| 1 فَكُونُوا مُتَمَثِّلِينَ بِاللهِ كَأَوْلاَدٍ أَحِبَّاءَ، | 1 Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children; |
|
| 2 وَاسْلُكُوا فِي الْمَحَبَّةِ كَمَا أَحَبَّنَا الْمَسِيحُ أَيْضًا وَأَسْلَمَ نَفْسَهُ لأَجْلِنَا، قُرْبَانًا وَذَبِيحَةً للهِ رَائِحَةً طَيِّبَةً. | 2 And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour. |
|
| 3 وَأَمَّا الزِّنَا وَكُلُّ نَجَاسَةٍ أَوْ طَمَعٍ فَلاَ يُسَمَّ بَيْنَكُمْ كَمَا يَلِيقُ بِقِدِّيسِينَ، | 3 But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints; |
|
| 4 وَلاَ الْقَبَاحَةُ، وَلاَ كَلاَمُ السَّفَاهَةِ، وَالْهَزْلُ الَّتِي لاَ تَلِيقُ، بَلْ بِالْحَرِيِّ الشُّكْرُ. | 4 Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not convenient: but rather giving of thanks. |
|
5 فَإِنَّكُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ هذَا أَنَّ كُلَّ زَانٍ أَوْ نَجِسٍ أَوْ طَمَّاعٍ الَّذِي هُوَ عَابِدٌ لِلأَوْثَانِ لَيْسَ لَهُ مِيرَاثٌ فِي مَلَكُوتِ الْمَسِيحِ وَاللهِ.  | 5 For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God. |
|
| 6 لاَ يَغُرَّكُمْ أَحَدٌ بِكَلاَمٍ بَاطِل، لأَنَّهُ بِسَبَبِ هذِهِ الأُمُورِ يَأْتِي غَضَبُ اللهِ عَلَى أَبْنَاءِ الْمَعْصِيَةِ. | 6 Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience. |
|
| 7 فَلاَ تَكُونُوا شُرَكَاءَهُمْ. | 7 Be not ye therefore partakers with them. |
|
| 8 لأَنَّكُمْ كُنْتُمْ قَبْلاً ظُلْمَةً، وَأَمَّا الآنَ فَنُورٌ فِي الرَّبِّ. اسْلُكُوا كَأَوْلاَدِ نُورٍ. | 8 For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light: |
|
| 9 لأَنَّ ثَمَرَ الرُّوحِ هُوَ فِي كُلِّ صَلاَحٍ وَبِرّ وَحَقّ. | 9 (For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth;) |
|
| 10 مُخْتَبِرِينَ مَا هُوَ مَرْضِيٌّ عِنْدَ الرَّبِّ. | 10 Proving what is acceptable unto the Lord. |
|
| 11 وَلاَ تَشْتَرِكُوا فِي أَعْمَالِ الظُّلْمَةِ غَيْرِ الْمُثْمِرَةِ بَلْ بِالْحَرِيِّ وَبِّخُوهَا. | 11 And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them. |
|
| 12 لأَنَّ الأُمُورَ الْحَادِثَةَ مِنْهُمْ سِرًّا، ذِكْرُهَا أَيْضًا قَبِيحٌ. | 12 For it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done of them in secret. |
|
| 13 وَلكِنَّ الْكُلَّ إِذَا تَوَبَّخَ يُظْهَرُ بِالنُّورِ. لأَنَّ كُلَّ مَا أُظْهِرَ فَهُوَ نُورٌ. | 13 But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light: for whatsoever doth make manifest is light. |
|
| 14 لِذلِكَ يَقُولُ: «اسْتَيْقِظْ أَيُّهَا النَّائِمُ وَقُمْ مِنَ الأَمْوَاتِ فَيُضِيءَ لَكَ الْمَسِيحُ». | 14 Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light. |
|
| 15 فَانْظُرُوا كَيْفَ تَسْلُكُونَ بِالتَّدْقِيقِ، لاَ كَجُهَلاَءَ بَلْ كَحُكَمَاءَ، | 15 See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, |
|
| 16 مُفْتَدِينَ الْوَقْتَ لأَنَّ الأَيَّامَ شِرِّيرَةٌ. | 16 Redeeming the time, because the days are evil. |
|
| 17 مِنْ أَجْلِ ذلِكَ لاَ تَكُونُوا أَغْبِيَاءَ بَلْ فَاهِمِينَ مَا هِيَ مَشِيئَةُ الرَّبِّ. | 17 Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is. |
|
| 18 وَلاَ تَسْكَرُوا بِالْخَمْرِ الَّذِي فِيهِ الْخَلاَعَةُ، بَلِ امْتَلِئُوا بِالرُّوحِ، | 18 And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit; |
|
| 19 مُكَلِّمِينَ بَعْضُكُمْ بَعْضًا بِمَزَامِيرَ وَتَسَابِيحَ وَأَغَانِيَّ رُوحِيَّةٍ، مُتَرَنِّمِينَ وَمُرَتِّلِينَ فِي قُلُوبِكُمْ لِلرَّبِّ. | 19 Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord; |
|
| 20 شَاكِرِينَ كُلَّ حِينٍ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ فِي اسْمِ رَبِّنَا يَسُوعَ الْمَسِيحِ، ِللهِ وَالآبِ. | 20 Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ; |
|
| 21 خَاضِعِينَ بَعْضُكُمْ لِبَعْضٍ فِي خَوْفِ اللهِ. | 21 Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God. |
|
| 22 أَيُّهَا النِّسَاءُ اخْضَعْنَ لِرِجَالِكُنَّ كَمَا لِلرَّبِّ، | 22 Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord. |
|
| 23 لأَنَّ الرَّجُلَ هُوَ رَأْسُ الْمَرْأَةِ كَمَا أَنَّ الْمَسِيحَ أَيْضًا رَأْسُ الْكَنِيسَةِ، وَهُوَ مُخَلِّصُ الْجَسَدِ. | 23 For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body. |
|
| 24 وَلكِنْ كَمَا تَخْضَعُ الْكَنِيسَةُ لِلْمَسِيحِ، كَذلِكَ النِّسَاءُ لِرِجَالِهِنَّ فِي كُلِّ شَيْءٍ. | 24 Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing. |
|
| 25 أَيُّهَا الرِّجَالُ، أَحِبُّوا نِسَاءَكُمْ كَمَا أَحَبَّ الْمَسِيحُ أَيْضًا الْكَنِيسَةَ وَأَسْلَمَ نَفْسَهُ لأَجْلِهَا، | 25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; |
|
| 26 لِكَيْ يُقَدِّسَهَا، مُطَهِّرًا إِيَّاهَا بِغَسْلِ الْمَاءِ بِالْكَلِمَةِ، | 26 That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, |
|
| 27 لِكَيْ يُحْضِرَهَا لِنَفْسِهِ كَنِيسَةً مَجِيدَةً، لاَ دَنَسَ فِيهَا وَلاَ غَضْنَ أَوْ شَيْءٌ مِنْ مِثْلِ ذلِكَ، بَلْ تَكُونُ مُقَدَّسَةً وَبِلاَ عَيْبٍ. | 27 That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish. |
|
| 28 كَذلِكَ يَجِبُ عَلَى الرِّجَالِ أَنْ يُحِبُّوا نِسَاءَهُمْ كَأَجْسَادِهِمْ. مَنْ يُحِبُّ امْرَأَتَهُ يُحِبُّ نَفْسَهُ. | 28 So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself. |
|
| 29 فَإِنَّهُ لَمْ يُبْغِضْ أَحَدٌ جَسَدَهُ قَطُّ، بَلْ يَقُوتُهُ وَيُرَبِّيهِ، كَمَا الرَّبُّ أَيْضًا لِلْكَنِيسَةِ. | 29 For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church: |
|
| 30 لأَنَّنَا أَعْضَاءُ جِسْمِهِ، مِنْ لَحْمِهِ وَمِنْ عِظَامِهِ. | 30 For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones. |
|
| 31 «مِنْ أَجْلِ هذَا يَتْرُكُ الرَّجُلُ أَبَاهُ وَأُمَّهُ وَيَلْتَصِقُ بِامْرَأَتِهِ، وَيَكُونُ الاثْنَانِ جَسَدًا وَاحِدًا». | 31 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh. |
|
| 32 هذَا السِّرُّ عَظِيمٌ، وَلكِنَّنِي أَنَا أَقُولُ مِنْ نَحْوِ الْمَسِيحِ وَالْكَنِيسَةِ. | 32 This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church. |
|
| 33 وَأَمَّا أَنْتُمُ الأَفْرَادُ، فَلْيُحِبَّ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ امْرَأَتَهُ هكَذَا كَنَفْسِهِ، وَأَمَّا الْمَرْأَةُ فَلْتَهَبْ رَجُلَهَا. | 33 Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself; and the wife see that she reverence her husband. |
