< ١ بطرس 1 >

بُطْرُسُ، رَسُولُ يَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ، إِلَى ٱلْمُتَغَرِّبِينَ مِنْ شَتَاتِ بُنْتُسَ وَغَلَاطِيَّةَ وَكَبَّدُوكِيَّةَ وَأَسِيَّا وَبِيثِينِيَّةَ، ٱلْمُخْتَارِينَ ١ 1
Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, To the elect who are exiles of the Dispersion throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia, chosen
بِمُقْتَضَى عِلْمِ ٱللهِ ٱلْآبِ ٱلسَّابِقِ، فِي تَقْدِيسِ ٱلرُّوحِ لِلطَّاعَةِ، وَرَشِّ دَمِ يَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ: لِتُكْثَرْ لَكُمُ ٱلنِّعْمَةُ وَٱلسَّلَامُ. ٢ 2
according to the foreknowledge of God the Father and sanctified by the Spirit for obedience to Jesus Christ and sprinkling by His blood: Grace and peace be yours in abundance.
مُبَارَكٌ ٱللهُ أَبُو رَبِّنَا يَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ، ٱلَّذِي حَسَبَ رَحْمَتِهِ ٱلْكَثِيرَةِ وَلَدَنَا ثَانِيَةً لِرَجَاءٍ حَيٍّ، بِقِيَامَةِ يَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ مِنَ ٱلْأَمْوَاتِ، ٣ 3
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! By His great mercy He has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
لِمِيرَاثٍ لَا يَفْنَى وَلَا يَتَدَنَّسُ وَلَا يَضْمَحِلُّ، مَحْفُوظٌ فِي ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ لِأَجْلِكُمْ، ٤ 4
and into an inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading, reserved in heaven for you,
أَنْتُمُ ٱلَّذِينَ بِقُوَّةِ ٱللهِ مَحْرُوسُونَ، بِإِيمَانٍ، لِخَلَاصٍ مُسْتَعَدٍّ أَنْ يُعْلَنَ فِي ٱلزَّمَانِ ٱلْأَخِيرِ. ٥ 5
who through faith are shielded by God’s power for the salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last time.
ٱلَّذِي بِهِ تَبْتَهِجُونَ، مَعَ أَنَّكُمُ ٱلْآنَ - إِنْ كَانَ يَجِبُ - تُحْزَنُونَ يَسِيرًا بِتَجَارِبَ مُتَنَوِّعَةٍ، ٦ 6
In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in various trials
لِكَيْ تَكُونَ تَزْكِيَةُ إِيمَانِكُمْ، وَهِيَ أَثْمَنُ مِنَ ٱلذَّهَبِ ٱلْفَانِي، مَعَ أَنَّهُ يُمْتَحَنُ بِٱلنَّارِ، تُوجَدُ لِلْمَدْحِ وَٱلْكَرَامَةِ وَٱلْمَجْدِ عِنْدَ ٱسْتِعْلَانِ يَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ، ٧ 7
so that the proven character of your faith—more precious than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire—may result in praise, glory, and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ.
ٱلَّذِي وَإِنْ لَمْ تَرَوْهُ تُحِبُّونَهُ. ذَلِكَ وَإِنْ كُنْتُمْ لَا تَرَوْنَهُ ٱلْآنَ لَكِنْ تُؤْمِنُونَ بِهِ، فَتَبْتَهِجُونَ بِفَرَحٍ لَا يُنْطَقُ بِهِ وَمَجِيدٍ، ٨ 8
Though you have not seen Him, you love Him; and though you do not see Him now, you believe in Him and rejoice with an inexpressible and glorious joy,
نَائِلِينَ غَايَةَ إِيمَانِكُمْ خَلَاصَ ٱلنُّفُوسِ. ٩ 9
now that you are receiving the goal of your faith, the salvation of your souls.
ٱلْخَلَاصَ ٱلَّذِي فَتَّشَ وَبَحَثَ عَنْهُ أَنْبِيَاءُ، ٱلَّذِينَ تَنَبَّأُوا عَنِ ٱلنِّعْمَةِ ٱلَّتِي لِأَجْلِكُمْ، ١٠ 10
Concerning this salvation, the prophets who foretold the grace to come to you searched and investigated carefully,
بَاحِثِينَ أَيُّ وَقْتٍ أَوْ مَا ٱلْوَقْتُ ٱلَّذِي كَانَ يَدِلُّ عَلَيْهِ رُوحُ ٱلْمَسِيحِ ٱلَّذِي فِيهِمْ، إِذْ سَبَقَ فَشَهِدَ بِٱلْآلَامِ ٱلَّتِي لِلْمَسِيحِ، وَٱلْأَمْجَادِ ٱلَّتِي بَعْدَهَا. ١١ 11
trying to determine the time and setting to which the Spirit of Christ in them was pointing when He predicted the sufferings of Christ and the glories to follow.
ٱلَّذِينَ أُعْلِنَ لَهُمْ أَنَّهُمْ لَيْسَ لِأَنْفُسِهِمْ، بَلْ لَنَا كَانُوا يَخْدِمُونَ بِهَذِهِ ٱلْأُمُورِ ٱلَّتِي أُخْبِرْتُمْ بِهَا أَنْتُمُ ٱلْآنَ، بِوَاسِطَةِ ٱلَّذِينَ بَشَّرُوكُمْ فِي ٱلرُّوحِ ٱلْقُدُسِ ٱلْمُرْسَلِ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَاءِ. ٱلَّتِي تَشْتَهِي ٱلْمَلَائِكَةُ أَنْ تَطَّلِعَ عَلَيْهَا. ١٢ 12
It was revealed to them that they were not serving themselves, but you, when they foretold the things now announced by those who preached the gospel to you by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven. Even angels long to look into these things.
لِذَلِكَ مَنْطِقُوا أَحْقَاءَ ذِهْنِكُمْ صَاحِينَ، فَأَلْقُوا رَجَاءَكُمْ بِٱلتَّمَامِ عَلَى ٱلنِّعْمَةِ ٱلَّتِي يُؤْتَى بِهَا إِلَيْكُمْ عِنْدَ ٱسْتِعْلَانِ يَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ. ١٣ 13
Therefore prepare your minds for action. Be sober-minded. Set your hope fully on the grace to be given you at the revelation of Jesus Christ.
كَأَوْلَادِ ٱلطَّاعَةِ، لَا تُشَاكِلُوا شَهَوَاتِكُمُ ٱلسَّابِقَةَ فِي جَهَالَتِكُمْ، ١٤ 14
As obedient children, do not conform to the passions of your former ignorance.
بَلْ نَظِيرَ ٱلْقُدُّوسِ ٱلَّذِي دَعَاكُمْ، كُونُوا أَنْتُمْ أَيْضًا قِدِّيسِينَ فِي كُلِّ سِيرَةٍ. ١٥ 15
But just as He who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do,
لِأَنَّهُ مَكْتُوبٌ: «كُونُوا قِدِّيسِينَ لِأَنِّي أَنَا قُدُّوسٌ». ١٦ 16
for it is written: “Be holy, because I am holy.”
وَإِنْ كُنْتُمْ تَدْعُونَ أَبًا ٱلَّذِي يَحْكُمُ بِغَيْرِ مُحَابَاةٍ حَسَبَ عَمَلِ كُلِّ وَاحِدٍ، فَسِيرُوا زَمَانَ غُرْبَتِكُمْ بِخَوْفٍ، ١٧ 17
Since you call on a Father who judges each one’s work impartially, conduct yourselves in reverent fear during your stay as foreigners.
عَالِمِينَ أَنَّكُمُ ٱفْتُدِيتُمْ لَا بِأَشْيَاءَ تَفْنَى، بِفِضَّةٍ أَوْ ذَهَبٍ، مِنْ سِيرَتِكُمُ ٱلْبَاطِلَةِ ٱلَّتِي تَقَلَّدْتُمُوهَا مِنَ ٱلْآبَاءِ، ١٨ 18
For you know that it was not with perishable things such as silver or gold that you were redeemed from the empty way of life you inherited from your forefathers,
بَلْ بِدَمٍ كَرِيمٍ، كَمَا مِنْ حَمَلٍ بِلَا عَيْبٍ وَلَا دَنَسٍ، دَمِ ٱلْمَسِيحِ، ١٩ 19
but with the precious blood of Christ, a lamb without blemish or spot.
مَعْرُوفًا سَابِقًا قَبْلَ تَأْسِيسِ ٱلْعَالَمِ، وَلَكِنْ قَدْ أُظْهِرَ فِي ٱلْأَزْمِنَةِ ٱلْأَخِيرَةِ مِنْ أَجْلِكُمْ، ٢٠ 20
He was known before the foundation of the world, but was revealed in the last times for your sake.
أَنْتُمُ ٱلَّذِينَ بِهِ تُؤْمِنُونَ بِٱللهِ ٱلَّذِي أَقَامَهُ مِنَ ٱلْأَمْوَاتِ وَأَعْطَاهُ مَجْدًا، حَتَّى إِنَّ إِيمَانَكُمْ وَرَجَاءَكُمْ هُمَا فِي ٱللهِ. ٢١ 21
Through Him you believe in God, who raised Him from the dead and glorified Him; and so your faith and hope are in God.
طَهِّرُوا نُفُوسَكُمْ فِي طَاعَةِ ٱلْحَقِّ بِٱلرُّوحِ لِلْمَحَبَّةِ ٱلْأَخَوِيَّةِ ٱلْعَدِيمَةِ ٱلرِّيَاءِ، فَأَحِبُّوا بَعْضُكُمْ بَعْضًا مِنْ قَلْبٍ طَاهِرٍ بِشِدَّةٍ. ٢٢ 22
Since you have purified your souls by obedience to the truth so that you have a genuine love for your brothers, love one another deeply, from a pure heart.
مَوْلُودِينَ ثَانِيَةً، لَا مِنْ زَرْعٍ يَفْنَى، بَلْ مِمَّا لَا يَفْنَى، بِكَلِمَةِ ٱللهِ ٱلْحَيَّةِ ٱلْبَاقِيَةِ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ. (aiōn g165) ٢٣ 23
For you have been born again, not of perishable seed, but of imperishable, through the living and enduring word of God. (aiōn g165)
لِأَنَّ: «كُلَّ جَسَدٍ كَعُشْبٍ، وَكُلَّ مَجْدِ إِنْسَانٍ كَزَهْرِ عُشْبٍ. ٱلْعُشْبُ يَبِسَ وَزَهْرُهُ سَقَطَ، ٢٤ 24
For, “All flesh is like grass, and all its glory like the flowers of the field; the grass withers and the flowers fall,
وَأَمَّا كَلِمَةُ ٱلرَّبِّ فَتَثْبُتُ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ». وَهَذِهِ هِيَ ٱلْكَلِمَةُ ٱلَّتِي بُشِّرْتُمْ بِهَا. (aiōn g165) ٢٥ 25
but the word of the Lord stands forever.” And this is the word that was proclaimed to you. (aiōn g165)
