Atti degli Apostoli (اعمال) 1

SMITH VAN DYKE	NEW JERUSALEM
1 ‎الكلام الاول انشأته يا ثاوفيلس عن جميع ما ابتدأ يسوع يفعله ويعلّم به	1 In my earlier work, Theophilus, I dealt with everything Jesus had done and taught from the beginning
2 الى اليوم الذي ارتفع فيه بعدما اوصى بالروح القدس الرسل الذين اختارهم‎.	2 until the day he gave his instructions to the apostles he had chosen through the Holy Spirit, and wastaken up to heaven.
3 ‎الذين اراهم ايضا نفسه حيّا ببراهين كثيرة بعدما تألم وهو يظهر لهم اربعين يوما ويتكلم عن الامور المختصة بملكوت الله‎.	3 He had shown himself alive to them after his Passion by many demonstrations: for forty days he hadcontinued to appear to them and tel them about the kingdom of God.
4 ‎وفيما هو مجتمع معهم اوصاهم ان لا يبرحوا من اورشليم بل ينتظروا موعد الآب الذي سمعتموه مني‎.	4 While at table with them, he had told them not to leave Jerusalem, but to wait there for what the Fatherhad promised. 'It is', he had said, 'what you have heard me speak about:
5 ‎لان يوحنا عمد بالماء واما انتم فستتعمّدون بالروح القدس ليس بعد هذه الايام بكثير‎.	5 John baptised with water but, not many days from now, you are going to be baptised with the HolySpirit.'
6 ‎اما هم المجتمعون فسألوه قائلين يا رب هل في هذا الوقت ترد الملك الى اسرائيل‎.	6 Now having met together, they asked him, 'Lord, has the time come for you to restore the kingdom toIsrael?'
7 ‎فقال لهم ليس لكم ان تعرفوا الازمنة والاوقات التي جعلها الآب في سلطانه‎.	7 He replied, 'It is not for you to know times or dates that the Father has decided by his own authority,
8 ‎لكنكم ستنالون قوة متى حل الروح القدس عليكم وتكونون لي شهودا في اورشليم وفي كل اليهودية والسامرة والى اقصى الارض	8 but you wil receive the power of the Holy Spirit which wil come on you, and then you will be mywitnesses not only in Jerusalem but throughout Judaea and Samaria, and indeed to earth's remotest end.'
9 ولما قال هذا ارتفع وهم ينظرون. واخذته سحابة عن اعينهم‎.	9 As he said this he was lifted up while they looked on, and a cloud took him from their sight.
10 ‎وفيما كانوا يشخصون الى السماء وهو منطلق اذا رجلان قد وقفا بهم بلباس ابيض	10 They were stil staring into the sky as he went, when suddenly two men in white were standing besidethem,
11 وقالا ايها الرجال الجليليون ما بالكم واقفين تنظرون الى السماء. ان يسوع هذا الذي ارتفع عنكم الى السماء سيأتي هكذا كما رأيتموه منطلقا الى السماء‏‎.	11 and they said, 'Why are you Galileans standing here looking into the sky? This Jesus who has beentaken up from you into heaven wil come back in the same way as you have seen him go to heaven.'
12 ‎حينئذ رجعوا الى اورشليم من الجبل الذي يدعى جبل الزيتون الذي هو بالقرب من اورشليم على سفر سبت‎.	12 So from the Mount of Olives, as it is cal ed, they went back to Jerusalem, a short distance away, nomore than a Sabbath walk;
13 ‎ولما دخلوا صعدوا الى العليّة التي كانوا يقيمون فيها بطرس ويعقوب ويوحنا واندراوس وفيلبس وتوما وبرثولماوس ومتى ويعقوب بن حلفى وسمعان الغيور ويهوذا اخو يعقوب‎.	13 and when they reached the city they went to the upper room where they were staying; there were Peterand John, James and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James son of Alphaeus andSimon the Zealot, and Jude son of James.
14 ‎هؤلاء كلهم كانوا يواظبون بنفس واحدة على الصلاة والطلبة مع النساء ومريم ام يسوع ومع اخوته	14 With one heart al these joined constantly in prayer, together with some women, including Mary themother of Jesus, and with his brothers.
15 وفي تلك الايام قام بطرس في وسط التلاميذ. وكان عدّة اسماء معا نحو مئة وعشرين. فقال	15 One day Peter stood up to speak to the brothers -- there were about a hundred and twenty people inthe congregation,
16 ايها الرجال الاخوة كان ينبغي ان يتم هذا المكتوب الذي سبق الروح القدس فقاله بفم داود عن يهوذا الذي صار دليلا للذين قبضوا على يسوع.	16 'Brothers,' he said, 'the passage of scripture had to be fulfil ed in which the Holy Spirit, speaking through David, foretel s the fate of Judas, who acted as guide to the men who arrested Jesus-
17 اذ كان معدودا بيننا وصار له نصيب في هذه الخدمة‎.	17 after being one of our number and sharing our ministry.
18 ‎فان هذا اقتنى حقلا من اجرة الظلم واذ سقط على وجهه انشق من الوسط فانسكبت احشاؤه كلها‎.	18 As you know, he bought a plot of land with the money he was paid for his crime. He fell headlong andburst open, and al his entrails poured out.
19 ‎وصار ذلك معلوما عند جميع سكان اورشليم حتى دعي ذلك الحقل في لغتهم حقل دما اي حقل دم‎.	19 Everybody in Jerusalem heard about it and the plot came to be cal ed "Bloody Acre", in their languageHakeldama.
20 ‎لانه مكتوب في سفر المزامير لتصر داره خرابا ولا يكن فيها ساكن وليأخذ وظيفته آخر‎.	20 Now in the Book of Psalms it says: Reduce his encampment to ruin and leave his tent unoccupied. Andagain: Let someone else take over his office.
21 ‎فينبغي ان الرجال الذين اجتمعوا معنا كل الزمان الذي فيه دخل الينا الرب يسوع وخرج	21 'Out of the men who have been with us the whole time that the Lord Jesus was living with us,
22 منذ معمودية يوحنا الى اليوم الذي ارتفع فيه عنا يصير واحدا منهم شاهدا معنا بقيامته‎.	22 from the time when John was baptising until the day when he was taken up from us, one must beappointed to serve with us as a witness to his resurrection.'
23 ‎فاقاموا اثنين يوسف الذي يدعى برسابا الملقب يوستس ومتياس‎.	23 Having nominated two candidates, Joseph known as Barsabbas, whose surname was Justus, andMatthias,
24 ‎وصلّوا قائلين ايها الرب العارف قلوب الجميع عيّن انت من هذين الاثنين ايا اخترته‎.	24 they prayed, 'Lord, you can read everyone's heart; show us therefore which of these two you havechosen
25 ‎ليأخذ قرعة هذه الخدمة والرسالة التي تعداها يهوذا ليذهب الى مكانه‎.	25 to take over this ministry and apostolate, which Judas abandoned to go to his proper place.'
26 ‎ثم ألقوا قرعتهم فوقعت القرعة على متياس فحسب مع الاحد عشر رسولا	26 They then drew lots for them, and as the lot fel to Matthias, he was listed as one of the twelveapostles.
