Acts 2

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

1 وَلَمَّا حَضَرَ يَوْمُ ٱلْخَمْسِينَ كَانَ ٱلْجَمِيعُ مَعًا بِنَفْسٍ وَاحِدَةٍ،

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

2 وَصَارَ بَغْتَةً مِنَ ٱلسَّمَاءِ صَوْتٌ كَمَا مِنْ هُبُوبِ رِيحٍ عَاصِفَةٍ وَمَلَأَ كُلَّ ٱلْبَيْتِ حَيْثُ كَانُوا جَالِسِينَ،

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

3 وَظَهَرَتْ لَهُمْ أَلْسِنَةٌ مُنْقَسِمَةٌ كَأَنَّهَا مِنْ نَارٍ وَٱسْتَقَرَّتْ 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 وَٱمْتَلَأَ ٱلْجَمِيعُ مِنَ ٱلرُّوحِ ٱلْقُدُسِ، وَٱبْتَدَأُوا يَتَكَلَّمُونَ بِأَلْسِنَةٍ أُخْرَى كَمَا أَعْطَاهُمُ ٱلرُّوحُ أَنْ يَنْطِقُوا.

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

5 وَكَانَ يَهُودٌ رِجَالٌ أَتْقِيَاءُ مِنْ كُلِّ أُمَّةٍ تَحْتَ ٱلسَّمَاءِ سَاكِنِينَ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ.

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

6 فَلَمَّا صَارَ هَذَا ٱلصَّوْتُ، ٱجْتَمَعَ ٱلْجُمْهُورُ وَتَحَيَّرُوا، لِأَنَّ كُلَّ وَاحِدٍ كَانَ يَسْمَعُهُمْ يَتَكَلَّمُونَ بِلُغَتِهِ.

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

7 فَبُهِتَ ٱلْجَمِيعُ وَتَعَجَّبُوا قَائِلِينَ بَعْضُهُمْ لِبَعْضٍ: «أَتُرَى لَيْسَ جَمِيعُ هَؤُلَاءِ ٱلْمُتَكَلِّمِينَ جَلِيلِيِّينَ؟

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

8 فَكَيْفَ نَسْمَعُ نَحْنُ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مِنَّا لُغَتَهُ ٱلَّتِي وُلِدَ فِيهَا؟

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

9 فَرْتِيُّونَ وَمَادِيُّونَ وَعِيلَامِيُّونَ، وَٱلسَّاكِنُونَ مَا بَيْنَ ٱلنَّهْرَيْنِ، وَٱلْيَهُودِيَّةَ وَكَبَّدُوكِيَّةَ وَبُنْتُسَ وَأَسِيَّا

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

10 وَفَرِيجِيَّةَ وَبَمْفِيلِيَّةَ وَمِصْرَ، وَنَوَاحِيَ لِيبِيَّةَ ٱلَّتِي نَحْوَ ٱلْقَيْرَوَانِ، وَٱلرُّومَانِيُّونَ ٱلْمُسْتَوْطِنُونَ يَهُودٌ وَدُخَلَاءُ،

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

11 كِرِيتِيُّونَ وَعَرَبٌ، نَسْمَعُهُمْ يَتَكَلَّمُونَ بِأَلْسِنَتِنَا بِعَظَائِمِ ٱللهِ!».

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

12 فَتَحَيَّرَ ٱلْجَمِيعُ وَٱرْتَابُوا قَائِلِينَ بَعْضُهُمْ لِبَعْضٍ: «مَا عَسَى أَنْ يَكُونَ هَذَا؟».

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

13 وَكَانَ آخَرُونَ يَسْتَهْزِئُونَ قَائِلِينَ: «إِنَّهُمْ قَدِ ٱمْتَلَأُوا سُلَافَةً».

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 ٱلْأَحَدَ عَشَرَ وَرَفَعَ صَوْتَهُ وَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «أَيُّهَا ٱلرِّجَالُ ٱلْيَهُودُ وَٱلسَّاكِنُونَ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ أَجْمَعُونَ، لِيَكُنْ هَذَا مَعْلُومًا عِنْدَكُمْ وَأَصْغُوا إِلَى كَلَامِي،

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

15 لِأَنَّ هَؤُلَاءِ لَيْسُوا سُكَارَى كَمَا أَنْتُمْ تَظُنُّونَ، لِأَنَّهَا ٱلسَّاعَةُ ٱلثَّالِثَةُ مِنَ ٱلنَّهَارِ.

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

16 بَلْ هَذَا مَا قِيلَ بِيُوئِيلَ ٱلنَّبِيِّ:

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 ٱللهُ: وَيَكُونُ فِي ٱلْأَيَّامِ ٱلْأَخِيرَةِ أَنِّي أَسْكُبُ مِنْ رُوحِي عَلَى كُلِّ بَشَرٍ، فَيَتَنَبَّأُ بَنُوكُمْ وَبَنَاتُكُمْ، وَيَرَى شَبَابُكُمْ رُؤًى وَيَحْلُمُ شُيُوخُكُمْ أَحْلَامًا.

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

18 وَعَلَى عَبِيدِي أَيْضًا وَإِمَائِي أَسْكُبُ مِنْ رُوحِي فِي تِلْكَ ٱلْأَيَّامِ فَيَتَنَبَّأُونَ.

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

19 وَأُعْطِي عَجَائِبَ فِي ٱلسَّمَاءِ مِنْ فَوْقُ وَآيَاتٍ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ مِنْ أَسْفَلُ: دَمًا وَنَارًا وَبُخَارَ دُخَانٍ.

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 تَتَحَوَّلُ ٱلشَّمْسُ إِلَى ظُلْمَةٍ وَٱلْقَمَرُ إِلَى دَمٍ، قَبْلَ أَنْ يَجِيءَ يَوْمُ ٱلرَّبِّ ٱلْعَظِيمُ ٱلشَّهِيرُ.

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

21 وَيَكُونُ كُلُّ مَنْ يَدْعُو بِٱسْمِ ٱلرَّبِّ 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 «أَيُّهَا ٱلرِّجَالُ ٱلْإِسْرَائِيلِيُّونَ ٱسْمَعُوا هَذِهِ ٱلْأَقْوَالَ: يَسُوعُ ٱلنَّاصِرِيُّ رَجُلٌ قَدْ تَبَرْهَنَ لَكُمْ مِنْ قِبَلِ ٱللهِ بِقُوَّاتٍ وَعَجَائِبَ وَآيَاتٍ صَنَعَهَا ٱللهُ بِيَدِهِ فِي وَسْطِكُمْ، كَمَا أَنْتُمْ أَيْضًا 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 هَذَا أَخَذْتُمُوهُ مُسَلَّمًا بِمَشُورَةِ ٱللهِ ٱلْمَحْتُومَةِ وَعِلْمِهِ ٱلسَّابِقِ، وَبِأَيْدِي أَثَمَةٍ صَلَبْتُمُوهُ وَقَتَلْتُمُوهُ.

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 اَلَّذِي أَقَامَهُ ٱللهُ نَاقِضًا أَوْجَاعَ ٱلْمَوْتِ، إِذْ لَمْ يَكُنْ مُمْكِنًا أَنْ يُمْسَكَ مِنْهُ.

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 لِأَنَّ دَاوُدَ يَقُولُ فِيهِ: كُنْتُ أَرَى ٱلرَّبَّ أَمَامِي فِي كُلِّ حِينٍ، أَنَّهُ عَنْ يَمِينِي، لِكَيْ لَا أَتَزَعْزَعَ.

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

26 لِذَلِكَ سُرَّ قَلْبِي وَتَهَلَّلَ لِسَانِي. حَتَّى جَسَدِي أَيْضًا سَيَسْكُنُ عَلَى رَجَاءٍ.

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

27 لِأَنَّكَ لَنْ تَتْرُكَ نَفْسِي فِي ٱلْهَاوِيَةِ وَلَا تَدَعَ قُدُّوسَكَ يَرَى فَسَادًا.

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

28 عَرَّفْتَنِي سُبُلَ ٱلْحَيَاةِ وَسَتَمْلَأُنِي سُرُورًا مَعَ 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 ٱلرِّجَالُ ٱلْإِخْوَةُ، يَسُوغُ أَنْ يُقَالَ لَكُمْ جِهَارًا عَنْ رَئِيسِ ٱلْآبَاءِ دَاوُدَ إِنَّهُ مَاتَ وَدُفِنَ، وَقَبْرُهُ عِنْدَنَا حَتَّى هَذَا ٱلْيَوْمِ.

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 فَإِذْ كَانَ نَبِيًّا، وَعَلِمَ أَنَّ ٱللهَ حَلَفَ لَهُ بِقَسَمٍ أَنَّهُ مِنْ ثَمَرَةِ صُلْبِهِ يُقِيمُ ٱلْمَسِيحَ حَسَبَ ٱلْجَسَدِ لِيَجْلِسَ عَلَى كُرْسِيِّهِ،

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 سَبَقَ فَرَأَى وَتَكَلَّمَ عَنْ قِيَامَةِ ٱلْمَسِيحِ، أَنَّهُ لَمْ تُتْرَكْ نَفْسُهُ فِي ٱلْهَاوِيَةِ وَلَا رَأَى جَسَدُهُ فَسَادًا.

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

32 فَيَسُوعُ هَذَا أَقَامَهُ ٱللهُ، وَنَحْنُ جَمِيعًا 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 وَإِذِ ٱرْتَفَعَ بِيَمِينِ ٱللهِ، وَأَخَذَ مَوْعِدَ ٱلرُّوحِ ٱلْقُدُسِ مِنَ ٱلْآبِ، سَكَبَ هَذَا ٱلَّذِي أَنْتُمُ ٱلْآنَ تُبْصِرُونَهُ وَتَسْمَعُونَهُ.

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

34 لِأَنَّ دَاوُدَ لَمْ يَصْعَدْ إِلَى ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ. وَهُوَ نَفْسُهُ يَقُولُ: قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِرَبِّي: ٱجْلِسْ عَنْ يَمِينِي

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

35 حَتَّى أَضَعَ أَعْدَاءَكَ مَوْطِئًا لِقَدَمَيْكَ.

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

36 فَلْيَعْلَمْ يَقِينًا جَمِيعُ بَيْتِ إِسْرَائِيلَ أَنَّ ٱللهَ جَعَلَ يَسُوعَ هَذَا، ٱلَّذِي صَلَبْتُمُوهُ أَنْتُمْ، رَبًّا وَمَسِيحًا».

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 سَمِعُوا نُخِسُوا فِي قُلُوبِهِمْ، وَقَالُوا لِبُطْرُسَ وَلِسَائِرِ ٱلرُّسُلِ: «مَاذَا نَصْنَعُ أَيُّهَا ٱلرِّجَالُ ٱلْإِخْوَةُ؟».

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 فَقَالَ لَهُمْ بُطْرُسُ: «تُوبُوا وَلْيَعْتَمِدْ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْكُمْ عَلَى ٱسْمِ يَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ لِغُفْرَانِ ٱلْخَطَايَا، فَتَقْبَلُوا عَطِيَّةَ ٱلرُّوحِ ٱلْقُدُسِ.

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 لِأَنَّ ٱلْمَوْعِدَ هُوَ لَكُمْ وَلِأَوْلَادِكُمْ وَلِكُلِّ ٱلَّذِينَ عَلَى بُعْدٍ، كُلِّ مَنْ يَدْعُوهُ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُنَا».

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

40 وَبِأَقْوَالٍ أُخَرَ كَثِيرَةٍ كَانَ يَشْهَدُ لَهُمْ وَيَعِظُهُمْ قَائِلًا: «ٱخْلُصُوا مِنْ هَذَا ٱلْجِيلِ ٱلْمُلْتَوِي».

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

41 فَقَبِلُوا كَلَامَهُ بِفَرَحٍ، وَٱعْتَمَدُوا، وَٱنْضَمَّ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ نَحْوُ ثَلَاثَةِ آلَافِ نَفْسٍ.

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

42 وَكَانُوا يُواظِبُونَ عَلَى تَعْلِيمِ ٱلرُّسُلِ، وَٱلشَّرِكَةِ، وَكَسْرِ ٱلْخُبْزِ، وَٱلصَّلَوَاتِ.

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

43 وَصَارَ خَوْفٌ فِي كُلِّ نَفْسٍ. وَكَانَتْ عَجَائِبُ وَآيَاتٌ كَثِيرَةٌ تُجْرَى عَلَى أَيْدِي ٱلرُّسُلِ.

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

44 وَجَمِيعُ ٱلَّذِينَ آمَنُوا كَانُوا مَعًا، وَكَانَ عِنْدَهُمْ كُلُّ شَيْءٍ مُشْتَرَكًا.

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

45 وَٱلْأَمْلَاكُ وَٱلْمُقْتَنَيَاتُ كَانُوا يَبِيعُونَهَا وَيَقْسِمُونَهَا بَيْنَ ٱلْجَمِيعِ، كَمَا يَكُونُ لِكُلِّ وَاحِدٍ ٱحْتِيَاجٌ.

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 وَكَانُوا كُلَّ يَوْمٍ يُواظِبُونَ فِي ٱلْهَيْكَلِ بِنَفْسٍ وَاحِدَةٍ. وَإِذْ هُمْ يَكْسِرُونَ ٱلْخُبْزَ فِي ٱلْبُيُوتِ، كَانُوا يَتَنَاوَلُونَ ٱلطَّعَامَ بِٱبْتِهَاجٍ 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 ٱللهَ، وَلَهُمْ نِعْمَةٌ لَدَى جَمِيعِ ٱلشَّعْبِ. وَكَانَ ٱلرَّبُّ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ يَضُمُّ إِلَى ٱلْكَنِيسَةِ ٱلَّذِينَ يَخْلُصُونَ.
