١ بطرس 5
| أَطْلُبُ إِلَى ٱلشُّيُوخِ ٱلَّذِينَ بَيْنَكُمْ، أَنَا ٱلشَّيْخَ رَفِيقَهُمْ، وَٱلشَّاهِدَ لِآلَامِ ٱلْمَسِيحِ، وَشَرِيكَ ٱلْمَجْدِ ٱلْعَتِيدِ أَنْ يُعْلَنَ، | ١ 1 |
As a fellow elder, a witness of Christ’s sufferings, and a partaker of the glory to be revealed, I appeal to the elders among you:
| ٱرْعَوْا رَعِيَّةَ ٱللهِ ٱلَّتِي بَيْنَكُمْ نُظَّارًا، لَا عَنِ ٱضْطِرَارٍ بَلْ بِٱلِٱخْتِيَارِ، وَلَا لِرِبْحٍ قَبِيحٍ بَلْ بِنَشَاطٍ، | ٢ 2 |
Be shepherds of God’s flock that is among you, watching over them not out of compulsion, but because it is God’s will; not out of greed, but out of eagerness;
| وَلَا كَمَنْ يَسُودُ عَلَى ٱلْأَنْصِبَةِ، بَلْ صَائِرِينَ أَمْثِلَةً لِلرَّعِيَّةِ. | ٣ 3 |
not lording it over those entrusted to you, but being examples to the flock.
| وَمَتَى ظَهَرَ رَئِيسُ ٱلرُّعَاةِ تَنَالُونَ إِكْلِيلَ ٱلْمَجْدِ ٱلَّذِي لَا يَبْلَى. | ٤ 4 |
And when the Chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the crown of glory that will never fade away.
| كَذَلِكَ أَيُّهَا ٱلْأَحْدَاثُ، ٱخْضَعُوا لِلشُّيُوخِ، وَكُونُوا جَمِيعًا خَاضِعِينَ بَعْضُكُمْ لِبَعْضٍ، وَتَسَرْبَلُوا بِٱلتَّوَاضُعِ، لِأَنَّ: «ٱللهَ يُقَاوِمُ ٱلْمُسْتَكْبِرِينَ، وَأَمَّا ٱلْمُتَوَاضِعُونَ فَيُعْطِيهِمْ نِعْمَةً». | ٥ 5 |
Young men, in the same way, submit yourselves to your elders. And all of you, clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, because, “God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble.”
| فَتَوَاضَعُوا تَحْتَ يَدِ ٱللهِ ٱلْقَوِيَّةِ لِكَيْ يَرْفَعَكُمْ فِي حِينِهِ، | ٦ 6 |
Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, so that in due time He may exalt you.
| مُلْقِينَ كُلَّ هَمِّكُمْ عَلَيْهِ، لِأَنَّهُ هُوَ يَعْتَنِي بِكُمْ. | ٧ 7 |
Cast all your anxiety on Him, because He cares for you.
| اُصْحُوا وَٱسْهَرُوا. لِأَنَّ إِبْلِيسَ خَصْمَكُمْ كَأَسَدٍ زَائِرٍ، يَجُولُ مُلْتَمِسًا مَنْ يَبْتَلِعُهُ هُوَ. | ٨ 8 |
Be sober-minded and alert. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.
| فَقَاوِمُوهُ، رَاسِخِينَ فِي ٱلْإِيمَانِ، عَالِمِينَ أَنَّ نَفْسَ هَذِهِ ٱلْآلَامِ تُجْرَى عَلَى إِخْوَتِكُمُ ٱلَّذِينَ فِي ٱلْعَالَمِ. | ٩ 9 |
Resist him, standing firm in your faith and in the knowledge that your brothers throughout the world are undergoing the same kinds of suffering.
| وَإِلَهُ كُلِّ نِعْمَةٍ ٱلَّذِي دَعَانَا إِلَى مَجْدِهِ ٱلْأَبَدِيِّ فِي ٱلْمَسِيحِ يَسُوعَ، بَعْدَمَا تَأَلَّمْتُمْ يَسِيرًا، هُوَ يُكَمِّلُكُمْ، وَيُثَبِّتُكُمْ، وَيُقَوِّيكُمْ، وَيُمَكِّنُكُمْ. (aiōnios g166) | ١٠ 10 |
And after you have suffered for a little while, the God of all grace, who has called you to His eternal glory in Christ, will Himself restore you, secure you, strengthen you, and establish you. (aiōnios g166)
| لَهُ ٱلْمَجْدُ وَٱلسُّلْطَانُ إِلَى أَبَدِ ٱلْآبِدِينَ. آمِينَ. (aiōn g165) | ١١ 11 |
To Him be the power forever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
| بِيَدِ سِلْوَانُسَ ٱلْأَخِ ٱلْأَمِينِ-كَمَا أَظُنُّ- كَتَبْتُ إِلَيْكُمْ بِكَلِمَاتٍ قَلِيلَةٍ وَاعِظًا وَشَاهِدًا، أَنَّ هَذِهِ هِيَ نِعْمَةُ ٱللهِ ٱلْحَقِيقِيَّةُ ٱلَّتِي فِيهَا تَقُومُونَ. | ١٢ 12 |
Through Silvanus, whom I regard as a faithful brother, I have written to you briefly, encouraging you and testifying that this is the true grace of God. Stand firm in it.
| تُسَلِّمُ عَلَيْكُمُ ٱلَّتِي فِي بَابِلَ ٱلْمُخْتَارَةُ مَعَكُمْ، وَمَرْقُسُ ٱبْنِي. | ١٣ 13 |
The church in Babylon, chosen together with you, sends you greetings, as does my son Mark.
| سَلِّمُوا بَعْضُكُمْ عَلَى بَعْضٍ بِقُبْلَةِ ٱلْمَحَبَّةِ. سَلَامٌ لَكُمْ جَمِيعِكُمُ ٱلَّذِينَ فِي ٱلْمَسِيحِ يَسُوعَ. آمِينَ. | ١٤ 14 |
Greet one another with a kiss of love. Peace to all of you who are in Christ.
