1ولما حضر يوم الخمسين كان الجميع معا بنفس واحدة.
1Now when the day of Pentecost had come, they were all with one accord in one place.
2وصار بغتة من السماء صوت كما من هبوب ريح عاصفة وملأ كل البيت حيث كانوا جالسين.
2Suddenly there came from the sky a sound like the rushing of a mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.
3وظهرت لهم ألسنة منقسمة كانها من نار واستقرت على كل واحد منهم.
3Tongues like fire appeared and were distributed to them, and one sat on each of them.
4وامتلأ الجميع من الروح القدس وابتدأوا يتكلمون بألسنة اخرى كما اعطاهم الروح ان ينطقوا
4They were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and began to speak with other languages, as the Spirit gave them the ability to speak.
5وكان يهود رجال اتقياء من كل امة تحت السماء ساكنين في اورشليم.
5Now there were dwelling in Jerusalem Jews, devout men, from every nation under the sky.
6فلما صار هذا الصوت اجتمع الجمهور وتحيّروا لان كل واحد كان يسمعهم يتكلمون بلغته.
6When this sound was heard, the multitude came together, and were bewildered, because everyone heard them speaking in his own language.
7فبهت الجميع وتعجبوا قائلين بعضهم لبعض أترى ليس جميع هؤلاء المتكلمين جليليين.
7They were all amazed and marveled, saying to one another, “Behold, aren’t all these who speak Galileans?
8فكيف نسمع نحن كل واحد منا لغته التي ولد فيها.
8How do we hear, everyone in our own native language?
9فرتيون وماديون وعيلاميون والساكنون ما بين النهرين واليهودية وكبدوكية وبنتس واسيا
9Parthians, Medes, Elamites, and people from Mesopotamia, Judea, Cappadocia, Pontus, Asia,
10وفريجية وبمفيلية ومصر ونواحي ليبية التي نحو القيروان والرومانيون المستوطنون يهود ودخلاء
10Phrygia, Pamphylia, Egypt, the parts of Libya around Cyrene, visitors from Rome, both Jews and proselytes,
11كريتيون وعرب نسمعهم يتكلمون بألسنتنا بعظائم الله.
11Cretans and Arabians: we hear them speaking in our languages the mighty works of God!”
12فتحيّر الجميع وارتابوا قائلين بعضهم لبعض ما عسى ان يكون هذا.
12They were all amazed, and were perplexed, saying one to another, “What does this mean?”
13وكان آخرون يستهزئون قائلين انهم قد امتلأوا سلافة
13Others, mocking, said, “They are filled with new wine.”
14فوقف بطرس مع الاحد عشر ورفع صوته وقال لهم ايها الرجال اليهود والساكنون في اورشليم اجمعون ليكن هذا معلوما عندكم واصغوا الى كلامي.
14But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and spoke out to them, “You men of Judea, and all you who dwell at Jerusalem, let this be known to you, and listen to my words.
15لان هؤلاء ليسوا سكارى كما انتم تظنون. لانها الساعة الثالثة من النهار.
15For these aren’t drunken, as you suppose, seeing it is only the third hour of the day about 9:00 AM .
16بل هذا ما قيل بيوئيل النبي.
16But this is what has been spoken through the prophet Joel:
17يقول الله ويكون في الايام الاخيرة اني اسكب من روحي على كل بشر فيتنبأ بنوكم وبناتكم ويرى شبابكم رؤى ويحلم شيوخكم احلاما.
17‘It will be in the last days, says God, that I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh. Your sons and your daughters will prophesy. Your young men will see visions. Your old men will dream dreams.
18وعلى عبيدي ايضا واماءي اسكب من روحي في تلك الايام فيتنبأون.
18Yes, and on my servants and on my handmaidens in those days, I will pour out my Spirit, and they will prophesy.
19واعطي عجائب في السماء من فوق وآيات على الارض من اسفل دما ونارا وبخار دخان.
19I will show wonders in the sky above, and signs on the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and billows of smoke.
20تتحول الشمس الى ظلمة والقمر الى دم قبل ان يجيء يوم الرب العظيم الشهير.
20The sun will be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and glorious day of the Lord comes.
21ويكون كل من يدعو باسم الرب يخلص
21It will be, that whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved.’ Joel 2:28-32
22ايها الرجال الاسرائيليون اسمعوا هذه الاقوال. يسوع الناصري رجل قد تبرهن لكم من قبل الله بقوات وعجائب وآيات صنعها الله بيده في وسطكم كما انتم ايضا تعلمون.
22“Men of Israel, hear these words! Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved by God to you by mighty works and wonders and signs which God did by him in the midst of you, even as you yourselves know,
23هذا اخذتموه مسلّما بمشورة الله المحتومة وعلمه السابق وبايدي اثمة صلبتموه وقتلتموه.
23him, being delivered up by the determined counsel and foreknowledge of God, you have taken by the hand of lawless men, crucified and killed;
24الذي اقامه الله ناقضا اوجاع الموت اذ لم يكن ممكنا ان يمسك منه.
24whom God raised up, having freed him from the agony of death, because it was not possible that he should be held by it.
25لان داود يقول فيه كنت ارى الرب امامي في كل حين انه عن يميني لكي لا اتزعزع.
25For David says concerning him, ‘I saw the Lord always before my face, For he is on my right hand, that I should not be moved.
26لذلك سرّ قلبي وتهلل لساني حتى جسدي ايضا سيسكن على رجاء.
26Therefore my heart was glad, and my tongue rejoiced. Moreover my flesh also will dwell in hope;
27لانك لن تترك نفسي في الهاوية ولا تدع قدوسك يرى فسادا.
27because you will not leave my soul in Hades or, Hell , neither will you allow your Holy One to see decay.
28عرفتني سبل الحياة وستملأني سرورا مع وجهك.
28You made known to me the ways of life. You will make me full of gladness with your presence.’ Psalm 16:8-11
29ايها الرجال الاخوة يسوغ ان يقال لكم جهارا عن رئيس الآباء داود انه مات ودفن وقبره عندنا حتى هذا اليوم.
29“Brothers, I may tell you freely of the patriarch David, that he both died and was buried, and his tomb is with us to this day.
30فاذ كان نبيا وعلم ان الله حلف له بقسم انه من ثمرة صلبه يقيم المسيح حسب الجسد ليجلس على كرسيه
30Therefore, being a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him that of the fruit of his body, according to the flesh, he would raise up the Christ to sit on his throne,
31سبق فرأى وتكلم عن قيامة المسيح انه لم تترك نفسه في الهاوية ولا رأى جسده فسادا.
31he foreseeing this spoke about the resurrection of the Christ, that neither was his soul left in Hades or, Hell , nor did his flesh see decay.
32فيسوع هذا اقامه الله ونحن جميعا شهود لذلك.
32This Jesus God raised up, to which we all are witnesses.
33واذ ارتفع بيمين الله واخذ موعد الروح القدس من الآب سكب هذا الذي انتم الآن تبصرونه وتسمعونه.
33Being therefore exalted by the right hand of God, and having received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, he has poured out this, which you now see and hear.
34لان داود لم يصعد الى السموات. وهو نفسه يقول قال الرب لربي اجلس عن يميني
34For David didn’t ascend into the heavens, but he says himself, ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit by my right hand,
35حتى اضع اعداءك موطئا لقدميك.
35until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet.”’ Psalm 110:1
36فليعلم يقينا جميع بيت اسرائيل ان الله جعل يسوع هذا الذي صلبتموه انتم ربا ومسيحا
36“Let all the house of Israel therefore know certainly that God has made him both Lord and Christ, this Jesus whom you crucified.”
37فلما سمعوا نخسوا في قلوبهم وقالوا لبطرس ولسائر الرسل ماذا نصنع ايها الرجال الاخوة.
37Now when they heard this, they were cut to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, “Brothers, what shall we do?”
38فقال لهم بطرس توبوا وليعتمد كل واحد منكم على اسم يسوع المسيح لغفران الخطايا فتقبلوا عطية الروح القدس.
38Peter said to them, “Repent, and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
39لان الموعد هو لكم ولاولادكم ولكل الذين على بعد كل من يدعوه الرب الهنا.
39For the promise is to you, and to your children, and to all who are far off, even as many as the Lord our God will call to himself.”
40وباقوال أخر كثيرة كان يشهد لهم ويعظهم قائلا اخلصوا من هذا الجيل الملتوي.
40With many other words he testified, and exhorted them, saying, “Save yourselves from this crooked generation!”
41فقبلوا كلامه بفرح واعتمدوا وانضمّ في ذلك اليوم نحو ثلاثة آلاف نفس
41Then those who gladly received his word were baptized. There were added that day about three thousand souls.
42وكانوا يواظبون على تعليم الرسل والشركة وكسر الخبز والصلوات.
42They continued steadfastly in the apostles’ teaching and fellowship, in the breaking of bread, and prayer.
43وصار خوف في كل نفس. وكانت عجائب وآيات كثيرة تجرى على ايدي الرسل.
43Fear came on every soul, and many wonders and signs were done through the apostles.
44وجميع الذين آمنوا كانوا معا وكان عندهم كل شيء مشتركا.
44All who believed were together, and had all things in common.
45والاملاك والمقتنيات كانوا يبيعونها ويقسمونها بين الجميع كما يكون لكل واحد احتياج.
45They sold their possessions and goods, and distributed them to all, according as anyone had need.
46وكانوا كل يوم يواظبون في الهيكل بنفس واحدة. واذ هم يكسرون الخبز في البيوت كانوا يتناولون الطعام بابتهاج وبساطة قلب
46Day by day, continuing steadfastly with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread at home, they took their food with gladness and singleness of heart,
47مسبحين الله ولهم نعمة لدى جميع الشعب. وكان الرب كل يوم يضم الى الكنيسة الذين يخلصون
47praising God, and having favor with all the people. The Lord added to the assembly day by day those who were being saved.
