١ تيموثاوس 4

١ 1 وَلَكِنَّ ٱلرُّوحَ يَقُولُ صَرِيحًا: إِنَّهُ فِي ٱلْأَزْمِنَةِ ٱلْأَخِيرَةِ يَرْتَدُّ قَوْمٌ عَنِ ٱلْإِيمَانِ، تَابِعِينَ أَرْوَاحًا مُضِلَّةً وَتَعَالِيمَ شَيَاطِينَ،

Now the Spirit has clearly said that, in the end times, some persons will depart from the faith, paying attention to spirits of error and the doctrines of devils,

٢ 2 فِي رِيَاءِ أَقْوَالٍ كَاذِبَةٍ، مَوْسُومَةً ضَمَائِرُهُمْ،

speaking lies in hypocrisy, and having their consciences seared,

٣ 3 مَانِعِينَ عَنِ ٱلزِّوَاجِ، وَآمِرِينَ أَنْ يُمْتَنَعَ عَنْ أَطْعِمَةٍ قَدْ خَلَقَهَا ٱللهُ لِتُتَنَاوَلَ بِٱلشُّكْرِ مِنَ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَعَارِفِي ٱلْحَقِّ.

prohibiting marriage, abstaining from foods, which God has created to be accepted with thanksgiving by the faithful and by those who have understood the truth.

٤ 4 لِأَنَّ كُلَّ خَلِيقَةِ ٱللهِ جَيِّدَةٌ، وَلَا يُرْفَضُ شَيْءٌ إِذَا أُخِذَ مَعَ ٱلشُّكْرِ،

For every creature of God is good, and nothing is to be rejected which is received with thanksgiving;

٥ 5 لِأَنَّهُ يُقَدَّسُ بِكَلِمَةِ ٱللهِ وَٱلصَّلَاةِ.

for it has been sanctified by the Word of God and by prayer.

٦ 6 إِنْ فَكَّرْتَ ٱلْإِخْوَةَ بِهَذَا، تَكُونُ خَادِمًا صَالِحًا لِيَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ، مُتَرَبِّيًا بِكَلَامِ ٱلْإِيمَانِ وَٱلتَّعْلِيمِ ٱلْحَسَنِ ٱلَّذِي تَتَبَّعْتَهُ.

By proposing these things to the brothers, you will be a good minister of Christ Jesus, nourished by words of faith, and by the good doctrine that you have secured.

٧ 7 وَأَمَّا ٱلْخُرَافَاتُ ٱلدَّنِسَةُ ٱلْعَجَائِزِيَّةُ فَٱرْفُضْهَا، وَرَوِّضْ نَفْسَكَ لِلتَّقْوَى.

But avoid the silly fables of old women. And exercise yourself so as to advance in piety.

٨ 8 لِأَنَّ ٱلرِّيَاضَةَ ٱلْجَسَدِيَّةَ نَافِعَةٌ لِقَلِيلٍ، وَلَكِنَّ ٱلتَّقْوَى نَافِعَةٌ لِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ، إِذْ لَهَا مَوْعِدُ ٱلْحَيَاةِ ٱلْحَاضِرَةِ وَٱلْعَتِيدَةِ،

For the exercise of the body is somewhat useful. But piety is useful in all things, holding the promise of life, in the present and in the future.

٩ 9 صَادِقَةٌ هِيَ ٱلْكَلِمَةُ وَمُسْتَحِقَّةٌ كُلَّ قُبُولٍ.

This is a faithful saying and worthy of full acceptance.

١٠ 10 لِأَنَّنَا لِهَذَا نَتْعَبُ وَنُعَيَّرُ، لِأَنَّنَا قَدْ أَلْقَيْنَا رَجَاءَنَا عَلَى ٱللهِ ٱلْحَيِّ، ٱلَّذِي هُوَ مُخَلِّصُ جَمِيعِ ٱلنَّاسِ، وَلَا سِيَّمَا ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ.

For this reason we labor and are maligned: because we hope in the living God, who is the Savior of all men, most especially of the faithful.

١١ 11 أَوْصِ بِهَذَا وَعَلِّمْ.

Instruct and teach these things.

١٢ 12 لَا يَسْتَهِنْ أَحَدٌ بِحَدَاثَتِكَ، بَلْ كُنْ قُدْوَةً لِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ: فِي ٱلْكَلَامِ، فِي ٱلتَّصَرُّفِ، فِي ٱلْمَحَبَّةِ، فِي ٱلرُّوحِ، فِي ٱلْإِيمَانِ، فِي ٱلطَّهَارَةِ.

Let no one despise your youth, but be an example among the faithful in word, in behavior, in charity, in faith, in chastity.

١٣ 13 إِلَى أَنْ أَجِيءَ ٱعْكُفْ عَلَى ٱلْقِرَاءَةِ وَٱلْوَعْظِ وَٱلتَّعْلِيمِ.

Until I arrive, attend to reading, to exhortation, and to doctrine.

١٤ 14 لَا تُهْمِلِ ٱلْمَوْهِبَةَ ٱلَّتِي فِيكَ، ٱلْمُعْطَاةَ لَكَ بِٱلنُّبُوَّةِ مَعَ وَضْعِ أَيْدِي ٱلْمَشْيَخَةِ.

Do not be willing to neglect the grace that is within you, which was given to you through prophecy, with the imposition of the hands of the priesthood.

١٥ 15 ٱهْتَمَّ بِهَذَا. كُنْ فِيهِ، لِكَيْ يَكُونَ تَقَدُّمُكَ ظَاهِرًا فِي كُلِّ شَيْءٍ.

Meditate on these things, so that your progress may be manifest to all.

١٦ 16 لَاحِظْ نَفْسَكَ وَٱلتَّعْلِيمَ وَدَاوِمْ عَلَى ذَلِكَ، لِأَنَّكَ إِذَا فَعَلْتَ هَذَا، تُخَلِّصُ نَفْسَكَ وَٱلَّذِينَ يَسْمَعُونَكَ أَيْضًا.

Pay attention to yourself and to doctrine. Pursue these things. For in doing so, you will save both yourself and those who listen to you.
