Atti degli Apostoli (اعمال) 7

SMITH VAN DYKE	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 فقال رئيس الكهنة أترى هذه الامور هكذا هي‎.	1 Then the high priest asked, "Is this so?"
2 ‎فقال ايها الرجال الاخوة والآباء اسمعوا. ظهر اله المجد لابينا ابراهيم وهو في ما بين النهرين قبلما سكن في حاران	2 And he replied, "My brothers and fathers, listen. The God of glory appeared to our father Abraham while he was in Mesopotamia, before he had settled in Haran,
3 وقال له اخرج من ارضك ومن عشيرتك وهلم الى الارض التي اريك‏‎.	3 and said to him, 'Go forth from your land and (from) your kinsfolk to the land that I will show you.'
4 ‎فخرج حينئذ من ارض الكلدانيين وسكن في حاران. ومن هناك نقله بعد ما مات ابوه الى هذه الارض التي انتم الآن ساكنون فيها‎.	4 So he went forth from the land of the Chaldeans and settled in Haran. And from there, after his father died, he made him migrate to this land where you now dwell.
5 ‎ولم يعطه فيها ميراثا ولا وطأة قدم ولكن وعد ان يعطيها ملكا له ولنسله من بعده ولم يكن له بعد ولد‎.	5 Yet he gave him no inheritance in it, not even a foot's length, but he did promise to give it to him and his descendants as a possession, even though he was childless.
6 ‎وتكلم الله هكذا. ان يكون نسله متغربا في ارض غريبة فيستعبدوه ويسيئوا اليه اربع مئة سنة‎.	6 And God spoke thus, 'His descendants shall be aliens in a land not their own, where they shall be enslaved and oppressed for four hundred years;
7 ‎والامة التي يستعبدون لها سادينها انا يقول الله. وبعد ذلك يخرجون ويعبدونني في هذا المكان‎.	7 but I will bring judgment on the nation they serve,' God said, 'and after that they will come out and worship me in this place.'
8 ‎واعطاه عهد الختان وهكذا ولد اسحق وختنه في اليوم الثامن. واسحق ولد يعقوب ويعقوب ولد رؤساء الآباء الاثني عشر‎.	8 Then he gave him the covenant of circumcision, and so he became the father of Isaac, and circumcised him on the eighth day, as Isaac did Jacob, and Jacob the twelve patriarchs.
9 ‎ورؤساء الآباء حسدوا يوسف وباعوه الى مصر وكان الله معه	9 "And the patriarchs, jealous of Joseph, sold him into slavery in Egypt; but God was with him
10 وانقذه من جميع ضيقاته واعطاه نعمة وحكمة امام فرعون ملك مصر فاقامه مدبرا على مصر وعلى كل بيته	10 and rescued him from all his afflictions. He granted him favor and wisdom before Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, who put him in charge of Egypt and (of) his entire household.
11 ثم أتى جوع على كل ارض مصر وكنعان وضيق عظيم فكان آباؤنا لا يجدون قوتا‎.	11 Then a famine and great affliction struck all Egypt and Canaan, and our ancestors could find no food;
12 ‎ولما سمع يعقوب ان في مصر قمحا ارسل آباءنا اول مرة‎.	12 but when Jacob heard that there was grain in Egypt, he sent our ancestors there a first time.
13 ‎وفي المرة الثانية استعرف يوسف الى اخوته واستعلنت عشيرة يوسف لفرعون‎.	13 The second time, Joseph made himself known to his brothers, and Joseph's family became known to Pharaoh.
14 ‎فارسل يوسف واستدعى اباه يعقوب وجميع عشيرته خمسة وسبعين نفسا‎.	14 Then Joseph sent for his father Jacob, inviting him and his whole clan, seventy-five persons;
15 ‎فنزل يعقوب الى مصر ومات هو وآباؤنا	15 and Jacob went down to Egypt. And he and our ancestors died
16 ونقلوا الى شكيم ووضعوا في القبر الذي اشتراه ابراهيم بثمن فضة من بني حمور ابي شكيم‎.	16 and were brought back to Shechem and placed in the tomb that Abraham had purchased for a sum of money from the sons of Hamor at Shechem.
17 ‎وكما كان يقرب وقت الموعد الذي اقسم الله عليه لابراهيم كان ينمو الشعب ويكثر في مصر	17 "When the time drew near for the fulfillment of the promise that God pledged to Abraham, the people had increased and become very numerous in Egypt,
18 الى ان قام ملك آخر لم يكن يعرف يوسف‎.	18 until another king who knew nothing of Joseph came to power (in Egypt).
19 ‎فاحتال هذا على جنسنا واساء الى آبائنا حتى جعلوا اطفالهم منبوذين لكي لا يعيشوا	19 He dealt shrewdly with our people and oppressed (our) ancestors by forcing them to expose their infants, that they might not survive.
20 وفي ذلك الوقت ولد موسى وكان جميلا جدا. فربي هذا ثلاثة اشهر في بيت ابيه‎.	20 At this time Moses was born, and he was extremely beautiful. For three months he was nursed in his father's house;
21 ‎ولما نبذ اتخذته ابنة فرعون وربته لنفسها ابنا‎.	21 but when he was exposed, Pharaoh's daughter adopted him and brought him up as her own son.
22 ‎فتهذب موسى بكل حكمة المصريين وكان مقتدرا في الاقوال والاعمال.	22 Moses was educated (in) all the wisdom of the Egyptians and was powerful in his words and deeds.
23 ولما كملت له مدة اربعين سنة خطر على باله ان يفتقد اخوته بني اسرائيل‎.	23 "When he was forty years old, he decided to visit his kinsfolk, the Israelites.
24 ‎واذ رأى واحدا مظلوما حامى عنه وانصف المغلوب اذ قتل المصري‎.	24 When he saw one of them treated unjustly, he defended and avenged the oppressed man by striking down the Egyptian.
25 ‎فظن ان اخوته يفهمون ان الله على يده يعطيهم نجاة. واما هم فلم يفهموا‎.	25 He assumed (his) kinsfolk would understand that God was offering them deliverance through him, but they did not understand.
26 ‎وفي اليوم الثاني ظهر لهم وهم يتخاصمون فساقهم الى السلامة قائلا ايها الرجال انتم اخوة. لماذا تظلمون بعضكم بعضا‎.	26 The next day he appeared to them as they were fighting and tried to reconcile them peacefully, saying, 'Men, you are brothers. Why are you harming one another?'
27 ‎فالذي كان يظلم قريبه دفعه قائلا من اقامك رئيسا وقاضيا علينا‎.	27 Then the one who was harming his neighbor pushed him aside, saying, 'Who appointed you ruler and judge over us?
28 ‎أتريد ان تقتلني كما قتلت امس المصري‎.	28 Are you thinking of killing me as you killed the Egyptian yesterday?'
29 ‎فهرب موسى بسبب هذه الكلمة وصار غريبا في ارض مديان حيث ولد ابنين	29 Moses fled when he heard this and settled as an alien in the land of Midian, where he became the father of two sons.
30 ولما كملت اربعون سنة ظهر له ملاك الرب في برية جبل سينا في لهيب نار عليقة‎.	30 "Forty years later, an angel appeared to him in the desert near Mount Sinai in the flame of a burning bush.
31 ‎فلما رأى موسى ذلك تعجب من المنظر. وفيما هو يتقدم ليتطلع صار اليه صوت الرب	31 When Moses saw it, he was amazed at the sight, and as he drew near to look at it, the voice of the Lord came,
32 انا اله آبائك اله ابراهيم واله اسحق واله يعقوب. فارتعد موسى ولم يجسر ان يتطلع‎.	32 'I am the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob.' Then Moses, trembling, did not dare to look at it.
33 ‎فقال له الرب اخلع نعل رجليك لان الموضع الذي انت واقف عليه ارض مقدسة‎.	33 But the Lord said to him, 'Remove the sandals from your feet, for the place where you stand is holy ground.
34 ‎اني لقد رأيت مشقة شعبي الذين في مصر وسمعت انينهم ونزلت لأنقذهم. فهلم الآن ارسلك الى مصر	34 I have witnessed the affliction of my people in Egypt and have heard their groaning, and I have come down to rescue them. Come now, I will send you to Egypt.'
35 هذا موسى الذي انكروه قائلين من اقامك رئيسا وقاضيا هذا ارسله الله رئيسا وفاديا بيد الملاك الذي ظهر له في العليقة‎.	35 This Moses, whom they had rejected with the words, 'Who appointed you ruler and judge?' God sent as (both) ruler and deliverer, through the angel who appeared to him in the bush.
36 ‎هذا اخرجهم صانعا عجائب وآيات في ارض مصر وفي البحر الاحمر وفي البرية اربعين سنة	36 This man led them out, performing wonders and signs in the land of Egypt, at the Red Sea, and in the desert for forty years.
37 هذا هو موسى الذي قال لبني اسرائيل نبيا مثلي سيقيم لكم الرب الهكم من اخوتكم. له تسمعون‎.	37 It was this Moses who said to the Israelites, 'God will raise up for you, from among your own kinsfolk, a prophet like me.'
38 ‎هذا هو الذي كان في الكنيسة في البرية مع الملاك الذي كان يكلمه في جبل سينا ومع آبائنا. الذي قبل اقوالا حية ليعطينا اياها‎.	38 It was he who, in the assembly in the desert, was with the angel who spoke to him on Mount Sinai and with our ancestors, and he received living utterances to hand on to us.
39 ‎الذي لم يشأ آباؤنا ان يكونوا طائعين له بل دفعوه ورجعوا بقلوبهم الى مصر	39 "Our ancestors were unwilling to obey him; instead, they pushed him aside and in their hearts turned back to Egypt,
40 قائلين لهرون اعمل لنا آلهة تتقدم امامنا. لان هذا موسى الذي اخرجنا من ارض مصر لا نعلم ماذا اصابه‎.	40 saying to Aaron, 'Make us gods who will be our leaders. As for that Moses who led us out of the land of Egypt, we do not know what has happened to him.'
41 ‎فعملوا عجلا في تلك الايام واصعدوا ذبيحة للصنم وفرحوا باعمال ايديهم‎.	41 So they made a calf in those days, offered sacrifice to the idol, and reveled in the works of their hands.
42 ‎فرجع الله واسلمهم ليعبدوا جند السماء كما هو مكتوب في كتاب الانبياء. هل قربتم لي ذبائح وقرابين اربعين سنة في البرية يا بيت اسرائيل‎.	42 Then God turned and handed them over to worship the host of heaven, as it is written in the book of the prophets: 'Did you bring me sacrifices and offerings for forty years in the desert, O house of Israel?
43 ‎بل حملتم خيمة مولوك ونجم الهكم رمفان التماثيل التي صنعتموها لتسجدوا لها. فانقلكم الى ما وراء بابل	43 No, you took up the tent of Moloch and the star of (your) god Rephan, the images that you made to worship. So I shall take you into exile beyond Babylon.'
44 واما خيمة الشهادة فكانت مع آبائنا في البرية كما امر الذي كلم موسى ان يعملها على المثال الذي كان قد رآه‎.	44 "Our ancestors had the tent of testimony in the desert just as the One who spoke to Moses directed him to make it according to the pattern he had seen.
45 ‎التي ادخلها ايضا آباؤنا اذ تخلفوا عليها مع يشوع في ملك الامم الذين طردهم الله من وجه آبائنا الى ايام داود	45 Our ancestors who inherited it brought it with Joshua when they dispossessed the nations that God drove out from before our ancestors, up to the time of David,
46 الذي وجد نعمة امام الله والتمس ان يجد مسكنا لاله يعقوب	46 who found favor in the sight of God and asked that he might find a dwelling place for the house of Jacob.
47 ولكن سليمان بنى له بيتا‎.	47 But Solomon built a house for him.
48 ‎لكن العلي لا يسكن في هياكل مصنوعات الايادي. كما يقول النبي	48 Yet the Most High does not dwell in houses made by human hands. As the prophet says:
49 السماء كرسي لي والارض موطئ لقدميّ. اي بيت تبنون لي يقول الرب واي هو مكان راحتي‎.	49 'The heavens are my throne, the earth is my footstool. What kind of house can you build for me? says the Lord, or what is to be my resting place?
50 ‎أليست يدي صنعت هذه الاشياء كلها	50 Did not my hand make all these things?'
51 يا قساة الرقاب وغير المختونين بالقلوب والآذان انتم دائما تقاومون الروح القدس. كما كان آباؤكم كذلك انتم‎.	51 "You stiff-necked people, uncircumcised in heart and ears, you always oppose the holy Spirit; you are just like your ancestors.
52 ‎اي الانبياء لم يضطهده آباؤكم وقد قتلوا الذين سبقوا فانبأوا بمجيء البار الذي انتم الآن صرتم مسلميه وقاتليه‎.	52 Which of the prophets did your ancestors not persecute? They put to death those who foretold the coming of the righteous one, whose betrayers and murderers you have now become.
53 ‎الذين اخذتم الناموس بترتيب ملائكة ولم تحفظوه	53 You received the law as transmitted by angels, but you did not observe it."
54 فلما سمعوا هذا حنقوا بقلوبهم وصروا باسنانهم عليه‎.	54 When they heard this, they were infuriated, and they ground their teeth at him.
55 ‎واما هو فشخص الى السماء وهو ممتلئ من الروح القدس فرأى مجد الله ويسوع قائما عن يمين الله‎.	55 But he, filled with the holy Spirit, looked up intently to heaven and saw the glory of God and Jesus standing at the right hand of God,
56 ‎فقال ها انا انظر السموات مفتوحة وابن الانسان قائما عن يمين الله‎.	56 and he said, "Behold, I see the heavens opened and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God."
57 ‎فصاحوا بصوت عظيم وسدوا آذانهم وهجموا عليه بنفس واحدة‎.	57 But they cried out in a loud voice, covered their ears, and rushed upon him together.
58 ‎واخرجوه خارج المدينة ورجموه. والشهود خلعوا ثيابهم عند رجلي شاب يقال له شاول‎.	58 They threw him out of the city, and began to stone him. The witnesses laid down their cloaks at the feet of a young man named Saul.
59 ‎فكانوا يرجمون استفانوس وهو يدعو ويقول ايها الرب يسوع اقبل روحي.	59 As they were stoning Stephen, he called out, "Lord Jesus, receive my spirit."
60 ثم جثا على ركبتيه وصرخ بصوت عظيم يا رب لا تقم لهم هذه الخطية. واذ قال هذا رقد	60 Then he fell to his knees and cried out in a loud voice, "Lord, do not hold this sin against them"; and when he said this, he fell asleep.
