Atti degli Apostoli (اعمال) 12

SMITH VAN DYKE	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 وفي ذلك الوقت مدّ هيرودس الملك يديه ليسيء الى اناس من الكنيسة‎.	1 Now at the same time, king Herod extended his hand, in order to afflict some from the Church.
2 ‎فقتل يعقوب اخا يوحنا بالسيف‎.	2 Then he killed James, the brother of John, with the sword.
3 ‎واذ رأى ان ذلك يرضي اليهود عاد فقبض على بطرس ايضا. وكانت ايام الفطير‎.	3 And seeing that it pleased the Jews, he set out next to apprehend Peter also. Now it was the days of Unleavened Bread.
4 ‎ولما امسكه وضعه في السجن مسلما اياه الى اربعة ارابع من العسكر ليحرسوه ناويا ان يقدمه بعد الفصح الى الشعب‎.	4 So when he had apprehended him, he sent him into prison, handing him over into the custody of four groups of four soldiers, intending to produce him to the people after the Passover.
5 ‎فكان بطرس محروسا في السجن. واما الكنيسة فكانت تصير منها صلاة بلجاجة الى الله من اجله	5 And so Peter was detained in prison. But prayers were being made without ceasing, by the Church, to God on his behalf.
6 ولما كان هيرودس مزمعا ان يقدمه كان بطرس في تلك الليلة نائما بين عسكريين مربوطا بسلسلتين. وكان قدام الباب حراس يحرسون السجن‎.	6 And when Herod was ready to produce him, in that same night, Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, and was bound with two chains. And there were guards in front of the door, guarding the prison.
7 ‎واذا ملاك الرب اقبل ونور اضاء في البيت. فضرب جنب بطرس وايقظه قائلا قم عاجلا. فسقطت السلسلتان من يديه‎.	7 And behold, an Angel of the Lord stood near, and a light shined forth in the cell. And tapping Peter on the side, he awakened him, saying, “Rise up, quickly.” And the chains fell from his hands.
8 ‎وقال له الملاك تمنطق والبس نعليك. ففعل هكذا. فقال له البس رداءك واتبعني‎.	8 Then the Angel said to him: “Dress yourself, and put on your boots.” And he did so. And he said to him, “Wrap your garment around yourself and follow me.”
9 ‎فخرج يتبعه. وكان لا يعلم ان الذي جرى بواسطة الملاك هو حقيقي بل يظن انه ينظر رؤيا‎.	9 And going out, he followed him. And he did not know this truth: that this was being done by an Angel. For he thought that he was seeing a vision.
10 ‎فجازا المحرس الاول والثاني وأتيا الى باب الحديد الذي يؤدي الى المدينة فانفتح لهما من ذاته فخرجا وتقدما زقاقا واحدا وللوقت فارقه الملاك	10 And passing by the first and second guards, they came to the iron gate which leads into the city; and it opened for them by itself. And departing, they continued on along a certain side street. And suddenly the Angel withdrew from him.
11 فقال بطرس وهو قد رجع الى نفسه الآن علمت يقينا ان الرب ارسل ملاكه وانقذني من يد هيرودس ومن كل انتظار شعب اليهود‎.	11 And Peter, returning to himself, said: “Now I know, truly, that the Lord sent his Angel, and that he rescued me from the hand of Herod and from all that the people of the Jews were anticipating.”
12 ‎ثم جاء وهو منتبه الى بيت مريم ام يوحنا الملقب مرقس حيث كان كثيرون مجتمعين وهم يصلّون‎.	12 And as he was considering this, he arrived at the house of Mary, the mother of John, who was surnamed Mark, where many were gathered and were praying.
13 ‎فلما قرع بطرس باب الدهليز جاءت جارية اسمها رودا لتسمع‎.	13 Then, as he knocked at the door of the gate, a girl went out to answer, whose name was Rhoda.
14 ‎فلما عرفت صوت بطرس لم تفتح الباب من الفرح بل ركضت الى داخل واخبرت ان بطرس واقف قدام الباب‎.	14 And when she recognized the voice of Peter, out of joy, she did not open the gate, but instead, running in, she reported that Peter stood before the gate.
15 ‎فقالوا لها انت تهذين. واما هي فكانت تؤكد ان هكذا هو. فقالوا انه ملاكه‎.	15 But they said to her, “You are crazy.” But she reaffirmed that this was so. Then they were saying, “It is his angel.”
16 ‎واما بطرس فلبث يقرع. فلما فتحوا ورأوه اندهشوا‎.	16 But Peter was persevering in knocking. And when they had opened, they saw him and were astonished.
17 ‎فاشار اليهم بيده ليسكتوا وحدثهم كيف اخرجه الرب من السجن‎. ‎وقال اخبروا يعقوب والاخوة بهذا. ثم خرج وذهب الى موضع آخر	17 But motioning to them with his hand to be silent, he explained how the Lord had led him away from prison. And he said, “Inform James and those brothers.” And going out, he went away to another place.
18 فلما صار النهار حصل اضطراب ليس بقليل بين العسكر ترى ماذا جرى‏ لبطرس‎.	18 Then, when daylight came, there was no small commotion among the soldiers, as to what had happened concerning Peter.
19 ‎واما هيرودس فلما طلبه ولم يجده فحص الحراس وأمر ان ينقادوا الى القتل. ثم نزل من اليهودية الى قيصرية واقام هناك	19 And when Herod had requested him and did not obtain him, having had the guards interrogated, he ordered them led away. And descending from Judea into Caesarea, he lodged there.
20 وكان هيرودس ساخطا على الصوريين والصيداويين فحضروا اليه بنفس واحدة واستعطفوا بلاستس الناظر على مضجع الملك. ثم صاروا يلتمسون المصالحة لان كورتهم تقتات من كورة الملك‎.	20 Now he was angry with those of Tyre and Sidon. But they came to him with one accord, and, having persuaded Blastus, who was over the bedchamber of the king, they petitioned for peace, because their regions were supplied with food by him.
21 ‎ففي يوم معين لبس هيرودس الحلّة الملوكية وجلس على كرسي الملك وجعل يخاطبهم‎.	21 Then, on the appointed day, Herod was clothed in kingly apparel, and he sat in the judgment seat, and he gave a speech to them.
22 ‎فصرخ الشعب هذا صوت اله لا صوت انسان‎.	22 Then the people were crying out, “The voice of a god, and not of a man!”
23 ‎ففي الحال ضربه ملاك الرب لانه لم يعط المجد لله. فصار يأكله الدود ومات	23 And immediately, an Angel of the Lord struck him down, because he had not given honor to God. And having been consumed by worms, he expired.
24 واما كلمة الله فكانت تنمو وتزيد‎.	24 But the word of the Lord was increasing and multiplying.
25 ‎ورجع برنابا وشاول من اورشليم بعد ما كمّلا الخدمة واخذا معهما يوحنا الملقب مرقس	25 Then Barnabas and Saul, having completed the ministry, returned from Jerusalem, bringing with them John, who was surnamed Mark.
