Atti degli Apostoli (اعمال) 21

SMITH VAN DYKE	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 ولما انفصلنا عنهم اقلعنا وجئنا متوجهين بالاستقامة الى كوس وفي اليوم التالي الى رودس. ومن هناك الى باترا‎.	1 And after these things had happened, having reluctantly parted from them, we sailed a direct course, arriving at Cos, and on following the day at Rhodes, and from there to Patara.
2 ‎فاذ وجدنا سفينة عابرة الى فينيقية صعدنا اليها واقلعنا‎.	2 And when we had found a ship sailing across to Phoenicia, climbing aboard, we set sail.
3 ‎ثم اطلعنا على قبرس وتركناها يسرة وسافرنا الى سورية واقبلنا الى صور لان هناك كانت السفينة تضع وسقها‎.	3 Then, after we had caught sight of Cyprus, keeping it to the left, we sailed on to Syria, and we arrived at Tyre. For the ship was going to unload its cargo there.
4 ‎واذ وجدنا التلاميذ مكثنا هناك سبعة ايام. وكانوا يقولون لبولس بالروح ان لا يصعد الى اورشليم‎.	4 Then, having found the disciples, we lodged there for seven days. And they were saying to Paul, through the Spirit, that he should not go up to Jerusalem.
5 ‎ولكن لما استكملنا الايام خرجنا ذاهبين وهم جميعا يشيعوننا مع النساء والاولاد الى خارج المدينة. فجثونا على ركبنا على الشاطئ وصلّينا‎.	5 And when the days were completed, setting out, we went on; and they all accompanied us with their wives and children, until we were outside of the city. And we kneeled down at the shore and prayed.
6 ‎ولما ودعنا بعضنا بعضا صعدنا الى السفينة. واما هم فرجعوا الى خاصتهم	6 And when we had said farewell to one another, we climbed aboard the ship. And they returned to their own.
7 ولما اكملنا السفر في البحر من صور اقبلنا الى بتولمايس فسلمنا على الاخوة ومكثنا عندهم يوما واحدا‎.	7 Yet truly, having completed our journey by boat from Tyre, we descended to Ptolemais. And greeting the brothers, we lodged with them for one day.
8 ‎ثم خرجنا في الغد نحن رفقاء بولس وجئنا الى قيصرية فدخلنا بيت فيلبس المبشر اذ كان واحدا من السبعة واقمنا عنده‎.	8 Then, after setting out the next day, we arrived at Caesarea. And upon entering into the house of Philip the evangelist, who was one of the seven, we stayed with him.
9 ‎وكان لهذا اربع بنات عذارى كنّ يتنبأن‎.	9 Now this man had four daughters, virgins, who were prophesying.
10 ‎وبينما نحن مقيمون اياما كثيرة انحدر من اليهودية نبي اسمه اغابوس‎.	10 And while we were delayed for some days, a certain prophet from Judea, named Agabus, arrived.
11 ‎فجاء الينا واخذ منطقة بولس وربط يدي نفسه ورجليه وقال هذا يقوله الروح القدس. الرجل الذي له هذه المنطقة هكذا سيربطه اليهود في اورشليم ويسلمونه الى ايدي الامم‎.	11 And he, when he had come to us, took Paul’s belt, and binding his own feet and hands, he said: “Thus says the Holy Spirit: The man whose belt this is, the Jews will bind in this way at Jerusalem. And they will deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles.”
12 ‎فلما سمعنا هذا طلبنا اليه نحن والذين من المكان ان لا يصعد الى اورشليم‎.	12 And when we had heard this, both we and those who were from that place begged him not to go up to Jerusalem.
13 ‎فاجاب بولس ماذا تفعلون تبكون وتكسرون قلبي لاني مستعد ليس ان أربط فقط بل ان اموت ايضا في اورشليم لاجل اسم الرب يسوع‎.	13 Then Paul responded by saying: “What do you accomplish by weeping and afflicting my heart? For I am prepared, not only to be bound, but also to die in Jerusalem, for the name of the Lord Jesus.”
14 ‎ولما لم يقنع سكتنا قائلين لتكن مشيئة الرب‎.	14 And since we were not able to persuade him, we quieted, saying: “May the will of the Lord be done.”
15 ‎وبعد تلك الايام تأهبنا وصعدنا الى اورشليم‎.	15 Then, after those days, having made preparations, we ascended to Jerusalem.
16 ‎وجاء ايضا معنا من قيصرية اناس من التلاميذ ذاهبين بنا الى مناسون وهو رجل قبرسي تلميذ قديم لننزل عنده	16 Now some of the disciples from Caesarea also went with us, bringing with them a certain Cypriot named Mnason, a very old disciple, whose guests we would be.
17 ولما وصلنا الى اورشليم قبلنا الاخوة بفرح‎.	17 And when we had arrived at Jerusalem, the brothers received us willingly.
18 ‎وفي الغد دخل بولس معنا الى يعقوب وحضر جميع المشايخ‎.	18 Then, on the following day, Paul entered with us to James. And all the elders were assembled.
19 ‎فبعدما سلم عليهم طفق يحدثهم شيئا فشيئا بكل ما فعله الله بين الامم بواسطة خدمته‎.	19 And when he had greeted them, he explained each thing that God had accomplished among the Gentiles through his ministry.
20 ‎فلما سمعوا كانوا يمجدون الرب. وقالوا له انت ترى ايها الاخ كم يوجد ربوة من اليهود الذين آمنوا وهم جميعا غيورون للناموس‎.	20 And they, upon hearing it, magnified God and said to him: “You understand, brother, how many thousands there are among the Jews who have believed, and they are all zealous for the law.
21 ‎وقد أخبروا عنك انك تعلّم جميع اليهود الذين بين الامم الارتداد عن موسى قائلا ان لا يختنوا اولادهم ولا يسلكوا حسب العوائد‎.	21 Now they have heard about you, that you are teaching those Jews who are among the Gentiles to withdraw from Moses, telling them that they should not circumcise their sons, nor act according to custom.
22 ‎فاذا ماذا يكون. لا بد على كل حال ان يجتمع الجمهور لانهم سيسمعون انك قد جئت‎.	22 What is next? The multitude ought to be convened. For they will hear that you have arrived.
23 ‎فافعل هذا الذي نقول لك. عندنا اربعة رجال عليهم نذر‎.	23 Therefore, do this thing that we ask of you: We have four men, who are under a vow.
24 ‎خذ هؤلاء وتطهر معهم وانفق عليهم ليحلقوا رؤوسهم فيعلم الجميع ان ليس شيء مما أخبروا عنك بل تسلك انت ايضا حافظا للناموس‎.	24 Take these and sanctify yourself with them, and require them to shave their heads. And then everyone will know that the things that they have heard about you are false, but that you yourself walk in keeping with the law.
25 ‎واما من جهة الذين آمنوا من الامم فارسلنا نحن اليهم وحكمنا ان لا يحفظوا شيئا مثل ذلك سوى ان يحافظوا على انفسهم مما ذبح للاصنام ومن الدم والمخنوق والزنى‎.	25 But, about those Gentiles who have believed, we have written a judgment that they should keep themselves from what has been immolated to idols, and from blood, and from what has been suffocated, and from fornication.”
26 ‎حينئذ اخذ بولس الرجال في الغد وتطهر معهم ودخل الهيكل مخبرا بكمال ايام التطهير الى ان يقرب عن كل واحد منهم القربان	26 Then Paul, taking the men on the next day, was purified with them, and he entered the temple, announcing the process of the days of purification, until an oblation would be offered on behalf of each one of them.
27 ولما قاربت الايام السبعة ان تتم رآه اليهود الذين من اسيا في الهيكل فاهاجوا كل الجمع والقوا عليه الايادي	27 But when the seven days were reaching completion, those Jews who were from Asia, when they had seen him in the temple, incited all the people, and they laid hands on him, crying out:
28 صارخين يا ايها الرجال الاسرائيليون اعينوا. هذا هو الرجل الذي يعلّم الجميع في كل مكان ضدا للشعب والناموس وهذا الموضع حتى ادخل يونانيين ايضا الى الهيكل ودنس هذا الموضع المقدس‎.	28 “Men of Israel, help! This is the man who is teaching, everyone, everywhere, against the people and the law and this place. Furthermore, he has even brought Gentiles into the temple, and he has violated this holy place.”
29 ‎لانهم كانوا قد رأوا معه في المدينة تروفيمس الافسسي فكانوا يظنون ان بولس ادخله الى الهيكل‎.	29 (For they had seen Trophimus, an Ephesian, in the city with him, and they supposed that Paul had brought him into the temple.)
30 ‎فهاجت المدينة كلها وتراكض الشعب وامسكوا بولس وجروه خارج الهيكل وللوقت اغلقت الابواب‎.	30 And the entire city was stirred up. And it happened that the people ran together. And apprehending Paul, they dragged him outside of the temple. And immediately the doors were closed.
31 ‎وبينما هم يطلبون ان يقتلوه نما خبر الى امير الكتيبة ان اورشليم كلها اضطربت‎.	31 Then, as they were seeking to kill him, it was reported to the tribune of the cohort: “All Jerusalem is in confusion.”
32 ‎فللوقت اخذ عسكرا وقواد مئات وركض اليهم. فلما رأوا الامير والعسكر كفوا عن ضرب بولس	32 And so, immediately taking soldiers and centurions, he rushed down to them. And when they had seen the tribune and the soldiers, they ceased to strike Paul.
33 حينئذ اقترب الامير وامسكه وامر ان يقيد بسلسلتين وطفق يستخبر ترى من يكون وماذا فعل‎.	33 Then the tribune, drawing near, apprehended him and ordered that he be bound with two chains. And he was asking who he was and what he had done.
34 ‎وكان البعض يصرخون بشيء والبعض بشيء آخر في الجمع. ولما لم يقدر ان يعلم اليقين لسبب الشغب امر ان يذهب به الى المعسكر‎.	34 Then they were crying out various things within the crowd. And since he could not understand anything clearly because of the noise, he ordered him to be brought into the fortress.
35 ‎ولما صار على الدرج اتفق ان العسكر حمله بسبب عنف الجمع‎.	35 And when he had arrived at the stairs, it happened that he was carried up by the soldiers, because of the threat of violence from the people.
36 ‎لان جمهور الشعب كانوا يتبعونه صارخين خذه	36 For the multitude of the people were following and crying out, “Take him away!”
37 واذ قارب بولس ان يدخل المعسكر قال للامير ايجوز لي ان اقول لك شيئا. فقال أتعرف اليونانية‏‎.	37 And as Paul was beginning to be brought into the fortress, he said to the tribune, “Is it permissible for me to say something to you?” And he said, “You know Greek?
38 ‎أفلست انت المصري الذي صنع قبل هذه الايام فتنة واخرج الى البرية اربعة الآلاف الرجل من القتلة‎.	38 So then, are you not that Egyptian who before these days incited a rebellion and led out into the desert four thousand murderous men?”
39 ‎فقال بولس انا رجل يهودي طرسوسي من اهل مدينة غير دنية من كيليكية. والتمس منك ان تأذن لي ان اكلم الشعب‎.	39 But Paul said to him: “I am a man, indeed a Jew, from Tarsus in Cilicia, a citizen of a well-known city. So I petition you, permit me to speak to the people.”
40 ‎فلما اذن له وقف بولس على الدرج واشار بيده الى الشعب. فصار سكوت عظيم. فنادى باللغة العبرانية قائلا	40 And when he had given him permission, Paul, standing on the stairs, motioned with his hand to the people. And when a great silence occurred, he spoke to them in the Hebrew language, saying:
