ACTS 8	أعمال الرسل 8
1 Now Saul was consenting to his death. At that time a great persecution arose against the church which was at Jerusalem; and they were all scattered throughout the regions of Judea and Samaria, except the apostles.	1 وَكَانَ شَاوُلُ رَاضِياً بِقَتْلِهِ. وَحَدَثَ فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ اضْطِهَادٌ عَظِيمٌ عَلَى الْكَنِيسَةِ الَّتِي فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ فَتَشَتَّتَ الْجَمِيعُ فِي كُوَرِ الْيَهُودِيَّةِ وَالسَّامِرَةِ مَا عَدَا الرُّسُلَ.
2 And devout men carried Stephen to his burial, and made great lamentation over him.	2 وَحَمَلَ رِجَالٌ أَتْقِيَاءُ اسْتِفَانُوسَ وَعَمِلُوا عَلَيْهِ مَنَاحَةً عَظِيمَةً.
3 As for Saul, he made havoc of the church, entering every house, and dragging off men and women, committing them to prison.	3 وَأَمَّا شَاوُلُ فَكَانَ يَسْطُو عَلَى الْكَنِيسَةِ وَهُوَ يَدْخُلُ الْبُيُوتَ وَيَجُرُّ رِجَالاً وَنِسَاءً وَيُسَلِّمُهُمْ إِلَى السِّجْنِ.
4 Therefore those who were scattered went everywhere preaching the word.	4 فَالَّذِينَ تَشَتَّتُوا جَالُوا مُبَشِّرِينَ بِالْكَلِمَةِ.
5 Then Philip went down to the city of Samaria and preached Christ to them.	5 فَانْحَدَرَ فِيلُبُّسُ إِلَى مَدِينَةٍ مِنَ السَّامِرَةِ وَكَانَ يَكْرِزُ لَهُمْ بِالْمَسِيحِ.
6 And the multitudes with one accord heeded the things spoken by Philip, hearing and seeing the miracles which he did.	6 وَكَانَ الْجُمُوعُ يُصْغُونَ بِنَفْسٍ وَاحِدَةٍ إِلَى مَا يَقُولُهُ فِيلُبُّسُ عِنْدَ اسْتِمَاعِهِمْ وَنَظَرِهِمُ الآيَاتِ الَّتِي صَنَعَهَا
7 For unclean spirits, crying with a loud voice, came out of many who were possessed; and many who were paralyzed and lame were healed.	7 لأَنَّ كَثِيرِينَ مِنَ الَّذِينَ بِهِمْ أَرْوَاحٌ نَجِسَةٌ كَانَتْ تَخْرُجُ صَارِخَةً بِصَوْتٍ عَظِيمٍ وَكَثِيرُونَ مِنَ الْمَفْلُوجِينَ وَالْعُرْجِ شُفُوا.
8 And there was great joy in that city.	8 فَكَانَ فَرَحٌ عَظِيمٌ فِي تِلْكَ الْمَدِينَةِ.
9 But there was a certain man called Simon, who previously practiced sorcery in the city and astonished the people of Samaria, claiming that he was someone great,	9 وَكَانَ قَبْلاً فِي الْمَدِينَةِ رَجُلٌ اسْمُهُ سِيمُونُ يَسْتَعْمِلُ السِّحْرَ وَيُدْهِشُ شَعْبَ السَّامِرَةِ قَائِلاً: «إِنَّهُ شَيْءٌ عَظِيمٌ!».
10 to whom they all gave heed, from the least to the greatest, saying, "This man is the great power of God."	10 وَكَانَ الْجَمِيعُ يَتْبَعُونَهُ مِنَ الصَّغِيرِ إِلَى الْكَبِيرِ قَائِلِينَ: «هَذَا هُوَ قُوَّةُ اللهِ الْعَظِيمَةُ».
11 And they heeded him because he had astonished them with his sorceries for a long time.	11 وَكَانُوا يَتْبَعُونَهُ لِكَوْنِهِمْ قَدِ انْدَهَشُوا زَمَاناً طَوِيلاً بِسِحْرِهِ.
12 But when they believed Philip as he preached the things concerning the kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ, both men and women were baptized.	12 وَلَكِنْ لَمَّا صَدَّقُوا فِيلُبُّسَ وَهُوَ يُبَشِّرُ بِالْأُمُورِ الْمُخْتَصَّةِ بِمَلَكُوتِ اللهِ وَبِاسْمِ يَسُوعَ الْمَسِيحِ اعْتَمَدُوا رِجَالاً وَنِسَاءً.
13 Then Simon himself also believed; and when he was baptized he continued with Philip, and was amazed, seeing the miracles and signs which were done.	13 وَسِيمُونُ أَيْضاً نَفْسُهُ آمَنَ. وَلَمَّا اعْتَمَدَ كَانَ يُلاَزِمُ فِيلُبُّسَ وَإِذْ رَأَى آيَاتٍ وَقُوَّاتٍ عَظِيمَةً تُجْرَى انْدَهَشَ.
14 Now when the apostles who were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent Peter and John to them,	14 وَلَمَّا سَمِعَ الرُّسُلُ الَّذِينَ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ أَنَّ السَّامِرَةَ قَدْ قَبِلَتْ كَلِمَةَ اللهِ أَرْسَلُوا إِلَيْهِمْ بُطْرُسَ وَيُوحَنَّا
15 who, when they had come down, prayed for them that they might receive the Holy Spirit.	15 اللَّذَيْنِ لَمَّا نَزَلاَ صَلَّيَا لأَجْلِهِمْ لِكَيْ يَقْبَلُوا الرُّوحَ الْقُدُسَ
16 For as yet He had fallen upon none of them. They had only been baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.	16 لأَنَّهُ لَمْ يَكُنْ قَدْ حَلَّ بَعْدُ عَلَى أَحَدٍ مِنْهُمْ - غَيْرَ أَنَّهُمْ كَانُوا مُعْتَمِدِينَ بِاسْمِ الرَّبِّ يَسُوعَ.
17 Then they laid hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit.	17 حِينَئِذٍ وَضَعَا الأَيَادِيَ عَلَيْهِمْ فَقَبِلُوا الرُّوحَ الْقُدُسَ.
18 And when Simon saw that through the laying on of the apostles' hands the Holy Spirit was given, he offered them money,	18 وَلَمَّا رَأَى سِيمُونُ أَنَّهُ بِوَضْعِ أَيْدِي الرُّسُلِ يُعْطَى الرُّوحُ الْقُدُسُ قَدَّمَ لَهُمَا دَرَاهِمَ
19 saying, "Give me this power also, that anyone on whom I lay hands may receive the Holy Spirit."	19 قَائِلاً: «أَعْطِيَانِي أَنَا أَيْضاً هَذَا السُّلْطَانَ حَتَّى أَيُّ مَنْ وَضَعْتُ عَلَيْهِ يَدَيَّ يَقْبَلُ الرُّوحَ الْقُدُسَ».
20 But Peter said to him, "Your money perish with you, because you thought that the gift of God could be purchased with money!	20 فَقَالَ لَهُ بُطْرُسُ: «لِتَكُنْ فِضَّتُكَ مَعَكَ لِلْهَلاَكِ لأَنَّكَ ظَنَنْتَ أَنْ تَقْتَنِيَ مَوْهِبَةَ اللهِ بِدَرَاهِمَ.
21 You have neither part nor portion in this matter, for your heart is not right in the sight of God.	21 لَيْسَ لَكَ نَصِيبٌ وَلاَ قُرْعَةٌ فِي هَذَا الأَمْرِ لأَنَّ قَلْبَكَ لَيْسَ مُسْتَقِيماً أَمَامَ اللهِ.
22 Repent therefore of this your wickedness, and pray God if perhaps the thought of your heart may be forgiven you.	22 فَتُبْ مِنْ شَرِّكَ هَذَا وَاطْلُبْ إِلَى اللهِ عَسَى أَنْ يُغْفَرَ لَكَ فِكْرُ قَلْبِكَ
23 For I see that you are poisoned by bitterness and bound by iniquity."	23 لأَنِّي أَرَاكَ فِي مَرَارَةِ الْمُرِّ وَرِبَاطِ الظُّلْمِ».
24 Then Simon answered and said, "Pray to the Lord for me, that none of the things which you have spoken may come upon me."	24 فَأَجَابَ سِيمُونُ: «اطْلُبَا أَنْتُمَا إِلَى الرَّبِّ مِنْ أَجْلِي لِكَيْ لاَ يَأْتِيَ عَلَيَّ شَيْءٌ مِمَّا ذَكَرْتُمَا».
25 So when they had testified and preached the word of the Lord, they returned to Jerusalem, preaching the gospel in many villages of the Samaritans.	25 ثُمَّ إِنَّهُمَا بَعْدَ مَا شَهِدَا وَتَكَلَّمَا بِكَلِمَةِ الرَّبِّ رَجَعَا إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ وَبَشَّرَا قُرىً كَثِيرَةً لِلسَّامِرِيِّينَ.
26 Now an angel of the Lord spoke to Philip, saying, "Arise and go toward the south along the road which goes down from Jerusalem to Gaza." This is desert.	26 ثُمَّ إِنَّ مَلاَكَ الرَّبِّ قَالَ لِفِيلُبُّسَ: «قُمْ وَاذْهَبْ نَحْوَ الْجَنُوبِ عَلَى الطَّرِيقِ الْمُنْحَدِرَةِ مِنْ أُورُشَلِيمَ إِلَى غَزَّةَ» الَّتِي هِيَ بَرِّيَّةٌ.
27 So he arose and went. And behold, a man of Ethiopia, a eunuch of great authority under Candace the queen of the Ethiopians, who had charge of all her treasury, and had come to Jerusalem to worship,	27 فَقَامَ وَذَهَبَ. وَإِذَا رَجُلٌ حَبَشِيٌّ خَصِيٌّ وَزِيرٌ لِكَنْدَاكَةَ مَلِكَةِ الْحَبَشَةِ كَانَ عَلَى جَمِيعِ خَزَائِنِهَا - فَهَذَا كَانَ قَدْ جَاءَ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ لِيَسْجُدَ.
28 was returning. And sitting in his chariot, he was reading Isaiah the prophet.	28 وَكَانَ رَاجِعاً وَجَالِساً عَلَى مَرْكَبَتِهِ وَهُوَ يَقْرَأُ النَّبِيَّ إِشَعْيَاءَ.
29 Then the Spirit said to Philip, "Go near and overtake this chariot."	29 فَقَالَ الرُّوحُ لِفِيلُبُّسَ: «تَقَدَّمْ وَرَافِقْ هَذِهِ الْمَرْكَبَةَ».
30 So Philip ran to him, and heard him reading the prophet Isaiah, and said, "Do you understand what you are reading?"	30 فَبَادَرَ إِلَيْهِ فِيلُبُّسُ وَسَمِعَهُ يَقْرَأُ النَّبِيَّ إِشَعْيَاءَ فَسَأَلَهُ: «أَلَعَلَّكَ تَفْهَمُ مَا أَنْتَ تَقْرَأُ؟»
31 And he said, "How can I, unless someone guides me?" And he asked Philip to come up and sit with him.	31 فَأَجَابَ: «كَيْفَ يُمْكِنُنِي إِنْ لَمْ يُرْشِدْنِي أَحَدٌ؟». وَطَلَبَ إِلَى فِيلُبُّسَ أَنْ يَصْعَدَ وَيَجْلِسَ مَعَهُ.
32 The place in the Scripture which he read was this: "He was led as a sheep to the slaughter; And as a lamb before its shearer is silent, So He opened not His mouth.	32 وَأَمَّا فَصْلُ الْكِتَابِ الَّذِي كَانَ يَقْرَأُهُ فَكَانَ هَذَا: «مِثْلَ شَاةٍ سِيقَ إِلَى الذَّبْحِ وَمِثْلَ خَرُوفٍ صَامِتٍ أَمَامَ الَّذِي يَجُزُّهُ هَكَذَا لَمْ يَفْتَحْ فَاهُ.
33 In His humiliation His justice was taken away, And who will declare His generation? For His life is taken from the earth."	33 فِي تَوَاضُعِهِ انْتَزَعَ قَضَاؤُهُ وَجِيلُهُ مَنْ يُخْبِرُ بِهِ لأَنَّ حَيَاتَهُ تُنْتَزَعُ مِنَ الأَرْضِ؟»
34 So the eunuch answered Philip and said, "I ask you, of whom does the prophet say this, of himself or of some other man?"	34 فَسَأَلَ الْخَصِيُّ فِيلُبُّسَ: «أَطْلُبُ إِلَيْكَ: عَنْ مَنْ يَقُولُ النَّبِيُّ هَذَا؟ عَنْ نَفْسِهِ أَمْ عَنْ وَاحِدٍ آخَرَ؟»
35 Then Philip opened his mouth, and beginning at this Scripture, preached Jesus to him.	35 فَابْتَدَأَ فِيلُبُّسُ مِنْ هَذَا الْكِتَابِ يُبَشِّرَهُ بِيَسُوعَ.
36 Now as they went down the road, they came to some water. And the eunuch said, "See, here is water. What hinders me from being baptized?"	36 وَفِيمَا هُمَا سَائِرَانِ فِي الطَّرِيقِ أَقْبَلاَ عَلَى مَاءٍ فَقَالَ الْخَصِيُّ: «هُوَذَا مَاءٌ. مَاذَا يَمْنَعُ أَنْ أَعْتَمِدَ؟»
37 Then Philip said, "If you believe with all your heart, you may." And he answered and said, "I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God."	37 فَقَالَ فِيلُبُّسُ: «إِنْ كُنْتَ تُؤْمِنُ مِنْ كُلِّ قَلْبِكَ يَجُوزُ». فَأَجَابَ: «أَنَا أُومِنُ أَنَّ يَسُوعَ الْمَسِيحَ هُوَ ابْنُ اللهِ».
38 So he commanded the chariot to stand still. And both Philip and the eunuch went down into the water, and he baptized him.	38 فَأَمَرَ أَنْ تَقِفَ الْمَرْكَبَةُ فَنَزَلاَ كِلاَهُمَا إِلَى الْمَاءِ فِيلُبُّسُ وَالْخَصِيُّ فَعَمَّدَهُ.
39 Now when they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught Philip away, so that the eunuch saw him no more; and he went on his way rejoicing.	39 وَلَمَّا صَعِدَا مِنَ الْمَاءِ خَطَفَ رُوحُ الرَّبِّ فِيلُبُّسَ فَلَمْ يُبْصِرْهُ الْخَصِيُّ أَيْضاً وَذَهَبَ فِي طَرِيقِهِ فَرِحاً.
40 But Philip was found at Azotus. And passing through, he preached in all the cities till he came to Caesarea.	40 وَأَمَّا فِيلُبُّسُ فَوُجِدَ فِي أَشْدُودَ. وَبَيْنَمَا هُوَ مُجْتَازٌ كَانَ يُبَشِّرُ جَمِيعَ الْمُدُنِ حَتَّى جَاءَ إِلَى قَيْصَرِيَّةَ.
