1 بطرس 1
| مِنْ بُطْرُسَ، رَسُولِ يَسُوعَ الْمَسِيحِ إِلَى الْمُشَتَّتِينَ الْمُغْتَرِبِينَ فِي بِلادِ بُنْطُسَ وَغَلاطِيَّةَ وَكَبَّدُوكِيَّةَ وَآسِيَّا وَبِيثِينِيَّةَ، | ١ 1 |
Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the elect sojourners of the Dispersion in Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia and Bithynia,
| أُولئِكَ الَّذِينَ اخْتَارَهُمُ اللهُ الآبُ بِحَسَبِ عِلْمِهِ السَّابِقِ ثُمَّ قَدَّسَهُمْ بِالرُّوحِ لِيُطِيعُوا يَسُوعَ الْمَسِيحَ وَيَطْهُرُوا بِرَشِّ دَمِهِ عَلَيْهِمْ. لِيَكُنْ لَكُمُ الْمَزِيدُ مِنَ النِّعْمَةِ وَالسَّلامِ. | ٢ 2 |
elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, by the setting apart of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling with the blood of Jesus Christ: May grace and peace be multiplied to you.
| تَبَارَكَ اللهُ أَبُو رَبِّنَا يَسُوعَ الْمَسِيحِ، فَمِنْ فَرْطِ رَحْمَتِهِ الْعَظِيمَةِ وَلَدَنَا وِلادَةً ثَانِيَةً، مَلِيئَةً بِالرَّجَاءِ عَلَى أَسَاسِ قِيَامَةِ يَسُوعَ الْمَسِيحِ مِنْ بَيْنِ الأَمْوَاتِ، | ٣ 3 |
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His great mercy has given us another birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from among the dead,
| وَإِرْثاً لَا يَفْنَى وَلا يَفْسُدُ وَلا يَزُولُ، مَحْفُوظاً لَكُمْ فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ. | ٤ 4 |
into an imperishable and undefiled and unfading inheritance, already reserved in the heavens for you,
| فَإِنَّكُمْ مَحْفُوظُونَ بِقُدْرَةِ اللهِ الْعَامِلَةِ مِنْ خِلالِ إِيمَانِكُمْ، إِلَى أَنْ تَفُوزُوا بِالْخَلاصِ النِّهَائِيِّ الْمُعَدِّ لَكُمْ، الَّذِي سَوْفَ يَتَجَلَّى فِي الزَّمَانِ الأَخِيرِ. | ٥ 5 |
who are being guarded by the power of God through faith unto a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.
| وَهَذَا يَدْعُوكُمْ إِلَى الابْتِهَاجِ، مَعَ أَنَّهُ لابُدَّ لَكُمُ الآنَ مِنَ الْحُزْنِ فَتْرَةً قَصِيرَةً تَحْتَ وَطْأَةِ التَّجَارِبِ الْمُتَنَوِّعَةِ! | ٦ 6 |
You should be overjoyed about this, even if just now, briefly, of necessity, you have been distressed by a variety of trials,
| إِلّا أَنَّ غَايَةَ هذِهِ التَّجَارِبِ هِيَ اخْتِبَارُ حَقِيقَةِ إِيمَانِكُمْ. فَكَمَا تَخْتَبِرُ النَّارُ الذَّهَبَ وَتُنَقِّيهِ، تَخْتَبِرُ التَّجَارِبُ حَقِيقَةَ إِيمَانِكُمْ، وَهُوَ أَثْمَنُ جِدّاً مِنَ الذَّهَبِ الْفَانِي. وَهكَذَا، يَكُونُ إِيمَانُكُمْ مَدْعَاةَ مَدْحٍ وَإِكْرَامٍ وَتَمْجِيدٍ لَكُمْ، عِنْدَمَا يَعُودُ يَسُوعُ الْمَسِيحُ ظَاهِراً بِمَجْدِهِ. | ٧ 7 |
so that the demonstrated genuineness of your faith (much more precious than gold that perishes, albeit tested through fire) may translate into praise, glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ
| أَنْتُمْ لَمْ تَرَوْا الْمَسِيحَ، وَلكِنَّكُمْ تُحِبُّونَهُ. وَمَعَ أَنَّكُمْ لَا تَرَوْنَهُ الآنَ، فَأَنْتُمْ تُؤْمِنُونَ بِهِ وَتَبْتَهِجُونَ بِفَرَحٍ مَجِيدٍ يَفُوقُ الْوَصْفَ. | ٨ 8 |
—whom not having understood you love, into whom believing (not yet seeing) you exult with joy inexpressible, already glorified,
| إِذْ تَبْلُغُونَ هَدَفَ إِيمَانِكُمْ، وَهُوَ خَلاصُ نُفُوسِكُمْ. | ٩ 9 |
obtaining for yourselves the end result of your faith, the salvation of your souls.
| وَكَمْ فَتَّشَ الأَنْبِيَاءُ قَدِيماً وَبَحَثُوا عَنْ هَذَا الْخَلاصِ! فَهُمْ تَنَبَّأُوا عَنْ نِعْمَةِ اللهِ الَّتِي كَانَ قَدْ أَعَدَّهَا لَكُمْ أَنْتُمْ، | ١٠ 10 |
Concerning this salvation the prophets, who prophesied about the grace that would come to you, searched and inquired diligently,
| وَاجْتَهَدُوا لِمَعْرِفَةِ الزَّمَانِ وَالأَحْوَالِ الَّتِي كَانَ يُشِيرُ إِلَيْهَا رُوحُ الْمَسِيحِ الَّذِي كَانَ عَامِلاً فِيهِمْ، عِنْدَمَا شَهِدَ لَهُمْ مُسْبَقاً بِمَا يَنْتَظِرُ الْمَسِيحَ مِنْ آلامٍ، وَبِمَا يَأْتِي بَعْدَهَا مِنْ أَمْجَادٍ. | ١١ 11 |
investigating into whom, or what sort of time, the Spirit of Christ who was in them was indicating as He testified beforehand the sufferings that would be inflicted on Christ and the glories that would follow them.
| وَلَكِنَّ اللهَ أَوْحَى إِلَيْهِمْ أَنَّ اجْتِهَادَهُمْ لَمْ يَكُنْ لِمَصْلَحَتِهِمْ هُمْ، بَلْ لِمَصْلَحَتِكُمْ أَنْتُمْ. فَقَدْ كَانَ ذَلِكَ مِنْ أَجْلِ الْبِشَارَةِ الَّتِي نَقَلَهَا إِلَيْكُمْ فِي الزَّمَانِ الْحَاضِرِ مُبَشِّرُونَ يُؤَيِّدُهُمُ الرُّوحُ الْقُدُسُ الْمُرْسَلُ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ. وَيَالَهَا مِنْ أُمُورٍ يَتَمَنَّى حَتَّى الْمَلائِكَةُ أَنْ يَطَّلِعُوا عَلَيْهَا! | ١٢ 12 |
It was revealed to them that they were not ministering these things to themselves, but to you; which things have now been announced to you by those who proclaimed the gospel to you, with the Holy Spirit sent from heaven—things that angels really desire to look into.
| لِذَلِكَ اجْعَلُوا أَذْهَانَكُمْ مُتَنَبِّهَةً دَائِماً، وَتَيَقَّظُوا، وَعَلِّقُوا رَجَاءَكُمْ كُلَّهُ عَلَى النِّعْمَةِ الَّتِي سَتَكُونُ مِنْ نَصِيبِكُمْ عِنْدَمَا يَعُودُ يَسُوعُ الْمَسِيحُ ظَاهِراً بِمَجْدِهِ! | ١٣ 13 |
Therefore, having girded up the loins of your mind, staying sober, rest your hope fully upon the grace being brought to you in the revelation of Jesus Christ—
| وَبِمَا أَنَّكُمْ صِرْتُمْ أَوْلاداً لِلهِ مُطِيعِينَ لَهُ، فَلا تَعُودُوا إِلَى مُجَارَاةِ الشَّهَوَاتِ الَّتِي كَانَتْ تُسَيْطِرُ عَلَيْكُمْ سَابِقاً فِي أَيَّامِ جَهْلِكُمْ. | ١٤ 14 |
as children of obedience, not conforming yourselves to the former lusts as in your ignorance,
| وَإِنَّمَا اسْلُكُوا سُلُوكاً مُقَدَّساً فِي كُلِّ أَمْرٍ، مُقْتَدِينَ بِالْقُدُّوسِ الَّذِي دَعَاكُمْ، | ١٥ 15 |
but just as He who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your way of life,
| لأَنَّهُ قَدْ كُتِبَ: «كُونُوا قِدِّيسِينَ، لأَنِّي أَنَا قُدُّوسٌ!» | ١٦ 16 |
because it is written, “You shall be holy, for I am holy.”
| وَمَا دُمْتُمْ تَعْتَرِفُونَ بِاللهِ أَباً لَكُمْ، وَهُوَ يَحْكُمُ عَلَى كُلِّ إِنْسَانٍ حَسَبَ أَعْمَالِهِ دُونَ انْحِيَازٍ، فَاسْلُكُوا فِي مَخَافَتِهِ مُدَّةَ إِقَامَتِكُمُ الْمُؤَقَّتَةِ عَلَى الأَرْضِ. | ١٧ 17 |
Also, since you invoke as Father the One who without partiality judges according to each one's work, conduct yourselves during the time of your sojourn here in fear,
| وَاعْلَمُوا أَنَّهُ قَدْ دَفَعَ الْفِدْيَةَ لِيُحَرِّرَكُمْ مِنْ سِيرَةِ حَيَاتِكُمُ الْبَاطِلَةِ الَّتِي أَخَذْتُمُوهَا بِالتَّقْلِيدِ عَنْ آبَائِكُمْ. وَهَذِهِ الْفِدْيَةُ لَمْ تَكُنْ شَيْئاً فَانِياً كَالْفِضَّةِ أَوِ الذَّهَبِ، | ١٨ 18 |
knowing that it was not with perishable things (silver or gold) that you were redeemed from the futile way of life handed down by your forefathers,
| بَلْ كَانَتْ دَماً ثَمِيناً، دَمَ الْمَسِيحِ، ذَلِكَ الْحَمَلِ الطَّاهِرِ الَّذِي لَيْسَ فِيهِ عَيْبٌ وَلا دَنَسٌ! | ١٩ 19 |
but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a faultless and pure lamb;
| وَمَعَ أَنَّ اللهَ كَانَ قَدْ عَيَّنَهُ لِهَذَا الْغَرَضِ قَبْلَ تَأْسِيسِ الْعَالَمِ، فَهُوَ لَمْ يُعْلِنْهُ إِلّا فِي هَذَا الزَّمَنِ الأَخِيرِ لِفَائِدَتِكُمْ | ٢٠ 20 |
who was foreknown indeed before the foundation of the world, but was revealed in these last times for your sake,
| أَنْتُمُ الَّذِينَ بِوَاسِطَةِ الْمَسِيحِ تُؤْمِنُونَ بِاللهِ الَّذِي أَقَامَهُ مِنَ الْمَوْتِ وَأَعْطَاهُ الْمَجْدَ، حَتَّى يَكُونَ اللهُ غَايَةَ إِيمَانِكُمْ وَرَجَائِكُمْ. | ٢١ 21 |
who through Him are believing into God, who raised Him out from the dead and gave Him glory, so that your faith and hope are into God.
| وَإِذْ قَدْ خَضَعْتُمْ لِلْحَقِّ، فَتَطَهَّرَتْ نُفُوسُكُمْ وَصِرْتُمْ قَادِرِينَ أَنْ تُحِبُّوا الآخَرِينَ مَحَبَّةً أَخَوِيَّةً لَا رِيَاءَ فِيهَا، أَحِبُّوا بَعْضُكُمْ بَعْضاً مَحَبَّةً شَدِيدَةً صَادِرَةً مِنْ قَلْبٍ طَاهِرٍ! | ٢٢ 22 |
Since you have purified your souls by obeying the truth through the Spirit, resulting in sincere brotherly love, you must love one another fervently from a pure heart,
| فَأَنْتُمْ قَدْ وُلِدْتُمْ وِلادَةً ثَانِيَةً لَا مِنْ زَرْعٍ بَشَرِيٍّ يَفْنَى، بَلْ مِمَّا لَا يَفْنَى: بِكَلِمَةِ اللهِ الْحَيَّةِ الْبَاقِيَةِ إِلَى الأَبَدِ. (aiōn g165) | ٢٣ 23 |
having been begotten again, not from a corruptible seed but an incorruptible, through the living Word of God that remains valid forever. (aiōn g165)
| فَإِنَّ الْحَيَاةَ الْبَشَرِيَّةَ كَالْعُشْبِ، وَمَجْدَهَا كُلَّهُ كَزَهْرِ الْعُشْبِ. وَلابُدَّ أَنْ تَفْنَى كَمَا يَيْبَسُ الْعُشْبُ وَيَسْقُطُ زَهْرُهُ! | ٢٤ 24 |
For: “All flesh is as grass, and all man's glory as flower of grass. The grass withers and its flower falls off, but the Lord's word endures forever.”
