الصلاة والعبادة الجماعية | |
| 1 فَأَطْلُبُ أَوَّلَ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ، أَنْ تُقَامَ طَلِبَاتٌ وَصَلَوَاتٌ وَابْتِهَالاَتٌ وَتَشَكُّرَاتٌ لأَجْلِ جَمِيعِ النَّاسِ، | 1 I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; |
|
| 2 لأَجْلِ الْمُلُوكِ وَجَمِيعِ الَّذِينَ هُمْ فِي مَنْصِبٍ، لِكَيْ نَقْضِيَ حَيَاةً مُطْمَئِنَّةً هَادِئَةً فِي كُلِّ تَقْوَى وَوَقَارٍ، | 2 For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty. |
|
| 3 لأَنَّ هذَا حَسَنٌ وَمَقْبُولٌ لَدَى مُخَلِّصِنَا اللهِ، | 3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; |
|
| 4 الَّذِي يُرِيدُ أَنَّ جَمِيعَ النَّاسِ يَخْلُصُونَ، وَإِلَى مَعْرِفَةِ الْحَقِّ يُقْبِلُونَ. | 4 Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth. |
|
| 5 لأَنَّهُ يُوجَدُ إِلهٌ وَاحِدٌ وَوَسِيطٌ وَاحِدٌ بَيْنَ اللهِ وَالنَّاسِ: الإِنْسَانُ يَسُوعُ الْمَسِيحُ، | 5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; |
|
| 6 الَّذِي بَذَلَ نَفْسَهُ فِدْيَةً لأَجْلِ الْجَمِيعِ، الشَّهَادَةُ فِي أَوْقَاتِهَا الْخَاصَّةِ، | 6 Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time. |
|
| 7 الَّتِي جُعِلْتُ أَنَا لَهَا كَارِزًا وَرَسُولاً. اَلْحَقَّ أَقُولُ فِي الْمَسِيحِ وَلاَ أَكْذِبُ، مُعَلِّمًا لِلأُمَمِ فِي الإِيمَانِ وَالْحَقِّ. | 7 Whereunto I am ordained a preacher, and an apostle, (I speak the truth in Christ, and lie not;) a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and verity. |
|
| 8 فَأُرِيدُ أَنْ يُصَلِّيَ الرِّجَالُ فِي كُلِّ مَكَانٍ، رَافِعِينَ أَيَادِيَ طَاهِرَةً، بِدُونِ غَضَبٍ وَلاَ جِدَال. | 8 I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting. |
|
9 وَكَذلِكَ أَنَّ النِّسَاءَ يُزَيِّنَّ ذَوَاتِهِنَّ بِلِبَاسِ الْحِشْمَةِ، مَعَ وَرَعٍ وَتَعَقُّل، لاَ بِضَفَائِرَ أَوْ ذَهَبٍ أَوْ لآلِئَ أَوْ مَلاَبِسَ كَثِيرَةِ الثَّمَنِ،  | 9 In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array; |
|
| 10 بَلْ كَمَا يَلِيقُ بِنِسَاءٍ مُتَعَاهِدَاتٍ بِتَقْوَى اللهِ بِأَعْمَال صَالِحَةٍ. | 10 But (which becometh women professing godliness) with good works. |
|
| 11 لِتَتَعَلَّمِ الْمَرْأَةُ بِسُكُوتٍ فِي كُلِّ خُضُوعٍ. | 11 Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection. |
|
| 12 وَلكِنْ لَسْتُ آذَنُ لِلْمَرْأَةِ أَنْ تُعَلِّمَ وَلاَ تَتَسَلَّطَ عَلَى الرَّجُلِ، بَلْ تَكُونُ فِي سُكُوتٍ، | 12 But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. |
|
| 13 لأَنَّ آدَمَ جُبِلَ أَوَّلاً ثُمَّ حَوَّاءُ، | 13 For Adam was first formed, then Eve. |
|
| 14 وَآدَمُ لَمْ يُغْوَ، لكِنَّ الْمَرْأَةَ أُغْوِيَتْ فَحَصَلَتْ فِي التَّعَدِّي. | 14 And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression. |
|
| 15 وَلكِنَّهَا سَتَخْلُصُ بِوِلاَدَةِ الأَوْلاَدِ، إِنْ ثَبَتْنَ فِي الإِيمَانِ وَالْمَحَبَّةِ وَالْقَدَاسَةِ مَعَ التَّعَقُّلِ. | 15 Notwithstanding she shall be saved in childbearing, if they continue in faith and charity and holiness with sobriety. |
