لأعرف المسيح | |
1 أَخِيرًا يَا إِخْوَتِي افْرَحُوا فِي الرَّبِّ. كِتَابَةُ هذِهِ الأُمُورِ إِلَيْكُمْ لَيْسَتْ عَلَيَّ ثَقِيلَةً، وَأَمَّا لَكُمْ فَهِيَ مُؤَمِّنَةٌ.  | 1 Finally, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things to you, to me indeed is not grievous, but for you it is safe. |
|
| 2 اُنْظُرُوا الْكِلاَبَ. انْظُرُوا فَعَلَةَ الشَّرِّ. انْظُرُوا الْقَطْعَ. | 2 Beware of dogs, beware of evil workers, beware of the concision. |
|
| 3 لأَنَّنَا نَحْنُ الْخِتَانَ، الَّذِينَ نَعْبُدُ اللهَ بِالرُّوحِ، وَنَفْتَخِرُ فِي الْمَسِيحِ يَسُوعَ، وَلاَ نَتَّكِلُ عَلَى الْجَسَدِ. | 3 For we are the circumcision, which worship God in the spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh. |
|
| 4 مَعَ أَنَّ لِي أَنْ أَتَّكِلَ عَلَى الْجَسَدِ أَيْضًا. إِنْ ظَنَّ وَاحِدٌ آخَرُ أَنْ يَتَّكِلَ عَلَى الْجَسَدِ فَأَنَا بِالأَوْلَى. | 4 Though I might also have confidence in the flesh. If any other man thinketh that he hath whereof he might trust in the flesh, I more: |
|
| 5 مِنْ جِهَةِ الْخِتَانِ مَخْتُونٌ فِي الْيَوْمِ الثَّامِنِ، مِنْ جِنْسِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، مِنْ سِبْطِ بِنْيَامِينَ، عِبْرَانِيٌّ مِنَ الْعِبْرَانِيِّينَ. مِنْ جِهَةِ النَّامُوسِ فَرِّيسِيٌّ. | 5 Circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, an Hebrew of the Hebrews; as touching the law, a Pharisee; |
|
| 6 مِنْ جِهَةِ الْغَيْرَةِ مُضْطَهِدُ الْكَنِيسَةِ. مِنْ جِهَةِ الْبِرِّ الَّذِي فِي النَّامُوسِ بِلاَ لَوْمٍ. | 6 Concerning zeal, persecuting the church; touching the righteousness which is in the law, blameless. |
|
| 7 لكِنْ مَا كَانَ لِي رِبْحًا، فَهذَا قَدْ حَسِبْتُهُ مِنْ أَجْلِ الْمَسِيحِ خَسَارَةً. | 7 But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ. |
|
| 8 بَلْ إِنِّي أَحْسِبُ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ أَيْضًا خَسَارَةً مِنْ أَجْلِ فَضْلِ مَعْرِفَةِ الْمَسِيحِ يَسُوعَ رَبِّي، الَّذِي مِنْ أَجْلِهِ خَسِرْتُ كُلَّ الأَشْيَاءِ، وَأَنَا أَحْسِبُهَا نُفَايَةً لِكَيْ أَرْبَحَ الْمَسِيحَ، | 8 Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ, |
|
| 9 وَأُوجَدَ فِيهِ، وَلَيْسَ لِي بِرِّي الَّذِي مِنَ النَّامُوسِ، بَلِ الَّذِي بِإِيمَانِ الْمَسِيحِ، الْبِرُّ الَّذِي مِنَ اللهِ بِالإِيمَانِ. | 9 And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith: |
|
| 10 لأَعْرِفَهُ، وَقُوَّةَ قِيَامَتِهِ، وَشَرِكَةَ آلاَمِهِ، مُتَشَبِّهًا بِمَوْتِهِ، | 10 That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death; |
|
| 11 لَعَلِّي أَبْلُغُ إِلَى قِيَامَةِ الأَمْوَاتِ. | 11 If by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead. |
|
السعي نحو الهدف | |
| 12 لَيْسَ أَنِّي قَدْ نِلْتُ أَوْ صِرْتُ كَامِلاً، وَلكِنِّي أَسْعَى لَعَلِّي أُدْرِكُ الَّذِي لأَجْلِهِ أَدْرَكَنِي أَيْضًا الْمَسِيحُ يَسُوعُ. | 12 Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus. |
|
| 13 أَيُّهَا الإِخْوَةُ، أَنَا لَسْتُ أَحْسِبُ نَفْسِي أَنِّي قَدْ أَدْرَكْتُ. وَلكِنِّي أَفْعَلُ شَيْئًا وَاحِدًا: إِذْ أَنَا أَنْسَى مَا هُوَ وَرَاءُ وَأَمْتَدُّ إِلَى مَا هُوَ قُدَّامُ، | 13 Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, |
|
| 14 أَسْعَى نَحْوَ الْغَرَضِ لأَجْلِ جَعَالَةِ دَعْوَةِ اللهِ الْعُلْيَا فِي الْمَسِيحِ يَسُوعَ. | 14 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. |
|
| 15 فَلْيَفْتَكِرْ هذَا جَمِيعُ الْكَامِلِينَ مِنَّا، وَإِنِ افْتَكَرْتُمْ شَيْئًا بِخِلاَفِهِ فَاللهُ سَيُعْلِنُ لَكُمْ هذَا أَيْضًا. | 15 Let us therefore, as many as be perfect, be thus minded: and if in any thing ye be otherwise minded, God shall reveal even this unto you. |
|
| 16 وَأَمَّا مَا قَدْ أَدْرَكْنَاهُ، فَلْنَسْلُكْ بِحَسَبِ ذلِكَ الْقَانُونِ عَيْنِهِ، وَنَفْتَكِرْ ذلِكَ عَيْنَهُ. | 16 Nevertheless, whereto we have already attained, let us walk by the same rule, let us mind the same thing. |
|
| 17 كُونُوا مُتَمَثِّلِينَ بِي مَعًا أَيُّهَا الإِخْوَةُ، وَلاَحِظُوا الَّذِينَ يَسِيرُونَ هكَذَا كَمَا نَحْنُ عِنْدَكُمْ قُدْوَةٌ. | 17 Brethren, be followers together of me, and mark them which walk so as ye have us for an ensample. |
|
| 18 لأَنَّ كَثِيرِينَ يَسِيرُونَ مِمَّنْ كُنْتُ أَذْكُرُهُمْ لَكُمْ مِرَارًا، وَالآنَ أَذْكُرُهُمْ أَيْضًا بَاكِيًا، وَهُمْ أَعْدَاءُ صَلِيبِ الْمَسِيحِ، | 18 (For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ: |
|
| 19 الَّذِينَ نِهَايَتُهُمُ الْهَلاَكُ، الَّذِينَ إِلهُهُمْ بَطْنُهُمْ وَمَجْدُهُمْ فِي خِزْيِهِمِ، الَّذِينَ يَفْتَكِرُونَ فِي الأَرْضِيَّاتِ. | 19 Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.) |
|
| 20 فَإِنَّ سِيرَتَنَا نَحْنُ هِيَ فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ، الَّتِي مِنْهَا أَيْضًا نَنْتَظِرُ مُخَلِّصًا هُوَ الرَّبُّ يَسُوعُ الْمَسِيحُ، | 20 For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ: |
|
| 21 الَّذِي سَيُغَيِّرُ شَكْلَ جَسَدِ تَوَاضُعِنَا لِيَكُونَ عَلَى صُورَةِ جَسَدِ مَجْدِهِ، بِحَسَبِ عَمَلِ اسْتِطَاعَتِهِ أَنْ يُخْضِعَ لِنَفْسِهِ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ. | 21 Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself. |
