1 Corinthians 16

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

1 وَأَمَّا مِنْ جِهَةِ ٱلْجَمْعِ لِأَجْلِ ٱلْقِدِّيسِينَ، فَكَمَا أَوْصَيْتُ كَنَائِسَ غَلَاطِيَّةَ هَكَذَا ٱفْعَلُوا أَنْتُمْ أَيْضًا.

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 فِي كُلِّ أَوَّلِ أُسْبُوعٍ، لِيَضَعْ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْكُمْ عِنْدَهُ خَازِنًا مَا تَيَسَّرَ، حَتَّى إِذَا جِئْتُ لَا يَكُونُ جَمْعٌ حِينَئِذٍ.

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

3 وَمَتَى حَضَرْتُ، فَٱلَّذِينَ تَسْتَحْسِنُونَهُمْ أُرْسِلُهُمْ بِرَسَائِلَ لِيَحْمِلُوا إِحْسَانَكُمْ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ.

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

4 وَإِنْ كَانَ يَسْتَحِقُّ أَنْ أَذْهَبَ أَنَا أَيْضًا، فَسَيَذْهَبُونَ مَعِي.

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

5 وَسَأَجِيءُ إِلَيْكُمْ مَتَى ٱجْتَزْتُ بِمَكِدُونِيَّةَ، لِأَنِّي أَجْتَازُ بِمَكِدُونِيَّةَ.

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 أَمْكُثُ عِنْدَكُمْ أَوْ أُشَتِّي أَيْضًا لِكَيْ تُشَيِّعُونِي إِلَى حَيْثُمَا أَذْهَبُ.

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 لِأَنِّي لَسْتُ أُرِيدُ ٱلْآنَ أَنْ أَرَاكُمْ فِي ٱلْعُبُورِ، لِأَنِّي أَرْجُو أَنْ أَمْكُثَ عِنْدَكُمْ زَمَانًا إِنْ أَذِنَ ٱلرَّبُّ.

8 But I will stay in Ephesus until Pentecost,

8 وَلَكِنَّنِي أَمْكُثُ فِي أَفَسُسَ إِلَى يَوْمِ ٱلْخَمْسِينَ،

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

9 لِأَنَّهُ قَدِ ٱنْفَتَحَ لِي بَابٌ عَظِيمٌ فَعَّالٌ، وَيُوجَدُ مُعَانِدُونَ 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 ثُمَّ إِنْ أَتَى تِيمُوثَاوُسُ، فَٱنْظُرُوا أَنْ يَكُونَ عِنْدَكُمْ بِلَا خَوْفٍ. لِأَنَّهُ يَعْمَلُ عَمَلَ ٱلرَّبِّ كَمَا أَنَا أَيْضًا.

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 فَلَا يَحْتَقِرْهُ أَحَدٌ، بَلْ شَيِّعُوهُ بِسَلَامٍ لِيَأْتِيَ إِلَيَّ، لِأَنِّي أَنْتَظِرُهُ مَعَ ٱلْإِخْوَةِ.

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 وَأَمَّا مِنْ جِهَةِ أَبُلُّوسَ ٱلْأَخِ، فَطَلَبْتُ إِلَيْهِ كَثِيرًا أَنْ يَأْتِيَ إِلَيْكُمْ مَعَ ٱلْإِخْوَةِ، وَلَمْ تَكُنْ لَهُ إِرَادَةٌ ٱلْبَتَّةَ أَنْ يَأْتِيَ ٱلْآنَ. وَلَكِنَّهُ سَيَأْتِي مَتَى تَوَفَّقَ ٱلْوَقْتُ.

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

13 اِسْهَرُوا. ٱثْبُتُوا فِي ٱلْإِيمَانِ. كُونُوا رِجَالًا. تَقَوَّوْا.

14 Do everything in love.

14 لِتَصِرْ كُلُّ أُمُورِكُمْ فِي مَحَبَّةٍ.

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 وَأَطْلُبُ إِلَيْكُمْ أَيُّهَا ٱلْإِخْوَةُ: أَنْتُمْ تَعْرِفُونَ بَيْتَ ٱسْتِفَانَاسَ أَنَّهُمْ بَاكُورَةُ أَخَائِيَةَ، وَقَدْ رَتَّبُوا أَنْفُسَهُمْ لِخِدْمَةِ ٱلْقِدِّيسِينَ،

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

16 كَيْ تَخْضَعُوا أَنْتُمْ أَيْضًا لِمِثْلِ هَؤُلَاءِ، وَكُلِّ مَنْ يَعْمَلُ مَعَهُمْ وَيَتْعَبُ.

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

17 ثُمَّ إِنِّي أَفْرَحُ بِمَجِيءِ ٱسْتِفَانَاسَ وَفُرْتُونَاتُوسَ وَأَخَائِيكُوسَ، لِأَنَّ نُقْصَانَكُمْ، هَؤُلَاءِ قَدْ جَبَرُوهُ،

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

18 إِذْ أَرَاحُوا رُوحِي وَرُوحَكُمْ. فَٱعْرِفُوا مِثْلَ هَؤُلَاءِ.

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 تُسَلِّمُ عَلَيْكُمْ كَنَائِسُ أَسِيَّا. يُسَلِّمُ عَلَيْكُمْ فِي ٱلرَّبِّ كَثِيرًا أَكِيلَا وَبِرِيسْكِلَّا مَعَ ٱلْكَنِيسَةِ ٱلَّتِي فِي بَيْتِهِمَا.

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

20 يُسَلِّمُ عَلَيْكُمُ ٱلْإِخْوَةُ أَجْمَعُونَ. سَلِّمُوا بَعْضُكُمْ عَلَى بَعْضٍ بِقُبْلَةٍ مُقَدَّسَةٍ.

21 This greeting is in my own hand—Paul.

21 اَلسَّلَامُ بِيَدِي أَنَا بُولُسَ.

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

22 إِنْ كَانَ أَحَدٌ لَا يُحِبُّ ٱلرَّبَّ يَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحَ فَلْيَكُنْ أَنَاثِيمَا! مَارَانْ أَثَا.

23 The grace of the Lord Jesus be with you.

23 نِعْمَةُ ٱلرَّبِّ يَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ مَعَكُمْ.

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

24 مَحَبَّتِي مَعَ جَمِيعِكُمْ فِي ٱلْمَسِيحِ يَسُوعَ. آمِينَ.
