Acts 27:12

Arabic Simplified (الكِتاب المُقَدَّس: التَّرْجَمَةُ العَرَبِيَّةُ المُبَسَّطَةُ)

وَبِمَا أنَّ المِينَاءَ لَمْ يَكُنْ مُنَاسِبًا لِقَضَاءِ الشِّتَاءِ، قَرَّرَ أغلَبُهُمْ أنْ يَنْطَلِقُوا إلَى البَحْرِ مِنْ هُنَاكَ. فَقَدْ كَانُوا يُرِيدُونَ أنْ يُحَاوِلُوا الوُصُولَ إلَى فِينِكسَ إنْ أمكَنَ، لِيَقْضوا الشِّتَاءَ هُنَاكَ. وَفِينِكسُ هِيَ مِينَاءٌ فِي جَزِيرَةِ كرِيتَ يُواجِهُ الجَنُوبَ الغَربِيَّ وَالشِّمَالَ الغَربِيَّ.
