1 N ow Peter and John went up together into the temple at the hour of prayer, being the ninth hour.

وَكانَ بُطرُسُ وَيُوحَنّا ذاهِبَيْنِ إلَى ساحَةِ الهَيكَلِ فِي السّاعَةِ الثّالِثَةِ بَعدَ الظُّهْرِ، وَهَوَ وَقتُ الصَّلاةِ.

2 A nd a certain man lame from his mother’s womb was carried, whom they laid daily at the gate of the temple which is called Beautiful, to ask alms of them that entered into the temple;

وَكانَ هُناكَ أشخاصٌ يَحمِلُونَ رَجُلاً مَشلولاً مُنذُ وِلادَتِهِ، وَيَضَعُونَهُ كُلَّ يَومٍ قُربَ بَوّابَةِ الهَيكَلِ الَّتِي تُدعَى «البَوّابَةَ الجَمِيلَةَ،» لِيَستَعطِي مالاً مِنَ الدّاخِلِينَ إلَى ساحَةِ الهَيكَلِ.

3 w ho seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple asked an alms.

فَلَمّا رَأى هَذا الرَّجُلُ بُطرُسَ وَيُوحَنّا يُوشِكانِ عَلَى الدُّخُولِ إلَى ساحَةِ الهَيكَلِ، طَلَبَ مِنهُما مالاً.

4 A nd Peter, fastening his eyes upon him with John, said, Look on us.

فَثَبَّتَ بُطرُسُ وَيُوحَنّا أعيُنَهُما عَلَيهِ وَقالا لَهُ: «انظُرْ إلَينا!»

5 A nd he gave heed unto them, expecting to receive something of them.

فَنَظَرَ إلَيهِما مُتَوَقِّعاً أنْ يَحصُلَ عَلَى شَيءٍ مِنهُما.

6 T hen Peter said, Silver and gold have I none; but such as I have give I thee: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk.

لَكِنَّ بُطرُسَ قالَ لَهُ: «لا أملِكُ فِضَّةً وَلا ذَهَباً، لَكِنِّي أُعْطِيكَ ما لَدَيَّ: بِاسْمِ يَسُوعَ المَسِيحِ النّاصِرِيِّ انهَضْ وَامشِ!»

7 A nd he took him by the right hand, and lifted him up: and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength.

وَأنهَضَهُ مُمسِكاً إيّاهُ مِنْ يَدِهِ اليُمنَى. فَتَقَوَّتْ قَدَماهُ وَكاحِلاهُ حالاً.

8 A nd he leaping up stood, and walked, and entered with them into the temple, walking, and leaping, and praising God.

فَقَفَزَ عَلَى قَدَمَيهِ وَبَدَأ يَمشِي. وَدَخَلَ مَعَهُما إلَى ساحَةِ الهَيكَلِ يَمشِي وَيَقفِزُ وَيُسَبّحُ اللهَ.

9 A nd all the people saw him walking and praising God:

وَرَآهُ كُلُّ النّاسِ يَمشِي وَيُسَبِّحُ اللهَ.

10 a nd they knew that it was he which sat for alms at the Beautiful gate of the temple: and they were filled with wonder and amazement at that which had happened unto him.

فَعَرَفُوا أنَّهُ ذَلِكَ الرَّجُلُ الَّذِي كانَ يَجلِسُ مُستَعطِياً عِندَ البَوّابَةِ الجَمِيلَةِ. فَتَمَلَّكَهُمُ العَجَبُ وَالذُّهُولُ مِمّا حَدَثَ لَهُ. بُطرُسُ يَتَحَدَّثُ إلَى النّاس

11 A nd as the lame man which was healed held Peter and John, all the people ran together unto them in the porch that is called Solomon’s, greatly wondering.

وَبَينَما كانَ الرَّجُلُ مُتَعَلِّقاً بِبُطرُسَ وَيُوحَنّا، ذُهِلَ كُلُّ النّاسِ وَتَراكَضُوا نَحوَهُمْ إلَى بُقعَةٍ تُدعَى «قاعَةَ سُلَيْمانَ.»

12 A nd when Peter saw it, he answered unto the people, Ye men of Israel, why marvel ye at this? or why look ye so earnestly on us, as though by our own power or holiness we had made this man to walk?

فَلَمّا رَأى بُطرُسُ هَذا، قالَ لِلنّاسِ: «يا رِجالَ إسرائِيلَ، لِماذا يُدهِشُكُمْ هَذا؟ وَلِماذا تُحَدِّقُونَ بِنا وَكَأنَّنا بِقُوَّتِنا الخاصَّةِ أوْ تَقوانا جَعَلنا هَذا الرَّجُلَ يَمشِي؟

13 T he God of Abraham, and of Isaac, and of Jacob, the God of our fathers, hath glorified his Son Jesus; whom ye delivered up, and denied him in the presence of Pilate, when he was determined to let him go.

لَقَدْ مَجَّدَ إلَهُ آبائِنا إبراهِيمَ وَإسْحَقَ وَيَعقُوبَ، خادِمَهُ يَسُوعَ. وَأنتُمْ أسلَمتُمُوهُ لِلقَتلِ، وَتَبَرَّأْتُمْ مِنهُ أمامَ بِيلاطُسَ بَعدَ أنْ قَرَّرَ إطلاقَ سَراحِهِ.

14 B ut ye denied the Holy One and the Just, and desired a murderer to be granted unto you;

تَبَرَّأْتُمْ مِنَ القُدُّوسِ وَالبارِّ، وَطَلَبتُمْ أنْ يُخلَى لَكُمْ سَبِيلُ رَجُلٍ قاتِلٍ.

15 a nd killed the Prince of life, whom God hath raised from the dead; whereof we are witnesses.

قَتَلتُمْ مانِحَ الحَياةِ، لَكِنَّ اللهَ أقامَهُ مِنَ المَوتِ، وَنَحنُ شُهُودٌ لِهَذا.

16 A nd his name through faith in his name hath made this man strong, whom ye see and know: yea, the faith which is by him hath given him this perfect soundness in the presence of you all.

«وَاسْمُ يَسُوعَ هُوَ الَّذِي وَهَبَ قُوَّةً لِهَذا الرَّجُلِ الَّذِي تَرَونَهُ وَتَعرِفُونَهُ، إذْ آمَنّا بِاسْمِهِ. فَالإيمانُ الَّذِي يَأْتِي مِنْ خِلالِهِ هُوَ الَّذِي أعطَى شِفاءً تامّاً لِهَذا الرَّجُلِ أمامَكُمْ جَمِيعاً.

17 A nd now, brethren, I wot that through ignorance ye did it, as did also your rulers.

«وَالآنَ أيُّها الإخوَةُ، أعرِفُ أنَّكُمْ تَصَرَّفتُمْ عَنْ جَهلٍ، كَما فَعَلَ قادَتُكُمْ أيضاً.

18 B ut those things, which God before had shewed by the mouth of all his prophets, that Christ should suffer, he hath so fulfilled.

لَكِنْ هَكَذا تَحَقَّقَ ما سَبَقَ أنْ أعلَنَهُ اللهُ عَلَى لِسانِ جَمِيعِ أنبِيائِهِ مِنْ أنَّ مَسِيحَهُ لا بُدَّ أنْ يَتَألَّمَ.

19 R epent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord;

فَتُوبُوا وَعُودُوا إلَى اللهِ لِتُمحَى خَطاياكُمْ.

20 a nd he shall send Jesus Christ, which before was preached unto you:

تُوبُوا إلَى اللهِ عَسَى أنْ تَأتِيَ أوقاتُ الرّاحَةِ مِنْ عِندِ الرَّبِّ، وَعَسَى أنْ يُرسِلَ المَسِيحَ، أيْ يَسُوعَ الَّذِي سَبَقَ أنِ اختارَهُ لَكُمْ.

21 w hom the heaven must receive until the times of restitution of all things, which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets since the world began.

«إذْ كانَ يَنبَغِي أنْ يَبقَى المَسِيحُ فِي السَّماءِ، حَتَّى يَأْتِيَ الوَقتُ المُناسِبُ لاستِردادِ كُلِّ الأشياءِ الَّتِي تَحَدَّثَ اللهُ عَنها قَدِيماً عَلَى لِسانِ أنبِيائِهِ المُقَدَّسِينَ.

22 F or Moses truly said unto the fathers, A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me; him shall ye hear in all things whatsoever he shall say unto you.

فَقَدْ قالَ مُوسَى: ‹سَيُقِيمُ لَكُمُ الرَّبُّ إلَهُكُمْ نَبِيّاً مِثلِي مِنْ بَينِ شَعبِكُمْ. فَيَنبَغِي أنْ تُطِيعُوهُ فِي كُلِّ ما يَقُولُهُ لَكُمْ …

23 A nd it shall come to pass, that every soul, which will not hear that prophet, shall be destroyed from among the people.

وَكُلُّ مَنْ لا يُطِيعُهُ، سَيُقطَعُ مِنْ الشَّعبِ.›

24 Y ea, and all the prophets from Samuel and those that follow after, as many as have spoken, have likewise foretold of these days.

«وَكُلُّ الأنبِياءِ، ابْتِداءً بِصَمُوئِيلَ وَكُلِّ الَّذِينَ جاءُوا بَعدَهُ، تَنَبَّأُوا عَنْ هَذِهِ الأيّامِ ذاتِها.

25 Y e are the children of the prophets, and of the covenant which God made with our fathers, saying unto Abraham, And in thy seed shall all the kindreds of the earth be blessed.

وَأنتُمْ أبناءُ الأنبِياءِ وَأبناءُ العَهدِ الَّذِي قَطَعَهُ اللهُ لآبائِكُمْ. فَقَدْ قالَ لإبراهِيمَ: ‹سَتَتَبارَكُ كُلُّ عَشَائِرِ الأرْضِ بِنَسلِكَ.›

26 U nto you first God, having raised up his Son Jesus, sent him to bless you, in turning away every one of you from his iniquities.

وَعِندَما أقامَ اللهُ فَتاهُ يَسُوعَ، أرسَلَهُ إلَيكُمْ أنتُمْ أوَّلاً، لِكَي يُبارِكَكُمْ بِأنْ يَرُدَّ كُلَّ واحِدٍ مِنكُمْ عَنْ طُرُقِهِ الشِّرِّيرَةِ.»
