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 chosen ones who are living as foreigners in 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 |
according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, in sanctification of the Spirit, that you may obey Jesus Christ and be sprinkled with his blood: Grace to you and peace be multiplied.
| 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 caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
| وَإِرْثاً لَا يَفْنَى وَلا يَفْسُدُ وَلا يَزُولُ، مَحْفُوظاً لَكُمْ فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ. | ٤ 4 |
to an incorruptible and undefiled inheritance that doesn’t fade away, reserved in Heaven 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 by the power of God are guarded through faith for 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 |
In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while, if need be, you have been grieved in various 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 |
that the proof of your faith, which is more precious than gold that perishes, even though it is tested by fire, may be found to result in 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 known, you love. In him, though now you don’t see him, yet believing, you rejoice greatly with joy that is unspeakable and full of glory,
| إِذْ تَبْلُغُونَ هَدَفَ إِيمَانِكُمْ، وَهُوَ خَلاصُ نُفُوسِكُمْ. | ٩ 9 |
receiving the 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 sought and searched diligently. They prophesied of the grace that would come 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 |
searching for who or what kind of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them pointed to when he predicted the sufferings of 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 |
To them it was revealed that they served not themselves, but you, in these things, which now have been announced to you through those who preached the Good News to you by the Holy Spirit sent out from heaven; which things angels 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 prepare your minds for action. Be sober, and set your hope fully on the grace that will be brought to you at 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 according to your 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 yourselves also be holy in all of your behavior,
| 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 |
If you call on him as Father, who without respect of persons judges according to each man’s work, pass the time of your living as foreigners here in reverent 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 you were redeemed, not with corruptible things like silver or gold, from the useless way of life handed down from your fathers,
| بَلْ كَانَتْ دَماً ثَمِيناً، دَمَ الْمَسِيحِ، ذَلِكَ الْحَمَلِ الطَّاهِرِ الَّذِي لَيْسَ فِيهِ عَيْبٌ وَلا دَنَسٌ! | ١٩ 19 |
but with precious blood, as of a lamb without blemish or spot, the blood of Christ,
| 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 this last age 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 believers in God, who raised him from the dead and gave him glory, so 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 |
Seeing you have purified your souls in your obedience to the truth through the Spirit in sincere brotherly affection, love one another from the heart fervently,
| 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 born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, through the word of God, which lives and remains 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 like grass, and all of man’s glory like the flower in the grass. The grass withers, and its flower falls;
