١ تسالونيكي 5

١ 1 وَأَمَّا ٱلْأَزْمِنَةُ وَٱلْأَوْقَاتُ فَلَا حَاجَةَ لَكُمْ أَيُّهَا ٱلْإِخْوَةُ أَنْ أَكْتُبَ إِلَيْكُمْ عَنْهَا،

But concerning the times and seasons, my brethren, ye need not that I write to you:

٢ 2 لِأَنَّكُمْ أَنْتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ بِٱلتَّحْقِيقِ أَنَّ يَوْمَ ٱلرَّبِّ كَلِصٍّ فِي ٱللَّيْلِ هَكَذَا يَجِيءُ.

for ye know assuredly, that the day of our Lord so cometh, as a thief by night.

٣ 3 لِأَنَّهُ حِينَمَا يَقُولُونَ: «سَلَامٌ وَأَمَانٌ»، حِينَئِذٍ يُفَاجِئُهُمْ هَلَاكٌ بَغْتَةً، كَٱلْمَخَاضِ لِلْحُبْلَى، فَلَا يَنْجُونَ.

While they will be saying, Peace and quietness, then suddenly destruction will burst upon them, as distress upon a child-bearer, and they will not escape.

٤ 4 وَأَمَّا أَنْتُمْ أَيُّهَا ٱلْإِخْوَةُ فَلَسْتُمْ فِي ظُلْمَةٍ حَتَّى يُدْرِكَكُمْ ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمُ كَلِصٍّ.

But ye, my brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.

٥ 5 جَمِيعُكُمْ أَبْنَاءُ نُورٍ وَأَبْنَاءُ نَهَارٍ. لَسْنَا مِنْ لَيْلٍ وَلَا ظُلْمَةٍ.

For ye are all children of the light, and children of the day; and are not children of the night, and children of darkness.

٦ 6 فَلَا نَنَمْ إِذًا كَٱلْبَاقِينَ، بَلْ لِنَسْهَرْ وَنَصْحُ.

Let us not therefore sleep, like others; but let us be vigilant and considerate.

٧ 7 لِأَنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ يَنَامُونَ فَبِاللَّيْلِ يَنَامُونَ، وَٱلَّذِينَ يَسْكَرُونَ فَبِاللَّيْلِ يَسْكَرُونَ.

For they who sleep, sleep in the night; and they who are drunken, are drunken in the night.

٨ 8 وَأَمَّا نَحْنُ ٱلَّذِينَ مِنْ نَهَارٍ، فَلْنَصْحُ لَابِسِينَ دِرْعَ ٱلْإِيمَانِ وَٱلْمَحَبَّةِ، وَخُوذَةً هِيَ رَجَاءُ ٱلْخَلَاصِ.

But let us who are children of the day, be wakeful in mind, and put on the breastplate of faith and love, and take the helmet of the hope of life.

٩ 9 لِأَنَّ ٱللهَ لَمْ يَجْعَلْنَا لِلْغَضَبِ، بَلْ لِٱقْتِنَاءِ ٱلْخَلَاصِ بِرَبِّنَا يَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ،

For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to the acquisition of life, by our Lord Jesus the Messiah:

١٠ 10 ٱلَّذِي مَاتَ لِأَجْلِنَا، حَتَّى إِذَا سَهِرْنَا أَوْ نِمْنَا نَحْيَا جَمِيعًا مَعَهُ.

who died for us, that whether we wake or sleep, we might live together with him.

١١ 11 لِذَلِكَ عَزُّوا بَعْضُكُمْ بَعْضًا وَٱبْنُوا أَحَدُكُمُ ٱلْآخَرَ، كَمَا تَفْعَلُونَ أَيْضًا.

Therefore comfort one another, and edify one another, as also ye have done.

١٢ 12 ثُمَّ نَسْأَلُكُمْ أَيُّهَا ٱلْإِخْوَةُ أَنْ تَعْرِفُوا ٱلَّذِينَ يَتْعَبُونَ بَيْنَكُمْ وَيُدَبِّرُونَكُمْ فِي ٱلرَّبِّ وَيُنْذِرُونَكُمْ،

And we entreat you, my brethren, that ye recognize them who labor among you, and who stand before your faces in our Lord, and instruct you:

١٣ 13 وَأَنْ تَعْتَبِرُوهُمْ كَثِيرًا جِدًّا فِي ٱلْمَحَبَّةِ مِنْ أَجْلِ عَمَلِهِمْ. سَالِمُوا بَعْضُكُمْ بَعْضًا.

that they may be esteemed by you with abundant love; and, on account of their work, live ye in harmony with them.

١٤ 14 وَنَطْلُبُ إِلَيْكُمْ أَيُّهَا ٱلْإِخْوَةُ: أَنْذِرُوا ٱلَّذِينَ بِلَا تَرْتِيبٍ. شَجِّعُوا صِغَارَ ٱلنُّفُوسِ. أَسْنِدُوا ٱلضُّعَفَاءَ. تَأَنَّوْا عَلَى ٱلْجَمِيعِ.

And we entreat you, my brethren, that ye admonish the faulty, and encourage the faint-hearted, and bear the burdens of the weak, and be long suffering towards all men.

١٥ 15 ٱنْظُرُوا أَنْ لَا يُجَازِيَ أَحَدٌ أَحَدًا عَنْ شَرٍّ بِشَرٍّ، بَلْ كُلَّ حِينٍ ٱتَّبِعُوا ٱلْخَيْرَ بَعْضُكُمْ لِبَعْضٍ وَلِلْجَمِيعِ.

And beware, lest any of you return evil for evil, but always follow good deeds, towards one another, and towards all men.

١٦ 16 ٱفْرَحُوا كُلَّ حِينٍ.

And be joyful always.

١٧ 17 صَلُّوا بِلَا ٱنْقِطَاعٍ.

And pray without ceasing.

١٨ 18 ٱشْكُرُوا فِي كُلِّ شَيْءٍ، لِأَنَّ هَذِهِ هِيَ مَشِيئَةُ ٱللهِ فِي ٱلْمَسِيحِ يَسُوعَ مِنْ جِهَتِكُمْ.

And in every thing be thankful: For this is the pleasure of God in Jesus the Messiah, concerning you.

١٩ 19 لَا تُطْفِئُوا ٱلرُّوحَ.

Quench not the Spirit.

٢٠ 20 لَا تَحْتَقِرُوا ٱلنُّبُوَّاتِ.

Despise not prophesying.

٢١ 21 ٱمْتَحِنُوا كُلَّ شَيْءٍ، تَمَسَّكُوا بِٱلْحَسَنِ.

Explore every thing, and hold fast the good:

٢٢ 22 ٱمْتَنِعُوا عَنْ كُلِّ شِبْهِ شَرٍّ.

and fly from every thing evil.

٢٣ 23 وَإِلَهُ ٱلسَّلَامِ نَفْسُهُ يُقَدِّسُكُمْ بِٱلتَّمَامِ. وَلْتُحْفَظْ رُوحُكُمْ وَنَفْسُكُمْ وَجَسَدُكُمْ كَامِلَةً بِلَا لَوْمٍ عِنْدَ مَجِيءِ رَبِّنَا يَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ.

And may the God of peace sanctify you all, perfectly, and keep blameless your whole spirit, and your soul, and your body, till the coming of our Lord Jesus the Messiah.

٢٤ 24 أَمِينٌ هُوَ ٱلَّذِي يَدْعُوكُمُ ٱلَّذِي سَيَفْعَلُ أَيْضًا.

Faithful is he that hath called you, who will do it.

٢٥ 25 أَيُّهَا ٱلْإِخْوَةُ، صَلُّوا لِأَجْلِنَا.

My brethren, pray for us.

٢٦ 26 سَلِّمُوا عَلَى ٱلْإِخْوَةِ جَمِيعًا بِقُبْلَةٍ مُقَدَّسَةٍ.

Salute all our brethren with a holy kiss.

٢٧ 27 أُنَاشِدُكُمْ بِٱلرَّبِّ أَنْ تُقْرَأَ هَذِهِ ٱلرِّسَالَةُ عَلَى جَمِيعِ ٱلْإِخْوَةِ ٱلْقِدِّيسِينَ.

I conjure you by our Lord, that this epistle be read to all the holy brethren.

٢٨ 28 نِعْمَةُ رَبِّنَا يَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ مَعَكُمْ. آمِينَ.

The grace of our Lord Jesus the Messiah be with you. Amen.
