1 بطرس 1
| مِنْ بُطْرُسَ، رَسُولِ يَسُوعَ الْمَسِيحِ إِلَى الْمُشَتَّتِينَ الْمُغْتَرِبِينَ فِي بِلادِ بُنْطُسَ وَغَلاطِيَّةَ وَكَبَّدُوكِيَّةَ وَآسِيَّا وَبِيثِينِيَّةَ، | ١ 1 |
PETER, a legate of Jesus the Messiah, to the elect and sojourners, who are dispersed in Pontus and in Galatia, and in Cappadocia, and in Asia, and in 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 |
to them who have been chosen, by the foreknowledge of God the Father, through sanctification of the Spirit, unto the obedience and the sprinkling of the blood of Jesus the Messiah: May grace and peace abound towards 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 God, the Father of our Lord Jesus the Messiah, who in his great mercy hath begotten us anew, by the resurrection of our Lord Jesus the Messiah, to the hope of life,
| وَإِرْثاً لَا يَفْنَى وَلا يَفْسُدُ وَلا يَزُولُ، مَحْفُوظاً لَكُمْ فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ. | ٤ 4 |
and to an inheritance incorruptible, undefiled, and unfading, which is prepared for you in heaven;
| فَإِنَّكُمْ مَحْفُوظُونَ بِقُدْرَةِ اللهِ الْعَامِلَةِ مِنْ خِلالِ إِيمَانِكُمْ، إِلَى أَنْ تَفُوزُوا بِالْخَلاصِ النِّهَائِيِّ الْمُعَدِّ لَكُمْ، الَّذِي سَوْفَ يَتَجَلَّى فِي الزَّمَانِ الأَخِيرِ. | ٥ 5 |
while ye are kept, by the power of God and by faith, for the life that is prepared and will be revealed in the last times;
| وَهَذَا يَدْعُوكُمْ إِلَى الابْتِهَاجِ، مَعَ أَنَّهُ لابُدَّ لَكُمُ الآنَ مِنَ الْحُزْنِ فَتْرَةً قَصِيرَةً تَحْتَ وَطْأَةِ التَّجَارِبِ الْمُتَنَوِّعَةِ! | ٦ 6 |
wherein ye will rejoice for ever, notwithstanding ye at the present time are pressed a little, by the various trials that pass over you;
| 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 proof of your faith may appear more precious than refined gold that is tested by fire, unto glory and honor and praise, at the manifestation of Jesus the Messiah:
| أَنْتُمْ لَمْ تَرَوْا الْمَسِيحَ، وَلكِنَّكُمْ تُحِبُّونَهُ. وَمَعَ أَنَّكُمْ لَا تَرَوْنَهُ الآنَ، فَأَنْتُمْ تُؤْمِنُونَ بِهِ وَتَبْتَهِجُونَ بِفَرَحٍ مَجِيدٍ يَفُوقُ الْوَصْفَ. | ٨ 8 |
whom having not seen, ye love; and in the faith of whom ye rejoice, with joy that is glorious and ineffable,
| إِذْ تَبْلُغُونَ هَدَفَ إِيمَانِكُمْ، وَهُوَ خَلاصُ نُفُوسِكُمْ. | ٩ 9 |
that ye may receive the recompense of your faith, the life of your souls;
| وَكَمْ فَتَّشَ الأَنْبِيَاءُ قَدِيماً وَبَحَثُوا عَنْ هَذَا الْخَلاصِ! فَهُمْ تَنَبَّأُوا عَنْ نِعْمَةِ اللهِ الَّتِي كَانَ قَدْ أَعَدَّهَا لَكُمْ أَنْتُمْ، | ١٠ 10 |
that life namely, about which the prophets inquired, when they were prophesying of the grace which was to be given to you.
| 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 |
And they searched for the time which the Spirit of the Messiah dwelling in them did show and testify, when the sufferings of the Messiah were to occur, and his subsequent glory.
| 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 |
And it was revealed to them, in regard to all they were searching, that, not for themselves were they inquiring, but for us they were prophesying of those things, which are now manifested to you by means of the things we have announced to you, by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven; which things the angels also 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 |
Wherefore, gird up the loins of your minds. and be awake perfectly, and wait for the joy, which will come to you at the revelation of our Lord Jesus the Messiah,
| وَبِمَا أَنَّكُمْ صِرْتُمْ أَوْلاداً لِلهِ مُطِيعِينَ لَهُ، فَلا تَعُودُوا إِلَى مُجَارَاةِ الشَّهَوَاتِ الَّتِي كَانَتْ تُسَيْطِرُ عَلَيْكُمْ سَابِقاً فِي أَيَّامِ جَهْلِكُمْ. | ١٤ 14 |
as obedient children: and be ye not conversant again with those former lusts, with which ye lusted when without knowledge.
| وَإِنَّمَا اسْلُكُوا سُلُوكاً مُقَدَّساً فِي كُلِّ أَمْرٍ، مُقْتَدِينَ بِالْقُدُّوسِ الَّذِي دَعَاكُمْ، | ١٥ 15 |
But be ye holy in all your conduct, as he is holy who hath called you.
| لأَنَّهُ قَدْ كُتِبَ: «كُونُوا قِدِّيسِينَ، لأَنِّي أَنَا قُدُّوسٌ!» | ١٦ 16 |
Because it is written: Be ye holy, even as 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 |
And if so be ye call on the Father, with whom is no respect of persons, and who judgeth every one according to his deeds, pass the time of your sojournment with 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 |
since ye know, that neither with perishable silver, nor with gold, ye were redeemed from your vain doings, which ye had by tradition from your fathers;
| بَلْ كَانَتْ دَماً ثَمِيناً، دَمَ الْمَسِيحِ، ذَلِكَ الْحَمَلِ الطَّاهِرِ الَّذِي لَيْسَ فِيهِ عَيْبٌ وَلا دَنَسٌ! | ١٩ 19 |
but with the precious blood of that Lamb in which is no spot nor blemish, namely, the Messiah:
| وَمَعَ أَنَّ اللهَ كَانَ قَدْ عَيَّنَهُ لِهَذَا الْغَرَضِ قَبْلَ تَأْسِيسِ الْعَالَمِ، فَهُوَ لَمْ يُعْلِنْهُ إِلّا فِي هَذَا الزَّمَنِ الأَخِيرِ لِفَائِدَتِكُمْ | ٢٠ 20 |
who was predestined to this, before the foundation of the world; and was manifested at the termination of the times, for your sakes;
| أَنْتُمُ الَّذِينَ بِوَاسِطَةِ الْمَسِيحِ تُؤْمِنُونَ بِاللهِ الَّذِي أَقَامَهُ مِنَ الْمَوْتِ وَأَعْطَاهُ الْمَجْدَ، حَتَّى يَكُونَ اللهُ غَايَةَ إِيمَانِكُمْ وَرَجَائِكُمْ. | ٢١ 21 |
who, by means of him, have believed in God, who raised him from the dead and conferred glory on him; that your faith and hope might be in 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 |
while your minds became sanctified, by obedience to the truth; and ye be full of love, without respect of persons, so that ye love one another out of a pure and perfect 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 |
like persons born again, not of seed that perisheth, but of that which doth not perish, by the living word of God, who abideth for ever. (aiōn g165)
| فَإِنَّ الْحَيَاةَ الْبَشَرِيَّةَ كَالْعُشْبِ، وَمَجْدَهَا كُلَّهُ كَزَهْرِ الْعُشْبِ. وَلابُدَّ أَنْ تَفْنَى كَمَا يَيْبَسُ الْعُشْبُ وَيَسْقُطُ زَهْرُهُ! | ٢٤ 24 |
Because all flesh is as grass, and all its beauty like the flower of the field. The grass drieth up, and the flower withereth away;
