¹He came to Derbe and Lystra: and behold, a certain disciple was there, named Timothy, the son of a Jewess who believed; but his father was a Greek.

¹ثم وصل الى دربة ولسترة واذا تلميذ كان هناك اسمه تيموثاوس ابن امرأة يهودية مؤمنة ولكن اباه يوناني‎.

²The brothers who were at Lystra and Iconium gave a good testimony about him.

²‎وكان مشهودا له من الاخوة الذين في لسترة وايقونية‎.

³Paul wanted to have him go out with him, and he took and circumcised him because of the Jews who were in those parts; for they all knew that his father was a Greek.

³‎فاراد بولس ان يخرج هذا معه فاخذه وختنه من اجل اليهود الذين في تلك الاماكن لان الجميع كانوا يعرفون اباه انه يوناني‎.

⁴As they went on their way through the cities, they delivered the decrees to them to keep which had been ordained by the apostles and elders who were at Jerusalem.

⁴‎واذ كانوا يجتازون في المدن كانوا يسلمونهم القضايا التي حكم بها الرسل والمشايخ الذين في اورشليم ليحفظوها‎.

⁵So the assemblies were strengthened in the faith, and increased in number daily.

⁵‎فكانت الكنائس تتشدد في الايمان وتزداد في العدد كل يوم‎.

⁶When they had gone through the region of Phrygia and Galatia, they were forbidden by the Holy Spirit to speak the word in Asia.

⁶‎وبعدما اجتازوا في فريجية وكورة غلاطية منعهم الروح القدس ان يتكلموا بالكلمة في اسيا‎.

⁷When they had come opposite Mysia, they tried to go into Bithynia, but the Spirit didn’t allow them.

⁷‎فلما أتوا الى ميسيا حاولوا ان يذهبوا الى بيثينية فلم يدعهم الروح‎.

⁸Passing by Mysia, they came down to Troas.

⁸‎فمروا على ميسيا وانحدروا الى ترواس‎.

⁹A vision appeared to Paul in the night. There was a man of Macedonia standing, begging him, and saying, “Come over into Macedonia and help us.”

⁹‎وظهرت لبولس رؤيا في الليل رجل مكدوني قائم يطلب اليه ويقول اعبر الى مكدونية وأعنا‎.

¹⁰When he had seen the vision, immediately we sought to go out to Macedonia, concluding that the Lord had called us to preach the Good News to them.

¹⁰‎فلما رأى الرؤيا للوقت طلبنا ان نخرج الى مكدونية متحققين ان الرب قد دعانا لنبشرهم

¹¹Setting sail therefore from Troas, we made a straight course to Samothrace, and the day following to Neapolis;

¹¹فاقلعنا من ترواس وتوجهنا بالاستقامة الى ساموثراكي وفي الغد الى نيابوليس‎.

¹²and from there to Philippi, which is a city of Macedonia, the foremost of the district, a Roman colony. We were staying some days in this city.

¹²‎ومن هناك الى فيلبي التي هي اول مدينة من مقاطعة مكدونية وهي كولونية. فاقمنا في هذه المدينة اياما‎.

¹³On the Sabbath day we went forth outside of the city by a riverside, where we supposed there was a place of prayer, and we sat down, and spoke to the women who had come together.

¹³‎وفي يوم السبت خرجنا الى خارج المدينة عند نهر حيث جرت العادة ان تكون صلاة فجلسنا وكنا نكلم النساء اللواتي اجتمعن‎.

¹⁴A certain woman named Lydia, a seller of purple, of the city of Thyatira, one who worshiped God, heard us; whose heart the Lord opened to listen to the things which were spoken by Paul.

¹⁴‎فكانت تسمع امرأة اسمها ليدية بياعة ارجوان من مدينة ثياتيرا متعبدة لله ففتح الرب قلبها لتصغي الى ما كان يقوله بولس‎.

¹⁵When she and her household were baptized, she begged us, saying, “If you have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come into my house, and stay.” So she persuaded us.

¹⁵‎فلما اعتمدت هي واهل بيتها طلبت قائلة ان كنتم قد حكمتم اني مؤمنة بالرب فادخلوا بيتي وامكثوا. فالزمتنا

¹⁶It happened, as we were going to prayer, that a certain girl having a spirit of divination met us, who brought her masters much gain by fortune telling.

¹⁶وحدث بينما كنا ذاهبين الى الصلاة ان جارية بها روح عرافة استقبلتنا. وكانت تكسب مواليها مكسبا كثيرا بعرافتها‎.

¹⁷Following Paul and us, she cried out, “These men are servants of the Most High God, who proclaim to us a way of salvation!”

¹⁷‎هذه اتبعت بولس وإيانا وصرخت قائلة هؤلاء الناس هم عبيد الله العلي الذين ينادون لكم بطريق الخلاص‎.

¹⁸She was doing this for many days. But Paul, becoming greatly annoyed, turned and said to the spirit, “I command you in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her!” It came out that very hour.

¹⁸‎وكانت تفعل هذا اياما كثيرة. فضجر بولس والتفت الى الروح وقال انا آمرك باسم يسوع المسيح ان تخرج منها. فخرج في تلك الساعة

¹⁹But when her masters saw that the hope of their gain was gone, they seized Paul and Silas, and dragged them into the marketplace before the rulers.

¹⁹فلما رأى مواليها انه قد خرج رجاء مكسبهم امسكوا بولس وسيلا وجروهما الى السوق الى الحكام‎.

²⁰When they had brought them to the magistrates, they said, “These men, being Jews, are agitating our city,

²⁰‎واذ أتوا بهما الى الولاة قالوا هذان الرجلان يبلبلان مدينتنا وهما يهوديان

²¹and set forth customs which it is not lawful for us to accept or to observe, being Romans.”

²¹ويناديان بعوائد لا يجوز لنا ان نقبلها ولا نعمل بها اذ نحن رومانيون‎.

²²The multitude rose up together against them, and the magistrates tore their clothes off of them, and commanded them to be beaten with rods.

²²‎فقام الجمع معا عليهما ومزق الولاة ثيابهما وامروا ان يضربا بالعصي‎.

²³When they had laid many stripes on them, they threw them into prison, charging the jailer to keep them safely,

²³‎فوضعوا عليهما ضربات كثيرة والقوهما في السجن واوصوا حافظ السجن ان يحرسهما بضبط‎.

²⁴who, having received such a command, threw them into the inner prison, and secured their feet in the stocks.

²⁴‎وهو اذ اخذ وصية مثل هذه القاهما في السجن الداخلي وضبط ارجلهما في المقطرة

²⁵But about midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were listening to them.

²⁵ونحو نصف الليل كان بولس وسيلا يصلّيان ويسبحان الله والمسجونون يسمعونهما‎.

²⁶Suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken; and immediately all the doors were opened, and everyone’s bonds were loosened.

²⁶‎فحدث بغتة زلزلة عظيمة حتى تزعزعت اساسات السجن. فانفتحت في الحال الابواب كلها وانفكت قيود الجميع‎.

²⁷The jailer, being roused out of sleep and seeing the prison doors open, drew his sword and was about to kill himself, supposing that the prisoners had escaped.

²⁷‎ولما استيقظ حافظ السجن ورأى ابواب السجن مفتوحة استل سيفه وكان مزمعا ان يقتل نفسه ظانا ان المسجونين قد هربوا‎.

²⁸But Paul cried with a loud voice, saying, “Don’t harm yourself, for we are all here!”

²⁸‎فنادى بولس بصوت عظيم قائلا لا تفعل بنفسك شيئا رديّا لان جميعنا ههنا‎.

²⁹He called for lights and sprang in, and, fell down trembling before Paul and Silas,

²⁹‎فطلب ضوءا واندفع الى داخل وخرّ لبولس وسيلا وهو مرتعد‎.

³⁰and brought them out and said, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?”

³⁰‎ثم اخرجهما وقال يا سيدي ماذا ينبغي ان افعل لكي اخلص‎.

³¹They said, “Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved, you and your household.”

³¹‎فقالا آمن بالرب يسوع المسيح فتخلص انت واهل بيتك‎.

³²They spoke the word of the Lord to him, and to all who were in his house.

³²‎وكلماه وجميع من في بيته بكلمة الرب‎.

³³He took them the same hour of the night, and washed their stripes, and was immediately baptized, he and all his household.

³³‎فاخذهما في تلك الساعة من الليل وغسلهما من الجراحات واعتمد في الحال هو والذين له اجمعون‎.

³⁴He brought them up into his house, and set food before them, and rejoiced greatly, with all his household, having believed in God.

³⁴‎ولما اصعدهما الى بيته قدم لهما مائدة وتهلل مع جميع بيته اذ كان قد آمن بالله

³⁵But when it was day, the magistrates sent the sergeants, saying, “Let those men go.”

³⁵ولما صار النهار ارسل الولاة الجلادين قائلين اطلق ذينك الرجلين‎.

³⁶The jailer reported these words to Paul, saying, “The magistrates have sent to let you go; now therefore come out, and go in peace.”

³⁶‎فاخبر حافظ السجن بولس بهذا الكلام ان الولاة قد ارسلوا ان تطلقا فاخرجا الآن واذهبا بسلام‎.

³⁷But Paul said to them, “They have beaten us publicly, without a trial, men who are Romans, and have cast us into prison! Do they now release us secretly? No, most certainly, but let them come themselves and bring us out!”

³⁷‎فقال لهم بولس ضربونا جهرا غير مقضي علينا ونحن رجلان رومانيان وألقونا في السجن. أفالآن يطردوننا سرّا. كلا. بل ليأتوا هم انفسهم ويخرجونا‎.

³⁸The sergeants reported these words to the magistrates, and they were afraid when they heard that they were Romans,

³⁸‎فاخبر الجلادون الولاة بهذا الكلام فاختشوا لما سمعوا انهما رومانيان‎.

³⁹and they came and begged them. When they had brought them out, they asked them to depart from the city.

³⁹‎فجاءوا وتضرعوا اليهما واخرجوهما وسألوهما ان يخرجا من المدينة.

⁴⁰They went out of the prison, and entered into Lydia’s house. When they had seen the brothers, they encouraged them, and departed.

⁴⁰فخرجا من السجن ودخلا عند ليدية فابصرا الاخوة وعزياهم ثم خرجا
