Reader:
A chapter from the first epistle of our teacher Saint Paul to Saint Timothy. May his blessings be with us all. Amen. (1 Timothy 5:17 - 6:2)
القارئ:
فصل من رسالة معلمنا بولس الرسول إلى تيموثاوس الأولى. بركاته علينا. آمين.
(1 تيموثاوس 17:5 - 2:6)
Let the priests who rule well be counted worthy of double honor, especially those who labor in the word and doctrine. For the Scripture says, "You shall not muzzle an ox while it treads out the grain," and, "The laborer is worthy of his wages." Do not receive an accusation against a priest except from two or three witnesses. Those who are sinning rebuke in the presence of all, that the rest also may fear. I charge you before God and the Lord Jesus Christ and the elect angels that you observe these things without prejudice, doing nothing with partiality. Do not lay hands on anyone hastily, nor share in other people's sins; keep yourself pure. No longer drink only water, but use a little wine for your stomach's sake and your frequent infirmities. Some men's sins are clearly evident, preceding them to judgment, but those of some men follow later. Likewise, the good works of some are clearly evident, and those that are otherwise cannot be hidden. Let as many bondservants as are under the yoke count their own masters worthy of all honor, so that the name of God and His doctrine may not be blasphemed. And those who have believing masters, let them not despise them because they are brethren, but rather serve them because those who are benefited are believers and beloved. Teach and exhort these things.
أَمَّا القُسوس الْمُدَبِّرُونَ حَسَناً فَلْيُحْسَبُوا أَهْلاً لِكَرَامَةٍ مُضَاعَفَةٍ، وَلاَ سِيَّمَا الَّذِينَ يَتْعَبُونَ فِي الْكَلِمَةِ وَالتَّعْلِيمِ، لأَنَّ الْكِتَابَ يَقُولُ: «لاَ تَكُمَّ ثَوْراً دَارِساً، وَالْفَاعِلُ مُسْتَحِقٌّ أُجْرَتَهُ». لاَ تَقْبَلْ شِكَايَةً عَلَى قِّسٍ إِلاَّ عَلَى شَاهِدَيْنِ أَوْ ثَلاَثَةِ شُهُودٍ. اَلَّذِينَ يُخْطِئُونَ وَبِّخْهُمْ أَمَامَ الْجَمِيعِ لِكَيْ يَكُونَ عِنْدَ الْبَاقِينَ خَوْفٌ. أُنَاشِدُكَ أَمَامَ اللهِ وَالرَّبِّ يَسُوعَ الْمَسِيحِ وَالْمَلاَئِكَةِ الْمُخْتَارِينَ أَنْ تَحْفَظَ هَذَا بِدُونِ غَرَضٍ، وَلاَ تَعْمَلَ شَيْئاً بِمُحَابَاةٍ. لاَ تَضَعْ يَداً عَلَى أَحَدٍ بِالْعَجَلَةِ، وَلاَ تَشْتَرِكْ فِي خَطَايَا الآخَرِينَ. احْفَظْ نَفْسَكَ طَاهِراً. لاَ تَكُنْ فِي مَا بَعْدُ شَرَّابَ مَاءٍ، بَلِ اسْتَعْمِلْ خَمْراً قَلِيلاً مِنْ أَجْلِ مَعِدَتِكَ وَأَسْقَامِكَ الْكَثِيرَةِ. خَطَايَا بَعْضِ النَّاسِ وَاضِحَةٌ تَتَقَدَّمُ إِلَى الْقَضَاءِ، وَأَمَّا الْبَعْضُ فَتَتْبَعُهُمْ. كَذَلِكَ أَيْضاً الأَعْمَالُ الصَّالِحَةُ وَاضِحَةٌ، وَالَّتِي هِيَ خِلاَفُ ذَلِكَ لاَ يُمْكِنُ أَنْ تُخْفى. جَمِيعُ الَّذِينَ هُمْ عَبِيدٌ تَحْتَ نِيرٍ فَلْيَحْسِبُوا سَادَتَهُمْ مُسْتَحِقِّينَ كُلَّ إِكْرَامٍ، لِئَلاَّ يُفْتَرَى عَلَى اسْمِ اللهِ وَتَعْلِيمِهِ. وَالَّذِينَ لَهُمْ سَادَةٌ مُؤْمِنُونَ لاَ يَسْتَهِينُوا بِهِمْ لأَنَّهُمْ إِخْوَةٌ، بَلْ لِيَخْدِمُوهُمْ أَكْثَرَ، لأَنَّ الَّذِينَ يَتَشَارَكُونَ فِي الْفَائِدَةِ هُمْ مُؤْمِنُونَ وَمَحْبُوبُونَ. عَلِّمْ وَعِظْ بِهَذَا.
The grace of God the Father be with you all. Amen.
نعمة الله الآب تكون مع جميعكم. آمين.
