ﺍﻋﻤﺎﻝ ﺍﻟﺮﺳﻞ 8
Ketab El Hayat
8 وَكَانَ شَاوُلُ مُوَافِقاً عَلَى قَتْلِ اسْتِفَانُوسَ. وَفِي ذلِكَ الْيَوْمِ وَقَعَ اضْطِهَادٌ شَدِيدٌ عَلَى الْكَنِيسَةِ الَّتِي فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ. فَتَشَتَّتَ الإِخْوَةُ جَمِيعاً فِي نَوَاحِي الْيَهُودِيَّةِ وَالسَّامِرَةِ، وَلَمْ يَبْقَ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ إِلّا الرُّسُلُ.
اضطهاد الكنيسة وتشتتها
2 وَأَمَّا اسْتِفَانُوسُ فَقَدْ دَفَنَهُ بَعْضُ الرِّجَالِ الأَتْقِيَاءِ، وَنَاحُوا عَلَيْهِ كَثِيراً.
3 أَمَّا شَاوُلُ فَكَانَ يُحَاوِلُ إِبَادَةَ الْكَنِيسَةِ، فَيَذْهَبُ مِنْ بَيْتٍ إِلَى بَيْتٍ وَيَجُرُّ الرِّجَالَ وَالنِّسَاءَ وَيُلْقِيهِمْ فِي السِّجْنِ.
فيلبس في السامرة
4 وَالَّذِينَ تَشَتَّتُوا كَانُوا يَنْتَقِلُونَ مِنْ مَكَانٍ إِلَى مَكَانٍ مُبَشِّرِينَ بِالْكَلِمَةِ. 5 فَذَهَبَ فِيلِبُّسُ إِلَى مَدِينَةٍ فِي مِنْطَقَةِ السَّامِرَةِ، وَأَخَذَ يُبَشِّرُ أَهْلَهَا بِالْمَسِيحِ. 6 فَأَصْغَتِ الْجُمُوعُ إِلَى كَلامِهِ بِقَلْبٍ وَاحِدٍ، إِذْ سَمِعُوا بِالْعَلامَاتِ الَّتِي أَجْرَاهَا، أَوْ رَأَوْهَا بِأَنْفُسِهِمْ، 7 فَقَدْ كَانَ يَأْمُرُ الأَرْوَاحَ النَّجِسَةَ، فَتَصْرُخُ بِصَوْتٍ عَالٍ وَتَخْرُجُ مِنَ الْمَسْكُونِينَ بِها، كَمَا شَفَى كَثِيرِينَ مِنَ الْمَشْلُولِينَ وَالْعُرْجِ، 8 فَعَمَّتِ الْفَرْحَةُ أَنْحَاءَ الْمَدِينَةِ.
سيمون الساحر
9 وَكَانَ قَبْلَ ذَلِكَ فِي تِلْكَ الْمَدِينَةِ سَاحِرٌ اسْمُهُ سِيمُونُ، يُمَارِسُ السِّحْرَ فَيُذْهِلُ أَهْلَ السَّامِرَةِ وَيَدَّعِي أَنَّهُ رَجُلٌ عَظِيمٌ. 10 فَأَصْغَى إِلَيْهِ الْجَمِيعُ مِنَ الصَّغِيرِ إِلَى الْكَبِيرِ، قَائِلِينَ: «هَذَا الرَّجُلُ هُوَ قُدْرَةُ اللهِ الْعُظْمَى!» 11 وَإِنَّمَا أَصْغَوْا إِلَيْهِ لأَنَّهُمْ كَانُوا قَدِ انْخَدَعُوا مُدَّةً طَوِيلَةً بِحِيَلِهِ السِّحْرِيَّةِ! 12 فَلَمَّا آمَنُوا بِكَلامِ فِيلِبُّسَ الَّذِي بَشَّرَهُمْ بِمَلَكُوتِ اللهِ وَبِاسْمِ يَسُوعَ، تَعَمَّدُوا رِجَالاً وَنِسَاءً. 13 وَسِيمُونُ نَفْسُهُ آمَنَ وَتَعَمَّدَ، فَأَلْصَقَ نَفْسَهُ بِفِيلِبُّسَ، وَإِذْ شَاهَدَ الآيَاتِ وَالْمُعْجِزَاتِ الَّتِي أُجْرِيَتْ عَلَى يَدِهِ، اسْتَوْلَتْ عَلَيْهِ الدَّهْشَةُ.
14 وَسَمِعَ الرُّسُلُ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ أَنَّ أَهْلَ السَّامِرَةِ قَبِلُوا كَلِمَةَ اللهِ، فَأَرْسَلُوا إِلَيْهِمْ بُطْرُسَ وَيُوحَنَّا. 15 فَصَلَّيَا لأَجْلِهِمْ لِكَيْ يَنَالُوا الرُّوحَ الْقُدُسَ، 16 لأَنَّهُ لَمْ يَكُنْ قَدْ حَلَّ بَعْدُ عَلَى أَحَدٍ مِنْهُمْ، إِلّا أَنَّهُمْ كَانُوا قَدْ تَعَمَّدُوا بِاسْمِ الرَّبِّ يَسُوعَ. 17 ثُمَّ وَضَعَا أَيْدِيَهُمَا عَلَيْهِمْ، فَنَالُوا الرُّوحَ الْقُدُسَ.
18 وَلَمَّا رَأَى سِيمُونُ أَنَّ الرُّوحَ الْقُدُسَ قَدْ حَلَّ عَلَى الْمُؤْمِنِينَ لَمَّا وَضَعَ الرَّسُولانِ أَيْدِيَهُمَا عَلَيْهِمْ، عَرَضَ عَلَى بُطْرُسَ وَيُوحَنَّا بَعْضَ الْمَالِ، وَقَالَ لَهُمَا: 19 «أَعْطِيَانِي أَنَا أَيْضاً هذِهِ السُّلْطَةَ لِكَيْ يَنَالَ الرُّوحَ الْقُدُسَ مَنْ أَضَعُ عَلَيْهِ يَدِي». 20 فَقَالَ لَهُ بُطْرُسُ: «لِتَبْقَ لَكَ فِضَّتُكَ لِهَلاكِكَ! لأَنَّكَ ظَنَنْتَ أَنَّكَ تَقْدِرُ أَنْ تَشْتَرِيَ هِبَةَ اللهِ بِالْمَالِ! 21 لَا قِسْمَةَ لَكَ فِي هَذَا الأَمْرِ وَلا نَصِيبَ، لأَنَّ قَلْبَكَ لَيْسَ مُخْلِصاً تُجَاهَ اللهِ. 22 فَتُبْ عَنْ شَرِّكَ هَذَا وَاطْلُبْ إِلَى اللهِ، عَسَى أَنْ يَغْفِرَ لَكَ نِيَّةَ قَلْبِكَ، 23 لأَنِّي أَرَاكَ تَتَخَبَّطُ فِي مَرَارَةِ الْعَلْقَمِ وَقُيُودِ الْخَطِيئَةِ!» 24 فَقَالَ سِيمُونُ: «صَلِّيَا أَنْتُمَا إِلَى الرَّبِّ مِنْ أَجْلِي حَتَّى لَا يَنْزِلَ بِي شَيْءٌ مِمَّا تُشِيرَانِ إِلَيْهِ». 25 وَبَعْدَمَا شَهِدَ بُطْرُسُ وَيُوحَنَّا بِكَلِمَةِ الرَّبِّ وَأَعْلَنَاهَا هُنَاكَ، رَجَعَا إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ وَقَدْ بَشَّرَا قُرىً كَثِيرَةً فِي مِنْطَقَةِ السَّامِرَةِ.
فيلبس والحبشي
26 ثُمَّ إِنَّ مَلاكاً مِنْ عِنْدِ الرَّبِّ كَلَّمَ فِيلِبُّسَ فَقَالَ لَهُ: «قُمِ اذْهَبْ نَحْوَ الْجَنُوبِ، مَاشِياً عَلَى الطَّرِيقِ البَرِّيَّةِ بَيْنَ أُورُشَلِيمَ وَغَزَّةَ». 27 فَقَامَ وَذَهَبَ. وَإذَا رَجُلٌ حَبَشِيٌّ، خَصِيٌّ، يَعْمَلُ وَزِيراً لِلشُّؤُونِ الْمَالِيَّةِ عِنْدَ كَنْدَاكَةَ مَلِكَةِ الْحَبَشَةِ، كَانَ قَدْ حَجَّ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ لِلسُّجُودِ فِيهَا، 28 وَهُوَ رَاجِعٌ إِلَى الْحَبَشَةِ رَاكِباً فِي عَرَبَتِهِ، يَقْرَأُ فِي كِتَابِ النَّبِيِّ إِشَعْيَاءَ. 29 فَقَالَ الرُّوحُ لِفِيلِبُّسَ: «تَقَدَّمْ وَرَافِقْ هذِهِ الْعَرَبَةَ!» 30 فَأَسْرَعَ فِيلِبُّسُ وَسَمِعَ الْخَصِيَّ يَقْرَأُ نُبُوءَةَ إِشَعْيَاءَ، فَسَأَلَهُ: «أَتَفْهَمُ مَا تَقْرَأُ؟» 31 فَأَجَابَ: «كَيْفَ يُمْكِنُنِي ذَلِكَ إِنْ لَمْ يَشْرَحْ لِي أَحَدٌ؟» وَدَعَا فِيلِبُّسَ أَنْ يَصْعَدَ إِلَى الْعَرَبَةِ وَيَجْلِسَ مَعَهُ. 32 وَكَانَ الْخَصِيُّ قَدْ وَصَلَ فِي فَصْلِ الْكِتَابِ الَّذِي يَقْرَأُهُ إِلَى الْقَوْلِ: «مِثْلَ شَاةٍ سِيقَ إِلَى الذَّبْحِ، وَمِثْلَ الْحَمَلِ الصَّامِتِ بَيْنَ يَدَيْ مَنْ يَجُزُّهُ، هكَذَا لَمْ يَفْتَحْ فَاهُ! 33 فِي أَثْنَاءِ تَوَاضُعِهِ عُومِلَ بِغَيْرِ عَدْلٍ. مَنْ يُخْبِرُ عَنْ نَسْلِهِ؟ فَإِنَّ حَيَاتَهُ قَدِ انْتُزِعَتْ مِنَ الأَرْضِ!»
34 وَسَأَلَ الْخَصِيُّ فِيلِبُّسَ: «قُلْ لِي: إِلَى مَنْ يُشِيرُ النَّبِيُّ بِهَذَا الْقَوْلِ؟ إِلَى نَفْسِهِ أَوْ إِلَى شَخْصٍ آخَرَ؟» 35 فَتَكَلَّمَ وَأَخَذَ يُبَشِّرُهُ بِيَسُوعَ انْطِلاقاً مِنْ كِتَابِ النَّبِيِّ هَذَا.
36 وَبَيْنَمَا كَانَتِ الْعَرَبَةُ تَسِيرُ بِهِمَا، وَصَلا إِلَى مَكَانٍ فِيهِ مَاءٌ، فَقَالَ الْخَصِيُّ: «هَا هُوَ الْمَاءُ، فَمَاذَا يَمْنَعُ أَنْ أَتَعَمَّدَ؟» 37 فَأَجَابَهُ فِيلِبُّسُ: «هَذَا جَائِزٌ إِنْ كُنْتَ تُؤْمِنُ مِنْ كُلِّ قَلْبِكَ». فَقَالَ الْخَصِيُّ: «إِنِّي أُومِنُ بِأَنَّ يَسُوعَ الْمَسِيحَ هُوَ ابْنُ اللهِ». 38 وَأَمَرَ أَنْ تَقِفَ الْعَرَبَةُ، فَنَزَلا إِلَى الْمَاءِ مَعاً، وَعَمَّدَ فِيلِبُّسُ الْخَصِيَّ. 39 وَمَا إِنْ طَلَعَا مِنَ الْمَاءِ حَتَّى خَطِفَ رُوحُ الرَّبِّ فِيلِبُّسَ، فَلَمْ يَعُدِ الْخَصِيُّ يَرَاهُ. فَتَابَعَ سَفَرَهُ بِفَرَحٍ. 40 أَمَّا فِيلِبُّسُ فَقَدْ شُوهِدَ فِي أَشْدُودَ، ثُمَّ سَارَ يُبَشِّرُ كُلَّ مَدِينَةٍ حَتَّى وَصَلَ إِلَى قَيْصَرِيَّةَ.
使徒行傳 8
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
教會受迫害
8 當時，掃羅也贊成殺死司提凡。從那天起，耶路撒冷的教會開始遭到極大的迫害。除了使徒之外，門徒都分散到猶太和撒瑪利亞各地。 2 有些虔誠人將司提凡埋葬了，為他大聲痛哭。
3 掃羅卻在摧毀教會，他挨家挨戶搜尋，把男女信徒抓進監裡。
腓利傳揚福音
4 但那些逃往各地的信徒逃到哪裡，就將福音傳到哪裡。 5 腓利來到撒瑪利亞城宣講基督。 6 城裡的人耳聞目睹他所行的神蹟，都聚精會神地聽他講道。 7 當時有許多人被污鬼附身，那些污鬼大聲喊叫著被趕了出來。還有不少癱子和瘸子也被醫好了。 8 城裡洋溢著歡樂的氣氛。
術士歸主
9 有個名叫西門的術士，向來妄自尊大，曾用邪術使撒瑪利亞人驚奇不已。 10 無論貴賤，眾人都聽從他，稱他為「上帝的大能者」。 11 他們聽從他，因為他長期用邪術迷惑他們。 12 後來，他們相信了腓利所傳關於上帝的國度和耶穌基督的福音，男男女女都接受了洗禮。 13 西門本人也信了基督，接受了洗禮，並常常追隨腓利左右。腓利所行的神蹟奇事令他非常驚奇。
14 耶路撒冷的使徒聽說撒瑪利亞人接受了上帝的道，就派彼得和約翰去那裡。 15 二人到了，為那些信徒禱告，好讓他們領受聖靈， 16 因為他們只是奉耶穌的名受了洗，聖靈還沒有降在他們身上。 17 使徒把手按在他們身上，他們就領受了聖靈。
18 西門看見使徒把手一按在人身上，就有聖靈賜下來，便拿錢給使徒， 19 說：「請把這能力也給我吧，以便我把手按在誰身上，就使誰領受聖靈。」
20 彼得責備他說：「你和你的錢都一同毀滅吧！因為你以為可以用錢買上帝的恩賜！ 21 你在上帝面前心術不正，休想在我們的事工上有份。 22 你要悔改，離棄邪惡，向主禱告，或許主會赦免你心中的邪念。 23 我看得出你正因為嫉妒而心裡充滿了苦澀，被罪惡捆綁。」
24 西門說：「請為我求求主，免得我遭受你們所說的刑罰。」
25 彼得和約翰為主做見證，傳講主的道。之後，他們啟程回耶路撒冷，沿途又在撒瑪利亞各村莊傳揚福音。
太監歸主
26 有一天，主的天使對腓利說：「起來，向南走，往耶路撒冷通往迦薩的路去。」那條路很荒涼。 27 腓利立刻動身，結果在那條路上遇見一個衣索匹亞的太監。他是衣索匹亞女王甘大基手下的重臣，負責管理國庫。他剛從耶路撒冷參加敬拜回來， 28 正坐在車上誦讀以賽亞先知的書。 29 聖靈吩咐腓利：「趕上去，貼近那輛馬車！」
30 腓利跑上前，聽見太監在誦讀以賽亞先知的書，就問：「你明白所讀的經文嗎？」
31 他說：「沒有人為我解釋，我怎能明白呢？」他就請腓利上車和他一起坐。 32 他剛才念的那段經文是：
「祂默然不語，
像被人牽去宰殺的羔羊，
又如在剪毛人手下一聲不吭的綿羊。
33 祂忍受恥辱，
無人為祂主持公道，
誰能明白那個世代呢？
因為祂的生命竟然被奪去。」
34 太監問腓利：「請問先知是在說誰？在說他自己還是在說別人？」 35 腓利就從這段經文入手向他傳耶穌的福音。 36 他們往前走的時候，經過一處有水的地方，太監說：「你看，這裡有水，我可以在這裡接受洗禮嗎？」 37 腓利說：「只要你全心相信，當然可以。」太監說：「我相信耶穌基督是上帝的兒子！」
38 於是，太監吩咐停車，二人一同下到水裡，腓利為他施洗。 39 他們從水裡上來時，主的靈把腓利帶走了。太監看不見腓利了，就繼續前行，滿心歡喜。 40 後來，腓利出現在亞鎖都。他走遍那裡，在各城各鄉傳揚福音，直到凱撒利亞。
Acts 8
American Standard Version
8 1 And Saul was consenting unto his death.
And there arose on that day a great persecution against the church which was in Jerusalem; and they were all scattered abroad throughout the regions of Judaea and Samaria, except the apostles. 2 And devout men buried Stephen, and made great lamentation over him. 3 But Saul laid waste the church, entering into every house, and dragging men and women committed them to prison.
4 They therefore that were scattered abroad went about [a]preaching the word. 5 And Philip went down to the city of Samaria, and proclaimed unto them the Christ. 6 And the multitudes gave heed with one accord unto the things that were spoken by Philip, when they heard, and saw the signs which he did. 7 [b]For from many of those that had unclean spirits, they came out, crying with a loud voice: and many that were palsied, and that were lame, were healed. 8 And there was much joy in that city.
9 But there was a certain man, Simon by name, who beforetime in the city used sorcery, and amazed the [c]people of Samaria, giving out that himself was some great one: 10 to whom they all gave heed, from the least to the greatest, saying, This man is that power of God which is called Great. 11 And they gave heed to him, because that of long time he had amazed them with his sorceries. 12 But when they believed Philip preaching good tidings concerning the kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women. 13 And Simon also himself believed: and being baptized, he continued with Philip; and beholding signs and great [d]miracles wrought, he was amazed.
14 Now when the apostles that were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent unto them Peter and John: 15 who, when they were come down, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Spirit: 16 for as yet it was fallen upon none of them: only they had been baptized into the name of the Lord Jesus. 17 Then laid they their hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit. 18 Now when Simon saw that through the laying on of the apostles’ hands the [e]Holy Spirit was given, he offered them money, 19 saying, Give me also this power, that on whomsoever I lay my hands, he may receive the Holy Spirit. 20 But Peter said unto him, Thy silver perish with thee, because thou hast thought to obtain the gift of God with money. 21 Thou hast neither part nor lot in this [f]matter: for thy heart is not right before God. 22 Repent therefore of this thy wickedness, and pray the Lord, if perhaps the thought of thy heart shall be forgiven thee. 23 For I see that thou [g]art in the gall of bitterness and in the bond of iniquity. 24 And Simon answered and said, Pray ye for me to the Lord, that none of the things which ye have spoken come upon me.
25 They therefore, when they had testified and spoken the word of the Lord, returned to Jerusalem, and [h]preached the gospel to many villages of the Samaritans.
26 But an angel of the Lord spake unto Philip, saying, Arise, and go [i]toward the south unto the way that goeth down from Jerusalem unto Gaza: the same is desert. 27 And he arose and went: and behold, a man of Ethiopia, a eunuch of great authority under Candace, queen of the Ethiopians, who was over all her treasure, who had come to Jerusalem to worship; 28 and he was returning and sitting in his chariot, and was reading the prophet Isaiah. 29 And the Spirit said unto Philip, Go near, and join thyself to this chariot. 30 And Philip ran to him, and heard him reading Isaiah the prophet, and said, Understandest thou what thou readest? 31 And he said, How can I, except some one shall guide me? And he besought Philip to come up and sit with him. 32 Now the passage of the scripture which he was reading was this,
[j]He was led as a sheep to the slaughter;
And as a lamb before his shearer is dumb,
So he openeth not his mouth:
33 In his humiliation his judgment was taken away:
His generation who shall declare?
For his life is taken from the earth.
34 And the eunuch answered Philip, and said, I pray thee, of whom speaketh the prophet this? of himself, or of some other? 35 And Philip opened his mouth, and beginning from this scripture, [k]preached unto him Jesus. 36 And as they went on the way, they came unto a certain water; and the eunuch saith, Behold, here is water; what doth hinder me to be baptized?[l] 38 And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they both went down into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he baptized him. 39 And when they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip; and the eunuch saw him no more, for he went on his way rejoicing. 40 But Philip was found at Azotus: and passing through he [m]preached the gospel to all the cities, till he came to Caesarea.
