< ١ تيموثاوس 3 >
صَادِقَةٌ هِيَ ٱلْكَلِمَةُ: إِنِ ٱبْتَغَى أَحَدٌ ٱلْأُسْقُفِيَّةَ، فَيَشْتَهِي عَمَلًا صَالِحًا. | ١ 1 |
Stedfast [is] the word: If any one the oversight doth long for, a right work he desireth;
فَيَجِبُ أَنْ يَكُونَ ٱلْأُسْقُفُ: بِلَا لَوْمٍ، بَعْلَ ٱمْرَأَةٍ وَاحِدَةٍ، صَاحِيًا، عَاقِلًا، مُحْتَشِمًا، مُضِيفًا لِلْغُرَبَاءِ، صَالِحًا لِلتَّعْلِيمِ، | ٢ 2 |
it behoveth, therefore, the overseer to be blameless, of one wife a husband, vigilant, sober, decent, a friend of strangers, apt to teach,
غَيْرَ مُدْمِنِ ٱلْخَمْرِ، وَلَا ضَرَّابٍ، وَلَا طَامِعٍ بِٱلرِّبْحِ ٱلْقَبِيحِ، بَلْ حَلِيمًا، غَيْرَ مُخَاصِمٍ، وَلَا مُحِبٍّ لِلْمَالِ، | ٣ 3 |
not given to wine, not a striker, not given to filthy lucre, but gentle, not contentious, not a lover of money,
يُدَبِّرُ بَيْتَهُ حَسَنًا، لَهُ أَوْلَادٌ فِي ٱلْخُضُوعِ بِكُلِّ وَقَارٍ. | ٤ 4 |
his own house leading well, having children in subjection with all gravity,
وَإِنَّمَا إِنْ كَانَ أَحَدٌ لَا يَعْرِفُ أَنْ يُدَبِّرَ بَيْتَهُ، فَكَيْفَ يَعْتَنِي بِكَنِيسَةِ ٱللهِ؟ | ٥ 5 |
(and if any one his own house [how] to lead hath not known, how an assembly of God shall he take care of?)
غَيْرَ حَدِيثِ ٱلْإِيمَانِ لِئَلَّا يَتَصَلَّفَ فَيَسْقُطَ فِي دَيْنُونَةِ إِبْلِيسَ. | ٦ 6 |
not a new convert, lest having been puffed up he may fall to a judgment of the devil;
وَيَجِبُ أَيْضًا أَنْ تَكُونَ لَهُ شَهَادَةٌ حَسَنَةٌ مِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ مِنْ خَارِجٍ، لِئَلَّا يَسْقُطَ فِي تَعْيِيرٍ وَفَخِّ إِبْلِيسَ. | ٧ 7 |
and it behoveth him also to have a good testimony from those without, that he may not fall into reproach and a snare of the devil.
كَذَلِكَ يَجِبُ أَنْ يَكُونَ ٱلشَّمَامِسَةُ ذَوِي وَقَارٍ، لَا ذَوِي لِسَانَيْنِ، غَيْرَ مُولَعِينَ بِٱلْخَمْرِ ٱلْكَثِيرِ، وَلَا طَامِعِينَ بِٱلرِّبْحِ ٱلْقَبِيحِ، | ٨ 8 |
Ministrants — in like manner grave, not double-tongued, not given to much wine, not given to filthy lucre,
وَلَهُمْ سِرُّ ٱلْإِيمَانِ بِضَمِيرٍ طَاهِرٍ. | ٩ 9 |
having the secret of the faith in a pure conscience,
وَإِنَّمَا هَؤُلَاءِ أَيْضًا لِيُخْتَبَرُوا أَوَّلًا، ثُمَّ يَتَشَمَّسُوا إِنْ كَانُوا بِلَا لَوْمٍ. | ١٠ 10 |
and let these also first be proved, then let them minister, being unblameable.
كَذَلِكَ يَجِبُ أَنْ تَكُونَ ٱلنِّسَاءُ ذَوَاتِ وَقَارٍ، غَيْرَ ثَالِبَاتٍ، صَاحِيَاتٍ، أَمِينَاتٍ فِي كُلِّ شَيْءٍ. | ١١ 11 |
Women — in like manner grave, not false accusers, vigilant, faithful in all things.
لِيَكُنِ ٱلشَّمَامِسَةُ كُلٌّ: بَعْلَ ٱمْرَأَةٍ وَاحِدَةٍ، مُدَبِّرِينَ أَوْلَادَهُمْ وَبُيُوتَهُمْ حَسَنًا، | ١٢ 12 |
Ministrants — let them be of one wife husbands; the children leading well, and their own houses,
لِأَنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ تَشَمَّسُوا حَسَنًا، يَقْتَنُونَ لِأَنْفُسِهِمْ دَرَجَةً حَسَنَةً وَثِقَةً كَثِيرَةً فِي ٱلْإِيمَانِ ٱلَّذِي بِٱلْمَسِيحِ يَسُوعَ. | ١٣ 13 |
for those who did minister well a good step to themselves do acquire, and much boldness in faith that [is] in Christ Jesus.
هَذَا أَكْتُبُهُ إِلَيْكَ رَاجِيًا أَنْ آتِيَ إِلَيْكَ عَنْ قَرِيبٍ. | ١٤ 14 |
These things I write to thee, hoping to come unto thee soon,
وَلَكِنْ إِنْ كُنْتُ أُبْطِئُ، فَلِكَيْ تَعْلَمَ كَيْفَ يَجِبُ أَنْ تَتَصَرَّفَ فِي بَيْتِ ٱللهِ، ٱلَّذِي هُوَ كَنِيسَةُ ٱللهِ ٱلْحَيِّ، عَمُودُ ٱلْحَقِّ وَقَاعِدَتُهُ. | ١٥ 15 |
and if I delay, that thou mayest know how it behoveth [thee] to conduct thyself in the house of God, which is an assembly of the living God — a pillar and foundation of the truth,
وَبِٱلْإِجْمَاعِ عَظِيمٌ هُوَ سِرُّ ٱلتَّقْوَى: ٱللهُ ظَهَرَ فِي ٱلْجَسَدِ، تَبَرَّرَ فِي ٱلرُّوحِ، تَرَاءَى لِمَلَائِكَةٍ، كُرِزَ بِهِ بَيْنَ ٱلْأُمَمِ، أُومِنَ بِهِ فِي ٱلْعَالَمِ، رُفِعَ فِي ٱلْمَجْدِ. | ١٦ 16 |
and, confessedly, great is the secret of piety — God was manifested in flesh, declared righteous in spirit, seen by messengers, preached among nations, believed on in the world, taken up in glory!
