Acts of the Apostles 7

DOUAI-RHEIMS	SMITH VAN DYKE
1 Then the high priest said: Are these things so?	1 فقال رئيس الكهنة أترى هذه الامور هكذا هي‎.
2 Who said: Ye men, brethren, and fathers, hear. The God of glory appeared to our father Abraham, when he was in Mesopotamia, before he dwelt in Charan.	2 ‎فقال ايها الرجال الاخوة والآباء اسمعوا. ظهر اله المجد لابينا ابراهيم وهو في ما بين النهرين قبلما سكن في حاران
3 And said to him: Go forth out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and come into the land which I shall shew thee.	3 وقال له اخرج من ارضك ومن عشيرتك وهلم الى الارض التي اريك‏‎.
4 Then he went out of the land of the Chaldeans, and dwelt in Charan. And from thence, after his father was dead, he removed him into this land, wherein you now dwell.	4 ‎فخرج حينئذ من ارض الكلدانيين وسكن في حاران. ومن هناك نقله بعد ما مات ابوه الى هذه الارض التي انتم الآن ساكنون فيها‎.
5 And he gave him no inheritance in it; no, not the pace of a foot: but he promised to give it him in possession, and to his seed after him, when as yet he had no child.	5 ‎ولم يعطه فيها ميراثا ولا وطأة قدم ولكن وعد ان يعطيها ملكا له ولنسله من بعده ولم يكن له بعد ولد‎.
6 And God said to him: That his seed should sojourn in a strange country, and that they should bring them under bondage, and treat them evil four hundred years.	6 ‎وتكلم الله هكذا. ان يكون نسله متغربا في ارض غريبة فيستعبدوه ويسيئوا اليه اربع مئة سنة‎.
7 And the nation which they shall serve will I judge, said the Lord; and after these things they shall go out, and shall serve me in this place.	7 ‎والامة التي يستعبدون لها سادينها انا يقول الله. وبعد ذلك يخرجون ويعبدونني في هذا المكان‎.
8 And he gave him the covenant of circumcision, and so he begot Isaac, and circumcised him the eighth day; and Isaac begot Jacob; and Jacob the twelve patriarchs.	8 ‎واعطاه عهد الختان وهكذا ولد اسحق وختنه في اليوم الثامن. واسحق ولد يعقوب ويعقوب ولد رؤساء الآباء الاثني عشر‎.
9 And the patriarchs, through envy, sold Joseph into Egypt; and God was with him,	9 ‎ورؤساء الآباء حسدوا يوسف وباعوه الى مصر وكان الله معه
10 And delivered him out of all his tribulations: and he gave him favour and wisdom in the sight of Pharao, the king of Egypt; and he appointed him governor over Egypt, and over all his house.	10 وانقذه من جميع ضيقاته واعطاه نعمة وحكمة امام فرعون ملك مصر فاقامه مدبرا على مصر وعلى كل بيته
11 Now there came a famine upon all Egypt and Chanaan, and great tribulation; and our fathers found no food.	11 ثم أتى جوع على كل ارض مصر وكنعان وضيق عظيم فكان آباؤنا لا يجدون قوتا‎.
12 But when Jacob had heard that there was corn in Egypt, he sent our fathers first:	12 ‎ولما سمع يعقوب ان في مصر قمحا ارسل آباءنا اول مرة‎.
13 And at the second time, Joseph was known by his brethren, and his kindred was made known to Pharao.	13 ‎وفي المرة الثانية استعرف يوسف الى اخوته واستعلنت عشيرة يوسف لفرعون‎.
14 And Joseph sending, called thither Jacob, his father, and all his kindred, seventy-five souls.	14 ‎فارسل يوسف واستدعى اباه يعقوب وجميع عشيرته خمسة وسبعين نفسا‎.
15 So Jacob went down into Egypt; and he died, and our fathers.	15 ‎فنزل يعقوب الى مصر ومات هو وآباؤنا
16 And they were translated into Sichem, and were laid in the sepulchre, that Abraham bought for a sum of money of the sons of Hemor, the son of Sichem.	16 ونقلوا الى شكيم ووضعوا في القبر الذي اشتراه ابراهيم بثمن فضة من بني حمور ابي شكيم‎.
17 And when the time of the promise drew near, which God had promised to Abraham, the people increased, and were multiplied in Egypt,	17 ‎وكما كان يقرب وقت الموعد الذي اقسم الله عليه لابراهيم كان ينمو الشعب ويكثر في مصر
18 Till another king arose in Egypt, who knew not Joseph.	18 الى ان قام ملك آخر لم يكن يعرف يوسف‎.
19 This same dealing craftily with our race, afflicted our fathers, that they should expose their children, to the end they might not be kept alive.	19 ‎فاحتال هذا على جنسنا واساء الى آبائنا حتى جعلوا اطفالهم منبوذين لكي لا يعيشوا
20 At the same time was Moses born, and he was acceptable to God: who was nourished three months in his father's house.	20 وفي ذلك الوقت ولد موسى وكان جميلا جدا. فربي هذا ثلاثة اشهر في بيت ابيه‎.
21 And when he was exposed, Pharao's daughter took him up, and nourished him for her own son.	21 ‎ولما نبذ اتخذته ابنة فرعون وربته لنفسها ابنا‎.
22 And Moses was instructed in all the wisdom of the Egyptians; and he was mighty in his words and in his deeds.	22 ‎فتهذب موسى بكل حكمة المصريين وكان مقتدرا في الاقوال والاعمال.
23 And when he was full forty years old, it came into his heart to visit his brethren, the children of Israel.	23 ولما كملت له مدة اربعين سنة خطر على باله ان يفتقد اخوته بني اسرائيل‎.
24 And when he had seen one of them suffer wrong, he defended him; and striking the Egyptian, he avenged him who suffered the injury.	24 ‎واذ رأى واحدا مظلوما حامى عنه وانصف المغلوب اذ قتل المصري‎.
25 And he thought that his brethren understood that God by his hand would save them; but they understood it not.	25 ‎فظن ان اخوته يفهمون ان الله على يده يعطيهم نجاة. واما هم فلم يفهموا‎.
26 And the day following, he shewed himself to them when they were at strife; and would have reconciled them in peace, saying: Men, ye are brethren; why hurt you one another?	26 ‎وفي اليوم الثاني ظهر لهم وهم يتخاصمون فساقهم الى السلامة قائلا ايها الرجال انتم اخوة. لماذا تظلمون بعضكم بعضا‎.
27 But he that did the injury to his neighbour thrust him away, saying: Who hath appointed thee prince and judge over us?	27 ‎فالذي كان يظلم قريبه دفعه قائلا من اقامك رئيسا وقاضيا علينا‎.
28 What, wilt thou kill me, as thou didst yesterday kill the Egyptian?	28 ‎أتريد ان تقتلني كما قتلت امس المصري‎.
29 And Moses fled upon this word, and was a stranger in the land of Madian, where he begot two sons.	29 ‎فهرب موسى بسبب هذه الكلمة وصار غريبا في ارض مديان حيث ولد ابنين
30 And when forty years were expired, there appeared to him in the desert of mount Sina, an angel in a flame of fire in a bush.	30 ولما كملت اربعون سنة ظهر له ملاك الرب في برية جبل سينا في لهيب نار عليقة‎.
31 And Moses seeing it, wondered at the sight. And as he drew near to view it, the voice of the Lord came unto him, saying:	31 ‎فلما رأى موسى ذلك تعجب من المنظر. وفيما هو يتقدم ليتطلع صار اليه صوت الرب
32 I am the God of thy fathers; the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. And Moses being terrified, durst not behold.	32 انا اله آبائك اله ابراهيم واله اسحق واله يعقوب. فارتعد موسى ولم يجسر ان يتطلع‎.
33 And the Lord said to him: Loose the shoes from thy feet, for the place wherein thou standest, is holy ground.	33 ‎فقال له الرب اخلع نعل رجليك لان الموضع الذي انت واقف عليه ارض مقدسة‎.
34 Seeing I have seen the affliction of my people which is in Egypt, and I have heard their groaning, and am come down to deliver them. And now come, and I will send thee into Egypt.	34 ‎اني لقد رأيت مشقة شعبي الذين في مصر وسمعت انينهم ونزلت لأنقذهم. فهلم الآن ارسلك الى مصر
35 This Moses, whom they refused, saying: Who hath appointed thee prince and judge? him God sent to be prince and redeemer by the hand of the angel who appeared to him in the bush.	35 هذا موسى الذي انكروه قائلين من اقامك رئيسا وقاضيا هذا ارسله الله رئيسا وفاديا بيد الملاك الذي ظهر له في العليقة‎.
36 He brought them out, doing wonders and signs in the land of Egypt, and in the Red Sea, and in the desert forty years.	36 ‎هذا اخرجهم صانعا عجائب وآيات في ارض مصر وفي البحر الاحمر وفي البرية اربعين سنة
37 This is that Moses who said to the children of Israel: A prophet shall God raise up to you of your own brethren, as myself: him shall you hear.	37 هذا هو موسى الذي قال لبني اسرائيل نبيا مثلي سيقيم لكم الرب الهكم من اخوتكم. له تسمعون‎.
38 This is he that was in the church in the wilderness, with the angel who spoke to him on mount Sina, and with our fathers; who received the words of life to give unto us.	38 ‎هذا هو الذي كان في الكنيسة في البرية مع الملاك الذي كان يكلمه في جبل سينا ومع آبائنا. الذي قبل اقوالا حية ليعطينا اياها‎.
39 Whom our fathers would not obey; but thrust him away, and in their hearts turned back into Egypt,	39 ‎الذي لم يشأ آباؤنا ان يكونوا طائعين له بل دفعوه ورجعوا بقلوبهم الى مصر
40 Saying to Aaron: Make us gods to go before us. For as for this Moses, who brought us out of the land of Egypt, we know not what is become of him.	40 قائلين لهرون اعمل لنا آلهة تتقدم امامنا. لان هذا موسى الذي اخرجنا من ارض مصر لا نعلم ماذا اصابه‎.
41 And they made a calf in those days, and offered sacrifices to the idol, and rejoiced in the works of their own hands.	41 ‎فعملوا عجلا في تلك الايام واصعدوا ذبيحة للصنم وفرحوا باعمال ايديهم‎.
42 And God turned, and gave them up to serve the host of heaven, as it is written in the books of the prophets: Did you offer victims and sacrifices to me for forty years, in the desert, O house of Israel?	42 ‎فرجع الله واسلمهم ليعبدوا جند السماء كما هو مكتوب في كتاب الانبياء. هل قربتم لي ذبائح وقرابين اربعين سنة في البرية يا بيت اسرائيل‎.
43 And you took unto you the tabernacle of Moloch, and the star of your god Rempham, figures which you made to adore them. And I will carry you away beyond Babylon.	43 ‎بل حملتم خيمة مولوك ونجم الهكم رمفان التماثيل التي صنعتموها لتسجدوا لها. فانقلكم الى ما وراء بابل
44 The tabernacle of the testimony was with our fathers in the desert, as God ordained for them, speaking to Moses, that he should make it according to the form which he had seen.	44 واما خيمة الشهادة فكانت مع آبائنا في البرية كما امر الذي كلم موسى ان يعملها على المثال الذي كان قد رآه‎.
45 Which also our fathers receiving, brought in with Jesus, into the possession of the Gentiles, whom God drove out before the face of our fathers, unto the days of David.	45 ‎التي ادخلها ايضا آباؤنا اذ تخلفوا عليها مع يشوع في ملك الامم الذين طردهم الله من وجه آبائنا الى ايام داود
46 Who found grace before God, and desired to find a tabernacle for the God of Jacob.	46 الذي وجد نعمة امام الله والتمس ان يجد مسكنا لاله يعقوب
47 But Solomon built him a house.	47 ولكن سليمان بنى له بيتا‎.
48 Yet the most High dwelleth not in houses made by hands, as the prophet saith:	48 ‎لكن العلي لا يسكن في هياكل مصنوعات الايادي. كما يقول النبي
49 Heaven is my throne, and the earth my footstool. What house will you build me? saith the Lord; or what is the place of my resting?	49 السماء كرسي لي والارض موطئ لقدميّ. اي بيت تبنون لي يقول الرب واي هو مكان راحتي‎.
50 Hath not my hand made all these things?	50 ‎أليست يدي صنعت هذه الاشياء كلها
51 You stiffnecked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, you always resist the Holy Ghost: as your fathers did, so do you also.	51 يا قساة الرقاب وغير المختونين بالقلوب والآذان انتم دائما تقاومون الروح القدس. كما كان آباؤكم كذلك انتم‎.
52 Which of the prophets have not your fathers persecuted? And they have slain them who foretold of the coming of the Just One; of whom you have been now the betrayers and murderers:	52 ‎اي الانبياء لم يضطهده آباؤكم وقد قتلوا الذين سبقوا فانبأوا بمجيء البار الذي انتم الآن صرتم مسلميه وقاتليه‎.
53 Who have received the law by the disposition of angels, and have not kept it.	53 ‎الذين اخذتم الناموس بترتيب ملائكة ولم تحفظوه
54 Now hearing these things, they were cut to the heart, and they gnashed with their teeth at him.	54 فلما سمعوا هذا حنقوا بقلوبهم وصروا باسنانهم عليه‎.
55 But he, being full of the Holy Ghost, looking up steadfastly to heaven, saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on the right hand of God. And he said: Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of man standing on the right hand of God.	55 ‎واما هو فشخص الى السماء وهو ممتلئ من الروح القدس فرأى مجد الله ويسوع قائما عن يمين الله‎.
56 And they crying out with a loud voice, stopped their ears, and with one accord ran violently upon him.	56 ‎فقال ها انا انظر السموات مفتوحة وابن الانسان قائما عن يمين الله‎.
57 And casting him forth without the city, they stoned him; and the witnesses laid down their garments at the feet of a young man, whose name was Saul.	57 ‎فصاحوا بصوت عظيم وسدوا آذانهم وهجموا عليه بنفس واحدة‎.
58 And they stoned Stephen, invoking, and saying: Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.	58 ‎واخرجوه خارج المدينة ورجموه. والشهود خلعوا ثيابهم عند رجلي شاب يقال له شاول‎.
59 And falling on his knees, he cried with a loud voice, saying: Lord, lay not this sin to their charge. And when he had said this, he fell asleep in the Lord. And Saul was consenting to his death.	59 ‎فكانوا يرجمون استفانوس وهو يدعو ويقول ايها الرب يسوع اقبل روحي.
	60 ثم جثا على ركبتيه وصرخ بصوت عظيم يا رب لا تقم لهم هذه الخطية. واذ قال هذا رقد
