Atti degli Apostoli (اعمال) 9

SMITH VAN DYKE	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 اما شاول فكان لم يزل ينفث تهدّدا وقتلا على تلاميذ الرب. فتقدم الى رئيس الكهنة	1 Now Saul, still breathing threats and beatings against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest,
2 وطلب منه رسائل الى دمشق الى الجماعات حتى اذا وجد اناسا من الطريق رجالا او نساء يسوقهم موثقين الى اورشليم‎.	2 and he petitioned him for letters to the synagogues in Damascus, so that, if he found any men or women belonging to this Way, he could lead them as prisoners to Jerusalem.
3 ‎وفي ذهابه حدث انه اقترب الى دمشق فبغتة ابرق حوله نور من السماء.	3 And as he made the journey, it happened that he was approaching Damascus. And suddenly, a light from heaven shone around him.
4 فسقط على الارض وسمع صوتا قائلا له شاول شاول لماذا تضطهدني‎.	4 And falling to the ground, he heard a voice saying to him, “Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me?”
5 ‎فقال من انت يا سيد. فقال الرب انا يسوع الذي انت تضطهده. صعب عليك ان ترفس مناخس‎.	5 And he said, “Who are you, Lord?” And he: “I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting. It is hard for you to kick against the goad.”
6 ‎فقال وهو مرتعد ومتحيّر يا رب ماذا تريد ان افعل. فقال له الرب قم وادخل المدينة فيقال لك ماذا ينبغي ان تفعل‎.	6 And he, trembling and astonished, said, “Lord, what do you want me to do?”
7 ‎واما الرجال المسافرون معه فوقفوا صامتين يسمعون الصوت ولا ينظرون احدا‎.	7 And the Lord said to him, “Rise up and go into the city, and there you will be told what you ought to do.” Now the men who were accompanying him were standing stupefied, hearing indeed a voice, but seeing no one.
8 ‎فنهض شاول عن الارض وكان وهو مفتوح العينين لا يبصر احدا‎. ‎فاقتادوه بيده وادخلوه الى دمشق‎.	8 Then Saul rose up from the ground. And upon opening his eyes, he saw nothing. So leading him by the hand, they brought him into Damascus.
9 ‎وكان ثلاثة ايام لا يبصر فلم يأكل ولم يشرب	9 And in that place, he was without sight for three days, and he neither ate nor drank.
10 وكان في دمشق تلميذ اسمه حنانيا. فقال له الرب في رؤيا يا حنانيا. فقال هانذا يا رب‎.	10 Now there was a certain disciple at Damascus, named Ananias. And the Lord said to him in a vision, “Ananias!” And he said, “Here I am, Lord.”
11 ‎فقال له الرب قم واذهب الى الزقاق الذي يقال له المستقيم واطلب في بيت يهوذا رجلا طرسوسيا اسمه شاول. لانه هوذا يصلّي	11 And the Lord said to him: “Rise up and go into the street that is called Straight, and seek, in the house of Judas, the one named Saul of Tarsus. For behold, he is praying.”
12 وقد رأى في رؤيا رجلا اسمه حنانيا داخلا وواضعا يده عليه لكي يبصر‎.	12 (And Paul saw a man named Ananias entering and imposing hands upon him, so that he might receive his sight.)
13 ‎فاجاب حنانيا يا رب قد سمعت من كثيرين عن هذا الرجل كم من الشرور فعل بقديسيك في اورشليم‎.	13 But Ananias responded: “Lord, I have heard from many about this man, how much harm he has done to your saints in Jerusalem.
14 ‎وههنا له سلطان من قبل رؤساء الكهنة ان يوثق جميع الذين يدعون باسمك‎.	14 And he has authority here from the leaders of the priests to bind all who invoke your name.”
15 ‎فقال له الرب اذهب. لان هذا لي اناء مختار ليحمل اسمي امام امم وملوك وبني اسرائيل‎.	15 Then the Lord said to him: “Go, for this one is an instrument chosen by me to convey my name before nations and kings and the sons of Israel.
16 ‎لاني سأريه كم ينبغي ان يتألم من اجل اسمي‎.	16 For I will reveal to him how much he must suffer on behalf of my name.”
17 ‎فمضى حنانيا ودخل البيت ووضع عليه يديه وقال ايها الاخ شاول قد ارسلني الرب يسوع الذي ظهر لك في الطريق الذي جئت فيه لكي تبصر وتمتلئ من الروح القدس‎.	17 And Ananias departed. And he entered the house. And laying his hands upon him, he said: “Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus, he who appeared to you on the way by which you arrived, sent me so that you would receive your sight and be filled with the Holy Spirit.”
18 ‎فللوقت وقع من عينيه شيء كانه قشور فابصر في الحال وقام واعتمد.	18 And immediately, it was as if scales had fallen from his eyes, and he received his sight. And rising up, he was baptized.
19 وتناول طعاما فتقوى. وكان شاول مع التلاميذ الذين في دمشق اياما.	19 And when he had taken a meal, he was strengthened. Now he was with the disciples who were at Damascus for some days.
20 وللوقت جعل يكرز في المجامع بالمسيح ان هذا هو ابن الله‎.	20 And he was continuously preaching Jesus in the synagogues: that he is the Son of God.
21 ‎فبهت جميع الذين كانوا يسمعون وقالوا أليس هذا هو الذي اهلك في اورشليم الذين يدعون بهذا الاسم. وقد جاء الى هنا لهذا ليسوقهم موثقين الى رؤساء الكهنة‎.	21 And all who heard him were astonished, and they said, “Is this not the one who, in Jerusalem, was fighting against those invoking this name, and who came here for this: so that he might lead them away to the leaders of the priests?”
22 ‎واما شاول فكان يزداد قوة ويحيّر اليهود الساكنين في دمشق محققا ان هذا هو المسيح	22 But Saul was increasing to a greater extent in ability, and so he was confounding the Jews who lived at Damascus, by affirming that he is the Christ.
23 ولما تمت ايام كثيرة تشاور اليهود ليقتلوه‎.	23 And when many days were completed, the Jews took counsel as one, so that they might put him to death.
24 ‎فعلم شاول بمكيدتهم. وكانوا يراقبون الابواب ايضا نهارا وليلا ليقتلوه‎.	24 But their treachery became known to Saul. Now they were also watching the gates, day and night, so that they might put him to death.
25 ‎فاخذه التلاميذ ليلا وانزلوه من السور مدلين اياه في سل	25 But the disciples, taking him away by night, sent him over the wall by letting him down in a basket.
26 ولما جاء شاول الى اورشليم حاول ان يلتصق بالتلاميذ. وكان الجميع يخافونه غير مصدقين انه تلميذ‎.	26 And when he had arrived in Jerusalem, he attempted to join himself to the disciples. And they were all afraid of him, not believing that he was a disciple.
27 ‎فاخذه برنابا واحضره الى الرسل وحدثهم كيف ابصر الرب في الطريق وانه كلمه وكيف جاهر في دمشق باسم يسوع‎.	27 But Barnabas took him aside and led him to the Apostles. And he explained to them how he had seen the Lord, and that he had spoken to him, and how, in Damascus, he had acted faithfully in the name of Jesus.
28 ‎فكان معهم يدخل ويخرج في اورشليم ويجاهر باسم الرب يسوع‎.	28 And he was with them, entering and departing Jerusalem, and acting faithfully in the name of the Lord.
29 ‎وكان يخاطب ويباحث اليونانيين فحاولوا ان يقتلوه‎.	29 He also was speaking with the Gentiles and disputing with the Greeks. But they were seeking to kill him.
30 ‎فلما علم الاخوة احدروه الى قيصرية وارسلوه الى طرسوس	30 And when the brothers had realized this, they brought him to Caesarea and sent him away to Tarsus.
31 واما الكنائس في جميع اليهودية والجليل والسامرة فكان لها سلام وكانت تبنى وتسير في خوف الرب وبتعزية الروح القدس كانت تتكاثر	31 Certainly, the Church had peace throughout all of Judea and Galilee and Samaria, and it was being built up, while walking in the fear of the Lord, and it was being filled with the consolation of the Holy Spirit.
32 وحدث ان بطرس وهو يجتاز بالجميع نزل ايضا الى القديسين الساكنين في لدّة‎.	32 Then it happened that Peter, as he traveled around everywhere, came to the saints who were living at Lydda.
33 ‎فوجد هناك انسانا اسمه اينياس مضطجعا على سرير منذ ثماني سنين وكان مفلوجا‎.	33 But he found there a certain man, named Aeneas, who was a paralytic, who had lain in bed for eight years.
34 ‎فقال له بطرس يا اينياس يشفيك يسوع المسيح. قم وافرش لنفسك‎. ‎فقام للوقت‎.	34 And Peter said to him: “Aeneas, the Lord Jesus Christ heals you. Rise up and arrange your bed.” And immediately he rose up.
35 ‎ورآه جميع الساكنين في لدّة وسارون الذين رجعوا الى الرب	35 And all who were living in Lydda and Sharon saw him, and they were converted to the Lord.
36 وكان في يافا تلميذة اسمها طابيثا الذي ترجمته غزالة. هذه كانت ممتلئة اعمالا صالحة واحسانات كانت تعملها‎.	36 Now in Joppa there was a certain disciple named Tabitha, which in translation is called Dorcas. She was filled with the good works and almsgiving that she was accomplishing.
37 ‎وحدث في تلك الايام انها مرضت وماتت. فغسلوها ووضعوها في عليّة.	37 And it happened that, in those days, she became ill and died. And when they had washed her, they laid her in an upper room.
38 واذ كانت لدّة قريبة من يافا وسمع التلاميذ ان بطرس فيها ارسلوا رجلين يطلبان اليه ان لا يتوانى عن ان يجتاز اليهم‎.	38 Now since Lydda was close to Joppa, the disciples, upon hearing that Peter was there, sent two men to him, asking him: “Do not be slow in coming to us.”
39 ‎فقام بطرس وجاء معهما. فلما وصل صعدوا به الى العليّة فوقفت لديه جميع الارامل يبكين ويرين اقمصة وثيابا مما كانت تعمل غزالة وهي معهنّ.	39 Then Peter, rising up, went with them. And when he had arrived, they led him to an upper room. And all the widows were standing around him, weeping and showing him the tunics and garments that Dorcas had made for them.
40 فاخرج بطرس الجميع خارجا وجثا على ركبتيه وصلّى ثم التفت الى الجسد وقال يا طابيثا قومي. ففتحت عينيها. ولما ابصرت بطرس جلست‎.	40 And when they had all been sent outside, Peter, kneeling down, prayed. And turning to the body, he said: “Tabitha, arise.” And she opened her eyes and, upon seeing Peter, sat up again.
41 ‎فناولها يده واقامها. ثم نادى القديسين والارامل واحضرها حية‎.	41 And offering her his hand, he lifted her up. And when he had called in the saints and the widows, he presented her alive.
42 ‎فصار ذلك معلوما في يافا كلها فآمن كثيرون بالرب‎.	42 Now this became known throughout all of Joppa. And many believed in the Lord.
43 ‎ومكث اياما كثيرة في يافا عند سمعان رجل دباغ	43 And it happened that he resided for many days in Joppa, with a certain Simon, a tanner.
