Acts 2

1 When the day of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place.

1 وَلَمَّا جَاءَ الْيَوْمُ الْخَمْسُونَ، كَانَ الإِخْوَةُ مُجْتَمِعِينَ مَعاً فِي مَكَانٍ وَاحِدٍ،

2 Suddenly a sound like a mighty rushing wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting.

2 وَفَجْأَةً حَدَثَ صَوْتٌ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ كَأَنَّهُ دَوِيُّ رِيحٍ عَاصِفَةٍ، فَمَلأَ الْبَيْتَ الَّذِي كَانُوا جَالِسِينَ فِيهِ.

3 They saw tongues like flames of fire that separated and came to rest on each of them.

3 ثُمَّ ظَهَرَتْ لَهُمْ أَلْسِنَةٌ كَأَنَّهَا مِنْ نَارٍ، وَقَدْ تَوَزَّعَتْ وَحَلَّتْ عَلَى كُلِّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمْ،

4 And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit enabled them.

4 فَامْتَلأُوا جَمِيعاً مِنَ الرُّوحِ الْقُدُسِ، وَأَخَذُوا يَتَكَلَّمُونَ بِلُغَاتٍ أُخْرَى، مِثْلَمَا مَنَحَهُمُ الرُّوحُ أَنْ يَنْطِقُوا.

5 Now there were dwelling in Jerusalem God-fearing Jews from every nation under heaven.

5 وَكَانَتْ أُورُشَلِيمُ فِي ذلِكَ الْوَقْتِ مُزْدَحِمَةً بِالْيَهُودِ الأَتْقِيَاءِ الَّذِينَ جَاءُوا إِلَيْهَا مِنْ أُمَمِ الْعَالَمِ كُلِّهَا.

6 And when this sound rang out, a crowd came together in bewilderment, because each one heard them speaking his own language.

6 فَلَمَّا دَوَّى الصَّوْتُ، تَوَافَدَتْ إِلَيْهِمِ الْجُمُوعُ، وَقَدْ أَخَذَتْهُمُ الْحَيْرَةُ لأَنَّ كُلَّ وَاحِدٍ كَانَ يَسْمَعُهُمْ يَتَكَلَّمُونَ بِلُغَتِهِ.

7 Astounded and amazed, they asked, “Are not all these who are speaking Galileans?

7 وَاسْتَوْلَتِ الدَّهْشَةُ عَلَيْهِمْ. فَأَخَذُوا يَتَسَاءَلُونَ: «أَلَيْسَ هَؤُلاءِ الْمُتَكَلِّمُونَ جَمِيعاً مِنْ أَهْلِ الْجَلِيلِ؟

8 How is it then that each of us hears them in his own native language?

8 فَكَيْفَ يَسْمَعُ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مِنَّا لُغَةَ الْبَلَدِ الَّذِي وُلِدَ فِيهِ؟

9 Parthians, Medes, and Elamites; residents of Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia,

9 فَبَعْضُنَا فَرْتِيُّونَ، وَمَادِيُّونَ، وَعِيلامِيُّونَ. وَبَعْضُنَا مِنْ سُكَّانِ مَا بَيْنَ النَّهْرَيْنِ وَالْيَهُودِيَّةِ، وَكَبَّدُوكِيَّةَ، وَبُنْتُسَ، وَأَسِيَّا،

10 Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya near Cyrene; visitors from Rome,

10 وَفَرِيجِيَّةَ، وَبَمْفِيلِيَّةَ، وَمِصْرَ، وَنَوَاحِي لِيبِيَّا الْمُواجِهَةِ لِلقَيْرَوَانِ. وَبَيْنَنَا كَثِيرُونَ مِنَ الرُّومَانِيِّينَ الزَّائِرِينَ،

11 both Jews and converts to Judaism; Cretans and Arabs—we hear them declaring the wonders of God in our own tongues!”

11 يَهُوداً وَمُتَهَوِّدِينَ، وَبَعْضُ الْكَرِيتِيِّينَ وَالْعَرَبِ. وَهَا نَحْنُ نَسْمَعُهُمْ يُكَلِّمُونَنَا بِلُغَاتِنَا عَنْ أَعْمَالِ اللهِ الْعَظِيمَةِ».

12 Astounded and perplexed, they asked one another, “What does this mean?”

12 وَأَخَذَ الْجَمِيعُ يَسْأَلُونَ بَعْضُهُمْ بَعْضاً فِي دَهْشَةٍ وَحَيْرَةٍ: «مَا مَعْنَى هَذَا كُلِّهِ؟»

13 But others mocked them and said, “They are drunk on new wine!”

13 أَمَّا بَعْضُهُمْ فَقَالُوا سَاخِرِينَ: «مَا هُمْ إِلّا سُكَارَى!»

14 Then Peter stood up with the Eleven, lifted up his voice, and addressed the crowd: “Men of Judea and all who dwell in Jerusalem, let this be known to you, and listen carefully to my words.

14 فَوَقَفَ بُطْرُسُ مَعَ الرُّسُلِ الأَحَدَ عَشَرَ، وَخَاطَبَ الْحَاضِرِينَ بِصَوْتٍ عَالٍ، وَقَالَ: «أَيُّهَا الْيَهُودُ، وَيَا جَمِيعَ الْمُقِيمِينَ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ! أَصْغُوا إِلَى كَلامِي لِتَعْلَمُوا حَقِيقَةَ الأَمْرِ!

15 These men are not drunk, as you suppose. It is only the third hour of the day!

15 لَيْسَ هؤُلاءِ سَكَارَى كَمَا تَتَوَهَّمُونَ، فَالنَّاسُ لَا يَسْكَرُونَ فِي السَّاعَةِ التَّاسِعَةِ صَبَاحاً.

16 No, this is what was spoken by the prophet Joel:

16 وَلَكِنْ هَذَا مَا قِيلَ بِلِسَانِ النَّبِيِّ يُوئِيلَ:

17 ‘In the last days, God says, I will pour out My Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams.

17 يَقُولُ اللهُ: فِي الأَيَّامِ الأَخِيرَةِ سَأَسْكُبُ رُوحِي عَلَى جَمِيعِ الْبَشَرِ، فَيَتَنَبَّأُ بَنُوكُمْ وَبَنَاتُكُمْ، وَيَرَى شَبَابُكُمْ رُؤىً، وَيَحْلُمُ شُيُوخُكُمْ أَحْلاماً.

18 Even on My menservants and maidservants I will pour out My Spirit in those days, and they will prophesy.

18 فِي تِلْكَ الأَيَّامِ أُفِيضُ مِنْ رُوحِي عَلَى عَبِيدِي كُلِّهِمْ، رِجَالاً وَنِسَاءً، فَيَتَنَبَّأُونَ.

19 I will show wonders in the heavens above and signs on the earth below, blood and fire and billows of smoke.

19 سَأُجْرِي عَجَائِبَ فَوْقُ فِي السَّمَاءِ وَعَلامَاتٍ تَحْتُ عَلَى الأَرْضِ، حَيْثُ يَكُونُ دَمٌ وَنَارٌ وَدُخَانٌ كَثِيفٌ!

20 The sun will be turned to darkness, and the moon to blood, before the coming of the great and glorious Day of the Lord.

20 وَقَبْلَ أَنْ يَأْتِيَ يَوْمُ الرَّبِّ، ذلِكَ الْيَوْمُ الْعَظِيمُ الشَّهِيرُ، سَتُظْلِمُ الشَّمْسُ، وَيَتَحَوَّلُ الْقَمَرُ إِلَى لَوْنِ الدَّمِ.

21 And everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.’

21 وَلَكِنَّ كُلَّ مَنْ يَدْعُو بِاسْمِ الرَّبِّ يَخْلُصُ!

22 Men of Israel, listen to this message: Jesus of Nazareth was a man certified by God to you by miracles, wonders, and signs, which God did among you through Him, as you yourselves know.

22 فَيَا بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، اسْمَعُوا هَذَا الْكَلامَ: إِنَّ يَسُوعَ النَّاصِرِيَّ رَجُلٌ أَيَّدَهُ اللهُ بِمُعْجِزَاتٍ وَعَجَائِبَ وَعَلامَاتٍ أَجْرَاهَا عَلَى يَدِهِ بَيْنَكُمْ، كَمَا تَعْلَمُونَ.

23 He was delivered up by God’s set plan and foreknowledge, and you, by the hands of the lawless, put Him to death by nailing Him to the cross.

23 وَمَعَ ذَلِكَ فَقَدْ سَمَحَ اللهُ، وَفْقاً لِمَشِيئَتِهِ الْمَحْتُومَةِ وَعِلْمِهِ السَّابِقِ، أَنْ تَقْبِضُوا عَلَيْهِ وَتَصْلُبُوهُ وَتَقْتُلُوهُ بِأَيْدِي الأَثَمَةِ.

24 But God raised Him from the dead, releasing Him from the agony of death, because it was impossible for death to keep Him in its grip.

24 وَلكِنَّ اللهَ أَقَامَهُ مِنْ بَيْنِ الأَمْوَاتِ نَاقِضاً أَوْجَاعَ المَوْتِ، فَمَا كَانَ يُمْكِنُ لِلْمَوْتِ أَنْ يُبْقِيَهُ فِي قَبْضَتِهِ!

25 David says about Him: ‘I saw the Lord always before me; because He is at my right hand, I will not be shaken.

25 فَإِنَّ دَاوُدَ يَقُولُ فِيهِ: كُنْتُ أَرَى الرَّبَّ أَمَامِي دَائِماً فَإِنَّهُ عَنْ يَمِينِي لِئَلّا أَتَزَعْزَعَ.

26 Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices; my body also will dwell in hope,

26 لِذَلِكَ فَرِحَ قَلْبِي وَتَهَلَّلَ لِسَانِي. حَتَّى إِنَّ جَسَدِي سَيَرْقُدُ عَلَى رَجَاءٍ.

27 because You will not abandon my soul to Hades, nor will You let Your Holy One see decay.

27 لأَنَّكَ لَنْ تَتْرُكَ نَفْسِي فِي هُوَّةِ الأَمْوَاتِ، وَلَنْ تَدَعَ وَحِيدَكَ الْقُدُّوسَ يَرَى فَسَاداً،

28 You have made known to me the paths of life; You will fill me with joy in Your presence.’

28 هَدَيْتَنِي سُبُلَ الْحَيَاةِ، وَسَتَمْلأُنِي سُرُوراً بِرُؤْيَةِ وَجْهِكَ!

29 Brothers, I can tell you with confidence that the patriarch David died and was buried, and his tomb is with us to this day.

29 أَيُّهَا الإِخْوَةُ، دَعُونِي أَقُولُ لَكُمْ صَرَاحَةً إِنَّ أَبَانَا دَاوُدَ مَاتَ وَدُفِنَ، وَقَبْرُهُ مَازَالَ عِنْدَنَا حَتَّى الْيَوْمِ.

30 But he was a prophet and knew that God had promised him on oath that He would place one of his descendants on his throne.

30 لأَنَّ دَاوُدَ كَانَ نَبِيًّا، وَعَارِفاً أَنَّ اللهَ أَقْسَمَ لَهُ يَمِيناً بِأَنْ يَجِيءَ الْمَسِيحُ مِنْ نَسْلِهِ وَيَجْلِسَ عَلَى عَرْشِهِ،

31 Foreseeing this, David spoke about the resurrection of the Christ, that He was not abandoned to Hades, nor did His body see decay.

31 فَقَدْ تَكَلَّمَ عَنْ قِيَامَةِ الْمَسِيحِ كَمَا رَآهَا مُسْبَقاً، فَقَالَ إِنَّ نَفْسَهُ لَمْ تُتْرَكْ فِي هُوَّةِ الأَمْوَاتِ، وَلَمْ يَنَلْ مِنْ جَسَدِهِ الْفَسَادُ.

32 God has raised this Jesus to life, to which we are all witnesses.

32 فَيَسُوعُ هَذَا أَقَامَهُ اللهُ مِنَ الْمَوْتِ، وَنَحْنُ جَمِيعاً شُهُودٌ لِذَلِكَ.

33 Exalted, then, to the right hand of God, He has received from the Father the promised Holy Spirit and has poured out what you now see and hear.

33 وَإِذْ رُفِعَ إِلَى يَمِينِ اللهِ، وَأَخَذَ مِنَ الآبِ الرُّوحَ الْقُدُسَ الْمَوْعُودَ بِهِ، أَفَاضَهُ عَلَيْنَا. وَمَا تَرَوْنَهُ الآنَ وَتَسْمَعُونَهُ هُوَ نَتِيجَةٌ لِذَلِكَ.

34 For David did not ascend into heaven, but he himself says: ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at My right hand

34 فَإِنَّ دَاوُدَ لَمْ يَرْتَفِعْ بِجَسَدِهِ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ. ثُمَّ إِنَّهُ هُوَ نَفْسَهُ يَقُولُ: قَالَ الرَّبُّ لِرَبِّي: اجْلِسْ عَنْ يَمِينِي

35 until I make Your enemies a footstool for Your feet.”’

35 حَتَّى أَجْعَلَ أَعْدَاءَكَ مَوْطِئاً لِقَدَمَيْكَ.

36 Therefore let all Israel know with certainty that God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Christ!”

36 فَلْيَعْلَمْ يَقِيناً بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ جَمِيعاً، أَنَّ اللهَ قَدْ جَعَلَ يَسُوعَ، هَذَا الَّذِي صَلَبْتُمُوهُ أَنْتُمْ، رَبّاً وَمَسِيحاً!»

37 When the people heard this, they were cut to the heart and asked Peter and the other apostles, “Brothers, what shall we do?”

37 فَلَمَّا سَمِعَ الْحَاضِرُونَ هَذَا الْكَلامَ، وَخَزَتْهُمْ قُلُوبُهُمْ، فَسَأَلُوا بُطْرُسَ وَبَاقِي الرُّسُلِ: «مَاذَا نَعْمَلُ أَيُّهَا الإِخْوَةُ؟»

38 Peter replied, “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

38 أَجَابَهُمْ بُطْرُسُ: «تُوبُوا، وَلْيَتَعَمَّدْ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْكُمْ بِاسْمِ يَسُوعَ الْمَسِيحِ، فَيَغْفِرَ اللهُ خَطَايَاكُمْ وَتَنَالُوا هِبَةَ الرُّوحِ الْقُدُسِ،

39 This promise belongs to you and your children and to all who are far off—to all whom the Lord our God will call to Himself.”

39 لأَنَّ الْوَعْدَ هُوَ لَكُمْ وَلأَوْلادِكُمْ وَلِلْبَعِيدِينَ جَمِيعاً، يَنَالُهُ كُلُّ مَنْ يَدْعُوهُ الرَّبُّ إِلهُنَا!»

40 With many other words he testified, and he urged them, “Be saved from this corrupt generation.”

40 ثُمَّ شَهِدَ بُطْرُسُ لِلْحَاضِرِينَ وَوَعَظَهُمْ بِكَلامٍ كَثِيرٍ آخَرَ، قَائِلاً: «اخْلُصُوا مِنْ هَذَا الْجِيلِ الْمُنْحَرِفِ!»

41 Those who embraced his message were baptized, and about three thousand were added to the believers that day.

41 فَالَّذِينَ قَبِلُوا كَلامَهُ مِنْهُمْ تَعَمَّدُوا. وَانْضَمَّ فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ نَحْوُ ثَلاثَةِ آلافِ نَفْسٍ.

42 They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer.

42 وَكَانَ الْجَمِيعُ يُدَاوِمُونَ عَلَى تَلَقِّي تَعْلِيمِ الرُّسُلِ، وَعَلَى حَيَاةِ الشَّرِكَةِ، وَكَسْرِ الْخُبْزِ، وَالصَّلَوَاتِ.

43 A sense of awe came over everyone, and the apostles performed many wonders and signs.

43 وَلَمَّا أُجْرِيَتْ عَجَائِبُ وَعَلامَاتٌ كَثِيرَةٌ عَلَى أَيْدِي الرُّسُلِ، اسْتَوْلَتِ الرَّهْبَةُ عَلَى كُلِّ نَفْسٍ.

44 All the believers were together and had everything in common.

44 وَكَانَ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ كُلُّهُمْ مُتَّحِدِينَ مَعاً، فَكَانُوا يَتَشَارَكُونَ فِي كُلِّ مَا يَمْلِكُونَ،

45 Selling their possessions and goods, they shared with anyone who was in need.

45 وَيَبِيعُونَ أَمْلاكَهُمْ وَمُقْتَنَيَاتِهِمْ وَيَتَقَاسَمُونَ الثَّمَنَ عَلَى قَدْرِ احْتِيَاجِ كُلٍّ مِنْهُمْ،

46 With one accord they continued to meet daily in the temple courts and to break bread from house to house, sharing their meals with gladness and sincerity of heart,

46 وَيُدَاوِمُونَ عَلَى الْحُضُورِ إِلَى الْهَيْكَلِ يَوْمِيًّا بِقَلْبٍ وَاحِدٍ، وَيَكْسِرُونَ الْخُبْزَ فِي الْبُيُوتِ، وَيَتَنَاوَلُونَ الطَّعَامَ مَعاً بِابْتِهَاجٍ وَبَسَاطَةِ قَلْبٍ،

47 praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved.

47 مُسَبِّحِينَ اللهَ، وَكَانُوا يُلاقُونَ اسْتِحْسَاناً لَدَى الشَّعْبِ كُلِّهِ. وَكَانَ الرَّبُّ، كُلَّ يَوْمٍ، يَضُمُّ إِلَى الْكَنِيسَةِ الَّذِينَ يَخْلُصُونَ.
