I Thessalonians 4

فَمِنْ ثَمَّ أَيُّهَا الإِخْوَةُ نَسْأَلُكُمْ وَنَطْلُبُ إِلَيْكُمْ فِي الرَّبِّ يَسُوعَ، أَنَّكُمْ كَمَا تَسَلَّمْتُمْ مِنَّا كَيْفَ يَجِبُ أَنْ تَسْلُكُوا وَتُرْضُوا اللهَ، تَزْدَادُونَ أَكْثَرَ.

Furthermore then we beseech you, brethren, and exhort you by the Lord Jesus, that as ye have received of us how ye ought to walk and to please God, so ye would abound more and more.

لأَنَّكُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ أَيَّةَ وَصَايَا أَعْطَيْنَاكُمْ بِالرَّبِّ يَسُوعَ.

For ye know what commandments we gave you by the Lord Jesus.

لأَنَّ هذِهِ هِيَ إِرَادَةُ اللهِ: قَدَاسَتُكُمْ. أَنْ تَمْتَنِعُوا عَنِ الزِّنَا،

For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication:

أَنْ يَعْرِفَ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْكُمْ أَنْ يَقْتَنِيَ إِنَاءَهُ بِقَدَاسَةٍ وَكَرَامَةٍ،

That every one of you should know how to possess his vessel in sanctification and honour;

لاَ فِي هَوَى شَهْوَةٍ كَالأُمَمِ الَّذِينَ لاَ يَعْرِفُونَ اللهَ.

Not in the lust of concupiscence, even as the Gentiles which know not God:

أَنْ لاَ يَتَطَاوَلَ أَحَدٌ وَيَطْمَعَ عَلَى أَخِيهِ فِي هذَا الأَمْرِ، لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ مُنْتَقِمٌ لِهذِهِ كُلِّهَا كَمَا قُلْنَا لَكُمْ قَبْلاً وَشَهِدْنَا.

That no man go beyond and defraud his brother in any matter: because that the Lord is the avenger of all such, as we also have forewarned you and testified.

لأَنَّ اللهَ لَمْ يَدْعُنَا لِلنَّجَاسَةِ بَلْ فِي الْقَدَاسَةِ.

For God hath not called us unto uncleanness, but unto holiness.

إِذًا مَنْ يُرْذِلُ لاَ يُرْذِلُ إِنْسَانًا، بَلِ اللهَ الَّذِي أَعْطَانَا أَيْضًا رُوحَهُ الْقُدُّوسَ.

He therefore that despiseth, despiseth not man, but God, who hath also given unto us his holy Spirit.

وَأَمَّا الْمَحَبَّةُ الأَخَوِيَّةُ فَلاَ حَاجَةَ لَكُمْ أَنْ أَكْتُبَ إِلَيْكُمْ عَنْهَا، لأَنَّكُمْ أَنْفُسَكُمْ مُتَعَلِّمُونَ مِنَ اللهِ أَنْ يُحِبَّ بَعْضُكُمْ بَعْضًا.

But as touching brotherly love ye need not that I write unto you: for ye yourselves are taught of God to love one another.

فَإِنَّكُمْ تَفْعَلُونَ ذلِكَ أَيْضًا لِجَمِيعِ الإِخْوَةِ الَّذِينَ فِي مَكِدُونِيَّةَ كُلِّهَا. وَإِنَّمَا أَطْلُبُ إِلَيْكُمْ أَيُّهَا الإِخْوَةُ أَنْ تَزْدَادُوا أَكْثَرَ،

And indeed ye do it toward all the brethren which are in all Macedonia: but we beseech you, brethren, that ye increase more and more;

وَأَنْ تَحْرِصُوا عَلَى أَنْ تَكُونُوا هَادِئِينَ، وَتُمَارِسُوا أُمُورَكُمُ الْخَاصَّةَ، وَتَشْتَغِلُوا بِأَيْدِيكُمْ أَنْتُمْ كَمَا أَوْصَيْنَاكُمْ،

And that ye study to be quiet, and to do your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you;

لِكَيْ تَسْلُكُوا بِلِيَاقَةٍ عِنْدَ الَّذِينَ هُمْ مِنْ خَارِجٍ، وَلاَ تَكُونَ لَكُمْ حَاجَةٌ إِلَى أَحَدٍ.

That ye may walk honestly toward them that are without, and that ye may have lack of nothing.

ثُمَّ لاَ أُرِيدُ أَنْ تَجْهَلُوا أَيُّهَا الإِخْوَةُ مِنْ جِهَةِ الرَّاقِدِينَ، لِكَيْ لاَ تَحْزَنُوا كَالْبَاقِينَ الَّذِينَ لاَ رَجَاءَ لَهُمْ.

But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.

لأَنَّهُ إِنْ كُنَّا نُؤْمِنُ أَنَّ يَسُوعَ مَاتَ وَقَامَ، فَكَذلِكَ الرَّاقِدُونَ بِيَسُوعَ، سَيُحْضِرُهُمُ اللهُ أَيْضًا مَعَهُ.

For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.

فَإِنَّنَا نَقُولُ لَكُمْ هذَا بِكَلِمَةِ الرَّبِّ: إِنَّنَا نَحْنُ الأَحْيَاءَ الْبَاقِينَ إِلَى مَجِيءِ الرَّبِّ، لاَ نَسْبِقُ الرَّاقِدِينَ.

For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.

لأَنَّ الرَّبّ نََفْسَهُ بِهُتَافٍ، بِصَوْتِ رَئِيسِ مَلاَئِكَةٍ وَبُوقِ اللهِ، سَوْفَ يَنْزِلُ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ وَالأَمْوَاتُ فِي الْمَسِيحِ سَيَقُومُونَ أَوَّلاً.

For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:

ثُمَّ نَحْنُ الأَحْيَاءَ الْبَاقِينَ سَنُخْطَفُ جَمِيعًا مَعَهُمْ فِي السُّحُبِ لِمُلاَقَاةِ الرَّبِّ فِي الْهَوَاءِ، وَهكَذَا نَكُونُ كُلَّ حِينٍ مَعَ الرَّبِّ.

Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

لِذلِكَ عَزُّوا بَعْضُكُمْ بَعْضًا بِهذَا الْكَلاَمِ.

Wherefore comfort one another with these words.
