Colossians 2

For I would that ye knew what great conflict I have for you, and for them at Laodicea, and for as many as have not seen my face in the flesh;

فَإِنِّي أُرِيدُ أَنْ تَعْلَمُوا أَيُّ جِهَادٍ لِي لأَجْلِكُمْ، وَلأَجْلِ الَّذِينَ فِي لاَوُدِكِيَّةَ، وَجَمِيعِ الَّذِينَ لَمْ يَرَوْا وَجْهِي فِي الْجَسَدِ،

That their hearts might be comforted, being knit together in love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the acknowledgement of the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ;

لِكَيْ تَتَعَزَّى قُلُوبُهُمْ مُقْتَرِنَةً فِي الْمَحَبَّةِ لِكُلِّ غِنَى يَقِينِ الْفَهْمِ، لِمَعْرِفَةِ سِرِّ اللهِ الآبِ وَالْمَسِيحِ،

In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.

الْمُذَّخَرِ فِيهِ جَمِيعُ كُنُوزِ الْحِكْمَةِ وَالْعِلْمِ.

And this I say, lest any man should beguile you with enticing words.

وَإِنَّمَا أَقُولُ هذَا لِئَلاَّ يَخْدَعَكُمْ أَحَدٌ بِكَلاَمٍ مَلِق.

For though I be absent in the flesh, yet am I with you in the spirit, joying and beholding your order, and the stedfastness of your faith in Christ.

فَإِنِّي وَإِنْ كُنْتُ غَائِبًا فِي الْجَسَدِ لكِنِّي مَعَكُمْ فِي الرُّوحِ، فَرِحًا، وَنَاظِرًا تَرْتِيبَكُمْ وَمَتَانَةَ إِيمَانِكُمْ فِي الْمَسِيحِ.

As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him:

فَكَمَا قَبِلْتُمُ الْمَسِيحَ يَسُوعَ الرَّبَّ اسْلُكُوا فِيهِ،

Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving.

مُتَأَصِّلِينَ وَمَبْنِيِّينَ فِيهِ، وَمُوَطَّدِينَ فِي الإِيمَانِ، كَمَا عُلِّمْتُمْ، مُتَفَاضِلِينَ فِيهِ بِالشُّكْرِ.

Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.

اُنْظُرُوا أَنْ لاَ يَكُونَ أَحَدٌ يَسْبِيكُمْ بِالْفَلْسَفَةِ وَبِغُرُورٍ بَاطِل، حَسَبَ تَقْلِيدِ النَّاسِ، حَسَبَ أَرْكَانِ الْعَالَمِ، وَلَيْسَ حَسَبَ الْمَسِيحِ.

For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.

فَإِنَّهُ فِيهِ يَحِلُّ كُلُّ مِلْءِ اللاَّهُوتِ جَسَدِيًّا.

And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power:

وَأَنْتُمْ مَمْلُوؤُونَ فِيهِ، الَّذِي هُوَ رَأْسُ كُلِّ رِيَاسَةٍ وَسُلْطَانٍ.

In whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ:

وَبِهِ أَيْضًا خُتِنْتُمْ خِتَانًا غَيْرَ مَصْنُوعٍ بِيَدٍ، بِخَلْعِ جِسْمِ خَطَايَا الْبَشَرِيَّةِ، بِخِتَانِ الْمَسِيحِ.

Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead.

مَدْفُونِينَ مَعَهُ فِي الْمَعْمُودِيَّةِ، الَّتِي فِيهَا أُقِمْتُمْ أَيْضًا مَعَهُ بِإِيمَانِ عَمَلِ اللهِ، الَّذِي أَقَامَهُ مِنَ الأَمْوَاتِ.

And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses;

وَإِذْ كُنْتُمْ أَمْوَاتًا فِي الْخَطَايَا وَغَلَفِ جَسَدِكُمْ، أَحْيَاكُمْ مَعَهُ، مُسَامِحًا لَكُمْ بِجَمِيعِ الْخَطَايَا،

Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;

إِذْ مَحَا الصَّكَّ الَّذِي عَلَيْنَا فِي الْفَرَائِضِ، الَّذِي كَانَ ضِدًّا لَنَا، وَقَدْ رَفَعَهُ مِنَ الْوَسَطِ مُسَمِّرًا إِيَّاهُ بِالصَّلِيبِ،

And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it.

إِذْ جَرَّدَ الرِّيَاسَاتِ وَالسَّلاَطِينَ أَشْهَرَهُمْ جِهَارًا، ظَافِرًا بِهِمْ فِيهِ.

Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days:

فَلاَ يَحْكُمْ عَلَيْكُمْ أَحَدٌ فِي أَكْل أَوْ شُرْبٍ، أَوْ مِنْ جِهَةِ عِيدٍ أَوْ هِلاَل أَوْ سَبْتٍ،

Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ.

الَّتِي هِيَ ظِلُّ الأُمُورِ الْعَتِيدَةِ، وَأَمَّا الْجَسَدُ فَلِلْمَسِيحِ.

Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshipping of angels, intruding into those things which he hath not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind,

لاَ يُخَسِّرْكُمْ أَحَدٌ الْجِعَالَةَ، رَاغِبًا فِي التَّوَاضُعِ وَعِبَادَةِ الْمَلاَئِكَةِ، مُتَدَاخِلاً فِي مَا لَمْ يَنْظُرْهُ، مُنْتَفِخًا بَاطِلاً مِنْ قِبَلِ ذِهْنِهِ الْجَسَدِيِّ،

And not holding the Head, from which all the body by joints and bands having nourishment ministered, and knit together, increaseth with the increase of God.

وَغَيْرَ مُتَمَسِّكٍ بِالرَّأْسِ الَّذِي مِنْهُ كُلُّ الْجَسَدِ بِمَفَاصِلَ وَرُبُطٍ، مُتَوَازِرًا وَمُقْتَرِنًا يَنْمُو نُمُوًّا مِنَ اللهِ.

Wherefore if ye be dead with Christ from the rudiments of the world, why, as though living in the world, are ye subject to ordinances,

إِذًا إِنْ كُنْتُمْ قَدْ مُتُّمْ مَعَ الْمَسِيحِ عَنْ أَرْكَانِ الْعَالَمِ، فَلِمَاذَا كَأَنَّكُمْ عَائِشُونَ فِي الْعَالَمِ؟ تُفْرَضُ عَلَيْكُمْ فَرَائِضُ:

(Touch not; taste not; handle not;

«لاَ تَمَسَّ! وَلاَ تَذُقْ! وَلاَ تَجُسَّ!»

Which all are to perish with the using;) after the commandments and doctrines of men?

الَّتِي هِيَ جَمِيعُهَا لِلْفَنَاءِ فِي الاسْتِعْمَالِ، حَسَبَ وَصَايَا وَتَعَالِيمِ النَّاسِ،

Which things have indeed a shew of wisdom in will worship, and humility, and neglecting of the body; not in any honour to the satisfying of the flesh.

الَّتِي لَهَا حِكَايَةُ حِكْمَةٍ، بِعِبَادَةٍ نَافِلَةٍ، وَتَوَاضُعٍ، وَقَهْرِ الْجَسَدِ، لَيْسَ بِقِيمَةٍ مَا مِنْ جِهَةِ إِشْبَاعِ الْبَشَرِيَّةِ.
