Titus 3

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

1 ذَكِّرْهُمْ أَنْ يَخْضَعُوا لِلرِّيَاسَاتِ وَٱلسَّلَاطِينِ، وَيُطِيعُوا، وَيَكُونُوا مُسْتَعِدِّينَ لِكُلِّ عَمَلٍ صَالِحٍ،

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

2 وَلَا يَطْعَنُوا فِي أَحَدٍ، وَيَكُونُوا غَيْرَ مُخَاصِمِينَ، حُلَمَاءَ، مُظْهِرِينَ كُلَّ وَدَاعَةٍ لِجَمِيعِ ٱلنَّاسِ.

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 لِأَنَّنَا كُنَّا نَحْنُ أَيْضًا قَبْلًا أَغْبِيَاءَ، غَيْرَ طَائِعِينَ، ضَالِّينَ، مُسْتَعْبَدِينَ لِشَهَوَاتٍ وَلَذَّاتٍ مُخْتَلِفَةٍ، عَائِشِينَ فِي ٱلْخُبْثِ وَٱلْحَسَدِ، مَمْقُوتِينَ، مُبْغِضِينَ بَعْضُنَا بَعْضًا.

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

4 وَلَكِنْ حِينَ ظَهَرَ لُطْفُ مُخَلِّصِنَا ٱللهِ وَإِحْسَانُهُ -

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 لَا بِأَعْمَالٍ فِي بِرٍّ عَمِلْنَاهَا نَحْنُ، بَلْ بِمُقْتَضَى رَحْمَتِهِ - خَلَّصَنَا بِغُسْلِ ٱلْمِيلَادِ ٱلثَّانِي وَتَجْدِيدِ ٱلرُّوحِ ٱلْقُدُسِ،

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

6 ٱلَّذِي سَكَبَهُ بِغِنًى عَلَيْنَا بِيَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ 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 حَسَبَ رَجَاءِ ٱلْحَيَاةِ ٱلْأَبَدِيَّةِ.

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 صَادِقَةٌ هِيَ ٱلْكَلِمَةُ. وَأُرِيدُ أَنْ تُقَرِّرَ هَذِهِ ٱلْأُمُورَ، لِكَيْ يَهْتَمَّ ٱلَّذِينَ آمَنُوا بِٱللهِ أَنْ يُمَارِسُوا أَعْمَالًا حَسَنَةً. فَإِنَّ هَذِهِ ٱلْأُمُورَ هِيَ ٱلْحَسَنَةُ وَٱلنَّافِعَةُ لِلنَّاسِ.

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

9 وَأَمَّا ٱلْمُبَاحَثَاتُ ٱلْغَبِيَّةُ، وَٱلْأَنْسَابُ، وَٱلْخُصُومَاتُ، وَٱلْمُنَازَعَاتُ ٱلنَّامُوسِيةُ فَٱجْتَنِبْهَا، لِأَنَّهَا غَيْرُ نَافِعَةٍ، وَبَاطِلَةٌ.

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

10 اَلرَّجُلُ ٱلْمُبْتَدِعُ بَعْدَ ٱلْإِنْذَارِ مَرَّةً وَمَرَّتَيْنِ، أَعْرِضْ عَنْهُ.

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

11 عَالِمًا أَنَّ مِثْلَ هَذَا قَدِ ٱنْحَرَفَ، وَهُوَ يُخْطِئُ مَحْكُومًا عَلَيْهِ مِنْ نَفْسِهِ.

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 حِينَمَا أُرْسِلُ إِلَيْكَ أَرْتِيمَاسَ أَوْ تِيخِيكُسَ، بَادِرْ أَنْ تَأْتِيَ إِلَيَّ إِلَى نِيكُوبُولِيسَ، لِأَنِّي عَزَمْتُ أَنْ أُشَتِّيَ هُنَاكَ.

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

13 جَهِّزْ زِينَاسَ ٱلنَّامُوسِيَّ وَأَبُلُّوسَ بِٱجْتِهَادٍ لِلسَّفَرِ حَتَّى لَا يُعْوِزَهُمَا شَيْءٌ.

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 مَنْ لَنَا أَيْضًا أَنْ يُمَارِسُوا أَعْمَالًا حَسَنَةً لِلْحَاجَاتِ ٱلضَّرُورِيَّةِ، حَتَّى لَا يَكُونُوا بِلَا ثَمَرٍ.

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

15 يُسَلِّمُ عَلَيْكَ ٱلَّذِينَ مَعِي جَمِيعًا. سَلِّمْ عَلَى ٱلَّذِينَ يُحِبُّونَنَا فِي ٱلْإِيمَانِ. اَلنِّعْمَةُ مَعَ جَمِيعِكُمْ. آمِينَ.
