1 Timothy 1

1 Paul, an Apostle of Jesus Christ, by the order of God our Saviour and Christ Jesus our hope;

١ بُولُسُ، رَسُولُ يَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ، بِحَسَبِ أَمْرِ ٱللهِ مُخَلِّصِنَا، وَرَبِّنَا يَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ، رَجَائِنَا.

2 To Timothy, my true child in the faith: Grace, mercy, peace, from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.

٢ إِلَى تِيمُوثَاوُسَ، ٱلِٱبْنِ ٱلصَّرِيحِ فِي ٱلْإِيمَانِ: نِعْمَةٌ وَرَحْمَةٌ وَسَلَامٌ مِنَ ٱللهِ أَبِينَا وَٱلْمَسِيحِ يَسُوعَ رَبِّنَا.

3 It was my desire, when I went on into Macedonia, that you might make a stop at Ephesus, to give orders to certain men not to put forward a different teaching,

٣ كَمَا طَلَبْتُ إِلَيْكَ أَنْ تَمْكُثَ فِي أَفَسُسَ، إِذْ كُنْتُ أَنَا ذَاهِبًا إِلَى مَكِدُونِيَّةَ، لِكَيْ تُوصِيَ قَوْمًا أَنْ لَا يُعَلِّمُوا تَعْلِيمًا آخَرَ،

4 Or to give attention to stories and long lists of generations, from which come questionings and doubts, in place of God's ordered way of life which is in faith;

٤ وَلَا يُصْغُوا إِلَى خُرَافَاتٍ وَأَنْسَابٍ لَا حَدَّ لَهَا، تُسَبِّبُ مُبَاحَثَاتٍ دُونَ بُنْيَانِ ٱللهِ ٱلَّذِي فِي ٱلْإِيمَانِ.

5 But the effect of the order is love coming from a clean heart, and a knowledge of what is right, and true faith:

٥ وَأَمَّا غَايَةُ ٱلْوَصِيَّةِ فَهِيَ ٱلْمَحَبَّةُ مِنْ قَلْبٍ طَاهِرٍ، وَضَمِيرٍ صَالِحٍ، وَإِيمَانٍ بِلَا رِيَاءٍ.

6 From which some have been turned away, giving themselves to foolish talking;

٦ ٱلْأُمُورُ ٱلَّتِي إِذْ زَاغَ قَوْمٌ عَنْهَا، ٱنْحَرَفُوا إِلَى كَلَامٍ بَاطِلٍ.

7 Desiring to be teachers of the law, though they have no knowledge of what they say or of the statements which they make so certainly.

٧ يُرِيدُونَ أَنْ يَكُونُوا مُعَلِّمِي ٱلنَّامُوسِ، وَهُمْ لَا يَفْهَمُونَ مَا يَقُولُونَ، وَلَا مَا يُقَرِّرُونَهُ.

8 We are conscious that the law is good, if a man makes a right use of it,

٨ وَلَكِنَّنَا نَعْلَمُ أَنَّ ٱلنَّامُوسَ صَالِحٌ، إِنْ كَانَ أَحَدٌ يَسْتَعْمِلُهُ نَامُوسِيًّا.

9 With the knowledge that the law is made, not for the upright man, but for those who have no respect for law and order, for evil men and sinners, for the unholy and those who have no religion, for those who put their fathers or mothers to death, for takers of life,

٩ عَالِمًا هَذَا: أَنَّ ٱلنَّامُوسَ لَمْ يُوضَعْ لِلْبَارِّ، بَلْ لِلْأَثَمَةِ وَٱلْمُتَمَرِّدِينَ، لِلْفُجَّارِ وَٱلْخُطَاةِ، لِلدَّنِسِينَ وَٱلْمُسْتَبِيحِينَ، لِقَاتِلِي ٱلْآبَاءِ وَقَاتِلِي ٱلْأُمَّهَاتِ، لِقَاتِلِي ٱلنَّاسِ،

10 For those who go after loose women, for those with unnatural desires, for those who take men prisoners, who make false statements and false oaths, and those who do any other things against the right teaching,

١٠ لِلزُّنَاةِ، لِمُضَاجِعِي ٱلذُّكُورِ، لِسَارِقِي ٱلنَّاسِ، لِلْكَذَّابِينَ، لِلْحَانِثِينَ، وَإِنْ كَانَ شَيْءٌ آخَرُ يُقَاوِمُ ٱلتَّعْلِيمَ ٱلصَّحِيحَ،

11 Which may be seen in the good news of the glory of the great God, which was given into my care.

١١ حَسَبَ إِنْجِيلِ مَجْدِ ٱللهِ ٱلْمُبَارَكِ ٱلَّذِي ٱؤْتُمِنْتُ أَنَا عَلَيْهِ.

12 I give praise to him who gave me power, Christ Jesus our Lord, because he took me to be true, making me his servant,

١٢ وَأَنَا أَشْكُرُ ٱلْمَسِيحَ يَسُوعَ رَبَّنَا ٱلَّذِي قَوَّانِي، أَنَّهُ حَسِبَنِي أَمِينًا، إِذْ جَعَلَنِي لِلْخِدْمَةِ،

13 Though I had said violent words against God, and done cruel acts, causing great trouble: but I was given mercy, because I did it without knowledge, not having faith;

١٣ أَنَا ٱلَّذِي كُنْتُ قَبْلًا مُجَدِّفًا وَمُضْطَهِدًا وَمُفْتَرِيًا. وَلَكِنَّنِي رُحِمْتُ، لِأَنِّي فَعَلْتُ بِجَهْلٍ فِي عَدَمِ إِيمَانٍ.

14 And the grace of our Lord was very great, with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.

١٤ وَتَفَاضَلَتْ نِعْمَةُ رَبِّنَا جِدًّا مَعَ ٱلْإِيمَانِ وَٱلْمَحَبَّةِ ٱلَّتِي فِي ٱلْمَسِيحِ يَسُوعَ.

15 It is a true saying, in which all may put their faith, that Christ Jesus came into the world to give salvation to sinners, of whom I am the chief:

١٥ صَادِقَةٌ هِيَ ٱلْكَلِمَةُ وَمُسْتَحِقَّةٌ كُلَّ قُبُولٍ: أَنَّ ٱلْمَسِيحَ يَسُوعَ جَاءَ إِلَى ٱلْعَالَمِ لِيُخَلِّصَ ٱلْخُطَاةَ ٱلَّذِينَ أَوَّلُهُمْ أَنَا.

16 But for this reason I was given mercy, so that in me, the chief of sinners, Jesus Christ might make clear all his mercy, as an example to those who in the future would have faith in him to eternal life. (aiōnios g166)

١٦ لَكِنَّنِي لِهَذَا رُحِمْتُ: لِيُظْهِرَ يَسُوعُ ٱلْمَسِيحُ فِيَّ أَنَا أَوَّلًا كُلَّ أَنَاةٍ، مِثَالًا لِلْعَتِيدِينَ أَنْ يُؤْمِنُوا بِهِ لِلْحَيَاةِ ٱلْأَبَدِيَّةِ. (aiōnios g166)

17 Now to the King eternal, ever-living, unseen, the only God, be honour and glory for ever and ever. So be it. (aiōn g165)

١٧ وَمَلِكُ ٱلدُّهُورِ ٱلَّذِي لَا يَفْنَى وَلَا يُرَى، ٱلْإِلَهُ ٱلْحَكِيمُ وَحْدَهُ، لَهُ ٱلْكَرَامَةُ وَٱلْمَجْدُ إِلَى دَهْرِ ٱلدُّهُورِ. آمِينَ. (aiōn g165)

18 This order I give to you, Timothy my son, in harmony with the words of the prophets about you, so that by them you may be strong, fighting the good fight,

١٨ هَذِهِ ٱلْوَصِيَّةُ أَيُّهَا ٱلِٱبْنُ تِيمُوثَاوُسُ أَسْتَوْدِعُكَ إِيَّاهَا حَسَبَ ٱلنُّبُوَّاتِ ٱلَّتِي سَبَقَتْ عَلَيْكَ، لِكَيْ تُحَارِبَ فِيهَا ٱلْمُحَارَبَةَ ٱلْحَسَنَةَ،

19 Keeping faith, and being conscious of well-doing; for some, by not doing these things, have gone wrong in relation to the faith:

١٩ وَلَكَ إِيمَانٌ وَضَمِيرٌ صَالِحٌ، ٱلَّذِي إِذْ رَفَضَهُ قَوْمٌ، ٱنْكَسَرَتْ بِهِمِ ٱلسَّفِينَةُ مِنْ جِهَةِ ٱلْإِيمَانِ أَيْضًا،

20 Such are Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I have given up to Satan, so that they may say no more evil words against God.

٢٠ ٱلَّذِينَ مِنْهُمْ هِيمِينَايُسُ وَٱلْإِسْكَنْدَرُ، ٱللَّذَانِ أَسْلَمْتُهُمَا لِلشَّيْطَانِ لِكَيْ يُؤَدَّبَا حَتَّى لَا يُجَدِّفَا.
