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

¹And as they were speaking to the people, the priests and captain of the temple and the Sadducees came upon them,

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

²being distressed on account of their teaching the people and preaching by Jesus the resurrection from among [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 till the morrow; for it was already evening.

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

⁴But many of those who had heard the word believed; and the number of the men had become [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 at Jerusalem,

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

⁶and Annas the high priest, and Caiaphas, and John, and Alexander, and as many as were of [the] high priestly family;

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

⁷and having placed them in the midst they inquired, In 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 to them, Rulers of the people and elders [of Israel],

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

⁹if *we* this day are called upon to answer as to the good deed [done] to the infirm man, how *he* has been healed,

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 to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that in the name of Jesus Christ the Nazaraean, whom *ye* have crucified, whom God has raised from among [the] dead, by *him* this [man] stands here before you sound [in body].

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

¹¹*He* is the stone which has been set at nought by you the builders, which is become the corner stone.

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

¹²And salvation is in none other, for neither is there another name under heaven which is given among men by which we must be saved.

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

¹³But seeing the boldness of Peter and John, and perceiving that they were unlettered and uninstructed men, they wondered; and they recognised them that they were with Jesus.

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

¹⁴And beholding the man who had been healed standing with them, they had nothing to reply;

¹⁵‎فامروهما ان يخرجا الى خارج المجمع وتآمروا فيما بينهم

¹⁵but having commanded them to go out of the council they conferred with one another,

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 an evident sign has come to pass through their means is manifest to all that inhabit 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 be not further spread among the people, let us threaten them severely no longer to speak to any man in this name.

¹⁸‎فدعوهما واوصوهما ان لا ينطقا البتة ولا يعلّما باسم يسوع

¹⁸And having called them, they 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 answering said to them, If it be righteous before God to listen to you rather than to God, judge ye;

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

²⁰for as for us *we* cannot refrain from speaking of the things which we have seen and heard.

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

²¹But they, having further threatened them, let them go, finding no way how they might punish them, on account of the people, because all glorified God for what had taken place;

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

²²for the man on whom this sign of healing had taken place was above forty years old.

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

²³And having been let go, they came to their own [company], and reported all that the chief priests and elders had said to them.

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

²⁴And they, having heard [it], lifted up [their] voice with one accord to God, and said, Lord, *thou* art the God who made the heaven and the earth and the sea, and all that is in them;

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

²⁵who hast said by the mouth of thy servant David, Why have [the] nations raged haughtily and [the] peoples meditated vain things?

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

²⁶The kings of the earth were there, and the rulers were gathered together against the Lord and against his Christ.

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

²⁷For in truth against thy holy servant Jesus, whom thou hadst anointed, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, with [the] nations, and peoples of Israel, have been gathered together in this city

²⁸ليفعلوا كل ما سبقت فعيّنت يدك ومشورتك ان يكون‏‎.

²⁸to do whatever thy hand and thy counsel had determined before should come to pass.

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

²⁹And now, Lord, look upon their threatenings, and give to thy bondmen with all boldness to speak thy word,

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

³⁰in that thou stretchest out thy hand to heal, and that signs and wonders take place 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 in which they were assembled shook, and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and spoke 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 heart and soul of the multitude of those that had believed were one, and not one said that anything of what he possessed was his own, but all things were common to them;

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

³³and with great power did the apostles give 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 any one in want among them; for as many as were owners of lands or houses, selling them, brought the price of what was sold

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

³⁵and laid it at the feet of the apostles; and distribution was made to each according as any one might have need.

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

³⁶And Joseph, who had been surnamed Barnabas by the apostles (which is, being interpreted, Son of consolation), a Levite, Cyprian by birth,

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

³⁷being possessed of land, having sold [it], brought the money and laid it at the feet of the apostles.
