١ بطرس 2

١ 1 فَٱطْرَحُوا كُلَّ خُبْثٍ وَكُلَّ مَكْرٍ وَٱلرِّيَاءَ وَٱلْحَسَدَ وَكُلَّ مَذَمَّةٍ،

Why laying aside all malice, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envies, all evil speakings,

٢ 2 وَكَأَطْفَالٍ مَوْلُودِينَ ٱلْآنَ، ٱشْتَهُوا ٱللَّبَنَ ٱلْعَقْلِيَّ ٱلْعَدِيمَ ٱلْغِشِّ لِكَيْ تَنْمُوا بِهِ،

As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that you may grow thereby:

٣ 3 إِنْ كُنْتُمْ قَدْ ذُقْتُمْ أَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ صَالِحٌ.

If so be you have tasted that the Lord is gracious.

٤ 4 ٱلَّذِي إِذْ تَأْتُونَ إِلَيْهِ، حَجَرًا حَيًّا مَرْفُوضًا مِنَ ٱلنَّاسِ، وَلَكِنْ مُخْتَارٌ مِنَ ٱللهِ كَرِيمٌ،

To whom coming, as to a living stone, disallowed indeed of men, but chosen of God, and precious,

٥ 5 كُونُوا أَنْتُمْ أَيْضًا مَبْنِيِّينَ -كَحِجَارَةٍ حَيَّةٍ- بَيْتًا رُوحِيًّا، كَهَنُوتًا مُقَدَّسًا، لِتَقْدِيمِ ذَبَائِحَ رُوحِيَّةٍ مَقْبُولَةٍ عِنْدَ ٱللهِ بِيَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ.

You also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.

٦ 6 لِذَلِكَ يُتَضَمَّنُ أَيْضًا فِي ٱلْكِتَابِ: «هَأَنَذَا أَضَعُ فِي صِهْيَوْنَ حَجَرَ زَاوِيَةٍ مُخْتَارًا كَرِيمًا، وَٱلَّذِي يُؤْمِنُ بِهِ لَنْ يُخْزَى».

Why also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believes on him shall not be confounded.

٧ 7 فَلَكُمْ أَنْتُمُ ٱلَّذِينَ تُؤْمِنُونَ ٱلْكَرَامَةُ، وَأَمَّا لِلَّذِينَ لَا يُطِيعُونَ، «فَٱلْحَجَرُ ٱلَّذِي رَفَضَهُ ٱلْبَنَّاؤُونَ، هُوَ قَدْ صَارَ رَأْسَ ٱلزَّاوِيَةِ»

To you therefore which believe he is precious: but to them which be disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner,

٨ 8 وَ«حَجَرَ صَدْمَةٍ وَصَخْرَةَ عَثْرَةٍ». ٱلَّذِينَ يَعْثُرُونَ غَيْرَ طَائِعِينَ لِلْكَلِمَةِ، ٱلْأَمْرُ ٱلَّذِي جُعِلُوا لَهُ.

And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offense, even to them which stumble at the word, being disobedient: to which also they were appointed.

٩ 9 وَأَمَّا أَنْتُمْ فَجِنْسٌ مُخْتَارٌ، وَكَهَنُوتٌ مُلُوكِيٌّ، أُمَّةٌ مُقَدَّسَةٌ، شَعْبُ ٱقْتِنَاءٍ، لِكَيْ تُخْبِرُوا بِفَضَائِلِ ٱلَّذِي دَعَاكُمْ مِنَ ٱلظُّلْمَةِ إِلَى نُورِهِ ٱلْعَجِيبِ.

But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that you should show forth the praises of him who has called you out of darkness into his marvelous light;

١٠ 10 ٱلَّذِينَ قَبْلًا لَمْ تَكُونُوا شَعْبًا، وَأَمَّا ٱلْآنَ فَأَنْتُمْ شَعْبُ ٱللهِ. ٱلَّذِينَ كُنْتُمْ غَيْرَ مَرْحُومِينَ، وَأَمَّا ٱلْآنَ فَمَرْحُومُونَ.

Which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.

١١ 11 أَيُّهَا ٱلْأَحِبَّاءُ، أَطْلُبُ إِلَيْكُمْ كَغُرَبَاءَ وَنُزَلَاءَ، أَنْ تَمْتَنِعُوا عَنِ ٱلشَّهَوَاتِ ٱلْجَسَدِيَّةِ ٱلَّتِي تُحَارِبُ ٱلنَّفْسَ،

Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul;

١٢ 12 وَأَنْ تَكُونَ سِيرَتُكُمْ بَيْنَ ٱلْأُمَمِ حَسَنَةً، لِكَيْ يَكُونُوا، فِي مَا يَفْتَرُونَ عَلَيْكُمْ كَفَاعِلِي شَرٍّ، يُمَجِّدُونَ ٱللهَ فِي يَوْمِ ٱلِٱفْتِقَادِ، مِنْ أَجْلِ أَعْمَالِكُمُ ٱلْحَسَنَةِ ٱلَّتِي يُلَاحِظُونَهَا.

Having your conversation honest among the Gentiles: that, whereas they speak against you as evildoers, they may by your good works, which they shall behold, glorify God in the day of visitation.

١٣ 13 فَٱخْضَعُوا لِكُلِّ تَرْتِيبٍ بَشَرِيٍّ مِنْ أَجْلِ ٱلرَّبِّ. إِنْ كَانَ لِلْمَلِكِ فَكَمَنْ هُوَ فَوْقَ ٱلْكُلِّ،

Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord’s sake: whether it be to the king, as supreme;

١٤ 14 أَوْ لِلْوُلَاةِ فَكَمُرْسَلِينَ مِنْهُ لِلِٱنْتِقَامِ مِنْ فَاعِلِي ٱلشَّرِّ، وَلِلْمَدْحِ لِفَاعِلِي ٱلْخَيْرِ.

Or to governors, as to them that are sent by him for the punishment of evildoers, and for the praise of them that do well.

١٥ 15 لِأَنَّ هَكَذَا هِيَ مَشِيئَةُ ٱللهِ: أَنْ تَفْعَلُوا ٱلْخَيْرَ فَتُسَكِّتُوا جَهَالَةَ ٱلنَّاسِ ٱلْأَغْبِيَاءِ.

For so is the will of God, that with well doing you may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men:

١٦ 16 كَأَحْرَارٍ، وَلَيْسَ كَٱلَّذِينَ ٱلْحُرِّيَّةُ عِنْدَهُمْ سُتْرَةٌ لِلشَّرِّ، بَلْ كَعَبِيدِ ٱللهِ.

As free, and not using your liberty for a cloak of maliciousness, but as the servants of God.

١٧ 17 أَكْرِمُوا ٱلْجَمِيعَ. أَحِبُّوا ٱلْإِخْوَةَ. خَافُوا ٱللهَ. أَكْرِمُوا ٱلْمَلِكَ.

Honor all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honor the king.

١٨ 18 أَيُّهَا ٱلْخُدَّامُ، كُونُوا خَاضِعِينَ بِكُلِّ هَيْبَةٍ لِلسَّادَةِ، لَيْسَ لِلصَّالِحِينَ ٱلْمُتَرَفِّقِينَ فَقَطْ، بَلْ لِلْعُنَفَاءِ أَيْضًا.

Servants, be subject to your masters with all fear; not only to the good and gentle, but also to the fraudulent.

١٩ 19 لِأَنَّ هَذَا فَضْلٌ، إِنْ كَانَ أَحَدٌ مِنْ أَجْلِ ضَمِيرٍ نَحْوَ ٱللهِ، يَحْتَمِلُ أَحْزَانًا مُتَأَلِّمًا بِٱلظُّلْمِ.

For this is thank worthy, if a man for conscience toward God endure grief, suffering wrongfully.

٢٠ 20 لِأَنَّهُ أَيُّ مَجْدٍ هُوَ إِنْ كُنْتُمْ تُلْطَمُونَ مُخْطِئِينَ فَتَصْبِرُونَ؟ بَلْ إِنْ كُنْتُمْ تَتَأَلَّمُونَ عَامِلِينَ ٱلْخَيْرَ فَتَصْبِرُونَ، فَهَذَا فَضْلٌ عِنْدَ ٱللهِ،

For what glory is it, if, when you be buffeted for your faults, you shall take it patiently? but if, when you do well, and suffer for it, you take it patiently, this is acceptable with God.

٢١ 21 لِأَنَّكُمْ لِهَذَا دُعِيتُمْ. فَإِنَّ ٱلْمَسِيحَ أَيْضًا تَأَلَّمَ لِأَجْلِنَا، تَارِكًا لَنَا مِثَالًا لِكَيْ تَتَّبِعُوا خُطُوَاتِهِ.

For even hereunto were you called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that you should follow his steps:

٢٢ 22 «ٱلَّذِي لَمْ يَفْعَلْ خَطِيَّةً، وَلَا وُجِدَ فِي فَمِهِ مَكْرٌ»،

Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth:

٢٣ 23 ٱلَّذِي إِذْ شُتِمَ لَمْ يَكُنْ يَشْتِمُ عِوَضًا، وَإِذْ تَأَلَّمَ لَمْ يَكُنْ يُهَدِّدُ بَلْ كَانَ يُسَلِّمُ لِمَنْ يَقْضِي بِعَدْلٍ.

Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he threatened not; but committed himself to him that judges righteously:

٢٤ 24 ٱلَّذِي حَمَلَ هُوَ نَفْسُهُ خَطَايَانَا فِي جَسَدِهِ عَلَى ٱلْخَشَبَةِ، لِكَيْ نَمُوتَ عَنِ ٱلْخَطَايَا فَنَحْيَا لِلْبِرِّ. ٱلَّذِي بِجَلْدَتِهِ شُفِيتُمْ.

Who his own self bore our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live to righteousness: by whose stripes you were healed.

٢٥ 25 لِأَنَّكُمْ كُنْتُمْ كَخِرَافٍ ضَالَّةٍ، لَكِنَّكُمْ رَجَعْتُمُ ٱلْآنَ إِلَى رَاعِي نُفُوسِكُمْ وَأُسْقُفِهَا.

For you were as sheep going astray; but are now returned to the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls.
