¹وحدث في ايقونية انهما دخلا معا الى مجمع اليهود وتكلما حتى آمن جمهور كثير من اليهود واليونانيين‎.

¹It happened in Iconium that they entered together into the synagogue of the Jews, and so spoke that a great multitude both of Jews and of Greeks believed.

²‎ولكن اليهود غير المؤمنين غرّوا وافسدوا نفوس الامم على الاخوة.

²But the disbelieving or, disobedient Jews stirred up and embittered the souls of the Gentiles against the brothers.

³فاقاما زمانا طويلا يجاهران بالرب الذي كان يشهد لكلمة نعمته ويعطي ان تجرى آيات وعجائب على ايديهما‎.

³Therefore they stayed there a long time, speaking boldly in the Lord, who testified to the word of his grace, granting signs and wonders to be done by their hands.

⁴‎فانشق جمهور المدينة فكان بعضهم مع اليهود وبعضهم مع الرسولين‎.

⁴But the multitude of the city was divided. Part sided with the Jews, and part with the apostles.

⁵‎فلما حصل من الامم واليهود مع رؤسائهم هجوم ليبغوا عليهما ويرجموهما

⁵When some of both the Gentiles and the Jews, with their rulers, made a violent attempt to mistreat and stone them,

⁶شعرا به فهربا الى مدينتي ليكأونية لسترة ودربه والى الكورة المحيطة‎.

⁶they became aware of it, and fled to the cities of Lycaonia, Lystra, Derbe, and the surrounding region.

⁷‎وكانا هناك يبشران

⁷There they preached the Good News.

⁸وكان يجلس في لسترة رجل عاجز الرجلين مقعد من بطن امه ولم يمش قط.

⁸At Lystra a certain man sat, impotent in his feet, a cripple from his mother’s womb, who never had walked.

⁹هذا كان يسمع بولس يتكلم. فشخص اليه واذ رأى ان له ايمانا ليشفى

⁹He was listening to Paul speaking, who, fastening eyes on him, and seeing that he had faith to be made whole,

¹⁰قال بصوت عظيم قم على رجليك منتصبا. فوثب وصار يمشي‎.

¹⁰said with a loud voice, “Stand upright on your feet!” He leaped up and walked.

¹¹‎فالجموع لما رأوا ما فعل بولس رفعوا صوتهم بلغة ليكأونية قائلين ان الآلهة تشبهوا بالناس ونزلوا الينا‎.

¹¹When the multitude saw what Paul had done, they lifted up their voice, saying in the language of Lycaonia, “The gods have come down to us in the likeness of men!”

¹²‎فكانوا يدعون برنابا زفس وبولس هرمس اذ كان هو المتقدم في الكلام‎.

¹²They called Barnabas “Jupiter,” and Paul “Mercury,” because he was the chief speaker.

¹³‎فأتى كاهن زفس الذي كان قدام المدينة بثيران واكاليل عند الابواب مع الجموع وكان يريد ان يذبح‎.

¹³The priest of Jupiter, whose temple was in front of their city, brought oxen and garlands to the gates, and would have made a sacrifice along with the multitudes.

¹⁴‎فلما سمع الرسولان برنابا وبولس مزقا ثيابهما واندفعا الى الجمع صارخين

¹⁴But when the apostles, Barnabas and Paul, heard of it, they tore their clothes, and sprang into the multitude, crying out,

¹⁵وقائلين ايها الرجال لماذا تفعلون هذا. نحن ايضا بشر تحت آلام مثلكم نبشركم ان ترجعوا من هذه الاباطيل الى الاله الحي الذي خلق السماء والارض والبحر وكل ما فيها‎.

¹⁵“Men, why are you doing these things? We also are men of like passions with you, and bring you good news, that you should turn from these vain things to the living God, who made the sky and the earth and the sea, and all that is in them;

¹⁶‎الذي في الاجيال الماضية ترك جميع الامم يسلكون في طرقهم‎.

¹⁶who in the generations gone by allowed all the nations to walk in their own ways.

¹⁷‎مع انه لم يترك نفسه بلا شاهد وهو يفعل خيرا يعطينا من السماء امطارا وازمنة مثمرة ويملأ قلوبنا طعاما وسرورا‎.

¹⁷Yet he didn’t leave himself without witness, in that he did good and gave you TR reads “us” instead of “you” rains from the sky and fruitful seasons, filling our hearts with food and gladness.”

¹⁸‎وبقولهما هذا كفّا الجموع بالجهد عن ان يذبحوا لهما‏‎.

¹⁸Even saying these things, they hardly stopped the multitudes from making a sacrifice to them.

¹⁹‎ثم أتى يهود من انطاكية وايقونيه واقنعوا الجموع فرجموا بولس وجروه خارج المدينة ظانين انه قد مات‎.

¹⁹But some Jews from Antioch and Iconium came there, and having persuaded the multitudes, they stoned Paul, and dragged him out of the city, supposing that he was dead.

²⁰‎ولكن اذ احاط به التلاميذ قام ودخل المدينة وفي الغد خرج مع برنابا الى دربة‎.

²⁰But as the disciples stood around him, he rose up, and entered into the city. On the next day he went out with Barnabas to Derbe.

²¹‎فبشرا في تلك المدينة وتلمذا كثيرين. ثم رجعا الى لسترة وايقونية وانطاكية

²¹When they had preached the Good News to that city, and had made many disciples, they returned to Lystra, Iconium, and Antioch,

²²يشددان انفس التلاميذ ويعظانهم ان يثبتوا في الايمان وانه بضيقات كثيرة ينبغي ان ندخل ملكوت الله

²²confirming the souls of the disciples, exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that through many afflictions we must enter into the Kingdom of God.

²³وانتخبا لهم قسوسا في كل كنيسة ثم صلّيا باصوام واستودعاهم للرب الذي كانوا قد آمنوا به‎.

²³When they had appointed elders for them in every assembly, and had prayed with fasting, they commended them to the Lord, on whom they had believed.

²⁴‎ولما اجتازا في بيسيدية أتيا الى بمفيلية‎.

²⁴They passed through Pisidia, and came to Pamphylia.

²⁵‎وتكلما بالكلمة في برجة ثم نزلا الى اتالية‎.

²⁵When they had spoken the word in Perga, they went down to Attalia.

²⁶‎ومن هناك سافرا في البحر الى انطاكية حيث كانا قد أسلما الى نعمة الله للعمل الذي اكملاه‎.

²⁶From there they sailed to Antioch, from where they had been committed to the grace of God for the work which they had fulfilled.

²⁷‎ولما حضرا وجمعا الكنيسة اخبرا بكل ما صنع الله معهما وانه فتح للامم باب الايمان‎.

²⁷When they had arrived, and had gathered the assembly together, they reported all the things that God had done with them, and that he had opened a door of faith to the nations.

²⁸‎واقاما هناك زمانا ليس بقليل مع التلاميذ

²⁸They stayed there with the disciples for a long time.
