1And it came to pass, that, while Apollos was at Corinth, Paul having passed through the upper coasts came to Ephesus: and finding certain disciples,2He said unto them, Have ye received the Holy Ghost since ye believed? And they said unto him, We have not so much as heard whether there be any Holy Ghost.3And he said unto them, Unto what then were ye baptized? And they said, Unto John's baptism.4Then said Paul, John verily baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying unto the people, that they should believe on him which should come after him, that is, on Christ Jesus.5When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.6And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Ghost came on them; and they spake with tongues, and prophesied.7And all the men were about twelve.8And he went into the synagogue, and spake boldly for the space of three months, disputing and persuading the things concerning the kingdom of God.9But when divers were hardened, and believed not, but spake evil of that way before the multitude, he departed from them, and separated the disciples, disputing daily in the school of one Tyrannus.10And this continued by the space of two years; so that all they which dwelt in Asia heard the word of the Lord Jesus, both Jews and Greeks.11And God wrought special miracles by the hands of Paul:12So that from his body were brought unto the sick handkerchiefs or aprons, and the diseases departed from them, and the evil spirits went out of them.13Then certain of the vagabond Jews, exorcists, took upon them to call over them which had evil spirits the name of the Lord Jesus, saying, We adjure you by Jesus whom Paul preacheth.14And there were seven sons of one Sceva, a Jew, and chief of the priests, which did so.15And the evil spirit answered and said, Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are ye?16And the man in whom the evil spirit was leaped on them, and overcame them, and prevailed against them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded.17And this was known to all the Jews and Greeks also dwelling at Ephesus; and fear fell on them all, and the name of the Lord Jesus was magnified.18And many that believed came, and confessed, and shewed their deeds.19Many of them also which used curious arts brought their books together, and burned them before all men: and they counted the price of them, and found it fifty thousand pieces of silver.20So mightily grew the word of God and prevailed.21After 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 also see Rome.22So he sent into Macedonia two of them that ministered unto him, Timotheus and Erastus; but he himself stayed in Asia for a season.23And the same time there arose no small stir about that way.24For a certain man named Demetrius, a silversmith, which made silver shrines for Diana, brought no small gain unto the craftsmen;25Whom he called together with the workmen of like occupation, and said, Sirs, ye know that by this craft we have our wealth.26Moreover ye see and hear, that not alone at Ephesus, but almost throughout all Asia, this Paul hath persuaded and turned away much people, saying that they be no gods, which are made with hands:27So that not only this our craft is in danger to be set at nought; but also that the temple of the great goddess Diana should be despised, and her magnificence should be destroyed, whom all Asia and the world worshippeth.28And when they heard these sayings, they were full of wrath, and cried out, saying, Great is Diana of the Ephesians.29And the whole city was filled with confusion: and having caught Gaius and Aristarchus, men of Macedonia, Paul's companions in travel, they rushed with one accord into the theatre.30And when Paul would have entered in unto the people, the disciples suffered him not.31And certain of the chief of Asia, which were his friends, sent unto him, desiring him that he would not adventure himself into the theatre.32Some therefore cried one thing, and some another: for the assembly was confused; and the more part knew not wherefore they were come together.33And they drew Alexander out of the multitude, the Jews putting him forward. And Alexander beckoned with the hand, and would have made his defence unto the people.34But when they knew that he was a Jew, all with one voice about the space of two hours cried out, Great is Diana of the Ephesians.35And when the townclerk had appeased the people, he said, Ye men of Ephesus, what man is there that knoweth not how that the city of the Ephesians is a worshipper of the great goddess Diana, and of the image which fell down from Jupiter?36Seeing then that these things cannot be spoken against, ye ought to be quiet, and to do nothing rashly.37For ye have brought hither these men, which are neither robbers of churches, nor yet blasphemers of your goddess.38Wherefore if Demetrius, and the craftsmen which are with him, have a matter against any man, the law is open, and there are deputies: let them implead one another.39But if ye enquire any thing concerning other matters, it shall be determined in a lawful assembly.40For we are in danger to be called in question for this day's uproar, there being no cause whereby we may give an account of this concourse.41And when he had thus spoken, he dismissed the assembly.

الرّسول بولس في أفسس

1فَحَدَثَ فِيمَا كَانَ أَبُلُّوسُ فِي كُورِنْثُوسَ أَنَّ بُولُسَ بَعْدَ مَا اجْتَازَ فِي النَّوَاحِي الْعَالِيَةِ جَاءَ إِلَى أَفَسُسَ، فَإِذْ وَجَدَ تَلاَمِيذَ2قَالَ لَهُمْ: هَلْ قَبِلْتُمُ الرُّوحَ الْقُدُسَ لَمَّا آمَنْتُمْ؟ قَالُوا لَهُ: وَلاَ سَمِعْنَا أَنَّهُ يُوجَدُ الرُّوحُ الْقُدُسُ.3فَقَالَ لَهُمْ: فَبِمَاذَا اعْتَمَدْتُمْ؟ فَقَالُوا: بِمَعْمُودِيَّةِ يُوحَنَّا.4فَقَالَ بُولُسُ: إِنَّ يُوحَنَّا عَمَّدَ بِمَعْمُودِيَّةِ التَّوْبَةِ قَائِلاً لِلشَّعْبِ: أَنْ يُؤْمِنُوا بِالَّذِي يَأْتِي بَعْدَهُ، أَيْ بِالمَسِيحِ يَسُوعَ.5فَلَمَّا سَمِعُوا اعْتَمَدُوا بِاسْمِ الرَّبِّ يَسُوعَ.6وَلَمَّا وَضَعَ بُولُسُ يَدَيْهِ عَلَيْهِمْ حَلَّ الرُّوحُ الْقُدُسُ عَلَيْهِمْ فَطَفِقُوا يَتَكَلَّمُونَ بِلُغَاتٍ وَيَتَنَبَّأُونَ.7وَكَانَ جَمِيعُ الرِّجَالِ نَحْوَ اثْنَيْ عَشَرَ.

8ثُمَّ دَخَلَ المَجْمَعَ وَكَانَ يُجَاهِرُ مُدَّةَ ثَلاَثَةِ أَشْهُرٍ مُحَاجّاً وَمُقْنِعاً فِي مَا يَخْتَصُّ بِمَلَكُوتِ اللهِ.9وَلَمَّا كَانَ قَوْمٌ يَتَقَسَّوْنَ وَلاَ يَقْنَعُونَ، شَاتِمِينَ الطَّرِيقَ أَمَامَ الْجُمْهُورِ، اعْتَزَلَ عَنْهُمْ وَأَفْرَزَ التَّلاَمِيذَ مُحَاجّاً كُلَّ يَوْمٍ فِي مَدْرَسَةِ إِنْسَانٍ اسْمُهُ تِيرَانُّسُ.10وَكَانَ ذَلِكَ مُدَّةَ سَنَتَيْنِ حَتَّى سَمِعَ كَلِمَةَ الرَّبِّ يَسُوعَ جَمِيعُ السَّاكِنِينَ فِي أَسِيَّا، مِنْ يَهُودٍ وَيُونَانِيِّينَ.11وَكَانَ اللهُ يَصْنَعُ عَلَى يَدَيْ بُولُسَ قُوَّاتٍ غَيْرَ المُعْتَادَةِ،12حَتَّى كَانَ يُؤْتَى عَنْ جَسَدِهِ بِمَنَادِيلَ أَوْ مَآزِرَ إِلَى المَرْضَى فَتَزُولُ عَنْهُمُ الأَمْرَاضُ وَتَخْرُجُ الأَرْوَاحُ الشِّرِّيرَةُ مِنْهُمْ.

13فَشَرَعَ قَوْمٌ مِنَ الْيَهُودِ الطَّوَّافِينَ المُعَزِّمِينَ أَنْ يُسَمُّوا عَلَى الَّذِينَ بِهِمِ الأَرْوَاحُ الشِّرِّيرَةُ بِاسْمِ الرَّبِّ يَسُوعَ قَائِلِينَ: نُقْسِمُ عَلَيْكَ بِيَسُوعَ الَّذِي يَكْرِزُ بِهِ بُولُسُ.14وَكَانَ سَبْعَةَ بَنِينَ لِسَكَاوَا، رَجُلٍ يَهُودِيٍّ رَئِيسِ كَهَنَةٍ، الَّذِينَ فَعَلُوا هَذَا.15فَأَجَابَ الرُّوحُ الشِّرِّيرُ وَقَالَ: أَمَّا يَسُوعُ فَأَنَا أَعْرِفُهُ، وَبُولُسُ أَنَا أَعْلَمُهُ، وَأَمَّا أَنْتُمْ، فَمَنْ أَنْتُمْ؟16فَوَثَبَ عَلَيْهِمُ الإِنْسَانُ الَّذِي كَانَ فِيهِ الرُّوحُ الشِّرِّيرُ وَغَلَبَهُمْ وَقَوِيَ عَلَيْهِمْ حَتَّى هَرَبُوا مِنْ ذَلِكَ الْبَيْتِ عُرَاةً وَمُجَرَّحِينَ.17وَصَارَ هَذَا مَعْلُوماً عِنْدَ جَمِيعِ الْيَهُودِ وَالْيُونَانِيِّينَ السَّاكِنِينَ فِي أَفَسُسَ، فَوَقَعَ خَوْفٌ عَلَى جَمِيعِهِمْ وَكَانَ اسْمُ الرَّبِّ يَسُوعَ يَتَعَظَّمُ.18وَكَانَ كَثِيرُونَ مِنَ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا يَأْتُونَ مُقِرِّينَ وَمُخْبِرِينَ بِأَفْعَالِهِمْ.19وَكَانَ كَثِيرُونَ مِنَ الَّذِينَ يَسْتَعْمِلُونَ السِّحْرَ يَجْمَعُونَ الْكُتُبَ وَيُحَرِّقُونَهَا أَمَامَ الْجَمِيعِ، وَحَسَبُوا أَثْمَانَهَا فَوَجَدُوهَا خَمْسِينَ أَلْفاً مِنَ الْفِضَّةِ.20هَكَذَا كَانَتْ كَلِمَةُ الرَّبِّ تَنْمُو وَتَقْوَى بِشِدَّةٍ.

21وَلَمَّا كَمَلَتْ هَذِهِ الأُمُورُ وَضَعَ بُولُسُ فِي نَفْسِهِ أَنَّهُ بَعْدَمَا يَجْتَازُ فِي مَكِدُونِيَّةَ وَأَخَائِيَةَ يَذْهَبُ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ قَائِلاً: إِنِّي بَعْدَ مَا أَصِيرُ هُنَاكَ يَنْبَغِي أَنْ أَرَى رُومِيَةَ أَيْضاً.22فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَى مَكِدُونِيَّةَ اثْنَيْنِ مِنَ الَّذِينَ كَانُوا يَخْدِمُونَهُ، تِيمُوثَاوُسَ وَأَرَسْطُوسَ، وَلَبِثَ هُوَ زَمَاناً فِي أَسِيَّا.

شَغَب الصياغة في أفسس

23وَحَدَثَ فِي ذَلِكَ الْوَقْتِ شَغَبٌ لَيْسَ بِقَلِيلٍ بِسَبَبِ هَذَا الطَّرِيقِ.24لأَنَّ إِنْسَاناً اسْمُهُ دِيمِتْرِيُوسُ، صَائِغٌ صَانِعُ هَيَاكِلِ فِضَّةٍ لأَرْطَامِيسَ، كَانَ يُكَسِّبُ الصُّنَّاعَ مَكْسَباً لَيْسَ بِقَلِيلٍ.25فَجَمَعَهُمْ وَالْفَعَلَةَ فِي مِثْلِ ذَلِكَ الْعَمَلِ وَقَالَ: أَيُّهَا الرِّجَالُ، أَنْتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ أَنَّ سِعَتَنَا إِنَّمَا هِيَ مِنْ هَذِهِ الصِّنَاعَةِ.26وَأَنْتُمْ تَنْظُرُونَ وَتَسْمَعُونَ أَنَّهُ لَيْسَ مِنْ أَفَسُسَ فَقَطْ بَلْ مِنْ جَمِيعِ أَسِيَّا تَقْرِيباً اسْتَمَالَ وَأَزَاغَ بُولُسُ هَذَا جَمْعاً كَثِيراً قَائِلاً: إِنَّ الَّتِي تُصْنَعُ بِالأَيَادِي لَيْسَتْ آلِهَةً.27فَلَيْسَ نَصِيبُنَا هَذَا وَحْدَهُ فِي خَطَرٍ مِنْ أَنْ يَحْصُلَ فِي إِهَانَةٍ بَلْ أَيْضاً هَيْكَلُ أَرْطَامِيسَ، الإِلَهَةِ الْعَظِيمَةِ، أَنْ يُحْسَبَ لاَ شَيْءَ وَأَنْ سَوْفَ تُهْدَمُ عَظَمَتُهَا، هِيَ الَّتِي يَعْبُدُهَا جَمِيعُ أَسِيَّا وَالمَسْكُونَةِ.28فَلَمَّا سَمِعُوا امْتَلأُوا غَضَباً وَطَفِقُوا يَصْرُخُونَ قَائِلِينَ: عَظِيمَةٌ هِيَ أَرْطَامِيسُ الأَفَسُسِيِّينَ.29فَامْتَلأَتِ المَدِينَةُ كُلُّهَا اضْطِرَاباً وَانْدَفَعُوا بِنَفْسٍ وَاحِدَةٍ إِلَى المَشْهَدِ خَاطِفِينَ مَعَهُمْ غَايُوسَ وَأَرِسْتَرْخُسَ المَكِدُونِيَّيْنِ، رَفِيقَيْ بُولُسَ فِي السَّفَرِ.

30وَلَمَّا كَانَ بُولُسُ يُرِيدُ أَنْ يَدْخُلَ بَيْنَ الشَّعْبِ لَمْ يَدَعْهُ التَّلاَمِيذُ.31وَأُنَاسٌ مِنْ وُجُوهِ أَسِيَّا كَانُوا أَصْدِقَاءَهُ أَرْسَلُوا يَطْلُبُونَ إِلَيْهِ أَنْ لاَ يُسَلِّمَ نَفْسَهُ إِلَى المَشْهَدِ.32وَكَانَ الْبَعْضُ يَصْرُخُونَ بِشَيْءٍ وَالْبَعْضُ بِشَيْءٍ آخَرَ لأَنَّ المَحْفَلَ كَانَ مُضْطَرِباً وَأَكْثَرُهُمْ لاَ يَدْرُونَ لأَيِّ شَيْءٍ كَانُوا قَدِ اجْتَمَعُوا.33فَاجْتَذَبُوا إِسْكَنْدَرَ مِنَ الْجَمْعِ، وَكَانَ الْيَهُودُ يَدْفَعُونَهُ، فَأَشَارَ إِسْكَنْدَرُ بِيَدِهِ يُرِيدُ أَنْ يَحْتَجَّ لِلشَّعْبِ.34فَلَمَّا عَرَفُوا أَنَّهُ يَهُودِيٌّ صَارَ صَوْتٌ وَاحِدٌ مِنَ الْجَمِيعِ صَارِخِينَ نَحْوَ مُدَّةِ سَاعَتَيْنِ: عَظِيمَةٌ هِيَ أَرْطَامِيسُ الأَفَسُسِيِّينَ.

35ثُمَّ سَكَّنَ الْكَاتِبُ الْجَمْعَ وَقَالَ: أَيُّهَا الرِّجَالُ الأَفَسُسِيُّونَ، مَنْ هُوَ الإِنْسَانُ الَّذِي لاَ يَعْلَمُ أَنَّ مَدِينَةَ الأَفَسُسِيِّينَ مُتَعَبِّدَةٌ لأَرْطَامِيسَ، الإِلَهَةِ الْعَظِيمَةِ وَالتِّمْثَالِ الَّذِي هَبَطَ مِنْ زَفْسَ؟36فَإِذْ كَانَتْ هَذِهِ الأَشْيَاءُ لاَ تُقَاوَمُ يَنْبَغِي أَنْ تَكُونُوا هَادِئِينَ وَلاَ تَفْعَلُوا شَيْئاً اقْتِحَاماً.37لأَنَّكُمْ أَتَيْتُمْ بِهَذَيْنِ الرَّجُلَيْنِ وَهُمَا لَيْسَا سَارِقَيْ هَيَاكِلَ وَلاَ مُجَدِّفَيْنِ عَلَى إِلَهَتِكُمْ.38فَإِنْ كَانَ دِيمِتْرِيُوسُ وَالصُّنَّاعُ الَّذِينَ مَعَهُ لَهُمْ دَعْوَى عَلَى أَحَدٍ، فَإِنَّهُ تُقَامُ أَيَّامٌ لِلْقَضَاءِ وَيُوجَدُ وُلاَةٌ، فَلْيُرَافِعُوا بَعْضُهُمْ بَعْضاً.39وَإِنْ كُنْتُمْ تَطْلُبُونَ شَيْئاً مِنْ جِهَةِ أُمُورٍ أُخَرَ فَإِنَّهُ يُقْضَى فِي مَحْفِلٍ شَرْعِيٍّ.40لأَنَّنَا فِي خَطَرٍ أَنْ نُحَاكَمَ مِنْ أَجْلِ فِتْنَةِ هَذَا الْيَوْمِ وَلَيْسَ عِلَّةٌ يُمْكِنُنَا مِنْ أَجْلِهَا أَنْ نُقَدِّمَ حِسَاباً عَنْ هَذَا التَّجَمُّعِ.41وَلَمَّا قَالَ هَذَا صَرَفَ المَحْفَلَ.
