1 Corinthians 3
1 But I, Brothers, could not speak to you as men with spiritual insight, but only as worldly-minded — mere infants in the Faith of Christ.
| وَأَنَا أَيُّهَا ٱلْإِخْوَةُ لَمْ أَسْتَطِعْ أَنْ أُكَلِّمَكُمْ كَرُوحِيِّينَ، بَلْ كَجَسَدِيِّينَ كَأَطْفَالٍ فِي ٱلْمَسِيحِ، | ١ |
2 I fed you with milk, not with solid food, for you were not then able to take it. No, and even now you are not able; you are still worldly.
| سَقَيْتُكُمْ لَبَنًا لَا طَعَامًا، لِأَنَّكُمْ لَمْ تَكُونُوا بَعْدُ تَسْتَطِيعُونَ، بَلِ ٱلْآنَ أَيْضًا لَا تَسْتَطِيعُونَ، | ٢ |
3 While there exist among you jealousy and party feeling, is it not true that you are worldly, and are acting merely as other men do?
| لِأَنَّكُمْ بَعْدُ جَسَدِيُّونَ. فَإِنَّهُ إِذْ فِيكُمْ حَسَدٌ وَخِصَامٌ وَٱنْشِقَاقٌ، أَلَسْتُمْ جَسَدِيِّينَ وَتَسْلُكُونَ بِحَسَبِ ٱلْبَشَرِ؟ | ٣ |
4 When one says ‘I follow Paul,’ and another ‘I follow Apollos,’ are not you like other men?
| لِأَنَّهُ مَتَى قَالَ وَاحِدٌ: «أَنَا لِبُولُسَ» وَآخَرُ: «أَنَا لِأَبُلُّوسَ» أَفَلَسْتُمْ جَسَدِيِّينَ؟ | ٤ |
5 What, I ask, is Apollos? or what is Paul? Servants through whom you were led to accept the Faith; and that only as the Lord helped each of you.
| فَمَنْ هُوَ بُولُسُ؟ وَمَنْ هُوَ أَبُلُّوسُ؟ بَلْ خَادِمَانِ آمَنْتُمْ بِوَاسِطَتِهِمَا، وَكَمَا أَعْطَى ٱلرَّبُّ لِكُلِّ وَاحِدٍ: | ٥ |
6 I planted, and Apollos watered, but it was God who caused the growth.
| أَنَا غَرَسْتُ وَأَبُلُّوسُ سَقَى، لَكِنَّ ٱللهَ كَانَ يُنْمِي. | ٦ |
7 Therefore neither the man who plants, nor the man who waters, is of any account, but only God who causes the growth.
| إِذًا لَيْسَ ٱلْغَارِسُ شَيْئًا وَلَا ٱلسَّاقِي، بَلِ ٱللهُ ٱلَّذِي يُنْمِي. | ٧ |
8 In this the man who plants and the man who waters are one; yet each will receive his own reward in proportion to his own labour.
| وَٱلْغَارِسُ وَٱلسَّاقِي هُمَا وَاحِدٌ، وَلَكِنَّ كُلَّ وَاحِدٍ سَيَأْخُذُ أُجْرَتَهُ بِحَسَبِ تَعَبِهِ. | ٨ |
9 For we are God’s fellow workers; you are God’s harvest field, God’s building.
| فَإِنَّنَا نَحْنُ عَامِلَانِ مَعَ ٱللهِ، وَأَنْتُمْ فَلَاحَةُ ٱللهِ، بِنَاءُ ٱللهِ. | ٩ |
10 In fulfilment of the charge which God had entrusted to me, I laid the foundation like a skilful master-builder; but another man is now building upon it. Let every one take care how he builds;
| حَسَبَ نِعْمَةِ ٱللهِ ٱلْمُعْطَاةِ لِي كَبَنَّاءٍ حَكِيمٍ قَدْ وَضَعْتُ أَسَاسًا، وَآخَرُ يَبْنِي عَلَيْهِ. وَلَكِنْ فَلْيَنْظُرْ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ كَيْفَ يَبْنِي عَلَيْهِ. | ١٠ |
11 for no man can lay any other foundation than the one already laid — Jesus Christ.
| فَإِنَّهُ لَا يَسْتَطِيعُ أَحَدٌ أَنْ يَضَعَ أَسَاسًا آخَرَ غَيْرَ ٱلَّذِي وُضِعَ، ٱلَّذِي هُوَ يَسُوعُ ٱلْمَسِيحُ. | ١١ |
12 Whatever is used by those who build upon this foundation, whether gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay, or straw,
| وَلَكِنْ إِنْ كَانَ أَحَدُ يَبْنِي عَلَى هَذَا ٱلْأَسَاسِ: ذَهَبًا، فِضَّةً، حِجَارَةً كَرِيمَةً، خَشَبًا، عُشْبًا، قَشًّا، | ١٢ |
13 the quality of each man’s work will become known, for the Day will make it plain; because that Day is to be ushered in with fire, and the fire itself will test the quality of every man’s work.
| فَعَمَلُ كُلِّ وَاحِدٍ سَيَصِيرُ ظَاهِرًا لِأَنَّ ٱلْيَوْمَ سَيُبَيِّنُهُ. لِأَنَّهُ بِنَارٍ يُسْتَعْلَنُ، وَسَتَمْتَحِنُ ٱلنَّارُ عَمَلَ كُلِّ وَاحِدٍ مَا هُوَ. | ١٣ |
14 If any man’s work, which he has built upon that foundation, still remains, he will gain a reward.
| إِنْ بَقِيَ عَمَلُ أَحَدٍ قَدْ بَنَاهُ عَلَيْهِ فَسَيَأْخُذُ أُجْرَةً. | ١٤ |
15 If any man’s work is burnt up, he will suffer loss; though he himself will escape, but only as one who has passed through fire.
| إِنِ ٱحْتَرَقَ عَمَلُ أَحَدٍ فَسَيَخْسَرُ، وَأَمَّا هُوَ فَسَيَخْلُصُ، وَلَكِنْ كَمَا بِنَارٍ. | ١٥ |
16 Do not you know that you are God’s Temple, and that God’s Spirit has his home in you?
| أَمَا تَعْلَمُونَ أَنَّكُمْ هَيْكَلُ ٱللهِ، وَرُوحُ ٱللهِ يَسْكُنُ فِيكُمْ؟ | ١٦ |
17 If any one destroys the Temple of God, God will destroy him; for the Temple of God is sacred, and so also are you.
| إِنْ كَانَ أَحَدٌ يُفْسِدُ هَيْكَلَ ٱللهِ فَسَيُفْسِدُهُ ٱللهُ، لِأَنَّ هَيْكَلَ ٱللهِ مُقَدَّسٌ ٱلَّذِي أَنْتُمْ هُوَ. | ١٧ |
18 Let no one deceive himself. If any one among you imagines that, as regards this world, he is a wise man, let him become a ‘fool,’ that he may become wise. (aiōn g165)
| لَا يَخْدَعَنَّ أَحَدٌ نَفْسَهُ. إِنْ كَانَ أَحَدٌ يَظُنُّ أَنَّهُ حَكِيمٌ بَيْنَكُمْ فِي هَذَا ٱلدَّهْرِ، فَلْيَصِرْ جَاهِلًا لِكَيْ يَصِيرَ حَكِيمًا! (aiōn g165) | ١٨ |
19 For in God’s sight this world’s wisdom is folly. Scripture tells of — ‘One who catches the wise in their own craftiness,’
| لِأَنَّ حِكْمَةَ هَذَا ٱلْعَالَمِ هِيَ جَهَالَةٌ عِنْدَ ٱللهِ، لِأَنَّهُ مَكْتُوبٌ: «ٱلْآخِذُ ٱلْحُكَمَاءَ بِمَكْرِهِمْ». | ١٩ |
20 And it says again — ‘The Lord sees how fruitless are the deliberations of the wise.’
| وَأَيْضًا: «ٱلرَّبُّ يَعْلَمُ أَفْكَارَ ٱلْحُكَمَاءِ أَنَّهَا بَاطِلَةٌ». | ٢٠ |
21 Therefore let no one boast about men; for all things are yours —
| إِذًا لَا يَفْتَخِرَنَّ أَحَدٌ بِٱلنَّاسِ! فَإِنَّ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ لَكُمْ: | ٢١ |
22 Whether Paul, or Apollos, or Kephas, or the world, or life, or death, or the present, or the future — all things are yours!
| أَبُولُسُ، أَمْ أَبُلُّوسُ، أَمْ صَفَا، أَمِ ٱلْعَالَمُ، أَمِ ٱلْحَيَاةُ، أَمِ ٱلْمَوْتُ، أَمِ ٱلْأَشْيَاءُ ٱلْحَاضِرَةُ، أَمِ ٱلْمُسْتَقْبِلَةُ. كُلُّ شَيْءٍ لَكُمْ. | ٢٢ |
23 But you are Christ’s and Christ is God’s.
| وَأَمَّا أَنْتُمْ فَلِلْمَسِيحِ، وَٱلْمَسِيحُ لِلهِ. | ٢٣ |
