In Malta
1 When we arrived, we learned that the name of the island was Malta. 2 Its inhabitants treated us with extraordinary kindness. They welcomed us and built a fire for us because the weather was rainy and cold. 3 Paul gathered some firewood and threw it into the fire. A snake came out, driven out by the heat, and hung onto his hand. 4 When the inhabitants of the island saw the snake hanging from his hand, they said to each other, “This man must be a murderer! For even though he survived the sea, justice will not allow him to live.” 5 But Paul shook off the snake into the fire and suffered no harm. 6 The people were expecting that he would swell up or suddenly drop dead. But when they had waited a long time and saw that nothing happened to him, they changed their minds and said he was a god.

1 وَلَمَّا وَصَلْنَا، عَرَفْنَا أَنَّ اسْمَ الْجَزِيرَةِ هُوَ مَالْطَةُ. 2 وَعَامَلَنَا أَهْلُهَا بِلُطْفٍ غَيْرِ عَادِيٍّ، فَرَحَّبُوا بِنَا وَأَوْقَدُوا لَنَا نَارًا لِأَنَّ الطَّقْسَ كَانَ مُمْطِرًا وَبَارِدًا. 3 وَجَمَعَ بُولُسُ بَعْضَ الْحَطَبِ وَرَمَاهُ فِي النَّارِ، فَخَرَجَتْ حَيَّةٌ دَفَعَتْهَا الْحَرَارَةُ، وَتَعَلَّقَتْ بِيَدِهِ. 4 فَلَمَّا رَأَى أَهْلُ الْجَزِيرَةِ الْحَيَّةَ مُعَلَّقَةً بِيَدِهِ، قَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ لِبَعْضٍ: ”لَا بُدَّ أَنَّ هَذَا الرَّجُلَ قَاتِلٌ، فَمَعَ أَنَّهُ نَجَا مِنَ الْبَحْرِ، لَا يَسْمَحُ لَهُ الْعَدْلُ بِأَنْ يَعِيشَ.“ 5 لَكِنَّ بُولُسَ نَفَضَ الْحَيَّةَ فِي النَّارِ وَلَمْ يَمَسَّهُ أَذًى. 6 وَكَانَ النَّاسُ يَتَوَقَّعُونَ أَنْ يَتَوَرَّمَ أَوْ يَسْقُطَ مَيِّتًا فَجْأَةً، لَكِنَّهُمْ بَعْدَمَا انْتَظَرُوا طَوِيلًا وَرَأَوْا أَنَّهُ لَمْ يَحْدُثْ لَهُ شَيْءٌ، غَيَّرُوا رَأْيَهُمْ وَقَالُوا إِنَّهُ إِلَهٌ.
7 Near that place there were fields owned by Publius, the ruler of the island. He welcomed us into his home and showed us generous hospitality for three days. 8 His father was ill in bed, suffering from fever and bloody diarrhea. Paul visited him and prayed to God for him; he placed his hands on him and healed him. 9 When this happened, all the sick people on the island came to him and received healing. 10 They honored us greatly, and at our departure they gave us what we needed.
7 وَكَانَتْ بِالْقُرْبِ مِنَ الْمَكَانِ حُقُولٌ يَمْلِكُهَا بُوبِلْيُوسُ حَاكِمُ الْجَزِيرَةِ. فَاسْتَقْبَلَنَا فِي دَارِهِ، وَأَكْرَمَ ضِيَافَتَنَا 3 أَيَّامٍ. 8 وَكَانَ أَبُوهُ مَرِيضًا فِي الْفِرَاشِ، يُعَانِي مِنَ الْحُمَّى وَالْإِسْهَالِ الدَّمَوِيِّ، فَزَارَهُ بُولُسُ وَدَعَا اللهَ مِنْ أَجْلِهِ وَوَضَعَ يَدَيْهِ عَلَيْهِ وَشَفَاهُ. 9 فَلَمَّا حَدَثَ هَذَا، جَاءَ إِلَيْهِ كُلُّ الْمَرْضَى فِي الْجَزِيرَةِ وَنَالُوا الشِّفَاءَ. 10 فَأَكْرَمُونَا كَثِيرًا، وَعِنْدَ رَحِيلِنَا أَعْطَوْنَا مَا نَحْتَاجُ إِلَيْهِ.
From Malta to Rome
11 After three months,* we sailed on a ship from Alexandria that had the “Twin Gods” as its figurehead. It had spent the winter in Malta. 12 We reached the city of Syracuse and spent three days there. 13 Then we sailed from there until we reached the city of Rhegium. The following day a south wind arose, and so we arrived on the third day at Puteoli.* 14 There we found some brothers, and they asked us to spend a week with them. In this way we went to Rome. 15 The brothers there heard of our arrival, so they came to meet us at the Market of Appius and in the area of The Three Taverns. When Paul saw them, he thanked God and was encouraged. 16 When we arrived in Rome, the officer permitted Paul to live in a private dwelling with the soldier who was guarding him.

11 وَبَعْدَ 3 أَشْهُرٍ* أَبْحَرْنَا فِي سَفِينَةٍ مِنَ الْإِسْكَنْدَرِيَّةِ عَلَيْهَا رَسْمُ الْإِلَهَيْنِ التَّوْأَمَيْنِ وَكَانَتْ قَدْ قَضَتْ فَصْلَ الشِّتَاءِ فِي مَالْطَةَ. 12 وَوَصَلْنَا إِلَى مَدِينَةِ سِيرَاكِيُوسَ وَقَضَيْنَا فِيهَا 3 أَيَّامٍ. 13 ثُمَّ أَبْحَرْنَا مِنْ هُنَاكَ حَتَّى وَصَلْنَا إِلَى مَدِينَةِ رِيغِيُونَ. وَفِي الْيَوْمِ التَّالِي هَبَّتْ رِيحٌ جَنُوبِيَّةٌ، ثُمَّ وَصَلْنَا فِي الْيَوْمِ الثَّالِثِ إِلَى بُوطِيُولِي.* 14 وَوَجَدْنَا هُنَاكَ بَعْضَ الْإِخْوَةِ، فَطَلَبُوا مِنَّا أَنْ نَقْضِيَ مَعَهُمْ أُسْبُوعًا. وَبِهَذَا ذَهَبْنَا إِلَى رُومَا. 15 وَسَمِعَ الْإِخْوَةُ هُنَاكَ بِوُصُولِنَا، فَجَاءُوا لِاسْتِقْبَالِنَا فِي سُوقِ أَبْيُوسَ وَفِي مَنْطِقَةِ الْحَوَانِيتِ الثَّلَاثَةِ. فَلَمَّا رَآهُمْ بُولُسُ، شَكَرَ اللهَ وَتَشَجَّعَ. 16 وَلَمَّا وَصَلْنَا إِلَى رُومَا، سَمَحَ الضَّابِطُ لِبُولُسَ أَنْ يُقِيمَ فِي مَنْزِلٍ خَاصٍّ مَعَ الْجُنْدِيِّ الَّذِي يَحْرُسُهُ.
In Rome
17 Three days later, Paul summoned the Jewish leaders together. When they had gathered, he said to them, “My brothers, I did nothing against our people or against the customs of our forefathers; nevertheless, they arrested me in Jerusalem and handed me over to the Romans. 18 They investigated my case and wanted to release me since I was not guilty of any crime worthy of death. 19 But the leaders of the Jews protested, so I was forced to appeal my case to Caesar. But that does not mean that I'm pressing charges against my nation. 20 For this reason, I asked to see you and speak with you. I am bound with this chain because of the hope of the Children of Israel.”

17 وَبَعْدَ 3 أَيَّامٍ، اِسْتَدْعَى بُولُسُ قَادَةَ الْيَهُودِ مَعًا. فَلَمَّا اجْتَمَعُوا قَالَ لَهُمْ: ”يَا إِخْوَتِي، أَنَا لَمْ أَفْعَلْ شَيْئًا ضِدَّ شَعْبِنَا أَوْ ضِدَّ عَادَاتِ آبَائِنَا، وَمَعَ ذَلِكَ قَبَضُوا عَلَيَّ فِي الْقُدْسِ وَسَلَّمُونِي إِلَى الرُّومَانِيِّينَ. 18 فَحَقَّقُوا فِي مَوْضُوعِي وَأَرَادُوا أَنْ يُطْلِقُوا سَرَاحِي، لِأَنِّي غَيْرُ مُذْنِبٍ بِأَيِّ جَرِيمَةٍ تَسْتَحِقُّ الْمَوْتَ. 19 لَكِنَّ قَادَةَ الْيَهُودِ عَارَضُوا، فَاضْطُرِرْتُ أَنْ أَرْفَعَ قَضِيَّتِي إِلَى قَيْصَرَ. لَكِنَّ هَذَا لَا يَعْنِي أَنِّي أَشْكُو أُمَّتِي. 20 فَلِهَذَا السَّبَبِ طَلَبْتُ أَنْ أَرَاكُمْ وَأُكَلِّمَكُمْ. أَنَا مُقَيَّدٌ بِهَذِهِ السِّلْسِلَةِ بِسَبَبِ رَجَاءِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ.“
21 They replied, “We have not received any messages from the region of Judea concerning you, and the brothers who came from there did not tell us anything bad about you. 22 But we want to hear your views, because people everywhere are saying things against this sect.”
21 فَأَجَابُوهُ: ”نَحْنُ لَمْ تَصِلْنَا أَيَّةُ رَسَائِلَ مِنْ مَنْطِقَةِ يَهُوذَا بِشَأْنِكَ، وَالْإِخْوَةُ الَّذِينَ جَاءُوا مِنْ هُنَاكَ لَمْ يُخْبِرُونَا بِشَيْءٍ رَدِيءٍ عَنْكَ. 22 لَكِنَّنَا نُرِيدُ أَنْ نَسْمَعَ آرَاءَكَ، لِأَنَّ النَّاسَ فِي كُلِّ مَكَانٍ يَقُولُونَ أَشْيَاءَ ضِدَّ هَذَا الْمَذْهَبِ.“
23 So they agreed to meet Paul on a specific day. They came to his residence with many others. He talked with them from morning until evening and explained to them the facts of the Kingdom of God. He sought to convince them about the mission of Jesus, using the Torah of Moses and the Writings of the Prophets. 24 Some were convinced by what he said, but some others refused to believe. 25 So they disagreed among themselves. They began leaving after Paul had said to them: “The Holy Spirit spoke the truth when he said to your forefathers through the prophet Isaiah, 26 ‘Go to this people and say: “However much you hear, you don't understand. However much you look, you don't see. 27 For the heart of this people has hardened, their ears have become hard of hearing, and they have closed their eyes; otherwise, they could see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their hearts, and return to me, and I would heal them.”’* 28 Therefore, I want you to know that God has sent his salvation to the Gentiles, and they will listen.” 29 After he said this, the Jews left his place, [engaged] in sharp arguments.
23 وَاتَّفَقُوا أَنْ يُقَابِلُوا بُولُسَ فِي يَوْمٍ مُحَدَّدٍ، وَجَاءُوا إِلَى مَنْزِلِهِ وَمَعَهُمْ آخَرُونَ كَثِيرُونَ. فَحَدَّثَهُمْ مِنَ الصَّبَاحِ إِلَى الْمَسَاءِ وَشَرَحَ لَهُمْ حَقَائِقَ مَمْلَكَةِ اللهِ، وَحَاوَلَ أَنْ يُقْنِعَهُمْ بِرِسَالَةِ عِيسَى، مُسْتَخْدِمًا تَوْرَاةَ مُوسَى وَصُحُفَ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ. 24 فَاقْتَنَعَ بَعْضُهُمْ بِكَلَامِهِ، وَرَفَضَ الْبَعْضُ الْآخَرُ أَنْ يُؤْمِنَ. 25 فَاخْتَلَفُوا فِيمَا بَيْنَهُمْ وَأَخَذُوا يَنْصَرِفُونَ بَعْدَمَا قَالَ بُولُسُ لَهُمْ: ”صَدَقَ الرُّوحُ الْقُدُّوسُ لَمَّا قَالَ لِآبَائِكُمْ بِلِسَانِ النَّبِيِّ إِشَعْيَا: 26 ’اِذْهَبْ إِلَى هَذَا الشَّعْبِ وَقُلْ: ”مَهْمَا سَمِعْتُمْ لَا تَفْهَمُونَ، وَمَهْمَا نَظَرْتُمْ لَا تَرَوْنَ. 27 لِأَنَّ قَلْبَ هَذَا الشَّعْبِ تَقَسَّى، وَآذَانَهُمْ ثَقُلَتْ عَنِ السَّمْعِ، وَأَغْمَضُوا عُيُونَهُمْ، لِئَلَّا يَرَوْا بِعُيُونِهِمْ، وَيَسْمَعُوا بِآذَانِهِمْ، وَيَفْهَمُوا بِقُلُوبِهِمْ، فَيَرْجِعُوا إِلَيَّ فَأَشْفِيَهُمْ.“‘* 28 لِذَلِكَ أُرِيدُ أَنْ تَعْرِفُوا أَنَّ اللهَ أَرْسَلَ نَجَاتَهُ إِلَى غَيْرِ الْيَهُودِ، وَهُمْ سَيَسْمَعُونَ.“ 29 وَبَعْدَمَا قَالَ هَذَا، خَرَجَ الْيَهُودُ مِنْ عِنْدِهِ وَهُمْ فِي مُنَاقَشَاتٍ حَادَّةٍ.
30 Paul stayed two full years in the residence that he rented. He welcomed everyone who came to visit him. 31 With boldness and without hindrance, he kept proclaiming the good news of the founding of the Kingdom of God and teaching people about our Lord Jesus the Messiah.*
30 وَأَقَامَ بُولُسُ سَنَتَيْنِ كَامِلَتَيْنِ فِي مَنْزِلِهِ الَّذِي اسْتَأْجَرَهُ، وَكَانَ يُرَحِّبُ بِكُلِّ مَنْ يَأْتِي إِلَيْهِ لِيَزُورَهُ. 31 وَكَانَ بِجَرَاءَةٍ وَبِلَا مَانِعٍ، يُعْلِنُ بُشْرَى قِيَامِ مَمْلَكَةِ اللهِ وَيُعَلِّمُ النَّاسَ عَنْ مَوْلَانَا عِيسَى الْمَسِيحِ.*
*28:31 During these two years, God inspired the Apostle Paul to write letters to the followers of the Messiah in Ephesus, Colossae, and Philippi. Afterwards the government dismissed Paul's case and released him. The letters he wrote afterwards show that he left Rome and visited the followers of the Messiah in the provinces of Asia, Northern Greece, Southern Greece, and Crete. It is said that he also proclaimed the good news of the Gospel in Spain.
*28:31 خلال هاذين العامين، أوحى الله للرسول بولس أن يكتب رسائل إلى أتباع المسيح في أَفاسُس وكولوسي وفيلبي. وبعد ذلك رفضت الحكومة طلب بولس وأطلقت سراحه. فإنّ الرسائل التي كتبها بعد ذلك تُظهِر أنه غادر روما وزار أتباع المسيح في مقاطعات آسيا وشمال اليونان وجنوب اليونان وكريت. يقال إنَّه نادى ببشارة الإنجيل في إسبانيا أيضًا.
