Colossians 3

1 Therefore, since you have been raised with Christ, strive for the things above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God.

1 فَبِمَا أَنَّكُمْ قَدْ قُمْتُمْ مَعَ الْمَسِيحِ، فَاسْعَوْا إِلَى الأُمُورِ الَّتِي فِي الْعُلَى، حَيْثُ الْمَسِيحُ جَالِسٌ عَنْ يَمِينِ اللهِ.

2 Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things.

2 اُحْصُرُوا اهْتِمَامَكُمْ بِالأُمُورِ الَّتِي فِي الْعُلَى، لَا بِالأُمُورِ الأَرْضِيَّةِ.

3 For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God.

3 فَإِنَّكُمْ قَدْ مُتُّمْ، وَحَيَاتُكُمْ مَسْتُورَةٌ مَعَ الْمَسِيحِ فِي اللهِ.

4 When Christ, who is your life, appears, then you also will appear with Him in glory.

4 فَعِنْدَمَا يُظْهَرُ الْمَسِيحُ، وَهُوَ حَيَاتُنَا، عِنْدَئِذٍ تُظْهَرُونَ أَنْتُمْ أَيْضاً مَعَهُ فِي الْمَجْدِ.

5 Put to death, therefore, the components of your earthly nature: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires, and greed, which is idolatry.

5 فَأَمِيتُوا إِذَنْ مُيُولَكُمْ الأَرْضِيَّةَ: الزِّنَى، النَّجَاسَةَ، جُمُوحَ الْعَاطِفَةِ، الشَّهْوَةَ الرَّدِيئَةَ، وَالاشْتِهَاءَ النَّهِمَ الَّذِي هُوَ عِبَادَةُ أَصْنَامٍ.

6 Because of these, the wrath of God is coming on the sons of disobedience.

6 فَبِسَبَبِ هَذِهِ الْخَطَايَا يَنْزِلُ غَضَبُ اللهِ،

7 When you lived among them, you also used to walk in these ways.

7 وَفِيهَا سَلَكْتُمْ فِي الْمَاضِي، حِينَ كُنْتُمْ تَعِيشُونَ فِيهَا.

8 But now you must put aside all such things as these: anger, rage, malice, slander, and filthy language from your lips.

8 وَأَمَّا الآنَ، فَانْزِعُوا عَنْكُمْ، أَنْتُمْ أَيْضاً، هذِهِ الْخَطَايَا كُلَّهَا: الْغَضَبَ، النَّقْمَةَ، الْخُبْثَ، التَّجْدِيفَ، الْكَلامَ الْقَبِيحَ الْخَارِجَ مِنْ أَفْوَاهِكُمْ.

9 Do not lie to one another, since you have taken off the old self with its practices,

9 لَا يَكْذِبْ أَحَدُكُمْ عَلَى الآخَرِ، إِذْ قَدْ نَزَعْتُمُ الإِنْسَانَ الْعَتِيقَ وَأَعْمَالَهُ

10 and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge in the image of its Creator.

10 وَلَبِسْتُمُ الْجَدِيدَ الَّذِي يَتَجَدَّدُ لِبُلُوغِ تَمَامِ الْمَعْرِفَةِ وَفْقاً لِصُورَةِ خَالِقِهِ،

11 Here there is no Greek or Jew, circumcised or uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave, or free, but Christ is all and is in all.

11 وَفِيهِ لَا فَرْقَ بَيْنَ يُونَانِيٍّ وَيَهُودِيٍّ، أَوْ مَخْتُونٍ وَغَيْرِ مَخْتُونٍ، أَوْ مُتَحَضِّرٍ وَغَيْرِ مُتَحَضِّرٍ، أَوْ عَبْدٍ وَحُرٍّ، بَلِ الْمَسِيحُ هُوَ الْكُلُّ وَفِي الْكُلِّ.

12 Therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, clothe yourselves with hearts of compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience.

12 فَبِاعْتِبَارِكُمْ جَمَاعَةً مُخْتَارَةً مِنَ اللهِ، قِدِّيسِينَ مَحْبُوبِينَ، الْبَسُوا دَائِماً مَشَاعِرَ الْحَنَانِ وَاللُّطْفَ وَالتَّوَاضُعَ وَالوَدَاعَةَ وَطُولَ الْبَالِ،

13 Bear with one another and forgive any complaint you may have against someone else. Forgive as the Lord forgave you.

13 مُحْتَمِلِينَ بَعْضُكُمْ بَعْضاً، وَمُسَامِحِينَ بَعْضُكُمْ بَعْضاً. إِنْ كَانَ لأَحَدِكُمْ شَكْوَى عَلَى آخَرَ، كَمَا سَامَحَكُمُ الرَّبُّ، هكَذَا افْعَلُوا أَنْتُمْ أَيْضاً.

14 And over all these virtues put on love, which is the bond of perfect unity.

14 وَفَوْقَ هَذَا كُلِّهِ الْبَسُوا الْمَحَبَّةَ، فَهِيَ رَابِطَةُ الْكَمَالِ.

15 Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, for to this you were called as members of one body. And be thankful.

15 وَلْيَمْلِكْ فِي قُلُوبِكُمْ سَلامُ الْمَسِيحِ، فَإِلَيْهِ قَدْ دُعِيتُمْ فِي الْجَسَدِ الْوَاحِدِ؛ وَكُونُوا شَاكِرِينَ!

16 Let the word of Christ richly dwell within you as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom, and as you sing psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs with gratitude in your hearts to God.

16 لِتَسْكُنْ كَلِمَةُ الْمَسِيحِ فِي دَاخِلِكُمْ بِغِنىً، فِي كُلِّ حِكْمَةٍ، مُعَلِّمِينَ وَوَاعِظِينَ بَعْضُكُمْ بَعْضَاً، مُرَنِّمِينَ بِمَزَامِيرَ وَتَسَابِيحَ وَأَنَاشِيدَ رُوحِيَّةٍ فِي قُلُوبِكُمْ لِلهِ، رَافِعِينَ لَهُ الْحَمْدَ.

17 And whatever you do, in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him.

17 وَمَهْمَا كَانَ مَا تَعْمَلُونَهُ، بِالْقَوْلِ أَوْ بِالْفِعْلِ، فَلْيَجْرِ كُلُّ شَيْءٍ بِاسْمِ الرَّبِّ يَسُوعَ، رَافِعِينَ بِهِ الشُّكْرَ لِلهِ الآبِ.

18 Wives, submit to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord.

18 أَيَّتُهَا الزَّوْجَاتُ اخْضَعْنَ لأَزْوَاجِكُنَّ كَمَا يَلِيقُ (بِالْعِيشَةِ) فِي الرَّبِّ.

19 Husbands, love your wives and do not be harsh with them.

19 أَيُّهَا الأَزْوَاجُ، أَحِبُّوا زَوْجَاتِكُمْ، وَلا تُعَامِلُوهُنَّ بِقَسْوَةٍ.

20 Children, obey your parents in everything, for this is pleasing to the Lord.

20 أَيُّهَا الأَوْلادُ، أَطِيعُوا وَالِدِيكُمْ فِي كُلِّ أَمْرٍ، لأَنَّ ذَلِكَ مَرْضِيٌّ فِي الرَّبِّ.

21 Fathers, do not provoke your children, so they will not become discouraged.

21 أَيُّهَا الآبَاءُ، لَا تُثِيرُوا غَضَبَ أَوْلادِكُمْ لِئَلّا يُصِيبَهُمُ الْفَشَلُ.

22 Slaves, obey your earthly masters in everything, not only to please them while they are watching, but with sincerity of heart and fear of the Lord.

22 أَيُّهَا الْعَبِيدُ، أَطِيعُوا فِي كُلِّ أَمْرٍ سَادَتَكُمُ الْبَشَرِيِّينَ، فَلا تَعْمَلُوا بِجِدٍّ فَقَطْ حِينَ تَكُونُ عُيُونُهُمْ عَلَيْكُمْ، كَمَنْ يُحَاوِلُ إِرْضَاءَ النَّاسِ، بَلْ بِقَلْبٍ صَادِقٍ خَائِفِينَ الرَّبَّ.

23 Whatever you do, work at it with your whole being, as for the Lord and not for men,

23 وَمَهْمَا عَمِلْتُمْ، فَاجْتَهِدُوا فِيهِ مِنْ صَمِيمِ الْقَلْبِ، وَكَأَنَّهُ لِلرَّبِّ لَا لِلنَّاسِ،

24 because you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as your reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving.

24 عَالِمِينَ أَنَّكُمْ سَوْفَ تَنَالُونَ الْمُكَافَأَةَ بِالْمِيرَاثِ مِنَ الرَّبِّ. فَإِنَّمَا أَنْتُمْ عَبِيدٌ تَخْدِمُونَ الرَّبَّ الْمَسِيحَ

25 Whoever does wrong will be repaid for his wrong, and there is no favoritism.

25 وَأَمَّا مَنْ عَمِلَ شَرّاً فَسَوْفَ يَنَالُ جَزَاءَ عَمَلِهِ الشِّرِّيرِ، وَلَيْسَ مُحَابَاةٌ.
