1 و َعِندَما جاءَ عِيدُ يُومِ الخَمسِينَ، كانُوا كُلُّهُمْ مُجتَمِعِينَ مَعاً فِي مَكانٍ واحِدٍ.

When the day of Pentecost had come, they were all together in one place.

2 ف َإذا بِصَوتٍ مِنَ السَّماءِ يُشبِهُ هُبُوبَ رِيحٍ عَنِيفَةٍ، مَلأ جَمِيعَ أرجاءِ البَيتِ الَّذي كانُوا يَجلِسُونَ فيهِ.

And suddenly there came from heaven a noise like a violent rushing wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting.

3 و َإذا بِألسِنَةٍ شَبِيهَةٍ بِنارٍ تَظهَرُ لَهُمْ، وَتَتَوَزَّعُ عَلَى كُلِّ واحِدٍ مِنهُمْ.

And there appeared to them tongues as of fire distributing themselves, and they rested on each one of them.

4 ف َامْتَلأُوا جَمِيعاً مِنَ الرُّوحِ القُدُسِ، وَبَدَأُوا يَتَكَلَّمُونَ بِلُغاتٍ أُخْرَى، كَما مَكَّنَهُمُ الرُّوحُ مِنْ أنْ يَتَكَلَّمُوا.

And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit was giving them utterance.

5 و َكانَ هُناكَ يَهُودٌ أتقِياءٌ مِنْ كُلِّ أُمَّةٍ عَلَى الأرْضِ قَدِ اجْتَمَعوا فِي مَدينَةِ القُدسِ.

Now there were Jews living in Jerusalem, devout men from every nation under heaven.

6 ف َلَمّا جاءَ هَذا الصَّوتُ، تَجَمهَرَ جَمعٌ كَبِيرٌ مِنهُمْ. وَكانُوا مُرتَبِكِينَ لِأنَّ كُلَّ واحِدٍ مِنْهُمْ كانَ يَسْمَعُهُمْ يَتَكَلَّمُونَ بِلُغَتِهِ الخاصَّةِ.

And when this sound occurred, the crowd came together, and were bewildered because each one of them was hearing them speak in his own language.

7 ف َكانُوا مَذهُولِينَ وَقالُوا مُتَعَجِّبِينَ: «ألَيسَ كُلُّ هَؤُلاءِ الَّذِينَ يَتَكَلَّمُونَ هُمْ مِنَ الجَليلِ؟

They were amazed and astonished, saying, “ Why, are not all these who are speaking Galileans?

8 ف َكَيفَ يَسمَعُهُمْ كُلُّ واحِدٍ مِنّا يَتَكَلَّمُونَ بِلُغَتِهِ الَّتي وُلِدَ فيها؟»

And how is it that we each hear them in our own language to which we were born?

9 ف َقَدْ لاحَظُوا أنَّهُمْ فَرْتِيُّونَ وَمادِيُّونَ وَعِيلامِيُّونَ، وَمِنْ أهلِ ما بَينَ النَّهرَينِ وَاليَهُودِيَّةِ وَكَبَّدُوكِيَّةَ وَبُنطُسَ وَأسِيّا

Parthians and Medes and Elamites, and residents of Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia,

10 و َفَرِيجِيَّةَ وَبَمفِيلِيَّةَ وَمِصْرَ وَالمَناطِقَ اللِّيبِيَّةَ القَرِيبَةَ مِنْ مَدِينَةِ قِيرِينِ وَرُوما. وَلاحَظُوا أنَّ بَعْضَهُمْ مِنْ أصلٍ يَهُودِيٍّ وَبَعْضَهُمْ قَدْ تَحَوَلُوا إلَى اليَهُودِيَّةِ،

Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the districts of Libya around Cyrene, and visitors from Rome, both Jews and proselytes,

11 و َأنَّ بَينَهُمْ كرِيتِيُّونَ وَعَرَبٌ. فَقالُوا: «ها نَحنُ نَسمَعُ هَؤُلاءِ الرِّجالَ الجَلِيلِيِّيْنَ يَتَحَدَّثُونَ عَنْ أعمالِ اللهِ العَجِيبَةِ فِي لُغاتِنا نَحنُ!»

Cretans and Arabs—we hear them in our own tongues speaking of the mighty deeds of God.”

12 ف َكانُوا جَمِيعاً مَذهُولِينَ وَمُتَحَيِّرِينَ، يَقُولُونَ بَعْضُهُمْ لِبَعْضٍ: «ما الَّذِي يَعنِيهِ هَذا؟»

And they all continued in amazement and great perplexity, saying to one another, “What does this mean?”

13 ل َكِنَّ آخَرِينَ سَخِرُوا بِهِمْ وَقالُوا: «لَقَدْ أسرَفَ هَؤلاءِ فِي شُربِ النَّبِيذِ!» بُطرُسُ يَتَحَدَّثُ إلَى النّاس

But others were mocking and saying, “ They are full of sweet wine.” Peter’s Sermon

14 ث ُمَّ وَقَفَ بُطرُسُ مَعَ الأحَدَ عَشَرَ رَسُولاً، وَرَفَعَ صَوتَهُ وَخاطَبَ النّاسَ فَقالَ: «أيُّها الإخوَةُ اليَهُودُ، وَيا كُلَّ المُقِيمِينَ فِي القُدسِ، اعلَمُوا هَذا الَّذَي سَأُخْبِرُكُمْ بِهِ، وَأصغُوا إلَى كَلامِي جَيِّداً.

But Peter, taking his stand with the eleven, raised his voice and declared to them: “Men of Judea and all you who live in Jerusalem, let this be known to you and give heed to my words.

15 م ا هَؤُلاءِ بِسُكارَى كَما تَعتَقِدونَ، فَالوَقتُ لا يَتَجاوَزُ التّاسِعَةَ صَباحاً.

For these men are not drunk, as you suppose, for it is only the third hour of the day;

16 ل َكِنْ هَذا هُوَ ما تَحَدَّثَ عَنهُ النَّبِيُّ يُوئِيلُ:

but this is what was spoken of through the prophet Joel:

17 ‹ يَقُولُ اللهُ: فِي الأيّامِ الأخِيرَةِ سَأسكُبُ رُوحِي عَلَى كُلِّ النّاسِ. وَسَيَتَنَبَّأُ أولادُكُمْ وَبَناتُكُمْ. وَسَيَرَى شُبّانُكُمْ رُؤَىً. وَسَيحلُمُ شُيُوخُكُمْ أحلاماً.

‘ And it shall be in the last days,’ God says, ‘ That I will pour forth of My Spirit on all mankind; And your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, And your young men shall see visions, And your old men shall dream dreams;

18 ف ِي تِلكَ الأيّامِ، سَأسكُبُ رُوحِي عَلَى عَبِيدِي، رِجالاً وَنِساءً، وَسَيَتَنَبَّأُونَ.

Even on My bondslaves, both men and women, I will in those days pour forth of My Spirit And they shall prophesy.

19 و َسَأُظهِرُ عَجائِبَ فِي السَّماءِ مِنْ فَوقُ، وَآياتٍ تَحتُ عَلَى الأرْضِ، دَماً وَناراً وَسُحُباً كَثِيفَةً مِنَ الدُّخانِ،

‘ And I will grant wonders in the sky above And signs on the earth below, Blood, and fire, and vapor of smoke.

20 ا لشَّمسُ سَتَتَحَوَّلُ إلَى ظُلمَةٍ، وَالقَمَرُ إلَى دَمٍ، قَبلَ أنْ يَأتِيَ يَومُ الرَّبِّ العَظِيمُ المَجِيدُ،

‘ The sun will be turned into darkness And the moon into blood, Before the great and glorious day of the Lord shall come.

21 ح ينَ يَخلُصُ كُلُّ مَنْ يَدعُو بِاسْمِ الرَّبِّ.›

‘ And it shall be that everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.’

22 « يا رِجالَ إسرائِيلَ! أصغُوا إلَى كَلامِي. يَسُوعُ النّاصِرِيُّ هُوَ رَجُلٌ شَهِدَ لَهُ اللهُ بِالمُعجِزاتِ وَالعَجائِبِ وَالبَراهينَ الَّتي أجراها اللهُ بِواسِطَتِهِ بَينَكُمْ كَما تَعلَمُونَ.

“Men of Israel, listen to these words: Jesus the Nazarene, a man attested to you by God with miracles and wonders and signs which God performed through Him in your midst, just as you yourselves know—

23 ل َقَدْ سُلِّمَ هَذا الرَّجُلُ إلَيكُمْ وَفْقَ خُطَّةِ اللهِ وَسابِقِ مَعرِفَتِهِ. وَأنتُمْ قَتَلتُمُوهُ إذْ سَمَّرتُمُوهُ إلَى صَلِيبٍ بِمَعُونَةِ أشخاصٍ أشرارٍ.

this Man, delivered over by the predetermined plan and foreknowledge of God, you nailed to a cross by the hands of godless men and put Him to death.

24 ل َكِنَّ اللهَ أقامَهُ مِنَ المَوتِ، مُحَرِّراً إيّاهُ مِنْ آلامِ المَوتِ. إذْ لَمْ يَكُنْ مُمكِناً لِلمَوتِ أنْ يَحْجِزَهُ.

But God raised Him up again, putting an end to the agony of death, since it was impossible for Him to be held in its power.

25 ف َداوُدُ يَقُولُ عَنهُ: ‹رَأيتُ الرَّبَّ أمامِي دائِماً. هُوَ عَنْ يَمِينِي فَلَنْ أضطَرِبَ.

For David says of Him, ‘ I saw the Lord always in my presence; For He is at my right hand, so that I will not be shaken.

26 ل ِهَذا فَرِحَ قَلبِي، وَابتَهَجَ لِسانِي، فَجَسَدِي أيضاً سَيَحيا بِالرَّجاءِ.

‘ Therefore my heart was glad and my tongue exulted; Moreover my flesh also will live in hope;

27 ل ِأنَّكَ لَنْ تَترُكَ نَفسِي فِي الهاوِيَةِ. لَنْ تَدَعَ جَسَدَ قُدُّوسِكَ يَتَعَفَّنُ.

Because You will not abandon my soul to Hades, Nor allow Your Holy One to undergo decay.

28 ع َرَّفتَنِي طُرُقَ الحَياةِ، وَسَتَملأُنِي فَرَحاً بِحُضُورِكَ.›

‘ You have made known to me the ways of life; You will make me full of gladness with Your presence.’

29 « أيُّها الإخوَةُ، يُمكِنُنِي أنْ أقُولُ لَكُمْ بِكُلِّ ثِقَةٍ عَنْ أبِينا داوُدَ، بِأنَّهُ قَدْ ماتَ وَدُفِنَ، وَقَبرُهُ مَوجُودٌ هُنا عِندَنا إلَى هَذا اليَومِ.

“ Brethren, I may confidently say to you regarding the patriarch David that he both died and was buried, and his tomb is with us to this day.

30 ل َكِنَّهُ كانَ نَبِيّاً، وَقَدْ عَرَفَ أنَّ اللهَ قَطَعَ لَهُ وَعداً مَصحُوباً بِقَسَمٍ بِأنَّهُ سَيُجلِسُ واحِداً مِنْ نَسلِهِ عَلَى عَرشِهِ.

And so, because he was a prophet and knew that God had sworn to him with an oath to seat one of his descendants on his throne,

31 ل َقَدْ رَأى قِيامَةَ المَسِيحِ قَبلَ حُدُوثِها فَقالَ: ‹لَنْ يُترَكَ فِي الهاوِيَةِ، وَلَنْ يَتَعَفَّنَ جَسَدُهُ.›

he looked ahead and spoke of the resurrection of the Christ, that He was neither abandoned to Hades, nor did His flesh suffer decay.

32 ل َقَدْ أقامَ اللهُ يَسُوعَ هَذا مِنَ المَوتِ، وَنَحنُ كُلُّنا شُهُودٌ لِتِلكَ الحَقِيقَةِ.

This Jesus God raised up again, to which we are all witnesses.

33 و َبَعدَ أنْ رُفِعَ إلَى يَمِينِ اللهِ، وَتَلَقَّى الرُّوحَ القُدُسَ الَّذِي وَعَدَ بِهِ الآبُ، سَكَبَ هَذا الرُّوحَ الَّذِي تَرَونَهُ وَتَسمَعُونَهُ الآنَ.

Therefore having been exalted to the right hand of God, and having received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, He has poured forth this which you both see and hear.

34 أ مّا داوُدُ فَلَمْ يَصْعَدْ إلَى السَّماءِ. وَهُوَ نَفسُهُ قالَ: ‹قالَ الرَّبُّ لِسَيِّديْ: اجلِسْ عَنْ يَمِينِي،

For it was not David who ascended into heaven, but he himself says: ‘ The Lord said to my Lord, “ Sit at My right hand,

35 إ لَى أنْ أجعَلَ أعداءَكَ مَداساً لِرِجلَيكَ.›

Until I make Your enemies a footstool for Your feet.”’

36 « وَلِهَذا، فَليَعلَمْ كُلُّ بَنِي إسرائِيلَ أنَّ اللهَ أعلَنَ يَسُوعَ هَذا الَّذِي صَلَبتُمُوهُ، رَبّاً وَمَسِيحاً.»

Therefore let all the house of Israel know for certain that God has made Him both Lord and Christ—this Jesus whom you crucified.” The Ingathering

37 ف َلَمّا سَمِعَ النّاسُ هَذا الكَلامَ، تَمَزَّقَتْ قُلُوبُهُمْ، وَسَألُوا بُطرُسَ وَالرُّسُلَ الآخَرِينَ: «أيُّها الإخوَةُ، ماذا يَنْبَغي عَلَينا أنْ نَفعَلَ؟»

Now when they heard this, they were pierced to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, “ Brethren, what shall we do?”

38 ف َقالَ لَهُمْ بُطرُسُ: «تُوبُوا، وَلْيَعتَمِدْ كُلُّ واحِدٍ مِنكُمْ عَلَى اسْمِ يَسُوعَ المَسِيحِ لِمَغفِرَةِ خَطاياكُمْ، فَتَنالونَ عَطِيَّةِ الرَّوحِ القُدُسِ.

Peter said to them, “ Repent, and each of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins; and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

39 ف َالوَعدُ هُوَ لَكُمْ وَلِأبنائِكُمْ وَلِكُلِّ الأُمَمِ البَعِيدِينَ، أيْ كُلِّ مَنْ يَدعُوهُ الرَّبُّ إلَهُنا.»

For the promise is for you and your children and for all who are far off, as many as the Lord our God will call to Himself.”

40 و َشَهِدَ لَهُمْ بُطْرُسُ بِكَلامٍ كَثِيرٍ غَيرِ هَذا. وَكانَ يُناشِدُهُمْ فَيَقولُ: «خَلِّصُوا أنفُسَكُمْ مِنَ العِقابِ الَّذِي يَستَحِقُّهُ هَذا الجِيلُ المُنحَرِفُ!»

And with many other words he solemnly testified and kept on exhorting them, saying, “ Be saved from this perverse generation!”

41 ف َتَعَمَّدَ كُلُّ الَّذِينَ قَبِلُوا رِسالَتَهُ، وَانضَمَّ إلَى جَماعَةِ المُؤمِنِينَ فِي ذَلِكَ اليَومِ ثَلاثَةُ آلافِ شَخصٍ.

So then, those who had received his word were baptized; and that day there were added about three thousand souls.

42 و َكانُوا مُنْشَغِلينَ بِتَعلِيمِ الرُّسُلِ، وَالشَّرِكَةِ، وَكَسْرِ الخُبزِ وَالصَّلَواتِ. تَشارُكُ المُؤمِنِينَ فِي كُلِّ شَيء

They were continually devoting themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer.

43 و َتَمَلَّكَ الجَمِيعَ إحساسٌ بِالرَّهبَةِ، لِأنَّ الرُّسُلَ كانُوا يُجرُونَ عَجائِبَ وَمُعْجِزاتٍ كَثِيرَةً.

Everyone kept feeling a sense of awe; and many wonders and signs were taking place through the apostles.

44 و َكانَ كُلُّ المُؤمِنِيْنَ يَجتَمِعُونَ مَعاً وَيَتَشارَكُونَ فِي كُلِّ ما يَملِكُونَهُ.

And all those who had believed were together and had all things in common;

45 ب اعُوا أملاكَهُمْ وَمُقتَنَياتِهِمْ، وَوَزَّعُوا ثَمَنَها عَلَى الجَمِيعِ، كُلِّ واحِدٍ حَسَبَ احتِياجِهِ.

and they began selling their property and possessions and were sharing them with all, as anyone might have need.

46 ك انُوا يُواظِبُونَ عَلَى الاجتِماعِ كُلَّ يَومٍ فِي ساحَةِ الهَيكَلِ، وَيَشتَرِكُونَ فِي كَسْرِ الخُبزِ مِنْ بَيتٍ إلَى بَيتٍ، وَيَأْكُلُونَ مَعاً بِقُلُوبٍ فَرِحَةٍ مُخلِصَةٍ

Day by day continuing with one mind in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, they were taking their meals together with gladness and sincerity of heart,

47 و َهُمْ يُسَبِّحونَ اللهَ، وَيَحْظَونَ باستِحسانِ جَمِيعِ الشَّعبِ. وَكانَ الرَّبُّ فِي كُلِّ يَومٍ يُضِيفُ الَّذِينَ يَخلُصُونَ إلَى جَماعَةِ المُؤمِنِينَ.

praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord was adding to their number day by day those who were being saved.
