1And it came to pass, while Apollo was at Corinth, that Paul having passed through the upper coasts, came to Ephesus, and found certain disciples.
1فَحَدَثَ فِيمَا كَانَ أَبُلُّوسُ فِي كُورِنْثُوسَ، أَنَّ بُولُسَ بَعْدَ مَا ٱجْتَازَ فِي ٱلنَّوَاحِي ٱلْعَالِيَةِ جَاءَ إِلَى أَفَسُسَ. فَإِذْ وَجَدَ تَلَامِيذَ
2And he said to them: Have you received the Holy Ghost since ye believed? But they said to him: We have not so much as heard whether there be a Holy Ghost.
2قَالَ لَهُمْ: «هَلْ قَبِلْتُمُ ٱلرُّوحَ ٱلْقُدُسَ لَمَّا آمَنْتُمْ؟». قَالُوا لَهُ: «وَلَا سَمِعْنَا أَنَّهُ يُوجَدُ ٱلرُّوحُ ٱلْقُدُسُ».
3And he said: In what then were you baptized? Who said: In John’s baptism.
3فَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «فَبِمَاذَا ٱعْتَمَدْتُمْ؟». فَقَالُوا: «بِمَعْمُودِيَّةِ يُوحَنَّا».
4Then Paul said: John baptized the people with the baptism of penance, saying: That they should believe in him who was to come after him, that is to say, in Jesus.
4فَقَالَ بُولُسُ: «إِنَّ يُوحَنَّا عَمَّدَ بِمَعْمُودِيَّةِ ٱلتَّوْبَةِ، قَائِلًا لِلشَّعْبِ أَنْ يُؤْمِنُوا بِالَّذِي يَأْتِي بَعْدَهُ، أَيْ بِٱلْمَسِيحِ يَسُوعَ».
5Having heard these things, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.
5فَلَمَّا سَمِعُوا ٱعْتَمَدُوا بِٱسْمِ ٱلرَّبِّ يَسُوعَ.
6And when Paul had imposed his hands on them, the Holy Ghost came upon them, and they spoke with tongues and prophesied.
6وَلَمَّا وَضَعَ بُولُسُ يَدَيْهِ عَلَيْهِمْ حَلَّ ٱلرُّوحُ ٱلْقُدُسُ عَلَيْهِمْ، فَطَفِقُوا يَتَكَلَّمُونَ بِلُغَاتٍ وَيَتَنَبَّأُونَ.
7And all the men were about twelve.
7وَكَانَ جَمِيعُ ٱلرِّجَالِ نَحْوَ ٱثْنَيْ عَشَرَ.
8And entering into the synagogue, he spoke boldly for the space of three months, disputing and exhorting concerning the kingdom of God.
8ثُمَّ دَخَلَ ٱلْمَجْمَعَ، وَكَانَ يُجَاهِرُ مُدَّةَ ثَلَاثَةِ أَشْهُرٍ مُحَاجًّا وَمُقْنِعًا فِي مَا يَخْتَصُّ بِمَلَكُوتِ ٱللهِ.
9But when some were hardened, and believed not, speaking evil of the way of the Lord, before the multitude, departing from them, he separated the disciples, disputing daily in the school of one Tyrannus.
9وَلَمَّا كَانَ قَوْمٌ يَتَقَسَّوْنَ وَلَا يَقْنَعُونَ، شَاتِمِينَ ٱلطَّرِيقَ أَمَامَ ٱلْجُمْهُورِ، ٱعْتَزَلَ عَنْهُمْ وَأَفْرَزَ ٱلتَّلَامِيذَ، مُحَاجًّا كُلَّ يَوْمٍ فِي مَدْرَسَةِ إِنْسَانٍ ٱسْمُهُ تِيرَانُّسُ.
10And this continued for the space of two years, so that all they who dwelt in Asia, heard the word of the Lord, both Jews and Gentiles.
10وَكَانَ ذَلِكَ مُدَّةَ سَنَتَيْنِ، حَتَّى سَمِعَ كَلِمَةَ ٱلرَّبِّ يَسُوعَ جَمِيعُ ٱلسَّاكِنِينَ فِي أَسِيَّا، مِنْ يَهُودٍ وَيُونَانِيِّينَ.
11And God wrought by the hand of Paul more than common miracles.
11وَكَانَ ٱللهُ يَصْنَعُ عَلَى يَدَيْ بُولُسَ قُوَّاتٍ غَيْرَ ٱلْمُعْتَادَةِ،
12So that even there were brought from his body to the sick, handkerchiefs and aprons, and the diseases departed from them, and the wicked spirits went out of them.
12حَتَّى كَانَ يُؤْتَى عَنْ جَسَدِهِ بِمَنَادِيلَ أَوْ مَآزِرَ إِلَى ٱلْمَرْضَى، فَتَزُولُ عَنْهُمُ ٱلْأَمْرَاضُ، وَتَخْرُجُ ٱلْأَرْوَاحُ ٱلشِّرِّيرَةُ مِنْهُمْ.
13Now some also of the Jewish exorcists who went about, attempted to invoke over them that had evil spirits, the name of the Lord Jesus, saying: I conjure you by Jesus, whom Paul preacheth.
13فَشَرَعَ قَوْمٌ مِنَ ٱلْيَهُودِ ٱلطَّوَّافِينَ ٱلْمُعَزِّمِينَ أَنْ يُسَمُّوا عَلَى ٱلَّذِينَ بِهِمِ ٱلْأَرْوَاحُ ٱلشِّرِّيرَةُ بِٱسْمِ ٱلرَّبِّ يَسُوعَ، قَائِلِينَ: «نُقْسِمُ عَلَيْكَ بِيَسُوعَ ٱلَّذِي يَكْرِزُ بِهِ بُولُسُ!».
14And there were certain men, seven sons of Sceva, a Jew, a chief priest, that did this.
14وَكَانَ سَبْعَةُ بَنِينَ لِسَكَاوَا، رَجُلٍ يَهُودِيٍّ رَئِيسِ كَهَنَةٍ، ٱلَّذِينَ فَعَلُوا هَذَا.
15But the wicked spirit, answering, said to them: Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are you?
15فَأَجَابَ ٱلرُّوحُ ٱلشِّرِّيرُ وَقَالَ: «أَمَّا يَسُوعُ فَأَنَا أَعْرِفُهُ، وَبُولُسُ أَنَا أَعْلَمُهُ، وَأَمَّا أَنْتُمْ فَمَنْ أَنْتُمْ؟»
16And the man in whom the wicked spirit was, leaping upon them, and mastering them both, prevailed against them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded.
16فَوَثَبَ عَلَيْهِمُ ٱلْإِنْسَانُ ٱلَّذِي كَانَ فِيهِ ٱلرُّوحُ ٱلشِّرِّيرُ، وَغَلَبَهُمْ وَقَوِيَ عَلَيْهِمْ، حَتَّى هَرَبُوا مِنْ ذَلِكَ ٱلْبَيْتِ عُرَاةً وَمُجَرَّحِينَ.
17And this became known to all the Jews and the Gentiles that dwelt at Ephesus; and fear fell on them all, and the name of the Lord Jesus was magnified.
17وَصَارَ هَذَا مَعْلُومًا عِنْدَ جَمِيعِ ٱلْيَهُودِ وَٱلْيُونَانِيِّينَ ٱلسَّاكِنِينَ فِي أَفَسُسَ. فَوَقَعَ خَوْفٌ عَلَى جَمِيعِهِمْ، وَكَانَ ٱسْمُ ٱلرَّبِّ يَسُوعَ يَتَعَظَّمُ.
18And many of them that believed, came confessing and declaring their deeds.
18وَكَانَ كَثِيرُونَ مِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ آمَنُوا يَأْتُونَ مُقِرِّينَ وَمُخْبِرِينَ بِأَفْعَالِهِمْ،
19And many of them who had followed curious arts, brought together their books, and burnt them before all; and counting the price of them, they found the money to be fifty thousand pieces of silver.
19وَكَانَ كَثِيرُونَ مِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ يَسْتَعْمِلُونَ ٱلسِّحْرَ يَجْمَعُونَ ٱلْكُتُبَ وَيُحَرِّقُونَهَا أَمَامَ ٱلْجَمِيعِ. وَحَسَبُوا أَثْمَانَهَا فَوَجَدُوهَا خَمْسِينَ أَلْفًا مِنَ ٱلْفِضَّةِ.
20So mightily grew the word of God, and was confirmed.
20هَكَذَا كَانَتْ كَلِمَةُ ٱلرَّبِّ تَنْمُو وَتَقْوَى بِشِدَّةٍ.
21And when these things were ended, Paul purposed in the spirit, when he had passed through Macedonia and Achaia, to go to Jerusalem, saying: After I have been there, I must see Rome also.
21وَلَمَّا كَمِلَتْ هَذِهِ ٱلْأُمُورُ، وَضَعَ بُولُسُ فِي نَفْسِهِ أَنَّهُ بَعْدَمَا يَجْتَازُ فِي مَكِدُونِيَّةَ وَأَخَائِيَةَ يَذْهَبُ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ، قَائِلًا: «إِنِّي بَعْدَ مَا أَصِيرُ هُنَاكَ يَنْبَغِي أَنْ أَرَى رُومِيَةَ أَيْضًا».
22And sending into Macedonia two of them that ministered to him, Timothy and Erastus, he himself remained for a time in Asia.
22فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَى مَكِدُونِيَّةَ ٱثْنَيْنِ مِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَانُوا يَخْدِمُونَهُ: تِيمُوثَاوُسَ وَأَرَسْطُوسَ، وَلَبِثَ هُوَ زَمَانًا فِي أَسِيَّا.
23Now at that time there arose no small disturbance about the way of the Lord.
23وَحَدَثَ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْوَقْتِ شَغَبٌ لَيْسَ بِقَلِيلٍ بِسَبَبِ هَذَا ٱلطَّرِيقِ،
24For a certain man named Demetrius, a silversmith, who made silver temples for Diana, brought no small gain to the craftsmen;
24لِأَنَّ إِنْسَانًا ٱسْمُهُ دِيمِتْرِيُوسُ، صَائِغٌ صَانِعُ هَيَاكِلِ فِضَّةٍ لِأَرْطَامِيسَ، كَانَ يُكَسِّبُ ٱلصُّنَّاعَ مَكْسَبًا لَيْسَ بِقَلِيلٍ.
25Whom he calling together, with the workmen of like occupation, said: Sirs, you know that our gain is by this trade;
25فَجَمَعَهُمْ وَٱلْفَعَلَةَ فِي مِثْلِ ذَلِكَ ٱلْعَمَلِ وَقَالَ: «أَيُّهَا ٱلرِّجَالُ أَنْتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ أَنَّ سِعَتَنَا إِنَّمَا هِيَ مِنْ هَذِهِ ٱلصِّنَاعَةِ.
26And you see and hear, that this Paul by persuasion hath drawn away a great multitude, not only of Ephesus, but almost of all Asia, saying: They are not gods which are made by hands.
26وَأَنْتُمْ تَنْظُرُونَ وَتَسْمَعُونَ أَنَّهُ لَيْسَ مِنْ أَفَسُسَ فَقَطْ، بَلْ مِنْ جَمِيعِ أَسِيَّا تَقْرِيبًا، ٱسْتَمَالَ وَأَزَاغَ بُولُسُ هَذَا جَمْعًا كَثِيرًا قَائِلًا: إِنَّ ٱلَّتِي تُصْنَعُ بِٱلْأَيَادِي لَيْسَتْ آلِهَةً.
27So that not only this our craft is in danger to be set at nought, but also the temple of great Diana shall be reputed for nothing; yea, and her majesty shall begin to be destroyed, whom all Asia and the world worshippeth.
27فَلَيْسَ نَصِيبُنَا هَذَا وَحْدَهُ فِي خَطَرٍ مِنْ أَنْ يَحْصُلَ فِي إِهَانَةٍ، بَلْ أَيْضًا هَيْكَلُ أَرْطَامِيسَ، ٱلْإِلَهَةِ ٱلْعَظِيمَةِ، أَنْ يُحْسَبَ لَا شَيْءَ، وَأَنْ سَوْفَ تُهْدَمُ عَظَمَتُهَا، هِيَ ٱلَّتِي يَعْبُدُهَا جَمِيعُ أَسِيَّا وَٱلْمَسْكُونَةِ».
28Having heard these things, they were full of anger, and cried out, saying: Great is Diana of the Ephesians.
28فَلَمَّا سَمِعُوا ٱمْتَلَأُوا غَضَبًا، وَطَفِقُوا يَصْرُخُونَ قَائِلِينَ: «عَظِيمَةٌ هِيَ أَرْطَامِيسُ ٱلْأَفَسُسِيِّينَ!».
29And the whole city was filled with confusion; and having caught Gaius and Aristarchus, men of Macedonia, Paul’s companions, they rushed with one accord into the theatre.
29فَٱمْتَلَأَتِ ٱلْمَدِينَةُ كُلُّهَا ٱضْطِرَابًا، وَٱنْدَفَعُوا بِنَفْسٍ وَاحِدَةٍ إِلَى ٱلْمَشْهَدِ خَاطِفِينَ مَعَهُمْ غَايُوسَ وَأَرِسْتَرْخُسَ ٱلْمَكِدُونِيَّيْنِ، رَفِيقَيْ بُولُسَ فِي ٱلسَّفَرِ.
30And when Paul would have entered in unto the people, the disciples suffered him not.
30وَلَمَّا كَانَ بُولُسُ يُرِيدُ أَنْ يَدْخُلَ بَيْنَ ٱلشَّعْبِ، لَمْ يَدَعْهُ ٱلتَّلَامِيذُ.
31And some also of the rulers of Asia, who were his friends, sent unto him, desiring that he would not venture himself into the theatre.
31وَأُنَاسٌ مِنْ وُجُوهِ أَسِيَّا، كَانُوا أَصْدِقَاءَهُ، أَرْسَلُوا يَطْلُبُونَ إِلَيْهِ أَنْ لَا يُسَلِّمَ نَفْسَهُ إِلَى ٱلْمَشْهَدِ.
32Now some cried one thing, some another. For the assembly was confused, and the greater part knew not for what cause they were come together.
32وَكَانَ ٱلْبَعْضُ يَصْرُخُونَ بِشَيْءٍ وَٱلْبَعْضُ بِشَيْءٍ آخَرَ، لِأَنَّ ٱلْمَحْفِلَ كَانَ مُضْطَرِبًا، وَأَكْثَرُهُمْ لَا يَدْرُونَ لِأَيِّ شَيْءٍ كَانُوا قَدِ ٱجْتَمَعُوا!
33And they drew forth Alexander out of the multitude, the Jews thrusting him forward. And Alexander beckoning with his hand for silence, would have given the people satisfaction.
33فَٱجْتَذَبُوا إِسْكَنْدَرَ مِنَ ٱلْجَمْعِ، وَكَانَ ٱلْيَهُودُ يَدْفَعُونَهُ. فَأَشَارَ إِسْكَنْدَرُ بِيَدِهِ يُرِيدُ أَنْ يَحْتَجَّ لِلشَّعْبِ.
34But as soon as they perceived him to be a Jew, all with one voice, for the space of about two hours, cried out: Great is Diana of the Ephesians.
34فَلَمَّا عَرَفُوا أَنَّهُ يَهُودِيٌّ، صَارَ صَوْتٌ وَاحِدٌ مِنَ ٱلْجَمِيعِ صَارِخِينَ نَحْوَ مُدَّةِ سَاعَتَيْنِ: «عَظِيمَةٌ هِيَ أَرْطَامِيسُ ٱلْأَفَسُسِيِّينَ!».
35And when the town clerk had appeased the multitudes, he said: Ye men of Ephesus, what man is there that knoweth not that the city of the Ephesians is a worshipper of the great Diana, and of Jupiter’s offspring.
35ثُمَّ سَكَّنَ ٱلْكَاتِبُ ٱلْجَمْعَ وَقَالَ: «أَيُّهَا ٱلرِّجَالُ ٱلْأَفَسُسِيُّونَ، مَنْ هُوَ ٱلْإِنْسَانُ ٱلَّذِي لَا يَعْلَمُ أَنَّ مَدِينَةَ ٱلْأَفَسُسِيِّينَ مُتَعَبِّدَةٌ لِأَرْطَامِيسَ ٱلْإِلَهَةِ ٱلْعَظِيمَةِ وَٱلتِّمْثَالِ ٱلَّذِي هَبَطَ مِنْ زَفْسَ؟
36For as much therefore as these things cannot be contradicted, you ought to be quiet, and to do nothing rashly.
36فَإِذْ كَانَتْ هَذِهِ ٱلْأَشْيَاءُ لَا تُقَاوَمُ، يَنْبَغِي أَنْ تَكُونُوا هَادِئِينَ وَلَا تَفْعَلُوا شَيْئًا ٱقْتِحَامًا.
37For you have brought hither these men, who are neither guilty of sacrilege, nor of blasphemy against your goddess.
37لِأَنَّكُمْ أَتَيْتُمْ بِهَذَيْنِ ٱلرَّجُلَيْنِ، وَهُمَا لَيْسَا سَارِقَيْ هَيَاكِلَ، وَلَا مُجَدِّفَيْنِ عَلَى إِلَهَتِكُمْ.
38But if Demetrius and the craftsmen that are with him, have a matter against any man, the courts of justice are open, and there are proconsuls: let them accuse one another.
38فَإِنْ كَانَ دِيمِتْرِيُوسُ وَٱلصُّنَّاعُ ٱلَّذِينَ مَعَهُ لَهُمْ دَعْوَى عَلَى أَحَدٍ، فَإِنَّهُ تُقَامُ أَيَّامٌ لِلْقَضَاءِ، وَيُوجَدُ وُلَاةٌ، فَلْيُرَافِعُوا بَعْضُهُمْ بَعْضًا.
39And if you inquire after any other matter, it may be decided in a lawful assembly.
39وَإِنْ كُنْتُمْ تَطْلُبُونَ شَيْئًا مِنْ جِهَةِ أُمُورٍ أُخَرَ، فَإِنَّهُ يُقْضَى فِي مَحْفِلٍ شَرْعِيٍّ.
40For we are even in danger to be called in question for this day’s uproar, there being no man guilty (of whom we may give account) of this concourse. And when he had said these things, he dismissed the assembly.
40لِأَنَّنَا فِي خَطَرٍ أَنْ نُحَاكَمَ مِنْ أَجْلِ فِتْنَةِ هَذَا ٱلْيَوْمِ. وَلَيْسَ عِلَّةٌ يُمْكِنُنَا مِنْ أَجْلِهَا أَنْ نُقَدِّمَ حِسَابًا عَنْ هَذَا ٱلتَّجَمُّعِ».
