كُولُوسِي 3

١ 1 فَإِنْ كُنْتُمْ قَدْ قُمْتُمْ مَعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ فَٱطْلُبُوا مَا فَوْقُ، حَيْثُ ٱلْمَسِيحُ جَالِسٌ عَنْ يَمِينِ ٱللهِ.

If ye then were raised with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.

٢ 2 ٱهْتَمُّوا بِمَا فَوْقُ لَا بِمَا عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ،

Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.

٣ 3 لِأَنَّكُمْ قَدْ مُتُّمْ وَحَيَاتُكُمْ مُسْتَتِرَةٌ مَعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ فِي ٱللهِ.

For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.

٤ 4 مَتَى أُظْهِرَ ٱلْمَسِيحُ حَيَاتُنَا، فَحِينَئِذٍ تُظْهَرُونَ أَنْتُمْ أَيْضًا مَعَهُ فِي ٱلْمَجْدِ.

When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory.

٥ 5 فَأَمِيتُوا أَعْضَاءَكُمُ ٱلَّتِي عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ: ٱلزِّنَا، ٱلنَّجَاسَةَ، ٱلْهَوَى، ٱلشَّهْوَةَ ٱلرَّدِيَّةَ، ٱلطَّمَعَ -ٱلَّذِي هُوَ عِبَادَةُ ٱلْأَوْثَانِ-

Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; immorality, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry:

٦ 6 ٱلْأُمُورَ ٱلَّتِي مِنْ أَجْلِهَا يَأْتِي غَضَبُ ٱللهِ عَلَى أَبْنَاءِ ٱلْمَعْصِيَةِ،

For which things’ the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience:

٧ 7 ٱلَّذِينَ بَيْنَهُمْ أَنْتُمْ أَيْضًا سَلَكْتُمْ قَبْلًا، حِينَ كُنْتُمْ تَعِيشُونَ فِيهَا.

In which ye also walked once, when ye lived with them.

٨ 8 وَأَمَّا ٱلْآنَ فَٱطْرَحُوا عَنْكُمْ أَنْتُمْ أَيْضًا ٱلْكُلَّ: ٱلْغَضَبَ، ٱلسَّخَطَ، ٱلْخُبْثَ، ٱلتَّجْدِيفَ، ٱلْكَلَامَ ٱلْقَبِيحَ مِنْ أَفْوَاهِكُمْ.

But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth.

٩ 9 لَا تَكْذِبُوا بَعْضُكُمْ عَلَى بَعْضٍ، إِذْ خَلَعْتُمُ ٱلْإِنْسَانَ ٱلْعَتِيقَ مَعَ أَعْمَالِهِ،

Lie not one to another, seeing ye have put off the old man with his deeds;

١٠ 10 وَلَبِسْتُمُ ٱلْجَدِيدَ ٱلَّذِي يَتَجَدَّدُ لِلْمَعْرِفَةِ حَسَبَ صُورَةِ خَالِقِهِ،

And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him:

١١ 11 حَيْثُ لَيْسَ يُونَانِيٌّ وَيَهُودِيٌّ، خِتَانٌ وَغُرْلَةٌ، بَرْبَرِيٌّ سِكِّيثِيٌّ، عَبْدٌ حُرٌّ، بَلِ ٱلْمَسِيحُ ٱلْكُلُّ وَفِي ٱلْكُلِّ.

Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free: but Christ is all, and in all.

١٢ 12 فَٱلْبَسُوا كَمُخْتَارِي ٱللهِ ٱلْقِدِّيسِينَ ٱلْمَحْبُوبِينَ أَحْشَاءَ رَأْفَاتٍ، وَلُطْفًا، وَتَوَاضُعًا، وَوَدَاعَةً، وَطُولَ أَنَاةٍ،

Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, tender mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering;

١٣ 13 مُحْتَمِلِينَ بَعْضُكُمْ بَعْضًا، وَمُسَامِحِينَ بَعْضُكُمْ بَعْضًا. إِنْ كَانَ لِأَحَدٍ عَلَى أَحَدٍ شَكْوَى، كَمَا غَفَرَ لَكُمُ ٱلْمَسِيحُ هَكَذَا أَنْتُمْ أَيْضًا.

Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man hath a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye.

١٤ 14 وَعَلَى جَمِيعِ هَذِهِ ٱلْبَسُوا ٱلْمَحَبَّةَ ٱلَّتِي هِيَ رِبَاطُ ٱلْكَمَالِ.

And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness.

١٥ 15 وَلْيَمْلِكْ فِي قُلُوبِكُمْ سَلَامُ ٱللهِ ٱلَّذِي إِلَيْهِ دُعِيتُمْ فِي جَسَدٍ وَاحِدٍ، وَكُونُوا شَاكِرِينَ.

And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful.

١٦ 16 لِتَسْكُنْ فِيكُمْ كَلِمَةُ ٱلْمَسِيحِ بِغِنًى، وَأَنْتُمْ بِكُلِّ حِكْمَةٍ مُعَلِّمُونَ وَمُنْذِرُونَ بَعْضُكُمْ بَعْضًا، بِمَزَامِيرَ وَتَسَابِيحَ وَأَغَانِيَّ رُوحِيَّةٍ، بِنِعْمَةٍ، مُتَرَنِّمِينَ فِي قُلُوبِكُمْ لِلرَّبِّ.

Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.

١٧ 17 وَكُلُّ مَا عَمِلْتُمْ بِقَوْلٍ أَوْ فِعْلٍ، فَٱعْمَلُوا ٱلْكُلَّ بِٱسْمِ ٱلرَّبِّ يَسُوعَ، شَاكِرِينَ ٱللهَ وَٱلْآبَ بِهِ.

And whatever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.

١٨ 18 أَيَّتُهَا ٱلنِّسَاءُ، ٱخْضَعْنَ لِرِجَالِكُنَّ كَمَا يَلِيقُ فِي ٱلرَّبِّ.

Wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands, as it is fit in the Lord.

١٩ 19 أَيُّهَا ٱلرِّجَالُ، أَحِبُّوا نِسَاءَكُمْ، وَلَا تَكُونُوا قُسَاةً عَلَيْهِنَّ.

Husbands, love your wives, and be not bitter against them.

٢٠ 20 أَيُّهَا ٱلْأَوْلَادُ، أَطِيعُوا وَالِدِيكُمْ فِي كُلِّ شَيْءٍ لِأَنَّ هَذَا مَرْضِيٌّ فِي ٱلرَّبِّ.

Children, obey your parents in all things: for this is well pleasing to the Lord.

٢١ 21 أَيُّهَا ٱلْآبَاءُ، لَا تُغِيظُوا أَوْلَادَكُمْ لِئَلَّا يَفْشَلُوا.

Fathers, provoke not your children to anger, lest they be discouraged.

٢٢ 22 أَيُّهَا ٱلْعَبِيدُ، أَطِيعُوا فِي كُلِّ شَيْءٍ سَادَتَكُمْ حَسَبَ ٱلْجَسَدِ، لَا بِخِدْمَةِ ٱلْعَيْنِ كَمَنْ يُرْضِي ٱلنَّاسَ، بَلْ بِبَسَاطَةِ ٱلْقَلْبِ، خَائِفِينَ ٱلرَّبَّ.

Servants, obey in all things your masters according to the flesh; not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but in singleness of heart, fearing God:

٢٣ 23 وَكُلُّ مَا فَعَلْتُمْ، فَٱعْمَلُوا مِنَ ٱلْقَلْبِ، كَمَا لِلرَّبِّ لَيْسَ لِلنَّاسِ،

And whatever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not to men;

٢٤ 24 عَالِمِينَ أَنَّكُمْ مِنَ ٱلرَّبِّ سَتَأْخُذُونَ جَزَاءَ ٱلْمِيرَاثِ، لِأَنَّكُمْ تَخْدِمُونَ ٱلرَّبَّ ٱلْمَسِيحَ.

Knowing that from the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ.

٢٥ 25 وَأَمَّا ٱلظَّالِمُ فَسَينَالُ مَا ظَلَمَ بِهِ، وَلَيْسَ مُحَابَاةٌ.

But he that doeth wrong shall receive for the wrong which he hath done: and there is no respect of persons.
