1This is a trustworthy saying: If anyone aspires to be an overseer, he desires a noble task.
1صَادِقَةٌ هِيَ ٱلْكَلِمَةُ: إِنِ ٱبْتَغَى أَحَدٌ ٱلْأُسْقُفِيَّةَ، فَيَشْتَهِي عَمَلًا صَالِحًا.
2An overseer, then, must be above reproach, the husband of but one wife, temperate, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, able to teach,
2فَيَجِبُ أَنْ يَكُونَ ٱلْأُسْقُفُ: بِلَا لَوْمٍ، بَعْلَ ٱمْرَأَةٍ وَاحِدَةٍ، صَاحِيًا، عَاقِلًا، مُحْتَشِمًا، مُضِيفًا لِلْغُرَبَاءِ، صَالِحًا لِلتَّعْلِيمِ،
3not dependent on wine, not violent but gentle, peaceable, and free of the love of money.
3غَيْرَ مُدْمِنِ ٱلْخَمْرِ، وَلَا ضَرَّابٍ، وَلَا طَامِعٍ بِٱلرِّبْحِ ٱلْقَبِيحِ، بَلْ حَلِيمًا، غَيْرَ مُخَاصِمٍ، وَلَا مُحِبٍّ لِلْمَالِ،
4An overseer must manage his own household well and keep his children under control, with complete dignity.
4يُدَبِّرُ بَيْتَهُ حَسَنًا، لَهُ أَوْلَادٌ فِي ٱلْخُضُوعِ بِكُلِّ وَقَارٍ.
5For if someone does not know how to manage his own household, how can he care for the church of God?
5وَإِنَّمَا إِنْ كَانَ أَحَدٌ لَا يَعْرِفُ أَنْ يُدَبِّرَ بَيْتَهُ، فَكَيْفَ يَعْتَنِي بِكَنِيسَةِ ٱللهِ؟
6He must not be a recent convert, or he may become conceited and fall under the same condemnation as the devil.
6غَيْرَ حَدِيثِ ٱلْإِيمَانِ لِئَلَّا يَتَصَلَّفَ فَيَسْقُطَ فِي دَيْنُونَةِ إِبْلِيسَ.
7Furthermore, he must have a good reputation with outsiders, so that he will not fall into disgrace and into the snare of the devil.
7وَيَجِبُ أَيْضًا أَنْ تَكُونَ لَهُ شَهَادَةٌ حَسَنَةٌ مِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ مِنْ خَارِجٍ، لِئَلَّا يَسْقُطَ فِي تَعْيِيرٍ وَفَخِّ إِبْلِيسَ.
8Deacons likewise must be dignified, not double-tongued or given to much wine or greedy for money.
8كَذَلِكَ يَجِبُ أَنْ يَكُونَ ٱلشَّمَامِسَةُ ذَوِي وَقَارٍ، لَا ذَوِي لِسَانَيْنِ، غَيْرَ مُولَعِينَ بِٱلْخَمْرِ ٱلْكَثِيرِ، وَلَا طَامِعِينَ بِٱلرِّبْحِ ٱلْقَبِيحِ،
9They must hold to the mystery of the faith with a clear conscience.
9وَلَهُمْ سِرُّ ٱلْإِيمَانِ بِضَمِيرٍ طَاهِرٍ.
10Additionally, they must first be tested. Then, if they are above reproach, let them serve as deacons.
10وَإِنَّمَا هَؤُلَاءِ أَيْضًا لِيُخْتَبَرُوا أَوَّلًا، ثُمَّ يَتَشَمَّسُوا إِنْ كَانُوا بِلَا لَوْمٍ.
11In the same way, the women must be dignified, not slanderers, but temperate and faithful in all things.
11كَذَلِكَ يَجِبُ أَنْ تَكُونَ ٱلنِّسَاءُ ذَوَاتِ وَقَارٍ، غَيْرَ ثَالِبَاتٍ، صَاحِيَاتٍ، أَمِينَاتٍ فِي كُلِّ شَيْءٍ.
12A deacon must be the husband of but one wife, a good manager of his children and of his own household.
12لِيَكُنِ ٱلشَّمَامِسَةُ كُلٌّ: بَعْلَ ٱمْرَأَةٍ وَاحِدَةٍ، مُدَبِّرِينَ أَوْلَادَهُمْ وَبُيُوتَهُمْ حَسَنًا،
13For those who have served well as deacons acquire for themselves a high standing and great confidence in the faith that is in Christ Jesus.
13لِأَنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ تَشَمَّسُوا حَسَنًا، يَقْتَنُونَ لِأَنْفُسِهِمْ دَرَجَةً حَسَنَةً وَثِقَةً كَثِيرَةً فِي ٱلْإِيمَانِ ٱلَّذِي بِٱلْمَسِيحِ يَسُوعَ.
14Although I hope to come to you soon, I am writing you these things
14هَذَا أَكْتُبُهُ إِلَيْكَ رَاجِيًا أَنْ آتِيَ إِلَيْكَ عَنْ قَرِيبٍ.
15in case I am delayed, so that you will know how each one must conduct himself in God’s household, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and foundation of the truth.
15وَلَكِنْ إِنْ كُنْتُ أُبْطِئُ، فَلِكَيْ تَعْلَمَ كَيْفَ يَجِبُ أَنْ تَتَصَرَّفَ فِي بَيْتِ ٱللهِ، ٱلَّذِي هُوَ كَنِيسَةُ ٱللهِ ٱلْحَيِّ، عَمُودُ ٱلْحَقِّ وَقَاعِدَتُهُ.
16By common confession, the mystery of godliness is great: He appeared in the flesh, was vindicated by the Spirit, was seen by angels, was proclaimed among the nations, was believed in throughout the world, was taken up in glory.
16وَبِٱلْإِجْمَاعِ عَظِيمٌ هُوَ سِرُّ ٱلتَّقْوَى: ٱللهُ ظَهَرَ فِي ٱلْجَسَدِ، تَبَرَّرَ فِي ٱلرُّوحِ، تَرَاءَى لِمَلَائِكَةٍ، كُرِزَ بِهِ بَيْنَ ٱلْأُمَمِ، أُومِنَ بِهِ فِي ٱلْعَالَمِ، رُفِعَ فِي ٱلْمَجْدِ.
