١ كورنثوس 16

١ 1 وَأَمَّا مِنْ جِهَةِ ٱلْجَمْعِ لِأَجْلِ ٱلْقِدِّيسِينَ، فَكَمَا أَوْصَيْتُ كَنَائِسَ غَلَاطِيَّةَ هَكَذَا ٱفْعَلُوا أَنْتُمْ أَيْضًا.

Now concerning the collection for the saints, as I directed the churches of Galatia, so also do ye.

٢ 2 فِي كُلِّ أَوَّلِ أُسْبُوعٍ، لِيَضَعْ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْكُمْ عِنْدَهُ خَازِنًا مَا تَيَسَّرَ، حَتَّى إِذَا جِئْتُ لَا يَكُونُ جَمْعٌ حِينَئِذٍ.

Upon the first day of the week let every one of you set apart something, putting it into the treasury, according as he is prospered: that there may be no need of collections, when I come.

٣ 3 وَمَتَى حَضَرْتُ، فَٱلَّذِينَ تَسْتَحْسِنُونَهُمْ أُرْسِلُهُمْ بِرَسَائِلَ لِيَحْمِلُوا إِحْسَانَكُمْ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ.

And when I am with you, whomsoever ye shall approve, I will send, with your letters, to carry your bounty to Jerusalem.

٤ 4 وَإِنْ كَانَ يَسْتَحِقُّ أَنْ أَذْهَبَ أَنَا أَيْضًا، فَسَيَذْهَبُونَ مَعِي.

And if it be requisite for me to go also, they shall go with me.

٥ 5 وَسَأَجِيءُ إِلَيْكُمْ مَتَى ٱجْتَزْتُ بِمَكِدُونِيَّةَ، لِأَنِّي أَجْتَازُ بِمَكِدُونِيَّةَ.

I will come to you, when I have passed through Macedonia; for I am to pass through Macedonia.

٦ 6 وَرُبَّمَا أَمْكُثُ عِنْدَكُمْ أَوْ أُشَتِّي أَيْضًا لِكَيْ تُشَيِّعُونِي إِلَى حَيْثُمَا أَذْهَبُ.

And perhaps I shall stay a while, or even pass the winter with you; that ye may forward me on my journey, whithersoever I go.

٧ 7 لِأَنِّي لَسْتُ أُرِيدُ ٱلْآنَ أَنْ أَرَاكُمْ فِي ٱلْعُبُورِ، لِأَنِّي أَرْجُو أَنْ أَمْكُثَ عِنْدَكُمْ زَمَانًا إِنْ أَذِنَ ٱلرَّبُّ.

For I do not intend to see you now in my way, as I hope to stay some time with you, if the Lord permit.

٨ 8 وَلَكِنَّنِي أَمْكُثُ فِي أَفَسُسَ إِلَى يَوْمِ ٱلْخَمْسِينَ،

But I shall stay at Ephesus till Pentecost. For a great and effectual door is opened to me,

٩ 9 لِأَنَّهُ قَدِ ٱنْفَتَحَ لِي بَابٌ عَظِيمٌ فَعَّالٌ، وَيُوجَدُ مُعَانِدُونَ كَثِيرُونَ.

though there are many opposers.

١٠ 10 ثُمَّ إِنْ أَتَى تِيمُوثَاوُسُ، فَٱنْظُرُوا أَنْ يَكُونَ عِنْدَكُمْ بِلَا خَوْفٍ. لِأَنَّهُ يَعْمَلُ عَمَلَ ٱلرَّبِّ كَمَا أَنَا أَيْضًا.

If Timothy should come, see that he be with you without fear: for he is employed in the work of the Lord, as I also am.

١١ 11 فَلَا يَحْتَقِرْهُ أَحَدٌ، بَلْ شَيِّعُوهُ بِسَلَامٍ لِيَأْتِيَ إِلَيَّ، لِأَنِّي أَنْتَظِرُهُ مَعَ ٱلْإِخْوَةِ.

Let no one therefore despise him: but forward him on his journey in peace, that he may come to me; for I expect him with the brethren. As to our brother Apollos,

١٢ 12 وَأَمَّا مِنْ جِهَةِ أَبُلُّوسَ ٱلْأَخِ، فَطَلَبْتُ إِلَيْهِ كَثِيرًا أَنْ يَأْتِيَ إِلَيْكُمْ مَعَ ٱلْإِخْوَةِ، وَلَمْ تَكُنْ لَهُ إِرَادَةٌ ٱلْبَتَّةَ أَنْ يَأْتِيَ ٱلْآنَ. وَلَكِنَّهُ سَيَأْتِي مَتَى تَوَفَّقَ ٱلْوَقْتُ.

I much importuned him to come to you with the brethren: but he was not at all willing to come now; though he will come when he has a favorable opportunity.

١٣ 13 اِسْهَرُوا. ٱثْبُتُوا فِي ٱلْإِيمَانِ. كُونُوا رِجَالًا. تَقَوَّوْا.

Be watchful, stand fast in the faith, behave like men, be strong:

١٤ 14 لِتَصِرْ كُلُّ أُمُورِكُمْ فِي مَحَبَّةٍ.

and let all your affairs be carried on in love.

١٥ 15 وَأَطْلُبُ إِلَيْكُمْ أَيُّهَا ٱلْإِخْوَةُ: أَنْتُمْ تَعْرِفُونَ بَيْتَ ٱسْتِفَانَاسَ أَنَّهُمْ بَاكُورَةُ أَخَائِيَةَ، وَقَدْ رَتَّبُوا أَنْفُسَهُمْ لِخِدْمَةِ ٱلْقِدِّيسِينَ،

I beseech you, brethren, (for ye know the family of Stephanas, that they are the first-fruits of Achaia, and

١٦ 16 كَيْ تَخْضَعُوا أَنْتُمْ أَيْضًا لِمِثْلِ هَؤُلَاءِ، وَكُلِّ مَنْ يَعْمَلُ مَعَهُمْ وَيَتْعَبُ.

have set themselves to minister to the saints) that you also would be subservient to such, and to every one that worketh and laboureth with us.

١٧ 17 ثُمَّ إِنِّي أَفْرَحُ بِمَجِيءِ ٱسْتِفَانَاسَ وَفُرْتُونَاتُوسَ وَأَخَائِيكُوسَ، لِأَنَّ نُقْصَانَكُمْ، هَؤُلَاءِ قَدْ جَبَرُوهُ،

I rejoice at the coming of Stephanas, and Fortunatus, and Achaicus: for what was wanting in you, they have made up.

١٨ 18 إِذْ أَرَاحُوا رُوحِي وَرُوحَكُمْ. فَٱعْرِفُوا مِثْلَ هَؤُلَاءِ.

For they have refreshed my spirit as well as yours: have a due regard therefore to such worthy persons.

١٩ 19 تُسَلِّمُ عَلَيْكُمْ كَنَائِسُ أَسِيَّا. يُسَلِّمُ عَلَيْكُمْ فِي ٱلرَّبِّ كَثِيرًا أَكِيلَا وَبِرِيسْكِلَّا مَعَ ٱلْكَنِيسَةِ ٱلَّتِي فِي بَيْتِهِمَا.

The churches of Asia salute you. Aquila and Priscilla, with the church in their house, salute you in the Lord with much affection:

٢٠ 20 يُسَلِّمُ عَلَيْكُمُ ٱلْإِخْوَةُ أَجْمَعُونَ. سَلِّمُوا بَعْضُكُمْ عَلَى بَعْضٍ بِقُبْلَةٍ مُقَدَّسَةٍ.

yea all the brethren salute you. Salute one another with an holy kiss.

٢١ 21 اَلسَّلَامُ بِيَدِي أَنَا بُولُسَ.

The salutation of me Paul I write with my own hand.

٢٢ 22 إِنْ كَانَ أَحَدٌ لَا يُحِبُّ ٱلرَّبَّ يَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحَ فَلْيَكُنْ أَنَاثِيمَا! مَارَانْ أَثَا.

If any one love not the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be made a curse.

٢٣ 23 نِعْمَةُ ٱلرَّبِّ يَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ مَعَكُمْ.

Maran-atha. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.

٢٤ 24 مَحَبَّتِي مَعَ جَمِيعِكُمْ فِي ٱلْمَسِيحِ يَسُوعَ. آمِينَ.

My love be with you all in Christ Jesus. Amen.
