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

After the uproar had ceased, Paul called the disciples to himself, embraced them, and departed to go to Macedonia.

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

Now when he had gone over that region and encouraged them with many words, he came to 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 stayed three months. And when the Jews plotted against him as he was about to sail to Syria, he decided 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 Sopater of Berea accompanied him to Asia—also Aristarchus and Secundus of the Thessalonians, and Gaius of Derbe, and Timothy, and Tychicus and Trophimus of Asia.

5 س َبَقَنا هَؤُلاءِ وَانتَظَرُونا فِي مَدِينَةِ ترُواسَ.

These men, going ahead, waited 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

But we sailed away from Philippi after the Days of Unleavened Bread, and in five days joined them at Troas, where we stayed seven days. Ministering at Troas

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.

Now on the first day of the week, when the disciples came together to break bread, Paul, ready to depart the next day, spoke to them and continued his message until midnight.

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

There were many lamps in the upper room 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 in a window sat a certain young man named Eutychus, who was sinking into a deep sleep. He was overcome by sleep; and as Paul continued speaking, he fell down from the third story and was taken up dead.

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

But Paul went down, fell on him, and embracing him said, “Do not trouble yourselves, for his life is in him.”

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

Now when he had come up, had broken bread and eaten, and talked a long while, even till daybreak, he departed.

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

And they brought the young man in alive, and they were not a little comforted. From Troas to Miletus

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.

Then we went ahead to the ship and sailed to Assos, there intending to take Paul on board; for so he had given orders, intending himself to go on foot.

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

And when he met us at Assos, we took him on board 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.

We sailed from there, and the next day came opposite Chios. The following day we arrived at Samos and stayed at Trogyllium. 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 decided to sail past Ephesus, so that he would not have to spend time in Asia; for he was hurrying to be at Jerusalem, if possible, on the Day of Pentecost. The Ephesian Elders Exhorted

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

From Miletus he sent to Ephesus and called for 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 had come to him, he said to them: “You know, from the first day that I came to Asia, in what manner I always lived among you,

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

serving the Lord with all humility, with many tears and trials which happened to me by the plotting 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.

how I kept back nothing that was helpful, but proclaimed it to you, and 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 to Jews, and also to 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 see, now I go bound in the spirit to Jerusalem, not knowing the things that will happen to me there,

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

except that the Holy Spirit testifies in every city, saying that chains and tribulations await 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; nor do I count my life dear to myself, so that I may finish my race with joy, and the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify to 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 indeed, now I know that you all, among whom I have gone preaching the kingdom of God, will see my face no more.

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

Therefore I testify to you this day that I am innocent of the blood of all men.

27 ف َأنا لَمْ أتَرَدَّدْ فِي إخبارِكُمْ بِكُلِّ مَشِيئَةِ اللهِ.

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

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

Therefore take heed to yourselves and to all the flock, among which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to shepherd the church of God which He 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 departure savage wolves will come in among you, not sparing the flock.

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

Also from among yourselves men will rise up, speaking perverse things, to draw away the disciples after themselves.

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

Therefore watch, and remember that for three years I did not cease to warn everyone 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.

“So now, brethren, I commend you to God and to the word of His grace, which is able to build you up and give you an inheritance among all those who are sanctified.

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

I have coveted no one’s silver or gold or apparel.

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

Yes, you yourselves know that these hands have provided for my necessities, and for those who 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 shown you in every way, by laboring like this, that you must support the weak. And remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that 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 said these things, he knelt down and prayed with them all.

37 و َبَكَى الجَمِيعُ كَثِيراً، وَعانَقُوهُ وَقَبَّلُوهُ.

Then they all wept freely, 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 spoke, that they would see his face no more. And they accompanied him to the ship.
