< 1 Peter 4 >

1 Christ therefore having suffered in the flesh, be you also armed with the same thought: for he that hath suffered in the flesh, hath ceased from sins:
فَبِمَا أَنَّ الْمَسِيحَ قَدْ تَحَمَّلَ الآلامَ الْجِسْمِيَّةَ لأَجْلِكُمْ، سَلِّحُوا أَنْفُسَكُمْ بِالاسْتِعْدَادِ دَائِماً لِتَحَمُّلِ الآلامِ. فَإِنَّ مَنْ يَتَحَمَّلُ الآلامَ الْجِسْمِيَّةَ، يَكُونُ قَدْ قَاطَعَ الْخَطِيئَةَ.١
2 That now he may live the rest of his time in the flesh, not after the desires of men, but according to the will of God.
وَغَايَتُهُ أَنْ يَعِيشَ بَقِيَّةَ عُمْرِهِ فِي الْجَسَدِ، مُنْقَاداً لَا لِشْهَوَاتِ النَّاسِ، بَلْ لإِرَادَةِ اللهِ.٢
3 For the time past is sufficient to have fulfilled the will of the Gentiles, for them who have walked in riotousness, lusts, excess of wine, revellings, banquetings, and unlawful worshipping of idols.
كَفَاكُمْ ذَلِكَ الزَّمَانُ الْمَاضِي مِنْ حَيَاتِكُمْ، لِتَكُونُوا قَدْ سَلَكْتُمْ سُلُوكَ الْوَثَنِيِّينَ، حِينَ كُنْتُمْ تَعِيشُونَ فِي الدَّعَارَةِ وَالشَّهْوَاتِ وَإِدْمَانِ الْخَمْرِ، وَحَفَلاتِ السُّكْرِ وَالْعَرْبَدَةِ، وَعِبَادَةِ الأَصْنَامِ الْمُحَرَّمَةِ.٣
4 Wherein they think it strange, that you run not with them into the same confusion of riotousness, speaking evil of you.
وَرِفَاقُكُمْ فِي تِلْكَ الْعِيشَةِ سَابِقاً يَسْتَغْرِبُونَ أَنَّكُمْ لَا تَرْكُضُونَ مَعَهُمْ إِلَى فَيْضِ هذِهِ الْخَلاعَةِ، وَيُجَرِّحُونَ سُمْعَتَكُمْ.٤
5 Who shall render account to him, who is ready to judge the living and the dead.
لكِنَّهُمْ سَوْفَ يُؤَدُّونَ الْحِسَابَ أَمَامَ الْمُسْتَعِدِّ أَنْ يَدِينَ الأَحْيَاءَ وَالأَمْوَاتَ.٥
6 For, for this cause was the gospel preached also to the dead: that they might be judged indeed according to men, in the flesh; but may live according to God, in the Spirit.
وَلِهَذَا أُبْلِغَتِ الْبِشَارَةُ إِلَى الأَمْوَاتِ أَيْضاً لِكَيْ يَكُونُوا دَائِماً أَحْيَاءَ بِالرُّوحِ عِنْدَ اللهِ، مَعَ أَنَّ حُكْمَ الْمَوْتِ قَدْ نُفِّذَ بِأَجْسَادِهِمْ، فَمَاتُوا كَغَيْرِهِمْ مِنَ النَّاسِ.٦
7 But the end of all is at hand. Be prudent therefore, and watch in prayers.
إِنَّ نِهَايَةَ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدْ صَارَتْ قَرِيبَةً. فَتَعَقَّلُوا إِذَنْ، وَكُونُوا مُتَنَبِّهِينَ لِرَفْعِ الصَّلاةِ دَائِماً.٧
8 But before all things have a constant mutual charity among yourselves: for charity covereth a multitude of sins.
لَكِنَّ أَهَمَّ شَيْءٍ هُوَ أَنْ تُبَادِلُوا بَعْضُكُمْ بَعْضاً الْمَحَبَّةَ الشَّدِيدَةَ. لأَنَّ الْمَحَبَّةَ تَسْتُرُ إِسَاءَاتٍ كَثِيرَةً.٨
9 Using hospitality one towards another, without murmuring,
وَمَارِسُوا الضِّيَافَةَ بَعْضُكُمْ نَحْوَ بَعْضٍ بِلا تَذَمُّرٍ.٩
10 As every man hath received grace, ministering the same one to another: as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.
وَعَلَى كُلِّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْكُمْ أَنْ يَخْدِمَ الآخَرِينَ بِالْمَوْهِبَةِ الَّتِي أَعْطَاهُ اللهُ إِيَّاهَا، بِاعْتِبَارِكُمْ وُكَلاءَ صَالِحِينَ مُؤْتَمَنِينَ عَلَى أَنْوَاعٍ مُتَعَدِّدَةٍ مِنَ الْمَوَاهِبِ الَّتِي يَمْنَحُهَا اللهُ بِالنِّعْمَةِ.١٠
11 If any man speak, let him speak, as the words of God. If any man minister, let him do it, as of the power, which God administereth: that in all things God may be honoured through Jesus Christ: to whom is glory and empire for ever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
فَمَنْ يَتَكَلَّمُ، عَلَيْهِ أَنْ يَتَكَلَّمَ بِمَا يُوَافِقُ أَقْوَالَ اللهِ؛ وَمَنْ يَخْدِمُ، عَلَيْهِ أَنْ يَخْدِمَ بِمُوجِبِ الْقُوَّةِ الَّتِي يَمْنَحُهَا اللهُ. وَذَلِكَ لِكَيْ يَتَمَجَّدَ اللهُ فِي كُلِّ شَيْءٍ، بِيَسُوعَ الْمَسِيحِ، لَهُ الْمَجْدُ وَالسُّلْطَةُ إِلَى أَبَدِ الآبِدِينَ. آمِينَ! (aiōn g165)١١
12 Dearly beloved, think not strange the burning heat which is to try you, as if some new thing happened to you;
أَيُّهَا الأَحِبَّاءُ، لَا تَسْتَغْرِبُوا نَارَ الاضْطِهَادِ الْمُشْتَعِلَةَ عِنْدَكُمْ لاِخْتِبَارِكُمْ وَكَأَنَّ أَمْراً غَرِيباً قَدْ أَصَابَكُمْ!١٢
13 But if you partake of the sufferings of Christ, rejoice that when his glory shall be revealed, you may also be glad with exceeding joy.
وَإِنَّمَا افْرَحُوا: لأَنَّكُمْ كَمَا تُشَارِكُونَ الْمَسِيحَ فِي الآلامِ الآنَ، لابُدَّ أَنْ تَفْرَحُوا بِمُشَارَكَتِهِ فِي الابْتِهَاجِ عِنْدَ ظُهُورِ مَجْدِهِ.١٣
14 If you be reproached for the name of Christ, you shall be blessed: for that which is of the honour, glory, and power of God, and that which is his Spirit, resteth upon you.
فَإِذَا لَحِقَتْكُمُ الإِهَانَةُ لأَنَّكُمْ تَحْمِلُونَ اسْمَ الْمَسِيحِ، فَطُوبَى لَكُمْ! لأَنَّ رُوحَ الْمَجْدِ، أَيْ رُوحَ اللهِ، يَسْتَقِرُّ عَلَيْكُمْ.١٤
15 But let none of you suffer as a murderer, or a thief, or a railer, or a coveter of other men’s things.
لَا يَكُنْ بَيْنَكُمْ مَنْ يَتَأَلَّمُ عِقَاباً عَلَى شَرٍّ ارْتَكَبَهُ: كَالْقَتْلِ أَوِ السَّرِقَةِ، أَوْ غَيْرِهِمَا مِنَ الْجَرَائِمِ، أَوِ التَّدَخُّلِ فِي شُؤُونِ الآخَرِينَ.١٥
16 But if as a Christian, let him not be ashamed, but let him glorify God in that name.
وَلَكِنْ إِنْ تَأَلَّمَ أَحَدُكُمْ لأَنَّهُ «مَسِيحِيٌّ»، فَعَلَيْهِ أَلّا يَخْجَلَ، بَلْ أَنْ يُمَجِّدَ اللهَ لأَجْلِ هَذَا الاِسْمِ!١٦
17 For the time is, that judgment should begin at the house of God. And if first at us, what shall be the end of them that believe not the gospel of God?
حَقّاً إِنَّ الْوَقْتَ قَدْ حَانَ لِيَبْتَدِئَ الْقَضَاءُ بِأَهْلِ بَيْتِ اللهِ. فَإِنْ كَانَ الْقَضَاءُ يَبْدَأُ بِنَا أَوَّلاً، فَمَا مَصِيرُ الَّذِينَ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِإِنْجِيلِ اللهِ؟١٧
18 And if the just man shall scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?
وَإِنْ كَانَ الْبَارُّ يَخْلُصُ بِجَهْدٍ، فَمَاذَا يَحْدُثُ لِلشِّرِّيرِ وَالْخَاطِئِ؟١٨
19 Wherefore let them also that suffer according to the will of God, commend their souls in good deeds to the faithful Creator.
إِذَنْ، عَلَى الَّذِينَ يَتَأَلَّمُونَ وَفْقاً لإِرَادَةِ اللهِ، أَنْ يُسَلِّمُوا أَنْفُسَهُمْ لِلْخَالِقِ الأَمِينِ، وَيُوَاظِبُوا عَلَى عَمَلِ الصَّلاحِ!١٩
