1 Timothy 4

1 Now the Spirit expressly states that in later times some will abandon the faith to follow deceitful spirits and the teachings of demons,

1 إِلَّا أَنَّ الرُّوحَ يُعْلِنُ صَرَاحَةً أَنَّ قَوْماً فِي الأَزْمِنَةِ الأَخِيرَةِ سَوْفَ يَرْتَدُّونَ عَنِ الإِيمَانِ، مُنْسَاقِينَ وَرَاءَ أَرْوَاحٍ مُضَلِّلَةٍ وَتَعَالِيمَ شَيْطَانِيَّةٍ،

2 influenced by the hypocrisy of liars, whose consciences are seared with a hot iron.

2 فِي مَوْجَةِ رِيَاءٍ يَنْشُرُهَا مُعَلِّمُونَ دَجَّالُونَ لَهُمْ ضَمَائِرُ كُوِيَتْ بِالنَّارِ.

3 They will prohibit marriage and require abstinence from certain foods that God has created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth.

3 يُحَرِّمُونَ الزَّوَاجَ، وَيَأْمُرُونَ بِالامْتِنَاعِ عَنْ أَطْعِمَةٍ خَلَقَهَا اللهُ لِيَتَنَاوَلَهَا الْمُؤْمِنُونَ وَعَارِفُو الْحَقِّ شَاكِرِينَ.

4 For every creation of God is good, and nothing that is received with thanksgiving should be rejected,

4 فَإِنَّ كُلَّ مَا خَلَقَهُ اللهُ جَيِّدٌ، وَلا شَيْءَ مِنْهُ يُرْفَضُ إِذَا تَنَاوَلَهُ الإِنْسَانُ شَاكِراً؛

5 because it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer.

5 لأَنَّهُ يَصِيرُ مُقَدَّساً بِكَلِمَةِ اللهِ وَالصَّلاةِ.

6 By pointing out these things to the brothers, you will be a good servant of Christ Jesus, nourished by the words of faith and sound instruction that you have followed.

6 إِنْ بَسَطْتَ هَذِهِ الأُمُورَ أَمَامَ الإِخْوَةِ، كُنْتَ خَادِماً صَالِحاً لِلْمَسِيحِ يَسُوعَ، مُتَغَذِّياً بِكَلامِ الإِيمَانِ وَالتَّعْلِيمِ الصَّالِحِ الَّذِي اتَّبَعْتَهُ تَمَاماً.

7 But reject irreverent, silly myths. Instead, train yourself for godliness.

7 أَمَّا أَسَاطِيرُ الْعَجَائِزِ الْمُبْتَذَلَةُ، فَتَجَنَّبْهَا. إِنَّمَا مَرِّنْ نَفْسَكَ فِي طَرِيقِ التَّقْوَى.

8 For physical exercise is of limited value, but godliness is valuable in every way, holding promise for the present life and for the one to come.

8 فَالرِّيَاضَةُ الْبَدَنِيَّةُ نَافِعَةٌ بَعْضَ الشَّيْءِ. أَمَّا التَّقْوَى فَنَافِعَةٌ لِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ، لأَنَّ فِيهَا وَعْداً بِالْحَيَاةِ الْحَاضِرَةِ وَالآتِيَةِ.

9 This is a trustworthy saying, worthy of full acceptance.

9 مَا أَصْدَقَ هَذَا الْقَوْلَ، وَمَا أَجْدَرَهُ بِالتَّصْدِيقِ!

10 To this end we labor and strive, because we have set our hope on the living God, who is the Savior of everyone, and especially of those who believe.

10 فَإِنَّنَا لأَجْلِ هَذَا نَعْمَلُ بِاجْتِهَادٍ وَنُقَاسِي التَّعْيِيرَ، لأَنَّنَا وَضَعْنَا رَجَاءَنَا فِي اللهِ الْحَيِّ، حَافِظِ جَمِيعِ النَّاسِ، وَبِالأَخَصِّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ.

11 Command and teach these things.

11 أَوْصِ بِهذِهِ الأُمُورِ وَعَلِّمْ!

12 Let no one despise your youth, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, in purity.

12 لَا يَسْتَخِفْ أَحَدٌ بِحَدَاثَةِ سِنِّكَ. وَإِنَّمَا كُنْ قُدْوَةً لِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ، فِي الْكَلامِ وَالسُّلُوكِ وَالْمَحَبَّةِ وَالإِيمَانِ وَالطَّهَارَةِ.

13 Until I come, devote yourself to the public reading of Scripture, to exhortation, and to teaching.

13 إِلَى حِينِ وُصُولِي، انْصَرِفْ إِلَى قِرَاءَةِ الْكِتَابِ، وَإِلَى الْوَعْظِ، وَإِلَى التَّعْلِيمِ.

14 Do not neglect the gift that is in you, which was given you through the prophecy spoken over you at the laying on of the hands of the elders.

14 لَا تُهْمِلِ الْمَوْهِبَةَ الْخَاصَّةَ الَّتِي فِيكَ، الَّتِي أُعْطِيَتْ لَكَ بِالتَّنَبُّوءِ وَوَضْعِ الشُّيُوخِ أَيْدِيَهُمْ عَلَيْكَ.

15 Be diligent in these matters and absorbed in them, so that your progress will be evident to all.

15 انْصَرِفْ إِلَى هذِهِ الأُمُورِ، وَانْشَغِلْ بِها كُلِّيًّا، لِيَكُونَ تَقَدُّمُكَ وَاضِحاً لِلْجَمِيعِ.

16 Pay close attention to your life and to your teaching. Persevere in these things, for by so doing you will save both yourself and those who hear you.

16 انْتَبِهْ جَيِّداً لِنَفْسِكَ وَلِلتَّعْلِيمِ. فَإِنَّكَ إِذْ تُوَاظِبُ عَلَى ذَلِكَ، تُنْقِذُ نَفْسَكَ وَسَامِعِيكَ أَيْضاً.
