كُولُوسِي 3

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

IF ye then be risen with Christ, seek the things which are above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God.

٢ 2 ٱهْتَمُّوا بِمَا فَوْقُ لَا بِمَا عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ،

Fix your minds 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 shall appear, who is our life, then shall you also with him be manifested 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 on the earth, fornication, impurity, the vile passion, evil concupiscence, and insatiable desire, which is idolatry:

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

for which things the wrath of God cometh upon the children of disobedience;

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

in which ye also walked formerly when ye lived among them:

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

but now ye have put away all these things, anger, asperity, malice, scandal, obscenity, 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 practices;

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 no difference whether a man be Greek or Jew, circumcised or uncircumcised, barbarian or Scythian, slave or freeman: 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, bowels of mercies, kindness, humility, meekness, long-suffering;

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 freely forgiving one another, if any man hath a complaint against another: even as Christ hath freely forgiven you, so also do ye.

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

But above all these things put on love, which is the bond of perfection.

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

And let the peace of God set up its throne in your hearts, whereunto also ye have been 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 yourselves in psalms, and hymns, and spiritual canticles, singing with grace in your heart unto the Lord.

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

And everything that ye do in word or in work, 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 be subject to your own husbands, as is fit in the Lord.

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

Husbands, love your wives, and use no asperity against them.

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

Children, be obedient to your parents in all things; for this is well-pleasing to the Lord.

٢١ 21 أَيُّهَا ٱلْآبَاءُ، لَا تُغِيظُوا أَوْلَادَكُمْ لِئَلَّا يَفْشَلُوا.

Parents, irritate not your children, lest their spirit be broken.

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 after the flesh, not with eye-service as men-pleasers, but, in simplicity of heart, fearing God.

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

And in every thing that ye do, labour from the soul, as for the Lord, and not man;

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 are servants to the Lord Christ.

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

But he that is guilty of injustice shall receive punishment for the wrong he hath done: and there is no respect of persons.
