< ١ بطرس 3 >
كَذَلِكُنَّ أَيَّتُهَا ٱلنِّسَاءُ، كُنَّ خَاضِعَاتٍ لِرِجَالِكُنَّ، حَتَّى وَإِنْ كَانَ ٱلْبَعْضُ لَا يُطِيعُونَ ٱلْكَلِمَةَ، يُرْبَحُونَ بِسِيرَةِ ٱلنِّسَاءِ بِدُونِ كَلِمَةٍ، | ١ 1 |
In the same way you wives must be submissive to your own husbands; so that if some of them will not believe the message, they may apart from the message be won over by the behavior of their wives,
مُلَاحِظِينَ سِيرَتَكُنَّ ٱلطَّاهِرَةَ بِخَوْفٍ. | ٢ 2 |
when they see how pure and reverent you are.
وَلَا تَكُنْ زِينَتُكُنَّ ٱلزِّينَةَ ٱلْخَارِجِيَّةَ، مِنْ ضَفْرِ ٱلشَّعْرِ وَٱلتَّحَلِّي بِٱلذَّهَبِ وَلِبْسِ ٱلثِّيَابِ، | ٣ 3 |
Your adornment ought not to be the outward adornment of plaited hair and golden jewels and the wearing of beautiful dresses;
بَلْ إِنْسَانَ ٱلْقَلْبِ ٱلْخَفِيَّ فِي ٱلْعَدِيمَةِ ٱلْفَسَادِ، زِينَةَ ٱلرُّوحِ ٱلْوَدِيعِ ٱلْهَادِئ، ٱلَّذِي هُوَ قُدَّامَ ٱللهِ كَثِيرُ ٱلثَّمَنِ. | ٤ 4 |
but rather that hidden personality of the heart, the imperishable ornament of a quiet and gentle spirit, which in the sight of God is indeed precious.
فَإِنَّهُ هَكَذَا كَانَتْ قَدِيمًا ٱلنِّسَاءُ ٱلْقِدِّيسَاتُ أَيْضًا ٱلْمُتَوَكِّلَاتُ عَلَى ٱللهِ، يُزَيِّنَّ أَنْفُسَهُنَّ خَاضِعَاتٍ لِرِجَالِهِنَّ، | ٥ 5 |
For in this way in the olden time the holy women also, who put their trust in God, used to adorn themselves. They were ever in submission to their own husbands;
كَمَا كَانَتْ سَارَةُ تُطِيعُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ دَاعِيَةً إِيَّاهُ «سَيِّدَهَا». ٱلَّتِي صِرْتُنَّ أَوْلَادَهَا، صَانِعَاتٍ خَيْرًا، وَغَيْرَ خَائِفَاتٍ خَوْفًا ٱلْبَتَّةَ. | ٦ 6 |
thus, for example, Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord. And you are daughters of Sarah, if you do what is right, and permit nothing to make you afraid.
كَذَلِكُمْ أَيُّهَا ٱلرِّجَالُ، كُونُوا سَاكِنِينَ بِحَسَبِ ٱلْفِطْنَةِ مَعَ ٱلْإِنَاءِ ٱلنِّسَائِيِّ كَٱلْأَضْعَفِ، مُعْطِينَ إِيَّاهُنَّ كَرَامَةً، كَٱلْوَارِثَاتِ أَيْضًا مَعَكُمْ نِعْمَةَ ٱلْحَيَاةِ، لِكَيْ لَا تُعَاقَ صَلَوَاتُكُمْ. | ٧ 7 |
In the same way you husbands live with your wives, according to knowledge, honoring your wife as of the weaker sex, yet as an heir with yourself of the grace of life; so that your prayers may not be hindered.
وَٱلنِّهَايَةُ، كُونُوا جَمِيعًا مُتَّحِدِي ٱلرَّأْيِ بِحِسٍّ وَاحِدٍ، ذَوِي مَحَبَّةٍ أَخَوِيَّةٍ، مُشْفِقِينَ، لُطَفَاءَ، | ٨ 8 |
Finally, you should all be harmonious, sympathetic, loving as brothers, tender-hearted, humble-minded;
غَيْرَ مُجَازِينَ عَنْ شَرٍّ بِشَرٍّ أَوْ عَنْ شَتِيمَةٍ بِشَتِيمَةٍ، بَلْ بِٱلْعَكْسِ مُبَارِكِينَ، عَالِمِينَ أَنَّكُمْ لِهَذَا دُعِيتُمْ لِكَيْ تَرِثُوا بَرَكَةً. | ٩ 9 |
not paying back evil for evil or abuse for abuse, but on the contrary giving a blessing. Because for this you have been called - to inherit a blessing.
لِأَنَّ: «مَنْ أَرَادَ أَنْ يُحِبَّ ٱلْحَيَاةَ، وَيَرَى أَيَّامًا صَالِحَةً، فَلْيَكْفُفْ لِسَانَهُ عَنِ ٱلشَّرِّ، وَشَفَتَيْهِ أَنْ تَتَكَلَّمَا بِٱلْمَكْرِ، | ١٠ 10 |
He who would love life and enjoy happy days, Let him keep his tongue from evil, And his lips from speaking guile;
لِيُعْرِضْ عَنِ ٱلشَّرِّ، وَيَصْنَعِ ٱلْخَيْرَ، لِيَطْلُبِ ٱلسَّلَامَ، وَيَجِدَّ فِي أَثَرِهِ. | ١١ 11 |
Let him turn from evil and do good, Let him seek peace, and pursue it.
لِأَنَّ عَيْنَيِ ٱلرَّبِّ عَلَى ٱلْأَبْرَارِ، وَأُذْنَيْهِ إِلَى طَلِبَتِهِمْ، وَلَكِنَّ وَجْهَ ٱلرَّبِّ ضِدُّ فَاعِلِي ٱلشَّرِّ». | ١٢ 12 |
For the eyes of the Lord are upon the righteous, And his ears are open to their cry; But the face of the Lord is set against evil-doers.
فَمَنْ يُؤْذِيكُمْ إِنْ كُنْتُمْ مُتَمَثِّلِينَ بِٱلْخَيْرِ؟ | ١٣ 13 |
Yet who will harm you if you become zealous for the good?
وَلَكِنْ وَإِنْ تَأَلَّمْتُمْ مِنْ أَجْلِ ٱلْبِرِّ، فَطُوبَاكُمْ. وَأَمَّا خَوْفَهُمْ فَلَا تَخَافُوهُ وَلَا تَضْطَرِبُوا، | ١٤ 14 |
But even if you should suffer in behalf of righteousness, you are happy. Do not be afraid of their terror, neither be troubled.
بَلْ قَدِّسُوا ٱلرَّبَّ ٱلْإِلَهَ فِي قُلُوبِكُمْ، مُسْتَعِدِّينَ دَائِمًا لِمُجَاوَبَةِ كُلِّ مَنْ يَسْأَلُكُمْ عَنْ سَبَبِ ٱلرَّجَاءِ ٱلَّذِي فِيكُمْ، بِوَدَاعَةٍ وَخَوْفٍ، | ١٥ 15 |
But consecrate Christ in your hearts, as Lord. Be always in readiness to make and answer to any one who asks you a reason for the hope that is within you, yet with gentleness and reverence.
وَلَكُمْ ضَمِيرٌ صَالِحٌ، لِكَيْ يَكُونَ ٱلَّذِينَ يَشْتِمُونَ سِيرَتَكُمُ ٱلصَّالِحَةَ فِي ٱلْمَسِيحِ، يُخْزَوْنَ فِي مَا يَفْتَرُونَ عَلَيْكُمْ كَفَاعِلِي شَرٍّ. | ١٦ 16 |
See that you have a clear conscience, so that, although they speak of you as evil-doers, these libelers of your good Christian lives may be ashamed.
لِأَنَّ تَأَلُّمَكُمْ إِنْ شَاءَتْ مَشِيئَةُ ٱللهِ، وَأَنْتُمْ صَانِعُونَ خَيْرًا، أَفْضَلُ مِنْهُ وَأَنْتُمْ صَانِعُونَ شَرًّا. | ١٧ 17 |
For it is better that you suffer for doing right, if such be God’s will, than for doing wrong;
فَإِنَّ ٱلْمَسِيحَ أَيْضًا تَأَلَّمَ مَرَّةً وَاحِدَةً مِنْ أَجْلِ ٱلْخَطَايَا، ٱلْبَارُّ مِنْ أَجْلِ ٱلْأَثَمَةِ، لِكَيْ يُقَرِّبَنَا إِلَى ٱللهِ، مُمَاتًا فِي ٱلْجَسَدِ وَلَكِنْ مُحْيىً فِي ٱلرُّوحِ، | ١٨ 18 |
because Christ also once for all suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God. He was put to death in the flesh, but make alive in spirit.
ٱلَّذِي فِيهِ أَيْضًا ذَهَبَ فَكَرَزَ لِلْأَرْوَاحِ ٱلَّتِي فِي ٱلسِّجْنِ، | ١٩ 19 |
(It was in spirit that he went and preached the Word to the spirits who were in prison,
إِذْ عَصَتْ قَدِيمًا، حِينَ كَانَتْ أَنَاةُ ٱللهِ تَنْتَظِرُ مَرَّةً فِي أَيَّامِ نُوحٍ، إِذْ كَانَ ٱلْفُلْكُ يُبْنَى، ٱلَّذِي فِيهِ خَلَصَ قَلِيلُونَ، أَيْ ثَمَانِي أَنْفُسٍ بِٱلْمَاءِ. | ٢٠ 20 |
who in old times had been disobedient, when God’s longsuffering was waiting in the days of Noah, while an ark was building, in which a few persons - eight in number - were saved by water.)
ٱلَّذِي مِثَالُهُ يُخَلِّصُنَا نَحْنُ ٱلْآنَ، أَيِ ٱلْمَعْمُودِيَّةُ. لَا إِزَالَةُ وَسَخِ ٱلْجَسَدِ، بَلْ سُؤَالُ ضَمِيرٍ صَالِحٍ عَنِ ٱللهِ، بِقِيَامَةِ يَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ، | ٢١ 21 |
Baptism, the counterpart of that, now saves you (not the washing off of the filth of the flesh, but the prayer for a good conscience toward God), through the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
ٱلَّذِي هُوَ فِي يَمِينِ ٱللهِ، إِذْ قَدْ مَضَى إِلَى ٱلسَّمَاءِ، وَمَلَائِكَةٌ وَسَلَاطِينُ وَقُوَّاتٌ مُخْضَعَةٌ لَهُ. | ٢٢ 22 |
He is gone into heaven, and is on the right hand of God; to Him angels and authorities and powers have been made subject.
