Lettera ai Colossesi (كولوسي) 2

SMITH VAN DYKE	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 فاني اريد ان تعلموا اي جهاد لي لاجلكم ولاجل الذين في لاودكية وجميع الذين لم يروا وجهي في الجسد	1 For I want you to know the kind of solicitude that I have for you, and for those who are at Laodicea, as well as for those who have not seen my face in the flesh.
2 لكي تتعزى قلوبهم مقترنة في المحبة لكل غنى يقين الفهم لمعرفة سرّ الله الآب والمسيح	2 May their hearts be consoled and instructed in charity, with all the riches of a plenitude of understanding, with knowledge of the mystery of God the Father and of Christ Jesus.
3 المذّخر فيه جميع كنوز الحكمة والعلم.	3 For in him are hidden all treasures of wisdom and knowledge.
4 وانما اقول هذا لئلا يخدعكم احد بكلام ملق.	4 Now I say this, so that no one may deceive you with grandiose words.
5 فاني وان كنت غائبا في الجسد لكني معكم في الروح فرحا وناظرا ترتيبكم ومتانة ايمانكم في المسيح.	5 For though I may be absent in body, yet I am with you in spirit. And I rejoice as I gaze upon your order and its foundation, which is in Christ, your faith.
6 فكما قبلتم المسيح يسوع الرب اسلكوا فيه	6 Therefore, just as you have received the Lord Jesus Christ, walk in him.
7 متأصلين ومبنيين فيه وموطدين في الايمان كما علّمتم متفاضلين فيه بالشكر.	7 Be rooted and continually built up in Christ. And be confirmed in the faith, just as you have also learned it, increasing in him with acts of thanksgiving.
8 انظروا ان لا يكون احد يسبيكم بالفلسفة وبغرور باطل حسب تقليد الناس حسب اركان العالم وليس حسب المسيح.	8 See to it that no one deceives you through philosophy and empty falsehoods, as found in the traditions of men, in accord with the influences of the world, and not in accord with Christ.
9 فانه فيه يحل كل ملء اللاهوت جسديا.	9 For in him, all the fullness of the Divine Nature dwells bodily.
10 وانتم مملوؤون فيه الذي هو راس كل رياسة وسلطان.	10 And in him, you have been filled; for he is the head of all principality and power.
11 وبه ايضا ختنتم ختانا غير مصنوع بيد بخلع جسم خطايا البشرية بختان المسيح.	11 In him also, you have been circumcised with a circumcision not made by hand, not by the despoiling of the body of flesh, but by the circumcision of Christ.
12 مدفونين معه في المعمودية التي فيها اقمتم ايضا معه بايمان عمل الله الذي اقامه من الاموات.	12 You have been buried with him in baptism. In him also, you have risen again through faith, by the work of God, who raised him up from the dead.
13 واذ كنتم امواتا في الخطايا وغلف جسدكم احياكم معه مسامحا لكم بجميع الخطايا.	13 And when you were dead in your transgressions and in the uncircumcision of your flesh, he enlivened you, together with him, forgiving you of all transgressions,
14 اذ محا الصك الذي علينا في الفرائض الذي كان ضدا لنا وقد رفعه من الوسط مسمرا اياه بالصليب.	14 and wiping away the handwriting of the decree which was against us, which was contrary to us. And he has taken this away from your midst, affixing it to the Cross.
15 اذ جرد الرياسات والسلاطين اشهرهم جهارا ظافرا بهم فيه	15 And so, despoiling principalities and powers, he has led them away confidently and openly, triumphing over them in himself.
16 فلا يحكم عليكم احد في اكل او شرب او من جهة عيد او هلال او سبت	16 Therefore, let no one judge you as concerns food or drink, or a particular feast day, or feast days of new moons, or of Sabbaths.
17 التي هي ظل الامور العتيدة اما الجسد فللمسيح.	17 For these are a shadow of the future, but the body is of Christ.
18 لا يخسركم احد الجعالة راغبا في التواضع وعبادة الملائكة متداخلا في ما لم ينظره منتفخا باطلا من قبل ذهنه الجسدي	18 Let no one seduce you, preferring base things and a religion of Angels, walking according to what he has not seen, being vainly inflated by the sensations of his flesh,
19 وغير متمسك بالراس الذي منه كل الجسد بمفاصل وربط متوازرا ومقترنا ينمو نموا من الله	19 and not holding up the head, with which the whole body, by its underlying joints and ligaments, is joined together and grows with an increase that is of God.
20 اذا ان كنتم قد متم مع المسيح عن اركان العالم فلماذا كانكم عائشون في العالم تفرض عليكم فرائض	20 So then, if you have died with Christ to the influences of this world, why do you still make decisions as if you were living in the world?
21 لا تمسّ ولا تذق ولا تجس.	21 Do not touch, do not taste, do not handle these things,
22 التي هي جميعها للفناء في الاستعمال حسب وصايا وتعاليم الناس.	22 which all lead to destruction by their very use, in accord with the precepts and doctrines of men.
23 التي لها حكاية حكمة بعبادة نافلة وتواضع وقهر الجسد ليس بقيمة ما من جهة اشباع البشرية	23 Such ideas have at least an intention to attain to wisdom, but through superstition and debasement, not sparing the body, and they are without any honor in satiating the flesh.
