١ بطرس 2

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

Wherefore, laying aside all malice, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envies, and all evil-speakings,

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

As new-born babes, desire the pure milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby:

٣ 3 إِنْ كُنْتُمْ قَدْ ذُقْتُمْ أَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ صَالِحٌ.

If indeed ye 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 by men, but chosen by God, [and] precious,

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

Ye also, as living stones, are built up a spiritual house, a 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».

Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner-stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth 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 who believe [he is] precious: but to them who are 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] who 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 ye [are] a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should show forth the praises of him who hath 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.

Who in time past [were] not a people, but [are] now the people of God: who 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 manner of life honest among the Gentiles: that, whereas they speak against you as evil-doers, 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 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 evil-doers, 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 ye 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 cloke 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 froward.

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 towards God endureth 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 ye are buffeted for your faults, ye bear it patiently? but if, when ye do well, and suffer [for it], ye bear 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 to this were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps:

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

Who committed 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 judgeth righteously:

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

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

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

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