Acts of the Apostles 9

DOUAI-RHEIMS	SMITH VAN DYKE
1 And Saul, as yet breathing out threatenings and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest,	1 اما شاول فكان لم يزل ينفث تهدّدا وقتلا على تلاميذ الرب. فتقدم الى رئيس الكهنة
2 And asked of him letters to Damascus, to the synagogues: that if he found any men and wemen of this way, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem.	2 وطلب منه رسائل الى دمشق الى الجماعات حتى اذا وجد اناسا من الطريق رجالا او نساء يسوقهم موثقين الى اورشليم‎.
3 And as he went on his journey, it came to pass that he drew nigh to Damascus; and suddenly a light from heaven shined round about him.	3 ‎وفي ذهابه حدث انه اقترب الى دمشق فبغتة ابرق حوله نور من السماء.
4 And falling on the ground, he heard a voice saying to him: Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?	4 فسقط على الارض وسمع صوتا قائلا له شاول شاول لماذا تضطهدني‎.
5 Who said: Who art thou, Lord? And he: I am Jesus whom thou persecutest. It is hard for thee to kick against the goad.	5 ‎فقال من انت يا سيد. فقال الرب انا يسوع الذي انت تضطهده. صعب عليك ان ترفس مناخس‎.
6 And he trembling and astonished, said: Lord, what wilt thou have me to do?	6 ‎فقال وهو مرتعد ومتحيّر يا رب ماذا تريد ان افعل. فقال له الرب قم وادخل المدينة فيقال لك ماذا ينبغي ان تفعل‎.
7 And the Lord said to him: Arise, and go into the city, and there it shall be told thee what thou must do. Now the men who went in company with him, stood amazed, hearing indeed a voice, but seeing no man.	7 ‎واما الرجال المسافرون معه فوقفوا صامتين يسمعون الصوت ولا ينظرون احدا‎.
8 And Saul arose from the ground; and when his eyes were opened, he saw nothing. But they leading him by the hands, brought him to Damascus.	8 ‎فنهض شاول عن الارض وكان وهو مفتوح العينين لا يبصر احدا‎. ‎فاقتادوه بيده وادخلوه الى دمشق‎.
9 And he was there three days, without sight, and he did neither eat nor drink.	9 ‎وكان ثلاثة ايام لا يبصر فلم يأكل ولم يشرب
10 Now there was a certain disciple at Damascus, named Ananias. And the Lord said to him in a vision: Ananias. And he said: Behold I am here, Lord.	10 وكان في دمشق تلميذ اسمه حنانيا. فقال له الرب في رؤيا يا حنانيا. فقال هانذا يا رب‎.
11 And the Lord said to him: Arise, and go into the street that is called Stait, and seek in the house of Judas, one named Saul of Tarsus. For behold he prayeth.	11 ‎فقال له الرب قم واذهب الى الزقاق الذي يقال له المستقيم واطلب في بيت يهوذا رجلا طرسوسيا اسمه شاول. لانه هوذا يصلّي
12 (And he saw a man named Ananias coming in, and putting his hands upon him, that he might receive his sight.)	12 وقد رأى في رؤيا رجلا اسمه حنانيا داخلا وواضعا يده عليه لكي يبصر‎.
13 But Ananias answered: Lord, I have heard by many of this man, how much evil he hath done to thy saints in Jerusalem.	13 ‎فاجاب حنانيا يا رب قد سمعت من كثيرين عن هذا الرجل كم من الشرور فعل بقديسيك في اورشليم‎.
14 And here he hath authority from the chief priests to bind all that invoke thy name.	14 ‎وههنا له سلطان من قبل رؤساء الكهنة ان يوثق جميع الذين يدعون باسمك‎.
15 And the Lord said to him: Go thy way; for this man is to me a vessel of election, to carry my name before the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel.	15 ‎فقال له الرب اذهب. لان هذا لي اناء مختار ليحمل اسمي امام امم وملوك وبني اسرائيل‎.
16 For I will shew him how great things he must suffer for my name's sake.	16 ‎لاني سأريه كم ينبغي ان يتألم من اجل اسمي‎.
17 And Ananias went his way, and entered into the house. And laying his hands upon him, he said: Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus hath sent me, he that appeared to thee in the way as thou camest; that thou mayest receive thy sight, and be filled with the Holy Ghost.	17 ‎فمضى حنانيا ودخل البيت ووضع عليه يديه وقال ايها الاخ شاول قد ارسلني الرب يسوع الذي ظهر لك في الطريق الذي جئت فيه لكي تبصر وتمتلئ من الروح القدس‎.
18 And immediately there fell from his eyes as it were scales, and he received his sight; and rising up, he was baptized.	18 ‎فللوقت وقع من عينيه شيء كانه قشور فابصر في الحال وقام واعتمد.
19 And when he had taken meat, he was strengthened. And he was with the disciples that were at Damascus, for some days.	19 وتناول طعاما فتقوى. وكان شاول مع التلاميذ الذين في دمشق اياما.
20 And immediately he preached Jesus in the synagogues, that he is the Son of God.	20 وللوقت جعل يكرز في المجامع بالمسيح ان هذا هو ابن الله‎.
21 And all that heard him, were astonished, and said: Is not this he who persecuted in Jerusalem those that called upon this name: and came hither for that intent, that he might carry them bound to the chief priests?	21 ‎فبهت جميع الذين كانوا يسمعون وقالوا أليس هذا هو الذي اهلك في اورشليم الذين يدعون بهذا الاسم. وقد جاء الى هنا لهذا ليسوقهم موثقين الى رؤساء الكهنة‎.
22 But Saul increased much more in strength, and confounded the Jews who dwelt at Damascus, affirming that this is the Christ.	22 ‎واما شاول فكان يزداد قوة ويحيّر اليهود الساكنين في دمشق محققا ان هذا هو المسيح
23 And when many days were passed, the Jews consulted together to kill him.	23 ولما تمت ايام كثيرة تشاور اليهود ليقتلوه‎.
24 But their laying in wait was made known to Saul. And they watched the gates also day and night, that they might kill him.	24 ‎فعلم شاول بمكيدتهم. وكانوا يراقبون الابواب ايضا نهارا وليلا ليقتلوه‎.
25 But the disciples taking him in the night, conveyed him away by the wall, letting him down in a basket.	25 ‎فاخذه التلاميذ ليلا وانزلوه من السور مدلين اياه في سل
26 And when he was come into Jerusalem, he essayed to join himself to the disciples; and they all were afraid of him, not believing that he was a disciple.	26 ولما جاء شاول الى اورشليم حاول ان يلتصق بالتلاميذ. وكان الجميع يخافونه غير مصدقين انه تلميذ‎.
27 But Barnabas took him, and brought him to the apostles, and told them how he had seen the Lord, and that he had spoken to him; and how in Damascus he had dealt confidently in the name of Jesus.	27 ‎فاخذه برنابا واحضره الى الرسل وحدثهم كيف ابصر الرب في الطريق وانه كلمه وكيف جاهر في دمشق باسم يسوع‎.
28 And he was with them coming in and going out in Jerusalem, and dealing confidently in the name of the Lord.	28 ‎فكان معهم يدخل ويخرج في اورشليم ويجاهر باسم الرب يسوع‎.
29 He spoke also to the Gentiles, and disputed with the Greeks; but they sought to kill him.	29 ‎وكان يخاطب ويباحث اليونانيين فحاولوا ان يقتلوه‎.
30 Which when the brethren had known, they brought him down to Caesarea, and sent him away to Tarsus.	30 ‎فلما علم الاخوة احدروه الى قيصرية وارسلوه الى طرسوس
31 Now the church had peace throughout all Judea, and Galilee, and Samaria; and was edified, walking in the fear of the Lord, and was filled with the consolation of the Holy Ghost.	31 واما الكنائس في جميع اليهودية والجليل والسامرة فكان لها سلام وكانت تبنى وتسير في خوف الرب وبتعزية الروح القدس كانت تتكاثر
32 And it came to pass that Peter, as he passed through, visiting all, came to the saints who dwelt at Lydda.	32 وحدث ان بطرس وهو يجتاز بالجميع نزل ايضا الى القديسين الساكنين في لدّة‎.
33 And he found there a certain man named Eneas, who had kept his bed for eight years, who was ill of the palsy.	33 ‎فوجد هناك انسانا اسمه اينياس مضطجعا على سرير منذ ثماني سنين وكان مفلوجا‎.
34 And Peter said to him: Eneas, the Lord Jesus Christ healeth thee: arise, and make thy bed. And immediately he arose.	34 ‎فقال له بطرس يا اينياس يشفيك يسوع المسيح. قم وافرش لنفسك‎. ‎فقام للوقت‎.
35 And all that dwelt at Lydda and Saron, saw him: who were converted to the Lord.	35 ‎ورآه جميع الساكنين في لدّة وسارون الذين رجعوا الى الرب
36 And in Joppe there was a certain disciple named Tabitha, which by interpretation is called Dorcas. This woman was full of good works and almsdeeds which she did.	36 وكان في يافا تلميذة اسمها طابيثا الذي ترجمته غزالة. هذه كانت ممتلئة اعمالا صالحة واحسانات كانت تعملها‎.
37 And it came to pass in those days that she was sick, and died. Whom when they had washed, they laid her in an upper chamber.	37 ‎وحدث في تلك الايام انها مرضت وماتت. فغسلوها ووضعوها في عليّة.
38 And forasmuch as Lydda was nigh to Joppe, the disciples hearing that Peter was there, sent unto him two men, desiring him that he would not be slack to come unto them.	38 واذ كانت لدّة قريبة من يافا وسمع التلاميذ ان بطرس فيها ارسلوا رجلين يطلبان اليه ان لا يتوانى عن ان يجتاز اليهم‎.
39 And Peter rising up, went with them. And when he was come, they brought him into the upper chamber. And all the widows stood about him weeping, and shewing him the coats and garments which Dorcas made them.	39 ‎فقام بطرس وجاء معهما. فلما وصل صعدوا به الى العليّة فوقفت لديه جميع الارامل يبكين ويرين اقمصة وثيابا مما كانت تعمل غزالة وهي معهنّ.
40 And they all being put forth, Peter kneeling down prayed, and turning to the body, he said: Tabitha, arise. And she opened her eyes; and seeing Peter, she sat up.	40 فاخرج بطرس الجميع خارجا وجثا على ركبتيه وصلّى ثم التفت الى الجسد وقال يا طابيثا قومي. ففتحت عينيها. ولما ابصرت بطرس جلست‎.
41 And giving her his hand, he lifted her up. And when he had called the saints and the widows, he presented her alive.	41 ‎فناولها يده واقامها. ثم نادى القديسين والارامل واحضرها حية‎.
42 And it was made known throughout all Joppe; and many believed in the Lord.	42 ‎فصار ذلك معلوما في يافا كلها فآمن كثيرون بالرب‎.
43 And it came to pass, that he abode many days in Joppe, with one Simon a tanner.	43 ‎ومكث اياما كثيرة في يافا عند سمعان رجل دباغ
