¹ولما انفصلنا عنهم اقلعنا وجئنا متوجهين بالاستقامة الى كوس وفي اليوم التالي الى رودس. ومن هناك الى باترا‎.

¹And when, having got away from them, we at last sailed away, we came by a direct course to Cos, and on the morrow to Rhodes, and thence to Patara.

²‎فاذ وجدنا سفينة عابرة الى فينيقية صعدنا اليها واقلعنا‎.

²And having found a ship passing over into Phoenicia, we went on board and sailed;

³‎ثم اطلعنا على قبرس وتركناها يسرة وسافرنا الى سورية واقبلنا الى صور لان هناك كانت السفينة تضع وسقها‎.

³and having sighted Cyprus, and left it on the left hand, we sailed to Syria, and made the land at Tyre, for there the ship was to discharge her cargo.

⁴‎واذ وجدنا التلاميذ مكثنا هناك سبعة ايام. وكانوا يقولون لبولس بالروح ان لا يصعد الى اورشليم‎.

⁴And having found out the disciples, we remained there seven days; who said to Paul by the Spirit not to go up to Jerusalem.

⁵‎ولكن لما استكملنا الايام خرجنا ذاهبين وهم جميعا يشيعوننا مع النساء والاولاد الى خارج المدينة. فجثونا على ركبنا على الشاطئ وصلّينا‎.

⁵But when we had completed the days, we set out and took our journey, all of them accompanying us, with wives and children, till [we were] out of the city. And kneeling down upon the shore we prayed.

⁶‎ولما ودعنا بعضنا بعضا صعدنا الى السفينة. واما هم فرجعوا الى خاصتهم

⁶And having embraced one another, we went on board ship, and they returned home.

⁷ولما اكملنا السفر في البحر من صور اقبلنا الى بتولمايس فسلمنا على الاخوة ومكثنا عندهم يوما واحدا‎.

⁷And we, having completed the voyage, arrived from Tyre at Ptolemais, and having saluted the brethren, we remained one day with them.

⁸‎ثم خرجنا في الغد نحن رفقاء بولس وجئنا الى قيصرية فدخلنا بيت فيلبس المبشر اذ كان واحدا من السبعة واقمنا عنده‎.

⁸And leaving on the morrow, we came to Caesarea; and entering into the house of Philip the evangelist, who was of the seven, we abode with him.

⁹‎وكان لهذا اربع بنات عذارى كنّ يتنبأن‎.

⁹Now this man had four virgin daughters who prophesied.

¹⁰‎وبينما نحن مقيمون اياما كثيرة انحدر من اليهودية نبي اسمه اغابوس‎.

¹⁰And as we stayed there many days, a certain man, by name Agabus, a prophet, came down from Judaea,

¹¹‎فجاء الينا واخذ منطقة بولس وربط يدي نفسه ورجليه وقال هذا يقوله الروح القدس. الرجل الذي له هذه المنطقة هكذا سيربطه اليهود في اورشليم ويسلمونه الى ايدي الامم‎.

¹¹and coming to us and taking the girdle of Paul, and having bound his own hands and feet, said, Thus saith the Holy Spirit, The man whose this girdle is shall the Jews thus bind in Jerusalem, and deliver him up into the hands of [the] Gentiles.

¹²‎فلما سمعنا هذا طلبنا اليه نحن والذين من المكان ان لا يصعد الى اورشليم‎.

¹²And when we heard these things, both we and those of the place besought [him] not to go up to Jerusalem.

¹³‎فاجاب بولس ماذا تفعلون تبكون وتكسرون قلبي لاني مستعد ليس ان أربط فقط بل ان اموت ايضا في اورشليم لاجل اسم الرب يسوع‎.

¹³But Paul answered, What do ye, weeping and breaking my heart? for *I* am ready not only to be bound, but also to die at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus.

¹⁴‎ولما لم يقنع سكتنا قائلين لتكن مشيئة الرب‎.

¹⁴And when he would not be persuaded, we were silent, saying, The will of the Lord be done.

¹⁵‎وبعد تلك الايام تأهبنا وصعدنا الى اورشليم‎.

¹⁵And after these days, having got our effects ready, we went up to Jerusalem.

¹⁶‎وجاء ايضا معنا من قيصرية اناس من التلاميذ ذاهبين بنا الى مناسون وهو رجل قبرسي تلميذ قديم لننزل عنده

¹⁶And [some] of the disciples from Caesarea went with us, bringing [with them] a certain Mnason, a Cyprian, an old disciple, with whom we were to lodge.

¹⁷ولما وصلنا الى اورشليم قبلنا الاخوة بفرح‎.

¹⁷And when we arrived at Jerusalem the brethren gladly received us.

¹⁸‎وفي الغد دخل بولس معنا الى يعقوب وحضر جميع المشايخ‎.

¹⁸And on the morrow Paul went in with us to James, and all the elders came there.

¹⁹‎فبعدما سلم عليهم طفق يحدثهم شيئا فشيئا بكل ما فعله الله بين الامم بواسطة خدمته‎.

¹⁹And having saluted them, he related one by one the things which God had wrought among the nations by his ministry.

²⁰‎فلما سمعوا كانوا يمجدون الرب. وقالوا له انت ترى ايها الاخ كم يوجد ربوة من اليهود الذين آمنوا وهم جميعا غيورون للناموس‎.

²⁰And they having heard [it] glorified God, and said to him, Thou seest, brother, how many myriads there are of the Jews who have believed, and all are zealous of the law.

²¹‎وقد أخبروا عنك انك تعلّم جميع اليهود الذين بين الامم الارتداد عن موسى قائلا ان لا يختنوا اولادهم ولا يسلكوا حسب العوائد‎.

²¹And they have been informed concerning thee, that thou teachest all the Jews among the nations apostasy from Moses, saying that they should not circumcise their children, nor walk in the customs.

²²‎فاذا ماذا يكون. لا بد على كل حال ان يجتمع الجمهور لانهم سيسمعون انك قد جئت‎.

²²What is it then? a multitude must necessarily come together, for they will hear that thou art come.

²³‎فافعل هذا الذي نقول لك. عندنا اربعة رجال عليهم نذر‎.

²³This do therefore that we say to thee: We have four men who have a vow on them;

²⁴‎خذ هؤلاء وتطهر معهم وانفق عليهم ليحلقوا رؤوسهم فيعلم الجميع ان ليس شيء مما أخبروا عنك بل تسلك انت ايضا حافظا للناموس‎.

²⁴take these and be purified with them, and pay their expenses, that they may have their heads shaved; and all will know that [of those things] of which they have been informed about thee nothing is [true]; but that thou thyself also walkest orderly, keeping the law.

²⁵‎واما من جهة الذين آمنوا من الامم فارسلنا نحن اليهم وحكمنا ان لا يحفظوا شيئا مثل ذلك سوى ان يحافظوا على انفسهم مما ذبح للاصنام ومن الدم والمخنوق والزنى‎.

²⁵But concerning [those of] the nations who have believed, we have written, deciding that they should [observe no such thing, only to] keep themselves both from things offered to idols, and from blood, and from things strangled, and from fornication.

²⁶‎حينئذ اخذ بولس الرجال في الغد وتطهر معهم ودخل الهيكل مخبرا بكمال ايام التطهير الى ان يقرب عن كل واحد منهم القربان

²⁶Then Paul, taking the men, on the next day, having been purified, entered with them into the temple, signifying the time the days of the purification would be fulfilled, until the offering was offered for every one of them.

²⁷ولما قاربت الايام السبعة ان تتم رآه اليهود الذين من اسيا في الهيكل فاهاجوا كل الجمع والقوا عليه الايادي

²⁷And when the seven days were nearly completed, the Jews from Asia, having seen him in the temple, set all the crowd in a tumult, and laid hands upon him,

²⁸صارخين يا ايها الرجال الاسرائيليون اعينوا. هذا هو الرجل الذي يعلّم الجميع في كل مكان ضدا للشعب والناموس وهذا الموضع حتى ادخل يونانيين ايضا الى الهيكل ودنس هذا الموضع المقدس‎.

²⁸crying, Israelites, help! this is the man who teaches all everywhere against the people, and the law, and this place, and has brought Greeks too into the temple, and profaned this holy place.

²⁹‎لانهم كانوا قد رأوا معه في المدينة تروفيمس الافسسي فكانوا يظنون ان بولس ادخله الى الهيكل‎.

²⁹For they had before seen Trophimus the Ephesian with him in the city, whom they supposed that Paul had brought into the temple.

³⁰‎فهاجت المدينة كلها وتراكض الشعب وامسكوا بولس وجروه خارج الهيكل وللوقت اغلقت الابواب‎.

³⁰And the whole city was moved, and there was a concourse of the people; and having laid hold on Paul they drew him out of the temple, and immediately the doors were shut.

³¹‎وبينما هم يطلبون ان يقتلوه نما خبر الى امير الكتيبة ان اورشليم كلها اضطربت‎.

³¹And as they were seeking to kill him, a representation came to the chiliarch of the band that the whole of Jerusalem was in a tumult;

³²‎فللوقت اخذ عسكرا وقواد مئات وركض اليهم. فلما رأوا الامير والعسكر كفوا عن ضرب بولس

³²who, taking with him immediately soldiers and centurions, ran down upon them. But they, seeing the chiliarch and the soldiers, ceased beating Paul.

³³حينئذ اقترب الامير وامسكه وامر ان يقيد بسلسلتين وطفق يستخبر ترى من يكون وماذا فعل‎.

³³Then the chiliarch came up and laid hold upon him, and commanded [him] to be bound with two chains, and inquired who he might be, and what he had done.

³⁴‎وكان البعض يصرخون بشيء والبعض بشيء آخر في الجمع. ولما لم يقدر ان يعلم اليقين لسبب الشغب امر ان يذهب به الى المعسكر‎.

³⁴And different persons cried some different thing in the crowd. But he, not being able to know the certainty on account of the uproar, commanded him to be brought into the fortress.

³⁵‎ولما صار على الدرج اتفق ان العسكر حمله بسبب عنف الجمع‎.

³⁵But when he got upon the stairs it was so that he was borne by the soldiers on account of the violence of the crowd.

³⁶‎لان جمهور الشعب كانوا يتبعونه صارخين خذه

³⁶For the multitude of the people followed, crying, Away with him.

³⁷واذ قارب بولس ان يدخل المعسكر قال للامير ايجوز لي ان اقول لك شيئا. فقال أتعرف اليونانية‏‎.

³⁷But as he was about to be led into the fortress, Paul says to the chiliarch, Is it allowed me to say something to thee? And he said, Dost thou know Greek?

³⁸‎أفلست انت المصري الذي صنع قبل هذه الايام فتنة واخرج الى البرية اربعة الآلاف الرجل من القتلة‎.

³⁸Thou art not then that Egyptian who before these days raised a sedition and led out into the wilderness the four thousand men of the assassins?

³⁹‎فقال بولس انا رجل يهودي طرسوسي من اهل مدينة غير دنية من كيليكية. والتمس منك ان تأذن لي ان اكلم الشعب‎.

³⁹But Paul said, *I* am a Jew of Tarsus, citizen of no insignificant city of Cilicia, and I beseech of thee, allow me to speak to the people.

⁴⁰‎فلما اذن له وقف بولس على الدرج واشار بيده الى الشعب. فصار سكوت عظيم. فنادى باللغة العبرانية قائلا

⁴⁰And when he had allowed him, Paul, standing on the stairs, beckoned with his hand to the people; and a great silence having been made, he addressed them in the Hebrew tongue, saying,
