1 كورنثوس 6

١ 1 إِذَا كَانَ بَيْنَكُمْ مَنْ لَهُ دَعْوَى عَلَى آخَرَ، فَهَلْ يَجْرُؤُ أَنْ يُقِيمَهَا لَدَى الظَّالِمِينَ وَلَيْسَ لَدَى الْقِدِّيسِينَ؟

Dare any one of you who has a grievance against his neighbor go to law before heathen judges, instead of before the saints?

٢ 2 أَمَا تَعْلَمُونَ أَنَّ الْقِدِّيسِينَ سَيَدِينُونَ الْعَالَمَ؟ وَمَا دُمْتُمْ سَتَدِينُونَ الْعَالَمَ، أَفَلا تَكُونُونَ أَهْلاً لأَنْ تَحْكُمُوا فِي الْقَضَايَا الْبَسِيطَةِ؟

Do you not know that the saints will judge the world? And if the world is to be tried by you, are you unfit to try such trifling cases?

٣ 3 أَمَا تَعْلَمُونَ أَنَّنَا سَنَدِينُ الْمَلائِكَةَ؟ أَفَلَيْسَ أَوْلَى بِنَا أَنْ نَحْكُمَ فِي قَضَايَا هَذِهِ الْحَيَاةِ؟

Do you not know that we are to try angels? How much more, then, the affairs of life.

٤ 4 إِذَنْ، إِنْ كَانَ بَيْنَكُمْ خِلافٌ فِي قَضَايَا هَذِهِ الْحَيَاةِ، فَأَجْلِسُوا صِغَارَ الشَّأْنِ فِي الْكَنِيسَةِ لِلْقَضَاءِ.

Why then, if you have cases relating to earthly affairs which need to be decided, is it men who are absolutely nothing in the church whom you make your judges?

٥ 5 أَقُولُ هَذَا تَخْجِيلاً لَكُمْ. أَهَكَذَا لَيْسَ بَيْنَكُمْ حَتَّى حَكِيمٌ وَاحِدٌ يَقْدِرُ أَنْ يَقْضِيَ بَيْنَ إِخْوَتِهِ!

I say this to shame you. Is it so that there is not among you a single wise man, capable of deciding between a man and his brother?

٦ 6 غَيْرَ أَنَّ الأَخَ يُقَاضِي أَخَاهُ، وَذَلِكَ لَدَى غَيْرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ.

Must brother go to law with brother, and that, too, before unbelievers?

٧ 7 وَالْوَاقِعُ أَنَّهُ مِنَ الْعَيْبِ عَلَى الإِطْلاقِ أَنْ يُقَاضِيَ بَعْضُكُمْ بَعْضاً. أَمَا كَانَ أَحْرَى بِكُمْ أَنْ تَحْتَمِلُوا الظُّلْمَ وَأَحْرَى بِكُمْ أَنْ تَتَقَبَّلُوا السَّلْبَ؟

Indeed, to say nothing more, the fact that you have lawsuits with one another is altogether a defect in you. Why not rather suffer injustice? Why not rather endure being cheated?

٨ 8 وَلكِنَّكُمْ أَنْتُمْ تَظْلِمُونَ وَتَسْلُبُونَ حَتَّى إِخْوَتَكُمْ.

On the contrary, you yourselves are inflicting injustice and fraud, and that upon your brothers.

٩ 9 أَمَا تَعْلَمُونَ أَنَّ الظَّالِمِينَ لَنْ يَرِثُوا مَلَكُوتَ اللهِ؟ لَا تَضِلُّوا: فَإِنَّ مَلَكُوتَ اللهِ لَنْ يَرِثَهُ الزُّنَاةُ وَلا عَابِدُو الأَصْنَامِ وَلا الْفَاسِقُونَ وَلا الْمُتَخَنِّثُونَ وَلا مُضَاجِعُو الذُّكُورِ

Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. None who are immoral, or idolaters, or adulterers, or catamites, or sodomites,

١٠ 10 وَلا السَّرَّاقُونَ وَلا الطَّمَّاعُونَ وَلا السِّكِّيرُونَ وَلا الشَّتَّامُونَ وَلا الْمُغْتَصِبُونَ.

or thieves, or avaricious men, or drunkards, or foul-mouthed men, or extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God.

١١ 11 وَهكَذَا كَانَ بَعْضُكُمْ، إِلّا أَنَّكُمْ قَدِ اغْتَسَلْتُمْ، بَلْ تَقَدَّسْتُمْ، بَلْ تَبَرَّرْتُمْ، بِاسْمِ الرَّبِّ يَسُوعَ الْمَسِيحِ وَبِرُوحِ إِلهِنَا.

Such were some of you, but you have washed away your stains, you have been consecrated, you have been justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, and in the Spirit of our God.

١٢ 12 كُلُّ شَيْءٍ حَلالٌ لِي، وَلكِنْ لَيْسَ كُلُّ شَيْءٍ يَنْفَعُ. كُلُّ شَيْءٍ حَلالٌ لِي، وَلكِنِّي لَنْ أَدَعَ أَيَّ شَيْءٍ يَسُودُ عَلَيَّ.

"All things are lawful for me"? Yes, but not all things are good for me. "All things are lawful for me"? Yes, but I will not let myself be enslaved by the power of any.

١٣ 13 الطَّعَامُ لِلْبَطْنِ، وَالْبَطْنُ لِلطَّعَامِ؛ وَلَكِنَّ اللهَ سَيُبِيدُ هَذَا وَذَاكَ. غَيْرَ أَنَّ الْجَسَدَ لَيْسَ لِلزِّنَى، بَلْ لِلرَّبِّ؛ وَالرَّبُّ لِلْجَسَدِ.

"Food is meant for the stomach, and the stomach for food"? Yes, but God will soon put an end both to the one and to the other. The body, however, exists not for immorality, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body;

١٤ 14 وَاللهُ قَدْ أَقَامَ الرَّبَّ مِنَ الْمَوْتِ، وَسَيُقِيمُنَا نَحْنُ أَيْضاً بِقُدْرَتِهِ!

and the God who raised up our Lord will up-raise us also by his mighty power.

١٥ 15 أَمَا تَعْلَمُونَ أَنَّ أَجْسَادَكُمْ هِيَ أَعْضَاءُ الْمَسِيحِ؟ فَهَلْ يَجُوزُ أَنْ آخُذَ أَعْضَاءَ الْمَسِيحِ وَأَجْعَلُهَا أَعْضَاءَ زَانِيَةٍ؟ حَاشَا!

You know, do you not, that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them members of a harlot? God forbid!

١٦ 16 أَوَمَا تَعْلَمُونَ أَنَّ مَنِ اقْتَرَنَ بِزَانِيَةٍ صَارَ مَعَهَا جَسَداً وَاحِداً؟ فَإِنَّهُ يَقُولُ: «إِنَّ الاثْنَيْنِ يَصِيرَانِ جَسَداً وَاحِداً».

Do you not know that he who joins himself to a harlot is one with her in body? (For God says, The two shall become one flesh.)

١٧ 17 وَأَمَّا مَنِ اتَّحَدَ بِالرَّبِّ، فَقَدْ صَارَ مَعَهُ رُوحاً وَاحِداً!

While a man who is united with the Lord is one with Him in spirit?

١٨ 18 اهْرُبُوا مِنَ الزِّنَا! فَكُلُّ خَطِيئَةٍ يَرْتَكِبُهَا الإِنْسَانُ هِيَ خَارِجَةٌ عَنْ جَسَدِهِ، وَأَمَّا مَنْ يَرْتَكِبُ الزِّنَا، فَهُوَ يُسِيءُ إِلَى جَسَدِهِ الْخَاصِّ.

Flee from immorality. Every other sin that a man commits lies outside the body, but the immoral man sins against his own body.

١٩ 19 أَمَا تَعْلَمُونَ أَنَّ جَسَدَكُمْ هُوَ هَيْكَلٌ لِلرُّوحِ الْقُدُسِ السَّاكِنِ فِيكُمْ وَالَّذِي هُوَ لَكُمْ مِنَ اللهِ، وَأَنَّكُمْ أَنْتُمْ لَسْتُمْ مِلْكاً لأَنْفُسِكُمْ؟

Do you not know that your body is a sanctuary of the Holy Spirit who is within you, the Spirit whom you have from God?

٢٠ 20 لأَنَّكُمْ قَدِ اشْتُرِيتُمْ بِفِدْيَةٍ. إِذَنْ، مَجِّدُوا اللهَ فِي أَجْسَادِكُمْ.

You are not your own; for you have been bought with a price, therefore glorify God in your bodies.
