| 1 أَيُّهَا الأَوْلاَدُ، أَطِيعُوا وَالِدِيكُمْ فِي الرَّبِّ لأَنَّ هذَا حَقٌّ. | 1 Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right. |
|
| 2 «أَكْرِمْ أَبَاكَ وَأُمَّكَ»، الَّتِي هِيَ أَوَّلُ وَصِيَّةٍ بِوَعْدٍ، | 2 Honour thy father and mother; which is the first commandment with promise; |
|
| 3 «لِكَيْ يَكُونَ لَكُمْ خَيْرٌ، وَتَكُونُوا طِوَالَ الأَعْمَارِ عَلَى الأَرْضِ». | 3 That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth. |
|
| 4 وَأَنْتُمْ أَيُّهَا الآبَاءُ، لاَ تُغِيظُوا أَوْلاَدَكُمْ، بَلْ رَبُّوهُمْ بِتَأْدِيبِ الرَّبِّ وَإِنْذَارِهِ. | 4 And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. |
|
| 5 أَيُّهَا الْعَبِيدُ، أَطِيعُوا سَادَتَكُمْ حَسَبَ الْجَسَدِ بِخَوْفٍ وَرِعْدَةٍ، فِي بَسَاطَةِ قُلُوبِكُمْ كَمَا لِلْمَسِيحِ | 5 Servants, be obedient to them that are your masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in singleness of your heart, as unto Christ; |
|
| 6 لاَ بِخِدْمَةِ الْعَيْنِ كَمَنْ يُرْضِي النَّاسَ، بَلْ كَعَبِيدِ الْمَسِيحِ، عَامِلِينَ مَشِيئَةَ اللهِ مِنَ الْقَلْبِ، | 6 Not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but as the servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart; |
|
| 7 خَادِمِينَ بِنِيَّةٍ صَالِحَةٍ كَمَا لِلرَّبِّ، لَيْسَ لِلنَّاسِ. | 7 With good will doing service, as to the Lord, and not to men: |
|
| 8 عَالِمِينَ أَنْ مَهْمَا عَمِلَ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مِنَ الْخَيْرِ فَذلِكَ يَنَالُهُ مِنَ الرَّبِّ، عَبْدًا كَانَ أَمْ حُرًّا. | 8 Knowing that whatsoever good thing any man doeth, the same shall he receive of the Lord, whether he be bond or free. |
|
| 9 وَأَنْتُمْ أَيُّهَا السَّادَةُ، افْعَلُوا لَهُمْ هذِهِ الأُمُورَ، تَارِكِينَ التَّهْدِيدَ، عَالِمِينَ أَنَّ سَيِّدَكُمْ أَنْتُمْ أَيْضًا فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ، وَلَيْسَ عِنْدَهُ مُحَابَاةٌ. | 9 And, ye masters, do the same things unto them, forbearing threatening: knowing that your Master also is in heaven; neither is there respect of persons with him. |
|
| 10 أَخِيرًا يَا إِخْوَتِي تَقَوُّوْا فِي الرَّبِّ وَفِي شِدَّةِ قُوَّتِهِ. | 10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. |
|
| 11 الْبَسُوا سِلاَحَ اللهِ الْكَامِلَ لِكَيْ تَقْدِرُوا أَنْ تَثْبُتُوا ضِدَّ مَكَايِدِ إِبْلِيسَ. | 11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. |
|
| 12 فَإِنَّ مُصَارَعَتَنَا لَيْسَتْ مَعَ دَمٍ وَلَحْمٍ، بَلْ مَعَ الرُّؤَسَاءِ، مَعَ السَّلاَطِينِ، مَعَ وُلاَةِ الْعَالَمِ عَلَى ظُلْمَةِ هذَا الدَّهْرِ، مَعَ أَجْنَادِ الشَّرِّ الرُّوحِيَّةِ فِي السَّمَاوِيَّاتِ. | 12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. |
|
| 13 مِنْ أَجْلِ ذلِكَ احْمِلُوا سِلاَحَ اللهِ الْكَامِلَ لِكَيْ تَقْدِرُوا أَنْ تُقَاوِمُوا فِي الْيَوْمِ الشِّرِّيرِ، وَبَعْدَ أَنْ تُتَمِّمُوا كُلَّ شَيْءٍ أَنْ تَثْبُتُوا. | 13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. |
|
| 14 فَاثْبُتُوا مُمَنْطِقِينَ أَحْقَاءَكُمْ بِالْحَقِّ، وَلاَبِسِينَ دِرْعَ الْبِرِّ، | 14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; |
|
15 وَحَاذِينَ أَرْجُلَكُمْ بِاسْتِعْدَادِ إِنْجِيلِ السَّلاَمِ.  | 15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; |
|
| 16 حَامِلِينَ فَوْقَ الْكُلِّ تُرْسَ الإِيمَانِ، الَّذِي بِهِ تَقْدِرُونَ أَنْ تُطْفِئُوا جَمِيعَ سِهَامِ الشِّرِّيرِ الْمُلْتَهِبَةِ. | 16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. |
|
| 17 وَخُذُوا خُوذَةَ الْخَلاَصِ، وَسَيْفَ الرُّوحِ الَّذِي هُوَ كَلِمَةُ اللهِ. | 17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: |
|
| 18 مُصَلِّينَ بِكُلِّ صَلاَةٍ وَطِلْبَةٍ كُلَّ وَقْتٍ فِي الرُّوحِ، وَسَاهِرِينَ لِهذَا بِعَيْنِهِ بِكُلِّ مُواظَبَةٍ وَطِلْبَةٍ، لأَجْلِ جَمِيعِ الْقِدِّيسِينَ، | 18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints; |
|
| 19 وَلأَجْلِي، لِكَيْ يُعْطَى لِي كَلاَمٌ عِنْدَ افْتِتَاحِ فَمِي، لأُعْلِمَ جِهَارًا بِسِرِّ الإِنْجِيلِ، | 19 And for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel, |
|
| 20 الَّذِي لأَجْلِهِ أَنَا سَفِيرٌ فِي سَلاَسِلَ، لِكَيْ أُجَاهِرَ فِيهِ كَمَا يَجِبُ أَنْ أَتَكَلَّمَ. | 20 For which I am an ambassador in bonds: that therein I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak. |
|
| 21 وَلكِنْ لِكَيْ تَعْلَمُوا أَنْتُمْ أَيْضًا أَحْوَالِي، مَاذَا أَفْعَلُ، يُعَرِّفُكُمْ بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ تِيخِيكُسُ الأَخُ الْحَبِيبُ وَالْخَادِمُ الأَمِينُ فِي الرَّبِّ، | 21 But that ye also may know my affairs, and how I do, Tychicus, a beloved brother and faithful minister in the Lord, shall make known to you all things: |
|
| 22 الَّذِي أَرْسَلْتُهُ إِلَيْكُمْ لِهذَا بِعَيْنِهِ، لِكَيْ تَعْلَمُوا أَحْوَالَنَا، وَلِكَيْ يُعَزِّيَ قُلُوبَكُمْ. | 22 Whom I have sent unto you for the same purpose, that ye might know our affairs, and that he might comfort your hearts. |
|
| 23 سَلاَمٌ عَلَى الإِخْوَةِ، وَمَحَبَّةٌ بِإِيمَانٍ مِنَ اللهِ الآبِ وَالرَّبِّ يَسُوعَ الْمَسِيحِ. | 23 Peace be to the brethren, and love with faith, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. |
|
| 24 اَلنِّعْمَةُ مَعَ جَمِيعِ الَّذِينَ يُحِبُّونَ رَبَّنَا يَسُوعَ الْمَسِيحَ فِي عَدَمِ فَسَادٍ. آمِينَ. | 24 Grace be with all them that love our Lord Jesus Christ in sincerity. Amen. |
