Acts 2 (AVD) · Opened

1وَلَمَّا حَضَرَ يَوْمُ ٱلْخَمْسِينَ كَانَ ٱلْجَمِيعُ مَعًا بِنَفْسٍ وَاحِدَةٍ،When the day of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place.

2وَصَارَ بَغْتَةً مِنَ ٱلسَّمَاءِ صَوْتٌ كَمَا مِنْ هُبُوبِ رِيحٍ عَاصِفَةٍ وَمَلَأَ كُلَّ ٱلْبَيْتِ حَيْثُ كَانُوا جَالِسِينَ،Suddenly a sound like a mighty rushing wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting.

3وَظَهَرَتْ لَهُمْ أَلْسِنَةٌ مُنْقَسِمَةٌ كَأَنَّهَا مِنْ نَارٍ وَٱسْتَقَرَّتْ عَلَى كُلِّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمْ.They saw tongues like flames of fire that separated and came to rest on each of them.

4وَٱمْتَلَأَ ٱلْجَمِيعُ مِنَ ٱلرُّوحِ ٱلْقُدُسِ، وَٱبْتَدَأُوا يَتَكَلَّمُونَ بِأَلْسِنَةٍ أُخْرَى كَمَا أَعْطَاهُمُ ٱلرُّوحُ أَنْ يَنْطِقُوا.And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit enabled them.

5وَكَانَ يَهُودٌ رِجَالٌ أَتْقِيَاءُ مِنْ كُلِّ أُمَّةٍ تَحْتَ ٱلسَّمَاءِ سَاكِنِينَ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ.Now there were dwelling in Jerusalem God-fearing Jews from every nation under heaven.

6فَلَمَّا صَارَ هَذَا ٱلصَّوْتُ، ٱجْتَمَعَ ٱلْجُمْهُورُ وَتَحَيَّرُوا، لِأَنَّ 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.

7فَبُهِتَ ٱلْجَمِيعُ وَتَعَجَّبُوا قَائِلِينَ بَعْضُهُمْ لِبَعْضٍ: «أَتُرَى لَيْسَ جَمِيعُ هَؤُلَاءِ ٱلْمُتَكَلِّمِينَ جَلِيلِيِّينَ؟Astounded and amazed, they asked, “Are not all these who are speaking Galileans?

8فَكَيْفَ نَسْمَعُ نَحْنُ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مِنَّا لُغَتَهُ ٱلَّتِي وُلِدَ فِيهَا؟How is it then that each of us hears them in his own native language?

9فَرْتِيُّونَ وَمَادِيُّونَ وَعِيلَامِيُّونَ، وَٱلسَّاكِنُونَ مَا بَيْنَ ٱلنَّهْرَيْنِ، وَٱلْيَهُودِيَّةَ وَكَبَّدُوكِيَّةَ وَبُنْتُسَ وَأَسِيَّاParthians, Medes, and Elamites; residents of Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia,

10وَفَرِيجِيَّةَ وَبَمْفِيلِيَّةَ وَمِصْرَ، وَنَوَاحِيَ لِيبِيَّةَ ٱلَّتِي نَحْوَ ٱلْقَيْرَوَانِ، وَٱلرُّومَانِيُّونَ ٱلْمُسْتَوْطِنُونَ يَهُودٌ وَدُخَلَاءُ،Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya near Cyrene; visitors from Rome,

11كِرِيتِيُّونَ وَعَرَبٌ، نَسْمَعُهُمْ يَتَكَلَّمُونَ بِأَلْسِنَتِنَا بِعَظَائِمِ ٱللهِ!».both Jews and converts to Judaism; Cretans and Arabs—we hear them declaring the wonders of God in our own tongues!”

12فَتَحَيَّرَ ٱلْجَمِيعُ وَٱرْتَابُوا قَائِلِينَ بَعْضُهُمْ لِبَعْضٍ: «مَا عَسَى أَنْ يَكُونَ هَذَا؟».Astounded and perplexed, they asked one another, “What does this mean?”

13وَكَانَ آخَرُونَ يَسْتَهْزِئُونَ قَائِلِينَ: «إِنَّهُمْ قَدِ ٱمْتَلَأُوا سُلَافَةً».But others mocked them and said, “They are drunk on new wine!”

14فَوَقَفَ بُطْرُسُ مَعَ ٱلْأَحَدَ عَشَرَ وَرَفَعَ صَوْتَهُ وَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «أَيُّهَا ٱلرِّجَالُ ٱلْيَهُودُ وَٱلسَّاكِنُونَ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ أَجْمَعُونَ، لِيَكُنْ هَذَا مَعْلُومًا عِنْدَكُمْ وَأَصْغُوا إِلَى كَلَامِي،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.

15لِأَنَّ هَؤُلَاءِ لَيْسُوا سُكَارَى كَمَا أَنْتُمْ تَظُنُّونَ، لِأَنَّهَا ٱلسَّاعَةُ ٱلثَّالِثَةُ مِنَ ٱلنَّهَارِ.These men are not drunk, as you suppose. It is only the third hour of the day!

16بَلْ هَذَا مَا قِيلَ بِيُوئِيلَ ٱلنَّبِيِّ:No, this is what was spoken by the prophet Joel:

17يَقُولُ ٱللهُ: وَيَكُونُ فِي ٱلْأَيَّامِ ٱلْأَخِيرَةِ أَنِّي أَسْكُبُ مِنْ رُوحِي عَلَى كُلِّ بَشَرٍ، فَيَتَنَبَّأُ بَنُوكُمْ وَبَنَاتُكُمْ، وَيَرَى شَبَابُكُمْ رُؤًى وَيَحْلُمُ شُيُوخُكُمْ أَحْلَامًا.‘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.

18وَعَلَى عَبِيدِي أَيْضًا وَإِمَائِي أَسْكُبُ مِنْ رُوحِي فِي تِلْكَ ٱلْأَيَّامِ فَيَتَنَبَّأُونَ.Even on My menservants and maidservants I will pour out My Spirit in those days, and they will prophesy.

19وَأُعْطِي عَجَائِبَ فِي ٱلسَّمَاءِ مِنْ فَوْقُ وَآيَاتٍ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ مِنْ أَسْفَلُ: دَمًا وَنَارًا وَبُخَارَ دُخَانٍ.I will show wonders in the heavens above and signs on the earth below, blood and fire and billows of smoke.

20تَتَحَوَّلُ ٱلشَّمْسُ إِلَى ظُلْمَةٍ وَٱلْقَمَرُ إِلَى دَمٍ، قَبْلَ أَنْ يَجِيءَ يَوْمُ ٱلرَّبِّ ٱلْعَظِيمُ ٱلشَّهِيرُ.The sun will be turned to darkness, and the moon to blood, before the coming of the great and glorious Day of the Lord.

21وَيَكُونُ كُلُّ مَنْ يَدْعُو بِٱسْمِ ٱلرَّبِّ يَخْلُصُ.And everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.’

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.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.

23هَذَا أَخَذْتُمُوهُ مُسَلَّمًا بِمَشُورَةِ ٱللهِ ٱلْمَحْتُومَةِ وَعِلْمِهِ ٱلسَّابِقِ، وَبِأَيْدِي أَثَمَةٍ صَلَبْتُمُوهُ وَقَتَلْتُمُوهُ.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.

24اَلَّذِي أَقَامَهُ ٱللهُ نَاقِضًا أَوْجَاعَ ٱلْمَوْتِ، إِذْ لَمْ يَكُنْ مُمْكِنًا أَنْ يُمْسَكَ مِنْهُ.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.

25لِأَنَّ دَاوُدَ يَقُولُ فِيهِ: كُنْتُ أَرَى ٱلرَّبَّ أَمَامِي فِي كُلِّ حِينٍ، أَنَّهُ عَنْ يَمِينِي، لِكَيْ لَا 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 سُرَّ قَلْبِي وَتَهَلَّلَ لِسَانِي. حَتَّى جَسَدِي أَيْضًا سَيَسْكُنُ عَلَى رَجَاءٍ.Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices; my body also will dwell in hope,

27لِأَنَّكَ لَنْ تَتْرُكَ نَفْسِي فِي ٱلْهَاوِيَةِ وَلَا تَدَعَ قُدُّوسَكَ يَرَى فَسَادًا.because You will not abandon my soul to Hades, nor will You let Your Holy One see decay.

28عَرَّفْتَنِي سُبُلَ ٱلْحَيَاةِ وَسَتَمْلَأُنِي سُرُورًا مَعَ وَجْهِكَ.You have made known to me the paths of life; You will fill me with joy in Your presence.’

29أَيُّهَا ٱلرِّجَالُ ٱلْإِخْوَةُ، يَسُوغُ أَنْ يُقَالَ لَكُمْ جِهَارًا عَنْ رَئِيسِ ٱلْآبَاءِ دَاوُدَ إِنَّهُ مَاتَ وَدُفِنَ، وَقَبْرُهُ عِنْدَنَا حَتَّى هَذَا ٱلْيَوْمِ.Brothers, I can tell you with confidence that the patriarch David died and was buried, and his tomb is with us to this day.

30فَإِذْ كَانَ نَبِيًّا، وَعَلِمَ أَنَّ ٱللهَ حَلَفَ لَهُ بِقَسَمٍ أَنَّهُ مِنْ ثَمَرَةِ صُلْبِهِ يُقِيمُ ٱلْمَسِيحَ حَسَبَ ٱلْجَسَدِ لِيَجْلِسَ عَلَى كُرْسِيِّهِ،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.

31سَبَقَ فَرَأَى وَتَكَلَّمَ عَنْ قِيَامَةِ ٱلْمَسِيحِ، أَنَّهُ لَمْ تُتْرَكْ نَفْسُهُ فِي ٱلْهَاوِيَةِ وَلَا رَأَى جَسَدُهُ فَسَادًا.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 ٱللهُ، وَنَحْنُ جَمِيعًا شُهُودٌ لِذَلِكَ.God has raised this Jesus to life, to which we are all witnesses.

33وَإِذِ ٱرْتَفَعَ بِيَمِينِ ٱللهِ، وَأَخَذَ مَوْعِدَ ٱلرُّوحِ ٱلْقُدُسِ مِنَ ٱلْآبِ، سَكَبَ هَذَا ٱلَّذِي أَنْتُمُ ٱلْآنَ تُبْصِرُونَهُ وَتَسْمَعُونَهُ.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.

34لِأَنَّ دَاوُدَ لَمْ يَصْعَدْ إِلَى ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ. وَهُوَ نَفْسُهُ يَقُولُ: قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِرَبِّي: ٱجْلِسْ عَنْ يَمِينِيFor David did not ascend into heaven, but he himself says: ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at My right hand

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

36فَلْيَعْلَمْ يَقِينًا جَمِيعُ بَيْتِ إِسْرَائِيلَ أَنَّ ٱللهَ جَعَلَ يَسُوعَ هَذَا، ٱلَّذِي صَلَبْتُمُوهُ أَنْتُمْ، رَبًّا وَمَسِيحًا».Therefore let all Israel know with certainty that God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Christ!”

37فَلَمَّا سَمِعُوا نُخِسُوا فِي قُلُوبِهِمْ، وَقَالُوا لِبُطْرُسَ وَلِسَائِرِ ٱلرُّسُلِ: «مَاذَا نَصْنَعُ أَيُّهَا ٱلرِّجَالُ ٱلْإِخْوَةُ؟».When the people heard this, they were cut to the heart and asked Peter and the other apostles, “Brothers, what shall we do?”

38فَقَالَ لَهُمْ بُطْرُسُ: «تُوبُوا وَلْيَعْتَمِدْ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْكُمْ عَلَى ٱسْمِ يَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ لِغُفْرَانِ ٱلْخَطَايَا، فَتَقْبَلُوا عَطِيَّةَ ٱلرُّوحِ ٱلْقُدُسِ.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.

39لِأَنَّ ٱلْمَوْعِدَ هُوَ لَكُمْ وَلِأَوْلَادِكُمْ وَلِكُلِّ ٱلَّذِينَ عَلَى بُعْدٍ، كُلِّ مَنْ يَدْعُوهُ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُنَا».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.”

40وَبِأَقْوَالٍ أُخَرَ كَثِيرَةٍ كَانَ يَشْهَدُ لَهُمْ وَيَعِظُهُمْ قَائِلًا: «ٱخْلُصُوا مِنْ هَذَا ٱلْجِيلِ ٱلْمُلْتَوِي».With many other words he testified, and he urged them, “Be saved from this corrupt generation.”

41فَقَبِلُوا كَلَامَهُ بِفَرَحٍ، وَٱعْتَمَدُوا، وَٱنْضَمَّ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ نَحْوُ ثَلَاثَةِ آلَافِ نَفْسٍ.Those who embraced his message were baptized, and about three thousand were added to the believers that day.

42وَكَانُوا يُواظِبُونَ عَلَى تَعْلِيمِ ٱلرُّسُلِ، وَٱلشَّرِكَةِ، وَكَسْرِ ٱلْخُبْزِ، وَٱلصَّلَوَاتِ.They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer.

43وَصَارَ خَوْفٌ فِي كُلِّ نَفْسٍ. وَكَانَتْ عَجَائِبُ وَآيَاتٌ كَثِيرَةٌ تُجْرَى عَلَى أَيْدِي ٱلرُّسُلِ.A sense of awe came over everyone, and the apostles performed many wonders and signs.

44وَجَمِيعُ ٱلَّذِينَ آمَنُوا كَانُوا مَعًا، وَكَانَ عِنْدَهُمْ كُلُّ شَيْءٍ مُشْتَرَكًا.All the believers were together and had everything in common.

45وَٱلْأَمْلَاكُ وَٱلْمُقْتَنَيَاتُ كَانُوا يَبِيعُونَهَا وَيَقْسِمُونَهَا بَيْنَ ٱلْجَمِيعِ، كَمَا يَكُونُ لِكُلِّ وَاحِدٍ ٱحْتِيَاجٌ.Selling their possessions and goods, they shared with anyone who was in need.

46وَكَانُوا كُلَّ يَوْمٍ يُواظِبُونَ فِي ٱلْهَيْكَلِ بِنَفْسٍ وَاحِدَةٍ. وَإِذْ هُمْ يَكْسِرُونَ ٱلْخُبْزَ فِي ٱلْبُيُوتِ، كَانُوا يَتَنَاوَلُونَ ٱلطَّعَامَ بِٱبْتِهَاجٍ 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 ٱللهَ، وَلَهُمْ نِعْمَةٌ لَدَى جَمِيعِ ٱلشَّعْبِ. وَكَانَ ٱلرَّبُّ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ يَضُمُّ إِلَى ٱلْكَنِيسَةِ ٱلَّذِينَ يَخْلُصُونَ.praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved.
