١ تسالونيكي 4

١ 1 فَمِنْ ثَمَّ أَيُّهَا ٱلْإِخْوَةُ نَسْأَلُكُمْ وَنَطْلُبُ إِلَيْكُمْ فِي ٱلرَّبِّ يَسُوعَ، أَنَّكُمْ كَمَا تَسَلَّمْتُمْ مِنَّا كَيْفَ يَجِبُ أَنْ تَسْلُكُوا وَتُرْضُوا ٱللهَ، تَزْدَادُونَ أَكْثَرَ.

Furthermore then we beseech you, brethren, and exhort [you] by the Lord Jesus, that as ye have received of us how ye ought to walk and to please God, [ so] ye would abound more and more.

٢ 2 لِأَنَّكُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ أَيَّةَ وَصَايَا أَعْطَيْنَاكُمْ بِٱلرَّبِّ يَسُوعَ.

For ye know what commandments we gave you by the Lord Jesus.

٣ 3 لِأَنَّ هَذِهِ هِيَ إِرَادَةُ ٱللهِ: قَدَاسَتُكُمْ. أَنْ تَمْتَنِعُوا عَنِ ٱلزِّنَا،

For this is the will of God, [even] your sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication:

٤ 4 أَنْ يَعْرِفَ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْكُمْ أَنْ يَقْتَنِيَ إِنَاءَهُ بِقَدَاسَةٍ وَكَرَامَةٍ،

That every one of you should know how to possess his vessel in sanctification and honour;

٥ 5 لَا فِي هَوَى شَهْوَةٍ كَٱلْأُمَمِ ٱلَّذِينَ لَا يَعْرِفُونَ ٱللهَ،

Not in the lust of concupiscence, even as the Gentiles which know not God:

٦ 6 أَنْ لَا يَتَطَاوَلَ أَحَدٌ وَيَطْمَعَ عَلَى أَخِيهِ فِي هَذَا ٱلْأَمْرِ، لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ مُنْتَقِمٌ لِهَذِهِ كُلِّهَا كَمَا قُلْنَا لَكُمْ قَبْلًا وَشَهِدْنَا.

That no [man] go beyond and defraud his brother in [any] matter: because that the Lord [is] the avenger of all such, as we also have forewarned you and testified.

٧ 7 لِأَنَّ ٱللهَ لَمْ يَدْعُنَا لِلنَّجَاسَةِ بَلْ فِي ٱلْقَدَاسَةِ.

For God hath not called us unto uncleanness, but unto holiness.

٨ 8 إِذًا مَنْ يُرْذِلُ لَا يُرْذِلُ إِنْسَانًا، بَلِ ٱللهَ ٱلَّذِي أَعْطَانَا أَيْضًا رُوحَهُ ٱلْقُدُّوسَ.

He therefore that despiseth, despiseth not man, but God, who hath also given unto us his holy Spirit.

٩ 9 وَأَمَّا ٱلْمَحَبَّةُ ٱلْأَخَوِيَّةُ فَلَا حَاجَةَ لَكُمْ أَنْ أَكْتُبَ إِلَيْكُمْ عَنْهَا، لِأَنَّكُمْ أَنْفُسَكُمْ مُتَعَلِّمُونَ مِنَ ٱللهِ أَنْ يُحِبَّ بَعْضُكُمْ بَعْضًا.

But as touching brotherly love ye need not that I write unto you: for ye yourselves are taught of God to love one another.

١٠ 10 فَإِنَّكُمْ تَفْعَلُونَ ذَلِكَ أَيْضًا لِجَمِيعِ ٱلْإِخْوَةِ ٱلَّذِينَ فِي مَكِدُونِيَّةَ كُلِّهَا. وَإِنَّمَا أَطْلُبُ إِلَيْكُمْ أَيُّهَا ٱلْإِخْوَةُ أَنْ تَزْدَادُوا أَكْثَرَ،

And indeed ye do it toward all the brethren which are in all Macedonia: but we beseech you, brethren, that ye increase more and more;

١١ 11 وَأَنْ تَحْرِصُوا عَلَى أَنْ تَكُونُوا هَادِئِينَ، وَتُمَارِسُوا أُمُورَكُمُ ٱلْخَاصَّةَ، وَتَشْتَغِلُوا بِأَيْدِيكُمْ أَنْتُمْ كَمَا أَوْصَيْنَاكُمْ،

And that ye study to be quiet, and to do your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you;

١٢ 12 لِكَيْ تَسْلُكُوا بِلِيَاقَةٍ عِنْدَ ٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ مِنْ خَارِجٍ، وَلَا تَكُونَ لَكُمْ حَاجَةٌ إِلَى أَحَدٍ.

That ye may walk honestly toward them that are without, and [that] ye may have lack of nothing.

١٣ 13 ثُمَّ لَا أُرِيدُ أَنْ تَجْهَلُوا أَيُّهَا ٱلْإِخْوَةُ مِنْ جِهَةِ ٱلرَّاقِدِينَ، لِكَيْ لَا تَحْزَنُوا كَٱلْبَاقِينَ ٱلَّذِينَ لَا رَجَاءَ لَهُمْ.

But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.

١٤ 14 لِأَنَّهُ إِنْ كُنَّا نُؤْمِنُ أَنَّ يَسُوعَ مَاتَ وَقَامَ، فَكَذَلِكَ ٱلرَّاقِدُونَ بِيَسُوعَ، سَيُحْضِرُهُمُ ٱللهُ أَيْضًا مَعَهُ.

For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.

١٥ 15 فَإِنَّنَا نَقُولُ لَكُمْ هَذَا بِكَلِمَةِ ٱلرَّبِّ: إِنَّنَا نَحْنُ ٱلْأَحْيَاءَ ٱلْبَاقِينَ إِلَى مَجِيءِ ٱلرَّبِّ، لَا نَسْبِقُ ٱلرَّاقِدِينَ.

For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive [and] remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.

١٦ 16 لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ نَفْسَهُ بِهُتَافٍ، بِصَوْتِ رَئِيسِ مَلَائِكَةٍ وَبُوقِ ٱللهِ، سَوْفَ يَنْزِلُ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَاءِ وَٱلْأَمْوَاتُ فِي ٱلْمَسِيحِ سَيَقُومُونَ أَوَّلًا.

For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:

١٧ 17 ثُمَّ نَحْنُ ٱلْأَحْيَاءَ ٱلْبَاقِينَ سَنُخْطَفُ جَمِيعًا مَعَهُمْ فِي ٱلسُّحُبِ لِمُلَاقَاةِ ٱلرَّبِّ فِي ٱلْهَوَاءِ، وَهَكَذَا نَكُونُ كُلَّ حِينٍ مَعَ ٱلرَّبِّ.

Then we which are alive [and] remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

١٨ 18 لِذَلِكَ عَزُّوا بَعْضُكُمْ بَعْضًا بِهَذَا ٱلْكَلَامِ.

Wherefore comfort one another with these words.
