Titus 3

1 Remind the believers to submit to rulers and authorities, to be obedient and ready for every good work,

1 ذَكِّرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ أَنْ يَخْضَعُوا لِلْحُكَّامِ وَالسُّلُطَاتِ، وَيُطِيعُوا الْقَانُونَ، وَيَكُونُوا مُسْتَعِدِّينَ لِكُلِّ عَمَلٍ صَالِحٍ،

2 to malign no one, and to be peaceable and gentle, showing full consideration to everyone.

2 وَلا يَقُولُوا سُوءاً فِي أَحَدٍ، وَلا يَكُونُوا مُخَاصِمِينَ، بَلْ لُطَفَاءَ يُعَامِلُونَ الْجَمِيعَ بِوَدَاعَةٍ تَامَّةٍ.

3 For at one time we too were foolish, disobedient, misled, and enslaved to all sorts of desires and pleasures—living in malice and envy, being hated and hating one another.

3 فَإِنَّنَا نَحْنُ أَيْضاً كُنَّا فِي الْمَاضِي جُهَّالاً، غَيْرَ مُطِيعِينَ، تَائِهِينَ فِي الضَّلالِ، عَبِيداً يَخْدِمُونَ الشَّهَوَاتِ وَاللَّذَّاتِ الْمُخْتَلِفَةَ، نَعِيشُ فِي الْخُبْثِ وَالْحَسَدِ، مَكْرُوهِينَ، وَكَارِهِينَ بَعْضُنَا لِبَعْضٍ.

4 But when the kindness of God our Savior and His love for mankind appeared,

4 وَلَكِنْ، لَمَّا ظَهَرَ لُطْفُ مُخَلِّصِنَا اللهِ، وَمَحَبَّتُهُ لِلنَّاسِ،

5 He saved us, not by the righteous deeds we had done, but according to His mercy, through the washing of new birth and renewal by the Holy Spirit.

5 خَلَّصَنَا، لَا عَلَى أَسَاسِ أَعْمَالِ بِرٍّ قُمْنَا بِها نَحْنُ، وَإِنَّمَا بِمُوجِبِ رَحْمَتِهِ، وَذَلِكَ بِأَنْ غَسَلَنَا كُلِّيًّا غُسْلَ الْخَلِيقَةِ الْجَدِيدَةِ وَالتَّجْدِيدِ الَّذِي يُجْرِيهِ الرُّوحُ الْقُدُسُ،

6 This is the Spirit He poured out on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior,

6 الَّذِي سَكَبَهُ عَلَيْنَا بِغِنىً بِيَسُوعَ الْمَسِيحِ مُخَلِّصِنَا.

7 so that, having been justified by His grace, we would become heirs with the hope of eternal life.

7 حَتَّى إِذَا تَبَرَّرْنَا بِنِعْمَتِهِ، نَصِيرُ وَرَثَةً، وَفْقاً لِرَجَائِنَا بِالْحَيَاةِ الأَبَدِيَّةِ.

8 This saying is trustworthy. And I want you to emphasize these things, so that those who have believed God will take care to devote themselves to good deeds. These things are excellent and profitable for the people.

8 صَادِقٌ هَذَا الْقَوْلُ! وَأُرِيدُ أَنْ تُقَرِّرَ هَذِهِ الأُمُورَ قَرَاراً حَاسِماً، حَتَّى يَهْتَمَّ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا بِاللهِ بِأَنْ يَجْتَهِدُوا فِي الأَعْمَالِ الصَّالِحَةِ. هَذِهِ الأُمُورُ حَسَنَةٌ وَنَافِعَةٌ لِلنَّاسِ.

9 But avoid foolish controversies, genealogies, arguments, and quarrels about the law, because these things are pointless and worthless.

9 أَمَّا الْمَسَائِلُ السَّخِيفَةُ، وَسَلاسِلُ النَّسَبِ، وَالْمُخَاصَمَاتُ، وَالْمُنَازَعَاتُ حَوْلَ الشَّرِيعَةِ، فَتَجَنَّبْهَا، لأَنَّهَا غَيْرُ نَافِعَةٍ، وَبَاطِلَةٌ.

10 Reject a divisive man after a first and second admonition,

10 وَصَاحِبُ الْهَرْطَقَةِ اقْطَعِ الْعَلاقَةَ بِهِ بَعْدَ إِنْذَارِهِ أَوَّلاً وَثَانِياً،

11 knowing that such a man is corrupt and sinful; he is self-condemned.

11 عَالِماً أَنَّ مِثْلَ هَذَا مُنْحَرِفٌ يَمْضِي فِي الْخَطِيئَةِ وَقَدْ حَكَمَ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ بِنَفْسِهِ!

12 As soon as I send Artemas or Tychicus to you, make every effort to come to me at Nicopolis, because I have decided to winter there.

12 حَالَمَا أُرْسِلُ إِلَيْكَ أَرْتِمَاسَ أَوْ تِيخِيكُسَ، اجْتَهِدْ أَنْ تَأْتِيَنِي إِلَى مَدِينَةِ نِيكُوبُولِيسَ، لأَنِّي قَرَّرْتُ أَنْ أُقَضِّيَ فَصْلَ الشِّتَاءِ هُنَاكَ.

13 Do your best to equip Zenas the lawyer and Apollos, so that they will have everything they need.

13 اجْتَهِدْ فِي إِطْلاقِ زِينَاسَ الْمُحَامِي وَأَبُلُّوسَ بَعْدَ تَزْوِيدِهِمَا لِلسَّفَرِ، حَتَّى لَا يَحْتَاجَا إِلَى شَيْءٍ.

14 And our people must also learn to devote themselves to good works in order to meet the pressing needs of others, so that they will not be unfruitful.

14 وَلْيَتَعَلَّمْ ذَوُونَا أَيْضاً أَنْ يُمَارِسُوا أَعْمَالاً حَسَنَةً، لِسَدِّ الْحَاجَاتِ الضَّرُورِيَّةِ، لِكَيْ لَا يَكُونُوا عَدِيمِي الثَّمَرِ.

15 All who are with me send you greetings. Greet those who love us in the faith. Grace be with all of you.

15 جَمِيعُ الَّذِينَ مَعِي يُسَلِّمُونَ عَلَيْكَ. سَلِّمْ عَلَى مُحِبِّينَا فِي الإِيمَانِ. لِتَكُنِ النِّعْمَةُ مَعَكُمْ جَمِيعاً!
