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

¹And he came also to Derbe and to Lystra: and behold, a certain disciple was there, named Timothy, the son of a Jewess that believed; but his father was a Greek.

²‎وكان مشهودا له من الاخوة الذين في لسترة وايقونية‎.

²The same was well reported of by the brethren that were at 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.

³Him would Paul have to go forth with him; and he took and circumcised him because of the Jews that were in those parts: for they all knew that his father was a Greek.

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

⁴And as they went on their way through the cities, they delivered them the decrees to keep which had been ordained of the apostles and elders that were at Jerusalem.

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

⁵So the churches were strengthened in the faith, and increased in number daily.

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

⁶And they went through the region of Phrygia and Galatia, having been forbidden of the Holy Spirit to speak the word in Asia;

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

⁷and when they were come over against Mysia, they assayed to go into Bithynia; and the Spirit of Jesus suffered them not;

⁸‎فمروا على ميسيا وانحدروا الى ترواس‎.

⁸and passing 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 appeared to Paul in the night: There was a man of Macedonia standing, beseeching him, and saying, Come over into Macedonia, and help us.

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

¹⁰And when he had seen the vision, straightway we sought to go forth into Macedonia, concluding that God had called us to preach the gospel to them.

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

¹¹Setting sail therefore from Troas, we made a straight course to Samothrace, and the day following to Neapolis;

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

¹²and from thence to Philippi, which is a city of Macedonia, the first of the district, a [Roman] colony: and we were in this city tarrying certain days.

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

¹³And on the sabbath day we went forth without the gate by a river side, where we supposed there was a place of prayer; and we sat down, and spake unto the women that were come 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 named Lydia, a seller of purple of the city of Thyatira, one that worshipped God, heard us: whose heart the Lord opened to give heed unto the things which were 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 besought us, saying, If ye have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come into my house, and abide [there]. 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, as we were going to the place of prayer, that a certain maid having a spirit of divination met us, who brought her masters much gain by soothsaying.

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

¹⁷The same following after Paul and us cried out, saying, These men are servants of the Most High God, who proclaim unto you the 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 did for many days. But Paul, being sore troubled, turned and said to the spirit, I charge thee in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her. And it came out that very hour.

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

¹⁹But when her masters saw that the hope of their gain was gone, they laid hold on Paul and Silas, and dragged them into the marketplace before the rulers,

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

²⁰and when they had brought them unto the magistrates, they said, These men, being Jews, do exceedingly trouble our city,

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

²¹and set forth customs which it is not lawful for us to receive, or to observe, being Romans.

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

²²And the multitude rose up together against them: and the magistrates rent their garments off them, and commanded to beat them with rods.

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

²³And when they had laid many stripes upon them, they cast them into prison, charging the jailor to keep them safely:

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

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

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

²⁵But about midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns unto God, and the prisoners were listening to them;

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

²⁶and suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison-house were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened, and every one's 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, being roused out of sleep and seeing the prison doors open, drew his sword and was about to kill himself, supposing that the prisoners had escaped.

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

²⁸But Paul cried with a loud voice, saying, Do thyself no harm: for we are all here.

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

²⁹And he called for lights and sprang in, and, trembling for fear, fell down before Paul and Silas,

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

³⁰and brought them out and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved?

³¹‎فقالا آمن بالرب يسوع المسيح فتخلص انت واهل بيتك‎.

³¹And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus, and thou shalt be saved, thou and thy house.

³²‎وكلماه وجميع من في بيته بكلمة الرب‎.

³²And they spake the word of the Lord unto him, with all that were in his house.

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

³³And he took them the same hour of the night, and washed their stripes; and was baptized, he and all his, immediately.

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

³⁴And he brought them up into his house, and set food before them, and rejoiced greatly, with all his house, having believed in God.

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

³⁵But when it was day, the magistrates sent the sergeants, saying, Let those men go.

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

³⁶And the jailor reported the words to Paul, [saying], The magistrates have sent to let you go: now therefore come forth, and go 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.

³⁷But Paul said unto them, They have beaten us publicly, uncondemned, men that are Romans, and have cast us into prison; and do they now cast us out privily? Nay verily; but let them come themselves and bring us out.

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

³⁸And the sergeants reported these words unto the magistrates: and they feared when they heard that they were Romans;

³⁹‎فجاءوا وتضرعوا اليهما واخرجوهما وسألوهما ان يخرجا من المدينة.

³⁹and they came and besought them; and when they had brought them out, they asked them to go away from the city.

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

⁴⁰And they went out of the prison, and entered into [the house] of Lydia: and when they had seen the brethren, they comforted them, and departed.
