< ١ بطرس 5 >

أَطْلُبُ إِلَى ٱلشُّيُوخِ ٱلَّذِينَ بَيْنَكُمْ، أَنَا ٱلشَّيْخَ رَفِيقَهُمْ، وَٱلشَّاهِدَ لِآلَامِ ٱلْمَسِيحِ، وَشَرِيكَ ٱلْمَجْدِ ٱلْعَتِيدِ أَنْ يُعْلَنَ، ١ 1
I exhort the elders among you, as a fellow elder, and a witness of the sufferings of Messiah, and who will also share in the glory that will be revealed:
ٱرْعَوْا رَعِيَّةَ ٱللهِ ٱلَّتِي بَيْنَكُمْ نُظَّارًا، لَا عَنِ ٱضْطِرَارٍ بَلْ بِٱلِٱخْتِيَارِ، وَلَا لِرِبْحٍ قَبِيحٍ بَلْ بِنَشَاطٍ، ٢ 2
Shepherd the flock of God which is among you, exercising the oversight, not under compulsion, but voluntarily, as God wants; not for dishonest gain, but willingly;
وَلَا كَمَنْ يَسُودُ عَلَى ٱلْأَنْصِبَةِ، بَلْ صَائِرِينَ أَمْثِلَةً لِلرَّعِيَّةِ. ٣ 3
neither as lording it over those entrusted to you, but making yourselves examples to the flock.
وَمَتَى ظَهَرَ رَئِيسُ ٱلرُّعَاةِ تَنَالُونَ إِكْلِيلَ ٱلْمَجْدِ ٱلَّذِي لَا يَبْلَى. ٤ 4
When the chief Shepherd is revealed, you will receive the crown of glory that does not fade 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 ones, be subject to the elder. Yes, all of you clothe yourselves with humility, towards one another; for God resists the proud, but 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 worries on him, because he cares for you.
اُصْحُوا وَٱسْهَرُوا. لِأَنَّ إِبْلِيسَ خَصْمَكُمْ كَأَسَدٍ زَائِرٍ، يَجُولُ مُلْتَمِسًا مَنْ يَبْتَلِعُهُ هُوَ. ٨ 8
Be sober and self-controlled. Be watchful. Your adversary the devil, walks around like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.
فَقَاوِمُوهُ، رَاسِخِينَ فِي ٱلْإِيمَانِ، عَالِمِينَ أَنَّ نَفْسَ هَذِهِ ٱلْآلَامِ تُجْرَى عَلَى إِخْوَتِكُمُ ٱلَّذِينَ فِي ٱلْعَالَمِ. ٩ 9
Withstand him steadfast in your faith, knowing that your brothers who are in the world are undergoing the same sufferings.
وَإِلَهُ كُلِّ نِعْمَةٍ ٱلَّذِي دَعَانَا إِلَى مَجْدِهِ ٱلْأَبَدِيِّ فِي ٱلْمَسِيحِ يَسُوعَ، بَعْدَمَا تَأَلَّمْتُمْ يَسِيرًا، هُوَ يُكَمِّلُكُمْ، وَيُثَبِّتُكُمْ، وَيُقَوِّيكُمْ، وَيُمَكِّنُكُمْ. (aiōnios g166) ١٠ 10
And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Messiah, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore, confirm, strengthen and establish you. (aiōnios g166)
لَهُ ٱلْمَجْدُ وَٱلسُّلْطَانُ إِلَى أَبَدِ ٱلْآبِدِينَ. آمِينَ. (aiōn g165) ١١ 11
To him be the power forever. 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
Through Silvanus, our faithful brother, as I consider him, I have written to you briefly, exhorting, and testifying that this is the true grace of God. Stand firm in it.
تُسَلِّمُ عَلَيْكُمُ ٱلَّتِي فِي بَابِلَ ٱلْمُخْتَارَةُ مَعَكُمْ، وَمَرْقُسُ ٱبْنِي. ١٣ 13
She who is in Babylon, chosen together with you, greets you; and so does Mark, my son.
سَلِّمُوا بَعْضُكُمْ عَلَى بَعْضٍ بِقُبْلَةِ ٱلْمَحَبَّةِ. سَلَامٌ لَكُمْ جَمِيعِكُمُ ٱلَّذِينَ فِي ٱلْمَسِيحِ يَسُوعَ. آمِينَ. ١٤ 14
Greet one another with a kiss of love. Peace be to you all who are in Messiah.
