< ١ بطرس 5 >

أَطْلُبُ إِلَى ٱلشُّيُوخِ ٱلَّذِينَ بَيْنَكُمْ، أَنَا ٱلشَّيْخَ رَفِيقَهُمْ، وَٱلشَّاهِدَ لِآلَامِ ٱلْمَسِيحِ، وَشَرِيكَ ٱلْمَجْدِ ٱلْعَتِيدِ أَنْ يُعْلَنَ، ١ 1
The elders which are among you I exhort, who am also an elder, and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and also a partaker of the glory that shall be revealed:
ٱرْعَوْا رَعِيَّةَ ٱللهِ ٱلَّتِي بَيْنَكُمْ نُظَّارًا، لَا عَنِ ٱضْطِرَارٍ بَلْ بِٱلِٱخْتِيَارِ، وَلَا لِرِبْحٍ قَبِيحٍ بَلْ بِنَشَاطٍ، ٢ 2
Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking the oversight thereof, not by constraint, but willingly; not for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind;
وَلَا كَمَنْ يَسُودُ عَلَى ٱلْأَنْصِبَةِ، بَلْ صَائِرِينَ أَمْثِلَةً لِلرَّعِيَّةِ. ٣ 3
Neither as being lords over God’s heritage, but being ensamples to the flock.
وَمَتَى ظَهَرَ رَئِيسُ ٱلرُّعَاةِ تَنَالُونَ إِكْلِيلَ ٱلْمَجْدِ ٱلَّذِي لَا يَبْلَى. ٤ 4
And when the chief Shepherd shall appear, you shall receive a crown of glory that fades not away.
كَذَلِكَ أَيُّهَا ٱلْأَحْدَاثُ، ٱخْضَعُوا لِلشُّيُوخِ، وَكُونُوا جَمِيعًا خَاضِعِينَ بَعْضُكُمْ لِبَعْضٍ، وَتَسَرْبَلُوا بِٱلتَّوَاضُعِ، لِأَنَّ: «ٱللهَ يُقَاوِمُ ٱلْمُسْتَكْبِرِينَ، وَأَمَّا ٱلْمُتَوَاضِعُونَ فَيُعْطِيهِمْ نِعْمَةً». ٥ 5
Likewise, you younger, submit yourselves to the elder. Yes, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resists the proud, and gives grace to the humble.
فَتَوَاضَعُوا تَحْتَ يَدِ ٱللهِ ٱلْقَوِيَّةِ لِكَيْ يَرْفَعَكُمْ فِي حِينِهِ، ٦ 6
Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time:
مُلْقِينَ كُلَّ هَمِّكُمْ عَلَيْهِ، لِأَنَّهُ هُوَ يَعْتَنِي بِكُمْ. ٧ 7
Casting all your care on him; for he cares for you.
اُصْحُوا وَٱسْهَرُوا. لِأَنَّ إِبْلِيسَ خَصْمَكُمْ كَأَسَدٍ زَائِرٍ، يَجُولُ مُلْتَمِسًا مَنْ يَبْتَلِعُهُ هُوَ. ٨ 8
Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walks about, seeking whom he may devour:
فَقَاوِمُوهُ، رَاسِخِينَ فِي ٱلْإِيمَانِ، عَالِمِينَ أَنَّ نَفْسَ هَذِهِ ٱلْآلَامِ تُجْرَى عَلَى إِخْوَتِكُمُ ٱلَّذِينَ فِي ٱلْعَالَمِ. ٩ 9
Whom resist steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brothers that are in the world.
وَإِلَهُ كُلِّ نِعْمَةٍ ٱلَّذِي دَعَانَا إِلَى مَجْدِهِ ٱلْأَبَدِيِّ فِي ٱلْمَسِيحِ يَسُوعَ، بَعْدَمَا تَأَلَّمْتُمْ يَسِيرًا، هُوَ يُكَمِّلُكُمْ، وَيُثَبِّتُكُمْ، وَيُقَوِّيكُمْ، وَيُمَكِّنُكُمْ. (aiōnios g166) ١٠ 10
But the God of all grace, who has called us to his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that you have suffered a while, make you perfect, establish, strengthen, settle you. (aiōnios g166)
لَهُ ٱلْمَجْدُ وَٱلسُّلْطَانُ إِلَى أَبَدِ ٱلْآبِدِينَ. آمِينَ. (aiōn g165) ١١ 11
To him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
بِيَدِ سِلْوَانُسَ ٱلْأَخِ ٱلْأَمِينِ-كَمَا أَظُنُّ- كَتَبْتُ إِلَيْكُمْ بِكَلِمَاتٍ قَلِيلَةٍ وَاعِظًا وَشَاهِدًا، أَنَّ هَذِهِ هِيَ نِعْمَةُ ٱللهِ ٱلْحَقِيقِيَّةُ ٱلَّتِي فِيهَا تَقُومُونَ. ١٢ 12
By Silvanus, a faithful brother to you, as I suppose, I have written briefly, exhorting, and testifying that this is the true grace of God wherein you stand.
تُسَلِّمُ عَلَيْكُمُ ٱلَّتِي فِي بَابِلَ ٱلْمُخْتَارَةُ مَعَكُمْ، وَمَرْقُسُ ٱبْنِي. ١٣ 13
The church that is at Babylon, elected together with you, salutes you; and so does Marcus my son.
سَلِّمُوا بَعْضُكُمْ عَلَى بَعْضٍ بِقُبْلَةِ ٱلْمَحَبَّةِ. سَلَامٌ لَكُمْ جَمِيعِكُمُ ٱلَّذِينَ فِي ٱلْمَسِيحِ يَسُوعَ. آمِينَ. ١٤ 14
Greet you one another with a kiss of charity. Peace be with you all that are in Christ Jesus. Amen.
