Atti degli Apostoli (اعمال) 8

SMITH VAN DYKE	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
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 Now in those days, there occurred a great persecution against the Church at Jerusalem. And they were all dispersed throughout the regions of Judea and Samaria, except the Apostles.
2 ‎وحمل رجال اتقياء استفانوس وعملوا عليه مناحة عظيمة‎.	2 But God-fearing men arranged for Stephen’s funeral, and they made a great mourning over him.
3 ‎واما شاول فكان يسطو على الكنيسة وهو يدخل البيوت ويجر رجالا ونساء ويسلمهم الى السجن	3 Then Saul was laying waste to the Church by entering throughout the houses, and dragging away men and women, and committing them to prison.
4 فالذين تشتتوا جالوا مبشرين بالكلمة‎.	4 Therefore, those who had been dispersed were traveling around, evangelizing the Word of God.
5 ‎فانحدر فيلبس الى مدينة من السامرة وكان يكرز لهم بالمسيح‎.	5 Now Philip, descending to a city of Samaria, was preaching Christ to them.
6 ‎وكان الجموع يصغون بنفس واحدة الى ما يقوله فيلبس عند استماعهم ونظرهم الآيات التي صنعها‎.	6 And the crowd was listening intently and with one accord to those things which were being said by Philip, and they were watching the signs which he was accomplishing.
7 ‎لان كثيرين من الذين بهم ارواح نجسة كانت تخرج صارخة بصوت عظيم‎. ‎وكثيرون من المفلوجين والعرج شفوا‎.	7 For many of them had unclean spirits, and, crying out with a loud voice, these departed from them.
8 ‎فكان فرح عظيم في تلك المدينة	8 And many of the paralytics and the lame were cured.
9 وكان قبلا في المدينة رجل اسمه سيمون يستعمل السحر ويدهش شعب السامرة قائلا انه شيء عظيم‎.	9 Therefore, there was great gladness in that city. Now there was a certain man named Simon, who formerly had been a magician in that city, seducing the people of Samaria, claiming himself to be someone great.
10 ‎وكان الجميع يتبعونه من الصغير الى الكبير قائلين هذا هو قوة الله العظيمة‎.	10 And to all those who would listen, from the least even to the greatest, he was saying: “Here 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 deluded them with his magic.
12 ‎ولكن لما صدقوا فيلبس وهو يبشر بالامور المختصة بملكوت الله وباسم يسوع المسيح اعتمدوا رجالا ونساء‎.	12 Yet truly, once they had believed Philip, who was evangelizing the kingdom of God, both men and women were baptized in the name of Jesus Christ.
13 ‎وسيمون ايضا نفسه آمن. ولما اعتمد كان يلازم فيلبس. واذ رأى آيات وقوات عظيمة تجرى اندهش	13 Then Simon himself also believed and, when he had been baptized, he adhered to Philip. And now, seeing also the greatest signs and miracles being wrought, he was amazed and stupefied.
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 Peter and John to them.
15 ‎اللذين لما نزلا صلّيا لاجلهم لكي يقبلوا الروح القدس‎.	15 And when they had arrived, they prayed for them, so that they might receive the Holy Spirit.
16 ‎لانه لم يكن قد حل بعد على احد منهم. غير انهم كانوا معتمدين باسم الرب يسوع‎.	16 For he had not yet come to any among them, since 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 on them, and they received the Holy Spirit.
18 ‎ولما رأى سيمون انه بوضع ايدي الرسل يعطى الروح القدس قدم لهما دراهم	18 But when Simon had seen that, by the imposition of the hands of the Apostles, the Holy Spirit 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 this power to me also, so that on whomever I will lay my hands, he may receive the Holy Spirit.” But Peter said to him:
20 ‎فقال له بطرس لتكن فضتك معك للهلاك لانك ظننت ان تقتني موهبة الله بدراهم‎.	20 “Let your money be with you in perdition, for you have supposed that a gift of God might be possessed by money.
21 ‎ليس لك نصيب ولا قرعة في هذا الامر. لان قلبك ليس مستقيما امام الله‎.	21 There is no part or place for you in this matter. For your heart is not upright in the sight of God.
22 ‎فتب من شرك هذا واطلب الى الله عسى ان يغفر لك فكر قلبك‎.	22 And so, repent from this, your wickedness, and beg God, so that perhaps this plan of your heart might be forgiven you.
23 ‎لاني اراك في مرارة المرّ ورباط الظلم‎.	23 For I perceive you to be in the gall of bitterness and in the bond of iniquity.”
24 ‎فاجاب سيمون وقال اطلبا انتما الى الرب من اجلي لكي لا يأتي علي شيء مما ذكرتما‎.	24 Then Simon responded by saying, “Pray for me to the Lord, so that nothing of what you have said may happen to me.”
25 ‎ثم انهما بعدما شهدا وتكلما بكلمة الرب رجعا الى اورشليم وبشرا‏ قرى كثيرة للسامريين	25 And indeed, after testifying and speaking the Word of the Lord, they returned to Jerusalem, and they evangelized the many regions 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, “Rise up and go toward the south, to the way which descends from Jerusalem into Gaza, where there is a 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, an Ethiopian man, a eunuch, powerful under Candace, the queen of the Ethiopians, who was over all her treasures, had arrived in Jerusalem to worship.
28 ‎وكان راجعا وجالسا على مركبته وهو يقرأ النبي اشعياء‎.	28 And while returning, he was sitting upon his chariot and reading from the prophet Isaiah.
29 ‎فقال الروح لفيلبس تقدم ورافق هذه المركبة‎.	29 Then the Spirit said to Philip, “Draw near and join yourself to this chariot.”
30 ‎فبادر اليه فيلبس وسمعه يقرأ النبي اشعياء فقال ألعلك تفهم ما انت تقرأ‎.	30 And Philip, hurrying, heard him reading from the prophet Isaiah, and he said, “Do you think that you understand what you are reading?”
31 ‎فقال كيف يمكنني ان لم يرشدني احد. وطلب الى فيلبس ان يصعد ويجلس معه‎.	31 And he said, “But how can I, unless someone will have revealed it to me?” And he asked Philip to climb 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 Now the place in Scripture that he was reading was this: “Like a sheep he was led to the slaughter. And like a lamb silent before his shearer, so he opened not his mouth.
33 ‎في تواضعه انتزع قضاؤه وجيله من يخبر به لان حياته تنتزع من الارض‎.	33 He endured his judgment with humility. Who of his generation shall describe how his life was taken away from the earth?”
34 ‎فاجاب الخصي فيلبس وقال اطلب اليك. عن من يقول النبي هذا. عن نفسه ام عن واحد آخر‎.	34 Then the eunuch responded to Philip, saying: “I beg you, about whom is the prophet saying this? About himself, or about someone else?”
35 ‎ففتح فيلبس فاه وابتدأ من هذا الكتاب فبشره بيسوع	35 Then Philip, opening his mouth and beginning from this Scripture, evangelized Jesus to him.
36 وفيما هما سائران في الطريق اقبلا على ماء. فقال الخصي هوذا ماء. ماذا يمنع ان اعتمد‎.	36 And while they were going along the way, they arrived at a certain water source. And the eunuch said: “There is water. What would prevent 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 Then Philip said, “If you believe from your whole heart, it is permitted.” And he responded by saying, “I believe the Son of God to be Jesus the Christ.”
38 ‎فامر ان تقف المركبة فنزلا كلاهما الى الماء فيلبس والخصي فعمده.	38 And he ordered the chariot to stand still. And both Philip and the eunuch descended into the water. 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 had ascended from the water, the Spirit of the Lord took Philip away, and the eunuch did not see him anymore. Then he went on his way, rejoicing.
40 ‎واما فيلبس فوجد في اشدود. وبينما هو مجتاز كان يبشر جميع المدن حتى جاء الى قيصرية	40 Now Philip was found in Azotus. And continuing on, he evangelized all the cities, until he arrived in Caesarea.
