Acts of the Apostles 11

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	SMITH VAN DYKE
1 Now the Apostles and brothers who were in Judea heard that the Gentiles had also received the Word of God.	1 فسمع الرسل والاخوة الذين كانوا في اليهودية ان الامم ايضا قبلوا‏ كلمة الله‎.
2 Then, when Peter had gone up to Jerusalem, those who were of the circumcision argued against him,	2 ‎ولما صعد بطرس الى اورشليم خاصمه الذين من اهل الختان
3 saying, “Why did you enter to uncircumcised men, and why did you eat with them?”	3 قائلين انك دخلت الى رجال ذوي غلفة واكلت معهم‎.
4 And Peter began to explain to them, in an orderly manner, saying:	4 ‎فابتدأ بطرس يشرح لهم بالتتابع قائلا‎.
5 “I was in the city of Joppa praying, and I saw, in an ecstasy of mind, a vision: a certain container descending, like a great linen sheet being let down from heaven by its four corners. And it drew near to me.	5 ‎انا كنت في مدينة يافا اصلّي فرأيت في غيبة رؤيا اناء نازلا مثل ملاءة عظيمة مدلاة باربعة اطراف من السماء فأتى اليّ‎.
6 And looking into it, I considered and saw the four-footed beasts of the earth, and the wild beasts, and the reptiles, and the flying things of the air.	6 ‎فتفرست فيه متأملا فرأيت دواب الارض والوحوش والزحافات وطيور السماء‎.
7 Then I also heard a voice saying to me: ‘Rise up, Peter. Kill and eat.’	7 ‎وسمعت صوتا قائلا لي قم يا بطرس اذبح وكل‎.
8 But I said: ‘Never, lord! For what is common or unclean has never entered into my mouth.’	8 ‎فقلت كلا يا رب لانه لم يدخل فمي قط دنس او نجس‎.
9 Then the voice responded a second time from heaven, ‘What God has cleansed, you shall not call common.’	9 ‎فاجابني صوت ثانية من السماء ما طهره الله لا تنجسه انت‎.
10 Now this was done three times. And then everything was taken up again into heaven.	10 ‎وكان هذا على ثلاث مرات ثم انتشل الجميع الى السماء ايضا‎.
11 And behold, immediately there were three men standing near the house where I was, having been sent to me from Caesarea.	11 ‎واذا ثلاثة رجال قد وقفوا للوقت عند البيت الذي كنت فيه مرسلين اليّ من قيصرية‎.
12 Then the Spirit told me that I should go with them, doubting nothing. And these six brothers went with me also. And we entered into the house of the man.	12 ‎فقال لي الروح ان اذهب معهم غير مرتاب في شيء. وذهب معي ايضا هؤلاء الاخوة الستة. فدخلنا بيت الرجل‎.
13 And he described for us how he had seen an Angel in his house, standing and saying to him: ‘Send to Joppa and summon Simon, who is surnamed Peter.	13 ‎فاخبرنا كيف رأى الملاك في بيته قائما وقائلا له ارسل الى يافا رجالا واستدع سمعان الملقب بطرس‎.
14 And he shall speak to you words, by which you shall be saved with your whole house.’	14 ‎وهو يكلمك كلاما به تخلص انت وكل بيتك‎.
15 And when I had begun to speak, the Holy Spirit fell upon them, just as upon us also, in the beginning.	15 ‎فلما ابتدأت اتكلم حل الروح القدس عليهم كما علينا ايضا في البداءة‎.
16 Then I remembered the words of the Lord, just as he himself said: ‘John, indeed, baptized with water, but you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit.’	16 ‎فتذكرت كلام الرب كيف قال ان يوحنا عمد بماء واما انتم فستعمدون بالروح القدس‎.
17 Therefore, if God gave them the same grace, as also to us, who have believed in the Lord Jesus Christ, who was I, that I would be able to prohibit God?”	17 ‎فان كان الله قد اعطاهم الموهبة كما لنا ايضا بالسوية مؤمنين بالرب يسوع المسيح فمن انا. أقادر ان امنع الله‎.
18 Having heard these things, they were silent. And they glorified God, saying: “So has God also given to the Gentiles repentance unto life.”	18 ‎فلما سمعوا ذلك سكتوا وكانوا يمجدون الله قائلين اذا اعطى الله الامم ايضا التوبة للحياة
19 And some of them, having been dispersed by the persecution that had occurred under Stephen, traveled around, even to Phoenicia and Cyprus and Antioch, speaking the Word to no one, except to Jews only.	19 اما الذين تشتتوا من جراء الضيق الذي حصل بسبب استفانوس فاجتازوا الى فينيقية وقبرس وانطاكية وهم لا يكلمون احدا بالكلمة الا اليهود فقط‎.
20 But some of these men from Cyprus and Cyrene, when they had entered into Antioch, were speaking also to the Greeks, announcing the Lord Jesus.	20 ‎ولكن كان منهم قوم وهم رجال قبرسيون وقيروانيون الذين لما دخلوا انطاكية كانوا يخاطبون اليونانيين مبشرين بالرب يسوع‎.
21 And the hand of the Lord was with them. And a great number believed and were converted to the Lord.	21 ‎وكانت يد الرب معهم فآمن عدد كثير ورجعوا الى الرب
22 Now the news came to the ears of the Church at Jerusalem about these things, and they sent Barnabas as far as Antioch.	22 فسمع الخبر عنهم في آذان الكنيسة التي في اورشليم فارسلوا برنابا لكي يجتاز الى انطاكية‎.
23 And when he had arrived there and had seen the grace of God, he was gladdened. And he exhorted them all to continue in the Lord with a resolute heart.	23 ‎الذي لما أتى ورأى نعمة الله فرح ووعظ الجميع ان يثبتوا في الرب بعزم القلب‎.
24 For he was a good man, and he was filled with the Holy Spirit and with faith. And a great multitude was added to the Lord.	24 ‎لانه كان رجلا صالحا وممتلئا من الروح القدس والايمان. فانضم الى الرب جمع غفير
25 Then Barnabas set out for Tarsus, so that he might seek Saul. And when he had found him, he brought him to Antioch.	25 ثم خرج برنابا الى طرسوس ليطلب شاول. ولما وجده جاء به الى انطاكية‎.
26 And they were conversing there in the Church for an entire year. And they taught such a great multitude, that it was at Antioch that the disciples were first known by the name of Christian.	26 ‎فحدث انهما اجتمعا في الكنيسة سنة كاملة وعلّما جمعا غفيرا ودعي التلاميذ مسيحيين في انطاكية اولا
27 Now in these days, prophets from Jerusalem went over to Antioch.	27 وفي تلك الايام انحدر انبياء من اورشليم الى انطاكية‎.
28 And one of them, named Agabus, rising up, signified through the Spirit that there was going to be a great famine over the entire world, which did happen under Claudius.	28 ‎وقام واحد منهم اسمه اغابوس واشار بالروح ان جوعا عظيما كان عتيدا ان يصير على جميع المسكونة. الذي صار ايضا في ايام كلوديوس قيصر‎.
29 Then the disciples declared, according to what each one possessed, what they would offer to be sent to the brothers living in Judea.	29 ‎فحتم التلاميذ حسبما تيسّر لكل منهم ان يرسل كل واحد شيئا خدمة الى الاخوة الساكنين في اليهودية‎.
30 And so they did, sending it to the elders by the hands of Barnabas and Saul.	30 ‎ففعلوا ذلك مرسلين الى المشايخ بيد برنابا وشاول
