< 1 Peter 4 >

1 Forasmuch then as Christ suffered in the flesh, arm ye yourselves also with the same mind; for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sin;
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 ye no longer should live the rest of your time in the flesh to the lusts of men, but 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 may suffice to have wrought the desire of the Gentiles, and to have walked in lasciviousness, lusts, winebibbings, revellings, carousings, and abominable idolatries:
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 ye run not with [them] into the same excess of riot, speaking evil of [you]:
وَرِفَاقُكُمْ فِي تِلْكَ الْعِيشَةِ سَابِقاً يَسْتَغْرِبُونَ أَنَّكُمْ لَا تَرْكُضُونَ مَعَهُمْ إِلَى فَيْضِ هذِهِ الْخَلاعَةِ، وَيُجَرِّحُونَ سُمْعَتَكُمْ.٤
5 who shall give account to him that is ready to judge the quick and the dead.
لكِنَّهُمْ سَوْفَ يُؤَدُّونَ الْحِسَابَ أَمَامَ الْمُسْتَعِدِّ أَنْ يَدِينَ الأَحْيَاءَ وَالأَمْوَاتَ.٥
6 For unto this end was the gospel preached even to the dead, that they might be judged according to men in the flesh, but 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 things is at hand: be ye therefore of sound mind, and be sober unto prayer:
إِنَّ نِهَايَةَ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدْ صَارَتْ قَرِيبَةً. فَتَعَقَّلُوا إِذَنْ، وَكُونُوا مُتَنَبِّهِينَ لِرَفْعِ الصَّلاةِ دَائِماً.٧
8 above all things being fervent in your love among yourselves; for love 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 to another without murmuring:
وَمَارِسُوا الضِّيَافَةَ بَعْضُكُمْ نَحْوَ بَعْضٍ بِلا تَذَمُّرٍ.٩
10 according as each hath received a gift, ministering it among yourselves, 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 speaketh, [speaking] as it were oracles of God; if any man ministereth, [ministering] as of the strength which God supplieth: that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, whose is the glory and the dominion 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 Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial among you, which cometh upon you to prove you, as though a strange thing happened unto you:
أَيُّهَا الأَحِبَّاءُ، لَا تَسْتَغْرِبُوا نَارَ الاضْطِهَادِ الْمُشْتَعِلَةَ عِنْدَكُمْ لاِخْتِبَارِكُمْ وَكَأَنَّ أَمْراً غَرِيباً قَدْ أَصَابَكُمْ!١٢
13 but insomuch as ye are partakers of Christ’s sufferings, rejoice; that at the revelation of his glory also ye may rejoice with exceeding joy.
وَإِنَّمَا افْرَحُوا: لأَنَّكُمْ كَمَا تُشَارِكُونَ الْمَسِيحَ فِي الآلامِ الآنَ، لابُدَّ أَنْ تَفْرَحُوا بِمُشَارَكَتِهِ فِي الابْتِهَاجِ عِنْدَ ظُهُورِ مَجْدِهِ.١٣
14 If ye are reproached for the name of Christ, blessed [are ye]; because the [Spirit] of glory and the Spirit of God resteth upon you.
فَإِذَا لَحِقَتْكُمُ الإِهَانَةُ لأَنَّكُمْ تَحْمِلُونَ اسْمَ الْمَسِيحِ، فَطُوبَى لَكُمْ! لأَنَّ رُوحَ الْمَجْدِ، أَيْ رُوحَ اللهِ، يَسْتَقِرُّ عَلَيْكُمْ.١٤
15 For let none of you suffer as a murderer, or a thief, or an evil-doer, or as a meddler in other men’s matters:
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 [a man suffer] as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God in this name.
وَلَكِنْ إِنْ تَأَلَّمَ أَحَدُكُمْ لأَنَّهُ «مَسِيحِيٌّ»، فَعَلَيْهِ أَلّا يَخْجَلَ، بَلْ أَنْ يُمَجِّدَ اللهَ لأَجْلِ هَذَا الاِسْمِ!١٦
17 For the time [is come] for judgment to begin at the house of God: and if [it begin] first at us, what [shall be] the end of them that obey 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 righteous is scarcely saved, where shall the ungodly and 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 commit their souls in well-doing unto a faithful Creator.
إِذَنْ، عَلَى الَّذِينَ يَتَأَلَّمُونَ وَفْقاً لإِرَادَةِ اللهِ، أَنْ يُسَلِّمُوا أَنْفُسَهُمْ لِلْخَالِقِ الأَمِينِ، وَيُوَاظِبُوا عَلَى عَمَلِ الصَّلاحِ!١٩
