١ تيموثاوس 5

١ 1 لَا تَزْجُرْ شَيْخًا بَلْ عِظْهُ كَأَبٍ، وَٱلْأَحْدَاثَ كَإِخْوَةٍ،

Rebuke not an elder, but exhort him as a father; the younger men as brethren:

٢ 2 وَٱلْعَجَائِزَ كَأُمَّهَاتٍ، وَٱلْحَدَثَاتِ كَأَخَوَاتٍ، بِكُلِّ طَهَارَةٍ.

the elder women as mothers; the younger as sisters, in all purity.

٣ 3 أَكْرِمِ ٱلْأَرَامِلَ ٱللَّوَاتِي هُنَّ بِٱلْحَقِيقَةِ أَرَامِلُ.

Honor widows that are widows indeed.

٤ 4 وَلَكِنْ إِنْ كَانَتْ أَرْمَلَةٌ لَهَا أَوْلَادٌ أَوْ حَفَدَةٌ، فَلْيَتَعَلَّمُوا أَوَّلًا أَنْ يُوَقِّرُوا أَهْلَ بَيْتِهِمْ وَيُوفُوا وَالِدِيهِمِ ٱلْمُكَافَأَةَ، لِأَنَّ هَذَا صَالِحٌ وَمَقْبُولٌ أَمَامَ ٱللهِ.

But if any widow hath children or grandchildren, let them learn first to show piety towards their own family, and to requite their parents: for this is acceptable in the sight of God.

٥ 5 وَلَكِنَّ ٱلَّتِي هِيَ بِٱلْحَقِيقَةِ أَرْمَلَةٌ وَوَحِيدَةٌ، فَقَدْ أَلْقَتْ رَجَاءَهَا عَلَى ٱللهِ، وَهِيَ تُواظِبُ ٱلطِّلِبَاتِ وَٱلصَّلَوَاتِ لَيْلًا وَنَهَارًا.

Now she that is a widow indeed, and desolate, hath her hope set on God, and continueth in supplications and prayers night and day.

٦ 6 وَأَمَّا ٱلْمُتَنَعِّمَةُ فَقَدْ مَاتَتْ وَهِيَ حَيَّةٌ.

But she that giveth herself to pleasure is dead while she liveth.

٧ 7 فَأَوْصِ بِهَذَا لِكَيْ يَكُنَّ بِلَا لَوْمٍ.

These things also command, that they may be without reproach.

٨ 8 وَإِنْ كَانَ أَحَدٌ لَا يَعْتَنِي بِخَاصَّتِهِ، وَلَا سِيَّمَا أَهْلُ بَيْتِهِ، فَقَدْ أَنْكَرَ ٱلْإِيمَانَ، وَهُوَ شَرٌّ مِنْ غَيْرِ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِ.

But if any provideth not for his own, and specially his own household, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an unbeliever.

٩ 9 لِتُكْتَتَبْ أَرْمَلَةٌ، إِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ عُمْرُهَا أَقَلَّ مِنْ سِتِّينَ سَنَةً، ٱمْرَأَةَ رَجُلٍ وَاحِدٍ،

Let none be enrolled as a widow under threescore years old, [having been] the wife of one man,

١٠ 10 مَشْهُودًا لَهَا فِي أَعْمَالٍ صَالِحَةٍ، إِنْ تَكُنْ قَدْ رَبَّتِ ٱلْأَوْلَادَ، أَضَافَتِ ٱلْغُرَبَاءَ، غَسَّلَتْ أَرْجُلَ ٱلْقِدِّيسِينَ، سَاعَدَتِ ٱلْمُتَضَايِقِينَ، ٱتَّبَعَتْ كُلَّ عَمَلٍ صَالِحٍ.

well reported of for good works; if she hath brought up children, if she hath used hospitality to strangers, if she hath washed the saints’ feet, if she hath relieved the afflicted, if she hath diligently followed every good work.

١١ 11 أَمَّا ٱلْأَرَامِلُ ٱلْحَدَثَاتُ فَٱرْفُضْهُنَّ، لِأَنَّهُنَّ مَتَى بَطِرْنَ عَلَى ٱلْمَسِيحِ، يُرِدْنَ أَنْ يَتَزَوَّجْنَ،

But younger widows refuse: for when they have waxed wanton against Christ, they desire to marry;

١٢ 12 وَلَهُنَّ دَيْنُونَةٌ لِأَنَّهُنَّ رَفَضْنَ ٱلْإِيمَانَ ٱلْأَوَّلَ.

having condemnation, because they have rejected their first pledge.

١٣ 13 وَمَعَ ذَلِكَ أَيْضًا يَتَعَلَّمْنَ أَنْ يَكُنَّ بَطَّالَاتٍ، يَطُفْنَ فِي ٱلْبُيُوتِ. وَلَسْنَ بَطَّالَاتٍ فَقَطْ بَلْ مِهْذَارَاتٌ أَيْضًا، وَفُضُولِيَّاتٌ، يَتَكَلَّمْنَ بِمَا لَا يَجِبُ.

And withal they learn also [to be] idle, going about from house to house; and not only idle, but tattlers also and busybodies, speaking things which they ought not.

١٤ 14 فَأُرِيدُ أَنَّ ٱلْحَدَثَاتِ يَتَزَوَّجْنَ وَيَلِدْنَ ٱلْأَوْلَادَ وَيُدَبِّرْنَ ٱلْبُيُوتَ، وَلَا يُعْطِينَ عِلَّةً لِلْمُقَاوِمِ مِنْ أَجْلِ ٱلشَّتْمِ.

I desire therefore that the younger [widows] marry, bear children, rule the household, give no occasion to the adversary for reviling:

١٥ 15 فَإِنَّ بَعْضَهُنَّ قَدِ ٱنْحَرَفْنَ وَرَاءَ ٱلشَّيْطَانِ.

for already some are turned aside after Satan.

١٦ 16 إِنْ كَانَ لِمُؤْمِنٍ أَوْ مُؤْمِنَةٍ أَرَامِلُ، فَلْيُسَاعِدْهُنَّ وَلَا يُثَقَّلْ عَلَى ٱلْكَنِيسَةِ، لِكَيْ تُسَاعِدَ هِيَ ٱللَّوَاتِي هُنَّ بِٱلْحَقِيقَةِ أَرَامِلُ.

If any woman that believeth hath widows, let her relieve them, and let not the church be burdened; that it may relieve them that are widows indeed.

١٧ 17 أَمَّا ٱلشُّيُوخُ ٱلْمُدَبِّرُونَ حَسَنًا فَلْيُحْسَبُوا أَهْلًا لِكَرَامَةٍ مُضَاعَفَةٍ، وَلَا سِيَّمَا ٱلَّذِينَ يَتْعَبُونَ فِي ٱلْكَلِمَةِ وَٱلتَّعْلِيمِ،

Let the elders that rule well be counted worthy of double honor, especially those who labor in the word and in teaching.

١٨ 18 لِأَنَّ ٱلْكِتَابَ يَقُولُ: «لَا تَكُمَّ ثَوْرًا دَارِسًا»، وَ«ٱلْفَاعِلُ مُسْتَحِقٌّ أُجْرَتَهُ».

For the scripture saith, Thou shalt not muzzle the ox when he treadeth out the corn. And, The laborer is worthy of his hire.

١٩ 19 لَا تَقْبَلْ شِكَايَةً عَلَى شَيْخٍ إِلَّا عَلَى شَاهِدَيْنِ أَوْ ثَلَاثَةِ شُهُودٍ.

Against an elder receive not an accusation, except at [the mouth of] two or three witnesses.

٢٠ 20 اَلَّذِينَ يُخْطِئُونَ وَبِّخْهُمْ أَمَامَ ٱلْجَمِيعِ، لِكَيْ يَكُونَ عِنْدَ ٱلْبَاقِينَ خَوْفٌ.

Them that sin reprove in the sight of all, that the rest also may be in fear.

٢١ 21 أُنَاشِدُكَ أَمَامَ ٱللهِ وَٱلرَّبِّ يَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ وَٱلْمَلَائِكَةِ ٱلْمُخْتَارِينَ، أَنْ تَحْفَظَ هَذَا بِدُونِ غَرَضٍ، وَلَا تَعْمَلَ شَيْئًا بِمُحَابَاةٍ.

I charge [thee] in the sight of God, and Christ Jesus, and the elect angels, that thou observe these things without prejudice, doing nothing by partiality.

٢٢ 22 لَا تَضَعْ يَدًا عَلَى أَحَدٍ بِٱلْعَجَلَةِ، وَلَا تَشْتَرِكْ فِي خَطَايَا ٱلْآخَرِينَ. اِحْفَظْ نَفْسَكَ طَاهِرًا.

Lay hands hastily on no man, neither be partaker of other men’s sins: keep thyself pure.

٢٣ 23 لَا تَكُنْ فِي مَا بَعْدُ شَرَّابَ مَاءٍ، بَلِ ٱسْتَعْمِلْ خَمْرًا قَلِيلًا مِنْ أَجْلِ مَعِدَتِكَ وَأَسْقَامِكَ ٱلْكَثِيرَةِ.

Be no longer a drinker of water, but use a little wine for thy stomach’s sake and thine often infirmities.

٢٤ 24 خَطَايَا بَعْضِ ٱلنَّاسِ وَاضِحَةٌ تَتَقَدَّمُ إِلَى ٱلْقَضَاءِ، وَأَمَّا ٱلْبَعْضُ فَتَتْبَعُهُمْ.

Some men’s sins are evident, going before unto judgment; and some men also they follow after.

٢٥ 25 كَذَلِكَ أَيْضًا ٱلْأَعْمَالُ ٱلصَّالِحَةُ وَاضِحَةٌ، وَٱلَّتِي هِيَ خِلَافُ ذَلِكَ لَا يُمْكِنُ أَنْ تُخْفَى.

In like manner also there are good works that are evident; and such as are otherwise cannot be hid.
