¹وبينما هما يخاطبان الشعب اقبل عليهما الكهنة وقائد جند الهيكل والصدوقيون

¹And as they spake unto the people, the priests and the captain of the temple and the Sadducees came upon them,

²متضجرين من تعليمهما الشعب وندائهما في يسوع بالقيامة من الاموات.

²being sore troubled because they taught the people, and proclaimed in Jesus the resurrection from the dead.

³فالقوا عليهما الايادي ووضعوهما في حبس الى الغد لانه كان قد صار المساء‎.

³And they laid hands on them, and put them in ward unto the morrow: for it was now eventide.

⁴‎وكثيرون من الذين سمعوا الكلمة آمنوا وصار عدد الرجال نحو خمسة آلاف

⁴But many of them that heard the word believed; and the number of the men came to be about five thousand.

⁵وحدث في الغد ان رؤساءهم وشيوخهم وكتبتهم اجتمعوا الى اورشليم

⁵And it came to pass on the morrow, that their rulers and elders and scribes were gathered together in Jerusalem;

⁶مع حنان رئيس الكهنة وقيافا ويوحنا والاسكندر وجميع الذين كانوا من عشيرة رؤساء الكهنة‎.

⁶and Annas the high priest [was there], and Caiaphas, and John, and Alexander, and as many as were of the kindred of the high priest.

⁷‎ولما اقاموهما في الوسط جعلوا يسألونهما باية قوة وباي اسم صنعتما انتما هذا‎.

⁷And when they had set them in the midst, they inquired, By what power, or in what name, have ye done this?

⁸‎حينئذ امتلأ بطرس من الروح القدس وقال لهم يا رؤساء الشعب وشيوخ اسرائيل

⁸Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said unto them, Ye rulers of the people, and elders,

⁹ان كنا نفحص اليوم عن احسان الى انسان سقيم بماذا شفي هذا

⁹if we this day are examined concerning a good deed done to an impotent man, by what means this man is made whole;

¹⁰فليكن معلوما عند جميعكم وجميع شعب اسرائيل انه باسم يسوع المسيح الناصري الذي صلبتموه انتم الذي اقامه الله من الاموات. بذاك وقف هذا امامكم صحيحا‎.

¹⁰be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, [even] in him doth this man stand here before you whole.

¹¹‎هذا هو الحجر الذي احتقرتموه ايها البناؤون الذي صار راس الزاوية.

¹¹He is the stone which was set at nought of you the builders, which was made the head of the corner.

¹²وليس باحد غيره الخلاص. لان ليس اسم آخر تحت السماء قد أعطي بين الناس به ينبغي ان نخلص

¹²And in none other is there salvation: for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, wherein we must be saved.

¹³فلما رأوا مجاهرة بطرس ويوحنا ووجدوا انهما انسانان عديما العلم وعاميّان تعجبوا. فعرفوهما انهما كانا مع يسوع‎.

¹³Now when they beheld the boldness of Peter and John, and had perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they marvelled; and they took knowledge of them, that they had been with Jesus.

¹⁴‎ولكن اذ نظروا الانسان الذي شفي واقفا معهما لم يكن لهم شيء يناقضون به‎.

¹⁴And seeing the man that was healed standing with them, they could say nothing against it.

¹⁵‎فامروهما ان يخرجا الى خارج المجمع وتآمروا فيما بينهم

¹⁵But when they had commanded them to go aside out of the council, they conferred among themselves,

¹⁶قائلين. ماذا نفعل بهذين الرجلين. لانه ظاهر لجميع سكان اورشليم ان آية معلومة قد جرت بايديهما ولا نقدر ان ننكر‏‎.

¹⁶saying, What shall we do to these men? for that indeed a notable miracle hath been wrought through them, is manifest to all that dwell in Jerusalem; and we cannot deny it.

¹⁷‎ولكن لئلا تشيع اكثر في الشعب لنهددهما تهديدا ان لا يكلما احدا من الناس فيما بعد بهذا الاسم‎.

¹⁷But that it spread no further among the people, let us threaten them, that they speak henceforth to no man in this name.

¹⁸‎فدعوهما واوصوهما ان لا ينطقا البتة ولا يعلّما باسم يسوع

¹⁸And they called them, and charged them not to speak at all nor teach in the name of Jesus.

¹⁹فاجابهم بطرس ويوحنا وقالا ان كان حقا امام الله ان نسمع لكم اكثر من الله فاحكموا‎.

¹⁹But Peter and John answered and said unto them, Whether it is right in the sight of God to hearken unto you rather than unto God, judge ye:

²⁰‎لاننا نحن لا يمكننا ان لا نتكلم بما رأينا وسمعنا‎.

²⁰for we cannot but speak the things which we saw and heard.

²¹‎وبعدما هددوهما ايضا اطلقوهما اذ لم يجدوا البتة كيف يعاقبونهما بسبب الشعب. لان الجميع كانوا يمجدون الله على ما جرى‎.

²¹And they, when they had further threatened them, let them go, finding nothing how they might punish them, because of the people; for all men glorified God for that which was done.

²²‎لان الانسان الذي صارت فيه آية الشفاء هذه كان له اكثر من اربعين سنة

²²For the man was more than forty years old, on whom this miracle of healing was wrought.

²³ولما اطلقا أتيا الى رفقائهما واخبراهم بكل ما قاله لهما رؤساء الكهنة والشيوخ‎.

²³And being let go, they came to their own company, and reported all that the chief priests and the elders had said unto them.

²⁴‎فلما سمعوا رفعوا بنفس واحدة صوتا الى الله وقالوا ايها السيد انت هو الاله الصانع السماء والارض والبحر وكل ما فيها‎.

²⁴And they, when they heard it, lifted up their voice to God with one accord, and said, O Lord, thou that didst make the heaven and the earth and the sea, and all that in them is:

²⁵‎القائل بفم داود فتاك لماذا ارتجّت الامم وتفكر الشعوب بالباطل‎.

²⁵who by the Holy Spirit, [by] the mouth of our father David thy servant, didst say, Why did the Gentiles rage, And the peoples imagine vain things?

²⁶‎قامت ملوك الارض واجتمع الرؤساء معا على الرب وعلى مسيحه‎.

²⁶The kings of the earth set themselves in array, And the rulers were gathered together, Against the Lord, and against his Anointed:

²⁷‎لانه بالحقيقة اجتمع على فتاك القدوس الذي مسحته هيرودس وبيلاطس البنطي مع امم وشعوب اسرائيل

²⁷for of a truth in this city against thy holy Servant Jesus, whom thou didst anoint, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles and the peoples of Israel, were gathered together,

²⁸ليفعلوا كل ما سبقت فعيّنت يدك ومشورتك ان يكون‏‎.

²⁸to do whatsoever thy hand and thy council foreordained to come to pass.

²⁹‎والآن يا رب انظر الى تهديداتهم وامنح عبيدك ان يتكلموا بكلامك بكل مجاهرة

²⁹And now, Lord, look upon their threatenings: and grant unto thy servants to speak thy word with all boldness,

³⁰بمد يدك للشفاء ولتجر آيات وعجائب باسم فتاك القدوس يسوع‎.

³⁰while thy stretchest forth thy hand to heal; and that signs and wonders may be done through the name of thy holy Servant Jesus.

³¹‎ولما صلّوا تزعزع المكان الذي كانوا مجتمعين فيه. وامتلأ الجميع من الروح القدس وكانوا يتكلمون بكلام الله بمجاهرة

³¹And when they had prayed, the place was shaken wherein they were gathered together; and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and they spake the word of God with boldness.

³²وكان لجمهور الذين آمنوا قلب واحد ونفس واحدة. ولم يكن احد يقول ان شيئا من امواله له بل كان عندهم كل شيء مشتركا‎.

³²And the multitude of them that believed were of one heart and soul: and not one [of them] said that aught of the things which he possessed was his own; but they had all things common.

³³‎وبقوة عظيمة كان الرسل يؤدون الشهادة بقيامة الرب يسوع ونعمة عظيمة كانت على جميعهم‎.

³³And with great power gave the apostles their witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and great grace was upon them all.

³⁴‎اذ لم يكن فيهم احد محتاجا لان كل الذين كانوا اصحاب حقول او بيوت كانوا يبيعونها ويأتون باثمان المبيعات

³⁴For neither was there among them any that lacked: for as many as were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the prices of the things that were sold,

³⁵ويضعونها عند ارجل الرسل فكان يوزع على كل واحد كما يكون له احتياج‎.

³⁵and laid them at the apostles' feet: and distribution was made unto each, according as any one had need.

³⁶‎ويوسف الذي دعي من الرسل برنابا الذي يترجم ابن الوعظ وهو لاوي قبرسي الجنس

³⁶And Joseph, who by the apostles was surnamed Barnabas (which is, being interpreted, Son of exhortation), a Levite, a man of Cyprus by race,

³⁷اذ كان له حقل باعه وأتى بالدراهم ووضعها عند ارجل الرسل

³⁷having a field, sold it, and brought the money and laid it at the apostles' feet.
