كُولُوسِي 3

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

If then God has raised you with Christ, seek the things above, where Christ is sitting at the right hand of God.

٢ 2 ٱهْتَمُّوا بِمَا فَوْقُ لَا بِمَا عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ،

Think about the things above, not about the things on earth.

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

For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.

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

When Christ appears, who is your life, then you will also appear with him in glory.

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

Put to death, then, the members that are on earth—sexual immorality, uncleanness, passion, evil desire, and greed, which is idolatry.

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

It is for these things that the wrath of God is coming on the sons of disobedience.

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

It is in these things that you also once walked when you lived in them.

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

But now you must get rid of all these things—wrath, anger, evil intentions, insults, and obscene speech from your mouth.

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

Do not lie to one another, since you have taken off the old man with its practices,

١٠ 10 وَلَبِسْتُمُ ٱلْجَدِيدَ ٱلَّذِي يَتَجَدَّدُ لِلْمَعْرِفَةِ حَسَبَ صُورَةِ خَالِقِهِ،

and you have put on the new man that is being made new in knowledge according to the image of the one who created it.

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

This is where there is no Greek and Jew, circumcision and uncircumcision, barbarian, Scythian, slave, freeman, but Christ is all, and is in all.

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

Therefore, as God's chosen ones, holy and beloved, put on a heart of mercy, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience.

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

Bear with one another. Be gracious to each other. If someone has a complaint against someone else, forgive in the same way that the Lord has forgiven you.

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

Above all these things, have love, which is the bond of perfection.

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

Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts. It was for this peace that you were called in one body. And be 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 live in you richly. With all wisdom teach and admonish one another with psalms and hymns and spiritual songs. Sing with thankfulness in your hearts to God.

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

Whatever you do, in word or in deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus. Give thanks to God the Father through him.

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

Wives, submit to your husbands, as it is appropriate in the Lord.

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

Husbands, love your wives, and do not be 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 pleasing in the Lord.

٢١ 21 أَيُّهَا ٱلْآبَاءُ، لَا تُغِيظُوا أَوْلَادَكُمْ لِئَلَّا يَفْشَلُوا.

Fathers, do not provoke your children, so that they will not be discouraged.

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

Slaves, obey your masters according to the flesh in all things, not with eyeservice as people pleasers, but with a sincere heart. Fear the Lord.

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

Whatever you do, work from the soul as to the Lord and not as to people.

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

You know that you will receive from the Lord the reward of the inheritance. It is the Lord Christ whom you serve.

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

For anyone who does unrighteousness will receive the penalty for the unrighteousness that he did, and there is no favoritism.
