١ تيموثاوس 4

١ 1 وَلَكِنَّ ٱلرُّوحَ يَقُولُ صَرِيحًا: إِنَّهُ فِي ٱلْأَزْمِنَةِ ٱلْأَخِيرَةِ يَرْتَدُّ قَوْمٌ عَنِ ٱلْإِيمَانِ، تَابِعِينَ أَرْوَاحًا مُضِلَّةً وَتَعَالِيمَ شَيَاطِينَ،

Now the Spirit saith expressly, that in the latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits and teachings of demons,

٢ 2 فِي رِيَاءِ أَقْوَالٍ كَاذِبَةٍ، مَوْسُومَةً ضَمَائِرُهُمْ،

through the hypocrisy of speakers of lies, who bear a brand on their own conscience,

٣ 3 مَانِعِينَ عَنِ ٱلزِّوَاجِ، وَآمِرِينَ أَنْ يُمْتَنَعَ عَنْ أَطْعِمَةٍ قَدْ خَلَقَهَا ٱللهُ لِتُتَنَاوَلَ بِٱلشُّكْرِ مِنَ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَعَارِفِي ٱلْحَقِّ.

forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from food which God created to be received with thanksgiving, for those who believe and know the truth.

٤ 4 لِأَنَّ كُلَّ خَلِيقَةِ ٱللهِ جَيِّدَةٌ، وَلَا يُرْفَضُ شَيْءٌ إِذَا أُخِذَ مَعَ ٱلشُّكْرِ،

For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving;

٥ 5 لِأَنَّهُ يُقَدَّسُ بِكَلِمَةِ ٱللهِ وَٱلصَّلَاةِ.

for it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer.

٦ 6 إِنْ فَكَّرْتَ ٱلْإِخْوَةَ بِهَذَا، تَكُونُ خَادِمًا صَالِحًا لِيَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ، مُتَرَبِّيًا بِكَلَامِ ٱلْإِيمَانِ وَٱلتَّعْلِيمِ ٱلْحَسَنِ ٱلَّذِي تَتَبَّعْتَهُ.

If thou lay these things before the brethren, thou wilt be a good minister of Christ Jesus, nourished in the words of the faith, and of the good teaching, with which thou art well acquainted.

٧ 7 وَأَمَّا ٱلْخُرَافَاتُ ٱلدَّنِسَةُ ٱلْعَجَائِزِيَّةُ فَٱرْفُضْهَا، وَرَوِّضْ نَفْسَكَ لِلتَّقْوَى.

But avoid the profane and old wives' fables; and exercise thyself unto godliness.

٨ 8 لِأَنَّ ٱلرِّيَاضَةَ ٱلْجَسَدِيَّةَ نَافِعَةٌ لِقَلِيلٍ، وَلَكِنَّ ٱلتَّقْوَى نَافِعَةٌ لِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ، إِذْ لَهَا مَوْعِدُ ٱلْحَيَاةِ ٱلْحَاضِرَةِ وَٱلْعَتِيدَةِ،

For bodily exercise is profitable for little; but godliness is profitable for all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.

٩ 9 صَادِقَةٌ هِيَ ٱلْكَلِمَةُ وَمُسْتَحِقَّةٌ كُلَّ قُبُولٍ.

True is the saying, and worthy of all acceptance.

١٠ 10 لِأَنَّنَا لِهَذَا نَتْعَبُ وَنُعَيَّرُ، لِأَنَّنَا قَدْ أَلْقَيْنَا رَجَاءَنَا عَلَى ٱللهِ ٱلْحَيِّ، ٱلَّذِي هُوَ مُخَلِّصُ جَمِيعِ ٱلنَّاسِ، وَلَا سِيَّمَا ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ.

For to this end we both labor and suffer reproach, because we have placed our hope in the living God, who is the Saviour of all men, especially of believers.

١١ 11 أَوْصِ بِهَذَا وَعَلِّمْ.

These things command and teach.

١٢ 12 لَا يَسْتَهِنْ أَحَدٌ بِحَدَاثَتِكَ، بَلْ كُنْ قُدْوَةً لِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ: فِي ٱلْكَلَامِ، فِي ٱلتَّصَرُّفِ، فِي ٱلْمَحَبَّةِ، فِي ٱلرُّوحِ، فِي ٱلْإِيمَانِ، فِي ٱلطَّهَارَةِ.

Let no one despise thy youth, but become an example to the believers, in word, in behavior, in love, in faith, in purity.

١٣ 13 إِلَى أَنْ أَجِيءَ ٱعْكُفْ عَلَى ٱلْقِرَاءَةِ وَٱلْوَعْظِ وَٱلتَّعْلِيمِ.

Till I come, give attention to reading, to exhortation, to teaching.

١٤ 14 لَا تُهْمِلِ ٱلْمَوْهِبَةَ ٱلَّتِي فِيكَ، ٱلْمُعْطَاةَ لَكَ بِٱلنُّبُوَّةِ مَعَ وَضْعِ أَيْدِي ٱلْمَشْيَخَةِ.

Neglect not the gift that is in thee, which was given thee by prophecy, with the laying on of the hands of the presbytery.

١٥ 15 ٱهْتَمَّ بِهَذَا. كُنْ فِيهِ، لِكَيْ يَكُونَ تَقَدُّمُكَ ظَاهِرًا فِي كُلِّ شَيْءٍ.

Meditate on these things, give thyself wholly to them; that thy progress may be manifest to all.

١٦ 16 لَاحِظْ نَفْسَكَ وَٱلتَّعْلِيمَ وَدَاوِمْ عَلَى ذَلِكَ، لِأَنَّكَ إِذَا فَعَلْتَ هَذَا، تُخَلِّصُ نَفْسَكَ وَٱلَّذِينَ يَسْمَعُونَكَ أَيْضًا.

Give heed to thyself, and to thy teaching; continue in them; for in doing this thou wilt save both thyself and them that hear thee.
