1 و َلَمّا تَوَقَّفَ الهِياجُ، أرسَلَ بُولُسُ فِي طَلَبِ المُؤمِنِيْنَ. وَبَعدَ أنْ شَجَّعَهُمْ، وَدَّعَهُمْ وَذَهَبَ إلَى مُقاطَعَةِ مَكدُونِيَّةَ.

And after the uproar was ceased, Paul called unto him the disciples, and embraced them, and departed for to go into Macedonia.

2 و َسافَرَ عَبرَ تِلكَ المُقاطَعَةِ، وَشَجَّعَ المُؤمِنِينَ هُناكَ بِكَلامٍ كَثِيرٍ، ثُمَّ وَصَلَ إلَى اليُونانِ.

And when he had gone over those parts, and had given them much exhortation, he came into Greece,

3 و َبَقِيَ هُناكَ ثَلاثَةَ شُهُورٍ. وَكانَ بُولُسُ يُجَهِّزُ نَفسَهُ لِلسَّفَرِ إلَى سُورِيّا بَحراً، لَكِنْ لأنَّ اليَهُودَ كانُوا يُخَطِّطُونَ لِشَيءٍ ضِدَّهُ، قَرَّرَ أنْ يَعُودَ عَبرَ مُقاطَعَةِ مَكدُونِيَّةَ.

And there abode three months. And when the Jews laid wait for him, as he was about to sail into Syria, he purposed to return through Macedonia.

4 و َرافَقَهُ سُوباتْرِسُ بْنُ بِرُّسَ مِنْ مَدِينَةِ بِيرِيَّةَ. كَما رافَقَهُ أرَسْتَرْخُسُ وَسَكُونْدُسُ مِنْ تَسالُونِيكِي، وَغايُوسُ مِنْ مَدِينَةِ دَربَةَ، وَتِيمُوثاوُسُ وَتِيخِيكُسُ وَتْرُوفِيمُوسُ مِنْ مُقاطَعَةِ أسِيّا.

And there accompanied him into Asia Sopater of Berea; and of the Thessalonians, Aristarchus and Secundus; and Gaius of Derbe, and Timotheus; and of Asia, Tychicus and Trophimus.

5 س َبَقَنا هَؤُلاءِ وَانتَظَرُونا فِي مَدِينَةِ ترُواسَ.

These going before tarried for us at Troas.

6 ف َأبحَرْنا مِنْ فِيلِبِّي بَعدَ أيّامِ عِيدِ الخُبزِ غَيرِ المُختَمِرِ. وَبَعدَ خَمسَةِ أيّامٍ، انضَمَمْنا إلَيْهِمْ فِي مَدِينَةِ ترُواسَ، حَيثُ بَقِينا سَبعَةَ أيّامٍ. زِيارَةُ بُولُسَ الأخِيرَةُ لِتْرُواس

And we sailed away from Philippi after the days of unleavened bread, and came unto them to Troas in five days; where we abode seven days.

7 و َفِي اليَومِ الأوَّلِ مِنَ الأُسبُوعِ، كُنّا مُجتَمِعِينَ مَعاً لِكَسْرِ الخُبزِ، فَتَحَدَّثَ بُولُسُ مَعَهُمْ. وَلِأنَّهُ كانَ يَنوِي السَّفَرَ فِي اليَومِ التّالِي، ظَلَّ يَتَحَدَّثُ حَتَّى مُنتَصَفِ اللَّيلِ.

And upon the first day of the week, when the disciples came together to break bread, Paul preached unto them, ready to depart on the morrow; and continued his speech until midnight.

8 و َكانَتْ هُناكَ مَصابِيحٌ كَثِيرَةٌ فِي الغُرفَةِ العُلوِيَّةِ حَيثُ كُنّا مُجتَمِعِينَ.

And there were many lights in the upper chamber, where they were gathered together.

9 و َكانَ شابٌّ اسْمُهُ أفتِيخُوسُ جالِساً فِي النّافِذَةِ. فَبَدَأ يَغُطُّ فِي نَومٍ عَمِيقٍ أثناءَ مُواصَلَةِ بُولُسَ حَدِيثِهِ. وَلِأنَّ النَّومَ قَدْ غَلَبَهُ تَماماً، فَقَدْ وَقَعَ مِنَ الطّابِقِ الثّالِثِ. وَلَمّا رَفَعُوهُ وَجَدُوهُ مَيِّتاً.

And there sat in a window a certain young man named Eutychus, being fallen into a deep sleep: and as Paul was long preaching, he sunk down with sleep, and fell down from the third loft, and was taken up dead.

10 ف َنَزَلَ بُولُسُ وَانحَنَى عَلَيهِ، وَقالَ وَهُوَ يَحتَضِنُهُ: «لا تَخافُوا، فَما زالَتْ حَياتُهُ فِيهِ.»

And Paul went down, and fell on him, and embracing him said, Trouble not yourselves; for his life is in him.

11 ث ُمَّ صَعِدَ بُولُسُ، وَكَسَرَ خُبزاً وَأكَلَ، وَتَحَدَّثَ إلَيْهِمْ فَترَةً طَوِيلَةً حَتَّى الفَجرِ ثُمَّ غادَرَ.

When he therefore was come up again, and had broken bread, and eaten, and talked a long while, even till break of day, so he departed.

12 و َأخَذُوا الشّابَّ إلَى بَيتِهِ حَيّاً، فَتَعَزَّوا كَثِيراً. مِنْ تْرُواسَ إلَى مِيلِيتُس

And they brought the young man alive, and were not a little comforted.

13 أ مّا نَحنُ فَتابَعنا السَّفَرَ وَسَبَقنا بُولُسَ. فَأبحَرْنا إلَى مَدِينَةِ أسُّوسَ. كُنّا مُتَّجِهِينَ إلَى هُناكَ لِكَي نَأْخُذَهُ مَعَنا عَلَى ظَهرِ السَّفِينَةِ، فَقَدْ رَتَّبَ هُوَ ذَلِكَ لِأنَّهُ أرادَ أنْ يَذهَبَ بِنَفسِهِ إلَى أسُّوسَ ماشِياً.

And we went before to ship, and sailed unto Assos, there intending to take in Paul: for so had he appointed, minding himself to go afoot.

14 و َعِندَما قابَلَنا فِي أسُّوسَ، أركَبْناهُ السَّفِينَةَ وَذَهَبْنا إلَى مِيتِيلِينِي.

And when he met with us at Assos, we took him in, and came to Mitylene.

15 و َأبحَرْنا مِنْ هُناكَ فِي اليَومِ التّالِي، وَوَصَلْنا إلَى نُقطَةٍ مُقابِلَ خَيُوسَ. وَفِي اليَومِ التّالِي عَبَرنا إلَى سامُوسَ. وَفِي اليَومِ الَّذِي يَلِيهِ وَصَلْنا إلَى مِيلِيتُسَ.

And we sailed thence, and came the next day over against Chios; and the next day we arrived at Samos, and tarried at Trogyllium; and the next day we came to Miletus.

16 ف َقَدْ قَرَّرَ بُولُسُ ألّا يَتَوَقَّفَ فِي أفَسُسَ لِئَلّا يُضطَرَّ لِقَضاءِ وَقتٍ فِي أسِيّا. إذْ كانَ يُرِيدُ الوُصُولَ إلَى مَدِينَةِ القُدسِ قَبلَ عيدِ يَومِ الخَمسِينَ إنْ أمَكَنَ. بُولُسُ يَتَحَدَّثُ إلَى الشُّيُوخِ فِي أفَسُس

For Paul had determined to sail by Ephesus, because he would not spend the time in Asia: for he hasted, if it were possible for him, to be at Jerusalem the day of Pentecost.

17 و َمِنْ مِيلِيتُسَ، أرسَلَ بُولُسُ إلَى شُيُوخِ الكَنِيسَةِ فِي أفَسُسَ طالِباً إلَيْهِمْ أنْ يُلاقُوهُ هُناكَ.

And from Miletus he sent to Ephesus, and called the elders of the church.

18 ف َلَمّا وَصَلُوا قالَ لَهُمْ: «أنتُمْ تَعلَمُونَ كَيفَ عِشتُ مَعَكُمْ طَوالَ الوَقتِ، مِنْ أوَّلِ يَومٍ وَصَلتُ فِيهِ إلَى أسِيّا.

And when they were come to him, he said unto them, Ye know, from the first day that I came into Asia, after what manner I have been with you at all seasons,

19 و َقَدْ خَدَمتُ الرَّبَّ بِكُلِّ تَواضُعٍ وَدُمُوعٍ. خَدَمتُهُ عَبرَ التَّجارِبِ الكَثِيرَةِ الَّتِي أصابَتنِي بِسَبَبِ مُؤامَراتِ اليَهُودِ.

Serving the Lord with all humility of mind, and with many tears, and temptations, which befell me by the lying in wait of the Jews:

20 و َأنتُمْ تَعلَمُونَ أنَّنِي لَمْ أتَرَدَّدْ فِي عَمَلِ أيِّ شَيءٍ لِمَنفَعَتِكُمْ. وَلَمْ أتَرَدَّدْ فِي إعلانِ هَذِهِ الأُمُورِ وَتَعلِيمِكُمْ إيّاها عَلَناً، وَمِنْ بَيْتٍ إلَى بَيتٍ.

And how I kept back nothing that was profitable unto you, but have shewed you, and have taught you publicly, and from house to house,

21 و َشَهِدتُ لِليَهُودِ وَاليُونانِيِّينَ عَلَى حَدٍّ سَواءِ داعِياً إيّاهُمْ إلَى التَّوبَةِ إلَى اللهِ، وَالإيمانِ بِرَبِّنا يَسُوعَ.

Testifying both to the Jews, and also to the Greeks, repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ.

22 « وَها أنا الآنَ ذاهِبٌ إلَى القُدسِ مَدفُوعاً مِنَ الرُّوحِ القُدُسِ، دُونَ أنْ أدرِيَ ما سَيَحدُثُ لِي هُناكَ.

And now, behold, I go bound in the spirit unto Jerusalem, not knowing the things that shall befall me there:

23 إ لّا أنَّ الرُّوحَ القُدُسَ يُحَذِّرُنِي فِي كُلِّ مَدِينَةٍ فَيَقولُ إنَّ الحَبسَ وَالصُّعُوباتِ فِي انتِظارِي.

Save that the Holy Ghost witnesseth in every city, saying that bonds and afflictions abide me.

24 ل َكِنْ لَيسَ ما سَيَحدُثُ لِي هُوَ المُهِّمُ، بَلِ المُهِمُّ أنْ أُكمِلَ السِّباقَ وَالمَهَمَّةَ الَّتِي أعطانِي إيّاها الرَّبُّ يَسُوعَ، وَهيَ أنْ أشهَدَ عَن بِشارَةِ نِعمَةِ اللهِ.»

But none of these things move me, neither count I my life dear unto myself, so that I might finish my course with joy, and the ministry, which I have received of the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of the grace of God.

25 و َقالَ: «وَأنا الآنَ أعلَمُ أنَّكُمْ لَنْ تَرَوا وَجهِي ثانِيَةً، أنتُمُ الَّذِينَ تَجَوَّلْتُ أُبَشِّرُكُمْ بِمَلَكوتِ اللهِ.

And now, behold, I know that ye all, among whom I have gone preaching the kingdom of God, shall see my face no more.

26 و َلِهَذا فَإنِّي أُعلِنُ لَكُمْ هَذا اليَومَ أنِّي غَيرُ مَسؤُولٍ عَنْ عَدَمِ خَلاصِ أيِّ واحِدٍ فِيكُمْ.

Wherefore I take you to record this day, that I am pure from the blood of all men.

27 ف َأنا لَمْ أتَرَدَّدْ فِي إخبارِكُمْ بِكُلِّ مَشِيئَةِ اللهِ.

For I have not shunned to declare unto you all the counsel of God.

28 ف َاحرُسُوا أنفُسَكُمْ وَكُلَّ الرَّعِيَّةِ الَّتي جَعَلَكُمِ الرُّوحُ القُدُسُ مُشْرِفِينَ عَلَيها، لِتَرعُوا كَنِيسَةَ اللهِ الَّتِي اشتَراها بِدَمِهِ.

Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood.

29 و َأنا أعرِفُ أنَّهُ بَعدَ رَحِيلِي سَتَتَسَلَّلُ بَينَكُمْ ذِئابٌ شَرِسَةٌ لا تَرحَمُ القَطِيعَ.

For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock.

30 و َسَيَظهَرُ رِجالٌ حَتَّى مِنْ بَينِكُمْ أنتُمْ يَقُولُونَ أشياءَ مُشَوَّهَةً لِيُضِلُّوا المُؤمِنِينَ.

Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them.

31 ف َكُونُوا مُتَيَقِّظِينَ! وَتَذَكَّرُوا أنِّي لَمْ أتَوَقَّفْ مُدَّةَ ثَلاثِ سَنَواتٍ عَنْ تَحذِيرِكُمْ بِدُمُوعٍ لَيلَ نَهار.

Therefore watch, and remember, that by the space of three years I ceased not to warn every one night and day with tears.

32 أ مّا الآنَ فَإنِّي أترُكُكُمْ فِي رِعايَةِ الله وَكَلِمَةِ نِعمَتِهِ القادِرَةِ عَلَى أنْ تَبنِيكُمْ وَأنْ تُعطِيَكُمْ مِيراثاً بَينَ كُلِّ المُقَدَّسِينَ.

And now, brethren, I commend you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among all them which are sanctified.

33 « أنا لَمْ أشتَهِ فِضَّةَ أحَدٍ مِنْكُمْ أوْ ذَهَبَهُ أوْ ثِيابَهُ.

I have coveted no man's silver, or gold, or apparel.

34 و َأنتُمْ أنفُسُكُمْ تَعلَمُونَ أنَّنِي سَدَدْتُ حاجاتِي وَحاجاتِ الَّذِينَ مَعِي مِنْ تَعَبِ يَدِيَّ.

Yea, ye yourselves know, that these hands have ministered unto my necessities, and to them that were with me.

35 و َقَدْ أرَيتُكُمْ فِي كُلِّ شَيءٍ عَمِلتُهُ مِثالاً عَلَى العَمَلِ الجادِّ الَّذِي يَنْبَغي أنْ نَخدِمَ بِهِ الضُّعَفاءَ. وَعَلَينا أنْ نَتَذَكَّرَ كَلامَ الرَّبِّ يَسُوعَ نَفسِهُ الَّذي قالَ: ‹فِي العَطاءِ بَرَكَةٌ أكثَرُ مِمّا فِي الأخذِ.›»

I have shewed you all things, how that so labouring ye ought to support the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, It is more blessed to give than to receive.

36 و َبَعدَ أنْ قالَ بُولُسُ هَذا، رَكَعَ مَعَهُمْ جَمِيعاً وَصَلَّى.

And when he had thus spoken, he kneeled down, and prayed with them all.

37 و َبَكَى الجَمِيعُ كَثِيراً، وَعانَقُوهُ وَقَبَّلُوهُ.

And they all wept sore, and fell on Paul's neck, and kissed him,

38 و َكانَ أكثَرَ ما أحزَنَهُمْ قَولُهُ إنَّهُمْ لَنْ يَرَوا وَجهَهُ ثانِيَةً. ثُمَّ رافَقُوهُ إلَى السَّفِينَةِ.

Sorrowing most of all for the words which he spake, that they should see his face no more. And they accompanied him unto the ship.
