Acts 3

1 One afternoon Peter and John were going up to the temple at the hour of prayer, the ninth hour.

1 وَذَاتَ يَوْمٍ ذَهَبَ بُطْرُسُ وَيُوحَنَّا إِلَى الْهَيْكَلِ لِصَلاةِ السَّاعَةِ الثَّالِثَةِ بَعْدَ الظُّهْرِ.

2 And a man who was lame from birth was being carried to the temple gate called Beautiful, where he was put every day to beg from those entering the temple courts.

2 وَعِنْدَ بَابِ الْهَيْكَلِ الَّذِي يُسَمَّى الْبَابَ الْجَمِيلَ، كَانَ يَجْلِسُ رَجُلٌ كَسِيحٌ مُنْذُ وِلادَتِهِ، يَحْمِلُونَهُ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ وَيَضَعُونَهُ هُنَاكَ لِيَطْلُبَ صَدَقَةً مِنَ الَّذِينَ يَدْخُلُونَ الْهَيْكَلَ.

3 When he saw Peter and John about to enter, he asked them for money.

3 فَلَمَّا رَأَى بُطْرُسَ وَيُوحَنَّا دَاخِلَيْنِ، طَلَبَ مِنْهُمَا صَدَقَةً،

4 Peter looked directly at him, as did John. “Look at us!” said Peter.

4 فَنَظَرَا إِلَيْهِ مَلِيًّا، وَقَالَ لَهُ بُطْرُسُ: «انْظُرْ إِلَيْنَا!»

5 So the man gave them his attention, expecting to receive something from them.

5 فَتَعَلَّقَتْ عَيْنَاهُ بِهِمَا، مُنْتَظِراً أَنْ يَتَصَدَّقَا عَلَيْهِ بِشَيْءٍ.

6 But Peter said, “Silver or gold I do not have, but what I have I give you: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, get up and walk!”

6 فَقَالَ بُطْرُسُ: «لا فِضَّةَ عِنْدِي وَلا ذَهَبَ، وَلَكِنِّي أُعْطِيكَ مَا عِنْدِي: بِاسْمِ يَسُوعَ الْمَسِيحِ النَّاصِرِيِّ قُمْ وَامْشِ!»

7 Taking him by the right hand, Peter helped him up, and at once the man’s feet and ankles were made strong.

7 وَأَمْسَكَهُ بِيَدِهِ الْيُمْنَى وَأَقَامَهُ، فَدَبَّتِ الْقُوَّةُ حَالاً فِي رِجْلَيْهِ وَكَعْبَيْهِ،

8 He sprang to his feet and began to walk. Then he went with them into the temple courts, walking and leaping and praising God.

8 فَوَقَفَ قَافِزاً وَبَدَأَ يَمْشِي، وَدَخَلَ مَعَهُمَا إِلَى الْهَيْكَلِ وَهُوَ يَمْشِي وَيَقْفِزُ فَرَحاً وَيُسَبِّحُ اللهَ.

9 When all the people saw him walking and praising God,

9 وَرَآهُ جَمِيعُ الْحَاضِرِينَ مَاشِياً يُسَبِّحُ اللهَ،

10 they recognized him as the man who used to sit begging at the Beautiful Gate of the temple, and they were filled with wonder and amazement at what had happened to him.

10 وَعَرَفُوا أَنَّهُ الْمُسْتَعْطِي الْكَسِيحُ الَّذِي تَعَوَّدَ أَنْ يَقْعُدَ أَمَامَ الْبَابِ الْجَمِيلِ، فَأَخَذَتْهُمُ الدَّهْشَةُ وَالْحَيْرَةُ مِمَّا حَدَثَ لَهُ!

11 While the man clung to Peter and John, all the people were astonished and ran to them in the walkway called Solomon’s Colonnade.

11 وَبَيْنَمَا كَانَ فِي قَاعَةِ الْهَيْكَلِ الْمَعْرُوفَةِ بِقَاعَةِ سُلَيْمَانَ مُلازِماً بُطْرُسَ وَيُوحَنَّا، أَسْرَعَ كَثِيرُونَ مِنَ الشَّعْبِ وَاجْتَمَعُوا حَوْلَهُمْ مَدْهُوشِينَ،

12 And when Peter saw this, he addressed the people: “Men of Israel, why are you surprised by this? Why do you stare at us as if by our own power or godliness we had made this man walk?

12 فَقَالَ لَهُمْ بُطْرُسُ إِذْ رَأَى ذلِكَ: «يَا بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، لِمَاذَا تَتَعَجَّبُونَ مِمَّا حَدَثَ، وَلِمَاذَا تُحَدِّقُونَ إِلَيْنَا كَأَنَّنَا بِقُدْرَتِنَا أَوْ بِتَقْوَانَا جَعَلْنَا هَذَا الرَّجُلَ يَمْشِي؟

13 The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the God of our fathers, has glorified His servant Jesus. You handed Him over and rejected Him before Pilate, even though he had decided to release Him.

13 إِنَّ إِلهَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَإِسْحَاقَ وَيَعْقُوبَ، إِلهَ آبَائِنَا، قَدْ مَجَّدَ فَتَاهُ يَسُوعَ، الَّذِي أَسْلَمْتُمُوهُ أَنْتُمْ لِلْمَوْتِ وَأَنْكَرْتُمُوهُ أَمَامَ بِيلاطُسَ، فِي حِينِ كَانَ يُرِيدُ أَنْ يُطْلِقَهُ.

14 You rejected the Holy and Righteous One and asked that a murderer be released to you.

14 أَنْتُمْ أَنْكَرْتُمُ الْقُدُّوسَ الْبَارَّ وَطَلَبْتُمُ الْعَفْوَ عَنْ رَجُلٍ قَاتِلٍ،

15 You killed the Author of life, but God raised Him from the dead, and we are witnesses of this fact.

15 وَقَتَلْتُمْ وَاهِبَ الْحَيَاةِ. وَلَكِنَّ اللهَ أَقَامَهُ مِنْ بَيْنِ الأَمْوَاتِ وَنَحْنُ شُهُودٌ لِذَلِكَ.

16 By faith in the name of Jesus, this man whom you see and know has been made strong. It is Jesus’ name and the faith that comes through Him that has given him this complete healing in your presence.

16 وَبِفَضْلِ الإِيمَانِ بِاسْمِهِ، أَعَادَ اسْمُهُ الْقُوَّةَ إِلَى هَذَا الرَّجُلِ الَّذِي تَرَوْنَهُ وَتَعْرِفُونَهُ. فَالإِيمَانُ بِيَسُوعَ هُوَ الَّذِي أَعْطَاهُ هذِهِ الصِّحَّةَ الْكَامِلَةَ بِمَشْهَدٍ مِنْكُمْ جَمِيعاً.

17 And now, brothers, I know that you acted in ignorance, as did your leaders.

17 إِنِّي أَعْلَمُ أَيُّهَا الإِخْوَةُ أَنَّكُمْ وَرُؤَسَاءَكُمْ عَامَلْتُمُ الْمَسِيحَ بِجَهْلٍ،

18 But in this way God has fulfilled what He foretold through all the prophets, saying that His Christ would suffer.

18 وَلَكِنَّ اللهَ أَتَمَّ بِذَلِكَ مَا كَانَ قَدْ أَوْحَى بِهِ إِلَى جَمِيعِ أَنْبِيَائِهِ مِنْ أَنَّ الْمَسِيحَ سَيُلاقِي الآلامَ.

19 Repent, then, and turn back, so that your sins may be wiped away,

19 فَتُوبُوا وَارْجِعُوا لِيَمْحُوَ اللهُ خَطَايَاكُمْ،

20 that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord, and that He may send Jesus, the Christ, who has been appointed for you.

20 وَتَأْتِيَكُمْ أَيَّامُ الْفَرَجِ مِنْ قِبَلِ الرَّبِّ، إِذْ يُرْسِلُ إِلَيْكُمْ يَسُوعَ الْمَسِيحَ ثَانِيَةً، الَّذِي سَبَقَ أَنْ عَيَّنَهُ لَكُمْ،

21 Heaven must take Him in until the time comes for the restoration of all things, which God announced long ago through His holy prophets.

21 إِذْ لابُدَّ أَنْ يَبْقَى الْمَسِيحُ فِي السَّمَاءِ حَتَّى يَأْتِيَ الزَّمَنُ الَّذِي يَتِمُّ فِيهِ الإِصْلاحُ الشَّامِلُ لِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ كَمَا أَوْحَى اللهُ إِلَى أَنْبِيَائِهِ الأَتْقِيَاءِ مُنْذُ الْقِدَمِ.

22 For Moses said, ‘The Lord your God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among your brothers. You must listen to Him in everything He tells you.

22 وَقَدْ قَالَ مُوسَى: سَيَبْعَثُ اللهُ فِيكُمْ مِنْ بَيْنِ إِخْوَتِكُمْ نَبِيًّا مِثْلِي فَاسْمَعُوا لَهُ فِي كُلِّ مَا يُكَلِّمُكُمْ بِهِ.

23 Everyone who does not listen to Him will be completely cut off from among his people.’

23 أَمَّا مَنْ لَا يَسْمَعْ لَهُ فَسَيُبَادُ مِنْ وَسَطِ الشَّعْبِ.

24 Indeed, all the prophets from Samuel on, as many as have spoken, have proclaimed these days.

24 وَكَذَلِكَ تَنَبَّأَ بِهذِهِ الأَزْمِنَةِ جَمِيعُ الأَنْبِيَاءِ، مِنْ صَمُوئِيلَ إِلَى الَّذِينَ جَاءُوا بَعْدَهُ.

25 And you are sons of the prophets and of the covenant God made with your fathers when He said to Abraham, ‘Through your offspring all the families of the earth will be blessed.’

25 وَأَنْتُمْ أَحْفَادُ هَؤُلاءِ الأَنْبِيَاءِ، وَأَبْنَاءُ الْعَهْدِ الَّذِي أَبْرَمَهُ اللهُ لِآبَائِنَا عِنْدَمَا قَالَ لإِبْرَاهِيمَ: بِنَسْلِكَ تَنَالُ الْبَرَكَةَ شُعُوبُ الأَرْضِ كُلُّهَا.

26 When God raised up His Servant, He sent Him first to you to bless you by turning each of you from your wicked ways.”

26 فَمِنْ أَجْلِكُمْ أَوَّلاً أَقَامَ اللهُ فَتَاهُ يَسُوعَ وَأَرْسَلَهُ لِيُبَارِكَكُمْ بِرَدِّ كُلِّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْكُمْ عَنْ شُرُورِهِ».
