¹ثم وصل الى دربة ولسترة واذا تلميذ كان هناك اسمه تيموثاوس ابن امرأة يهودية مؤمنة ولكن اباه يوناني‎.

¹And he came to Derbe and Lystra, and lo, a certain disciple was there, by name Timotheus son of a certain woman, a believing Jewess, but of a father, a Greek,

²‎وكان مشهودا له من الاخوة الذين في لسترة وايقونية‎.

²who was well testified to by the brethren in Lystra and Iconium;

³‎فاراد بولس ان يخرج هذا معه فاخذه وختنه من اجل اليهود الذين في تلك الاماكن لان الجميع كانوا يعرفون اباه انه يوناني‎.

³this one did Paul wish to go forth with him, and having taken [him], he circumcised him, because of the Jews who are in those places, for they all knew his father — that he was a Greek.

⁴‎واذ كانوا يجتازون في المدن كانوا يسلمونهم القضايا التي حكم بها الرسل والمشايخ الذين في اورشليم ليحفظوها‎.

⁴And as they were going on through the cities, they were delivering to them the decrees to keep, that have been judged by the apostles and the elders who [are] in Jerusalem,

⁵‎فكانت الكنائس تتشدد في الايمان وتزداد في العدد كل يوم‎.

⁵then, indeed, were the assemblies established in the faith, and were abounding in number every day;

⁶‎وبعدما اجتازوا في فريجية وكورة غلاطية منعهم الروح القدس ان يتكلموا بالكلمة في اسيا‎.

⁶and having gone through Phrygia and the region of Galatia, having been forbidden by the Holy Spirit to speak the word in Asia,

⁷‎فلما أتوا الى ميسيا حاولوا ان يذهبوا الى بيثينية فلم يدعهم الروح‎.

⁷having gone toward Mysia, they were trying to go on toward Bithynia, and the Spirit did not suffer them,

⁸‎فمروا على ميسيا وانحدروا الى ترواس‎.

⁸and having passed by Mysia, they came down to Troas.

⁹‎وظهرت لبولس رؤيا في الليل رجل مكدوني قائم يطلب اليه ويقول اعبر الى مكدونية وأعنا‎.

⁹And a vision through the night appeared to Paul — a certain man of Macedonia was standing, calling upon him, and saying, `Having passed through to Macedonia, help us;` —

¹⁰‎فلما رأى الرؤيا للوقت طلبنا ان نخرج الى مكدونية متحققين ان الرب قد دعانا لنبشرهم

¹⁰and when he saw the vision, immediately we endeavoured to go forth to Macedonia, assuredly gathering that the Lord hath called us to preach good news to them,

¹¹فاقلعنا من ترواس وتوجهنا بالاستقامة الى ساموثراكي وفي الغد الى نيابوليس‎.

¹¹having set sail, therefore, from Troas, we came with a straight course to Samothracia, on the morrow also to Neapolis,

¹²‎ومن هناك الى فيلبي التي هي اول مدينة من مقاطعة مكدونية وهي كولونية. فاقمنا في هذه المدينة اياما‎.

¹²thence also to Philippi, which is a principal city of the part of Macedonia — a colony. And we were in this city abiding certain days,

¹³‎وفي يوم السبت خرجنا الى خارج المدينة عند نهر حيث جرت العادة ان تكون صلاة فجلسنا وكنا نكلم النساء اللواتي اجتمعن‎.

¹³on the sabbath-day also we went forth outside of the city, by a river, where there used to be prayer, and having sat down, we were speaking to the women who came together,

¹⁴‎فكانت تسمع امرأة اسمها ليدية بياعة ارجوان من مدينة ثياتيرا متعبدة لله ففتح الرب قلبها لتصغي الى ما كان يقوله بولس‎.

¹⁴and a certain woman, by name Lydia, a seller of purple, of the city of Thyatira, worshipping God, was hearing, whose heart the Lord did open to attend to the things spoken by Paul;

¹⁵‎فلما اعتمدت هي واهل بيتها طلبت قائلة ان كنتم قد حكمتم اني مؤمنة بالرب فادخلوا بيتي وامكثوا. فالزمتنا

¹⁵and when she was baptized, and her household, she did call upon us, saying, `If ye have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, having entered into my house, remain;` and she constrained us.

¹⁶وحدث بينما كنا ذاهبين الى الصلاة ان جارية بها روح عرافة استقبلتنا. وكانت تكسب مواليها مكسبا كثيرا بعرافتها‎.

¹⁶And it came to pass in our going on to prayer, a certain maid, having a spirit of Python, did meet us, who brought much employment to her masters by soothsaying,

¹⁷‎هذه اتبعت بولس وإيانا وصرخت قائلة هؤلاء الناس هم عبيد الله العلي الذين ينادون لكم بطريق الخلاص‎.

¹⁷she having followed Paul and us, was crying, saying, `These men are servants of the Most High God, who declare to us a way of salvation;`

¹⁸‎وكانت تفعل هذا اياما كثيرة. فضجر بولس والتفت الى الروح وقال انا آمرك باسم يسوع المسيح ان تخرج منها. فخرج في تلك الساعة

¹⁸and this she was doing for many days, but Paul having been grieved, and having turned, said to the spirit, `I command thee, in the name of Jesus Christ, to come forth from her;` and it came forth the same hour.

¹⁹فلما رأى مواليها انه قد خرج رجاء مكسبهم امسكوا بولس وسيلا وجروهما الى السوق الى الحكام‎.

¹⁹And her masters having seen that the hope of their employment was gone, having caught Paul and Silas, drew [them] to the market-place, unto the rulers,

²⁰‎واذ أتوا بهما الى الولاة قالوا هذان الرجلان يبلبلان مدينتنا وهما يهوديان

²⁰and having brought them to the magistrates, they said, `These men do exceedingly trouble our city, being Jews;

²¹ويناديان بعوائد لا يجوز لنا ان نقبلها ولا نعمل بها اذ نحن رومانيون‎.

²¹and they proclaim customs that are not lawful for us to receive nor to do, being Romans.`

²²‎فقام الجمع معا عليهما ومزق الولاة ثيابهما وامروا ان يضربا بالعصي‎.

²²And the multitude rose up together against them, and the magistrates having torn their garments from them, were commanding to beat [them] with rods,

²³‎فوضعوا عليهما ضربات كثيرة والقوهما في السجن واوصوا حافظ السجن ان يحرسهما بضبط‎.

²³many blows also having laid upon them, they cast them to prison, having given charge to the jailor to keep them safely,

²⁴‎وهو اذ اخذ وصية مثل هذه القاهما في السجن الداخلي وضبط ارجلهما في المقطرة

²⁴who such a charge having received, did put them to the inner prison, and their feet made fast in the stocks.

²⁵ونحو نصف الليل كان بولس وسيلا يصلّيان ويسبحان الله والمسجونون يسمعونهما‎.

²⁵And at midnight Paul and Silas praying, were singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were hearing them,

²⁶‎فحدث بغتة زلزلة عظيمة حتى تزعزعت اساسات السجن. فانفتحت في الحال الابواب كلها وانفكت قيود الجميع‎.

²⁶and suddenly a great earthquake came, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken, opened also presently were all the doors, and of all — the bands were loosed;

²⁷‎ولما استيقظ حافظ السجن ورأى ابواب السجن مفتوحة استل سيفه وكان مزمعا ان يقتل نفسه ظانا ان المسجونين قد هربوا‎.

²⁷and the jailor having come out of sleep, and having seen the doors of the prison open, having drawn a sword, was about to kill himself, supposing the prisoners to be fled,

²⁸‎فنادى بولس بصوت عظيم قائلا لا تفعل بنفسك شيئا رديّا لان جميعنا ههنا‎.

²⁸and Paul cried out with a loud voice, saying, `Thou mayest not do thyself any harm, for we are all here.`

²⁹‎فطلب ضوءا واندفع الى داخل وخرّ لبولس وسيلا وهو مرتعد‎.

²⁹And, having asked for a light, he sprang in, and trembling he fell down before Paul and Silas,

³⁰‎ثم اخرجهما وقال يا سيدي ماذا ينبغي ان افعل لكي اخلص‎.

³⁰and having brought them forth, said, `Sirs, what must I do — that I may be saved?`

³¹‎فقالا آمن بالرب يسوع المسيح فتخلص انت واهل بيتك‎.

³¹and they said, `Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved — thou and thy house;`

³²‎وكلماه وجميع من في بيته بكلمة الرب‎.

³²and they spake to him the word of the Lord, and to all those in his household;

³³‎فاخذهما في تلك الساعة من الليل وغسلهما من الجراحات واعتمد في الحال هو والذين له اجمعون‎.

³³and having taken them, in that hour of the night, he did bathe [them] from the blows, and was baptized, himself and all his presently,

³⁴‎ولما اصعدهما الى بيته قدم لهما مائدة وتهلل مع جميع بيته اذ كان قد آمن بالله

³⁴having brought them also into his house, he set food before [them], and was glad with all the household, he having believed in God.

³⁵ولما صار النهار ارسل الولاة الجلادين قائلين اطلق ذينك الرجلين‎.

³⁵And day having come, the magistrates sent the rod-bearers, saying, `Let those men go;`

³⁶‎فاخبر حافظ السجن بولس بهذا الكلام ان الولاة قد ارسلوا ان تطلقا فاخرجا الآن واذهبا بسلام‎.

³⁶and the jailor told these words unto Paul — `The magistrates have sent, that ye may be let go; now, therefore, having gone forth go on in peace;`

³⁷‎فقال لهم بولس ضربونا جهرا غير مقضي علينا ونحن رجلان رومانيان وألقونا في السجن. أفالآن يطردوننا سرّا. كلا. بل ليأتوا هم انفسهم ويخرجونا‎.

³⁷and Paul said to them, `Having beaten us publicly uncondemned — men, Romans being — they did cast [us] to prison, and now privately do they cast us forth! why no! but having come themselves, let them bring us forth.`

³⁸‎فاخبر الجلادون الولاة بهذا الكلام فاختشوا لما سمعوا انهما رومانيان‎.

³⁸And the rod-bearers told to the magistrates these sayings, and they were afraid, having heard that they are Romans,

³⁹‎فجاءوا وتضرعوا اليهما واخرجوهما وسألوهما ان يخرجا من المدينة.

³⁹and having come, they besought them, and having brought [them] forth, they were asking [them] to go forth from the city;

⁴⁰فخرجا من السجن ودخلا عند ليدية فابصرا الاخوة وعزياهم ثم خرجا

⁴⁰and they, having gone forth out of the prison, entered into [the house of] Lydia, and having seen the brethren, they comforted them, and went forth.
