< ١ بطرس 3 >

كَذَلِكُنَّ أَيَّتُهَا ٱلنِّسَاءُ، كُنَّ خَاضِعَاتٍ لِرِجَالِكُنَّ، حَتَّى وَإِنْ كَانَ ٱلْبَعْضُ لَا يُطِيعُونَ ٱلْكَلِمَةَ، يُرْبَحُونَ بِسِيرَةِ ٱلنِّسَاءِ بِدُونِ كَلِمَةٍ، ١ 1
Likewise let the wiues bee subiect to their husbands, that euen they which obey not the worde, may without the worde be wonne by the conuersation of the wiues,
مُلَاحِظِينَ سِيرَتَكُنَّ ٱلطَّاهِرَةَ بِخَوْفٍ. ٢ 2
While they beholde your pure conuersation, which is with feare.
وَلَا تَكُنْ زِينَتُكُنَّ ٱلزِّينَةَ ٱلْخَارِجِيَّةَ، مِنْ ضَفْرِ ٱلشَّعْرِ وَٱلتَّحَلِّي بِٱلذَّهَبِ وَلِبْسِ ٱلثِّيَابِ، ٣ 3
Whose apparelling, let it not be that outwarde, with broyded heare, and golde put about, or in putting on of apparell:
بَلْ إِنْسَانَ ٱلْقَلْبِ ٱلْخَفِيَّ فِي ٱلْعَدِيمَةِ ٱلْفَسَادِ، زِينَةَ ٱلرُّوحِ ٱلْوَدِيعِ ٱلْهَادِئ، ٱلَّذِي هُوَ قُدَّامَ ٱللهِ كَثِيرُ ٱلثَّمَنِ. ٤ 4
But let it bee the hidde man of the heart, which consisteth in the incorruption of a meeke and quiet spirite, which is before God a thing much set by.
فَإِنَّهُ هَكَذَا كَانَتْ قَدِيمًا ٱلنِّسَاءُ ٱلْقِدِّيسَاتُ أَيْضًا ٱلْمُتَوَكِّلَاتُ عَلَى ٱللهِ، يُزَيِّنَّ أَنْفُسَهُنَّ خَاضِعَاتٍ لِرِجَالِهِنَّ، ٥ 5
For euen after this maner in time past did the holy women, which trusted in God, tire them selues, and were subiect to their husbands.
كَمَا كَانَتْ سَارَةُ تُطِيعُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ دَاعِيَةً إِيَّاهُ «سَيِّدَهَا». ٱلَّتِي صِرْتُنَّ أَوْلَادَهَا، صَانِعَاتٍ خَيْرًا، وَغَيْرَ خَائِفَاتٍ خَوْفًا ٱلْبَتَّةَ. ٦ 6
As Sara obeyed Abraham, and called him Sir: whose daughters ye are, whiles yee doe well, not being afraide of any terrour.
كَذَلِكُمْ أَيُّهَا ٱلرِّجَالُ، كُونُوا سَاكِنِينَ بِحَسَبِ ٱلْفِطْنَةِ مَعَ ٱلْإِنَاءِ ٱلنِّسَائِيِّ كَٱلْأَضْعَفِ، مُعْطِينَ إِيَّاهُنَّ كَرَامَةً، كَٱلْوَارِثَاتِ أَيْضًا مَعَكُمْ نِعْمَةَ ٱلْحَيَاةِ، لِكَيْ لَا تُعَاقَ صَلَوَاتُكُمْ. ٧ 7
Likewise ye husbands, dwel with them as men of knowledge, giuing honour vnto the woman, as vnto the weaker vessell, euen as they which are heires together of the grace of life, that your prayers be not interrupted.
وَٱلنِّهَايَةُ، كُونُوا جَمِيعًا مُتَّحِدِي ٱلرَّأْيِ بِحِسٍّ وَاحِدٍ، ذَوِي مَحَبَّةٍ أَخَوِيَّةٍ، مُشْفِقِينَ، لُطَفَاءَ، ٨ 8
Finally, be ye all of one minde: one suffer with another: loue as brethren: bee pitifull: bee courteous,
غَيْرَ مُجَازِينَ عَنْ شَرٍّ بِشَرٍّ أَوْ عَنْ شَتِيمَةٍ بِشَتِيمَةٍ، بَلْ بِٱلْعَكْسِ مُبَارِكِينَ، عَالِمِينَ أَنَّكُمْ لِهَذَا دُعِيتُمْ لِكَيْ تَرِثُوا بَرَكَةً. ٩ 9
Not rendring euil for euill, neither rebuke for rebuke: but contrarywise blesse, knowing that ye are thereunto called, that ye should be heires of blessing.
لِأَنَّ: «مَنْ أَرَادَ أَنْ يُحِبَّ ٱلْحَيَاةَ، وَيَرَى أَيَّامًا صَالِحَةً، فَلْيَكْفُفْ لِسَانَهُ عَنِ ٱلشَّرِّ، وَشَفَتَيْهِ أَنْ تَتَكَلَّمَا بِٱلْمَكْرِ، ١٠ 10
For if any man long after life, and to see good dayes, let him refraine his tongue from euill, and his lippes that they speake no guile.
لِيُعْرِضْ عَنِ ٱلشَّرِّ، وَيَصْنَعِ ٱلْخَيْرَ، لِيَطْلُبِ ٱلسَّلَامَ، وَيَجِدَّ فِي أَثَرِهِ. ١١ 11
Let him eschew euil, and do good: let him seeke peace, and follow after it.
لِأَنَّ عَيْنَيِ ٱلرَّبِّ عَلَى ٱلْأَبْرَارِ، وَأُذْنَيْهِ إِلَى طَلِبَتِهِمْ، وَلَكِنَّ وَجْهَ ٱلرَّبِّ ضِدُّ فَاعِلِي ٱلشَّرِّ». ١٢ 12
For the eyes of the Lord are ouer the righteous, and his eares are open vnto their prayers: and the face of the Lord is against them that do euil.
فَمَنْ يُؤْذِيكُمْ إِنْ كُنْتُمْ مُتَمَثِّلِينَ بِٱلْخَيْرِ؟ ١٣ 13
And who is it that will harme you, if ye follow that which is good?
وَلَكِنْ وَإِنْ تَأَلَّمْتُمْ مِنْ أَجْلِ ٱلْبِرِّ، فَطُوبَاكُمْ. وَأَمَّا خَوْفَهُمْ فَلَا تَخَافُوهُ وَلَا تَضْطَرِبُوا، ١٤ 14
Notwithstanding blessed are ye, if ye suffer for righteousnes sake. Yea, feare not their feare, neither be troubled.
بَلْ قَدِّسُوا ٱلرَّبَّ ٱلْإِلَهَ فِي قُلُوبِكُمْ، مُسْتَعِدِّينَ دَائِمًا لِمُجَاوَبَةِ كُلِّ مَنْ يَسْأَلُكُمْ عَنْ سَبَبِ ٱلرَّجَاءِ ٱلَّذِي فِيكُمْ، بِوَدَاعَةٍ وَخَوْفٍ، ١٥ 15
But sanctifie the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready alwayes to giue an answere to euery man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you, with meekenesse and reuerence,
وَلَكُمْ ضَمِيرٌ صَالِحٌ، لِكَيْ يَكُونَ ٱلَّذِينَ يَشْتِمُونَ سِيرَتَكُمُ ٱلصَّالِحَةَ فِي ٱلْمَسِيحِ، يُخْزَوْنَ فِي مَا يَفْتَرُونَ عَلَيْكُمْ كَفَاعِلِي شَرٍّ. ١٦ 16
Hauing a good coscience, that whe they speake euill of you as of euill doers, they may be ashamed, which slander your good conuersation in Christ.
لِأَنَّ تَأَلُّمَكُمْ إِنْ شَاءَتْ مَشِيئَةُ ٱللهِ، وَأَنْتُمْ صَانِعُونَ خَيْرًا، أَفْضَلُ مِنْهُ وَأَنْتُمْ صَانِعُونَ شَرًّا. ١٧ 17
For it is better (if the will of God be so) that ye suffer for well doing, then for euil doing.
فَإِنَّ ٱلْمَسِيحَ أَيْضًا تَأَلَّمَ مَرَّةً وَاحِدَةً مِنْ أَجْلِ ٱلْخَطَايَا، ٱلْبَارُّ مِنْ أَجْلِ ٱلْأَثَمَةِ، لِكَيْ يُقَرِّبَنَا إِلَى ٱللهِ، مُمَاتًا فِي ٱلْجَسَدِ وَلَكِنْ مُحْيىً فِي ٱلرُّوحِ، ١٨ 18
For Christ also hath once suffered for sinnes, the iust for the vniust, that he might bring vs to God, and was put to death concerning the flesh, but was quickened by the spirit.
ٱلَّذِي فِيهِ أَيْضًا ذَهَبَ فَكَرَزَ لِلْأَرْوَاحِ ٱلَّتِي فِي ٱلسِّجْنِ، ١٩ 19
By the which hee also went, and preached vnto the spirits that are in prison.
إِذْ عَصَتْ قَدِيمًا، حِينَ كَانَتْ أَنَاةُ ٱللهِ تَنْتَظِرُ مَرَّةً فِي أَيَّامِ نُوحٍ، إِذْ كَانَ ٱلْفُلْكُ يُبْنَى، ٱلَّذِي فِيهِ خَلَصَ قَلِيلُونَ، أَيْ ثَمَانِي أَنْفُسٍ بِٱلْمَاءِ. ٢٠ 20
Which were in time passed disobedient, when once the long suffering of God abode in the dayes of Noe, while the Arke was preparing, wherein fewe, that is, eight soules were saued in the water.
ٱلَّذِي مِثَالُهُ يُخَلِّصُنَا نَحْنُ ٱلْآنَ، أَيِ ٱلْمَعْمُودِيَّةُ. لَا إِزَالَةُ وَسَخِ ٱلْجَسَدِ، بَلْ سُؤَالُ ضَمِيرٍ صَالِحٍ عَنِ ٱللهِ، بِقِيَامَةِ يَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ، ٢١ 21
Whereof the baptisme that nowe is, answering that figure, (which is not a putting away of the filth of the flesh, but a confident demaunding which a good conscience maketh to God) saueth vs also by the resurrection of Iesus Christ,
ٱلَّذِي هُوَ فِي يَمِينِ ٱللهِ، إِذْ قَدْ مَضَى إِلَى ٱلسَّمَاءِ، وَمَلَائِكَةٌ وَسَلَاطِينُ وَقُوَّاتٌ مُخْضَعَةٌ لَهُ. ٢٢ 22
Which is at the right hand of God, gone into heauen, to whom the Angels, and Powers, and might are subiect.
