1 Thessalonians 4

1 Finally, brothers, we ask and encourage you in the Lord Jesus to live in a way that is pleasing to God, just as you have received from us. This is how you already live, so you should do so all the more.

1 فَمِنْ ثَمَّ أَيُّهَا ٱلْإِخْوَةُ نَسْأَلُكُمْ وَنَطْلُبُ إِلَيْكُمْ فِي ٱلرَّبِّ يَسُوعَ، أَنَّكُمْ كَمَا تَسَلَّمْتُمْ مِنَّا كَيْفَ يَجِبُ أَنْ تَسْلُكُوا وَتُرْضُوا ٱللهَ، تَزْدَادُونَ أَكْثَرَ.

2 For you know the instructions we gave you by the authority of the Lord Jesus.

2 لِأَنَّكُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ أَيَّةَ وَصَايَا أَعْطَيْنَاكُمْ بِٱلرَّبِّ يَسُوعَ.

3 For it is God’s will that you should be holy: You must abstain from sexual immorality;

3 لِأَنَّ هَذِهِ هِيَ إِرَادَةُ ٱللهِ: قَدَاسَتُكُمْ. أَنْ تَمْتَنِعُوا عَنِ ٱلزِّنَا،

4 each of you must know how to control his own body in holiness and honor,

4 أَنْ يَعْرِفَ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْكُمْ أَنْ يَقْتَنِيَ إِنَاءَهُ بِقَدَاسَةٍ وَكَرَامَةٍ،

5 not in lustful passion like the Gentiles who do not know God;

5 لَا فِي هَوَى شَهْوَةٍ كَٱلْأُمَمِ ٱلَّذِينَ لَا يَعْرِفُونَ ٱللهَ،

6 and no one should ever violate or exploit his brother in this regard, because the Lord will avenge all such acts, as we have already told you and solemnly warned you.

6 أَنْ لَا يَتَطَاوَلَ أَحَدٌ وَيَطْمَعَ عَلَى أَخِيهِ فِي هَذَا ٱلْأَمْرِ، لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ مُنْتَقِمٌ لِهَذِهِ كُلِّهَا كَمَا قُلْنَا لَكُمْ قَبْلًا وَشَهِدْنَا.

7 For God has not called us to impurity, but to holiness.

7 لِأَنَّ ٱللهَ لَمْ يَدْعُنَا لِلنَّجَاسَةِ بَلْ فِي ٱلْقَدَاسَةِ.

8 Anyone, then, who rejects this command does not reject man but God, the very One who gives you His Holy Spirit.

8 إِذًا مَنْ يُرْذِلُ لَا يُرْذِلُ إِنْسَانًا، بَلِ ٱللهَ ٱلَّذِي أَعْطَانَا أَيْضًا رُوحَهُ ٱلْقُدُّوسَ.

9 Now about brotherly love, you do not need anyone to write to you, because you yourselves have been taught by God to love one another.

9 وَأَمَّا ٱلْمَحَبَّةُ ٱلْأَخَوِيَّةُ فَلَا حَاجَةَ لَكُمْ أَنْ أَكْتُبَ إِلَيْكُمْ عَنْهَا، لِأَنَّكُمْ أَنْفُسَكُمْ مُتَعَلِّمُونَ مِنَ ٱللهِ أَنْ يُحِبَّ بَعْضُكُمْ بَعْضًا.

10 And you are indeed showing this love to all the brothers throughout Macedonia. But we urge you, brothers, to excel more and more

10 فَإِنَّكُمْ تَفْعَلُونَ ذَلِكَ أَيْضًا لِجَمِيعِ ٱلْإِخْوَةِ ٱلَّذِينَ فِي مَكِدُونِيَّةَ كُلِّهَا. وَإِنَّمَا أَطْلُبُ إِلَيْكُمْ أَيُّهَا ٱلْإِخْوَةُ أَنْ تَزْدَادُوا أَكْثَرَ،

11 and to aspire to live quietly, to attend to your own matters, and to work with your own hands, as we instructed you.

11 وَأَنْ تَحْرِصُوا عَلَى أَنْ تَكُونُوا هَادِئِينَ، وَتُمَارِسُوا أُمُورَكُمُ ٱلْخَاصَّةَ، وَتَشْتَغِلُوا بِأَيْدِيكُمْ أَنْتُمْ كَمَا أَوْصَيْنَاكُمْ،

12 Then you will behave properly toward outsiders, without being dependent on anyone.

12 لِكَيْ تَسْلُكُوا بِلِيَاقَةٍ عِنْدَ ٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ مِنْ خَارِجٍ، وَلَا تَكُونَ لَكُمْ حَاجَةٌ إِلَى أَحَدٍ.

13 Brothers, we do not want you to be uninformed about those who sleep in death, so that you will not grieve like the rest, who are without hope.

13 ثُمَّ لَا أُرِيدُ أَنْ تَجْهَلُوا أَيُّهَا ٱلْإِخْوَةُ مِنْ جِهَةِ ٱلرَّاقِدِينَ، لِكَيْ لَا تَحْزَنُوا كَٱلْبَاقِينَ ٱلَّذِينَ لَا رَجَاءَ لَهُمْ.

14 For since we believe that Jesus died and rose again, we also believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in Him.

14 لِأَنَّهُ إِنْ كُنَّا نُؤْمِنُ أَنَّ يَسُوعَ مَاتَ وَقَامَ، فَكَذَلِكَ ٱلرَّاقِدُونَ بِيَسُوعَ، سَيُحْضِرُهُمُ ٱللهُ أَيْضًا مَعَهُ.

15 By the word of the Lord, we declare to you that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord will by no means precede those who have fallen asleep.

15 فَإِنَّنَا نَقُولُ لَكُمْ هَذَا بِكَلِمَةِ ٱلرَّبِّ: إِنَّنَا نَحْنُ ٱلْأَحْيَاءَ ٱلْبَاقِينَ إِلَى مَجِيءِ ٱلرَّبِّ، لَا نَسْبِقُ ٱلرَّاقِدِينَ.

16 For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a loud command, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will be the first to rise.

16 لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ نَفْسَهُ بِهُتَافٍ، بِصَوْتِ رَئِيسِ مَلَائِكَةٍ وَبُوقِ ٱللهِ، سَوْفَ يَنْزِلُ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَاءِ وَٱلْأَمْوَاتُ فِي ٱلْمَسِيحِ سَيَقُومُونَ أَوَّلًا.

17 After that, we who are alive and remain will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will always be with the Lord.

17 ثُمَّ نَحْنُ ٱلْأَحْيَاءَ ٱلْبَاقِينَ سَنُخْطَفُ جَمِيعًا مَعَهُمْ فِي ٱلسُّحُبِ لِمُلَاقَاةِ ٱلرَّبِّ فِي ٱلْهَوَاءِ، وَهَكَذَا نَكُونُ كُلَّ حِينٍ مَعَ ٱلرَّبِّ.

18 Therefore encourage one another with these words.

18 لِذَلِكَ عَزُّوا بَعْضُكُمْ بَعْضًا بِهَذَا ٱلْكَلَامِ.
