1 Corinthians 9
1 Am I not free? am I not an apostle? have I not seen Jesus our Lord? are not ye my work in the Lord?
| أَلَسْتُ أَنَا رَسُولًا؟ أَلَسْتُ أَنَا حُرًّا؟ أَمَا رَأَيْتُ يَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحَ رَبَّنَا؟ أَلَسْتُمْ أَنْتُمْ عَمَلِي فِي ٱلرَّبِّ؟ | ١ |
2 If to others I am not an apostle, yet at least I am to you; for the seal of mine apostleship are ye in the Lord.
| إِنْ كُنْتُ لَسْتُ رَسُولًا إِلَى آخَرِينَ، فَإِنَّمَا أَنَا إِلَيْكُمْ رَسُولٌ! لِأَنَّكُمْ أَنْتُمْ خَتْمُ رِسَالَتِي فِي ٱلرَّبِّ. | ٢ |
3 My defence to them that examine me is this.
| هَذَا هُوَ ٱحْتِجَاجِي عِنْدَ ٱلَّذِينَ يَفْحَصُونَنِي: | ٣ |
4 Have we no right to eat and to drink?
| أَلَعَلَّنَا لَيْسَ لَنَا سُلْطَانٌ أَنْ نَأْكُلَ وَنَشْرَبَ؟ | ٤ |
5 Have we no right to lead about a wife that is a believer, even as the rest of the apostles, and the brethren of the Lord, and Cephas?
| أَلَعَلَّنَا لَيْسَ لَنَا سُلْطَانٌ أَنْ نَجُولَ بِأُخْتٍ زَوْجَةً كَبَاقِي ٱلرُّسُلِ وَإِخْوَةِ ٱلرَّبِّ وَصَفَا؟ | ٥ |
6 Or I only and Barnabas, have we not a right to forbear working?
| أَمْ أَنَا وَبَرْنَابَا وَحْدَنَا لَيْسَ لَنَا سُلْطَانٌ أَنْ لَا نَشْتَغِلَ؟ | ٦ |
7 What soldier ever serveth at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock?
| مَنْ تَجَنَّدَ قَطُّ بِنَفَقَةِ نَفْسِهِ؟ وَمَنْ يَغْرِسُ كَرْمًا وَمِنْ ثَمَرِهِ لَا يَأْكُلُ؟ أَوْ مَنْ يَرْعَى رَعِيَّةً وَمِنْ لَبَنِ ٱلرَّعِيَّةِ لَا يَأْكُلُ؟ | ٧ |
8 Do I speak these things after the manner of men? or saith not the law also the same?
| أَلَعَلِّي أَتَكَلَّمُ بِهَذَا كَإِنْسَانٍ؟ أَمْ لَيْسَ ٱلنَّامُوسُ أَيْضًا يَقُولُ هَذَا؟ | ٨ |
9 For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the ox when he treadeth out the corn. Is it for the oxen that God careth,
| فَإِنَّهُ مَكْتُوبٌ فِي نَامُوسِ مُوسَى: «لَا تَكُمَّ ثَوْرًا دَارِسًا». أَلَعَلَّ ٱللهَ تُهِمُّهُ ٱلثِّيرَانُ؟ | ٩ |
10 or saith he it altogether for our sake? Yea, for our sake it was written: because he that ploweth ought to plow in hope, and he that thresheth, [to thresh] in hope of partaking.
| أَمْ يَقُولُ مُطْلَقًا مِنْ أَجْلِنَا؟ إِنَّهُ مِنْ أَجْلِنَا مَكْتُوبٌ. لِأَنَّهُ يَنْبَغِي لِلْحَرَّاثِ أَنْ يَحْرُثَ عَلَى رَجَاءٍ، وَلِلدَّارِسِ عَلَى ٱلرَّجَاءِ أَنْ يَكُونَ شَرِيكًا فِي رَجَائِهِ. | ١٠ |
11 If we sowed unto you spiritual things, is it a great matter if we shall reap your carnal things?
| إِنْ كُنَّا نَحْنُ قَدْ زَرَعْنَا لَكُمُ ٱلرُّوحِيَّاتِ، أَفَعَظِيمٌ إِنْ حَصَدْنَا مِنْكُمُ ٱلْجَسَدِيَّاتِ؟ | ١١ |
12 If others partake of [this] right over you, do not we yet more? Nevertheless we did not use this right; but we bear all things, that we may cause no hindrance to the gospel of Christ.
| إِنْ كَانَ آخَرُونَ شُرَكَاءَ فِي ٱلسُّلْطَانِ عَلَيْكُمْ، أَفَلَسْنَا نَحْنُ بِٱلْأَوْلَى؟ لَكِنَّنَا لَمْ نَسْتَعْمِلْ هَذَا ٱلسُّلْطَانَ، بَلْ نَتَحَمَّلُ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ لِئَلَّا نَجْعَلَ عَائِقًا لِإِنْجِيلِ ٱلْمَسِيحِ. | ١٢ |
13 Know ye not that they which minister about sacred things eat [of] the things of the temple, [and] they which wait upon the altar have their portion with the altar?
| أَلَسْتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ أَنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ يَعْمَلُونَ فِي ٱلْأَشْيَاءِ ٱلْمُقَدَّسَةِ، مِنَ ٱلْهَيْكَلِ يَأْكُلُونَ؟ ٱلَّذِينَ يُلَازِمُونَ ٱلْمَذْبَحَ يُشَارِكُونَ ٱلْمَذْبَحَ؟ | ١٣ |
14 Even so did the Lord ordain that they which proclaim the gospel should live of the gospel.
| هَكَذَا أَيْضًا أَمَرَ ٱلرَّبُّ: أَنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ يُنَادُونَ بِٱلْإِنْجِيلِ، مِنَ ٱلْإِنْجِيلِ يَعِيشُونَ. | ١٤ |
15 But I have used none of these things: and I write not these things that it may be so done in my case: for [it were] good for me rather to die, than that any man should make my glorying void.
| أَمَّا أَنَا فَلَمْ أَسْتَعْمِلْ شَيْئًا مِنْ هَذَا، وَلَا كَتَبْتُ هَذَا لِكَيْ يَصِيرَ فِيَّ هَكَذَا. لِأَنَّهُ خَيْرٌ لِي أَنْ أَمُوتَ مِنْ أَنْ يُعَطِّلَ أَحَدٌ فَخْرِي. | ١٥ |
16 For if I preach the gospel, I have nothing to glory of; for necessity is laid upon me; for woe is unto me, if I preach not the gospel.
| لِأَنَّهُ إِنْ كُنْتُ أُبَشِّرُ فَلَيْسَ لِي فَخْرٌ، إِذِ ٱلضَّرُورَةُ مَوْضُوعَةٌ عَلَيَّ، فَوَيْلٌ لِي إِنْ كُنْتُ لَا أُبَشِّرُ. | ١٦ |
17 For if I do this of mine own will, I have a reward: but if not of mine own will, I have a stewardship intrusted to me.
| فَإِنَّهُ إِنْ كُنْتُ أَفْعَلُ هَذَا طَوْعًا فَلِي أَجْرٌ، وَلَكِنْ إِنْ كَانَ كَرْهًا فَقَدِ ٱسْتُؤْمِنْتُ عَلَى وَكَالَةٍ. | ١٧ |
18 What then is my reward? That, when I preach the gospel, I may make the gospel without charge, so as not to use to the full my right in the gospel.
| فَمَا هُوَ أَجْرِي؟ إِذْ وَأَنَا أُبَشِّرُ أَجْعَلُ إِنْجِيلَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ بِلَا نَفَقَةٍ، حَتَّى لَمْ أَسْتَعْمِلْ سُلْطَانِي فِي ٱلْإِنْجِيلِ. | ١٨ |
19 For though I was free from all [men], I brought myself under bondage to all, that I might gain the more.
| فَإِنِّي إِذْ كُنْتُ حُرًّا مِنَ ٱلْجَمِيعِ، ٱسْتَعْبَدْتُ نَفْسِي لِلْجَمِيعِ لِأَرْبَحَ ٱلْأَكْثَرِينَ. | ١٩ |
20 And to the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might gain Jews; to them that are under the law, as under the law, not being myself under the law, that I might gain them that are under the law;
| فَصِرْتُ لِلْيَهُودِ كَيَهُودِيٍّ لِأَرْبَحَ ٱلْيَهُودَ. وَلِلَّذِينَ تَحْتَ ٱلنَّامُوسِ كَأَنِّي تَحْتَ ٱلنَّامُوسِ لِأَرْبَحَ ٱلَّذِينَ تَحْتَ ٱلنَّامُوسِ. | ٢٠ |
21 to them that are without law, as without law, not being without law to God, but under law to Christ, that I might gain them that are without law.
| وَلِلَّذِينَ بِلَا نَامُوسٍ كَأَنِّي بِلَا نَامُوسٍ - مَعَ أَنِّي لَسْتُ بِلَا نَامُوسٍ لِلهِ، بَلْ تَحْتَ نَامُوسٍ لِلْمَسِيحِ - لِأَرْبَحَ ٱلَّذِينَ بِلَا نَامُوسٍ. | ٢١ |
22 To the weak I became weak, that I might gain the weak: I am become all things to all men, that I may by all means save some.
| صِرْتُ لِلضُّعَفَاءِ كَضَعِيفٍ لِأَرْبَحَ ٱلضُّعَفَاءَ. صِرْتُ لِلْكُلِّ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ، لِأُخَلِّصَ عَلَى كُلِّ حَالٍ قَوْمًا. | ٢٢ |
23 And I do all things for the gospel’s sake, that I may be a joint partaker thereof.
| وَهَذَا أَنَا أَفْعَلُهُ لِأَجْلِ ٱلْإِنْجِيلِ، لِأَكُونَ شَرِيكًا فِيهِ. | ٢٣ |
24 Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? Even so run, that ye may attain.
| أَلَسْتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ أَنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ يَرْكُضُونَ فِي ٱلْمَيْدَانِ جَمِيعُهُمْ يَرْكُضُونَ، وَلَكِنَّ وَاحِدًا يَأْخُذُ ٱلْجَعَالَةَ؟ هَكَذَا ٱرْكُضُوا لِكَيْ تَنَالُوا. | ٢٤ |
25 And every man that striveth in the games is temperate in all things. Now they [do it] to receive a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible.
| وَكُلُّ مَنْ يُجَاهِدُ يَضْبُطُ نَفْسَهُ فِي كُلِّ شَيْءٍ. أَمَّا أُولَئِكَ فَلِكَيْ يَأْخُذُوا إِكْلِيلًا يَفْنَى، وَأَمَّا نَحْنُ فَإِكْلِيلًا لَا يَفْنَى. | ٢٥ |
26 I therefore so run, as not uncertainly; so fight I, as not beating the air:
| إِذًا، أَنَا أَرْكُضُ هَكَذَا كَأَنَّهُ لَيْسَ عَنْ غَيْرِ يَقِينٍ. هَكَذَا أُضَارِبُ كَأَنِّي لَا أَضْرِبُ ٱلْهَوَاءَ. | ٢٦ |
27 but I buffet my body, and bring it into bondage: lest by any means, after that I have preached to others, I myself should be rejected.
| بَلْ أَقْمَعُ جَسَدِي وَأَسْتَعْبِدُهُ، حَتَّى بَعْدَ مَا كَرَزْتُ لِلْآخَرِينَ لَا أَصِيرُ أَنَا نَفْسِي مَرْفُوضًا. | ٢٧ |
