, entered into the temple, giving notice of the accomplishment of the days of purification, until an oblation should be offered for every one of them.	26 ‎حينئذ اخذ بولس الرجال في الغد وتطهر معهم ودخل الهيكل مخبرا بكمال ايام التطهير الى ان يقرب عن كل واحد منهم القربان
27 But when the seven days were drawing to an end, those Jews that were of Asia, when they saw him in the temple, stirred up all the people, and laid hands upon him, crying out:	27 ولما قاربت الايام السبعة ان تتم رآه اليهود الذين من اسيا في الهيكل فاهاجوا كل الجمع والقوا عليه الايادي
28 Men of Israel, help: This is the man that teacheth all men every where against the people, and the law, and this place; and moreover hath brought in Gentiles into the temple, and hath violated this holy place.	28 صارخين يا ايها الرجال الاسرائيليون اعينوا. هذا هو الرجل الذي يعلّم الجميع في كل مكان ضدا للشعب والناموس وهذا الموضع حتى ادخل يونانيين ايضا الى الهيكل ودنس هذا الموضع المقدس‎.
29 (For they had seen Trophimus the Ephesian in the city with him, whom they supposed that Paul had brought into the temple.)	29 ‎لانهم كانوا قد رأوا معه في المدينة تروفيمس الافسسي فكانوا يظنون ان بولس ادخله الى الهيكل‎.
30 And the whole city was in an uproar: and the people ran together. And taking Paul, they drew him out of the temple, and immediately the doors were shut.	30 ‎فهاجت المدينة كلها وتراكض الشعب وامسكوا بولس وجروه خارج الهيكل وللوقت اغلقت الابواب‎.
31 And as they went about to kill him, it was told the tribune of the band, That all Jerusalem was in confusion.	31 ‎وبينما هم يطلبون ان يقتلوه نما خبر الى امير الكتيبة ان اورشليم كلها اضطربت‎.
32 Who, forthwith taking with him soldiers and centurions, ran down to them. And when they saw the tribune and the soldiers they left off beating Paul.	32 ‎فللوقت اخذ عسكرا وقواد مئات وركض اليهم. فلما رأوا الامير والعسكر كفوا عن ضرب بولس
33 Then the tribune coming near, took him, and commanded him to be bound with two chains: and demanded who he was, and what he had done.	33 حينئذ اقترب الامير وامسكه وامر ان يقيد بسلسلتين وطفق يستخبر ترى من يكون وماذا فعل‎.
34 And some cried one thing, some another, among the multitude. And when he could not know the certainty for the tumult, he commanded him to be carried into the castle.	34 ‎وكان البعض يصرخون بشيء والبعض بشيء آخر في الجمع. ولما لم يقدر ان يعلم اليقين لسبب الشغب امر ان يذهب به الى المعسكر‎.
35 And when he was come to the stairs, it fell out that he was carried by the soldiers, because of the violence of the people.	35 ‎ولما صار على الدرج اتفق ان العسكر حمله بسبب عنف الجمع‎.
36 For the multitude of the people followed after, crying: Away with him.	36 ‎لان جمهور الشعب كانوا يتبعونه صارخين خذه
37 And as Paul was about to be brought into the castle, he saith to the tribune: May speak something to thee? Who said: Canst thou speak Greek?	37 واذ قارب بولس ان يدخل المعسكر قال للامير ايجوز لي ان اقول لك شيئا. فقال أتعرف اليونانية‏‎.
38 Art not thou that Egyptian who before these days didst raise a tumult, and didst lead forth into the desert four thousand men that were murderers?	38 ‎أفلست انت المصري الذي صنع قبل هذه الايام فتنة واخرج الى البرية اربعة الآلاف الرجل من القتلة‎.
39 But Paul said to him: I am a Jew of Tarsus in Cilicia, a citizen of no mean city. And I beseech thee, suffer me to speak to the people.	39 ‎فقال بولس انا رجل يهودي طرسوسي من اهل مدينة غير دنية من كيليكية. والتمس منك ان تأذن لي ان اكلم الشعب‎.
40 And when he had given him leave, Paul standing on the stairs, beckoned with his hand to the people. And a great silence being made, he spoke unto them in the Hebrew tongue, saying:	40 ‎فلما اذن له وقف بولس على الدرج واشار بيده الى الشعب. فصار سكوت عظيم. فنادى باللغة العبرانية قائلا
