١ كورنثوس 7

١ 1 وَأَمَّا مِنْ جِهَةِ ٱلْأُمُورِ ٱلَّتِي كَتَبْتُمْ لِي عَنْهَا: فَحَسَنٌ لِلرَّجُلِ أَنْ لَا يَمَسَّ ٱمْرَأَةً.

But concerning the things of which ye have written [to me]: [It is] good for a man not to touch a woman;

٢ 2 وَلَكِنْ لِسَبَبِ ٱلزِّنَا، لِيَكُنْ لِكُلِّ وَاحِدٍ ٱمْرَأَتُهُ، وَلْيَكُنْ لِكُلِّ وَاحِدَةٍ رَجُلُهَا.

but on account of fornications, let each have his own wife, and each [woman] have her own husband.

٣ 3 لِيُوفِ ٱلرَّجُلُ ٱلْمَرْأَةَ حَقَّهَا ٱلْوَاجِبَ، وَكَذَلِكَ ٱلْمَرْأَةُ أَيْضًا ٱلرَّجُلَ.

Let the husband render her due to the wife, and in like manner the wife to the husband.

٤ 4 لَيْسَ لِلْمَرْأَةِ تَسَلُّطٌ عَلَى جَسَدِهَا، بَلْ لِلرَّجُلِ. وَكَذَلِكَ ٱلرَّجُلُ أَيْضًا لَيْسَ لَهُ تَسَلُّطٌ عَلَى جَسَدِهِ، بَلْ لِلْمَرْأَةِ.

The wife has not authority over her own body, but the husband: in like manner also the husband has not authority over his own body, but the wife.

٥ 5 لَا يَسْلُبْ أَحَدُكُمُ ٱلْآخَرَ، إِلَّا أَنْ يَكُونَ عَلَى مُوافَقَةٍ، إِلَى حِينٍ، لِكَيْ تَتَفَرَّغُوا لِلصَّوْمِ وَٱلصَّلَاةِ، ثُمَّ تَجْتَمِعُوا أَيْضًا مَعًا لِكَيْ لَا يُجَرِّبَكُمُ ٱلشَّيْطَانُ لِسَبَبِ عَدَمِ نَزَاهَتِكُمْ.

Defraud not one another, unless, it may be, by consent for a time, that ye may devote yourselves to prayer, and again be together, that Satan tempt you not because of your incontinency.

٦ 6 وَلَكِنْ أَقُولُ هَذَا عَلَى سَبِيلِ ٱلْإِذْنِ لَا عَلَى سَبِيلِ ٱلْأَمْرِ.

But this I say, as consenting [to], not as commanding [it].

٧ 7 لِأَنِّي أُرِيدُ أَنْ يَكُونَ جَمِيعُ ٱلنَّاسِ كَمَا أَنَا. لَكِنَّ كُلَّ وَاحِدٍ لَهُ مَوْهِبَتُهُ ٱلْخَاصَّةُ مِنَ ٱللهِ. ٱلْوَاحِدُ هَكَذَا وَٱلْآخَرُ هَكَذَا.

Now I wish all men to be even as myself: but every one has his own gift of God: one man thus, and another thus.

٨ 8 وَلَكِنْ أَقُولُ لِغَيْرِ ٱلْمُتَزَوِّجِينَ وَلِلْأَرَامِلِ، إِنَّهُ حَسَنٌ لَهُمْ إِذَا لَبِثُوا كَمَا أَنَا.

But I say to the unmarried and to the widows, It is good for them that they remain even as I.

٩ 9 وَلَكِنْ إِنْ لَمْ يَضْبُطُوا أَنْفُسَهُمْ، فَلْيَتَزَوَّجُوا. لِأَنَّ ٱلتَّزَوُّجَ أَصْلَحُ مِنَ ٱلتَّحَرُّقِ.

But if they have not control over themselves, let them marry; for it is better to marry than to burn.

١٠ 10 وَأَمَّا ٱلْمُتَزَوِّجُونَ، فَأُوصِيهِمْ، لَا أَنَا بَلِ ٱلرَّبُّ، أَنْ لَا تُفَارِقَ ٱلْمَرْأَةُ رَجُلَهَا،

But to the married I enjoin, not I, but the Lord, Let not wife be separated from husband;

١١ 11 وَإِنْ فَارَقَتْهُ، فَلْتَلْبَثْ غَيْرَ مُتَزَوِّجَةٍ، أَوْ لِتُصَالِحْ رَجُلَهَا. وَلَا يَتْرُكِ ٱلرَّجُلُ ٱمْرَأَتَهُ.

(but if also she shall have been separated, let her remain unmarried, or be reconciled to her husband; ) and let not husband leave wife.

١٢ 12 وَأَمَّا ٱلْبَاقُونَ، فَأَقُولُ لَهُمْ أَنَا، لَا ٱلرَّبُّ: إِنْ كَانَ أَخٌ لَهُ ٱمْرَأَةٌ غَيْرُ مُؤْمِنَةٍ، وَهِيَ تَرْتَضِي أَنْ تَسْكُنَ مَعَهُ، فَلَا يَتْرُكْهَا.

But as to the rest, I say, not the Lord, If any brother have an unbelieving wife, and she consent to dwell with him, let him not leave her.

١٣ 13 وَٱلْمَرْأَةُ ٱلَّتِي لَهَا رَجُلٌ غَيْرُ مُؤْمِنٍ، وَهُوَ يَرْتَضِي أَنْ يَسْكُنَ مَعَهَا، فَلَا تَتْرُكْهُ.

And a woman who has an unbelieving husband, and he consents to dwell with her, let her not leave [her] husband.

١٤ 14 لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّجُلَ غَيْرَ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِ مُقَدَّسٌ فِي ٱلْمَرْأَةِ، وَٱلْمَرْأَةَ غَيْرَ ٱلْمُؤْمِنَةِ مُقَدَّسَةٌ فِي ٱلرَّجُلِ. وَإِلَّا فَأَوْلَادُكُمْ نَجِسُونَ، وَأَمَّا ٱلْآنَ فَهُمْ مُقَدَّسُونَ.

For the unbelieving husband is sanctified in the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified in the brother; since [otherwise] indeed your children are unclean, but now they are holy.

١٥ 15 وَلَكِنْ إِنْ فَارَقَ غَيْرُ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِ، فَلْيُفَارِقْ. لَيْسَ ٱلْأَخُ أَوِ ٱلْأُخْتُ مُسْتَعْبَدًا فِي مِثْلِ هَذِهِ ٱلْأَحْوَالِ، وَلَكِنَّ ٱللهَ قَدْ دَعَانَا فِي ٱلسَّلَامِ.

But if the unbeliever go away, let them go away; a brother or a sister is not bound in such [cases], but God has called us in peace.

١٦ 16 لِأَنَّهُ كَيْفَ تَعْلَمِينَ أَيَّتُهَا ٱلْمَرْأَةُ، هَلْ تُخَلِّصِينَ ٱلرَّجُلَ؟ أَوْ كَيْفَ تَعْلَمُ أَيُّهَا ٱلرَّجُلُ، هَلْ تُخَلِّصُ ٱلْمَرْأَةَ؟

For what knowest thou, O wife, if thou shalt save thy husband? or what knowest thou, O husband, if thou shalt save thy wife?

١٧ 17 غَيْرَ أَنَّهُ كَمَا قَسَمَ ٱللهُ لِكُلِّ وَاحِدٍ، كَمَا دَعَا ٱلرَّبُّ كُلَّ وَاحِدٍ، هَكَذَا لِيَسْلُكْ. وَهَكَذَا أَنَا آمُرُ فِي جَمِيعِ ٱلْكَنَائِسِ.

However, as the Lord has divided to each, as God has called each, so let him walk; and thus I ordain in all the assemblies.

١٨ 18 دُعِيَ أَحَدٌ وَهُوَ مَخْتُونٌ، فَلَا يَصِرْ أَغْلَفَ. دُعِيَ أَحَدٌ فِي ٱلْغُرْلَةِ، فَلَا يَخْتَتِنْ.

Has any one been called circumcised? let him not become uncircumcised: has any one been called in uncircumcision? let him not be circumcised.

١٩ 19 لَيْسَ ٱلْخِتَانُ شَيْئًا، وَلَيْسَتِ ٱلْغُرْلَةُ شَيْئًا، بَلْ حِفْظُ وَصَايَا ٱللهِ.

Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing; but keeping God's commandments.

٢٠ 20 اَلدَّعْوَةُ ٱلَّتِي دُعِيَ فِيهَا كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ فَلْيَلْبَثْ فِيهَا.

Let each abide in that calling in which he has been called.

٢١ 21 دُعِيتَ وَأَنْتَ عَبْدٌ فَلَا يَهُمَّكَ. بَلْ وَإِنِ ٱسْتَطَعْتَ أَنْ تَصِيرَ حُرًّا فَٱسْتَعْمِلْهَا بِٱلْحَرِيِّ.

Hast thou been called [being] a bondman, let it not concern thee; but and if thou canst become free, use [it] rather.

٢٢ 22 لِأَنَّ مَنْ دُعِيَ فِي ٱلرَّبِّ وَهُوَ عَبْدٌ، فَهُوَ عَتِيقُ ٱلرَّبِّ. كَذَلِكَ أَيْضًا ٱلْحُرُّ ٱلْمَدْعُوُّ هُوَ عَبْدٌ لِلْمَسِيحِ.

For the bondman that is called in [the] Lord is the Lord's freedman; in like manner [also] the freeman being called is Christ's bondman.

٢٣ 23 قَدِ ٱشْتُرِيتُمْ بِثَمَنٍ، فَلَا تَصِيرُوا عَبِيدًا لِلنَّاسِ.

Ye have been bought with a price; do not be the bondmen of men.

٢٤ 24 مَا دُعِيَ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ فِيهِ أَيُّهَا ٱلْإِخْوَةُ فَلْيَلْبَثْ فِي ذَلِكَ مَعَ ٱللهِ.

Let each, wherein he is called, brethren, therein abide with God.

٢٥ 25 وَأَمَّا ٱلْعَذَارَى، فَلَيْسَ عِنْدِي أَمْرٌ مِنَ ٱلرَّبِّ فِيهِنَّ، وَلَكِنَّنِي أُعْطِي رَأْيًا كَمَنْ رَحِمَهُ ٱلرَّبُّ أَنْ يَكُونَ أَمِينًا.

But concerning virgins, I have no commandment of [the] Lord; but I give my opinion, as having received mercy of [the] Lord to be faithful.

٢٦ 26 فَأَظُنُّ أَنَّ هَذَا حَسَنٌ لِسَبَبِ ٱلضِّيقِ ٱلْحَاضِرِ، أَنَّهُ حَسَنٌ لِلْإِنْسَانِ أَنْ يَكُونَ هَكَذَا:

I think then that this is good, on account of the present necessity, that [it is] good for a man to remain so as he is.

٢٧ 27 أَنْتَ مُرْتَبِطٌ بِٱمْرَأَةٍ! فَلَا تَطْلُبِ ٱلِٱنْفِصَالَ. أَنْتَ مُنْفَصِلٌ عَنِ ٱمْرَأَةٍ! فَلَا تَطْلُبِ ٱمْرَأَةً.

Art thou bound to a wife? seek not to be loosed; art thou free from a wife? do not seek a wife.

٢٨ 28 لَكِنَّكَ وَإِنْ تَزَوَّجْتَ لَمْ تُخْطِئْ. وَإِنْ تَزَوَّجَتِ ٱلْعَذْرَاءُ لَمْ تُخْطِئْ. وَلَكِنَّ مِثْلَ هَؤُلَاءِ يَكُونُ لَهُمْ ضِيقٌ فِي ٱلْجَسَدِ. وَأَمَّا أَنَا فَإِنِّي أُشْفِقُ عَلَيْكُمْ.

But if thou shouldest also marry, thou hast not sinned; and if the virgin marry, they have not sinned: but such shall have tribulation in the flesh; but I spare you.

٢٩ 29 فَأَقُولُ هَذَا أَيُّهَا ٱلْإِخْوَةُ: ٱلْوَقْتُ مُنْذُ ٱلْآنَ مُقَصَّرٌ، لِكَيْ يَكُونَ ٱلَّذِينَ لَهُمْ نِسَاءٌ كَأَنْ لَيْسَ لَهُمْ،

But this I say, brethren, the time is straitened. For the rest, that they who have wives, be as not having [any]:

٣٠ 30 وَٱلَّذِينَ يَبْكُونَ كَأَنَّهُمْ لَا يَبْكُونَ، وَٱلَّذِينَ يَفْرَحُونَ كَأَنَّهُمْ لَا يَفْرَحُونَ، وَٱلَّذِينَ يَشْتَرُونَ كَأَنَّهُمْ لَا يَمْلِكُونَ،

and they that weep, as not weeping; and they that rejoice, as not rejoicing; and they that buy, as not possessing;

٣١ 31 وَٱلَّذِينَ يَسْتَعْمِلُونَ هَذَا ٱلْعَالَمَ كَأَنَّهُمْ لَا يَسْتَعْمِلُونَهُ. لِأَنَّ هَيْئَةَ هَذَا ٱلْعَالَمِ تَزُولُ.

and they that use the world, as not disposing of it as their own; for the fashion of this world passes.

٣٢ 32 فَأُرِيدُ أَنْ تَكُونُوا بِلَا هَمٍّ. غَيْرُ ٱلْمُتَزَوِّجِ يَهْتَمُّ فِي مَا لِلرَّبِّ كَيْفَ يُرْضِي ٱلرَّبَّ،

But I wish you to be without care. The unmarried cares for the things of the Lord, how he shall please the Lord;

٣٣ 33 وَأَمَّا ٱلْمُتَزَوِّجُ فَيَهْتَمُّ فِي مَا لِلْعَالَمِ كَيْفَ يُرْضِي ٱمْرَأَتَهُ.

but he that has married cares for the things of the world, how he shall please his wife.

٣٤ 34 إِنَّ بَيْنَ ٱلزَّوْجَةِ وَٱلْعَذْرَاءِ فَرْقًا: غَيْرُ ٱلْمُتَزَوِّجَةِ تَهْتَمُّ فِي مَا لِلرَّبِّ لِتَكُونَ مُقَدَّسَةً جَسَدًا وَرُوحًا. وَأَمَّا ٱلْمُتَزَوِّجَةُ فَتَهْتَمُّ فِي مَا لِلْعَالَمِ كَيْفَ تُرْضِي رَجُلَهَا.

There is a difference between the wife and the virgin. The unmarried cares for the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and spirit; but she that has married cares for the things of the world, how she shall please her husband.

٣٥ 35 هَذَا أَقُولُهُ لِخَيْرِكُمْ، لَيْسَ لِكَيْ أُلْقِيَ عَلَيْكُمْ وَهَقًا، بَلْ لِأَجْلِ ٱللِّيَاقَةِ وَٱلْمُثَابَرَةِ لِلرَّبِّ مِنْ دُونِ ٱرْتِبَاكٍ.

But I say this for your own profit; not that I may set a snare before you, but for what [is] seemly, and waiting on the Lord without distraction.

٣٦ 36 وَلَكِنْ إِنْ كَانَ أَحَدٌ يَظُنُّ أَنَّهُ يَعْمَلُ بِدُونِ لِيَاقَةٍ نَحْوَ عَذْرَائِهِ إِذَا تَجَاوَزَتِ ٱلْوَقْتَ، وَهَكَذَا لَزِمَ أَنْ يَصِيرَ، فَلْيَفْعَلْ مَا يُرِيدُ. إِنَّهُ لَا يُخْطِئُ. فَلْيَتَزَوَّجَا.

But if any one think that he behaves unseemly to his virginity, if he be beyond the flower of his age, and so it must be, let him do what he will, he does not sin: let them marry.

٣٧ 37 وَأَمَّا مَنْ أَقَامَ رَاسِخًا فِي قَلْبِهِ، وَلَيْسَ لَهُ ٱضْطِرَارٌ، بَلْ لَهُ سُلْطَانٌ عَلَى إِرَادَتِهِ، وَقَدْ عَزَمَ عَلَى هَذَا فِي قَلْبِهِ أَنْ يَحْفَظَ عَذْرَاءَهُ، فَحَسَنًا يَفْعَلُ.

But he who stands firm in his heart, having no need, but has authority over his own will, and has judged this in his heart to keep his own virginity, he does well.

٣٨ 38 إِذًا، مَنْ زَوَّجَ فَحَسَنًا يَفْعَلُ، وَمَنْ لَا يُزَوِّجُ يَفْعَلُ أَحْسَنَ.

So that he that marries himself does well; and he that does not marry does better.

٣٩ 39 ٱلْمَرْأَةُ مُرْتَبِطَةٌ بِٱلنَّامُوسِ مَا دَامَ رَجُلُهَا حَيًّا. وَلَكِنْ إِنْ مَاتَ رَجُلُهَا، فَهِيَ حُرَّةٌ لِكَيْ تَتَزَوَّجَ بِمَنْ تُرِيدُ، فِي ٱلرَّبِّ فَقَطْ.

A wife is bound for whatever time her husband lives; but if the husband be fallen asleep, she is free to be married to whom she will, only in [the] Lord.

٤٠ 40 وَلَكِنَّهَا أَكْثَرُ غِبْطَةً إِنْ لَبِثَتْ هَكَذَا، بِحَسَبِ رَأْيِي. وَأَظُنُّ أَنِّي أَنَا أَيْضًا عِنْدِي رُوحُ ٱللهِ.

But she is happier if she so remain, according to my judgment; but I think that I also have God's Spirit.
