Prima lettera a Timoteo (1 تيموثاوس) 5

SMITH VAN DYKE	NEW JERUSALEM
1 لا تزجر شيخا بل عظه كأب والاحداث كاخوة	1 Never speak sharply to a man older than yourself, but appeal to him as you would to your own father;treat younger men as brothers,
2 والعجائز كامّهات والحدثات كاخوات بكل طهارة	2 older women as mothers and young women as sisters with al propriety.
3 اكرم الارامل اللواتي هنّ بالحقيقة ارامل.	3 Be considerate to widows -- if they real y are widowed.
4 ولكن ان كانت ارملة لها اولاد او حفدة فليتعلّموا اولا ان يوقّروا اهل بيتهم ويوفوا والديهم المكافاة. لان هذا صالح ومقبول امام الله.	4 If a widow has children or grandchildren, they are to learn first of al to do their duty to their own familiesand repay their debt to their parents, because this is what pleases God.
5 ولكن التي هي بالحقيقة ارملة ووحيدة فقد ألقت رجاءها على الله وهي تواظب الطلبات والصلوات ليلا ونهارا.	5 But a woman who is real y widowed and left on her own has set her hope on God and perseveres nightand day in petitions and prayer.
6 واما المتنعمة فقد ماتت وهي حية.	6 The one who thinks only of pleasure is already dead while she is stil alive:
7 فأوص بهذا لكي يكنّ بلا لوم.	7 instruct them in this, too, so that their lives may be blameless.
8 وان كان احد لا يعتني بخاصته ولا سيما اهل بيته فقد انكر الايمان وهو شر من غير المؤمن.	8 Anyone who does not look after his own relations, especial y if they are living with him, has rejected thefaith and is worse than an unbeliever.
9 لتكتتب ارملة ان لم يكن عمرها اقل من ستين سنة امرأة رجل واحد	9 Enrolment as a widow is permissible only for a woman at least sixty years old who has had only onehusband.
10 مشهودا لها في اعمال صالحة ان تكن قد ربّت الاولاد اضافت الغرباء غسلت ارجل القديسين ساعدت المتضايقين اتبعت كل عمل صالح.	10 She must be a woman known for her good works -- whether she has brought up her children, beenhospitable to strangers and washed the feet of God's holy people, helped people in hardship or been active in allkinds of good work.
11 اما الارامل الحدثات فارفضهنّ لانهنّ متى بطرن على المسيح يردن ان يتزوجن.	11 Do not accept young widows because if their natural desires distract them from Christ, they want tomarry again,
12 ولهنّ دينونة لانهنّ رفضنّ الايمان الاول.	12 and then people condemn them for being unfaithful to their original promise.
13 ومع ذلك ايضا يتعلمن ان يكنّ بطالات يطفن في البيوت ولسن بطالات فقط بل مهذارات ايضا وفضوليات يتكلمن بما لا يجب.	13 Besides, they learn how to be idle and go round from house to house; and then, not merely idle, theylearn to be gossips and meddlers in other people's affairs and to say what should remain unsaid.
14 فاريد ان الحدثات يتزوجن ويلدن الاولاد ويدبّرن البيوت ولا يعطين علة للمقاوم من اجل الشتم.	14 I think it is best for young widows to marry again and have children and a household to look after, andnot give the enemy any chance to raise a scandal about them;
15 فان بعضهنّ قد انحرفن وراء الشيطان.	15 there are already some who have turned aside to fol ow Satan.
16 ان كان لمؤمن او مؤمنة ارامل فليساعدهنّ ولا يثقّل على الكنيسة لكي تساعد هي اللواتي هنّ بالحقيقة ارامل	16 If a woman believer has widowed relatives, she should support them and not make the Church bear theexpense but enable it to support those who are real y widowed.
17 اما الشيوخ المدبرون حسنا فليحسبوا اهلا لكرامة مضاعفة ولا سيما الذين يتعبون في الكلمة والتعليم.	17 Elders who do their work wel while they are in charge earn double reward, especial y those who workhard at preaching and teaching.
18 لان الكتاب يقول لا تكمّ ثورا دارسا. والفاعل مستحق اجرته	18 As scripture says: You must not muzzle an ox when it is treading out the corn; and again: The workerdeserves his wages.
19 لا تقبل شكاية على شيخ الا على شاهدين او ثلاثة شهود.	19 Never accept any accusation brought against an elder unless it is supported by two or three witnesses.
20 الذين يخطئون وبّخهم امام الجميع لكي يكون عند الباقين خوف.	20 If anyone is at fault, reprimand him publicly, as a warning to the rest.
21 اناشدك امام الله والرب يسوع المسيح والملائكة المختارين ان تحفظ هذا بدون غرض ولا تعمل شيئا بمحاباة.	21 Before God, and before Jesus Christ and the angels he has chosen, I charge you to keep these rulesimpartial y and never to be influenced by favouritism.
22 لا تضع يدا على احد بالعجلة ولا تشترك في خطايا الآخرين. احفظ نفسك طاهرا	22 Do not be too quick to lay hands on anyone, and never make yourself an accomplice in anybody else'ssin; keep yourself pure.
23 لا تكن في ما بعد شراب ماء بل استعمل خمرا قليلا من اجل معدتك واسقامك الكثيرة	23 You should give up drinking only water and have a little wine for the sake of your digestion and thefrequent bouts of illness that you have.
24 خطايا بعض الناس واضحة تتقدم الى القضاء. واما البعض فتتبعهم.	24 The faults of some people are obvious long before they come to the reckoning, while others have faultsthat are not discovered until later.
25 كذلك ايضا الاعمال الصالحة واضحة والتي هي خلاف ذلك لا يمكن ان تخفى	25 Similarly, the good that people do can be obvious; but even when it is not, it cannot remain hidden.
