Acts 3 (NAV) · Opened

1وَذَاتَ يَوْمٍ ذَهَبَ بُطْرُسُ وَيُوحَنَّا إِلَى الْهَيْكَلِ لِصَلاةِ السَّاعَةِ الثَّالِثَةِ بَعْدَ الظُّهْرِ.One afternoon Peter and John were going up to the temple at the hour of prayer, the ninth hour.

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

3فَلَمَّا رَأَى بُطْرُسَ وَيُوحَنَّا دَاخِلَيْنِ، طَلَبَ مِنْهُمَا صَدَقَةً،When he saw Peter and John about to enter, he asked them for money.

4فَنَظَرَا إِلَيْهِ مَلِيًّا، وَقَالَ لَهُ بُطْرُسُ: «انْظُرْ إِلَيْنَا!»Peter looked directly at him, as did John. “Look at us!” said Peter.

5فَتَعَلَّقَتْ عَيْنَاهُ بِهِمَا، مُنْتَظِراً أَنْ يَتَصَدَّقَا عَلَيْهِ بِشَيْءٍ.So the man gave them his attention, expecting to receive something from them.

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

7وَأَمْسَكَهُ بِيَدِهِ الْيُمْنَى وَأَقَامَهُ، فَدَبَّتِ الْقُوَّةُ حَالاً فِي رِجْلَيْهِ وَكَعْبَيْهِ،Taking him by the right hand, Peter helped him up, and at once the man’s feet and ankles were made strong.

8فَوَقَفَ قَافِزاً وَبَدَأَ يَمْشِي، وَدَخَلَ مَعَهُمَا إِلَى الْهَيْكَلِ وَهُوَ يَمْشِي وَيَقْفِزُ فَرَحاً وَيُسَبِّحُ اللهَ.He sprang to his feet and began to walk. Then he went with them into the temple courts, walking and leaping and praising God.

9وَرَآهُ جَمِيعُ الْحَاضِرِينَ مَاشِياً يُسَبِّحُ اللهَ،When all the people saw him walking and praising God,

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

11وَبَيْنَمَا كَانَ فِي قَاعَةِ الْهَيْكَلِ الْمَعْرُوفَةِ بِقَاعَةِ سُلَيْمَانَ مُلازِماً بُطْرُسَ وَيُوحَنَّا، أَسْرَعَ كَثِيرُونَ مِنَ الشَّعْبِ وَاجْتَمَعُوا حَوْلَهُمْ مَدْهُوشِينَ،While the man clung to Peter and John, all the people were astonished and ran to them in the walkway called Solomon’s Colonnade.

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

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

14أَنْتُمْ أَنْكَرْتُمُ الْقُدُّوسَ الْبَارَّ وَطَلَبْتُمُ الْعَفْوَ عَنْ رَجُلٍ قَاتِلٍ،You rejected the Holy and Righteous One and asked that a murderer be released to you.

15وَقَتَلْتُمْ وَاهِبَ الْحَيَاةِ. وَلَكِنَّ اللهَ أَقَامَهُ مِنْ بَيْنِ الأَمْوَاتِ وَنَحْنُ شُهُودٌ لِذَلِكَ.You killed the Author of life, but God raised Him from the dead, and we are witnesses of this fact.

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

17إِنِّي أَعْلَمُ أَيُّهَا الإِخْوَةُ أَنَّكُمْ وَرُؤَسَاءَكُمْ عَامَلْتُمُ الْمَسِيحَ بِجَهْلٍ،And now, brothers, I know that you acted in ignorance, as did your leaders.

18وَلَكِنَّ اللهَ أَتَمَّ بِذَلِكَ مَا كَانَ قَدْ أَوْحَى بِهِ إِلَى جَمِيعِ أَنْبِيَائِهِ مِنْ أَنَّ الْمَسِيحَ سَيُلاقِي الآلامَ.But in this way God has fulfilled what He foretold through all the prophets, saying that His Christ would suffer.

19فَتُوبُوا وَارْجِعُوا لِيَمْحُوَ اللهُ خَطَايَاكُمْ،Repent, then, and turn back, so that your sins may be wiped away,

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

21إِذْ لابُدَّ أَنْ يَبْقَى الْمَسِيحُ فِي السَّمَاءِ حَتَّى يَأْتِيَ الزَّمَنُ الَّذِي يَتِمُّ فِيهِ الإِصْلاحُ الشَّامِلُ لِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ كَمَا أَوْحَى اللهُ إِلَى أَنْبِيَائِهِ الأَتْقِيَاءِ مُنْذُ الْقِدَمِ.Heaven must take Him in until the time comes for the restoration of all things, which God announced long ago through His holy prophets.

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

23أَمَّا مَنْ لَا يَسْمَعْ لَهُ فَسَيُبَادُ مِنْ وَسَطِ الشَّعْبِ.Everyone who does not listen to Him will be completely cut off from among his people.’

24وَكَذَلِكَ تَنَبَّأَ بِهذِهِ الأَزْمِنَةِ جَمِيعُ الأَنْبِيَاءِ، مِنْ صَمُوئِيلَ إِلَى الَّذِينَ جَاءُوا بَعْدَهُ.Indeed, all the prophets from Samuel on, as many as have spoken, have proclaimed these days.

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

26فَمِنْ أَجْلِكُمْ أَوَّلاً أَقَامَ اللهُ فَتَاهُ يَسُوعَ وَأَرْسَلَهُ لِيُبَارِكَكُمْ بِرَدِّ كُلِّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْكُمْ عَنْ شُرُورِهِ».When God raised up His Servant, He sent Him first to you to bless you by turning each of you from your wicked ways.”
