Atti degli Apostoli (اعمال) 21

SMITH VAN DYKE	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 ولما انفصلنا عنهم اقلعنا وجئنا متوجهين بالاستقامة الى كوس وفي اليوم التالي الى رودس. ومن هناك الى باترا‎.	1 When we had taken leave of them we set sail, made a straight run for Cos, and on the next day for Rhodes, and from there to Patara.
2 ‎فاذ وجدنا سفينة عابرة الى فينيقية صعدنا اليها واقلعنا‎.	2 Finding a ship crossing to Phoenicia, we went on board and put out to sea.
3 ‎ثم اطلعنا على قبرس وتركناها يسرة وسافرنا الى سورية واقبلنا الى صور لان هناك كانت السفينة تضع وسقها‎.	3 We caught sight of Cyprus but passed by it on our left and sailed on toward Syria and put in at Tyre where the ship was to unload cargo.
4 ‎واذ وجدنا التلاميذ مكثنا هناك سبعة ايام. وكانوا يقولون لبولس بالروح ان لا يصعد الى اورشليم‎.	4 There we sought out the disciples and stayed for a week. They kept telling Paul through the Spirit not to embark for Jerusalem.
5 ‎ولكن لما استكملنا الايام خرجنا ذاهبين وهم جميعا يشيعوننا مع النساء والاولاد الى خارج المدينة. فجثونا على ركبنا على الشاطئ وصلّينا‎.	5 At the end of our stay we left and resumed our journey. All of them, women and children included, escorted us out of the city, and after kneeling on the beach to pray,
6 ‎ولما ودعنا بعضنا بعضا صعدنا الى السفينة. واما هم فرجعوا الى خاصتهم	6 we bade farewell to one another. Then we boarded the ship, and they returned home.
7 ولما اكملنا السفر في البحر من صور اقبلنا الى بتولمايس فسلمنا على الاخوة ومكثنا عندهم يوما واحدا‎.	7 We continued the voyage and came from Tyre to Ptolemais, where we greeted the brothers and stayed a day with them.
8 ‎ثم خرجنا في الغد نحن رفقاء بولس وجئنا الى قيصرية فدخلنا بيت فيلبس المبشر اذ كان واحدا من السبعة واقمنا عنده‎.	8 On the next day we resumed the trip and came to Caesarea, where we went to the house of Philip the evangelist, who was one of the Seven, and stayed with him.
9 ‎وكان لهذا اربع بنات عذارى كنّ يتنبأن‎.	9 He had four virgin daughters gifted with prophecy.
10 ‎وبينما نحن مقيمون اياما كثيرة انحدر من اليهودية نبي اسمه اغابوس‎.	10 We had been there several days when a prophet named Agabus came down from Judea.
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.	11 He came up to us, took Paul's belt, bound his own feet and hands with it, and said, "Thus says the holy Spirit: This is the way the Jews will bind the owner of this belt in Jerusalem, and they will hand him over to the Gentiles."
12 ‎فلما سمعنا هذا طلبنا اليه نحن والذين من المكان ان لا يصعد الى اورشليم‎.	12 When we heard this, we and the local residents begged him not to go up to Jerusalem.
13 ‎فاجاب بولس ماذا تفعلون تبكون وتكسرون قلبي لاني مستعد ليس ان أربط فقط بل ان اموت ايضا في اورشليم لاجل اسم الرب يسوع‎.	13 Then Paul replied, "What are you doing, weeping and breaking my heart? I am prepared not only to be bound but even to die in Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus."
14 ‎ولما لم يقنع سكتنا قائلين لتكن مشيئة الرب‎.	14 Since he would not be dissuaded we let the matter rest, saying, "The Lord's will be done."
15 ‎وبعد تلك الايام تأهبنا وصعدنا الى اورشليم‎.	15 After these days we made preparations for our journey, then went up to Jerusalem.
16 ‎وجاء ايضا معنا من قيصرية اناس من التلاميذ ذاهبين بنا الى مناسون وهو رجل قبرسي تلميذ قديم لننزل عنده	16 Some of the disciples from Caesarea came along to lead us to the house of Mnason, a Cypriot, a disciple of long standing, with whom we were to stay.
17 ولما وصلنا الى اورشليم قبلنا الاخوة بفرح‎.	17 When we reached Jerusalem the brothers welcomed us warmly.
18 ‎وفي الغد دخل بولس معنا الى يعقوب وحضر جميع المشايخ‎.	18 The next day, Paul accompanied us on a visit to James, and all the presbyters were present.
19 ‎فبعدما سلم عليهم طفق يحدثهم شيئا فشيئا بكل ما فعله الله بين الامم بواسطة خدمته‎.	19 He greeted them, then proceeded to tell them in detail what God had accomplished among the Gentiles through his ministry.
20 ‎فلما سمعوا كانوا يمجدون الرب. وقالوا له انت ترى ايها الاخ كم يوجد ربوة من اليهود الذين آمنوا وهم جميعا غيورون للناموس‎.	20 They praised God when they heard it but said to him, "Brother, you see how many thousands of believers there are from among the Jews, and they are all zealous observers of the law.
21 ‎وقد أخبروا عنك انك تعلّم جميع اليهود الذين بين الامم الارتداد عن موسى قائلا ان لا يختنوا اولادهم ولا يسلكوا حسب العوائد‎.	21 They have been informed that you are teaching all the Jews who live among the Gentiles to abandon Moses and that you are telling them not to circumcise their children or to observe their customary practices.
22 ‎فاذا ماذا يكون. لا بد على كل حال ان يجتمع الجمهور لانهم سيسمعون انك قد جئت‎.	22 What is to be done? They will surely hear that you have arrived.
23 ‎فافعل هذا الذي نقول لك. عندنا اربعة رجال عليهم نذر‎.	23 So do what we tell you. We have four men who have taken a vow.
24 ‎خذ هؤلاء وتطهر معهم وانفق عليهم ليحلقوا رؤوسهم فيعلم الجميع ان ليس شيء مما أخبروا عنك بل تسلك انت ايضا حافظا للناموس‎.	24 Take these men and purify yourself with them, and pay their expenses that they may have their heads shaved. In this way everyone will know that there is nothing to the reports they have been given about you but that you yourself live in observance of the law.
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.	25 As for the Gentiles who have come to believe, we sent them our decision that they abstain from meat sacrificed to idols, from blood, from the meat of strangled animals, and from unlawful marriage."
26 ‎حينئذ اخذ بولس الرجال في الغد وتطهر معهم ودخل الهيكل مخبرا بكمال ايام التطهير الى ان يقرب عن كل واحد منهم القربان	26 So Paul took the men, and on the next day after purifying himself together with them entered the temple to give notice of the day when the purification would be completed and the offering made for each of them.
27 ولما قاربت الايام السبعة ان تتم رآه اليهود الذين من اسيا في الهيكل فاهاجوا كل الجمع والقوا عليه الايادي	27 When the seven days were nearly completed, the Jews from the province of Asia noticed him in the temple, stirred up the whole crowd, and laid hands on him,
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.	28 shouting, "Fellow Israelites, help us. This is the man who is teaching everyone everywhere against the people and the law and this place, and what is more, he has even brought Greeks into the temple and defiled this sacred place."
29 ‎لانهم كانوا قد رأوا معه في المدينة تروفيمس الافسسي فكانوا يظنون ان بولس ادخله الى الهيكل‎.	29 For they had previously seen Trophimus the Ephesian in the city with him and supposed that Paul had brought him into the temple.
30 ‎فهاجت المدينة كلها وتراكض الشعب وامسكوا بولس وجروه خارج الهيكل وللوقت اغلقت الابواب‎.	30 The whole city was in turmoil with people rushing together. They seized Paul and dragged him out of the temple, and immediately the gates were closed.
31 ‎وبينما هم يطلبون ان يقتلوه نما خبر الى امير الكتيبة ان اورشليم كلها اضطربت‎.	31 While they were trying to kill him, a report reached the cohort commander that all Jerusalem was rioting.
32 ‎فللوقت اخذ عسكرا وقواد مئات وركض اليهم. فلما رأوا الامير والعسكر كفوا عن ضرب بولس	32 He immediately took soldiers and centurions and charged down on them. When they saw the commander and the soldiers they stopped beating Paul.
33 حينئذ اقترب الامير وامسكه وامر ان يقيد بسلسلتين وطفق يستخبر ترى من يكون وماذا فعل‎.	33 The cohort commander came forward, arrested him, and ordered him to be secured with two chains; he tried to find out who he might be and what he had done.
34 ‎وكان البعض يصرخون بشيء والبعض بشيء آخر في الجمع. ولما لم يقدر ان يعلم اليقين لسبب الشغب امر ان يذهب به الى المعسكر‎.	34 Some in the mob shouted one thing, others something else; so, since he was unable to ascertain the truth because of the uproar, he ordered Paul to be brought into the compound.
35 ‎ولما صار على الدرج اتفق ان العسكر حمله بسبب عنف الجمع‎.	35 When he reached the steps, he was carried by the soldiers because of the violence of the mob,
36 ‎لان جمهور الشعب كانوا يتبعونه صارخين خذه	36 for a crowd of people followed and shouted, "Away with him!"
37 واذ قارب بولس ان يدخل المعسكر قال للامير ايجوز لي ان اقول لك شيئا. فقال أتعرف اليونانية‏‎.	37 Just as Paul was about to be taken into the compound, he said to the cohort commander, "May I say something to you?" He replied, "Do you speak Greek?
38 ‎أفلست انت المصري الذي صنع قبل هذه الايام فتنة واخرج الى البرية اربعة الآلاف الرجل من القتلة‎.	38 So then you are not the Egyptian who started a revolt some time ago and led the four thousand assassins into the desert?"
39 ‎فقال بولس انا رجل يهودي طرسوسي من اهل مدينة غير دنية من كيليكية. والتمس منك ان تأذن لي ان اكلم الشعب‎.	39 Paul answered, "I am a Jew, of Tarsus in Cilicia, a citizen of no mean city; I request you to permit me to speak to the people."
40 ‎فلما اذن له وقف بولس على الدرج واشار بيده الى الشعب. فصار سكوت عظيم. فنادى باللغة العبرانية قائلا	40 When he had given his permission, Paul stood on the steps and motioned with his hand to the people; and when all was quiet he addressed them in Hebrew.
