١ كورنثوس 7

١ 1 وَأَمَّا مِنْ جِهَةِ ٱلْأُمُورِ ٱلَّتِي كَتَبْتُمْ لِي عَنْهَا: فَحَسَنٌ لِلرَّجُلِ أَنْ لَا يَمَسَّ ٱمْرَأَةً.

Now concerning the things of which ye wrote to me: It is good for a man not to touch a woman.

٢ 2 وَلَكِنْ لِسَبَبِ ٱلزِّنَا، لِيَكُنْ لِكُلِّ وَاحِدٍ ٱمْرَأَتُهُ، وَلْيَكُنْ لِكُلِّ وَاحِدَةٍ رَجُلُهَا.

Nevertheless, to avoid immorality, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband.

٣ 3 لِيُوفِ ٱلرَّجُلُ ٱلْمَرْأَةَ حَقَّهَا ٱلْوَاجِبَ، وَكَذَلِكَ ٱلْمَرْأَةُ أَيْضًا ٱلرَّجُلَ.

Let the husband render to the wife her due benevolence: and likewise also the wife to the husband.

٤ 4 لَيْسَ لِلْمَرْأَةِ تَسَلُّطٌ عَلَى جَسَدِهَا، بَلْ لِلرَّجُلِ. وَكَذَلِكَ ٱلرَّجُلُ أَيْضًا لَيْسَ لَهُ تَسَلُّطٌ عَلَى جَسَدِهِ، بَلْ لِلْمَرْأَةِ.

The wife hath not power of her own body, but the husband: and likewise also the husband hath not power of his own body, but the wife.

٥ 5 لَا يَسْلُبْ أَحَدُكُمُ ٱلْآخَرَ، إِلَّا أَنْ يَكُونَ عَلَى مُوافَقَةٍ، إِلَى حِينٍ، لِكَيْ تَتَفَرَّغُوا لِلصَّوْمِ وَٱلصَّلَاةِ، ثُمَّ تَجْتَمِعُوا أَيْضًا مَعًا لِكَيْ لَا يُجَرِّبَكُمُ ٱلشَّيْطَانُ لِسَبَبِ عَدَمِ نَزَاهَتِكُمْ.

Defraud ye not one the other, except it be with consent for a time, that ye may give yourselves to fasting and prayer; and come together again, that Satan may not tempt you for your lack of self-control.

٦ 6 وَلَكِنْ أَقُولُ هَذَا عَلَى سَبِيلِ ٱلْإِذْنِ لَا عَلَى سَبِيلِ ٱلْأَمْرِ.

But I speak this by permission, and not as a commandment.

٧ 7 لِأَنِّي أُرِيدُ أَنْ يَكُونَ جَمِيعُ ٱلنَّاسِ كَمَا أَنَا. لَكِنَّ كُلَّ وَاحِدٍ لَهُ مَوْهِبَتُهُ ٱلْخَاصَّةُ مِنَ ٱللهِ. ٱلْوَاحِدُ هَكَذَا وَٱلْآخَرُ هَكَذَا.

For I would that all men were as I myself. But every man hath his proper gift from God, one after this manner, and another after that.

٨ 8 وَلَكِنْ أَقُولُ لِغَيْرِ ٱلْمُتَزَوِّجِينَ وَلِلْأَرَامِلِ، إِنَّهُ حَسَنٌ لَهُمْ إِذَا لَبِثُوا كَمَا أَنَا.

I say therefore to the unmarried and widows, It is good for them if they remain even as I.

٩ 9 وَلَكِنْ إِنْ لَمْ يَضْبُطُوا أَنْفُسَهُمْ، فَلْيَتَزَوَّجُوا. لِأَنَّ ٱلتَّزَوُّجَ أَصْلَحُ مِنَ ٱلتَّحَرُّقِ.

But if they cannot control themselves, let them marry: for it is better to marry than to burn.

١٠ 10 وَأَمَّا ٱلْمُتَزَوِّجُونَ، فَأُوصِيهِمْ، لَا أَنَا بَلِ ٱلرَّبُّ، أَنْ لَا تُفَارِقَ ٱلْمَرْأَةُ رَجُلَهَا،

And to the married I command, yet not I, but the Lord, Let not the wife depart from her husband:

١١ 11 وَإِنْ فَارَقَتْهُ، فَلْتَلْبَثْ غَيْرَ مُتَزَوِّجَةٍ، أَوْ لِتُصَالِحْ رَجُلَهَا. وَلَا يَتْرُكِ ٱلرَّجُلُ ٱمْرَأَتَهُ.

But if she shall depart, let her remain unmarried, or be reconciled to her husband: and let not the husband put away his wife.

١٢ 12 وَأَمَّا ٱلْبَاقُونَ، فَأَقُولُ لَهُمْ أَنَا، لَا ٱلرَّبُّ: إِنْ كَانَ أَخٌ لَهُ ٱمْرَأَةٌ غَيْرُ مُؤْمِنَةٍ، وَهِيَ تَرْتَضِي أَنْ تَسْكُنَ مَعَهُ، فَلَا يَتْرُكْهَا.

But to the rest I speak, not the Lord: If any brother hath a wife that believeth not, and she is pleased to dwell with him, let him not put her away.

١٣ 13 وَٱلْمَرْأَةُ ٱلَّتِي لَهَا رَجُلٌ غَيْرُ مُؤْمِنٍ، وَهُوَ يَرْتَضِي أَنْ يَسْكُنَ مَعَهَا، فَلَا تَتْرُكْهُ.

And the woman who hath an husband that believeth not, and if he is pleased to dwell with her, let her not leave him.

١٤ 14 لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّجُلَ غَيْرَ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِ مُقَدَّسٌ فِي ٱلْمَرْأَةِ، وَٱلْمَرْأَةَ غَيْرَ ٱلْمُؤْمِنَةِ مُقَدَّسَةٌ فِي ٱلرَّجُلِ. وَإِلَّا فَأَوْلَادُكُمْ نَجِسُونَ، وَأَمَّا ٱلْآنَ فَهُمْ مُقَدَّسُونَ.

For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband: else were your children unclean; but now are they holy.

١٥ 15 وَلَكِنْ إِنْ فَارَقَ غَيْرُ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِ، فَلْيُفَارِقْ. لَيْسَ ٱلْأَخُ أَوِ ٱلْأُخْتُ مُسْتَعْبَدًا فِي مِثْلِ هَذِهِ ٱلْأَحْوَالِ، وَلَكِنَّ ٱللهَ قَدْ دَعَانَا فِي ٱلسَّلَامِ.

But if the unbelieving departeth, let him depart. A brother or a sister is not under bondage in such cases: but God hath called us to peace.

١٦ 16 لِأَنَّهُ كَيْفَ تَعْلَمِينَ أَيَّتُهَا ٱلْمَرْأَةُ، هَلْ تُخَلِّصِينَ ٱلرَّجُلَ؟ أَوْ كَيْفَ تَعْلَمُ أَيُّهَا ٱلرَّجُلُ، هَلْ تُخَلِّصُ ٱلْمَرْأَةَ؟

For how knowest thou, O wife, whether thou shalt save thy husband? or how knowest thou, O man, whether thou shalt save thy wife?

١٧ 17 غَيْرَ أَنَّهُ كَمَا قَسَمَ ٱللهُ لِكُلِّ وَاحِدٍ، كَمَا دَعَا ٱلرَّبُّ كُلَّ وَاحِدٍ، هَكَذَا لِيَسْلُكْ. وَهَكَذَا أَنَا آمُرُ فِي جَمِيعِ ٱلْكَنَائِسِ.

But as God hath distributed to every man, as the Lord hath called every one, so let him walk. And so I ordain in all churches.

١٨ 18 دُعِيَ أَحَدٌ وَهُوَ مَخْتُونٌ، فَلَا يَصِرْ أَغْلَفَ. دُعِيَ أَحَدٌ فِي ٱلْغُرْلَةِ، فَلَا يَخْتَتِنْ.

Is any man called being circumcised? let him not become uncircumcised. Is any called in uncircumcision? let him not become circumcised.

١٩ 19 لَيْسَ ٱلْخِتَانُ شَيْئًا، وَلَيْسَتِ ٱلْغُرْلَةُ شَيْئًا، بَلْ حِفْظُ وَصَايَا ٱللهِ.

Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing, but the keeping of the commandments of God.

٢٠ 20 اَلدَّعْوَةُ ٱلَّتِي دُعِيَ فِيهَا كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ فَلْيَلْبَثْ فِيهَا.

Let every man remain in the same calling in which he was called.

٢١ 21 دُعِيتَ وَأَنْتَ عَبْدٌ فَلَا يَهُمَّكَ. بَلْ وَإِنِ ٱسْتَطَعْتَ أَنْ تَصِيرَ حُرًّا فَٱسْتَعْمِلْهَا بِٱلْحَرِيِّ.

Art thou called being a servant? care not for it: but if thou mayest be made free, use it rather.

٢٢ 22 لِأَنَّ مَنْ دُعِيَ فِي ٱلرَّبِّ وَهُوَ عَبْدٌ، فَهُوَ عَتِيقُ ٱلرَّبِّ. كَذَلِكَ أَيْضًا ٱلْحُرُّ ٱلْمَدْعُوُّ هُوَ عَبْدٌ لِلْمَسِيحِ.

For he that is called in the Lord, being a servant, is the Lord’s freeman: likewise also he that is called, being free, is Christ’s servant.

٢٣ 23 قَدِ ٱشْتُرِيتُمْ بِثَمَنٍ، فَلَا تَصِيرُوا عَبِيدًا لِلنَّاسِ.

Ye are bought with a price; be not ye the servants of men.

٢٤ 24 مَا دُعِيَ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ فِيهِ أَيُّهَا ٱلْإِخْوَةُ فَلْيَلْبَثْ فِي ذَلِكَ مَعَ ٱللهِ.

Brethren, let every man, in the state in which he is called, continue in it with God.

٢٥ 25 وَأَمَّا ٱلْعَذَارَى، فَلَيْسَ عِنْدِي أَمْرٌ مِنَ ٱلرَّبِّ فِيهِنَّ، وَلَكِنَّنِي أُعْطِي رَأْيًا كَمَنْ رَحِمَهُ ٱلرَّبُّ أَنْ يَكُونَ أَمِينًا.

Now concerning virgins I have no commandment of the Lord: yet I give my judgment, as one that hath obtained mercy from the Lord to be faithful.

٢٦ 26 فَأَظُنُّ أَنَّ هَذَا حَسَنٌ لِسَبَبِ ٱلضِّيقِ ٱلْحَاضِرِ، أَنَّهُ حَسَنٌ لِلْإِنْسَانِ أَنْ يَكُونَ هَكَذَا:

I suppose therefore that this is good for the present distress, I say, that it is good for a man so to be.

٢٧ 27 أَنْتَ مُرْتَبِطٌ بِٱمْرَأَةٍ! فَلَا تَطْلُبِ ٱلِٱنْفِصَالَ. أَنْتَ مُنْفَصِلٌ عَنِ ٱمْرَأَةٍ! فَلَا تَطْلُبِ ٱمْرَأَةً.

Art thou bound to a wife? seek not to be loosed. Art thou loosed from a wife? seek not a wife.

٢٨ 28 لَكِنَّكَ وَإِنْ تَزَوَّجْتَ لَمْ تُخْطِئْ. وَإِنْ تَزَوَّجَتِ ٱلْعَذْرَاءُ لَمْ تُخْطِئْ. وَلَكِنَّ مِثْلَ هَؤُلَاءِ يَكُونُ لَهُمْ ضِيقٌ فِي ٱلْجَسَدِ. وَأَمَّا أَنَا فَإِنِّي أُشْفِقُ عَلَيْكُمْ.

But if thou marry, thou hast not sinned; and if a virgin marry, she hath not sinned. Nevertheless such shall have trouble in the flesh: but I spare you.

٢٩ 29 فَأَقُولُ هَذَا أَيُّهَا ٱلْإِخْوَةُ: ٱلْوَقْتُ مُنْذُ ٱلْآنَ مُقَصَّرٌ، لِكَيْ يَكُونَ ٱلَّذِينَ لَهُمْ نِسَاءٌ كَأَنْ لَيْسَ لَهُمْ،

But this I say, brethren, the time is short: it remaineth, that both they that have wives be as though they had none;

٣٠ 30 وَٱلَّذِينَ يَبْكُونَ كَأَنَّهُمْ لَا يَبْكُونَ، وَٱلَّذِينَ يَفْرَحُونَ كَأَنَّهُمْ لَا يَفْرَحُونَ، وَٱلَّذِينَ يَشْتَرُونَ كَأَنَّهُمْ لَا يَمْلِكُونَ،

And they that weep, as though they wept not; and they that rejoice, as though they rejoiced not; and they that buy, as though they possessed not;

٣١ 31 وَٱلَّذِينَ يَسْتَعْمِلُونَ هَذَا ٱلْعَالَمَ كَأَنَّهُمْ لَا يَسْتَعْمِلُونَهُ. لِأَنَّ هَيْئَةَ هَذَا ٱلْعَالَمِ تَزُولُ.

And they that use this world, as not abusing it: for the fashion of this world passeth away.

٣٢ 32 فَأُرِيدُ أَنْ تَكُونُوا بِلَا هَمٍّ. غَيْرُ ٱلْمُتَزَوِّجِ يَهْتَمُّ فِي مَا لِلرَّبِّ كَيْفَ يُرْضِي ٱلرَّبَّ،

But I would have you without care. He that is unmarried careth for the things that belong to the Lord, how he may please the Lord:

٣٣ 33 وَأَمَّا ٱلْمُتَزَوِّجُ فَيَهْتَمُّ فِي مَا لِلْعَالَمِ كَيْفَ يُرْضِي ٱمْرَأَتَهُ.

But he that is married careth for the things that are of the world, how he may please his wife.

٣٤ 34 إِنَّ بَيْنَ ٱلزَّوْجَةِ وَٱلْعَذْرَاءِ فَرْقًا: غَيْرُ ٱلْمُتَزَوِّجَةِ تَهْتَمُّ فِي مَا لِلرَّبِّ لِتَكُونَ مُقَدَّسَةً جَسَدًا وَرُوحًا. وَأَمَّا ٱلْمُتَزَوِّجَةُ فَتَهْتَمُّ فِي مَا لِلْعَالَمِ كَيْفَ تُرْضِي رَجُلَهَا.

There is a difference also between a wife and a virgin. The unmarried woman careth for the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and in spirit: but she that is married careth for the things of the world, how she may please her husband.

٣٥ 35 هَذَا أَقُولُهُ لِخَيْرِكُمْ، لَيْسَ لِكَيْ أُلْقِيَ عَلَيْكُمْ وَهَقًا، بَلْ لِأَجْلِ ٱللِّيَاقَةِ وَٱلْمُثَابَرَةِ لِلرَّبِّ مِنْ دُونِ ٱرْتِبَاكٍ.

And this I speak for your own profit; not that I may cast a snare upon you, but for that which is seemly, and that ye may attend upon the Lord without distraction.

٣٦ 36 وَلَكِنْ إِنْ كَانَ أَحَدٌ يَظُنُّ أَنَّهُ يَعْمَلُ بِدُونِ لِيَاقَةٍ نَحْوَ عَذْرَائِهِ إِذَا تَجَاوَزَتِ ٱلْوَقْتَ، وَهَكَذَا لَزِمَ أَنْ يَصِيرَ، فَلْيَفْعَلْ مَا يُرِيدُ. إِنَّهُ لَا يُخْطِئُ. فَلْيَتَزَوَّجَا.

But if any man thinketh that he behaveth himself unseemly toward his virgin, if she hath passed the flower of her age, and need so requireth, let him do what he will, he sinneth not: let them marry.

٣٧ 37 وَأَمَّا مَنْ أَقَامَ رَاسِخًا فِي قَلْبِهِ، وَلَيْسَ لَهُ ٱضْطِرَارٌ، بَلْ لَهُ سُلْطَانٌ عَلَى إِرَادَتِهِ، وَقَدْ عَزَمَ عَلَى هَذَا فِي قَلْبِهِ أَنْ يَحْفَظَ عَذْرَاءَهُ، فَحَسَنًا يَفْعَلُ.

Nevertheless he that standeth steadfast in his heart, having no necessity, but hath power over his own will, and hath so decreed in his heart that he will keep his virgin, doeth well.

٣٨ 38 إِذًا، مَنْ زَوَّجَ فَحَسَنًا يَفْعَلُ، وَمَنْ لَا يُزَوِّجُ يَفْعَلُ أَحْسَنَ.

So then he that giveth her in marriage doeth well; but he that giveth her not in marriage doeth better.

٣٩ 39 ٱلْمَرْأَةُ مُرْتَبِطَةٌ بِٱلنَّامُوسِ مَا دَامَ رَجُلُهَا حَيًّا. وَلَكِنْ إِنْ مَاتَ رَجُلُهَا، فَهِيَ حُرَّةٌ لِكَيْ تَتَزَوَّجَ بِمَنْ تُرِيدُ، فِي ٱلرَّبِّ فَقَطْ.

The wife is bound by the law as long as her husband liveth; but if her husband is dead, she is at liberty to be married to whom she will; only in the Lord.

٤٠ 40 وَلَكِنَّهَا أَكْثَرُ غِبْطَةً إِنْ لَبِثَتْ هَكَذَا، بِحَسَبِ رَأْيِي. وَأَظُنُّ أَنِّي أَنَا أَيْضًا عِنْدِي رُوحُ ٱللهِ.

But she is happier if she so remain, after my judgment: and I think also that I have the Spirit of God.
