الكتاب المقدس

اهتداء شاول

1 أَمَّا شَاوُلُ فَكَانَ يَفُورُ بِالتَّهْدِيدِ وَالْقَتْلِ عَلَى تَلامِيذِ الرَّبِّ. فَذَهَبَ إِلَى رَئِيسِ الْكَهَنَةِ، 

2 وَطَلَبَ مِنْهُ رَسَائِلَ إِلَى مَجَامِعِ الْيَهُودِ فِي دِمَشْقَ لِتَسْهِيلِ الْقَبْضِ عَلَى أَتْبَاعِ هَذَا الطَّرِيقِ مِنَ الرِّجَالِ وَالنِّسَاءِ، حَيْثُمَا يَجِدُهُمْ، لِيَسُوقَهُمْ مُقَيَّدِينَ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ. 

3 وَفِيمَا هُوَ مُنْطَلِقٌ إِلَى دِمَشْقَ، وَقَدِ اقْتَرَبَ مِنْهَا، لَمَعَ حَوْلَهُ فَجْأَةً نُورٌ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ، 

4 فَوَقَعَ إِلَى الأَرْضِ وَسَمِعَ صَوْتاً يَقُولُ لَهُ: «شَاوُلُ! شَاوُلُ! لِمَاذَا تَضْطَهِدُنِي؟» 

5 فَسَأَلَ: «مَنْ أَنْتَ يَا سَيِّدُ؟» فَجَاءَهُ الْجَوَابُ: «أَنَا يَسُوعُ الَّذِي أَنْتَ تَضْطَهِدُهُ، صَعْبٌ عَلَيْكَ أَنْ تَرْفُسَ الْمَنَاخِسَ». 

6 فَقَالَ وَهُوَ مُرْتَعِدٌ وَمُتَحَيِّرٌ: «يَا رَبُّ مَاذَا تُرِيدُ أَنْ أَفْعَلَ؟» فَقَالَ لَهُ الرَّبُّ: «قُمْ، وَادْخُلِ الْمَدِينَةَ فَيُقَالَ لَكَ مَا يَجِبُ أَنْ تَفْعَلَهُ». 

7 وَأَمَّا مُرَافِقُو شَاوُلَ فَوَقَفُوا مَذْهُولِينَ لَا يَنْطِقُونَ، فَقَدْ سَمِعُوا الصَّوْتَ وَلَكِنَّهُمْ لَمْ يَرَوْا أَحَداً. 

8 وَعِنْدَمَا نَهَضَ شَاوُلُ عَنِ الأَرْضِ، فَتَحَ عَيْنَيْهِ فَوَجَدَ أَنَّهُ لَا يُبْصِرُ، فَاقْتَادُوهُ بِيَدِهِ وَأَدْخَلُوهُ إِلَى دِمَشْقَ، 

9 حَيْثُ بَقِيَ ثَلاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ لَا يُبْصِرُ وَلا يَأْكُلُ وَلا يَشْرَبُ. 

10 وَكَانَ فِي دِمَشْقَ تِلْمِيذٌ لِلرَّبِّ اسْمُهُ حَنَانِيَّا، نَادَاهُ الرَّبُّ فِي رُؤْيَا: «يَا حَنَانِيَّا!» فَقَالَ: «لَبَّيْكَ يَا رَبُّ!» 

11 فَقَالَ لَهُ الرَّبُّ: «اذْهَبْ إِلَى الشَّارِعِ الْمَعْرُوفِ بِالْمُسْتَقِيمِ وَاسْأَلْ فِي بَيْتِ يَهُوذَا، عَنْ رَجُلٍ مِنْ طَرْسُوسَ اسْمُهُ شَاوُلُ. إِنَّهُ يُصَلِّي هُنَاكَ الآنَ. 

12 وَقَدْ رَأَى فِي رُؤْيَا رَجُلاً اسْمُهُ حَنَانِيَّا يَدْخُلُ إِلَيْهِ وَيَضَعُ يَدَهُ عَلَيْهِ، فَيُبْصِرُ». 

13 فَقَالَ حَنَانِيَّا لِلرَّبِّ: «وَلَكِنِّي، يَا رَبُّ، قَدْ سَمِعْتُ مِنْ كَثِيرِينَ بِالْفَظَائِعِ الَّتِي ارْتَكَبَهَا هَذَا الرَّجُلُ بِقِدِّيسِيكَ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ، 

14 وَقَدْ كَلَّفَهُ رُؤَسَاءُ الْكَهَنَةِ السُّلْطَةَ لِيُلْقِيَ الْقَبْضَ عَلَى كُلِّ مَنْ يَدْعُو بِاسْمِكَ». 

15 فَأَمَرَهُ الرَّبُّ: «اذْهَبْ! فَقَدِ اخْتَرْتُ هَذَا الرَّجُلَ لِيَكُونَ إِنَاءً يَحْمِلُ اسْمِي إِلَى الأُمَمِ وَالْمُلُوكِ وَبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ. 

16 وَسَأُرِيهِ كَمْ يَنْبَغِي أَنْ يَتَأَلَّمَ مِنْ أَجْلِ اسْمِي!» 

17 فَذَهَبَ حَنَانِيَّا وَدَخَلَ بَيْتَ يَهُوذَا، وَوَضَعَ يَدَيْهِ عَلَى شَاوُلَ وَقَالَ: «أَيُّهَا الأَخُ شَاوُلُ، إِنَّ الرَّبَّ يَسُوعَ، الَّذِي ظَهَرَ لَكَ فِي الطَّرِيقِ الَّتِي جِئْتَ فِيهَا، أَرْسَلَنِي إِلَيْكَ لِكَيْ تُبْصِرَ وَتَمْتَلِئَ مِنَ الرُّوحِ الْقُدُسِ». 

18 وَفِي الْحَالِ تَسَاقَطَ مِنْ عَيْنَيْ شَاوُلَ مَا يُشْبِهُ الْقُشُورَ، فَأَبْصَرَ، ثُمَّ قَامَ وَتَعَمَّدَ. 

19 وَتَنَاوَلَ طَعَاماً فَاسْتَعَادَ قُوَّتَهُ وَبَقِيَ بِضْعَةَ أَيَّامٍ مَعَ التَّلامِيذِ فِي دِمَشْقَ. 

شاول في دمشق وأورشليم

20 وَفِي الْحَالِ بَدَأَ يُبَشِّرُ فِي الْمَجَامِعِ بِأَنَّ يَسُوعَ هُوَ ابْنُ اللهِ. 

21 وَأَثَارَ كَلامُهُ دَهْشَةَ السَّامِعِينَ، فَتَسَاءَلُوا: «أَلَيْسَ هَذَا هُوَ الَّذِي كَانَ يُبِيدُ جَمِيعَ الدَّاعِينَ بِهَذَا الاِسْمِ فِي أُورُشَليمَ؟ أَمَا جَاءَ إِلَى هُنَا لِيُلْقِيَ الْقَبْضَ عَلَيْهِمْ وَيَسُوقَهُمْ مُقَيَّدِينَ إِلَى رُؤَسَاءِ الْكَهَنَةِ؟» 

22 وَأَمَّا شَاوُلُ فَقَدْ صَارَ أَكْثَرَ حَمَاسَةً فِي وَعْظِهِ، فَكَانَ يُفْحِمُ الْيَهُودَ السَّاكِنِينَ فِي دِمَشْقَ بِبَرَاهِينِهِ الَّتيِ كَانَ يُبَيِّنُ بِها أَنَّ يَسُوعَ هُوَ الْمَسِيحُ. 

23 وَبَعْدَ عِدَّةِ أَيَّامٍ، حَاكَ الْيَهُودُ فِي دِمَشْقَ مُؤَامَرَةً لِقَتْلِ شَاوُلَ، 

24 فَعَلِمَ بِها. وَكَانُوا يُرَاقِبُونَ أَبْوَابَ الْمَدِينَةِ نَهَاراً وَلَيْلاً لِيَقْتُلُوهُ وَهُوَ يَخْرُجُ مِنْهَا. 

25 فَأَخَذَهُ بَعْضُ التَّلامِيذِ لَيْلاً وَوَضَعُوهُ فِي سَلٍّ، وَأَنْزَلُوهُ بِالْحِبَالِ مِنْ عَلَى سُورِ الْمَدِينَةِ. 

26 وَلَمَّا وَصَلَ شَاوُلُ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ، حَاوَلَ أَنْ يَنْضَمَّ إِلَى التَّلامِيذِ هُنَاكَ، فَخَافُوا مِنْهُ، إِذْ لَمْ يُصَدِّقُوا أَنَّهُ صَارَ تِلْمِيذاً لِلرَّبِّ. 

27 فَتَوَلَّى بَرْنَابَا أَمْرَهُ وَأَحْضَرَهُ إِلَى الرُّسُلِ، وَحَدَّثَهُمْ كَيْفَ ظَهَرَ الرَّبُّ لَهُ فِي الطَّرِيقِ وَكَلَّمَهُ، وَكَيْفَ بَشَّرَ بِجُرْأَةٍ بِاسْمِ يَسُوعَ فِي دِمَشْقَ. 

28 فَأَخَذَ يَذْهَبُ وَيَجِيءُ مَعَهُمْ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ، مُبَشِّراً بِاسْمِ الرَّبِّ بِجُرْأَةٍ. 

29 وَكَانَ يُخَاطِبُ الْيَهُودَ الْيُونَانِيِّينَ وَيُجَادِلُهُمْ، فَحَاوَلُوا أَنْ يَقْتُلُوهُ. 

30 فَلَمَّا عَلِمَ الإِخْوَةُ بِذَلِكَ أَنْزَلُوهُ إِلَى مِينَاءِ قَيْصَرِيَّةَ. وَمِنْ هُنَاكَ أَرْسَلُوهُ إِلَى طَرْسُوسَ. 

31 فِي أَثْنَاءِ ذَلِكَ كَانَتِ الْكَنِيسَةُ فِي مَنَاطِقِ الْيَهُودِيَّةِ وَالْجَلِيلِ وَالسَّامِرَةِ تَتَمَتَّعُ بِالسَّلامِ. وَكَانَتْ تَنْمُو وَتَسِيرُ فِي تَقْوَى الرَّبِّ، بِمُسَانَدَةِ الرُّوحِ الْقُدُسِ. 

إينياس وطابيثا

32 وَبَيْنَمَا كَانَ بُطْرُسُ يَنْتَقِلُ مِنْ مَكَانٍ إِلَى مَكَانٍ، زَارَ السَّاكِنِينَ فِي مَدِينَةِ لُدَّةَ، 

33 وَوَجَدَ هُنَاكَ مَشْلُولاً اسْمُهُ إِينِيَاسُ، مَضَتْ عَلَيْهِ ثَمَانِي سَنَوَاتٍ وَهُوَ طَرِيحُ الْفِرَاشِ. 

34 فَقَالَ لَهُ: «يَا إِينِيَاسُ، شَفَاكَ يَسُوعُ الْمَسِيحُ. قُمْ وَرَتِّبْ سَرِيرَكَ بِنَفْسِكَ!» فَقَامَ فِي الْحَالِ. 

35 وَرَآهُ سُكَّانُ لُدَّةَ وَشَارُونَ جَمِيعاً، فَرَجَعُوا إِلَى الرَّبِّ. 

36 وَكَانَ فِي مَدِينَةِ يَافَا تِلْمِيذَةٌ اسْمُهَا طَابِيثَا، وَمَعْنَى اسْمِهَا: غَزَالَةُ، كَانَ يَشْغَلُهَا دَائِماً فِعْلُ الْخَيْرِ وَمُسَاعَدَةُ الْفُقَرَاءِ. 

37 وَحَدَثَ فِي ذَلِكَ الْوَقْتِ أَنَّهَا مَرِضَتْ وَمَاتَتْ، فَغَسَّلُوهَا وَوَضَعُوهَا فِي غُرْفَةٍ بِالطَّبَقَةِ الْعُلْيَا. 

38 وَسَمِعَ التَّلامِيذُ فِي يَافَا أَنَّ بُطْرُسَ فِي لُدَّةَ. وَإِذْ كَانَتْ يَافَا قَرِيبَةً مِنْ لُدَّةَ، أَرْسَلُوا إِلَيْهِ رَجُلَيْنِ يَطْلُبَانِ إِلَيْهِ قَائِلَيْنِ: «تَعَالَ إِلَيْنَا وَلا تَتَأَخَّرْ!» 

39 فَقَامَ وَذَهَبَ. وَلَمَّا وَصَلَ قَادُوهُ إِلَى الطَّبَقَةِ الْعُلْيَا، فَتَقَدَّمَتْ إِلَيْهِ جَمِيعُ الأَرَامِلِ بَاكِيَاتٍ، يَعْرِضْنَ بَعْضَ الأَقْمِصَةِ وَالثِّيَابِ مِمَّا كَانَتْ غَزَالَةُ تَخِيطُهُ وَهِيَ مَعَهُنَّ. 

40 فَطَلَبَ بُطْرُسُ إِلَى جَمِيعِ الْحَاضِرِينَ أَنْ يَخْرُجُوا مِنَ الْغُرْفَةِ، وَرَكَعَ وَصَلَّى، ثُمَّ الْتَفَتَ إِلَى الْجُثَّةِ وَقَالَ: «يَا طَابِيثَا، قُومِي!» فَفَتَحَتْ عَيْنَيْهَا. وَلَمَّا رَأَتْ بُطْرُسَ جَلَسَتْ، 

41 فَمَدَّ يَدَهُ إِلَيْهَا وَسَاعَدَهَا عَلَى النُّهُوضِ، ثُمَّ دَعَا الْقِدِّيسِينَ وَالأَرَامِلَ، وَرَدَّهَا إِلَيْهِمْ حَيَّةً. 

42 وَانْتَشَرَ خَبَرُ هَذِهِ الْمُعْجِزَةِ فِي يَافَا كُلِّهَا، فَآمَنَ بِالرَّبِّ كَثِيرُونَ. 

43 وَبَقِيَ بُطْرُسُ فِي يَافَا عِدَّةَ أَيَّامٍ عِنْدَ دَبَّاغٍ اسْمُهُ سِمْعَانُ.

أعمال الرسل 9

English Standard Version

The Conversion of Saul

1 But Saul, still breathing threats and murder against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest (مز 27:12; أع 8:3; أع 9:13; أع 9:21; أع 22:5; أع 26:10) 

2 and asked him for letters to the synagogues at Damascus, so that if he found any belonging to the Way, men or women, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem. (إش 30:21; إش 35:8; عا 8:14; لو 12:11; لو 21:12; أع 16:17; أع 18:25; أع 19:9; أع 19:23; أع 22:4; أع 22:19; أع 24:14; أع 24:22) 

3 Now as he went on his way, he approached Damascus, and suddenly a light from heaven shone around him. (أع 22:6; أع 26:12; 1كو 15:8) 

4 And falling to the ground, he heard a voice saying to him, “Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me?” (إش 63:9; زك 2:8) 

5 And he said, “Who are you, Lord?” And he said, “I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting. (أع 9:4) 

6 But rise and enter the city, and you will be told what you are to do.” (حز 3:22; أع 9:16; 1كو 9:16; غل 1:1) 

7 The men who were traveling with him stood speechless, hearing the voice but seeing no one. (دا 10:7; يو 12:29; أع 22:9) 

8 Saul rose from the ground, and although his eyes were opened, he saw nothing. So they led him by the hand and brought him into Damascus. (أع 22:11) 

9 And for three days he was without sight, and neither ate nor drank. 

10 Now there was a disciple at Damascus named Ananias. The Lord said to him in a vision, “Ananias.” And he said, “Here I am, Lord.” (تك 22:1; إش 6:8; أع 22:12) 

11 And the Lord said to him, “Rise and go to the street called Straight, and at the house of Judas look for a man of Tarsus named Saul, for behold, he is praying, (أع 21:39; أع 22:3) 

12 and he has seen in a vision a man named Ananias come in and lay his hands on him so that he might regain his sight.” (مر 5:23; أع 9:17) 

13 But Ananias answered, “Lord, I have heard from many about this man, how much evil he has done to your saints at Jerusalem. (أع 9:1; رو 15:25; رو 15:31; 1تس 3:13; 2تس 1:10) 

14 And here he has authority from the chief priests to bind all who call on your name.” (أع 7:59; أع 9:21; أع 22:16; رو 10:13; 1كو 1:2; 2تي 2:22) 

15 But the Lord said to him, “Go, for he is a chosen instrument of mine to carry my name before the Gentiles and kings and the children of Israel. (أع 13:2; أع 25:22; أع 26:1; أع 26:32; رو 1:1; رو 1:5; رو 11:13; رو 15:16; غل 1:15; غل 1:16; غل 2:2; غل 2:7; أف 3:7; 1تي 2:7; 2تي 4:16; 2تي 4:17) 

16 For I will show him how much he must suffer for the sake of my name.” (أع 5:41; أع 9:6; أع 14:22; أع 20:23; أع 21:4; أع 21:11; 2كو 6:4; 2كو 11:23; 1تس 3:3) 

17 So Ananias departed and entered the house. And laying his hands on him he said, “Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus who appeared to you on the road by which you came has sent me so that you may regain your sight and be filled with the Holy Spirit.” (أع 2:4; أع 9:12; أع 22:12) 

18 And immediately something like scales fell from his eyes, and he regained his sight. Then he rose and was baptized; (أع 22:13; أع 22:16) 

Saul Proclaims Jesus in Synagogues

19 and taking food, he was strengthened. For some days he was with the disciples at Damascus. (أع 9:9; أع 26:20) 

20 And immediately he proclaimed Jesus in the synagogues, saying, “He is the Son of God.” (أع 9:22) 

21 And all who heard him were amazed and said, “Is not this the man who made havoc in Jerusalem of those who called upon this name? And has he not come here for this purpose, to bring them bound before the chief priests?” (أع 9:13; غل 1:13; غل 1:23) 

22 But Saul increased all the more in strength, and confounded the Jews who lived in Damascus by proving that Jesus was the Christ. (أع 9:20; أع 18:28; 1تي 1:12) 

Saul Escapes from Damascus

23 When many days had passed, the Jews plotted to kill him, (غل 1:17) 

24 but their plot became known to Saul. They were watching the gates day and night in order to kill him, (أع 20:3; أع 20:19; أع 23:12; أع 23:30; أع 25:3; 2كو 11:32) 

25 but his disciples took him by night and let him down through an opening in the wall, lowering him in a basket. (يش 2:15; 1صم 19:12; 2كو 11:33) 

Saul in Jerusalem

26 And when he had come to Jerusalem, he attempted to join the disciples. And they were all afraid of him, for they did not believe that he was a disciple. (أع 22:17; أع 26:20) 

27 But Barnabas took him and brought him to the apostles and declared to them how on the road he had seen the Lord, who spoke to him, and how at Damascus he had preached boldly in the name of Jesus. (أع 4:29; أع 4:36; أع 9:3; أع 9:19; أع 9:22; غل 1:18) 

28 So he went in and out among them at Jerusalem, preaching boldly in the name of the Lord. (أع 1:21) 

29 And he spoke and disputed against the Hellenists. But they were seeking to kill him. (أع 6:1; أع 22:18) 

30 And when the brothers learned this, they brought him down to Caesarea and sent him off to Tarsus. (يو 21:23; أع 11:25; غل 1:21) 

31 So the church throughout all Judea and Galilee and Samaria had peace and was being built up. And walking in the fear of the Lord and in the comfort of the Holy Spirit, it multiplied. (نح 5:9; أع 8:1; أع 9:35; أع 9:42; أع 16:5) 

The Healing of Aeneas

32 Now as Peter went here and there among them all, he came down also to the saints who lived at Lydda. (أع 8:25) 

33 There he found a man named Aeneas, bedridden for eight years, who was paralyzed. 

34 And Peter said to him, “Aeneas, Jesus Christ heals you; rise and make your bed.” And immediately he rose. (أع 3:6) 

35 And all the residents of Lydda and Sharon saw him, and they turned to the Lord. (1أخ 5:16; 1أخ 27:29; نش 2:1; أع 9:31; أع 9:42; أع 11:21; 2كو 3:16) 

Dorcas Restored to Life

36 Now there was in Joppa a disciple named Tabitha, which, translated, means Dorcas. She was full of good works and acts of charity. (يش 19:46; 1تي 2:10) 

37 In those days she became ill and died, and when they had washed her, they laid her in an upper room. (أع 1:13; أع 9:39; أع 20:8) 

38 Since Lydda was near Joppa, the disciples, hearing that Peter was there, sent two men to him, urging him, “Please come to us without delay.” (عد 22:16) 

39 So Peter rose and went with them. And when he arrived, they took him to the upper room. All the widows stood beside him weeping and showing tunics and other garments that Dorcas made while she was with them. (أع 9:37) 

40 But Peter put them all outside, and knelt down and prayed; and turning to the body he said, “Tabitha, arise.” And she opened her eyes, and when she saw Peter she sat up. (مت 9:25; مر 5:41; يو 11:43; أع 7:60) 

41 And he gave her his hand and raised her up. Then, calling the saints and widows, he presented her alive. 

42 And it became known throughout all Joppa, and many believed in the Lord. (يو 11:45; يو 12:11) 

43 And he stayed in Joppa for many days with one Simon, a tanner. (أع 10:6)
