< 1 Timothy 4 >

1 But the Spirit says expressly that in later times some will fall away from the faith, paying attention to seducing spirits and doctrines of demons,
إِلَّا أَنَّ الرُّوحَ يُعْلِنُ صَرَاحَةً أَنَّ قَوْماً فِي الأَزْمِنَةِ الأَخِيرَةِ سَوْفَ يَرْتَدُّونَ عَنِ الإِيمَانِ، مُنْسَاقِينَ وَرَاءَ أَرْوَاحٍ مُضَلِّلَةٍ وَتَعَالِيمَ شَيْطَانِيَّةٍ،١
2 through the hypocrisy of liars, branded in their own conscience as with a hot iron;
فِي مَوْجَةِ رِيَاءٍ يَنْشُرُهَا مُعَلِّمُونَ دَجَّالُونَ لَهُمْ ضَمَائِرُ كُوِيَتْ بِالنَّارِ.٢
3 forbidding marriage and commanding to abstain from foods which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth.
يُحَرِّمُونَ الزَّوَاجَ، وَيَأْمُرُونَ بِالامْتِنَاعِ عَنْ أَطْعِمَةٍ خَلَقَهَا اللهُ لِيَتَنَاوَلَهَا الْمُؤْمِنُونَ وَعَارِفُو الْحَقِّ شَاكِرِينَ.٣
4 For every creature of God is good, and nothing is to be rejected, if it is received with thanksgiving.
فَإِنَّ كُلَّ مَا خَلَقَهُ اللهُ جَيِّدٌ، وَلا شَيْءَ مِنْهُ يُرْفَضُ إِذَا تَنَاوَلَهُ الإِنْسَانُ شَاكِراً؛٤
5 For it is sanctified through the word of God and prayer.
لأَنَّهُ يَصِيرُ مُقَدَّساً بِكَلِمَةِ اللهِ وَالصَّلاةِ.٥
6 If you instruct the brothers of these things, you will be a good servant of Christ Jesus, nourished in the words of the faith, and of the good doctrine which you have followed.
إِنْ بَسَطْتَ هَذِهِ الأُمُورَ أَمَامَ الإِخْوَةِ، كُنْتَ خَادِماً صَالِحاً لِلْمَسِيحِ يَسُوعَ، مُتَغَذِّياً بِكَلامِ الإِيمَانِ وَالتَّعْلِيمِ الصَّالِحِ الَّذِي اتَّبَعْتَهُ تَمَاماً.٦
7 But have nothing to do with irreverent and silly myths. And train yourself for godliness.
أَمَّا أَسَاطِيرُ الْعَجَائِزِ الْمُبْتَذَلَةُ، فَتَجَنَّبْهَا. إِنَّمَا مَرِّنْ نَفْسَكَ فِي طَرِيقِ التَّقْوَى.٧
8 For bodily exercise has some value, but godliness has value in all things, having the promise of the life which is now, and of that which is to come.
فَالرِّيَاضَةُ الْبَدَنِيَّةُ نَافِعَةٌ بَعْضَ الشَّيْءِ. أَمَّا التَّقْوَى فَنَافِعَةٌ لِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ، لأَنَّ فِيهَا وَعْداً بِالْحَيَاةِ الْحَاضِرَةِ وَالآتِيَةِ.٨
9 This saying is faithful and worthy of all acceptance.
مَا أَصْدَقَ هَذَا الْقَوْلَ، وَمَا أَجْدَرَهُ بِالتَّصْدِيقِ!٩
10 For to this end we both labor and strive, because we have set our trust in the living God, who is the Savior of all people, especially of those who believe.
فَإِنَّنَا لأَجْلِ هَذَا نَعْمَلُ بِاجْتِهَادٍ وَنُقَاسِي التَّعْيِيرَ، لأَنَّنَا وَضَعْنَا رَجَاءَنَا فِي اللهِ الْحَيِّ، حَافِظِ جَمِيعِ النَّاسِ، وَبِالأَخَصِّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ.١٠
11 Command and teach these things.
أَوْصِ بِهذِهِ الأُمُورِ وَعَلِّمْ!١١
12 Let no one despise your youth; but be an example to those who believe, in word, in your way of life, in love, in faith, and in purity.
لَا يَسْتَخِفْ أَحَدٌ بِحَدَاثَةِ سِنِّكَ. وَإِنَّمَا كُنْ قُدْوَةً لِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ، فِي الْكَلامِ وَالسُّلُوكِ وَالْمَحَبَّةِ وَالإِيمَانِ وَالطَّهَارَةِ.١٢
13 Until I come, pay attention to reading, to exhortation, and to teaching.
إِلَى حِينِ وُصُولِي، انْصَرِفْ إِلَى قِرَاءَةِ الْكِتَابِ، وَإِلَى الْوَعْظِ، وَإِلَى التَّعْلِيمِ.١٣
14 Do not neglect the gift that is in you, which was given to you by prophecy, with the laying on of the hands of the elders.
لَا تُهْمِلِ الْمَوْهِبَةَ الْخَاصَّةَ الَّتِي فِيكَ، الَّتِي أُعْطِيَتْ لَكَ بِالتَّنَبُّوءِ وَوَضْعِ الشُّيُوخِ أَيْدِيَهُمْ عَلَيْكَ.١٤
15 Be diligent in these things. Give yourself wholly to them, that your progress may be revealed to all.
انْصَرِفْ إِلَى هذِهِ الأُمُورِ، وَانْشَغِلْ بِها كُلِّيًّا، لِيَكُونَ تَقَدُّمُكَ وَاضِحاً لِلْجَمِيعِ.١٥
16 Pay attention to yourself, and to your teaching. Continue in these things, for in doing this you will save both yourself and those who hear you.
انْتَبِهْ جَيِّداً لِنَفْسِكَ وَلِلتَّعْلِيمِ. فَإِنَّكَ إِذْ تُوَاظِبُ عَلَى ذَلِكَ، تُنْقِذُ نَفْسَكَ وَسَامِعِيكَ أَيْضاً.١٦
