Prima lettera ai Corinzi (1 كورنثوس) 7

SMITH VAN DYKE	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 واما من جهة الامور التي كتبتم لي عنها فحسن للرجل ان لا يمسّ امرأة.	1 Now concerning the things about which you wrote to me: It is good for a man not to touch a woman.
2 ولكن لسبب الزنى ليكن لكل واحد امرأته وليكن لكل واحدة رجلها.	2 But, because of fornication, let each man have his own wife, and let each woman have her own husband.
3 ليوف الرجل المرأة حقها الواجب وكذلك المرأة ايضا الرجل.	3 A husband should fulfill his obligation to his wife, and a wife should also act similarly toward her husband.
4 ليس للمرأة تسلط على جسدها بل للرجل. وكذلك الرجل ايضا ليس له تسلط على جسده بل للمرأة.	4 It is not the wife, but the husband, who has power over her body. But, similarly also, it is not the husband, but the wife, who has power over his body.
5 لا يسلب احدكم الآخر الا ان يكون على موافقة الى حين لكي تتفرغوا للصوم والصلاة ثم تجتمعوا ايضا معا لكي لا يجربكم الشيطان لسبب عدم نزاهتكم.	5 So, do not fail in your obligations to one another, except perhaps by consent, for a limited time, so that you may empty yourselves for prayer. And then, return together again, lest Satan tempt you by means of your abstinence.
6 ولكن اقول هذا على سبيل الاذن لا على سبيل الامر.	6 But I am saying this, neither as an indulgence, nor as a commandment.
7 لاني اريد ان يكون جميع الناس كما انا. لكن كل واحد له موهبته الخاصة من الله. الواحد هكذا والآخر هكذا	7 For I would prefer it if you were all like myself. But each person has his proper gift from God: one in this way, yet another in that way.
8 ولكن اقول لغير المتزوجين وللارامل انه حسن لهم اذا لبثوا كما انا.	8 But I say to the unmarried and to widows: It is good for them, if they would remain as they are, just as I also am.
9 ولكن ان لم يضبطوا انفسهم فليتزوجوا. لان التزوج اصلح من التحرق.	9 But if they cannot restrain themselves, they should marry. For it is better to marry, than to be burned.
10 واما المتزوجون فاوصيهم لا انا بل الرب ان لا تفارق المرأة رجلها.	10 But to those who have been joined in matrimony, it is not I who commands you, but the Lord: a wife is not to separate from her husband.
11 وان فارقته فلتلبث غير متزوجة او لتصالح رجلها. ولا يترك الرجل امرأته.	11 But if she has separated from him, she must remain unmarried, or be reconciled to her husband. And a husband should not divorce his wife.
12 واما الباقون فاقول لهم انا لا الرب ان كان اخ له امرأة غير مؤمنة وهي ترتضي ان تسكن معه فلا يتركها.	12 Concerning the rest, I am speaking, not the Lord. If any brother has an unbelieving wife, and she consents to live with him, he should not divorce her.
13 والمرأة التي لها رجل غير مؤمن وهو يرتضي ان يسكن معها فلا تتركه.	13 And if any woman has an unbelieving husband, and he consents to live with her, she should not divorce her husband.
14 لان الرجل غير المؤمن مقدس في المرأة والمرأة غير المؤمنة مقدسة في الرجل. وإلا فاولادكم نجسون. واما الآن فهم مقدسون.	14 For the unbelieving husband has been sanctified through the believing wife, and the unbelieving wife has been sanctified through the believing husband. Otherwise, your children would be unclean, whereas instead they are holy.
15 ولكن ان فارق غير المؤمن فليفارق. ليس الاخ او الاخت مستعبدا في مثل هذه الاحوال. ولكن الله قد دعانا في السلام.	15 But if the unbeliever departs, let him depart. For a brother or sister cannot be made subject to servitude in this way. For God has called us to peace.
16 لانه كيف تعلمين ايتها المرأة هل تخلّصين الرجل. او كيف تعلم ايها الرجل هل تخلّص المرأة.	16 And how do you know, wife, whether you will save your husband? Or how do you know, husband, whether you will save your wife?
17 غير انه كما قسم الله لكل واحد كما دعا الرب كل واحد هكذا ليسلك وهكذا انا آمر في جميع الكنائس.	17 However, let each one walk just as the Lord has distributed to him, each one just as God has called him. And thus do I teach in all the churches.
18 دعي احد وهو مختون فلا يصر اغلف. دعي احد في الغرلة فلا يختتن.	18 Has any circumcised man been called? Let him not cover his circumcision. Has any uncircumcised man been called? Let him not be circumcised.
19 ليس الختان شيئا وليست الغرلة شيئا بل حفظ وصايا الله.	19 Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing; there is only the observance of the commandments of God.
20 الدعوة التي دعي فيها كل واحد فليلبث فيها.	20 Let each and every one remain in the same calling to which he was called.
21 دعيت وانت عبد فلا يهمك. بل وان استطعت ان تصير حرا فاستعملها بالحري.	21 Are you a servant who has been called? Do not be concerned about it. But if you ever have the ability to be free, make use of it.
22 لان من دعي في الرب وهو عبد فهو عتيق الرب. كذلك ايضا الحرّ المدعو هو عبد للمسيح.	22 For any servant who has been called in the Lord is free in the Lord. Similarly, any free person who has been called is a servant in Christ.
23 قد اشتريتم بثمن فلا تصيروا عبيدا للناس.	23 You have been bought with a price. Do not be willing to become the servants of men.
24 ما دعي كل واحد فيه ايها الاخوة فليلبث في ذلك مع الله	24 Brothers, let each one, in whatever state he was called, remain in that state with God.
25 واما العذارى فليس عندي امر من الرب فيهنّ ولكنني اعطي رأيا كمن رحمه الرب ان يكون امينا.	25 Now, concerning virgins, I have no commandment from the Lord. But I give counsel, as one who has obtained the mercy of the Lord, so as to be faithful.
26 فاظن ان هذا حسن لسبب الضيق الحاضر انه حسن للانسان ان يكون هكذا.	26 Therefore, I consider this to be good, because of the present necessity: that it is good for a man to be such as I am.
27 انت مرتبط بامرأة فلا تطلب الانفصال. انت منفصل عن امرأة فلا تطلب امرأة.	27 Are you bound to a wife? Do not seek to be freed. Are you free of a wife? Do not seek a wife.
28 لكنك وان تزوجت لم تخطئ. وان تزوجت العذراء لم تخطئ. ولكن مثل هؤلاء يكون لهم ضيق في الجسد. واما انا فاني اشفق عليكم.	28 But if you take a wife, you have not sinned. And if a virgin has married, she has not sinned. Even so, such as these will have the tribulation of the flesh. But I would spare you from this.
29 فاقول هذا ايها الاخوة الوقت منذ الآن مقصّر لكي يكون الذين لهم نساء كأن ليس لهم.	29 And so, this is what I say, brothers: The time is short. What remains of it is such that: those who have wives should be as if they had none;
30 والذين يبكون كأنهم لا يبكون والذين يفرحون كأنهم لا يفرحون والذين يشترون كأنهم لا يملكون.	30 and those who weep, as though they were not weeping; and those who rejoice, as if they were not rejoicing; and those who buy, as if they possessed nothing;
31 والذين يستعملون هذا العالم كانهم لا يستعملونه. لان هيئة هذا العالم تزول.	31 and those who use the things of this world, as if they were not using them. For the figure of this world is passing away.
32 فاريد ان تكونوا بلا هم. غير المتزوج يهتم في ما للرب كيف يرضي الرب.	32 But I would prefer you to be without worry. Whoever is without a wife is worried about the things of the Lord, as to how he may please God.
33 واما المتزوج فيهتم في ما للعالم كيف يرضي امرأته.	33 But whoever is with a wife is worried about the things of the world, as to how he may please his wife. And so, he is divided.
34 ان بين الزوجة والعذراء فرقا. غير المتزوجة تهتم في ما للرب لتكون مقدسة جسدا وروحا. واما المتزوجة فتهتم في ما للعالم كيف ترضي رجلها	34 And the unmarried woman and the virgin think about the things that are of the Lord, so that she may be holy in body and in spirit. But she who is married thinks about the things that are of the world, as to how she may please her husband.
35 هذا اقوله لخيركم ليس لكي ألقي عليكم وهقا بل لاجل اللياقة والمثابرة للرب من دون ارتباك.	35 Furthermore, I am saying this for your own benefit, not in order to cast a snare over you, but toward whatever is honest and whatever may provide you with the ability to be without hindrance, so as to worship the Lord.
36 ولكن ان كان احد يظن انه يعمل بدون لياقة نحو عذرائه اذا تجاوزت الوقت وهكذا لزم ان يصير فليفعل ما يريد. انه لا يخطئ. فليتزوجا.	36 But if any man considers himself to seem dishonorable, concerning a virgin who is of adult age, and so it ought to be, he may do as he wills. If he marries her, he does not sin.
37 واما من اقام راسخا في قلبه وليس له اضطرار بل له سلطان على ارادته وقد عزم على هذا في قلبه ان يحفظ عذراءه فحسنا يفعل.	37 But if he has decided firmly in his heart, and he does not have any obligation, but only the power of his free will, and if he has judged this in his heart, to let her remain a virgin, he does well.
38 اذا من زوج فحسنا يفعل ومن لا يزوج يفعل احسن.	38 And so, he who joins with his virgin in matrimony does well, and he who does not join with her does better.
39 المرأة مرتبطة بالناموس ما دام رجلها حيّا. ولكن ان مات رجلها فهي حرّة لكي تتزوج بمن تريد في الرب فقط.	39 A woman is bound under the law for as long as her husband lives. But if her husband has died, she is free. She may marry whomever she wishes, but only in the Lord.
40 ولكنها اكثر غبطة ان لبثت هكذا بحسب رأيي. واظن اني انا ايضا عندي روح الله	40 But she will be more blessed, if she remains in this state, in accord with my counsel. And I think that I, too, have the Spirit of God.
