Acts 2 (NAV) · Opened

1وَلَمَّا جَاءَ الْيَوْمُ الْخَمْسُونَ، كَانَ الإِخْوَةُ مُجْتَمِعِينَ مَعاً فِي مَكَانٍ وَاحِدٍ،When the day of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place.

2وَفَجْأَةً حَدَثَ صَوْتٌ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ كَأَنَّهُ دَوِيُّ رِيحٍ عَاصِفَةٍ، فَمَلأَ الْبَيْتَ الَّذِي كَانُوا جَالِسِينَ فِيهِ.Suddenly a sound like a mighty rushing wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting.

3ثُمَّ ظَهَرَتْ لَهُمْ أَلْسِنَةٌ كَأَنَّهَا مِنْ نَارٍ، وَقَدْ تَوَزَّعَتْ وَحَلَّتْ عَلَى كُلِّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمْ،They saw tongues like flames of fire that separated and came to rest on each of them.

4فَامْتَلأُوا جَمِيعاً مِنَ الرُّوحِ الْقُدُسِ، وَأَخَذُوا يَتَكَلَّمُونَ بِلُغَاتٍ أُخْرَى، مِثْلَمَا مَنَحَهُمُ الرُّوحُ أَنْ يَنْطِقُوا.And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit enabled them.

5وَكَانَتْ أُورُشَلِيمُ فِي ذلِكَ الْوَقْتِ مُزْدَحِمَةً بِالْيَهُودِ الأَتْقِيَاءِ الَّذِينَ جَاءُوا إِلَيْهَا مِنْ أُمَمِ الْعَالَمِ كُلِّهَا.Now there were dwelling in Jerusalem God-fearing Jews from every nation under heaven.

6فَلَمَّا دَوَّى الصَّوْتُ، تَوَافَدَتْ إِلَيْهِمِ الْجُمُوعُ، وَقَدْ أَخَذَتْهُمُ الْحَيْرَةُ لأَنَّ كُلَّ وَاحِدٍ كَانَ يَسْمَعُهُمْ يَتَكَلَّمُونَ بِلُغَتِهِ.And when this sound rang out, a crowd came together in bewilderment, because each one heard them speaking his own language.

7وَاسْتَوْلَتِ الدَّهْشَةُ عَلَيْهِمْ. فَأَخَذُوا يَتَسَاءَلُونَ: «أَلَيْسَ هَؤُلاءِ الْمُتَكَلِّمُونَ جَمِيعاً مِنْ أَهْلِ الْجَلِيلِ؟Astounded and amazed, they asked, “Are not all these who are speaking Galileans?

8فَكَيْفَ يَسْمَعُ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مِنَّا لُغَةَ الْبَلَدِ الَّذِي وُلِدَ فِيهِ؟How is it then that each of us hears them in his own native language?

9فَبَعْضُنَا فَرْتِيُّونَ، وَمَادِيُّونَ، وَعِيلامِيُّونَ. وَبَعْضُنَا مِنْ سُكَّانِ مَا بَيْنَ النَّهْرَيْنِ وَالْيَهُودِيَّةِ، وَكَبَّدُوكِيَّةَ، وَبُنْتُسَ، وَأَسِيَّا،Parthians, Medes, and Elamites; residents of Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia,

10وَفَرِيجِيَّةَ، وَبَمْفِيلِيَّةَ، وَمِصْرَ، وَنَوَاحِي لِيبِيَّا الْمُواجِهَةِ لِلقَيْرَوَانِ. وَبَيْنَنَا كَثِيرُونَ مِنَ الرُّومَانِيِّينَ الزَّائِرِينَ،Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya near Cyrene; visitors from Rome,

11يَهُوداً وَمُتَهَوِّدِينَ، وَبَعْضُ الْكَرِيتِيِّينَ وَالْعَرَبِ. وَهَا نَحْنُ نَسْمَعُهُمْ يُكَلِّمُونَنَا بِلُغَاتِنَا عَنْ أَعْمَالِ اللهِ الْعَظِيمَةِ».both Jews and converts to Judaism; Cretans and Arabs—we hear them declaring the wonders of God in our own tongues!”

12وَأَخَذَ الْجَمِيعُ يَسْأَلُونَ بَعْضُهُمْ بَعْضاً فِي دَهْشَةٍ وَحَيْرَةٍ: «مَا مَعْنَى هَذَا كُلِّهِ؟»Astounded and perplexed, they asked one another, “What does this mean?”

13أَمَّا بَعْضُهُمْ فَقَالُوا سَاخِرِينَ: «مَا هُمْ إِلّا سُكَارَى!»But others mocked them and said, “They are drunk on new wine!”

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

15لَيْسَ هؤُلاءِ سَكَارَى كَمَا تَتَوَهَّمُونَ، فَالنَّاسُ لَا يَسْكَرُونَ فِي السَّاعَةِ التَّاسِعَةِ صَبَاحاً.These men are not drunk, as you suppose. It is only the third hour of the day!

16وَلَكِنْ هَذَا مَا قِيلَ بِلِسَانِ النَّبِيِّ يُوئِيلَ:No, this is what was spoken by the prophet Joel:

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

18فِي تِلْكَ الأَيَّامِ أُفِيضُ مِنْ رُوحِي عَلَى عَبِيدِي كُلِّهِمْ، رِجَالاً وَنِسَاءً، فَيَتَنَبَّأُونَ.Even on My menservants and maidservants I will pour out My Spirit in those days, and they will prophesy.

19سَأُجْرِي عَجَائِبَ فَوْقُ فِي السَّمَاءِ وَعَلامَاتٍ تَحْتُ عَلَى الأَرْضِ، حَيْثُ يَكُونُ دَمٌ وَنَارٌ وَدُخَانٌ كَثِيفٌ!I will show wonders in the heavens above and signs on the earth below, blood and fire and billows of smoke.

20وَقَبْلَ أَنْ يَأْتِيَ يَوْمُ الرَّبِّ، ذلِكَ الْيَوْمُ الْعَظِيمُ الشَّهِيرُ، سَتُظْلِمُ الشَّمْسُ، وَيَتَحَوَّلُ الْقَمَرُ إِلَى لَوْنِ الدَّمِ.The sun will be turned to darkness, and the moon to blood, before the coming of the great and glorious Day of the Lord.

21وَلَكِنَّ كُلَّ مَنْ يَدْعُو بِاسْمِ الرَّبِّ يَخْلُصُ!And everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.’

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

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

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

25فَإِنَّ دَاوُدَ يَقُولُ فِيهِ: كُنْتُ أَرَى الرَّبَّ أَمَامِي دَائِماً فَإِنَّهُ عَنْ يَمِينِي لِئَلّا أَتَزَعْزَعَ.David says about Him: ‘I saw the Lord always before me; because He is at my right hand, I will not be shaken.

26لِذَلِكَ فَرِحَ قَلْبِي وَتَهَلَّلَ لِسَانِي. حَتَّى إِنَّ جَسَدِي سَيَرْقُدُ عَلَى رَجَاءٍ.Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices; my body also will dwell in hope,

27لأَنَّكَ لَنْ تَتْرُكَ نَفْسِي فِي هُوَّةِ الأَمْوَاتِ، وَلَنْ تَدَعَ وَحِيدَكَ الْقُدُّوسَ يَرَى فَسَاداً،because You will not abandon my soul to Hades, nor will You let Your Holy One see decay.

28هَدَيْتَنِي سُبُلَ الْحَيَاةِ، وَسَتَمْلأُنِي سُرُوراً بِرُؤْيَةِ وَجْهِكَ!You have made known to me the paths of life; You will fill me with joy in Your presence.’

29أَيُّهَا الإِخْوَةُ، دَعُونِي أَقُولُ لَكُمْ صَرَاحَةً إِنَّ أَبَانَا دَاوُدَ مَاتَ وَدُفِنَ، وَقَبْرُهُ مَازَالَ عِنْدَنَا حَتَّى الْيَوْمِ.Brothers, I can tell you with confidence that the patriarch David died and was buried, and his tomb is with us to this day.

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

31فَقَدْ تَكَلَّمَ عَنْ قِيَامَةِ الْمَسِيحِ كَمَا رَآهَا مُسْبَقاً، فَقَالَ إِنَّ نَفْسَهُ لَمْ تُتْرَكْ فِي هُوَّةِ الأَمْوَاتِ، وَلَمْ يَنَلْ مِنْ جَسَدِهِ الْفَسَادُ.Foreseeing this, David spoke about the resurrection of the Christ, that He was not abandoned to Hades, nor did His body see decay.

32فَيَسُوعُ هَذَا أَقَامَهُ اللهُ مِنَ الْمَوْتِ، وَنَحْنُ جَمِيعاً شُهُودٌ لِذَلِكَ.God has raised this Jesus to life, to which we are all witnesses.

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

34فَإِنَّ دَاوُدَ لَمْ يَرْتَفِعْ بِجَسَدِهِ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ. ثُمَّ إِنَّهُ هُوَ نَفْسَهُ يَقُولُ: قَالَ الرَّبُّ لِرَبِّي: اجْلِسْ عَنْ يَمِينِيFor David did not ascend into heaven, but he himself says: ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at My right hand

35حَتَّى أَجْعَلَ أَعْدَاءَكَ مَوْطِئاً لِقَدَمَيْكَ.until I make Your enemies a footstool for Your feet.”’

36فَلْيَعْلَمْ يَقِيناً بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ جَمِيعاً، أَنَّ اللهَ قَدْ جَعَلَ يَسُوعَ، هَذَا الَّذِي صَلَبْتُمُوهُ أَنْتُمْ، رَبّاً وَمَسِيحاً!»Therefore let all Israel know with certainty that God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Christ!”

37فَلَمَّا سَمِعَ الْحَاضِرُونَ هَذَا الْكَلامَ، وَخَزَتْهُمْ قُلُوبُهُمْ، فَسَأَلُوا بُطْرُسَ وَبَاقِي الرُّسُلِ: «مَاذَا نَعْمَلُ أَيُّهَا الإِخْوَةُ؟»When the people heard this, they were cut to the heart and asked Peter and the other apostles, “Brothers, what shall we do?”

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

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

40ثُمَّ شَهِدَ بُطْرُسُ لِلْحَاضِرِينَ وَوَعَظَهُمْ بِكَلامٍ كَثِيرٍ آخَرَ، قَائِلاً: «اخْلُصُوا مِنْ هَذَا الْجِيلِ الْمُنْحَرِفِ!»With many other words he testified, and he urged them, “Be saved from this corrupt generation.”

41فَالَّذِينَ قَبِلُوا كَلامَهُ مِنْهُمْ تَعَمَّدُوا. وَانْضَمَّ فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ نَحْوُ ثَلاثَةِ آلافِ نَفْسٍ.Those who embraced his message were baptized, and about three thousand were added to the believers that day.

42وَكَانَ الْجَمِيعُ يُدَاوِمُونَ عَلَى تَلَقِّي تَعْلِيمِ الرُّسُلِ، وَعَلَى حَيَاةِ الشَّرِكَةِ، وَكَسْرِ الْخُبْزِ، وَالصَّلَوَاتِ.They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer.

43وَلَمَّا أُجْرِيَتْ عَجَائِبُ وَعَلامَاتٌ كَثِيرَةٌ عَلَى أَيْدِي الرُّسُلِ، اسْتَوْلَتِ الرَّهْبَةُ عَلَى كُلِّ نَفْسٍ.A sense of awe came over everyone, and the apostles performed many wonders and signs.

44وَكَانَ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ كُلُّهُمْ مُتَّحِدِينَ مَعاً، فَكَانُوا يَتَشَارَكُونَ فِي كُلِّ مَا يَمْلِكُونَ،All the believers were together and had everything in common.

45وَيَبِيعُونَ أَمْلاكَهُمْ وَمُقْتَنَيَاتِهِمْ وَيَتَقَاسَمُونَ الثَّمَنَ عَلَى قَدْرِ احْتِيَاجِ كُلٍّ مِنْهُمْ،Selling their possessions and goods, they shared with anyone who was in need.

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

47مُسَبِّحِينَ اللهَ، وَكَانُوا يُلاقُونَ اسْتِحْسَاناً لَدَى الشَّعْبِ كُلِّهِ. وَكَانَ الرَّبُّ، كُلَّ يَوْمٍ، يَضُمُّ إِلَى الْكَنِيسَةِ الَّذِينَ يَخْلُصُونَ.praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved.
