ذَكِّرْهُمْ أَنْ يَخْضَعُوا لِلرِّيَاسَاتِ وَٱلسَّلَاطِينِ، وَيُطِيعُوا، وَيَكُونُوا مُسْتَعِدِّينَ لِكُلِّ عَمَلٍ صَالِحٍ، ١ 1
Remind them to subordinate themselves to rulers and authorities, to be obedient, to be ready for every good work,
وَلَا يَطْعَنُوا فِي أَحَدٍ، وَيَكُونُوا غَيْرَ مُخَاصِمِينَ، حُلَمَاءَ، مُظْهِرِينَ كُلَّ وَدَاعَةٍ لِجَمِيعِ ٱلنَّاسِ. ٢ 2
to slander no one, to be peaceable, gentle, demonstrating true humility to all men.
لِأَنَّنَا كُنَّا نَحْنُ أَيْضًا قَبْلًا أَغْبِيَاءَ، غَيْرَ طَائِعِينَ، ضَالِّينَ، مُسْتَعْبَدِينَ لِشَهَوَاتٍ وَلَذَّاتٍ مُخْتَلِفَةٍ، عَائِشِينَ فِي ٱلْخُبْثِ وَٱلْحَسَدِ، مَمْقُوتِينَ، مُبْغِضِينَ بَعْضُنَا بَعْضًا. ٣ 3
Because we ourselves were also foolish at one time, disobedient, being deceived, being enslaved to various lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, detestable, hating one another.
وَلَكِنْ حِينَ ظَهَرَ لُطْفُ مُخَلِّصِنَا ٱللهِ وَإِحْسَانُهُ - ٤ 4
But when the kindness of our Savior God and His love toward mankind manifested itself,
لَا بِأَعْمَالٍ فِي بِرٍّ عَمِلْنَاهَا نَحْنُ، بَلْ بِمُقْتَضَى رَحْمَتِهِ - خَلَّصَنَا بِغُسْلِ ٱلْمِيلَادِ ٱلثَّانِي وَتَجْدِيدِ ٱلرُّوحِ ٱلْقُدُسِ، ٥ 5
He saved us—not because of righteous deeds that we ourselves had done but according to His mercy, by means of the bath of regeneration and renewal by the Holy Spirit,
ٱلَّذِي سَكَبَهُ بِغِنًى عَلَيْنَا بِيَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ مُخَلِّصِنَا. ٦ 6
whom He poured out on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior,
حَتَّى إِذَا تَبَرَّرْنَا بِنِعْمَتِهِ، نَصِيرُ وَرَثَةً حَسَبَ رَجَاءِ ٱلْحَيَاةِ ٱلْأَبَدِيَّةِ. (aiōnios g166) ٧ 7
so that having been justified by His grace we might become heirs according to the hope of eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
صَادِقَةٌ هِيَ ٱلْكَلِمَةُ. وَأُرِيدُ أَنْ تُقَرِّرَ هَذِهِ ٱلْأُمُورَ، لِكَيْ يَهْتَمَّ ٱلَّذِينَ آمَنُوا بِٱللهِ أَنْ يُمَارِسُوا أَعْمَالًا حَسَنَةً. فَإِنَّ هَذِهِ ٱلْأُمُورَ هِيَ ٱلْحَسَنَةُ وَٱلنَّافِعَةُ لِلنَّاسِ. ٨ 8
The above is a trustworthy statement and I want you to insist on these things, so that those who have trusted in God may be concerned to take the lead in good works. These things are good and profitable for mankind.
وَأَمَّا ٱلْمُبَاحَثَاتُ ٱلْغَبِيَّةُ، وَٱلْأَنْسَابُ، وَٱلْخُصُومَاتُ، وَٱلْمُنَازَعَاتُ ٱلنَّامُوسِيةُ فَٱجْتَنِبْهَا، لِأَنَّهَا غَيْرُ نَافِعَةٍ، وَبَاطِلَةٌ. ٩ 9
But avoid foolish arguments and genealogies and contentions and disputes about the law, because they are unprofitable and useless.
اَلرَّجُلُ ٱلْمُبْتَدِعُ بَعْدَ ٱلْإِنْذَارِ مَرَّةً وَمَرَّتَيْنِ، أَعْرِضْ عَنْهُ. ١٠ 10
Excommunicate a divisive man after a first and second admonition,
عَالِمًا أَنَّ مِثْلَ هَذَا قَدِ ٱنْحَرَفَ، وَهُوَ يُخْطِئُ مَحْكُومًا عَلَيْهِ مِنْ نَفْسِهِ. ١١ 11
knowing that such a person has been perverted and is sinning, being self-condemned.
حِينَمَا أُرْسِلُ إِلَيْكَ أَرْتِيمَاسَ أَوْ تِيخِيكُسَ، بَادِرْ أَنْ تَأْتِيَ إِلَيَّ إِلَى نِيكُوبُولِيسَ، لِأَنِّي عَزَمْتُ أَنْ أُشَتِّيَ هُنَاكَ. ١٢ 12
As soon as I send Artemas or Tychicus to you, do your best to come to me at Nicopolis, because I have decided to spend the winter there.
جَهِّزْ زِينَاسَ ٱلنَّامُوسِيَّ وَأَبُلُّوسَ بِٱجْتِهَادٍ لِلسَّفَرِ حَتَّى لَا يُعْوِزَهُمَا شَيْءٌ. ١٣ 13
Send Zenas the lawyer and Apollos on their way without delay, that they may lack nothing.
وَلْيَتَعَلَّمْ مَنْ لَنَا أَيْضًا أَنْ يُمَارِسُوا أَعْمَالًا حَسَنَةً لِلْحَاجَاتِ ٱلضَّرُورِيَّةِ، حَتَّى لَا يَكُونُوا بِلَا ثَمَرٍ. ١٤ 14
And let our people also learn to maintain good works, to meet pressing needs, that they not be unfruitful.
يُسَلِّمُ عَلَيْكَ ٱلَّذِينَ مَعِي جَمِيعًا. سَلِّمْ عَلَى ٱلَّذِينَ يُحِبُّونَنَا فِي ٱلْإِيمَانِ. اَلنِّعْمَةُ مَعَ جَمِيعِكُمْ. آمِينَ. ١٥ 15
All who are with me greet you. Greet those who love us in faith. Grace be with you all. Amen.
