1.Petrus 3 | الكتاب المقدس

الزوجات والأزواج

1 كَذَلِكَ، أَيَّتُهَا الزَّوْجَاتُ، اخْضَعْنَ لأَزْوَاجِكُنَّ. حَتَّى وَإِنْ كَانَ الزَّوْجُ غَيْرَ مُؤْمِنٍ بِالْكَلِمَةِ، تَجْذِبُهُ زَوْجَتُهُ إِلَى الإِيمَانِ، بِتَصَرُّفِهَا اللّائِقِ دُونَ كَلامٍ،

2 وَذَلِكَ حِينَ يُلاحِظُ سُلُوكَهَا الطَّاهِرَ وَوَقَارَهَا.

3 وَعَلَى الْمَرْأَةِ أَلّا تَتَزَيَّنَ بِالزِّينَةِ الْخَارِجِيَّةَ لإِظْهَارِ جَمَالِهَا، بِضَفْرِ الشَّعْرِ وَالتَّحَلِّي بِالذَّهَبِ وَلُبْسِ الثِّيَابِ الْفَاخِرَةِ.

4 وَإِنَّمَا تَتَزَيَّنُ بِالزِّينَةِ الدَّاخِلِيَّةَ، لِيَكُونَ قَلْبُهَا مُتَزَيِّناً بِرُوحِ الْوَدَاعَةِ وَالْهُدُوءِ. هَذِهِ هِيَ الزِّينَةُ الَّتِي لَا تَفْنَى، وَهِيَ غَالِيَةُ الثَّمَنِ فِي نَظَرِ اللهِ!

5 وَبِهَا كَانَتْ تَتَزَيَّنُ النِّسَاءُ التَّقِيَّاتُ قَدِيماً، فَكَانَتِ الْوَاحِدَةُ مِنْهُنَّ تَتَّكِلُ عَلَى اللهِ وَتَخْضَعُ لِزَوْجِهَا.

6 فَسَارَةُ، مَثَلاً، كَانَتْ تُطِيعُ زَوْجَهَا إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَتَدْعُوهُ «سَيِّدِي». وَالْمُؤْمِنَاتُ اللَّوَاتِي يَقْتَدِينَ بِها، يُثْبِتْنَ أَنَّهُنَّ بَنَاتٌ لَهَا، إِذْ يَتَصَرَّفْنَ تَصَرُّفاً صَالِحاً، فَلا يَخَفْنَ أَيَّ تَهْدِيدٍ.

7 وَأَنْتُمْ، أَيُّهَا الأَزْوَاجُ، إِذْ تُسَاكِنُونَ زَوْجَاتِكُمْ عَالِمِينَ بِأَنَّهُنَّ أَضْعَفُ مِنْكُمْ، أَكْرِمُوهُنَّ بِاعْتِبَارِهِنَّ شَرِيكَاتٍ لَكُمْ فِي وِرَاثَةِ نِعْمَةِ الْحَيَاةِ، لِكَيْ لَا يَعُوقَ صَلَوَاتِكُمْ شَيْءٌ.

احتمال الآلام في سبيل البر

8 وَالْخُلاصَةُ، كُونُوا جَمِيعاً مُتَّحِدِينَ فِي الرَّأْيِ، مُتَعَاطِفِينَ بَعْضُكُمْ مَعَ بَعْضٍ، مُبَادِلِينَ أَحَدُكُمُ الآخَرَ الْمَحَبَّةَ الأَخَوِيَّةَ، شَفُوقِينَ، مُتَوَاضِعِينَ.

9 لَا تُبَادِلُوا الشَّرَّ بِشَرٍّ، وَلا الشَّتِيمَةَ بِشَتِيمَةٍ. بَلْ بِالْعَكْسِ: بَارِكُوا، فَتَرِثُوا الْبَرَكَةَ، لأَنَّهُ لِهَذَا دَعَاكُمُ اللهُ.

10 فَمَنْ أَرَادَ أَنْ يَتَمَتَّعَ بِحَيَاةٍ سَعِيدَةٍ وَأَيَّامٍ طَيِّبَةٍ، فَلْيَمْنَعْ لِسَانَهُ عَنِ الشَّرِّ وَشَفَتَيْهِ عَنْ كَلامِ الْغِشِّ.

11 لِيَتَحَوَّلْ عَنِ الشَّرِّ وَيَفْعَلِ الْخَيْرَ. لِيَطْلُبِ السَّلامَ وَيَسْعَ لِلْوُصُولِ إِلَيْهِ.

12 لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ يَرْعَى الأَبْرَارَ بِعِنَايَتِهِ، وَيَسْتَجِيبُ إِلَى دُعَائِهِمْ. وَلكِنَّهُ يَقِفُ ضِدَّ الَّذِينَ يَعْمَلُونَ الشَّرَّ.

13 مَنْ يُؤْذِيكُمْ إِنْ كُنْتُمْ مُتَحَمِّسِينَ لِلْخَيْرِ؟

14 وَإِنْ كَانَ لابُدَّ أَنْ تَتَأَلَّمُوا فِي سَبِيلِ الْبِرِّ، فَطُوبَى لَكُمْ! لَا تَخَافُوا مِنْ تَهْدِيدِ الَّذِينَ يَضْطَهِدُونَكُمْ، وَلا تَقْلَقُوا.

15 وَإِنَّمَا كَرِّسُوا الْمَسِيحَ رَبّاً فِي قُلُوبِكُمْ. وَكُونُوا دَائِماً مُسْتَعِدِّينَ لأَنْ تُقَدِّمُوا جَوَاباً مُقْنِعاً لِكُلِّ مَنْ يَسْأَلُكُمْ عَنْ سَبَبِ الرَّجَاءِ الَّذِي فِي دَاخِلِكُمْ

16 عَلَى أَنْ تَفْعَلُوا ذَلِكَ بِوَدَاعَةٍ وَاحْتِرَامٍ، مُحَافِظِينَ عَلَى طَهَارَةِ ضَمَائِرِكُمْ، سَالِكِينَ فِي الْمَسِيحِ سُلُوكاً صَالِحاً، وَعِنْدَئِذٍ يَخِيبُ الَّذِينَ يُوَجِّهُونَ إِلَيْكُمُ التُّهَمَ الْكَاذِبَةَ ويَشْتُمُونَكُمْ كَأَنَّكُمْ تَفْعَلُونَ شَرّاً.

17 فَإِنْ كَانَ اللهُ يُرِيدُ لَكُمْ أَنْ تَتَأَلَّمُوا، فَمِنَ الأَفْضَلِ أَنْ تَتَأَلَّمُوا وَأَنْتُمْ تَفْعَلُونَ الْخَيْرَ لَا الشَّرَّ.

18 فَإِنَّ الْمَسِيحَ نَفْسَهُ مَاتَ مَرَّةً وَاحِدَةً لِكَيْ يَحُلَّ مُشْكِلَةَ الْخَطَايَا. فَمَعَ أَنَّهُ هُوَ البَارُّ، فَقَدْ تَأَلَّمَ مِنْ أَجْلِنَا نَحْنُ الْمُذْنِبِينَ، لِكَيْ يُقَرِّبَنَا إِلَى اللهِ، فَمَاتَ بِجِسْمِهِ الْبَشَرِيِّ، ثُمَّ عَادَ حَيًّا بِالرُّوحِ.

19 بِهَذَا الرُّوحِ نَفْسِهِ، ذَهَبَ وَبَشَّرَ الأَرْوَاحَ السَّجِينَةَ.

20 وَذَلِكَ بَعْدَمَا رَفَضُوا الْبِشَارَةَ فِي أَيَّامِ نُوحٍ، عِنْدَمَا كَانَ اللهُ يَتَأَنَّى صَابِراً طَوَالَ المُدَّةِ الَّتِي كَانَ نُوحٌ يَبْنِي فِيهَا السَّفِينَةَ، الَّتِي نَجَا بِها عَدَدٌ قَلِيلٌ مِنَ النَّاسِ عَبْرَ الْمَاءِ، ثَمَانِيَةُ أَشْخَاصٍ فَقَطْ!

21 وَعَمَلِيَّةُ النَّجَاةِ هَذِهِ مُصَوَّرَةٌ فِي الْمَعْمُودِيَّةِ الَّتِي لَا نَقْصِدُ بِها أَنْ نَغْتَسِلَ مِنْ أَوْسَاخِ أَجْسَامِنَا، بَلْ هِيَ تَعَهُّدُ ضَمِيرٍ صَالِحٍ أَمَامَ اللهِ بِفَضْلِ قِيَامَةِ يَسُوعَ الْمَسِيحِ،

22 الَّذِي انْطَلَقَ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ، وَهُوَ الآنَ جَالِسٌ عَنْ يَمِينِ اللهِ؛ وَقَدْ جُعِلَتِ الْمَلائِكَةُ وَالسُّلُطَاتُ وَالْقُوَّاتُ (الرُّوحِيَّةُ) خَاضِعَةً لَهُ!

English Standard Version

Wives and Husbands

1 Likewise, wives, be subject to your own husbands, so that even if some do not obey the word, they may be won without a word by the conduct of their wives,

2 when they see your respectful and pure conduct.

3 Do not let your adorning be external—the braiding of hair and the putting on of gold jewelry, or the clothing you wear—

4 but let your adorning be the hidden person of the heart with the imperishable beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which in God’s sight is very precious.

5 For this is how the holy women who hoped in God used to adorn themselves, by submitting to their own husbands,

6 as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord. And you are her children, if you do good and do not fear anything that is frightening.

7 Likewise, husbands, live with your wives in an understanding way, showing honor to the woman as the weaker vessel, since they are heirs with you* of the grace of life, so that your prayers may not be hindered.

Suffering for Righteousness’ Sake

8 Finally, all of you, have unity of mind, sympathy, brotherly love, a tender heart, and a humble mind.

9 Do not repay evil for evil or reviling for reviling, but on the contrary, bless, for to this you were called, that you may obtain a blessing.

10 For “Whoever desires to love life and see good days, let him keep his tongue from evil and his lips from speaking deceit;

11 let him turn away from evil and do good; let him seek peace and pursue it.

12 For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous, and his ears are open to their prayer. But the face of the Lord is against those who do evil.”

13 Now who is there to harm you if you are zealous for what is good?

14 But even if you should suffer for righteousness’ sake, you will be blessed. Have no fear of them, nor be troubled,

15 but in your hearts honor Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and respect,

16 having a good conscience, so that, when you are slandered, those who revile your good behavior in Christ may be put to shame.

17 For it is better to suffer for doing good, if that should be God’s will, than for doing evil.

18 For Christ also suffered* once for sins, the righteous for the unrighteous, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh but made alive in the spirit,

19 in which* he went and proclaimed* to the spirits in prison,

20 because* they formerly did not obey, when God’s patience waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was being prepared, in which a few, that is, eight persons, were brought safely through water.

21 Baptism, which corresponds to this, now saves you, not as a removal of dirt from the body but as an appeal to God for a good conscience, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ,

22 who has gone into heaven and is at the right hand of God, with angels, authorities, and powers having been subjected to him.
