Acts of the Apostles 5

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	SMITH VAN DYKE
1 A man named Ananias, however, with his wife Sapphira, sold a piece of property.	1 ورجل اسمه حنانيا وامرأته سفيرة باع ملكا
2 He retained for himself, with his wife's knowledge, some of the purchase price, took the remainder, and put it at the feet of the apostles.	2 واختلس من الثمن وامراته لها خبر ذلك وأتى بجزء ووضعه عند ارجل الرسل‎.
3 But Peter said, "Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart so that you lied to the holy Spirit and retained part of the price of the land?	3 ‎فقال بطرس يا حنانيا لماذا ملأ الشيطان قلبك لتكذب على الروح القدس وتختلس من ثمن الحقل‎.
4 While it remained unsold, did it not remain yours? And when it was sold, was it not still under your control? Why did you contrive this deed? You have lied not to human beings, but to God."	4 ‎أليس وهو باق كان يبقى لك. ولما بيع ألم يكن في سلطانك. فما بالك وضعت في قلبك هذا الامر. انت لم تكذب على الناس بل على الله‎.
5 When Ananias heard these words, he fell down and breathed his last, and great fear came upon all who heard of it.	5 ‎فلما سمع حنانيا هذا الكلام وقع ومات. وصار خوف عظيم على جميع الذين سمعوا بذلك‎.
6 The young men came and wrapped him up, then carried him out and buried him.	6 ‎فنهض الاحداث ولفوه وحملوه خارجا ودفنوه
7 After an interval of about three hours, his wife came in, unaware of what had happened.	7 ثم حدث بعد مدة نحو ثلاث ساعات ان امرأته دخلت وليس لها خبر ما جرى‎.
8 Peter said to her, "Tell me, did you sell the land for this amount?" She answered, "Yes, for that amount."	8 ‎فاجابها بطرس قولي لي أبهذا المقدار بعتما الحقل. فقالت نعم بهذا المقدار‎.
9 Then Peter said to her, "Why did you agree to test the Spirit of the Lord? Listen, the footsteps of those who have buried your husband are at the door, and they will carry you out."	9 ‎فقال لها بطرس ما بالكما اتفقتما على تجربة روح الرب. هوذا ارجل الذين دفنوا رجلك على الباب وسيحملونك خارجا‎.
10 At once, she fell down at his feet and breathed her last. When the young men entered they found her dead, so they carried her out and buried her beside her husband.	10 ‎فوقعت في الحال عند رجليه وماتت. فدخل الشباب ووجدوها ميتة فحملوها خارجا ودفنوها بجانب رجلها‎.
11 And great fear came upon the whole church and upon all who heard of these things.	11 ‎فصار خوف عظيم على جميع الكنيسة وعلى جميع الذين سمعوا بذلك
12 Many signs and wonders were done among the people at the hands of the apostles. They were all together in Solomon's portico.	12 وجرت على ايدي الرسل آيات وعجائب كثيرة في الشعب. وكان الجميع بنفس واحدة في رواق سليمان‎.
13 None of the others dared to join them, but the people esteemed them.	13 ‎واما الآخرون فلم يكن احد منهم يجسر ان يلتصق بهم. لكن كان الشعب يعظمهم‎.
14 Yet more than ever, believers in the Lord, great numbers of men and women, were added to them.	14 ‎وكان مؤمنون ينضمون للرب اكثر. جماهير من رجال ونساء‎.
15 Thus they even carried the sick out into the streets and laid them on cots and mats so that when Peter came by, at least his shadow might fall on one or another of them.	15 ‎حتى انهم كانوا يحملون المرضى خارجا في الشوارع ويضعونهم على فرش واسرّة حتى اذا جاء بطرس يخيّم ولو ظله على احد منهم‎.
16 A large number of people from the towns in the vicinity of Jerusalem also gathered, bringing the sick and those disturbed by unclean spirits, and they were all cured.	16 ‎واجتمع جمهور المدن المحيطة الى اورشليم حاملين مرضى ومعذبين من ارواح نجسة وكانوا يبرأون جميعهم
17 Then the high priest rose up and all his companions, that is, the party of the Sadducees, and, filled with jealousy,	17 فقام رئيس الكهنة وجميع الذين معه الذين هم شيعة الصدوقيين وامتلأوا غيرة
18 laid hands upon the apostles and put them in the public jail.	18 فالقوا ايديهم على الرسل ووضعوهم في حبس العامة‎.
19 But during the night, the angel of the Lord opened the doors of the prison, led them out, and said,	19 ‎ولكن ملاك الرب في الليل فتح ابواب السجن واخرجهم وقال
20 "Go and take your place in the temple area, and tell the people everything about this life."	20 اذهبوا قفوا وكلموا الشعب في الهيكل بجميع كلام هذه الحياة‎.
21 When they heard this, they went to the temple early in the morning and taught. When the high priest and his companions arrived, they convened the Sanhedrin, the full senate of the Israelites, and sent to the jail to have them brought in.	21 ‎فلما سمعوا دخلوا الهيكل نحو الصبح وجعلوا يعلّمون. ثم جاء رئيس الكهنة والذين معه ودعوا المجمع وكل مشيخة بني اسرائيل فارسلوا الى الحبس ليؤتى بهم‎.
22 But the court officers who went did not find them in the prison, so they came back and reported,	22 ‎ولكن الخدام لما جاءوا لم يجدوهم في السجن فرجعوا واخبروا
23 "We found the jail securely locked and the guards stationed outside the doors, but when we opened them, we found no one inside."	23 قائلين اننا وجدنا الحبس مغلقا بكل حرص والحراس واقفين خارجا امام الابواب ولكن لما فتحنا لم نجد في الداخل احدا
24 When they heard this report, the captain of the temple guard and the chief priests were at a loss about them, as to what this would come to.	24 فلما سمع الكاهن وقائد جند الهيكل ورؤساء الكهنة هذه الاقوال ارتابوا من جهتهم ما عسى ان يصير هذا‎.
25 Then someone came in and reported to them, "The men whom you put in prison are in the temple area and are teaching the people."	25 ‎ثم جاء واحد واخبرهم قائلا هوذا الرجال الذين وضعتموهم في السجن هم في الهيكل واقفين يعلّمون الشعب‎.
26 Then the captain and the court officers went and brought them in, but without force, because they were afraid of being stoned by the people.	26 ‎حينئذ مضى قائد الجند مع الخدام فاحضرهم لا بعنف لانهم كانوا يخافون الشعب لئلا يرجموا‎.
27 When they had brought them in and made them stand before the Sanhedrin, the high priest questioned them,	27 ‎فلما احضروهم اوقفوهم في المجمع. فسألهم رئيس الكهنة
28 "We gave you strict orders (did we not?) to stop teaching in that name. Yet you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching and want to bring this man's blood upon us."	28 قائلا أما اوصيناكم وصية ان لا تعلّموا بهذا الاسم. وها انتم قد ملأتم اورشليم بتعليمكم وتريدون ان تجلبوا علينا دم هذا الانسان‎.
29 But Peter and the apostles said in reply, "We must obey God rather than men.	29 ‎فاجاب بطرس والرسل وقالوا ينبغي ان يطاع الله اكثر من الناس‎.
30 The God of our ancestors raised Jesus, though you had him killed by hanging him on a tree.	30 ‎اله آبائنا اقام يسوع الذي انتم قتلتموه معلقين اياه على خشبة‎.
31 God exalted him at his right hand as leader and savior to grant Israel repentance and forgiveness of sins.	31 ‎هذا رفّعه الله بيمينه رئيسا ومخلّصا ليعطي اسرائيل التوبة وغفران الخطايا‎.
32 We are witnesses of these things, as is the holy Spirit that God has given to those who obey him."	32 ‎ونحن شهود له بهذه الامور والروح القدس ايضا الذي اعطاه الله للذين يطيعونه
33 When they heard this, they became infuriated and wanted to put them to death.	33 فلما سمعوا حنقوا وجعلوا يتشاورون ان يقتلوهم‎.
34 But a Pharisee in the Sanhedrin named Gamaliel, a teacher of the law, respected by all the people, stood up, ordered the men to be put outside for a short time,	34 ‎فقام في المجمع رجل فريسي اسمه غمالائيل معلّم للناموس مكرم عند جميع الشعب وامر ان يخرج الرسل قليلا‎.
35 and said to them, "Fellow Israelites, be careful what you are about to do to these men.	35 ‎ثم قال لهم. ايها الرجال الاسرائيليون احترزوا لانفسكم من جهة هؤلاء الناس في ما انتم مزمعون ان تفعلوا‎.
36 Some time ago, Theudas appeared, claiming to be someone important, and about four hundred men joined him, but he was killed, and all those who were loyal to him were disbanded and came to nothing.	36 ‎لانه قبل هذه الايام قام ثوداس قائلا عن نفسه انه شيء. الذي التصق به عدد من الرجال نحو اربع مئة. الذي قتل وجميع الذين انقادوا اليه تبددوا وصاروا لا شيء‎.
37 After him came Judas the Galilean at the time of the census. He also drew people after him, but he too perished and all who were loyal to him were scattered.	37 ‎بعد هذا قام يهوذا الجليلي في ايام الاكتتاب وازاغ وراءه شعبا غفيرا. فذاك ايضا هلك وجميع الذين انقادوا اليه تشتتوا‎.
38 So now I tell you, have nothing to do with these men, and let them go. For if this endeavor or this activity is of human origin, it will destroy itself.	38 ‎والآن اقول لكم تنحوا عن هؤلاء الناس واتركوهم. لانه ان كان هذا الرأي او هذا العمل من الناس فسوف ينتقض‎.
39 But if it comes from God, you will not be able to destroy them; you may even find yourselves fighting against God." They were persuaded by him.	39 ‎وان كان من الله فلا تقدرون ان تنقضوه. لئلا توجدوا محاربين لله ايضا‎.
40 After recalling the apostles, they had them flogged, ordered them to stop speaking in the name of Jesus, and dismissed them.	40 ‎فانقادوا اليه. ودعوا الرسل وجلدوهم واوصوهم ان لا يتكلموا باسم يسوع ثم اطلقوهم
41 So they left the presence of the Sanhedrin, rejoicing that they had been found worthy to suffer dishonor for the sake of the name.	41 واما هم فذهبوا فرحين من امام المجمع لانهم حسبوا مستاهلين ان يهانوا من اجل اسمه‎.
42 And all day long, both at the temple and in their homes, they did not stop teaching and proclaiming the Messiah, Jesus.	42 ‎وكانوا لا يزالون كل يوم في الهيكل وفي البيوت معلّمين ومبشرين بيسوع المسيح
