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 who are sojourners of the dispersion in Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Roman 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 the sanctification of the spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ; 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, by whose great mercy we have been born anew into 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 |
and into an inheritance imperishable and undefiled and fadeless, which has been kept 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, through faith, are continuously guarded by the power of God for a salvation, ready to be revealed in the last days.
| وَهَذَا يَدْعُوكُمْ إِلَى الابْتِهَاجِ، مَعَ أَنَّهُ لابُدَّ لَكُمُ الآنَ مِنَ الْحُزْنِ فَتْرَةً قَصِيرَةً تَحْتَ وَطْأَةِ التَّجَارِبِ الْمُتَنَوِّعَةِ! | ٦ 6 |
Exult in this, though now for a brief moment, if need be, you have suffered many hardships.
| 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 |
These are in order that the test of your faith, more precious than gold that is perishable and yet is tested by fire, may redound to praise and 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 |
Him you love, though you have never seen him; in him you ever believe, though even now you see him not, and you are rejoicing with joy unspeakable and full of glory,
| إِذْ تَبْلُغُونَ هَدَفَ إِيمَانِكُمْ، وَهُوَ خَلاصُ نُفُوسِكُمْ. | ٩ 9 |
as you continually receive the reward of your faith, even 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 regarding the grace intended for you, diligently sought and searched.
| 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 |
They were searching to know to what time, or to what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them kept pointing, when he ever testified beforehand concerning the sufferings of Christ and the glories that would follow.
| 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 it was not for themselves, but for you, that they were ministering the truths which have now been announced to you, by those who preached the gospel to you, through the help of the Holy Spirit sent forth from heaven - truths into which angels long to look.
| لِذَلِكَ اجْعَلُوا أَذْهَانَكُمْ مُتَنَبِّهَةً دَائِماً، وَتَيَقَّظُوا، وَعَلِّقُوا رَجَاءَكُمْ كُلَّهُ عَلَى النِّعْمَةِ الَّتِي سَتَكُونُ مِنْ نَصِيبِكُمْ عِنْدَمَا يَعُودُ يَسُوعُ الْمَسِيحُ ظَاهِراً بِمَجْدِهِ! | ١٣ 13 |
So then brace up your minds, be steady in spirit, and fix your hope firmly in the grace that is coming 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 |
Like obedient children, do not fashion yourselves according to the former passions of your days of ignorance,
| وَإِنَّمَا اسْلُكُوا سُلُوكاً مُقَدَّساً فِي كُلِّ أَمْرٍ، مُقْتَدِينَ بِالْقُدُّوسِ الَّذِي دَعَاكُمْ، | ١٥ 15 |
but become yourselves holy in your whole manner of living, as He who has called you is holy,
| لأَنَّهُ قَدْ كُتِبَ: «كُونُوا قِدِّيسِينَ، لأَنِّي أَنَا قُدُّوسٌ!» | ١٦ 16 |
as the Scripture says, You shall be holy, because 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 since you call upon him as Father, who impartially judges each one according to his deeds, pass the time of your sojourning here in reverence.
| 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 |
For you well know that not with perishable things, with silver or gold, were you redeemed from the emptiness of your manner of life, received by tradition from your ancestors;
| بَلْ كَانَتْ دَماً ثَمِيناً، دَمَ الْمَسِيحِ، ذَلِكَ الْحَمَلِ الطَّاهِرِ الَّذِي لَيْسَ فِيهِ عَيْبٌ وَلا دَنَسٌ! | ١٩ 19 |
but with precious blood, like that of a lamb without spot or blemish, even 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 |
He was indeed foreknown before the foundation of the world, but was manifested at the end of the times for your sake.
| أَنْتُمُ الَّذِينَ بِوَاسِطَةِ الْمَسِيحِ تُؤْمِنُونَ بِاللهِ الَّذِي أَقَامَهُ مِنَ الْمَوْتِ وَأَعْطَاهُ الْمَجْدَ، حَتَّى يَكُونَ اللهُ غَايَةَ إِيمَانِكُمْ وَرَجَائِكُمْ. | ٢١ 21 |
Through him you believe in God who raised him from the dead and gave him glory; so that your faith and hope are now 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 |
Now that by obedience to the truth you have purified your lives for a brotherly love without hypocrisy, you must love one another from your hearts, 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 |
For you have been born anew, not of perishable, but of imperishable seed, by the living, lasting word of God. (aiōn g165)
| فَإِنَّ الْحَيَاةَ الْبَشَرِيَّةَ كَالْعُشْبِ، وَمَجْدَهَا كُلَّهُ كَزَهْرِ الْعُشْبِ. وَلابُدَّ أَنْ تَفْنَى كَمَا يَيْبَسُ الْعُشْبُ وَيَسْقُطُ زَهْرُهُ! | ٢٤ 24 |
For, All flesh is grass And all its glory like the flower of the grass. The grass fades, The flower falls,
