1 تسالونيكي 5

١ 1 أَمَّا مَسْأَلَةُ الأَزْمِنَةِ وَالأَوْقَاتِ الْمُحَدَّدَةِ، فَلَسْتُمْ فِي حَاجَةٍ لأَنْ يُكْتَبَ إِلَيْكُمْ فِيهَا.

However, concerning the times and the seasons, brethren, you have no need that I write to you:

٢ 2 لأَنَّكُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ يَقِيناً أَنَّ يَوْمَ الرَّبِّ سَيَأْتِي كَمَا يَأْتِي اللِّصُّ فِي اللَّيْلِ.

for yourselves know perfectly, that the day of the Lord comes as a thief in the night.

٣ 3 فَبَيْنَمَا النَّاسُ يَقُولُونَ: حَلَّ السَّلامُ وَالأَمْنُ! يَنْزِلُ بِهِمِ الْهَلاكُ الْمُفَاجِئُ كَالْمَخَاضِ الَّذِي يَدْهَمُ الْحُبْلَى، فَلا يَسْتَطِيعُونَ أَبَداً أَنْ يُفْلِتُوا.

When they shall say, Peace and safety, then sudden destruction comes upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.

٤ 4 غَيْرَ أَنَّكُمْ أَنْتُمْ، أَيُّهَا الإِخْوَةُ، لَسْتُمْ فِي الظَّلامِ حَتَّى يُفَاجِئَكُمْ ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمُ كَأَنَّهُ لِصٌّ.

But you, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should come upon you like a thief.

٥ 5 فَأَنْتُمْ جَمِيعاً أَبْنَاءُ النُّورِ وَأَبْنَاءُ النَّهَارِ. إِنَّنَا لَسْنَا أَهْلَ اللَّيْلِ وَلا أَهْلَ الظَّلامِ.

You are all sons of light, and sons of day: we are not sons of night, nor of darkness.

٦ 6 إِذَنْ، لَا نَنَمْ كَمَا يَنَامُ الآخَرُونَ، بَلْ لِنَظَلّ سَاهِرِينَ وَصَاحِينَ،

Therefore, let us not sleep, even as others; but let us watch and be sober.

٧ 7 فَإِنَّهُ فِي اللَّيْلِ يَنَامُ الَّذِينَ يَنَامُونَ، وَفِي اللَّيْلِ يَسْكَرُ الَّذِينَ يَسْكَرُونَ

For they who sleep, sleep in the night; and they who get drunk, get drunk in the night.

٨ 8 وَأَمَّا نَحْنُ، أَهْلَ النَّهَارِ، فَلْنَظَلّ صَاحِينَ، مُتَّخِذِينَ مِنَ الإِيمَانِ وَالْمَحَبَّةِ دِرْعاً لِصُدُورِنَا، وَمِنَ الرَّجَاءِ بِالْخَلاصِ خُوذَةً لِرُؤُوسِنَا.

But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for a helmet, the hope of salvation.

٩ 9 فَإِنَّ اللهَ عَيَّنَنَا لَا لِيَنْزِلَ عَلَيْنَا الْغَضَبُ بَلْ لِنَنَالَ الْخَلاصَ بِرَبِّنَا يَسُوعَ الْمَسِيحِ،

For God has appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation, through our Lord Jesus Christ, who died for us, that whether we wake or sleep, we may live together, with him.

١٠ 10 الَّذِي مَاتَ عَنَّا لِكَيْ نَحْيَا جَمِيعاً مَعَهُ، سَوَاءٌ كُنَّا فِي سَهَرِ الْحَيَاةِ أَمْ فِي رُقَادِ الْمَوْتِ!

Wherefore, comfort one another, and edify each other, even as also you do.

١١ 11 لِذَلِكَ عَزُّوا بَعْضُكُمْ بَعْضاً وَشَدِّدُوا أَحَدُكُمُ الآخَرَ، كَمَا أَنْتُمْ فَاعِلُونَ.

Wherefore, comfort one another, and edify each other, even as also you do.

١٢ 12 عَلَى أَنَّنَا نَرْجُو مِنْكُمْ، أَيُّهَا الإِخْوَةُ، أَنْ تُمَيِّزُوا أُولئِكَ الَّذِينَ يَجْتَهِدُونَ بَيْنَكُمْ، وَيَرْعُونَكُمْ كَمَا يُرِيدُ الرَّبُّ، وَيَعِظُونَكُمْ،

Now, we beseech you, brethren, to acknowledge them who labor among you, and who preside over you in the Lord, and instruct you;

١٣ 13 وَأَنْ تُقَدِّرُوهُمْ تَقْدِيراً فَائِقاً فِي الْمَحَبَّةِ، مِنْ أَجْلِ عَمَلِهِمْ. عِيشُوا بِسَلامٍ بَعْضُكُمْ مَعَ بَعْضٍ.

and to esteem them very highly in love for their works' sake. Be at peace among yourselves.

١٤ 14 إِلَّا أَنَّنَا نُنَاشِدُكُمْ، أَيُّهَا الإِخْوَةُ، أَنْ تَعِظُوا الْفَوْضَوِيِّينَ، وَتُشَدِّدُوا فَاقِدِي الْعَزْمِ، وَتُسَانِدُوا الضُّعَفَاءَ، وَتُعَامِلُوا الْجَمِيعَ بِطُولِ الْبَالِ.

Moreover, we exhort you, brethren, admonish the disorderly, comfort the faint-hearted, support the weak, be of a long-suffering disposition toward all.

١٥ 15 حَذَارِ أَنْ يُبَادِلَ أَحَدُكُمْ شَرَّ غَيْرِهِ بِشَرٍّ مِثْلِهِ. بَلِ اسْعَوْا دَائِماً إِلَى الْخَيْرِ فِي مُعَامَلَتِكُمْ بَعْضِكُمْ لِبَعْضٍ وَلِلآخَرِينَ جَمِيعاً.

Take care that no one return evil for evil to any one, but always pursue what is good, both toward one another and toward all.

١٦ 16 افْرَحُوا عَلَى الدَّوَامِ؛

Rejoice always.

١٧ 17 صَلُّوا دُونَ انْقِطَاعٍ؛

Pray without ceasing.

١٨ 18 ارْفَعُوا الشُّكْرَ فِي كُلِّ حَالٍ: فَهذِهِ هِيَ مَشِيئَةُ اللهِ لَكُمْ فِي الْمَسِيحِ يَسُوعَ.

In everything give thanks; for this is the will of God, by Christ Jesus, concerning you.

١٩ 19 لَا تُخْمِدُوا الرُّوحَ،

Quench not the Spirit.

٢٠ 20 لَا تَحْتَقِرُوا النُّبُوءَاتِ؛

Despise not prophesying.

٢١ 21 امْتَحِنُوا كُلَّ شَيْءٍ وَتَمَسَّكُوا بِالْحَسَنِ.

Prove all things. Hold fast that which is good.

٢٢ 22 تَرَفَّعُوا عَنْ كُلِّ مَا فِيهِ شُبْهَةُ شَرٍّ.

Abstain from all appearance of evil.

٢٣ 23 وَإِلَهُ السَّلامِ نَفْسُهُ يُقَدِّسُكُمْ إِلَى التَّمَامِ وَيَحْفَظُكُمْ سَالِمِينَ، رُوحاً وَنَفْساً وَجَسَداً، لِتَكُونُوا بِلا لَوْمٍ عِنْدَ عَوْدَةِ رَبِّنَا يَسُوعَ الْمَسِيحِ.

And may the God of peace himself sanctify you wholly; and may your whole person, the spirit, and the soul, and the body, be preserved unblamable, till the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

٢٤ 24 فَإِنَّ اللهَ الَّذِي يَدْعُوكُمْ صَادِقٌ، وَسَوْفَ يُتِمُّ ذَلِكَ.

Faithful is he who has called you; who also will do it.

٢٥ 25 أَيُّهَا الإِخْوَةُ، صَلُّوا لأَجْلِنَا.

Brethren, pray for us.

٢٦ 26 سَلِّمُوا عَلَى جَمِيعِ الإِخْوَةِ بِقُبْلَةٍ طَاهِرَةٍ!

Salute all the brethren with a holy kiss.

٢٧ 27 أُنَاشِدُكُمْ بِالرَّبِّ أَنْ تُقْرَأَ هذِهِ الرِّسَالَةُ عَلَى جَمِيعِ الإِخْوَةِ.

I solemnly charge you by the Lord, that this epistle be read to all the holy brethren.

٢٨ 28 وَلْتَكُنْ مَعَكُمْ نِعْمَةُ رَبِّنَا يَسُوعَ الْمَسِيحِ.

The favor of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.
