1 Corinthians 3

1 Brothers, I could not address you as spiritual, but as worldly—as infants in Christ.

1 وَأَنَا أَيُّهَا ٱلْإِخْوَةُ لَمْ أَسْتَطِعْ أَنْ أُكَلِّمَكُمْ كَرُوحِيِّينَ، بَلْ كَجَسَدِيِّينَ كَأَطْفَالٍ فِي ٱلْمَسِيحِ،

2 I gave you milk, not solid food, for you were not yet ready for solid food. In fact, you are still not ready,

2 سَقَيْتُكُمْ لَبَنًا لَا طَعَامًا، لِأَنَّكُمْ لَمْ تَكُونُوا بَعْدُ تَسْتَطِيعُونَ، بَلِ ٱلْآنَ أَيْضًا لَا تَسْتَطِيعُونَ،

3 for you are still worldly. For since there is jealousy and dissension among you, are you not worldly? Are you not walking in the way of man?

3 لِأَنَّكُمْ بَعْدُ جَسَدِيُّونَ. فَإِنَّهُ إِذْ فِيكُمْ حَسَدٌ وَخِصَامٌ وَٱنْشِقَاقٌ، أَلَسْتُمْ جَسَدِيِّينَ وَتَسْلُكُونَ بِحَسَبِ ٱلْبَشَرِ؟

4 For when one of you says, “I follow Paul,” and another, “I follow Apollos,” are you not mere men?

4 لِأَنَّهُ مَتَى قَالَ وَاحِدٌ: «أَنَا لِبُولُسَ» وَآخَرُ: «أَنَا لِأَبُلُّوسَ» أَفَلَسْتُمْ جَسَدِيِّينَ؟

5 What then is Apollos? And what is Paul? They are servants through whom you believed, as the Lord has assigned to each his role.

5 فَمَنْ هُوَ بُولُسُ؟ وَمَنْ هُوَ أَبُلُّوسُ؟ بَلْ خَادِمَانِ آمَنْتُمْ بِوَاسِطَتِهِمَا، وَكَمَا أَعْطَى ٱلرَّبُّ لِكُلِّ وَاحِدٍ:

6 I planted the seed and Apollos watered it, but God made it grow.

6 أَنَا غَرَسْتُ وَأَبُلُّوسُ سَقَى، لَكِنَّ ٱللهَ كَانَ يُنْمِي.

7 So neither he who plants nor he who waters is anything, but only God, who makes things grow.

7 إِذًا لَيْسَ ٱلْغَارِسُ شَيْئًا وَلَا ٱلسَّاقِي، بَلِ ٱللهُ ٱلَّذِي يُنْمِي.

8 He who plants and he who waters are one in purpose, and each will be rewarded according to his own labor.

8 وَٱلْغَارِسُ وَٱلسَّاقِي هُمَا وَاحِدٌ، وَلَكِنَّ كُلَّ وَاحِدٍ سَيَأْخُذُ أُجْرَتَهُ بِحَسَبِ تَعَبِهِ.

9 For we are God’s fellow workers; you are God’s field, God’s building.

9 فَإِنَّنَا نَحْنُ عَامِلَانِ مَعَ ٱللهِ، وَأَنْتُمْ فَلَاحَةُ ٱللهِ، بِنَاءُ ٱللهِ.

10 By the grace God has given me, I laid a foundation as an expert builder, and someone else is building on it. But each one must be careful how he builds.

10 حَسَبَ نِعْمَةِ ٱللهِ ٱلْمُعْطَاةِ لِي كَبَنَّاءٍ حَكِيمٍ قَدْ وَضَعْتُ أَسَاسًا، وَآخَرُ يَبْنِي عَلَيْهِ. وَلَكِنْ فَلْيَنْظُرْ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ كَيْفَ يَبْنِي عَلَيْهِ.

11 For no one can lay a foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ.

11 فَإِنَّهُ لَا يَسْتَطِيعُ أَحَدٌ أَنْ يَضَعَ أَسَاسًا آخَرَ غَيْرَ ٱلَّذِي وُضِعَ، ٱلَّذِي هُوَ يَسُوعُ ٱلْمَسِيحُ.

12 If anyone builds on this foundation using gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, or straw,

12 وَلَكِنْ إِنْ كَانَ أَحَدُ يَبْنِي عَلَى هَذَا ٱلْأَسَاسِ: ذَهَبًا، فِضَّةً، حِجَارَةً كَرِيمَةً، خَشَبًا، عُشْبًا، قَشًّا،

13 his workmanship will be evident, because the Day will bring it to light. It will be revealed with fire, and the fire will prove the quality of each man’s work.

13 فَعَمَلُ كُلِّ وَاحِدٍ سَيَصِيرُ ظَاهِرًا لِأَنَّ ٱلْيَوْمَ سَيُبَيِّنُهُ. لِأَنَّهُ بِنَارٍ يُسْتَعْلَنُ، وَسَتَمْتَحِنُ ٱلنَّارُ عَمَلَ كُلِّ وَاحِدٍ مَا هُوَ.

14 If what he has built survives, he will receive a reward.

14 إِنْ بَقِيَ عَمَلُ أَحَدٍ قَدْ بَنَاهُ عَلَيْهِ فَسَيَأْخُذُ أُجْرَةً.

15 If it is burned up, he will suffer loss. He himself will be saved, but only as if through the flames.

15 إِنِ ٱحْتَرَقَ عَمَلُ أَحَدٍ فَسَيَخْسَرُ، وَأَمَّا هُوَ فَسَيَخْلُصُ، وَلَكِنْ كَمَا بِنَارٍ.

16 Do you not know that you yourselves are God’s temple, and that God’s Spirit dwells in you?

16 أَمَا تَعْلَمُونَ أَنَّكُمْ هَيْكَلُ ٱللهِ، وَرُوحُ ٱللهِ يَسْكُنُ فِيكُمْ؟

17 If anyone destroys God’s temple, God will destroy him; for God’s temple is holy, and you are that temple.

17 إِنْ كَانَ أَحَدٌ يُفْسِدُ هَيْكَلَ ٱللهِ فَسَيُفْسِدُهُ ٱللهُ، لِأَنَّ هَيْكَلَ ٱللهِ مُقَدَّسٌ ٱلَّذِي أَنْتُمْ هُوَ.

18 Let no one deceive himself. If any of you thinks he is wise in this age, he should become a fool, so that he may become wise.

18 لَا يَخْدَعَنَّ أَحَدٌ نَفْسَهُ. إِنْ كَانَ أَحَدٌ يَظُنُّ أَنَّهُ حَكِيمٌ بَيْنَكُمْ فِي هَذَا ٱلدَّهْرِ، فَلْيَصِرْ جَاهِلًا لِكَيْ يَصِيرَ حَكِيمًا!

19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness in God’s sight. As it is written: “He catches the wise in their craftiness.”

19 لِأَنَّ حِكْمَةَ هَذَا ٱلْعَالَمِ هِيَ جَهَالَةٌ عِنْدَ ٱللهِ، لِأَنَّهُ مَكْتُوبٌ: «ٱلْآخِذُ ٱلْحُكَمَاءَ بِمَكْرِهِمْ».

20 And again, “The Lord knows that the thoughts of the wise are futile.”

20 وَأَيْضًا: «ٱلرَّبُّ يَعْلَمُ أَفْكَارَ ٱلْحُكَمَاءِ أَنَّهَا بَاطِلَةٌ».

21 Therefore, stop boasting in men. All things are yours,

21 إِذًا لَا يَفْتَخِرَنَّ أَحَدٌ بِٱلنَّاسِ! فَإِنَّ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ لَكُمْ:

22 whether Paul or Apollos or Cephas or the world or life or death or the present or the future. All of them belong to you,

22 أَبُولُسُ، أَمْ أَبُلُّوسُ، أَمْ صَفَا، أَمِ ٱلْعَالَمُ، أَمِ ٱلْحَيَاةُ، أَمِ ٱلْمَوْتُ، أَمِ ٱلْأَشْيَاءُ ٱلْحَاضِرَةُ، أَمِ ٱلْمُسْتَقْبِلَةُ. كُلُّ شَيْءٍ لَكُمْ.

23 and you belong to Christ, and Christ belongs to God.

23 وَأَمَّا أَنْتُمْ فَلِلْمَسِيحِ، وَٱلْمَسِيحُ لِلهِ.
