Acts of the Apostles 28

DOUAI-RHEIMS	SMITH VAN DYKE
1 And when we had escaped, then we knew that the island was called Melita. But the barbarians shewed us no small courtesy.	1 ولما نجوا وجدوا ان الجزيرة تدعى مليطة‎.
2 For kindling a fire, they refreshed us all, because of the present rain, and of the cold.	2 ‎فقدم اهلها البرابرة لنا احسانا غير المعتاد لانهم اوقدوا نارا وقبلوا جميعنا من اجل المطر الذي اصابنا ومن اجل البرد
3 And when Paul had gathered together a bundle of sticks, and had laid them on the fire, a viper coming out of the heat, fastened on his hand.	3 فجمع بولس كثيرا من القضبان ووضعها على النار فخرجت من الحرارة افعى ونشبت في يده‎.
4 And when the barbarians saw the beast hanging on his hand, they said one to another: Undoubtedly this man is a murderer, who though he hath escaped the sea, yet vengeance doth not suffer him to live.	4 ‎فلما رأى البرابرة الوحش معلقا بيده قال بعضهم لبعض لا بد ان هذا الانسان قاتل لم يدعه العدل يحيا ولو نجا من البحر‎.
5 And he indeed shaking off the beast into the fire, suffered no harm.	5 ‎فنفض هو الوحش الى النار ولم يتضرر بشيء رديء‎.
6 But they supposed that he would begin to swell up, and that he would suddenly fall down and die. But expecting long, and seeing that there came no harm to him, changing their minds, they said, that he was a god.	6 ‎واما هم فكانوا ينتظرون انه عتيد ان ينتفخ او يسقط بغتة ميتا‎. ‎فاذ انتظروا كثيرا ورأوا انه لم يعرض له شيء مضرّ تغيّروا وقالوا هو اله
7 Now in these places were possessions of the chief man of the island, named Publius, who receiving us, for three days entertained us courteously.	7 وكان في ما حول ذلك الموضع ضياع لمقدم الجزيرة الذي اسمه بوبليوس. فهذا قبلنا واضافنا بملاطفة ثلاثة ايام‎.
8 And it happened that the father of Publius lay sick of a fever, and of a bloody flux. To whom Paul entered in; and when he had prayed, and laid his hands on him, he healed him.	8 ‎فحدث ان ابا بوبليوس كان مضطجعا معترى بحمى وسحج. فدخل اليه بولس وصلّى ووضع يديه عليه فشفاه‎.
9 Which being done, all that had diseases in the island, came and were healed:	9 ‎فلما صار هذا كان الباقون الذين بهم امراض في الجزيرة يأتون ويشفون‎.
10 Who also honoured us with many honours, and when we were to set sail, they laded us with such things as were necessary.	10 ‎فاكرمنا هؤلاء اكرامات كثيرة ولما اقلعنا زودونا ما يحتاج اليه
11 And after three months, we sailed in a ship of Alexandria, that had wintered in the island, whose sign was the Castors.	11 وبعد ثلاثة اشهر اقلعنا في سفينة اسكندرية موسومة بعلامة الجوزاء كانت قد شتت في الجزيرة‎.
12 And when we were come to Syracusa, we tarried there three days.	12 ‎فنزلنا الى سراكوسا ومكثنا ثلاثة ايام‎.
13 From thence, compassing by the shore, we came to Rhegium: and after one day, the south wind blowing, we came the second day to Puteoli;	13 ‎ثم من هناك درنا واقبلنا الى ريغيون. وبعد يوم واحد حدثت ريح جنوب فجئنا في اليوم الثاني الى بوطيولي
14 Where, finding brethren, we were desired to tarry with them seven days: and so we went to Rome.	14 حيث وجدنا اخوة فطلبوا الينا ان نمكث عندهم سبعة ايام. وهكذا أتينا الى رومية‎.
15 And from thence, when the brethren had heard of us, they came to meet us as far as Appii Forum, and the Three Taverns: whom when Paul saw, he gave thanks to God, and took courage.	15 ‎ومن هناك لما سمع الاخوة بخبرنا خرجوا لاستقبالنا الى فورن ابيوس والثلاثة الحوانيت. فلما رآهم بولس شكر الله وتشجع
16 And when we were come to Rome, Paul was suffered to dwell by himself, with a soldier that kept him.	16 ولما أتينا الى رومية سلم قائد المئة الاسرى الى رئيس المعسكر. واما بولس فأذن له ان يقيم وحده مع العسكري الذي كان يحرسه
17 And after the third day, he called together the chief of the Jews. And when they were assembled, he said to them: Men, brethren, I, having done nothing against the people, or the custom of our fathers, was delivered prisoner from Jerusalem into the hands of the Romans;	17 وبعد ثلاثة ايام استدعى بولس الذين كانوا وجوه اليهود. فلما اجتمعوا قال لهم ايها الرجال الاخوة مع اني لم افعل شيئا ضد الشعب او عوائد الآباء أسلمت مقيدا من اورشليم الى ايدي الرومانيين
18 Who, when they had examined me, would have released me, for that there was no cause of death in me;	18 الذين لما فحصوا كانوا يريدون ان يطلقوني لانه لم تكن فيّ علّة واحدة للموت‎.
19 But the Jews contradicting it, I was constrained to appeal unto Caesar; not that I had any thing to accuse my nation of.	19 ‎ولكن لما قاوم اليهود اضطررت ان ارفع دعواي الى قيصر. ليس كأن لي شيئا لاشتكي به على امتي‎.
20 For this cause therefore I desired to see you, and to speak to you. Because that for the hope of Israel, I am bound with this chain.	20 ‎فلهذا السبب طلبتكم لاراكم واكلمكم لاني من اجل رجاء اسرائيل موثق بهذه السلسلة‎.
21 But they said to him: We neither received letters concerning thee from Judea, neither did any of the brethren that came hither, relate or speak any evil of thee.	21 ‎فقالوا له نحن لم نقبل كتابات فيك من اليهودية ولا احد من الاخوة جاء فاخبرنا او تكلم عنك بشيء رديء‎.
22 But we desire to hear of thee what thou thinkest; for as concerning this sect, we know that it is every where contradicted.	22 ‎ولكننا نستحسن ان نسمع منك ماذا ترى لانه معلوم عندنا من جهة هذا المذهب انه يقاوم في كل مكان
23 And when they had appointed him a day, there came very many to him unto his lodgings; to whom he expounded, testifying the kingdom of God, and persuading them concerning Jesus, out of the law of Moses and the prophets, from morning until evening.	23 فعيّنوا له يوما فجاء اليه كثيرون الى المنزل فطفق يشرح لهم شاهدا بملكوت الله ومقنعا اياهم من ناموس موسى والانبياء بامر يسوع من الصباح الى المساء‎.
24 And some believed the things that were said; but some believed not.	24 ‎فاقتنع بعضهم بما قيل وبعضهم لم يؤمنوا
25 And when they agreed not among themselves, they departed, Paul speaking this one word: Well did the Holy Ghost speak to our fathers by Isaias the prophet,	25 فانصرفوا وهم غير متفقين بعضهم مع بعض لما قال بولس كلمة واحدة انه حسنا كلم الروح القدس آباءنا باشعياء النبي
26 Saying: Go to this people, and say to them: With the ear you shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing you shall see, and shall not perceive.	26 قائلا اذهب الى هذا الشعب وقل ستسمعون سمعا ولا تفهمون وستنظرون نظرا ولا تبصرون‎.
27 For the heart of this people is grown gross, and with their ears have they heard heavily, and their eyes they have shut; lest perhaps they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them.	27 ‎لان قلب هذا الشعب قد غلظ وبآذانهم سمعوا ثقيلا واعينهم اغمضوها. لئلا يبصروا باعينهم ويسمعوا بآذانهم ويفهموا بقلوبهم ويرجعوا فاشفيهم‎.
28 Be it known therefore to you, that this salvation of God is sent to the Gentiles, and they will hear it.	28 ‎فليكن معلوما عندكم ان خلاص الله قد أرسل الى الامم وهم سيسمعون.
29 And when he had said these things, the Jews went out from him, having much reasoning among themselves.	29 ولما قال هذا مضى اليهود ولهم مباحثة كثيرة فيما بينهم
30 And he remained two whole years in his own hired lodging; and he received all that came in to him,	30 واقام بولس سنتين كاملتين في بيت استأجره لنفسه. وكان يقبل جميع الذين يدخلون اليه
31 Preaching the kingdom of God, and teaching the things which concern the Lord Jesus Christ, with all confidence, without prohibition.	31 كارزا بملكوت الله ومعلّما بامر الرب يسوع المسيح بكل مجاهرة بلا مانع
