Acts of the Apostles 22

DOUAI-RHEIMS	SMITH VAN DYKE
1 Men, brethren, and fathers, hear ye the account which I now give unto you.	1 ايها الرجال الاخوة والآباء اسمعوا احتجاجي الآن لديكم‎.
2 (And when they heard that he spoke to them in the Hebrew tongue, they kept the more silence.)	2 ‎فلما سمعوا انه ينادي لهم باللغة العبرانية اعطوا سكوتا احرى‎. ‎فقال
3 And he saith: I am a Jew, born at Tarsus in Cilicia, but brought up in this city, at the feet of Gamaliel, taught according to the truth of the law of the fathers, zealous for the law, as also all you are this day:	3 انا رجل يهودي ولدت في طرسوس كيليكية ولكن ربيت في هذه المدينة مؤدبا عند رجلي غمالائيل على تحقيق الناموس الابوي وكنت غيورا للّه كما انتم جميعكم اليوم‎.
4 Who persecuted this way unto death, binding and delivering into prisons both men and women.	4 ‎واضطهدت هذا الطريق حتى الموت مقيدا ومسلما الى السجون رجالا ونساء‎.
5 As the high priest doth bear me witness, and all the ancients: from whom also receiving letters to the brethren, I went to Damascus, that I might bring them bound from thence to Jerusalem to be punished.	5 ‎كما يشهد لي ايضا رئيس الكهنة وجميع المشيخة الذين اذ اخذت ايضا منهم رسائل للاخوة الى دمشق ذهبت لآتي بالذين هناك الى اورشليم مقيدين لكي يعاقبوا‎.
6 And it came to pass, as I was going, and drawing nigh to Damascus at midday, that suddenly from heaven there shone round about me a great light:	6 ‎فحدث لي وانا ذاهب ومتقرّب الى دمشق انه نحو نصف النهار بغتة ابرق حولي من السماء نور عظيم‎.
7 And falling on the ground, I heard a voice saying to me: Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?	7 ‎فسقطت على الارض وسمعت صوتا قائلا لي شاول شاول لماذا تضطهدني‎.
8 And I answered: Who art thou, Lord? And he said to me: I am Jesus of Nazareth, whom thou persecutest.	8 ‎فاجبت من انت يا سيد. فقال لي انا يسوع الناصري الذي انت تضطهده.
9 And they that were with me, saw indeed the light, but they heard not the voice of him that spoke with me.	9 والذين كانوا معي نظروا النور وارتعبوا ولكنهم لم يسمعوا صوت الذي كلمني‎.
10 And I said: What shall I do, Lord? And the Lord said to me: Arise, and go to Damascus; and there it shall be told thee of all things that thou must do.	10 ‎فقلت ماذا افعل يا رب. فقال لي الرب قم واذهب الى دمشق وهناك يقال لك عن جميع ما ترتب لك ان تفعل‎.
11 And whereas I did not see for the brightness of that light, being led by the hand by my companions, I came to Damascus.	11 ‎واذ كنت لا ابصر من اجل بهاء ذلك النور اقتادني بيدي الذين كانوا معي فجئت الى دمشق
12 And one Ananias, a man according to the law, having testimony of all the Jews who dwelt there,	12 ثم ان حنانيا رجلا تقيا حسب الناموس ومشهودا له من جميع اليهود السكان
13 Coming to me, and standing by me, said to me: Brother Saul, look up. And I the same hour looked upon him.	13 أتى اليّ ووقف وقال لي ايها الاخ شاول ابصر. ففي تلك الساعة نظرت اليه
14 But he said: The God of our fathers hath preordained thee that thou shouldst know his will, and see the Just One, and shouldst hear the voice from his mouth.	14 فقال. اله آبائنا انتخبك لتعلم مشيئته وتبصر البار وتسمع صوتا من فمه‎.
15 For thou shalt be his witness to all men, of those things which thou hast seen and heard.	15 ‎لانك ستكون له شاهدا لجميع الناس بما رايت وسمعت‎.
16 And now why tarriest thou? Rise up, and be baptized, and wash away thy sins, invoking his name.	16 ‎والآن لماذا تتوانى. قم واعتمد واغسل خطاياك داعيا باسم الرب
17 And it came to pass, when I was come again to Jerusalem, and was praying in the temple, that I was in a trance,	17 وحدث لي بعدما رجعت الى اورشليم وكنت اصلّي في الهيكل اني حصلت في غيبة
18 And saw him saying unto me: Make haste, and get thee quickly out of Jerusalem; because they will not receive thy testimony concerning me.	18 فرأيته قائلا لي اسرع واخرج عاجلا من اورشليم لانهم لا يقبلون شهادتك عني‎.
19 And I said: Lord, they know that I cast into prison, and beat in every synagogue, them that believed in thee.	19 ‎فقلت يا رب هم يعلمون اني كنت احبس واضرب في كل مجمع الذين يؤمنون بك‎.
20 And when the blood of Stephen thy witness was shed, I stood by and consented, and kept the garments of them that killed him.	20 ‎وحين سفك دم استفانوس شهيدك كنت انا واقفا وراضيا بقتله وحافظا ثياب الذين قتلوه‎.
21 And he said to me: Go, for unto the Gentiles afar off, will I send thee.	21 ‎فقال لي اذهب فاني سارسلك الى الامم بعيدا
22 And they heard him until this word, and then lifted up their voice, saying: Away with such an one from the earth; for it is not fit that he should live.	22 فسمعوا له حتى هذه الكلمة ثم رفعوا اصواتهم قائلين خذ مثل هذا من الارض لانه كان لا يجوز ان يعيش‎.
23 And as they cried out and threw off their garments, and cast dust into the air,	23 ‎واذ كانوا يصيحون ويطرحون ثيابهم ويرمون غبارا الى الجو
24 The tribune commanded him to be brought into the castle, and that he should be scourged and tortured: to know for what cause they did so cry out against him.	24 أمر الامير ان يذهب به الى المعسكر قائلا ان يفحص بضربات ليعلم لاي سبب كانوا يصرخون عليه هكذا
25 And when they had bound him with thongs, Paul saith to the centurion that stood by him: Is it lawful for you to scourge a man that is a Roman, and uncondemned?	25 فلما مدوه للسياط قال بولس لقائد المئة الواقف أيجوز لكم ان تجلدوا انسانا رومانيا غير مقضي عليه‎.
26 Which the centurion hearing, went to the tribune, and told him, saying: What art thou about to do? For this man is a Roman citizen.	26 ‎فاذ سمع قائد المئة ذهب الى الامير واخبره قائلا انظر ماذا انت مزمع ان تفعل. لان هذا الرجل روماني‎.
27 And the tribune coming, said to him: Tell me, art thou a Roman? But he said: Yea.	27 ‎فجاء الامير وقال له قل لي. انت روماني. فقال نعم‎.
28 And the tribune answered: I obtained the being free of this city with a great sum. And Paul said: But I was born so.	28 ‎فاجاب الامير اما انا فبمبلغ كبير اقتنيت هذه الرعوية. فقال بولس اما انا فقد ولدت فيها‎.
29 Immediately therefore they departed from him that were about to torture him. The tribune also was afraid after he understood that he was a Roman citizen, and because he had bound him.	29 ‎وللوقت تنحى عنه الذين كانوا مزمعين ان يفحصوه واختشى الامير لما علم انه روماني ولانه قد قيده
30 But on the next day, meaning to know more diligently for what cause he was accused by the Jews, he loosed him, and commanded the priests to come together, and all the council: and bringing forth Paul, he set him before them.	30 وفي الغد اذ كان يريد ان يعلم اليقين لماذا يشتكي اليهود عليه حله من الرباط وامر ان يحضر رؤساء الكهنة وكل مجمعهم فاحدر بولس واقامه لديهم
