1 ¶ And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.

وَعِندَما جاءَ عِيدُ يُومِ الخَمسِينَ، كانُوا كُلُّهُمْ مُجتَمِعِينَ مَعاً فِي مَكانٍ واحِدٍ.

2 A nd suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.

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

3 A nd there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them.

وَإذا بِألسِنَةٍ شَبِيهَةٍ بِنارٍ تَظهَرُ لَهُمْ، وَتَتَوَزَّعُ عَلَى كُلِّ واحِدٍ مِنهُمْ.

4 A nd they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.

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

5 ¶ (And there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, out of every nation under heaven.)

وَكانَ هُناكَ يَهُودٌ أتقِياءٌ مِنْ كُلِّ أُمَّةٍ عَلَى الأرْضِ قَدِ اجْتَمَعوا فِي مَدينَةِ القُدسِ.

6 N ow at this sound, the multitude came together and were confounded because each one heard them speak in his own tongue.

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

7 A nd they were all amazed and marvelled, saying one to another, Behold, are not all these who speak Galilaeans?

فَكانُوا مَذهُولِينَ وَقالُوا مُتَعَجِّبِينَ: «ألَيسَ كُلُّ هَؤُلاءِ الَّذِينَ يَتَكَلَّمُونَ هُمْ مِنَ الجَليلِ؟

8 A nd how do we hear each one speak in our own tongue, with which we were brought up?

فَكَيفَ يَسمَعُهُمْ كُلُّ واحِدٍ مِنّا يَتَكَلَّمُونَ بِلُغَتِهِ الَّتي وُلِدَ فيها؟»

9 P arthians and Medes and Elamites and the dwellers in Mesopotamia and in Judaea and Cappadocia, in Pontus and Asia,

فَقَدْ لاحَظُوا أنَّهُمْ فَرْتِيُّونَ وَمادِيُّونَ وَعِيلامِيُّونَ، وَمِنْ أهلِ ما بَينَ النَّهرَينِ وَاليَهُودِيَّةِ وَكَبَّدُوكِيَّةَ وَبُنطُسَ وَأسِيّا

10 P hrygia and Pamphylia, in Egypt and in the parts of Libya about Cyrene, and strangers of Rome, Jews and proselytes,

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

11 C retes and Arabians, we hear them speak in our tongues the wonderful works of God.

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

12 A nd they were all amazed and were in doubt, saying one to another, What does this mean?

فَكانُوا جَمِيعاً مَذهُولِينَ وَمُتَحَيِّرِينَ، يَقُولُونَ بَعْضُهُمْ لِبَعْضٍ: «ما الَّذِي يَعنِيهِ هَذا؟»

13 O thers mocking said, These men are full of new wine.

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

14 ¶ Then Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice and said unto them, Ye men of Judaea and all ye that dwell in Jerusalem, be this known unto you and hearken to my words;

ثُمَّ 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.

15 f or these are not drunken, as ye suppose, seeing it is but the third hour of the day.

ما هَؤُلاءِ بِسُكارَى كَما تَعتَقِدونَ، فَالوَقتُ لا يَتَجاوَزُ التّاسِعَةَ صَباحاً.

16 B ut this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel:

لَكِنْ هَذا هُوَ ما تَحَدَّثَ عَنهُ النَّبِيُّ يُوئِيلُ:

17 A nd it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams;

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

18 a nd for certain on my slaves and on my handmaids I will pour out in those days of my Spirit, and they shall prophesy;

فِي تِلكَ الأيّامِ، سَأسكُبُ رُوحِي عَلَى عَبِيدِي، رِجالاً وَنِساءً، وَسَيَتَنَبَّأُونَ.

19 a nd I will show wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath: blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke;

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

20 t he sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood before that great and notable day of the Lord shall come;

الشَّمسُ سَتَتَحَوَّلُ إلَى ظُلمَةٍ، وَالقَمَرُ إلَى دَمٍ، قَبلَ أنْ يَأتِيَ يَومُ الرَّبِّ العَظِيمُ المَجِيدُ،

21 a nd it shall come to pass that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.

حينَ يَخلُصُ كُلُّ مَنْ يَدعُو بِاسْمِ الرَّبِّ.›

22 Y e men of Israel, hear these words: Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know,

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

23 h im, being delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye have taken and by wicked hands have crucified and slain,

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

24 w hom God has raised up, having loosed the pains of death because it was not possible for him to be held by it.

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

25 F or David speaks concerning him, I foresaw the Lord always before my face, for he is on my right hand, that I should not be moved,

فَداوُدُ يَقُولُ عَنهُ: ‹رَأيتُ الرَّبَّ أمامِي دائِماً. هُوَ عَنْ يَمِينِي فَلَنْ أضطَرِبَ.

26 t herefore did my heart rejoice, and my tongue was glad; moreover even my flesh shall rest in hope

لِهَذا فَرِحَ قَلبِي، وَابتَهَجَ لِسانِي، فَجَسَدِي أيضاً سَيَحيا بِالرَّجاءِ.

27 b ecause thou wilt not leave my soul in Hades, neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.

لِأنَّكَ لَنْ تَترُكَ نَفسِي فِي الهاوِيَةِ. لَنْ تَدَعَ جَسَدَ قُدُّوسِكَ يَتَعَفَّنُ.

28 T hou hast made known to me the ways of life; thou shalt make me full of joy with thy countenance.

عَرَّفتَنِي طُرُقَ الحَياةِ، وَسَتَملأُنِي فَرَحاً بِحُضُورِكَ.›

29 M en and brethren, let me freely speak unto you of the patriarch David, that he is both dead and buried, and his sepulchre is with us unto this day.

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

30 T herefore being a prophet and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him that of the fruit of his loins, according to the flesh, he would raise up the Christ to sit on his throne;

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

31 h e, seeing this before, spoke of the resurrection of the Christ, that his soul was not left in Hades, neither did his flesh see corruption.

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

32 T his Jesus God has raised up, of whom we all are witnesses.

لَقَدْ أقامَ اللهُ يَسُوعَ هَذا مِنَ المَوتِ، وَنَحنُ كُلُّنا شُهُودٌ لِتِلكَ الحَقِيقَةِ.

33 T herefore being raised up by the right hand of God and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, he has poured out this which ye now see and hear.

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

34 F or David did not ascend into the heavens, but he saith himself, The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand

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

35 u ntil I make thy foes thy footstool.

إلَى أنْ أجعَلَ أعداءَكَ مَداساً لِرِجلَيكَ.›

36 T herefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly that God has made this same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ.

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

37 ¶ Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do?

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

38 T hen Peter said unto them, Repent and be baptized each one of you into the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

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

39 F or the promise is unto you and to your children and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call.

فَالوَعدُ هُوَ لَكُمْ وَلِأبنائِكُمْ وَلِكُلِّ الأُمَمِ البَعِيدِينَ، أيْ كُلِّ مَنْ يَدعُوهُ الرَّبُّ إلَهُنا.»

40 A nd with many other words he testified and exhorted, saying, Be saved from this perverse generation.

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

41 S o that those who gladly received his word were baptized, and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls.

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

42 ¶ And they continued steadfastly in the apostles’ doctrine and fellowship and in breaking of bread and in prayers.

وَكانُوا مُنْشَغِلينَ بِتَعلِيمِ الرُّسُلِ، وَالشَّرِكَةِ، وَكَسْرِ الخُبزِ وَالصَّلَواتِ. تَشارُكُ المُؤمِنِينَ فِي كُلِّ شَيء

43 A nd fear came upon every soul, and many wonders and signs were done by the apostles.

وَتَمَلَّكَ الجَمِيعَ إحساسٌ بِالرَّهبَةِ، لِأنَّ الرُّسُلَ كانُوا يُجرُونَ عَجائِبَ وَمُعْجِزاتٍ كَثِيرَةً.

44 A nd all that believed were together and had all things common

وَكانَ كُلُّ المُؤمِنِيْنَ يَجتَمِعُونَ مَعاً وَيَتَشارَكُونَ فِي كُلِّ ما يَملِكُونَهُ.

45 a nd sold their possessions and property and distributed them to everyone, as each one had need.

باعُوا أملاكَهُمْ وَمُقتَنَياتِهِمْ، وَوَزَّعُوا ثَمَنَها عَلَى الجَمِيعِ، كُلِّ واحِدٍ حَسَبَ احتِياجِهِ.

46 A nd they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple and breaking bread from house to house, they ate their food together with gladness and singleness of heart,

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

47 p raising God and having grace with all the people. And the Lord added to the congregation daily such as should be saved.

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