1.Timotheus 1 | الكتاب المقدس

1 مِنْ بُولُسَ، رَسُولِ الْمَسِيحِ يَسُوعَ وَفْقاً لأَمْرِ اللهِ مُخَلِّصِنَا وَالْمَسِيحِ يَسُوعَ رَجَائِنَا، 2 إِلَى تِيمُوثَاوُسَ وَلَدِي الْحَقِيقِيِّ فِي الإِيمَانِ. لِتَكُنْ لَكَ النِّعْمَةُ وَالرَّحْمَةُ وَالسَّلامُ مِنَ اللهِ أَبِينَا وَالْمَسِيحِ يَسُوعَ رَبِّنَا!

تحذير من المعلمين الكذبة

3 كَمَا أَوْصَيْتُكَ لَمَّا كُنْتُ مُنْطَلِقاً إِلَى مُقَاطَعَةِ مَقِدُونِيَّةَ، (أَطْلُبُ إِلَيْكَ) أَنْ تَبْقَى فِي مَدِينَةِ أَفَسُسَ، لِكَيْ تَمْنَعَ بَعْضَ الْمُعَلِّمِينَ مِنْ نَشْرِ التَّعَالِيمِ الْمُخَالِفَةِ لِلتَّعْلِيمِ الصَّحِيحِ، 4 وَتُوصِيَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ أَلَّا يَنْشَغِلُوا بِالأَسَاطِيرِ وَسَلاسِلِ النَّسَبِ الْمُتَشَابِكَةِ. فَتِلْكَ الأُمُورُ تُثِيرُ الْمُجَادَلاتِ وَلا تَعْمَلُ عَلَى تَقَدُّمِ تَدْبِيرِ اللهِ الْقَائِمِ عَلَى الإِيمَانِ. 5 أَمَّا الْغَايَةُ مِمَّا أَوْصَيْتُكَ بِهِ، فَهِيَ الْمَحَبَّةُ النَّابِعَةُ مِنْ قَلْبٍ طَاهِرٍ وَضَمِيرٍ صَالِحٍ وَإِيمَانٍ خَالٍ مِنَ الرِّيَاءِ. 6 هَذِهِ الْفَضَائِلُ قَدْ زَاغَ عَنْهَا بَعْضُهُمْ، فَانْحَرَفُوا إِلَى الْمُجَادَلاتِ الْبَاطِلَةِ، 7 رَاغِبِينَ فِي أَنْ يَكُونُوا أَسَاتِذَةً فِي الشَّرِيعَةِ، وَهُمْ لَا يَفْهَمُونَ مَا يَقُولُونَ وَلا مَا يُقَرِّرُونَ! 8 إِنَّنَا نَعْلَمُ أَنَّ الشَّرِيعَةَ جَيِّدَةٌ فِي ذَاتِهَا، إِذَا اسْتُعْمِلَتِ اسْتِعْمَالاً شَرْعِيًّا. 9 إِذْ نُدْرِكُ أَنَّ الشَّرِيعَةَ لَا تُوضَعُ لِمَنْ كَانَ بَارّاً، بَلْ لِلأَشْرَارِ وَالْمُتَمَرِّدِينَ، وَالْفَاجِرِينَ وَالْخَاطِئِينَ، وَالنَّجِسِينَ وَالدَّنِسِينَ، وَقَاتِلِي آبَائِهِمْ وَأُمَّهَاتِهِمْ، وَقَاتِلِي النَّاسِ، 10 وَالزُّنَاةِ وَمُضَاجِعِي الذُّكُورِ، وَخَطَّافِي النَّاسِ وَالْكَذَّابِينَ وَشَاهِدِي الزُّورِ. وَذَوِي كُلِّ شَرٍّ آخَرَ يُخَالِفُ التَّعْلِيمَ الصَّحِيحَ 11 الْمُوَافِقَ لإِنْجِيلِ مَجْدِ اللهِ الْمُبَارَكِ، ذَلِكَ الإِنْجِيلِ الَّذِي وُضِعَ أَمَانَةً بَيْنَ يَدَيَّ.

نعمة الرب لبولس

12 وَكَمْ أَشْكُرُ الْمَسِيحَ يَسُوعَ رَبَّنَا الَّذِي أَعْطَانِي الْقُدْرَةَ وَعَيَّنَنِي خَادِماً لَهُ، إِذِ اعْتَبَرَنِي جَدِيراً بِثِقَتِهِ، 13 مَعَ أَنِّي كُنْتُ فِي الْمَاضِي مُجَدِّفاً عَلَيْهِ، وَمُضْطَهِداً وَمُهِيناً لَهُ! وَلَكِنِّي عُومِلْتُ بِالرَّحْمَةِ، لأَنِّي عَمِلْتُ مَا عَمِلْتُهُ عَنْ جَهْلٍ وَفِي عَدَمِ إِيمَانٍ. 14 إِلَّا أَنَّ نِعْمَةَ رَبِّنَا قَدْ فَاضَتْ عَلَيَّ فَوْقَ كُلِّ حَدٍّ، وَمَعَهَا الإِيمَانُ وَالْمَحَبَّةُ، وَذَلِكَ فِي الْمَسِيحِ يَسُوعَ. 15 مَا أَصْدَقَ هَذَا الْقَوْلَ، وَمَا أَجْدَرَهُ بِالتَّصْدِيقِ الْكُلِّيِّ: إِنَّ الْمَسِيحَ يَسُوعَ قَدْ جَاءَ إِلَى الْعَالَمِ لِيُخَلِّصَ الْخَاطِئِينَ، وَأَنَا أَوَّلُهُمْ! 16 وَلَكِنْ لِهَذَا السَّبَبِ عُومِلْتُ بِالرَّحْمَةِ، لِيَجْعَلَ يَسُوعُ الْمَسِيحُ مِنِّي، أَنَا أَوَّلاً، مِثَالاً يُظْهِرُ صَبْرَهُ الطَّوِيلَ، لِجَمِيعِ الَّذِينَ سَيُؤْمِنُونَ بِهِ لِنَوَالِ الْحَيَاةِ الأَبَدِيَّةِ. 17 فَلِلْمَلِكِ الأَزَلِيِّ، اللهِ الْوَاحِدِ غَيْرِ الْمَنْظُورِ وَغَيْرِ الْفَانِي، الْكَرَامَةُ وَالْمَجْدُ إِلَى أَبَدِ الآبِدِينَ. آمِين!

مسؤولية تيموثاوس

18 هذِهِ التَّوْصِيَاتُ، يَا تِيمُوثَاوُسُ وَلَدِي، أُسَلِّمُهَا لَكَ، بِمُقْتَضَى النُّبُوآتِ السَّابِقَةِ الْمُخْتَصَّةِ بِكَ، وَغَايَتِي أَنْ تُحْسِنَ الْجِهَادَ فِي حَرْبِكَ الرُّوحِيَّةِ، 19 مُتَمَسِّكاً بِالإِيمَانِ، وَبِالضَّمِيرِ الصَّالِحِ، هَذَا الضَّمِيرِ الَّذِي تَخَلَّى عَنْهُ بَعْضُهُمْ، فَانْكَسَرَتْ بِهِمْ سَفِينَةُ الإِيمَانِ. 20 وَمِنْ هؤُلاءِ هِمِنَايُوسُ وَإِسْكَنْدَرُ، وَقَدْ سَلَّمْتُهُمَا إِلَى الشَّيْطَانِ لِيتَعَلَّمَا بِالتَّأْدِيبِ أَلَّا يُجَدِّفَا.

New International Version

1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the command of God our Saviour and of Christ Jesus our hope, 2 To Timothy my true son in the faith: Grace, mercy and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.

Timothy charged to oppose false teachers

3 As I urged you when I went into Macedonia, stay there in Ephesus so that you may command certain people not to teach false doctrines any longer 4 or to devote themselves to myths and endless genealogies. Such things promote controversial speculations rather than advancing God’s work – which is by faith. 5 The goal of this command is love, which comes from a pure heart and a good conscience and a sincere faith. 6 Some have departed from these and have turned to meaningless talk. 7 They want to be teachers of the law, but they do not know what they are talking about or what they so confidently affirm. 8 We know that the law is good if one uses it properly. 9 We also know that the law is made not for the righteous but for lawbreakers and rebels, the ungodly and sinful, the unholy and irreligious, for those who kill their fathers or mothers, for murderers, 10 for the sexually immoral, for those practising homosexuality, for slave traders and liars and perjurers – and for whatever else is contrary to the sound doctrine 11 that conforms to the gospel concerning the glory of the blessed God, which he entrusted to me.

The Lord’s grace to Paul

12 I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who has given me strength, that he considered me trustworthy, appointing me to his service. 13 Even though I was once a blasphemer and a persecutor and a violent man, I was shown mercy because I acted in ignorance and unbelief. 14 The grace of our Lord was poured out on me abundantly, along with the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus. 15 Here is a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners – of whom I am the worst. 16 But for that very reason I was shown mercy so that in me, the worst of sinners, Christ Jesus might display his immense patience as an example for those who would believe in him and receive eternal life. 17 Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honour and glory for ever and ever. Amen.

The charge to Timothy renewed

18 Timothy, my son, I am giving you this command in keeping with the prophecies once made about you, so that by recalling them you may fight the battle well, 19 holding on to faith and a good conscience, which some have rejected and so have suffered shipwreck with regard to the faith. 20 Among them are Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I have handed over to Satan to be taught not to blaspheme.
