< 1 Timothy 1 >

1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus according to the commandment of God our Savior, and Christ Jesus our hope;
مِنْ بُولُسَ، رَسُولِ الْمَسِيحِ يَسُوعَ وَفْقاً لأَمْرِ اللهِ مُخَلِّصِنَا وَالْمَسِيحِ يَسُوعَ رَجَائِنَا،١
2 to Timothy, my true child in faith: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.
إِلَى تِيمُوثَاوُسَ وَلَدِي الْحَقِيقِيِّ فِي الإِيمَانِ. لِتَكُنْ لَكَ النِّعْمَةُ وَالرَّحْمَةُ وَالسَّلامُ مِنَ اللهِ أَبِينَا وَالْمَسِيحِ يَسُوعَ رَبِّنَا!٢
3 As I urged you when I was going into Macedonia, stay at Ephesus that you might command certain people not to teach a different doctrine,
كَمَا أَوْصَيْتُكَ لَمَّا كُنْتُ مُنْطَلِقاً إِلَى مُقَاطَعَةِ مَقِدُونِيَّةَ، (أَطْلُبُ إِلَيْكَ) أَنْ تَبْقَى فِي مَدِينَةِ أَفَسُسَ، لِكَيْ تَمْنَعَ بَعْضَ الْمُعَلِّمِينَ مِنْ نَشْرِ التَّعَالِيمِ الْمُخَالِفَةِ لِلتَّعْلِيمِ الصَّحِيحِ،٣
4 neither to pay attention to myths and endless genealogies, which cause speculation, rather than God's stewardship, which is in faith—
وَتُوصِيَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ أَلَّا يَنْشَغِلُوا بِالأَسَاطِيرِ وَسَلاسِلِ النَّسَبِ الْمُتَشَابِكَةِ. فَتِلْكَ الأُمُورُ تُثِيرُ الْمُجَادَلاتِ وَلا تَعْمَلُ عَلَى تَقَدُّمِ تَدْبِيرِ اللهِ الْقَائِمِ عَلَى الإِيمَانِ.٤
5 but the goal of this command is love, out of a pure heart and a good conscience and sincere faith;
أَمَّا الْغَايَةُ مِمَّا أَوْصَيْتُكَ بِهِ، فَهِيَ الْمَحَبَّةُ النَّابِعَةُ مِنْ قَلْبٍ طَاهِرٍ وَضَمِيرٍ صَالِحٍ وَإِيمَانٍ خَالٍ مِنَ الرِّيَاءِ.٥
6 from which things some, having missed the mark, have turned aside to vain talking;
هَذِهِ الْفَضَائِلُ قَدْ زَاغَ عَنْهَا بَعْضُهُمْ، فَانْحَرَفُوا إِلَى الْمُجَادَلاتِ الْبَاطِلَةِ،٦
7 desiring to be teachers of the law, though they understand neither what they say, nor about what they strongly affirm.
رَاغِبِينَ فِي أَنْ يَكُونُوا أَسَاتِذَةً فِي الشَّرِيعَةِ، وَهُمْ لَا يَفْهَمُونَ مَا يَقُولُونَ وَلا مَا يُقَرِّرُونَ!٧
8 But we know that the law is good, if one uses it lawfully,
إِنَّنَا نَعْلَمُ أَنَّ الشَّرِيعَةَ جَيِّدَةٌ فِي ذَاتِهَا، إِذَا اسْتُعْمِلَتِ اسْتِعْمَالاً شَرْعِيًّا.٨
9 as knowing this, that law is not made for a righteous person, but for the lawless and insubordinate, for the ungodly and sinners, for the unholy and profane, for those who kill their father or mother, for murderers,
إِذْ نُدْرِكُ أَنَّ الشَّرِيعَةَ لَا تُوضَعُ لِمَنْ كَانَ بَارّاً، بَلْ لِلأَشْرَارِ وَالْمُتَمَرِّدِينَ، وَالْفَاجِرِينَ وَالْخَاطِئِينَ، وَالنَّجِسِينَ وَالدَّنِسِينَ، وَقَاتِلِي آبَائِهِمْ وَأُمَّهَاتِهِمْ، وَقَاتِلِي النَّاسِ،٩
10 for the sexually immoral, for men who have sexual relations with men, for kidnappers, for liars, for perjurers, and for whatever else is contrary to sound teaching;
وَالزُّنَاةِ وَمُضَاجِعِي الذُّكُورِ، وَخَطَّافِي النَّاسِ وَالْكَذَّابِينَ وَشَاهِدِي الزُّورِ. وَذَوِي كُلِّ شَرٍّ آخَرَ يُخَالِفُ التَّعْلِيمَ الصَّحِيحَ١٠
11 according to the Good News of the glory of the blessed God, which was committed to my trust.
الْمُوَافِقَ لإِنْجِيلِ مَجْدِ اللهِ الْمُبَارَكِ، ذَلِكَ الإِنْجِيلِ الَّذِي وُضِعَ أَمَانَةً بَيْنَ يَدَيَّ.١١
12 And I thank him who enabled me, Christ Jesus our Lord, because he counted me faithful, appointing me to service;
وَكَمْ أَشْكُرُ الْمَسِيحَ يَسُوعَ رَبَّنَا الَّذِي أَعْطَانِي الْقُدْرَةَ وَعَيَّنَنِي خَادِماً لَهُ، إِذِ اعْتَبَرَنِي جَدِيراً بِثِقَتِهِ،١٢
13 although I was before a blasphemer, a persecutor, and insolent. However, I obtained mercy, because I did it ignorantly in unbelief.
مَعَ أَنِّي كُنْتُ فِي الْمَاضِي مُجَدِّفاً عَلَيْهِ، وَمُضْطَهِداً وَمُهِيناً لَهُ! وَلَكِنِّي عُومِلْتُ بِالرَّحْمَةِ، لأَنِّي عَمِلْتُ مَا عَمِلْتُهُ عَنْ جَهْلٍ وَفِي عَدَمِ إِيمَانٍ.١٣
14 The grace of our Lord abounded exceedingly with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.
إِلَّا أَنَّ نِعْمَةَ رَبِّنَا قَدْ فَاضَتْ عَلَيَّ فَوْقَ كُلِّ حَدٍّ، وَمَعَهَا الإِيمَانُ وَالْمَحَبَّةُ، وَذَلِكَ فِي الْمَسِيحِ يَسُوعَ.١٤
15 The saying is faithful and worthy of all acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief.
مَا أَصْدَقَ هَذَا الْقَوْلَ، وَمَا أَجْدَرَهُ بِالتَّصْدِيقِ الْكُلِّيِّ: إِنَّ الْمَسِيحَ يَسُوعَ قَدْ جَاءَ إِلَى الْعَالَمِ لِيُخَلِّصَ الْخَاطِئِينَ، وَأَنَا أَوَّلُهُمْ!١٥
16 However, for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me first, Jesus Christ might display all his patience, for an example of those who were going to believe in him for everlasting life. (aiōnios g166)
وَلَكِنْ لِهَذَا السَّبَبِ عُومِلْتُ بِالرَّحْمَةِ، لِيَجْعَلَ يَسُوعُ الْمَسِيحُ مِنِّي، أَنَا أَوَّلاً، مِثَالاً يُظْهِرُ صَبْرَهُ الطَّوِيلَ، لِجَمِيعِ الَّذِينَ سَيُؤْمِنُونَ بِهِ لِنَوَالِ الْحَيَاةِ الأَبَدِيَّةِ. (aiōnios g166)١٦
17 Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
فَلِلْمَلِكِ الأَزَلِيِّ، اللهِ الْوَاحِدِ غَيْرِ الْمَنْظُورِ وَغَيْرِ الْفَانِي، الْكَرَامَةُ وَالْمَجْدُ إِلَى أَبَدِ الآبِدِينَ. آمِين! (aiōn g165)١٧
18 This instruction I commit to you, my child Timothy, according to the prophecies which led the way to you, that by them you may wage the good warfare;
هذِهِ التَّوْصِيَاتُ، يَا تِيمُوثَاوُسُ وَلَدِي، أُسَلِّمُهَا لَكَ، بِمُقْتَضَى النُّبُوآتِ السَّابِقَةِ الْمُخْتَصَّةِ بِكَ، وَغَايَتِي أَنْ تُحْسِنَ الْجِهَادَ فِي حَرْبِكَ الرُّوحِيَّةِ،١٨
19 holding faith and a good conscience; which some having thrust away made a shipwreck concerning the faith;
مُتَمَسِّكاً بِالإِيمَانِ، وَبِالضَّمِيرِ الصَّالِحِ، هَذَا الضَّمِيرِ الَّذِي تَخَلَّى عَنْهُ بَعْضُهُمْ، فَانْكَسَرَتْ بِهِمْ سَفِينَةُ الإِيمَانِ.١٩
20 of whom is Hymenaeus and Alexander; whom I delivered to Satan, that they might be taught not to blaspheme.
وَمِنْ هؤُلاءِ هِمِنَايُوسُ وَإِسْكَنْدَرُ، وَقَدْ سَلَّمْتُهُمَا إِلَى الشَّيْطَانِ لِيتَعَلَّمَا بِالتَّأْدِيبِ أَلَّا يُجَدِّفَا.٢٠
