١ بطرس 2

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

Having put aside, then, all evil, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envyings, and all evil speakings,

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

as new-born babes the word's pure milk desire ye, that in it ye may grow,

٣ 3 إِنْ كُنْتُمْ قَدْ ذُقْتُمْ أَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ صَالِحٌ.

if so be ye did taste that the Lord [is] gracious,

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

to whom coming — a living stone — by men, indeed, having been disapproved of, but with God choice, precious,

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

and ye yourselves, as living stones, are built up, a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through 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 Writing: 'Lo, I lay in Zion a chief corner-stone, choice, precious, and he who is believing on him may not be put to shame;'

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

to you, then, who are believing [is] the preciousness; and to the unbelieving, a stone that the builders disapproved of, this one did become for the head of a 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 offence — who are stumbling at the word, being unbelieving, — to which also they were set;

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

and ye [are] a choice race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people acquired, that the excellences ye may shew forth of Him who out of darkness did call you to His wondrous light;

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

who [were] once not a people, and [are] now the people of God; who had not found kindness, and now have found kindness.

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

Beloved, I call upon [you], as strangers and sojourners, to keep from the fleshly desires, that 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 behaviour among the nations right, that in that which they speak against you as evil-doers, of the good works having beheld, they may glorify God in a day of inspection.

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

Be subject, then, to every human creation, because of the Lord, whether to a king, as the highest,

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

whether to governors, as to those sent through him, for punishment, indeed, of evil-doers, and a praise of those doing good;

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

because, so is the will of God, doing good, to put to silence the ignorance of the foolish men;

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

as free, and not having the freedom as the cloak of the evil, but as servants of God;

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

to all give ye honour; the brotherhood love ye; God fear ye; the king honour ye.

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

The domestics! be subjecting yourselves in all fear to the masters, not only to the good and gentle, but also to the cross;

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

for this [is] gracious, if because of conscience toward God any one doth endure sorrows, suffering unrighteously;

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

for what renown [is it], if sinning and being buffeted, ye do endure [it]? but if, doing good and suffering [for it], ye do endure, this [is] gracious with God,

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

for to this ye were called, because Christ also did suffer for you, leaving to you an example, that ye may follow his steps,

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

who did not commit sin, nor 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 being reviled — was not reviling again, suffering — was not threatening, and was committing himself to Him who is judging righteously,

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

who our sins himself did bear in his body, upon the tree, that to the sins having died, to the righteousness we may live; 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 ye turned back now to the shepherd and overseer of your souls.
