I Peter 1

Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the strangers scattered throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia,

بُطْرُسُ، رَسُولُ يَسُوعَ الْمَسِيحِ، إِلَى الْمُتَغَرِّبِينَ مِنْ شَتَاتِ بُنْتُسَ وَغَلاَطِيَّةَ وَكَبَّدُوكِيَّةَ وَأَسِيَّا وَبِيثِينِيَّةَ، الْمُخْتَارِينَ

Elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace unto you, and peace, be multiplied.

بِمُقْتَضَى عِلْمِ اللهِ الآبِ السَّابِقِ، فِي تَقْدِيسِ الرُّوحِ لِلطَّاعَةِ، وَرَشِّ دَمِ يَسُوعَ الْمَسِيحِ: لِتُكْثَرْ لَكُمُ النِّعْمَةُ وَالسَّلاَمُ.

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,

مُبَارَكٌ اللهُ أَبُو رَبِّنَا يَسُوعَ الْمَسِيحِ، الَّذِي حَسَبَ رَحْمَتِهِ الْكَثِيرَةِ وَلَدَنَا ثَانِيَةً لِرَجَاءٍ حَيٍّ، بِقِيَامَةِ يَسُوعَ الْمَسِيحِ مِنَ الأَمْوَاتِ،

To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you,

لِمِيرَاثٍ لاَ يَفْنَى وَلاَ يَتَدَنَّسُ وَلاَ يَضْمَحِلُّ، مَحْفُوظٌ فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ لأَجْلِكُمْ،

Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.

أَنْتُمُ الَّذِينَ بِقُوَّةِ اللهِ مَحْرُوسُونَ، بِإِيمَانٍ، لِخَلاَصٍ مُسْتَعَدٍّ أَنْ يُعْلَنَ فِي الزَّمَانِ الأَخِيرِ.

Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations:

الَّذِي بِهِ تَبْتَهِجُونَ، مَعَ أَنَّكُمُ الآنَ ­ إِنْ كَانَ يَجِبُ ­ تُحْزَنُونَ يَسِيرًا بِتَجَارِبَ مُتَنَوِّعَةٍ،

That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ:

لِكَيْ تَكُونَ تَزْكِيَةُ إِيمَانِكُمْ، وَهِيَ أَثْمَنُ مِنَ الذَّهَبِ الْفَانِي، مَعَ أَنَّهُ يُمْتَحَنُ بِالنَّارِ، تُوجَدُ لِلْمَدْحِ وَالْكَرَامَةِ وَالْمَجْدِ عِنْدَ اسْتِعْلاَنِ يَسُوعَ الْمَسِيحِ،

Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory:

الَّذِي وَإِنْ لَمْ تَرَوْهُ تُحِبُّونَهُ. ذلِكَ وَإِنْ كُنْتُمْ لاَ تَرَوْنَهُ الآنَ لكِنْ تُؤْمِنُونَ بِهِ، فَتَبْتَهِجُونَ بِفَرَحٍ لاَ يُنْطَقُ بِهِ وَمَجِيدٍ،

Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls.

نَائِلِينَ غَايَةَ إِيمَانِكُمْ خَلاَصَ النُّفُوسِ.

Of which salvation the prophets have enquired and searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace that should come unto you:

الْخَلاَصَ الَّذِي فَتَّشَ وَبَحَثَ عَنْهُ أَنْبِيَاءُ، الَّذِينَ تَنَبَّأُوا عَنِ النِّعْمَةِ الَّتِي لأَجْلِكُمْ،

Searching what, or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them did signify, when it testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ, and the glory that should follow.

بَاحِثِينَ أَيُّ وَقْتٍ أَوْ مَا الْوَقْتُ الَّذِي كَانَ يَدِلُّ عَلَيْهِ رُوحُ الْمَسِيحِ الَّذِي فِيهِمْ، إِذْ سَبَقَ فَشَهِدَ بِالآلاَمِ الَّتِي لِلْمَسِيحِ، وَالأَمْجَادِ الَّتِي بَعْدَهَا.

Unto whom it was revealed, that not unto themselves, but unto us they did minister the things, which are now reported unto you by them that have preached the gospel unto you with the Holy Ghost sent down from heaven; which things the angels desire to look into.

الَّذِينَ أُعْلِنَ لَهُمْ أَنَّهُمْ لَيْسَ لأَنْفُسِهِمْ، بَلْ لَنَا كَانُوا يَخْدِمُونَ بِهذِهِ الأُمُورِ الَّتِي أُخْبِرْتُمْ بِهَا أَنْتُمُ الآنَ، بِوَاسِطَةِ الَّذِينَ بَشَّرُوكُمْ فِي الرُّوحِ الْقُدُسِ الْمُرْسَلِ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ. الَّتِي تَشْتَهِي الْمَلاَئِكَةُ أَنْ تَطَّلِعَ عَلَيْهَا.

Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ;

لِذلِكَ مَنْطِقُوا أَحْقَاءَ ذِهْنِكُمْ صَاحِينَ، فَأَلْقُوا رَجَاءَكُمْ بِالتَّمَامِ عَلَى النِّعْمَةِ الَّتِي يُؤْتَى بِهَا إِلَيْكُمْ عِنْدَ اسْتِعْلاَنِ يَسُوعَ الْمَسِيحِ.

As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance:

كَأَوْلاَدِ الطَّاعَةِ، لاَ تُشَاكِلُوا شَهَوَاتِكُمُ السَّابِقَةَ فِي جَهَالَتِكُمْ،

But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation;

بَلْ نَظِيرَ الْقُدُّوسِ الَّذِي دَعَاكُمْ، كُونُوا أَنْتُمْ أَيْضًا قِدِّيسِينَ فِي كُلِّ سِيرَةٍ.

Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.

لأَنَّهُ مَكْتُوبٌ:«كُونُوا قِدِّيسِينَ لأَنِّي أَنَا قُدُّوسٌ».

And if ye call on the Father, who without respect of persons judgeth according to every man's work, pass the time of your sojourning here in fear:

وَإِنْ كُنْتُمْ تَدْعُونَ أَبًا الَّذِي يَحْكُمُ بِغَيْرِ مُحَابَاةٍ حَسَبَ عَمَلِ كُلِّ وَاحِدٍ، فَسِيرُوا زَمَانَ غُرْبَتِكُمْ بِخَوْفٍ،

Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers;

عَالِمِينَ أَنَّكُمُ افْتُدِيتُمْ لاَ بِأَشْيَاءَ تَفْنَى، بِفِضَّةٍ أَوْ ذَهَبٍ، مِنْ سِيرَتِكُمُ الْبَاطِلَةِ الَّتِي تَقَلَّدْتُمُوهَا مِنَ الآبَاءِ،

But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:

بَلْ بِدَمٍ كَرِيمٍ، كَمَا مِنْ حَمَل بِلاَ عَيْبٍ وَلاَ دَنَسٍ، دَمِ الْمَسِيحِ،

Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you,

مَعْرُوفًا سَابِقًا قَبْلَ تَأْسِيسِ الْعَالَمِ، وَلكِنْ قَدْ أُظْهِرَ فِي الأَزْمِنَةِ الأَخِيرَةِ مِنْ أَجْلِكُمْ،

Who by him do believe in God, that raised him up from the dead, and gave him glory; that your faith and hope might be in God.

أَنْتُمُ الَّذِينَ بِهِ تُؤْمِنُونَ بِاللهِ الَّذِي أَقَامَهُ مِنَ الأَمْوَاتِ وَأَعْطَاهُ مَجْدًا، حَتَّى إِنَّ إِيمَانَكُمْ وَرَجَاءَكُمْ هُمَا فِي اللهِ.

Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently:

طَهِّرُوا نُفُوسَكُمْ فِي طَاعَةِ الْحَقِّ بِالرُّوحِ لِلْمَحَبَّةِ الأَخَوِيَّةِ الْعَدِيمَةِ الرِّيَاءِ، فَأَحِبُّوا بَعْضُكُمْ بَعْضًا مِنْ قَلْبٍ طَاهِرٍ بِشِدَّةٍ.

Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.

مَوْلُودِينَ ثَانِيَةً، لاَ مِنْ زَرْعٍ يَفْنَى، بَلْ مِمَّا لاَ يَفْنَى، بِكَلِمَةِ اللهِ الْحَيَّةِ الْبَاقِيَةِ إِلَى الأَبَدِ.

For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away:

لأَنَّ:«كُلَّ جَسَدٍ كَعُشْبٍ، وَكُلَّ مَجْدِ إِنْسَانٍ كَزَهْرِ عُشْبٍ. الْعُشْبُ يَبِسَ وَزَهْرُهُ سَقَطَ،

But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you.

وَأَمَّا كَلِمَةُ الرَّبِّ فَتَثْبُتُ إِلَى الأَبَدِ». وَهذِهِ هِيَ الْكَلِمَةُ الَّتِي بُشِّرْتُمْ بِهَا.
