1 Peter 2
1 Putting away therefore all wickedness, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envies, and all evil speakings,
| لِذَلِكَ، تَخَلَّصُوا مِنْ كُلِّ أَثَرٍ لِلشَّرِّ وَالْخِدَاعِ وَالرِّيَاءِ وَالْحَسَدِ وَالذَّمِّ. | ١ |
2 as newborn babes, long for the spiritual milk which is without guile, that ye may grow thereby unto salvation;
| وَكَأَطْفَالٍ مَوْلُودِينَ حَدِيثاً، تَشَوَّقُوا إِلَى اللَّبَنِ الرُّوحِيِّ النَّقِيِّ لِكَيْ تَنْمُوا بِهِ إِلَى أَنْ تَبْلُغُوا النَّجَاةَ، | ٢ |
3 if ye have tasted that the Lord is gracious:
| إِنْ كُنْتُمْ حَقّاً قَدْ تَذَوَّقْتُمْ أَنَّ الرَّبَّ طَيِّبٌ! | ٣ |
4 unto whom coming, a living stone, rejected indeed of men, but with God elect, precious,
| فَأَنْتُمْ قَدْ أَتَيْتُمْ إِلَيْهِ، بِاعْتِبَارِهِ الحَجَرَ الحَيَّ الَّذِي رَفَضَهُ النَّاسُ، وَاخْتَارَهُ اللهُ، وَهُوَ ثَمِينٌ عِنْدَهُ. | ٤ |
5 ye also, as living stones, are built up a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.
| إِذَنِ اتَّحِدُوا بِهِ كَحِجَارَةٍ حَيَّةٍ، مَبْنِيِّينَ بَيْتاً رُوحِيًّا، تَكُونُونَ فِيهِ كَهَنَةً مُقَدَّسِينَ تُقَدِّمُونَ لِلهِ ذَبَائِحَ رُوحِيَّةً مَقْبُولَةً لَدَيْهِ بِفَضْلِ يَسُوعَ الْمَسِيحِ. | ٥ |
6 Because it is contained in scripture, Behold, I lay in Zion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: And he that believeth on him shall not be put to shame.
| وَكَمَا يَقُولُ الْكِتَابُ: «هَا أَنَا أَضَعُ فِي صِهْيَوْنَ حَجَرَ زَاوِيَةٍ، مُخْتَاراً وَثَمِيناً. الَّذِي يُؤْمِنُ بِهِ، لَا يَخِيبُ!» | ٦ |
7 For you therefore that believe is the preciousness: but for such as disbelieve, The stone which the builders rejected, The same was made the head of the corner;
| فَإِنَّ هَذَا الْحَجَرَ هُوَ ثَمِينٌ فِي نَظَرِكُمْ، أَنْتُمُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ بِهِ. أَمَّا بِالنِّسْبَةِ إِلَى الَّذِينَ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ، «فَالْحَجَرُ الَّذِي رَفَضَهُ الْبَنَّاؤُونَ صَارَ هُوَ الْحَجَرَ الأَسَاسَ رَأْسَ زَاوِيَةِ الْبَيْتِ»، | ٧ |
8 and, A stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence; for they stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed.
| كَمَا أَنَّهُ هُوَ «الْحَجَرُ الَّذِي يَصْطَدِمُونَ بِهِ، وَالصَّخْرَةُ الَّتِي يَسْقُطُونَ عَلَيْهَا!» وَهُمْ يَسْقُطُونَ لأَنَّهُمْ يَرْفُضُونَ أَنْ يُؤْمِنُوا بِالْكَلِمَةِ. | ٨ |
9 But ye are an elect race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for [God’s] own possession, that ye may show forth the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:
| فَإِنَّ سُقُوطَهُمْ أَمْرٌ حَتْمِيٌّ! وَأَمَّا أَنْتُمْ، فَإِنَّكُمْ تُشَكِّلُونَ جمَاعَةَ كَهَنَةٍ مُلُوكِيَّةً، وَسُلالَةً اخْتَارَهَا اللهُ، وَأُمَّةً كَرَّسَهَا لِنَفْسِهِ، وَشَعْباً امْتَلَكَهُ. وَذَلِكَ لِكَيْ تُخْبِرُوا بِفَضَائِلِ الرَّبِّ، الَّذِي دَعَاكُمْ مِنَ الظَّلامِ إِلَى نُورِهِ الْعَجِيبِ! | ٩ |
10 who in time past were no people, but now are the people of God: who had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.
| فَإِنَّكُمْ فِي الْمَاضِي لَمْ تَكُونُوا شَعْباً؛ أَمَّا الآنَ، فَأَنْتُمْ «شَعْبُ اللهِ وَقَدْ كُنْتُمْ سَابِقاً لَا تَتَمَتَّعُونَ بِرَحْمَةِ اللهِ، أَمَّا الآنَ، فَإِنَّكُمْ تَتَمَتَّعُونَ بِها!» | ١٠ |
11 Beloved, I beseech you as sojourners and pilgrims, to abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul;
| أَيُّهَا الأَحِبَّاءُ، مَا أَنْتُمْ إِلّا غُرَبَاءُ تَزُورُونَ الأَرْضَ زِيَارَةً عَابِرَةً. لِذَلِكَ أَطْلُبُ إِلَيْكُمْ أَنْ تَبْتَعِدُوا عَنِ الشَّهَوَاتِ الْجَسَدِيَّةِ الَّتِي تُصَارِعُ النَّفْسَ. | ١١ |
12 having your behavior seemly among the Gentiles; that, wherein they speak against you as evil-doers, they may by your good works, which they behold, glorify God in the day of visitation.
| وَلْيَكُنْ سُلُوكُكُمْ بَيْنَ الأُمَمِ سُلُوكاً حَسَناً. فَمَعَ أَنَّهُمْ يَتَّهِمُونَكُمْ زُوراً بِأَنَّكُمْ تَفْعَلُونَ الشَّرَّ، فَحِينَ يُلاحِظُونَ أَعْمَالَكُمُ الصَّالِحَةَ يُمَجِّدُونَ اللهَ يَوْمَ يَفْتَقِدُهُمْ. | ١٢ |
13 Be subject to every ordinance of man for the Lord’s sake: whether to the king, as supreme;
| فَإِكْرَاماً لِلرَّبِّ، اخْضَعُوا لِكُلِّ نِظَامٍ يُدِيرُ شُؤُونَ النَّاسِ: لِلْمَلِكِ، بِاعْتِبَارِهِ صَاحِبَ السُّلْطَةِ الْعُلْيَا، | ١٣ |
14 or unto governors, as sent by him for vengeance on evil-doers and for praise to them that do well.
| وَلِلْحُكَّامِ، بِاعْتِبَارِهِمْ مُمَثِّلِي الْمَلِكِ الَّذِينَ يُعَاقِبُونَ الْمُذْنِبِينَ وَيَمْدَحُونَ الصَّالِحِينَ. | ١٤ |
15 For so is the will of God, that by well-doing ye should put to silence the ignorance of foolish men:
| فَإِنَّ هَذِهِ هِيَ إِرَادَةُ اللهِ: أَنْ تَفْعَلُوا الْخَيْرَ دَائِماً، فَتُفْحِمُوا جَهَالَةَ النَّاسِ الأَغْبِيَاءِ! | ١٥ |
16 as free, and not using your freedom for a cloak of wickedness, but as bondservants of God.
| تَصَرَّفُوا كَأَحْرَارٍ حَقّاً، لَا كَالَّذِينَ يَتَّخِذُونَ مِنَ الْحُرِّيَّةِ سِتَاراً لارْتِكَابِ الشَّرِّ بَلْ بِاعْتِبَارِ أَنَّكُمْ عَبِيدٌ لِلهِ. | ١٦ |
17 Honor all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honor the king.
| أَكْرِمُوا جَمِيعَ النَّاسِ. أَحِبُّوا الإِخْوَةَ. خَافُوا اللهَ. أَكْرِمُوا الْمَلِكَ. | ١٧ |
18 Servants, [be] in subjection to your masters with all fear; not only to the good and gentle, but also to the froward.
| أَيُّهَا الْخَدَمُ، اخْضَعُوا لِسَادَتِكُمْ بِاحْتِرَامٍ لائِقٍ. لَيْسَ لِلسَّادَةِ الصَّالِحِينَ الْمُتَرَفِّقِينَ فَقَطْ، بَلْ لِلظَّالِمِينَ الْقُسَاةِ أَيْضاً! | ١٨ |
19 For this is acceptable, if for conscience toward God a man endureth griefs, suffering wrongfully.
| فَمَا أَجْمَلَ أَنْ يَتَحَمَّلَ الإِنْسَانُ الأَحْزَانَ حِينَ يَتَأَلَّمُ مَظْلُوماً، بِدَافِعٍ مِنْ ضَمِيرِهِ الْخَاضِعِ لِلهِ! | ١٩ |
20 For what glory is it, if, when ye sin, and are buffeted [for it], ye shall take it patiently? but if, when ye do well, and suffer [for it], ye shall take it patiently, this is acceptable with God.
| فَبِالْحَقِيقَةِ، أَيُّ مَجْدٍ لَكُمْ إِنْ كُنْتُمْ تَصْبِرُونَ وَأَنْتُمْ تَتَحَمَّلُونَ قَصَاصَ أَخْطَائِكُمْ؟ لَا فَضْلَ لَكُمْ عِنْدَ اللهِ إِلّا إِذَا تَحَمَّلْتُمُ الآلامَ صَابِرِينَ، وَأَنْتُمْ تَفْعَلُونَ الصَّوَابَ. | ٢٠ |
21 For hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example, that ye should follow his steps:
| لأَنَّ اللهَ دَعَاكُمْ إِلى الاشْتِرَاكِ فِي هَذَا النَّوْعِ مِنَ الآلامِ. فَالْمَسِيحُ، الَّذِي تَأَلَّمَ لأَجْلِكُمْ، هُوَ الْقُدْوَةُ الَّتِي تَقْتَدُونَ بِها. فَسِيرُوا عَلَى آثَارِ خُطْوَاتِهِ: | ٢١ |
22 who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth:
| إِنَّهُ لَمْ يَفْعَلْ خَطِيئَةً وَاحِدَةً، وَلا كَانَ فِي فَمِهِ مَكْرٌ. | ٢٢ |
23 who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, threatened not; but committed [himself] to him that judgeth righteously:
| وَمَعَ أَنَّهُ أُهِينَ، فَلَمْ يَكُنْ يَرُدُّ الإِهَانَةَ. وَإِذْ تَحَمَّلَ الآلامَ، لَمْ يَكُنْ يُهَدِّدُ بِالانْتِقَامِ، بَلْ أَسْلَمَ أَمْرَهُ لِلهِ الَّذِي يَحْكُمُ بِالْعَدْلِ. | ٢٣ |
24 who his own self bare our sins in his body upon the tree, that we, having died unto sins, might live unto righteousness; by whose stripes ye were healed.
| وَهُوَ نَفْسُهُ حَمَلَ خَطَايَانَا فِي جَسَدِهِ (عِنْدَمَا مَاتَ مَصْلُوباً) عَلَى الْخَشَبَةِ، لِكَيْ نَمُوتَ بِالنِّسْبَةِ لِلْخَطَايَا فَنَحْيَا حَيَاةَ الْبِرِّ. وَبِجِرَاحِهِ هُوَ تَمَّ لَكُمُ الشِّفَاءُ، | ٢٤ |
25 For ye were going astray like sheep; but are now returned unto the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls.
| فَقَدْ كُنْتُمْ ضَالِّينَ كَخِرَافٍ ضَائِعَةٍ، وَلَكِنَّكُمْ قَدْ رَجَعْتُمُ الآنَ إِلَى رَاعِي نُفُوسِكُمْ وَحَارِسِهَا! | ٢٥ |
