< 1 تيموثاوس 3 >
مَا أَصْدَقَ الْقَوْلَ إِنَّ مَنْ يَرْغَبُ فِي أَنْ يَكُونَ رَاعِياً فَإِنَّمَا يَتُوقُ إِلَى عَمَلٍ صَالِحٍ. | ١ 1 |
This saying is true. If one earnestly seek the office of a bishop, he desires an excellent work.
إِذَنْ، يَجِبُ أَنْ يَكُونَ الرَّاعِي بِلا عَيْبٍ، زَوْجاً لامْرَأَةٍ وَاحِدَةٍ، يَقِظاً عَاقِلاً مُهَذَّباً مِضْيَافاً، قَادِراً عَلَى التَّعْلِيمِ؛ | ٢ 2 |
The bishop, then, must be unblamed, the husband of one wife, vigilant, prudent, of comely behavior, hospitable, fit to teach;
لَا مُدْمِناً لِلْخَمْرِ وَلا عَنِيفاً؛ بَلْ لَطِيفاً، غَيْرَ مُتَعَوِّدِ الْخِصَامِ، غَيْرَ مُولَعٍ بِالْمَالِ، | ٣ 3 |
not given to wine, no striker, but gentle; not quarrelsome, nor a lover of money:
يُحْسِنُ تَدْبِيرَ بَيْتِهِ، وَيُرَبِّي أَوْلادَهُ فِي الْخُضُوعِ بِكُلِّ احْتِرَامٍ. | ٤ 4 |
one who rules well his own house, having his children in subjection to him with all gravity:
فَإِنْ كَانَ أَحَدٌ لَا يُحْسِنُ تَدْبِيرَ بَيْتِهِ، فَكَيْفَ يَعْتَنِي بِكَنِيسَةِ اللهِ؟ | ٥ 5 |
for if one know not how to govern his own house; how shall he take care of the congregation of God?
وَيَجِبُ أَيْضاً أَنْ لَا يَكُونَ مُبْتَدِئاً فِي الإِيمَانِ، لِئَلَّا يَنْتَفِخَ تَكَبُّراً، فَيَقَعَ عَلَيْهِ عِقَابُ إِبْلِيسَ! | ٦ 6 |
Not a new convert, lest being puffed up with pride, he fall into the condemnation of the devil.
وَمِنَ الضَّرُورِيِّ أَنْ تَكُونَ لَهُ شَهَادَةٌ حَسَنَةٌ مِنَ الَّذِينَ فِي خَارِجِ الْكَنِيسَةِ، لِكَيْ لَا يَقَعَ فِي الْعَارِ وَفِي فَخِّ إِبْلِيسَ. | ٧ 7 |
Moreover, he must even have a good report from those without, that he may not fall into reproach, and the snare of the devil.
أَمَّا الْمُدَبِّرُونَ، فَيَجِبُ أَنْ يَكُونُوا أَيْضاً ذَوِي وَقَارٍ، لَا ذَوِي لِسَانَيْنِ، وَلا مُدْمِنِينَ لِلْخَمْرِ، لَا سَاعِينَ إِلَى الْمَكْسَبِ الْخَسِيسِ. | ٨ 8 |
The deacons, in like manner, must be grave, not double-tongued, not giving themselves to much wine, not persons who earn money by base methods;
يَتَمَسَّكُونَ بِحَقَائِقِ الإِيمَانِ الْخَفِيَّةِ بِضَمِيرٍ نَقِيٍّ. | ٩ 9 |
holding fast the secret of the faith with a pure conscience.
وَأَيْضاً يَجِبُ أَنْ يَتِمَّ اخْتِبَارُ الْمُدَبِّرِينَ أَوَّلاً، فَإِذَا تَبَيَّنَ أَنَّهُمْ بِلا لَوْمٍ، فَلْيُبَاشِرُوا خِدْمَةَ التَّدْبِيرِ. | ١٠ 10 |
But let those also be first proved: then let them exercise the office of the deacon, being without blame.
كَذَلِكَ يَجِبُ أَنْ تَكُونَ النِّسَاءُ أَيْضاً رَزِينَاتٍ، غَيْرَ نَمَّامَاتٍ، يَقِظَاتٍ، أَمِينَاتٍ فِي كُلِّ شَيْءٍ. | ١١ 11 |
The women, in like manner, must be grave, not slanderers; but vigilant, faithful in all things.
كَمَا يَجِبُ أَنْ يَكُونَ كُلُّ مُدَبِّرٍ زَوْجاً لامْرَأَةٍ وَاحِدَةٍ، يُحْسِنُ تَدْبِيرَ أَوْلادِهِ وَبَيْتِهِ. | ١٢ 12 |
Let the deacons be the husbands of one wife, ruling well their children and their families.
فَإِنَّ الَّذِينَ يَقُومُونَ بِخِدْمَةِ التَّدْبِيرِ خَيْرَ قِيَامٍ، يَكْسِبُونَ لأَنْفُسِهِمْ مَكَانَةً جَيِّدَةً، وَجُرْأَةً كَبِيرَةً فِي الإِيمَانِ الثَّابِتِ فِي الْمَسِيحِ يَسُوعَ! | ١٣ 13 |
For they who have performed the office of a deacon well, procure to themselves an excellent degree, and great boldness in the faith which is in Christ Jesus.
هَذِهِ التَّوْصِيَاتُ أَكْتُبُهَا إِلَيْكَ، وَأَنَا أَرْجُو أَنْ آتِيَ إِلَيْكَ بِأَكْثَرِ سُرْعَةٍ، | ١٤ 14 |
These things I write to you, hoping to come to you soon.
حَتَّى إِذَا تَأَخَّرْتُ تَعْلَمُ كَيْفَ يَجِبُ التَّصَرُّفُ فِي بَيْتِ اللهِ، أَيْ كَنِيسَةِ اللهِ الْحَيِّ، رُكْنِ الْحَقِّ وَدُعَامَتِهِ. | ١٥ 15 |
But if I tarry long, that you may know you ought to behave yourselves in the house of God, which is the congregation of the living God, the pillar and support of the truth.--
وَبِاعْتِرَافِ الْجَمِيعِ، إِنَّ سِرَّ التَّقْوَى عَظِيمٌ: اللهُ ظَهَرَ فِي الْجَسَدِ، شَهِدَ الرُّوحُ لِبِرِّهِ، شَاهَدَتْهُ الْمَلائِكَةُ، بُشِّرَ بِهِ بَيْنَ الأُمَمِ، أُومِنَ بِهِ فِي الْعَالَمِ، ثُمَّ رُفِعَ فِي الْمَجْدِ. | ١٦ 16 |
And, confessedly, great is the secret of godliness; --he who has manifested in the flesh, justified in the Spirit; seen of messengers, proclaimed to the Gentiles, believed on in the world, taken up in glory.
