1 Corinthians 16

1 Now about the collection for the saints, you are to do as I directed the churches of Galatia:

1 وَأَمَّا بِخُصُوصِ جَمْعِ التَّبَرُّعَاتِ لِلْقِدِّيسِينَ، فَكَمَا أَوْصَيْتُ الْكَنَائِسَ فِي مُقَاطَعَةِ غَلاطِيَّةَ، كَذلِكَ اعْمَلُوا أَنْتُمْ أَيْضاً.

2 On the first day of every week, each of you should set aside a portion of his income, saving it up, so that when I come no collections will be needed.

2 فَفِي أَوَّلِ يَوْمٍ مِنَ الأُسْبُوعِ، لِيَضَعْ كُلٌّ مِنْكُمْ جَانِباً مَّا يَتَيَسَّرُ لَهُ مِمَّا يَكْسِبُهُ؛ وَلْيَحْتَفِظْ بِهِ، حَتَّى لَا يَحْصُلَ الْجَمْعُ عِنْدَمَا أَذْهَبُ إِلَيْكُمْ.

3 Then, on my arrival, I will send letters with those you recommend to carry your gift to Jerusalem.

3 وَعِنْدَ وُصُولِي، أَبْعَثُ مَنْ تَسْتَحْسِنُونَ لِيَحْمِلُوا مَا تَكَرَّمْتُمْ بِهِ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ، بَعْدَ أَنْ أُزَوِّدَهُمْ بِرَسَائِلَ.

4 And if it is advisable for me to go also, they can travel with me.

4 وَإِنْ كَانَ فِي الأَمْرِ مَا يَدْعُونِي إِلَى مُرَافَقَتِهِمْ، فَيَذْهَبُونَ مَعِي.

5 After I go through Macedonia, however, I will come to you; for I will be going through Macedonia.

5 وَلَكِنِّي سَأَذْهَبُ إِلَيْكُمْ لَدَى اجْتِيَازِي فِي مُقَاطَعَةِ مَقِدُونِيَّةَ، لأَنِّي إِنَّمَا سَأَجْتَازُ فِيهَا،

6 Perhaps I will stay with you awhile, or even spend the winter, so that you can help me on my journey, wherever I go.

6 وَرُبَّمَا أُقَضِّي عِنْدَكُمْ مُدَّةً مِنَ الزَّمَنِ، أَوْ رُبَّمَا أُقَضِّي الشِّتَاءَ كُلَّهُ عِنْدَكُمْ ثُمَّ تُسَهِّلُونَ لِي سَبِيلَ السَّفَرِ إِلَى أَيَّةِ جِهَةٍ أَذْهَبُ إِلَيْهَا.

7 For I do not want to see you now only in passing; I hope to spend some time with you, if the Lord permits.

7 فَأَنَا لَا أُرِيدُ أَنْ أَزُورَكُمْ كَعَابِرِ سَبِيلٍ هَذِهِ الْمَرَّةَ، بَلْ أَرْجُو أَنْ تَطُولَ إِقَامَتِي عِنْدَكُمْ إِنْ أَذِنَ الرَّبُّ.

8 But I will stay in Ephesus until Pentecost,

8 عَلَى أَنِّي سَأَبْقَى فِي أَفَسُسَ حَتَّى الْيَوْمِ الْخَمْسِينَ (أَيْ عِيدِ الْحَصَادِ الْيَهُودِيِّ)

9 because a great door for effective work has opened to me, even though many oppose me.

9 لأَنَّ بَاباً كَبِيراً وَفَعَّالاً قَدِ انْفَتَحَ لِي، وَالْمُقَاوِمُونَ كَثِيرُونَ!

10 If Timothy comes, see to it that he has nothing to fear while he is with you, for he is doing the work of the Lord, just as I am.

10 وَإذَا وَصَلَ تِيمُوثَاوُسُ إِلَيْكُمْ، فَاهْتَمُّوا بِأَنْ يَكُونَ مُطْمَئِنّاً عِنْدَكُمْ، لأَنَّهُ يَقُومُ بِعَمَلِ الرَّبِّ مِثْلِي.

11 No one, then, should treat him with contempt. Send him on his way in peace so that he can return to me, for I am expecting him along with the brothers.

11 فَلا يَسْتَخِفّ بِهِ أَحَدٌ، بَلْ سَهِّلُوا لَهُ السَّبِيلَ لِيَعُودَ إِلَيَّ بِسَلامٍ، فَأَنَا أَنْتَظِرُ وُصُولَهُ، مَعَ الإِخْوَةِ.

12 Now about our brother Apollos: I strongly urged him to go to you with the brothers. He was not at all inclined to go now, but he will go when he has the opportunity.

12 أَمَّا الأَخُ أَبُلُّوسُ، فَكَثِيراً مَا طَلَبْتُ إِلَيْهِ أَنْ يُرَافِقَ الإِخْوَةَ فِي الذَّهَابِ إِلَيْكُمْ. وَلكِنْ، لَمْ تَكُنْ لَدَيْهِ رَغْبَةٌ قَطُّ فِي أَنْ يَذْهَبَ الآنَ. عَلَى أَنَّهُ سَيَذْهَبُ عِنْدَمَا تَتَوَفَّرُ لَهُ الْفُرْصَةُ الْمُنَاسِبَةُ.

13 Be on the alert. Stand firm in the faith. Be men of courage. Be strong.

13 كُونُوا مُتَيَقِّظِينَ حَذِرِينَ. اثْبُتُوا فِي الإِيمَانِ. كُونُوا رِجَالاً. كُونُوا أَقْوِيَاءَ.

14 Do everything in love.

14 وَكُلُّ مَا تَعْمَلُونَهُ، فَاعْمَلُوهُ فِي الْمَحَبَّةِ.

15 You know that Stephanas and his household were the first converts in Achaia, and they have devoted themselves to the service of the saints. Now I urge you, brothers,

15 عَلَى أَنِّي، أَيُّهَا الإِخْوَةُ، أَطْلُبُ إِلَيْكُمْ هَذَا الطَّلَبَ: أَنْتُمْ تَعْرِفُونَ عَائِلَةَ اسْتِفَانَاسَ، فَهُمْ بَاكُورَةُ أَخَائِيَةَ، وَقَدْ كَرَّسُوا أَنْفُسَهُمْ لِخِدْمَةِ الْقِدِّيسِينَ،

16 to submit to such as these, and to every fellow worker and laborer.

16 فَاخْضَعُوا لَهُمْ وَلأَمْثَالِهِمْ، وَلِكُلِّ مَنْ يَشْتَرِكُ مَعَهُمْ بِاجْتِهَادٍ فِي الْعَمَلِ.

17 I am glad that Stephanas, Fortunatus, and Achaicus have arrived, because they have supplied what was lacking from you.

17 سُرِرْتُ كَثِيراً بِمَجِيءِ اسْتِفَانَاسَ وَفُرْتُونَاتُوسَ وَأَخَائِيكُوسَ. فَقَدْ نَابُوا عَنْكُمْ فِي سَدِّ الاحْتِيَاجِ.

18 For they refreshed my spirit and yours as well. Show your appreciation, therefore, to such men.

18 إِذْ أَنْعَشُوا رُوحِي وَرُوحَكُمْ. فَقَدِّرُوا مِثْلَ هؤُلاءِ حَقَّ التَّقْدِيرِ!

19 The churches in the province of Asia send you greetings. Aquila and Prisca greet you warmly in the Lord, and so does the church that meets at their house.

19 الْكَنَائِسُ فِي مُقَاطَعَةِ أَسِيَّا تُسَلِّمُ عَلَيْكُمْ. وَيُسَلِّمُ عَلَيْكُمْ فِي الرَّبِّ كَثِيراً، أَكِيلا وَبِرِيسْكِلّا مَعَ الْكَنِيسَةِ الَّتِي فِي بَيْتِهِمَا.

20 All the brothers here send you greetings. Greet one another with a holy kiss.

20 جَمِيعُ الإِخْوَةِ يُسَلِّمُونَ عَلَيْكُمْ. سَلِّمُوا بَعْضُكُمْ عَلَى بَعْضٍ بِقُبْلَةٍ طَاهِرَةٍ.

21 This greeting is in my own hand—Paul.

21 وَإِلَيْكُمْ سَلامِي، أَنَا بُولُسَ، بِخَطِّ يَدِي.

22 If anyone does not love the Lord, let him be under a curse. Come, O Lord!

22 إِنْ كَانَ أَحَدٌ لَا يُحِبُّ الرَّبَّ فَلْيَكُنْ «أَنَاثِيمَا» (أَيْ مَلْعُوناً)! «مَارَانَاثَا» (أَيْ رَبَّنَا، تَعَالَ)!

23 The grace of the Lord Jesus be with you.

23 لِتَكُنْ مَعَكُمْ نِعْمَةُ الرَّبِّ يَسُوعَ الْمَسِيحِ!

24 My love be with all of you in Christ Jesus. Amen.

24 وَلَكُمْ جَمِيعاً مَحَبَّتِي فِي الْمَسِيحِ يَسُوعَ! آمِين.
