1 كورنثوس 3

١ 1 عَلَى أَنِّي، أَيُّهَا الإِخْوَةُ، لَمْ أَسْتَطِعْ أَنْ أُكَلِّمَكُمْ بِاعْتِبَارِكُمْ رُوحِيِّينَ، بَلْ بِاعْتِبَارِكُمْ جَسَدِيِّينَ وَأَطْفَالاً فِي الْمَسِيحِ.

Brothers, I was not able to address you as spiritual, but as fleshly, as infants in Christ.

٢ 2 قَدْ أَطْعَمْتُكُمْ لَبَناً لَا الطَّعَامَ الْقَوِيَّ، لأَنَّكُمْ لَمْ تَكُونُوا قَادِرِينَ عَلَيْهِ، بَلْ إِنَّكُمْ حَتَّى الآنَ غَيْرُ قَادِرِينَ.

I gave you milk and not solid food, because you were not ready yet. Alas, you are still not ready,

٣ 3 فَإِنَّكُمْ مَازِلْتُمْ جَسَدِيِّينَ. فَمَادَامَ بَيْنَكُمْ حَسَدٌ وَخِصَامٌ (وَانْقِسَامٌ)، أَفَلا تَكُونُونَ جَسَدِيِّينَ وَتَسْلُكُونَ وَفْقاً لِلْبَشَرِ؟

because you are still fleshly! For since there is envy, strife and divisions among you, are you not carnal and acting like ordinary people?

٤ 4 وَمَادَامَ أَحَدُكُمْ يَقُولُ: «أَنَا مَعَ بُولُسَ»، وَآخَرُ: «أَنَا مَعَ أَبُلُّوسَ»، أَفَلا تَكُونُونَ جَسَدِيِّينَ؟

For when one says, “I am of Paul,” and another, “I am of Apollos,” are you not carnal?

٥ 5 فَمَنْ هُوَ بُولُسُ؟ وَمَنْ هُوَ أَبُلُّوسُ؟ إِنَّهُمَا فَقَطْ خَادِمَانِ آمَنْتُمْ عَلَى أَيْدِيهِمَا، كَمَا أَنْعَمَ الرَّبُّ عَلَى كُلٍّ مِنْهُمَا.

Who then is Paul, who is Apollos, but ministers through whom you believed, as the Lord has given to each one?

٦ 6 أَنَا غَرَسْتُ وَأَبُلُّوسُ سَقَى؛ وَلَكِنَّ اللهَ أَنْمَى.

I planted, Apollos watered, but God keeps making it grow.

٧ 7 فَلَيْسَ الْغَارِسُ شَيْئاً وَلا السَّاقِي، بَلِ اللهُ الَّذِي يُعْطِي النُّمُوَّ.

So then neither he who plants is anything, nor he who waters, but God who makes it grow.

٨ 8 فَالْغَارِسُ وَالسَّاقِي سَوَاءٌ. إِلّا أَنَّ كُلًّا مِنْهُمَا سَيَنَالُ أُجْرَتَهُ بِالنِّسْبَةِ إِلَى تَعَبِهِ.

Now he who plants and he who waters are at one, but each will receive his own reward according to his own labor.

٩ 9 فَإِنَّنَا نَحْنُ جَمِيعاً عَامِلُونَ مَعاً عِنْدَ اللهِ، وَأَنْتُمْ حَقْلُ اللهِ وَبِنَاءُ اللهِ.

Yes, we are God's coworkers; you are God's ‘field’, God's ‘building’.

١٠ 10 وَبِحَسَبِ نِعْمَةِ اللهِ الْمَوْهُوبَةِ لِي، وَضَعْتُ الأَسَاسَ كَمَا يَفْعَلُ الْبَنَّاءُ الْمَاهِرُ، وَغَيْرِي يَبْنِي عَلَيْهِ. وَلَكِنْ، لِيَنْتَبِهْ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ كَيْفَ يَبْنِي عَلَيْهِ.

According to the grace of God that was given to me, as a wise master builder I have laid a foundation, while another builds on it. But let each one be careful how he builds;

١١ 11 فَلَيْسَ مُمْكِناً أَنْ يَضَعَ أَحَدٌ أَسَاساً آخَرَ بِالإِضَافَةِ إِلَى الأَسَاسِ الْمَوْضُوعِ، وَهُوَ يَسُوعُ الْمَسِيحُ.

for no one can lay any foundation other than what is laid, which is Jesus Christ.

١٢ 12 فَإِنْ بَنَى أَحَدٌ عَلَى هَذَا الأَسَاسِ ذَهَباً وَفِضَّةً وَحِجَارَةً كَرِيمَةً، أَوْ خَشَباً وَعُشْباً وَقَشّاً،

Now if anyone builds on this foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw,

١٣ 13 فَعَمَلُ كُلِّ وَاحِدٍ سَيَنْكَشِفُ عَلَناً إِذْ يُظْهِرُهُ ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمُ الَّذِي سَيُعْلَنُ فِي نَارٍ، وَسَوْفَ تَمْتَحِنُ النَّارُ قِيمَةَ عَمَلِ كُلِّ وَاحِدٍ.

the work of each will become evident; because the Day will make it clear, because it will be revealed by fire. Yes, the fire will test each one's work, of what sort it is.

١٤ 14 فَمَنْ بَقِيَ عَمَلُهُ الَّذِي بَنَاهُ عَلَى الأَسَاسِ، يَنَالُ أَجْراً.

If the work that anyone built endures, he will receive a reward.

١٥ 15 وَمَنِ احْتَرَقَ عَمَلُهُ، يَخْسَرُ، إِلّا أَنَّهُ هُوَ سَيَخْلُصُ؛ وَلكِنْ كَمَنْ يَمُرُّ فِي النَّارِ.

If anyone's work is burned up, he will suffer loss; but he himself will be saved, albeit so as through fire.

١٦ 16 أَلا تَعْرِفُونَ أَنَّكُمْ هَيْكَلُ اللهِ وَأَنَّ رُوحَ اللهِ سَاكِنٌ فِيكُمْ؟

Do you (pl) not know that you are a temple of God and the Spirit of God dwells in you?

١٧ 17 فَإِنْ دَمَّرَ أَحَدٌ هَيْكَلَ اللهِ، يُدَمِّرُهُ اللهُ، لأَنَّ هَيْكَلَ اللهِ مُقَدَّسٌ، وَهُوَ أَنْتُمْ.

If anyone destroys God's temple, God will destroy him; because God's temple, which you are, is holy.

١٨ 18 حَذَارِ أَنْ يَخْدَعَ أَحَدٌ مِنْكُمْ نَفْسَهُ! إِنْ ظَنَّ أَحَدٌ بَيْنَكُمْ نَفْسَهُ حَكِيماً بِمَقَايِيسِ هَذَا الْعَالَمِ، فَلْيَصِرْ «جَاهِلاً» لِيَصِيرَ حَكِيماً حَقّاً. (aiōn g165)

Let no one deceive himself. If anyone among you seems to be wise in this age, let him become ‘foolish’ so that he may become wise. (aiōn g165)

١٩ 19 فَإِنَّ حِكْمَةَ هَذَا الْعَالَمِ هِيَ جَهَالَةٌ فِي نَظَرِ اللهِ. فَإِنَّهُ قَدْ كُتِبَ: «إِنَّهُ يُمْسِكُ الْحُكَمَاءَ بِمَكْرِهِمْ»

Because the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written: “He catches the wise in their craftiness”;

٢٠ 20 وَأَيْضاً: «الرَّبُّ يَعْلَمُ أَفْكَارَ الْحُكَمَاءِ وَيَعْرِفُ أَنَّهَا بَاطِلَةٌ!»

and again, “The Lord knows the reasonings of the wise, that they are futile.”

٢١ 21 إِذَنْ، لَا يَفْتَخِرْ أَحَدٌ بِالْبَشَرِ، لأَنَّ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ هُوَ لَكُمْ،

So then, let no one boast in men, for all things are yours:

٢٢ 22 أَبُولُسُ أَمْ أَبُلُّوسُ أَمْ بُطْرُسُ أَمِ الْعَالَمُ أَمِ الْحَيَاةُ أَمِ الْمَوْتُ أَمِ الْحَاضِرُ أَمِ الْمُسْتَقْبَلُ: هَذِهِ الأُمُورُ كُلُّهَا لَكُمْ،

whether Paul or Apollos or Cephas, whether the world or life or death, whether things present or things to come—all are yours,

٢٣ 23 وَأَنْتُمْ لِلْمَسِيحِ، وَالْمَسِيحُ لِلهِ.

and you are Christ's, and Christ is God's.
