Ephesians 6

1 Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right.

1 أَيُّهَا الأَوْلادُ، أَطِيعُوا وَالِدِيكُمْ فِي الرَّبِّ. فَهَذَا هُوَ الصَّوَابُ:

2 “Honor your father and mother” (which is the first commandment with a promise),

2 «أَكْرِمْ أَبَاكَ وَأُمَّكَ» وَهَذِهِ أَوَّلُ وَصِيَّةٍ مُرْتَبِطَةٍ بِوَعْدٍ

3 “that it may go well with you and that you may have a long life on the earth.”

3 «لِكَيْ تُلاقِيَ الْخَيْرَ وَيَطُولَ عُمْرُكَ عَلَى الأَرْضِ!»

4 Fathers, do not provoke your children to wrath; instead, bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.

4 وَأَنْتُمْ، أَيُّهَا الآبَاءُ، لَا تُثِيرُوا غَضَبَ أَوْلادِكُمْ. وَإِنَّمَا رَبُّوهُمْ بِتَأْدِيبِ الرَّبِّ وَوَصَايَاهُ.

5 Slaves, obey your earthly masters with respect and fear and sincerity of heart, just as you would obey Christ.

5 أَيُّهَا الْعَبِيدُ، أَطِيعُوا سَادَتَكُمُ الْبَشَرِيِّينَ بِخَوْفٍ وَارْتِعَادٍ، مِنْ قَلْبٍ صَادِقٍ، كَمَنْ يُطِيعُ الْمَسِيحَ،

6 And do this not only to please them while they are watching, but as servants of Christ, doing the will of God from your heart.

6 غَيْرَ عَامِلِينَ بِجِدٍّ فَقَطْ حِينَ تَكُونُ عُيُونُهُمْ عَلَيْكُمْ كَمَنْ يُحَاوِلُ إِرْضَاءَ النَّاسِ، بَلِ انْطِلاقاً مِنْ كَوْنِكُمْ عَبِيداً لِلْمَسِيحِ،

7 Serve with good will, as to the Lord and not to men,

7 عَامِلِينَ بِمَشِيئَةِ اللهِ مِنَ الْقَلْبِ، خَادِمِينَ بِنِيَّةٍ حَسَنَةٍ كَمَا لِلرَّبِّ، لَا لِلنَّاسِ.

8 because you know that the Lord will reward each one for whatever good he does, whether he is slave or free.

8 فَأَنْتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ أَنَّهُ مَهْمَا عَمِلَ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مِنَ الْخَيْرِ، فَسَوْفَ يَنَالُ الْمُكَافَأَةَ مِنَ الرَّبِّ، سَوَاءٌ أَكَانَ عَبْداً أَمْ حُرّاً.

9 And masters, do the same for your slaves. Give up your use of threats, because you know that He who is both their Master and yours is in heaven, and there is no favoritism with Him.

9 وَأَنْتُمْ، أَيُّهَا السَّادَةُ، عَامِلُوهُمْ بِمِثْلِ هذِهِ الْمُعَامَلَةِ غَيْرَ لاجِئِينَ إِلَى التَّهْدِيدِ، عَالِمِينَ أَنَّ سَيِّدَكُمْ وَسَيِّدَهُمْ هُوَ فِي السَّمَاءِ، وَهُوَ لَا يُحَابِي أَحَداً.

10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in His mighty power.

10 وَخِتَاماً، تَشَدَّدُوا فِي الرَّبِّ وَفِي قُدْرَةِ قُوَّتِهِ.

11 Put on the full armor of God, so that you can make your stand against the devil’s schemes.

11 الْبَسُوا سِلاحَ اللهِ الْكَامِلَ، لِتَتَمَكَّنُوا مِنَ الصُّمُودِ فِي وَجْهِ مَكَايِدِ إِبْلِيسَ.

12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this world’s darkness, and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.

12 فَإِنَّ حَرْبَنَا لَيْسَتْ ضِدَّ ذَوِي اللَّحْمِ وَالدَّمِ، بَلْ ضِدُّ الرِّئَاسَاتِ، ضِدُّ السُّلُطَاتِ، ضِدُّ أَسْيَادِ الْعَالَمِ حُكَّامِ هَذَا الظَّلامِ، ضِدُّ قِوَى الشَّرِّ الرُّوحِيَّةِ فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ.

13 Therefore take up the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you will be able to stand your ground, and having done everything, to stand.

13 لِذَلِكَ اتَّخِذُوا سِلاحَ اللهِ الْكَامِلَ، لِتَتَمَكَّنُوا مِنَ الْمُقَاوَمَةِ فِي يَوْمِ الشَّرِّ، وَمِنَ الصُّمُودِ أَيْضاً بَعْدَ تَحْقِيقِ كُلِّ هَدَفٍ.

14 Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness arrayed,

14 فَاصْمُدُوا إِذَنْ بَعْدَ أَنْ تَتَّخِذُوا الْحَقَّ حِزَاماً لأَوْسَاطِكُمْ، وَالصَّلاحَ دِرْعاً لِصُدُورِكُمْ،

15 and with your feet fitted with the readiness of the gospel of peace.

15 وَالاسْتِعْدَادَ لِنَشْرِ بِشَارَةِ السَّلامِ حِذَاءً لأَقْدَامِكُمْ.

16 In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one.

16 وَفَوْقَ هَذَا كُلِّهِ، احْمِلُوا الإِيمَانَ تُرْساً بِهِ تَقْدِرُونَ أَنْ تُطْفِئُوا جَمِيعَ سِهَامِ الشِّرِّيرِ الْمُشْتَعِلَةِ.

17 And take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.

17 وَاتَّخِذُوا الْخَلاصَ خُوذَةً لِلرَّأْسِ، وَكَلِمَةَ اللهِ سَيْفَ الرُّوحِ.

18 Pray in the Spirit at all times, with every kind of prayer and petition. To this end, stay alert with all perseverance in your prayers for all the saints.

18 صَلُّوا فِي كُلِّ حَالٍ، بِكُلِّ صَلاةٍ وَطِلْبَةٍ فِي الرُّوحِ، وَسَاهِرِينَ لِهَذَا الْغَرَضِ عَيْنِهِ مُوَاظِبِينَ تَمَاماً عَلَى جَمِيعِ الطِّلْبَاتِ لأَجْلِ الْقِدِّيسِينَ جَمِيعاً،

19 Pray also for me, that whenever I open my mouth, words may be given me so that I will boldly make known the mystery of the gospel,

19 وَلأَجْلِي كَيْ أُلْهَمَ مَا أَنْطِقُ بِهِ كُلَّمَا فَتَحْتُ فَمِي لأُعْلِنَ بِجُرْأَةٍ سِرَّ الإِنْجِيلِ

20 for which I am an ambassador in chains. Pray that I may proclaim it fearlessly, as I should.

20 الَّذِي أَنَا سَفِيرُهُ الْمُقَيَّدُ بِالسَّلاسِلِ، فَأَكُونُ جَرِيئاً فِي إِعْلانِهِ كَمَا يَجِبُ أَنْ أَتَكَلَّمَ بِهِ.

21 Tychicus, the beloved brother and faithful servant in the Lord, will tell you everything, so that you also may know about me and what I am doing.

21 وَلِكَيْ تَعْرِفُوا أَحْوَالِي وَأَخْبَارَ عَمَلِي، فَإِنَّ تِيخِيكُسَ، الأَخَ الْحَبِيبَ وَالْخَادِمَ الأَمِينَ فِي الرَّبِّ، يُخْبِرُكُمْ بِها جَمِيعاً.

22 I have sent him to you for this very purpose, that you may know about us, and that he may encourage your hearts.

22 وَقَدْ أَرْسَلْتُهُ إِلَيْكُمْ لِهَذَا الأَمْرِ بِعَيْنِهِ: لِتَعْرِفُوا أَحْوَالِي فَتَتَشَجَّعُ قُلُوبُكُمْ.

23 Peace to the brothers and love with faith from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

23 سَلامٌ إِلَى الإِخْوَةِ، وَمَحَبَّةٌ مَعَ إِيمَانٍ، مِنَ اللهِ الآبِ وَالرَّبِّ يَسُوعَ الْمَسِيحِ!

24 Grace to all who love our Lord Jesus Christ with an undying love.

24 لِتَكُنِ النِّعْمَةُ مَعَ جَمِيعِ الَّذِينَ يُحِبُّونَ رَبَّنَا يَسُوعَ الْمَسِيحَ مَحَبَّةً لَا يَعْتَرِيهَا الْفَسَادُ!
