< ١ بطرس 5 >

أَطْلُبُ إِلَى ٱلشُّيُوخِ ٱلَّذِينَ بَيْنَكُمْ، أَنَا ٱلشَّيْخَ رَفِيقَهُمْ، وَٱلشَّاهِدَ لِآلَامِ ٱلْمَسِيحِ، وَشَرِيكَ ٱلْمَجْدِ ٱلْعَتِيدِ أَنْ يُعْلَنَ، ١ 1
Elders, therefore, among you, I exhort—[I] who am their co-elder and a witness of the sufferings of the Christ, who also, in the glory about to be revealed, have, a share; —
ٱرْعَوْا رَعِيَّةَ ٱللهِ ٱلَّتِي بَيْنَكُمْ نُظَّارًا، لَا عَنِ ٱضْطِرَارٍ بَلْ بِٱلِٱخْتِيَارِ، وَلَا لِرِبْحٍ قَبِيحٍ بَلْ بِنَشَاطٍ، ٢ 2
Shepherd the beloved flock of God, which is among you, —not by compulsion, but by choice, nor yet for base gain, but of a ready mind, —
وَلَا كَمَنْ يَسُودُ عَلَى ٱلْأَنْصِبَةِ، بَلْ صَائِرِينَ أَمْثِلَةً لِلرَّعِيَّةِ. ٣ 3
Nor yet as lording it over the allotted portions, but becoming, ensamples, to the beloved flock;
وَمَتَى ظَهَرَ رَئِيسُ ٱلرُّعَاةِ تَنَالُونَ إِكْلِيلَ ٱلْمَجْدِ ٱلَّذِي لَا يَبْلَى. ٤ 4
And, when the Chief Shepherd is manifested, ye shall bear away, the unfading crown of glory.
كَذَلِكَ أَيُّهَا ٱلْأَحْدَاثُ، ٱخْضَعُوا لِلشُّيُوخِ، وَكُونُوا جَمِيعًا خَاضِعِينَ بَعْضُكُمْ لِبَعْضٍ، وَتَسَرْبَلُوا بِٱلتَّوَاضُعِ، لِأَنَّ: «ٱللهَ يُقَاوِمُ ٱلْمُسْتَكْبِرِينَ، وَأَمَّا ٱلْمُتَوَاضِعُونَ فَيُعْطِيهِمْ نِعْمَةً». ٥ 5
In like manner, ye younger men—submit yourselves unto elders; —All, however, one towards another, gird on humility; because, God, against the haughty, arrayeth himself, whereas, unto the lowly, he giveth favour.
فَتَوَاضَعُوا تَحْتَ يَدِ ٱللهِ ٱلْقَوِيَّةِ لِكَيْ يَرْفَعَكُمْ فِي حِينِهِ، ٦ 6
Be made lowly, therefore, under the strong hand of God, that he may lift, you, up in due time, —
مُلْقِينَ كُلَّ هَمِّكُمْ عَلَيْهِ، لِأَنَّهُ هُوَ يَعْتَنِي بِكُمْ. ٧ 7
All your anxiety, casting upon him, because he careth for you.
اُصْحُوا وَٱسْهَرُوا. لِأَنَّ إِبْلِيسَ خَصْمَكُمْ كَأَسَدٍ زَائِرٍ، يَجُولُ مُلْتَمِسًا مَنْ يَبْتَلِعُهُ هُوَ. ٨ 8
Be sober! be watchful! Your slanderous adversary, as a roaring lion, is walking about—seeking to devour:
فَقَاوِمُوهُ، رَاسِخِينَ فِي ٱلْإِيمَانِ، عَالِمِينَ أَنَّ نَفْسَ هَذِهِ ٱلْآلَامِ تُجْرَى عَلَى إِخْوَتِكُمُ ٱلَّذِينَ فِي ٱلْعَالَمِ. ٩ 9
Whom resist, steadfast in your faith, knowing that, the same sufferings, in your brotherhood that is in the world, are being accomplished.
وَإِلَهُ كُلِّ نِعْمَةٍ ٱلَّذِي دَعَانَا إِلَى مَجْدِهِ ٱلْأَبَدِيِّ فِي ٱلْمَسِيحِ يَسُوعَ، بَعْدَمَا تَأَلَّمْتُمْ يَسِيرًا، هُوَ يُكَمِّلُكُمْ، وَيُثَبِّتُكُمْ، وَيُقَوِّيكُمْ، وَيُمَكِّنُكُمْ. (aiōnios g166) ١٠ 10
Howbeit, the God of all favour—who hath called you unto his age-abiding glory in Christ—when, for a little, ye have suffered, Himself, will adjust, confirm, strengthen: — (aiōnios g166)
لَهُ ٱلْمَجْدُ وَٱلسُّلْطَانُ إِلَى أَبَدِ ٱلْآبِدِينَ. آمِينَ. (aiōn g165) ١١ 11
Unto him, be the dominion, unto the ages. 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, the faithful brother, as I account him, have I briefly written, unto you, exhorting and adding testimony—that, this, is the true favour of God—within which, stand ye fast!
تُسَلِّمُ عَلَيْكُمُ ٱلَّتِي فِي بَابِلَ ٱلْمُخْتَارَةُ مَعَكُمْ، وَمَرْقُسُ ٱبْنِي. ١٣ 13
She who, in Babylon, is co-elect, and Mark my son, salute you:
سَلِّمُوا بَعْضُكُمْ عَلَى بَعْضٍ بِقُبْلَةِ ٱلْمَحَبَّةِ. سَلَامٌ لَكُمْ جَمِيعِكُمُ ٱلَّذِينَ فِي ٱلْمَسِيحِ يَسُوعَ. آمِينَ. ١٤ 14
Salute ye one another with a kiss of love. Peace unto you all who are in Christ.
