Colossians 2

1 For I want you to know how much I am struggling for you and for those at Laodicea, and for all who have not met me face to face,

1 فَإِنِّي أُرِيدُ أَنْ تَعْلَمُوا أَيُّ جِهَادٍ لِي لِأَجْلِكُمْ، وَلِأَجْلِ ٱلَّذِينَ فِي لَاوُدِكِيَّةَ، وَجَمِيعِ ٱلَّذِينَ لَمْ يَرَوْا وَجْهِي فِي ٱلْجَسَدِ،

2 that they may be encouraged in heart, knit together in love, and filled with the full riches of complete understanding, so that they may know the mystery of God, namely Christ,

2 لِكَيْ تَتَعَزَّى قُلُوبُهُمْ مُقْتَرِنَةً فِي ٱلْمَحَبَّةِ لِكُلِّ غِنَى يَقِينِ ٱلْفَهْمِ، لِمَعْرِفَةِ سِرِّ ٱللهِ ٱلْآبِ وَٱلْمَسِيحِ،

3 in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.

3 ٱلْمُذَّخَرِ فِيهِ جَمِيعُ كُنُوزِ ٱلْحِكْمَةِ وَٱلْعِلْمِ.

4 I say this so that no one will deceive you by smooth rhetoric.

4 وَإِنَّمَا أَقُولُ هَذَا لِئَلَّا يَخْدَعَكُمْ أَحَدٌ بِكَلَامٍ مَلِقٍ.

5 For although I am absent from you in body, I am present with you in spirit, and I delight to see your orderly condition and firm faith in Christ.

5 فَإِنِّي وَإِنْ كُنْتُ غَائِبًا فِي ٱلْجَسَدِ لَكِنِّي مَعَكُمْ فِي ٱلرُّوحِ، فَرِحًا، وَنَاظِرًا تَرْتِيبَكُمْ وَمَتَانَةَ إِيمَانِكُمْ فِي ٱلْمَسِيحِ.

6 Therefore, just as you have received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to walk in Him,

6 فَكَمَا قَبِلْتُمُ ٱلْمَسِيحَ يَسُوعَ ٱلرَّبَّ ٱسْلُكُوا فِيهِ،

7 rooted and built up in Him, established in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness.

7 مُتَأَصِّلِينَ وَمَبْنِيِّينَ فِيهِ، وَمُوَطَّدِينَ فِي ٱلْإِيمَانِ، كَمَا عُلِّمْتُمْ، مُتَفَاضِلِينَ فِيهِ بِٱلشُّكْرِ.

8 See to it that no one takes you captive through philosophy and empty deception, which are based on human tradition and the spiritual forces of the world rather than on Christ.

8 اُنْظُرُوا أَنْ لَا يَكُونَ أَحَدٌ يَسْبِيكُمْ بِٱلْفَلْسَفَةِ وَبِغُرُورٍ بَاطِلٍ، حَسَبَ تَقْلِيدِ ٱلنَّاسِ، حَسَبَ أَرْكَانِ ٱلْعَالَمِ، وَلَيْسَ حَسَبَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ.

9 For in Christ all the fullness of the Deity dwells in bodily form.

9 فَإِنَّهُ فِيهِ يَحِلُّ كُلُّ مِلْءِ ٱللَّاهُوتِ جَسَدِيًّا.

10 And you have been made complete in Christ, who is the head over every ruler and authority.

10 وَأَنْتُمْ مَمْلُوؤُونَ فِيهِ، ٱلَّذِي هُوَ رَأْسُ كُلِّ رِيَاسَةٍ وَسُلْطَانٍ.

11 In Him you were also circumcised, in the putting off of your sinful nature, with the circumcision performed by Christ and not by human hands.

11 وَبِهِ أَيْضًا خُتِنْتُمْ خِتَانًا غَيْرَ مَصْنُوعٍ بِيَدٍ، بِخَلْعِ جِسْمِ خَطَايَا ٱلْبَشَرِيَّةِ، بِخِتَانِ ٱلْمَسِيحِ.

12 And having been buried with Him in baptism, you were raised with Him through your faith in the power of God, who raised Him from the dead.

12 مَدْفُونِينَ مَعَهُ فِي ٱلْمَعْمُودِيَّةِ، ٱلَّتِي فِيهَا أُقِمْتُمْ أَيْضًا مَعَهُ بِإِيمَانِ عَمَلِ ٱللهِ، ٱلَّذِي أَقَامَهُ مِنَ ٱلْأَمْوَاتِ.

13 When you were dead in your trespasses and in the uncircumcision of your sinful nature, God made you alive with Christ. He forgave us all our trespasses,

13 وَإِذْ كُنْتُمْ أَمْوَاتًا فِي ٱلْخَطَايَا وَغَلَفِ جَسَدِكُمْ، أَحْيَاكُمْ مَعَهُ، مُسَامِحًا لَكُمْ بِجَمِيعِ ٱلْخَطَايَا،

14 having canceled the debt ascribed to us in the decrees that stood against us. He took it away, nailing it to the cross!

14 إِذْ مَحَا ٱلصَّكَّ ٱلَّذِي عَلَيْنَا فِي ٱلْفَرَائِضِ، ٱلَّذِي كَانَ ضِدًّا لَنَا، وَقَدْ رَفَعَهُ مِنَ ٱلْوَسَطِ مُسَمِّرًا إِيَّاهُ بِٱلصَّلِيبِ،

15 And having disarmed the powers and authorities, He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them by the cross.

15 إِذْ جَرَّدَ ٱلرِّيَاسَاتِ وَٱلسَّلَاطِينَ أَشْهَرَهُمْ جِهَارًا، ظَافِرًا بِهِمْ فِيهِ.

16 Therefore let no one judge you by what you eat or drink, or with regard to a feast, a New Moon, or a Sabbath.

16 فَلَا يَحْكُمْ عَلَيْكُمْ أَحَدٌ فِي أَكْلٍ أَوْ شُرْبٍ، أَوْ مِنْ جِهَةِ عِيدٍ أَوْ هِلَالٍ أَوْ سَبْتٍ،

17 These are a shadow of the things to come, but the body that casts it belongs to Christ.

17 ٱلَّتِي هِيَ ظِلُّ ٱلْأُمُورِ ٱلْعَتِيدَةِ، وَأَمَّا ٱلْجَسَدُ فَلِلْمَسِيحِ.

18 Do not let anyone who delights in false humility and the worship of angels disqualify you with speculation about what he has seen. Such a person is puffed up without basis by his unspiritual mind.

18 لَا يُخَسِّرْكُمْ أَحَدٌ ٱلْجِعَالَةَ، رَاغِبًا فِي ٱلتَّوَاضُعِ وَعِبَادَةِ ٱلْمَلَائِكَةِ، مُتَدَاخِلًا فِي مَا لَمْ يَنْظُرْهُ، مُنْتَفِخًا بَاطِلًا مِنْ قِبَلِ ذِهْنِهِ ٱلْجَسَدِيِّ،

19 He has lost connection to the head, from whom the whole body, supported and knit together by its joints and ligaments, grows as God causes it to grow.

19 وَغَيْرَ مُتَمَسِّكٍ بِٱلرَّأْسِ ٱلَّذِي مِنْهُ كُلُّ ٱلْجَسَدِ بِمَفَاصِلَ وَرُبُطٍ، مُتَوَازِرًا وَمُقْتَرِنًا يَنْمُو نُمُوًّا مِنَ ٱللهِ.

20 If you have died with Christ to the spiritual forces of the world, why, as though you still belonged to the world, do you submit to its regulations:

20 إِذًا إِنْ كُنْتُمْ قَدْ مُتُّمْ مَعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ عَنْ أَرْكَانِ ٱلْعَالَمِ، فَلِمَاذَا كَأَنَّكُمْ عَائِشُونَ فِي ٱلْعَالَمِ؟ تُفْرَضُ عَلَيْكُمْ فَرَائِضُ:

21 “Do not handle, do not taste, do not touch!”?

21 «لَا تَمَسَّ! وَلَا تَذُقْ! وَلَا تَجُسَّ!»

22 These will all perish with use, because they are based on human commands and teachings.

22 ٱلَّتِي هِيَ جَمِيعُهَا لِلْفَنَاءِ فِي ٱلِٱسْتِعْمَالِ، حَسَبَ وَصَايَا وَتَعَالِيمِ ٱلنَّاسِ،

23 Such restrictions indeed have an appearance of wisdom, with their self-prescribed worship, their false humility, and their harsh treatment of the body; but they are of no value against the indulgence of the flesh.

23 ٱلَّتِي لَهَا حِكَايَةُ حِكْمَةٍ، بِعِبَادَةٍ نَافِلَةٍ، وَتَوَاضُعٍ، وَقَهْرِ ٱلْجَسَدِ، لَيْسَ بِقِيمَةٍ مَا مِنْ جِهَةِ إِشْبَاعِ ٱلْبَشَرِيَّةِ.
