1Now there was a certain man in Caesarea, Cornelius by name, a centurion of what was called the Italian Regiment,
1وَكَانَ فِي قَيْصَرِيَّةَ رَجُلٌ ٱسْمُهُ كَرْنِيلِيُوسُ، قَائِدُ مِئَةٍ مِنَ ٱلْكَتِيبَةِ ٱلَّتِي تُدْعَى ٱلْإِيطَالِيَّةَ.
2a devout man, and one who feared God with all his house, who gave gifts for the needy generously to the people, and always prayed to God.
2وَهُوَ تَقِيٌّ وَخَائِفُ ٱللهِ مَعَ جَمِيعِ بَيْتِهِ، يَصْنَعُ حَسَنَاتٍ كَثِيرَةً لِلشَّعْبِ، وَيُصَلِّي إِلَى ٱللهِ فِي كُلِّ حِينٍ.
3At about the ninth hour of the day, he clearly saw in a vision an angel of God coming to him and saying to him, “Cornelius!”
3فَرَأَى ظَاهِرًا فِي رُؤْيَا نَحْوَ ٱلسَّاعَةِ ٱلتَّاسِعَةِ مِنَ ٱلنَّهَارِ، مَلَاكًا مِنَ ٱللهِ دَاخِلًا إِلَيْهِ وَقَائِلًا لَهُ: «يَا كَرْنِيلِيُوسُ!».
4He, fastening his eyes on him and being frightened, said, “What is it, Lord?” He said to him, “Your prayers and your gifts to the needy have gone up for a memorial before God.
4فَلَمَّا شَخَصَ إِلَيْهِ وَدَخَلَهُ ٱلْخَوْفُ، قَالَ: «مَاذَا يَا سَيِّدُ؟».فَقَالَ لَهُ: «صَلَوَاتُكَ وَصَدَقَاتُكَ صَعِدَتْ تَذْكَارًا أَمَامَ ٱللهِ.
5Now send men to Joppa, and get Simon, who is also called Peter.
5وَٱلْآنَ أَرْسِلْ إِلَى يَافَا رِجَالًا وَٱسْتَدْعِ سِمْعَانَ ٱلْمُلَقَّبَ بُطْرُسَ.
6He is staying with a tanner named Simon, whose house is by the seaside.
6إِنَّهُ نَازِلٌ عِنْدَ سِمْعَانَ رَجُلٍ دَبَّاغٍ بَيْتُهُ عِنْدَ ٱلْبَحْرِ. هُوَ يَقُولُ لَكَ مَاذَا يَنْبَغِي أَنْ تَفْعَلَ».
7When the angel who spoke to him had departed, Cornelius called two of his household servants and a devout soldier of those who waited on him continually.
7فَلَمَّا ٱنْطَلَقَ ٱلْمَلَاكُ ٱلَّذِي كَانَ يُكَلِّمُ كَرْنِيلِيُوسَ، نَادَى ٱثْنَيْنِ مِنْ خُدَّامِهِ، وَعَسْكَرِيًّا تَقِيًّا مِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَانُوا يُلَازِمُونَهُ،
8Having explained everything to them, he sent them to Joppa.
8وَأَخْبَرَهُمْ بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ وَأَرْسَلَهُمْ إِلَى يَافَا.
9Now on the next day as they were on their journey and got close to the city, Peter went up on the housetop to pray at about noon.
9ثُمَّ فِي ٱلْغَدِ فِيمَا هُمْ يُسَافِرُونَ وَيَقْتَرِبُونَ إِلَى ٱلْمَدِينَةِ، صَعِدَ بُطْرُسُ عَلَى ٱلسَّطْحِ لِيُصَلِّيَ نَحْوَ ٱلسَّاعَةِ ٱلسَّادِسَةِ.
10He became hungry and desired to eat, but while they were preparing, he fell into a trance.
10فَجَاعَ كَثِيرًا وَٱشْتَهَى أَنْ يَأْكُلَ. وَبَيْنَمَا هُمْ يُهَيِّئُونَ لَهُ، وَقَعَتْ عَلَيْهِ غَيْبَةٌ،
11He saw heaven opened and a certain container descending to him, like a great sheet let down by four corners on the earth,
11فَرَأَى ٱلسَّمَاءَ مَفْتُوحَةً، وَإِنَاءً نَازِلًا عَلَيْهِ مِثْلَ مُلَاءَةٍ عَظِيمَةٍ مَرْبُوطَةٍ بِأَرْبَعَةِ أَطْرَافٍ وَمُدَلَّاةٍ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ.
12in which were all kinds of four-footed animals of the earth, wild animals, reptiles, and birds of the sky.
12وَكَانَ فِيهَا كُلُّ دَوَابِّ ٱلْأَرْضِ وَٱلْوُحُوشِ وَٱلزَّحَّافَاتِ وَطُيُورِ ٱلسَّمَاءِ.
13A voice came to him, “Rise, Peter, kill and eat!”
13وَصَارَ إِلَيْهِ صَوْتٌ: «قُمْ يَا بُطْرُسُ، ٱذْبَحْ وَكُلْ».
14But Peter said, “Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten anything that is common or unclean.”
14فَقَالَ بُطْرُسُ: «كَلَّا يَارَبُّ! لِأَنِّي لَمْ آكُلْ قَطُّ شَيْئًا دَنِسًا أَوْ نَجِسًا».
15A voice came to him again the second time, “What God has cleansed, you must not call unclean.”
15فَصَارَ إِلَيْهِ أَيْضًا صَوْتٌ ثَانِيَةً: «مَا طَهَّرَهُ ٱللهُ لَا تُدَنِّسْهُ أَنْتَ!».
16This was done three times, and immediately the thing was received up into heaven.
16وَكَانَ هَذَا عَلَى ثَلَاثِ مَرَّاتٍ، ثُمَّ ٱرْتَفَعَ ٱلْإِنَاءُ أَيْضًا إِلَى ٱلسَّمَاءِ.
17Now while Peter was very perplexed in himself what the vision which he had seen might mean, behold, the men who were sent by Cornelius, having made inquiry for Simon’s house, stood before the gate,
17وَإِذْ كَانَ بُطْرُسُ يَرْتَابُ فِي نَفْسِهِ: مَاذَا عَسَى أَنْ تَكُونَ ٱلرُّؤْيَا ٱلَّتِي رَآهَا؟ إِذَا ٱلرِّجَالُ ٱلَّذِينَ أُرْسِلُوا مِنْ قِبَلِ كَرْنِيلِيُوسَ، وكَانُوا قَدْ سَأَلُوا عَنْ بَيْتِ سِمْعَانَ وَقَدْ وَقَفُوا عَلَى ٱلْبَابِ
18and called and asked whether Simon, who was also called Peter, was lodging there.
18وَنَادَوْا يَسْتَخْبِرُونَ: «هَلْ سِمْعَانُ ٱلْمُلَقَّبُ بُطْرُسَ نَازِلٌ هُنَاكَ؟».
19While Peter was pondering the vision, the Spirit said to him, “Behold, three men seek you.
19وَبَيْنَمَا بُطْرُسُ مُتَفَكِّرٌ فِي ٱلرُّؤْيَا، قَالَ لَهُ ٱلرُّوحُ: «هُوَذَا ثَلَاثَةُ رِجَالٍ يَطْلُبُونَكَ.
20But arise, get down, and go with them, doubting nothing; for I have sent them.”
20لَكِنْ قُمْ وَٱنْزِلْ وَٱذْهَبْ مَعَهُمْ غَيْرَ مُرْتَابٍ فِي شَيْءٍ، لِأَنِّي أَنَا قَدْ أَرْسَلْتُهُمْ».
21Peter went down to the men, and said, “Behold, I am he whom you seek. Why have you come?”
21فَنَزَلَ بُطْرُسُ إِلَى ٱلرِّجَالِ ٱلَّذِينَ أُرْسِلُوا إِلَيْهِ مِنْ قِبَلِ كَرْنِيلِيُوسَ، وَقَالَ: «هَا أَنَا ٱلَّذِي تَطْلُبُونَهُ. مَاهُوَ ٱلسَّبَبُ ٱلَّذِي حَضَرْتُمْ لِأَجْلِهِ؟».
22They said, “Cornelius, a centurion, a righteous man and one who fears God, and well spoken of by all the nation of the Jews, was directed by a holy angel to invite you to his house, and to listen to what you say.”
22فَقَالُوا: «إِنَّ كَرْنِيلِيُوسَ قَائِدَ مِئَةٍ، رَجُلًا بَارًّا وَخَائِفَ ٱللهِ وَمَشْهُودًا لَهُ مِنْ كُلِّ أُمَّةِ ٱلْيَهُودِ، أُوحِيَ إِلَيْهِ بِمَلَاكٍ مُقَدَّسٍ أَنْ يَسْتَدْعِيَكَ إِلَى بَيْتِهِ وَيَسْمَعَ مِنْكَ كَلَامًا».
23So he called them in and provided a place to stay. On the next day Peter arose and went out with them, and some of the brothers from Joppa accompanied him.
23فَدَعَاهُمْ إِلَى دَاخِلٍ وَأَضَافَهُمْ. ثُمَّ فِي ٱلْغَدِ خَرَجَ بُطْرُسُ مَعَهُمْ، وَأُنَاسٌ مِنَ ٱلْإِخْوَةِ ٱلَّذِينَ مِنْ يَافَا رَافَقُوهُ.
24On the next day they entered into Caesarea. Cornelius was waiting for them, having called together his relatives and his near friends.
24وَفِي ٱلْغَدِ دَخَلُوا قَيْصَرِيَّةَ. وَأَمَّا كَرْنِيلِيُوسُ فَكَانَ يَنْتَظِرُهُمْ، وَقَدْ دَعَا أَنْسِبَاءَهُ وَأَصْدِقَاءَهُ ٱلْأَقْرَبِينَ.
25When Peter entered, Cornelius met him, fell down at his feet, and worshiped him.
25وَلَمَّا دَخَلَ بُطْرُسُ ٱسْتَقْبَلَهُ كَرْنِيلِيُوسُ وَسَجَدَ وَاقِعًا عَلَى قَدَمَيْهِ.
26But Peter raised him up, saying, “Stand up! I myself am also a man.”
26فَأَقَامَهُ بُطْرُسُ قَائِلًا: «قُمْ، أَنَا أَيْضًا إِنْسَانٌ».
27As he talked with him, he went in and found many gathered together.
27ثُمَّ دَخَلَ وَهُوَ يَتَكَلَّمُ مَعَهُ وَوَجَدَ كَثِيرِينَ مُجْتَمِعِينَ.
28He said to them, “You yourselves know how it is an unlawful thing for a man who is a Jew to join himself or come to one of another nation, but God has shown me that I shouldn’t call any man unholy or unclean.
28فَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «أَنْتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ كَيْفَ هُوَ مُحَرَّمٌ عَلَى رَجُلٍ يَهُودِيٍّ أَنْ يَلْتَصِقَ بِأَحَدٍ أَجْنَبِيٍّ أَوْ يَأْتِيَ إِلَيْهِ. وَأَمَّا أَنَا فَقَدْ أَرَانِي ٱللهُ أَنْ لَا أَقُولَ عَنْ إِنْسَانٍ مَا إِنَّهُ دَنِسٌ أَوْ نَجِسٌ.
29Therefore I also came without complaint when I was sent for. I ask therefore, why did you send for me?”
29فَلِذَلِكَ جِئْتُ مِنْ دُونِ مُنَاقَضَةٍ إِذِ ٱسْتَدْعَيْتُمُونِي. فَأَسْتَخْبِرُكُمْ: لِأَيِّ سَبَبٍ ٱسْتَدْعَيْتُمُونِي؟».
30Cornelius said, “Four days ago, I was fasting until this hour; and at the ninth hour, I prayed in my house, and behold, a man stood before me in bright clothing
30فَقَالَ كَرْنِيلِيُوسُ: «مُنْذُ أَرْبَعَةِ أَيَّامٍ إِلَى هَذِهِ ٱلسَّاعَةِ كُنْتُ صَائِمًا. وَفِي ٱلسَّاعَةِ ٱلتَّاسِعَةِ كُنْتُ أُصَلِّي فِي بَيْتِي، وَإِذَا رَجُلٌ قَدْ وَقَفَ أَمَامِي بِلِبَاسٍ لَامِعٍ
31and said, ‘Cornelius, your prayer is heard, and your gifts to the needy are remembered in the sight of God.
31وَقَالَ: يَا كَرْنِيلِيُوسُ، سُمِعَتْ صَلَاتُكَ وَذُكِرَتْ صَدَقَاتُكَ أَمَامَ ٱللهِ.
32Send therefore to Joppa and summon Simon, who is also called Peter. He is staying in the house of a tanner named Simon, by the seaside. When he comes, he will speak to you.’
32فَأَرْسِلْ إِلَى يَافَا وَٱسْتَدْعِ سِمْعَانَ ٱلْمُلَقَّبَ بُطْرُسَ. إِنَّهُ نَازِلٌ فِي بَيْتِ سِمْعَانَ رَجُلٍ دَبَّاغٍ عِنْدَ ٱلْبَحْرِ. فَهُوَ مَتَى جَاءَ يُكَلِّمُكَ.
33Therefore I sent to you at once, and it was good of you to come. Now therefore we are all here present in the sight of God to hear all things that have been commanded you by God.”
33فَأَرْسَلْتُ إِلَيْكَ حَالًا. وَأَنْتَ فَعَلْتَ حَسَنًا إِذْ جِئْتَ. وَٱلْآنَ نَحْنُ جَمِيعًا حَاضِرُونَ أَمَامَ ٱللهِ لِنَسْمَعَ جَمِيعَ مَا أَمَرَكَ بِهِ ٱللهُ».
34Peter opened his mouth and said, “Truly I perceive that God doesn’t show favoritism;
34فَفَتَحَ بُطْرُسُ فَاهُ وَقَالَ: «بِٱلْحَقِّ أَنَا أَجِدُ أَنَّ ٱللهَ لَا يَقْبَلُ ٱلْوُجُوهَ.
35but in every nation he who fears him and works righteousness is acceptable to him.
35بَلْ فِي كُلِّ أُمَّةٍ، ٱلَّذِي يَتَّقِيهِ وَيَصْنَعُ ٱلْبِرَّ مَقْبُولٌ عِنْدَهُ.
36The word which he sent to the children of Israel, preaching good news of peace by Jesus Christ—he is Lord of all—
36ٱلْكَلِمَةُ ٱلَّتِي أَرْسَلَهَا إِلَى بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ يُبَشِّرُ بِٱلسَّلَامِ بِيَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ. هَذَا هُوَ رَبُّ ٱلْكُلِّ.
37you yourselves know what happened, which was proclaimed throughout all Judea, beginning from Galilee, after the baptism which John preached;
37أَنْتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ ٱلْأَمْرَ ٱلَّذِي صَارَ فِي كُلِّ ٱلْيَهُودِيَّةِ مُبْتَدِئًا مِنَ ٱلْجَلِيلِ، بَعْدَ ٱلْمَعْمُودِيَّةِ ٱلَّتِي كَرَزَ بِهَا يُوحَنَّا.
38how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, who went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with him.
38يَسُوعُ ٱلَّذِي مِنَ ٱلنَّاصِرَةِ كَيْفَ مَسَحَهُ ٱللهُ بِٱلرُّوحِ ٱلْقُدُسِ وَٱلْقُوَّةِ، ٱلَّذِي جَالَ يَصْنَعُ خَيْرًا وَيَشْفِي جَمِيعَ ٱلْمُتَسَلِّطِ عَلَيْهِمْ إِبْلِيسُ، لِأَنَّ ٱللهَ كَانَ مَعَهُ.
39We are witnesses of everything he did both in the country of the Jews and in Jerusalem; whom they also killed, hanging him on a tree.
39وَنَحْنُ شُهُودٌ بِكُلِّ مَا فَعَلَ فِي كُورَةِ ٱلْيَهُودِيَّةِ وَفِي أُورُشَلِيمَ. ٱلَّذِي أَيْضًا قَتَلُوهُ مُعَلِّقِينَ إِيَّاهُ عَلَى خَشَبَةٍ.
40God raised him up the third day and gave him to be revealed,
40هَذَا أَقَامَهُ ٱللهُ فِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلثَّالِثِ، وَأَعْطَى أَنْ يَصِيرَ ظَاهِرًا،
41not to all the people, but to witnesses who were chosen before by God, to us, who ate and drank with him after he rose from the dead.
41لَيْسَ لِجَمِيعِ ٱلشَّعْبِ، بَلْ لِشُهُودٍ سَبَقَ ٱللهُ فَٱنْتَخَبَهُمْ. لَنَا نَحْنُ ٱلَّذِينَ أَكَلْنَا وَشَرِبْنَا مَعَهُ بَعْدَ قِيَامَتِهِ مِنَ ٱلْأَمْوَاتِ.
42He commanded us to preach to the people and to testify that this is he who is appointed by God as the Judge of the living and the dead.
42وَأَوْصَانَا أَنْ نَكْرِزَ لِلشَّعْبِ، وَنَشْهَدَ بِأَنَّ هَذَا هُوَ ٱلْمُعَيَّنُ مِنَ ٱللهِ دَيَّانًا لِلْأَحْيَاءِ وَٱلْأَمْوَاتِ.
43All the prophets testify about him, that through his name everyone who believes in him will receive remission of sins.”
43لَهُ يَشْهَدُ جَمِيعُ ٱلْأَنْبِيَاءِ أَنَّ كُلَّ مَنْ يُؤْمِنُ بِهِ يَنَالُ بِٱسْمِهِ غُفْرَانَ ٱلْخَطَايَا».
44While Peter was still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit fell on all those who heard the word.
44فَبَيْنَمَا بُطْرُسُ يَتَكَلَّمُ بِهَذِهِ ٱلْأُمُورِ حَلَّ ٱلرُّوحُ ٱلْقُدُسُ عَلَى جَمِيعِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَانُوا يَسْمَعُونَ ٱلْكَلِمَةَ.
45They of the circumcision who believed were amazed, as many as came with Peter, because the gift of the Holy Spirit was also poured out on the Gentiles.
45فَٱنْدَهَشَ ٱلْمُؤْمِنُونَ ٱلَّذِينَ مِنْ أَهْلِ ٱلْخِتَانِ، كُلُّ مَنْ جَاءَ مَعَ بُطْرُسَ، لِأَنَّ مَوْهِبَةَ ٱلرُّوحِ ٱلْقُدُسِ قَدِ ٱنْسَكَبَتْ عَلَى ٱلْأُمَمِ أَيْضًا.
46For they heard them speaking in other languages and magnifying God. Then Peter answered,
46لِأَنَّهُمْ كَانُوا يَسْمَعُونَهُمْ يَتَكَلَّمُونَ بِأَلْسِنَةٍ وَيُعَظِّمُونَ ٱللهَ. حِينَئِذٍ أَجَابَ بُطْرُسُ:
47“Can anyone forbid these people from being baptized with water? They have received the Holy Spirit just like us.”
47«أَتُرَى يَسْتَطِيعُ أَحَدٌ أَنْ يَمْنَعَ ٱلْمَاءَ حَتَّى لَا يَعْتَمِدَ هَؤُلَاءِ ٱلَّذِينَ قَبِلُوا ٱلرُّوحَ ٱلْقُدُسَ كَمَا نَحْنُ أَيْضًا؟».
48He commanded them to be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. Then they asked him to stay some days.
48وَأَمَرَ أَنْ يَعْتَمِدُوا بِٱسْمِ ٱلرَّبِّ. حِينَئِذٍ سَأَلُوهُ أَنْ يَمْكُثَ أَيَّامًا.
