| لِأَنِّي عَرَفْتُ ٱلْأَفْكَارَ ٱلَّتِي أَنَا مُفْتَكِرٌ بِهَا عَنْكُمْ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ، أَفْكَارَ سَلَامٍ لَا شَرٍّ، لِأُعْطِيَكُمْ آخِرَةً وَرَجَاءً. | For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope. |
| لِمَاذَا أَنْتِ مُنْحَنِيَةٌ يَا نَفْسِي؟ وَلِمَاذَا تَئِنِّينَ فِيَّ؟ تَرَجَّيِ ٱللهَ، لِأَنِّي بَعْدُ أَحْمَدُهُ، خَلَاصَ وَجْهِي وَإِلَهِي. | Why are you cast down, O my soul, and why are you in turmoil within me? Hope in God; for I shall again praise him, my salvation and my God. |
| وَأَمَّا مُنْتَظِرُو ٱلرَّبِّ فَيُجَدِّدُونَ قُوَّةً. يَرْفَعُونَ أَجْنِحَةً كَٱلنُّسُورِ. يَرْكُضُونَ وَلَا يَتْعَبُونَ. يَمْشُونَ وَلَا يُعْيُونَ. | But they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint. |
| ٱلرَّبُّ يَحْفَظُكَ مِنْ كُلِّ شَرٍّ. يَحْفَظُ نَفْسَكَ. ٱلرَّبُّ يَحْفَظُ خُرُوجَكَ وَدُخُولَكَ مِنَ ٱلْآنَ وَإِلَى ٱلدَّهْرِ. | The Lord will keep you from all evil; he will keep your life. The Lord will keep your going out and your coming in from this time forth and forevermore. |
| وَلْيَمْلَأْكُمْ إِلَهُ ٱلرَّجَاءِ كُلَّ سُرُورٍ وَسَلَامٍ فِي ٱلْإِيمَانِ، لِتَزْدَادُوا فِي ٱلرَّجَاءِ بِقُوَّةِ ٱلرُّوحِ ٱلْقُدُسِ. | May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope. |
| تَعَالَوْا إِلَيَّ يا جَمِيعَ ٱلْمُتْعَبِينَ وَٱلثَّقِيلِي ٱلْأَحْمَالِ، وَأَنَا أُرِيحُكُمْ. | Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. |
| وَأَمَّا ٱلْإِيمَانُ فَهُوَ ٱلثِّقَةُ بِمَا يُرْجَى وَٱلْإِيقَانُ بِأُمُورٍ لَا تُرَى. | Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. |
| أَمَّا ٱلْآنَ فَيَثْبُتُ: ٱلْإِيمَانُ وَٱلرَّجَاءُ وَٱلْمَحَبَّةُ، هَذِهِ ٱلثَّلَاثَةُ وَلَكِنَّ أَعْظَمَهُنَّ ٱلْمَحَبَّةُ. | So now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love. |
| وَلَيْسَ ذَلِكَ فَقَطْ، بَلْ نَفْتَخِرُ أَيْضًا فِي ٱلضِّيقَاتِ، عَالِمِينَ أَنَّ ٱلضِّيقَ يُنْشِئُ صَبْرًا، وَٱلصَّبْرُ تَزْكِيَةً، وَٱلتَّزْكِيَةُ رَجَاءً. | Not only that, but we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope. |
| سِتْرِي وَمِجَنِّي أَنْتَ. كَلَامَكَ ٱنْتَظَرْتُ. | You are my hiding place and my shield; I hope in your word. |
| لِنَتَمَسَّكْ بِإِقْرَارِ ٱلرَّجَاءِ رَاسِخًا، لِأَنَّ ٱلَّذِي وَعَدَ هُوَ أَمِينٌ. | Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who promised is faithful. |
| لِتَتَشَدَّدْ وَلْتَتَشَجَّعْ قُلُوبُكُمْ، يَا جَمِيعَ ٱلْمُنْتَظِرِينَ ٱلرَّبَّ. | Be strong, and let your heart take courage, all you who wait for the Lord! |
| وَلَكِنْ إِنْ كُنَّا نَرْجُو مَا لَسْنَا نَنْظُرُهُ فَإِنَّنَا نَتَوَقَّعُهُ بِٱلصَّبْرِ. | But if we hope for what we do not see, we wait for it with patience. |
| وَلَكِنَّنِي أُرَاقِبُ ٱلرَّبَّ، أَصْبِرُ لِإِلَهِ خَلَاصِي. يَسْمَعُنِي إِلَهِي. | But as for me, I will look to the Lord; I will wait for the God of my salvation; my God will hear me. |
| ٱلرَّجَاءُ ٱلْمُمَاطَلُ يُمْرِضُ ٱلْقَلْبَ، وَٱلشَّهْوَةُ ٱلْمُتَمَّمَةُ شَجَرَةُ حَيَاةٍ. | Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a desire fulfilled is a tree of life. |
| نَصِيبِي هُوَ ٱلرَّبُّ، قَالَتْ نَفْسِي، مِنْ أَجْلِ ذَلِكَ أَرْجُوهُ. | “The Lord is my portion,” says my soul, “therefore I will hope in him.” |
| دَرِّبْنِي فِي حَقِّكَ وَعَلِّمْنِي، لِأَنَّكَ أَنْتَ إِلَهُ خَلَاصِي. إِيَّاكَ ٱنْتَظَرْتُ ٱلْيَوْمَ كُلَّهُ. | Lead me in your truth and teach me, for you are the God of my salvation; for you I wait all the day long. |
| وَٱلرَّجَاءُ لَا يُخْزِي، لِأَنَّ مَحَبَّةَ ٱللهِ قَدِ ٱنْسَكَبَتْ فِي قُلُوبِنَا بِٱلرُّوحِ ٱلْقُدُسِ ٱلْمُعْطَى لَنَا. | And hope does not put us to shame, because God's love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us. |
| لِتَكُنْ يَا رَبُّ رَحْمَتُكَ عَلَيْنَا حَسْبَمَا ٱنْتَظَرْنَاكَ. | Let your steadfast love, O Lord, be upon us, even as we hope in you. |
| ٱنْتَظَرْتُكَ يَا رَبُّ. ٱنْتَظَرَتْ نَفْسِي، وَبِكَلَامِهِ رَجَوْتُ. | I wait for the Lord, my soul waits, and in his word I hope. |
| مُبَارَكٌ ٱللهُ أَبُو رَبِّنَا يَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ، ٱلَّذِي حَسَبَ رَحْمَتِهِ ٱلْكَثِيرَةِ وَلَدَنَا ثَانِيَةً لِرَجَاءٍ حَيٍّ، بِقِيَامَةِ يَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ مِنَ ٱلْأَمْوَاتِ. | Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! According to his great mercy, he has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. |
| رُوحُ ٱلسَّيِّدِ ٱلرَّبِّ عَلَيَّ، لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ مَسَحَنِي لِأُبَشِّرَ ٱلْمَسَاكِينَ، أَرْسَلَنِي لِأَعْصِبَ مُنْكَسِرِي ٱلْقَلْبِ، لِأُنَادِيَ لِلْمَسْبِيِّينَ بِٱلْعِتْقِ، وَلِلْمَأْسُورِينَ بِٱلْإِطْلَاقِ. | The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me, because the Lord has anointed me to bring good news to the poor; he has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to those who are bound. |
| بَلْ قَدِّسُوا ٱلرَّبَّ ٱلْإِلَهَ فِي قُلُوبِكُمْ، مُسْتَعِدِّينَ دَائِمًا لِمُجَاوَبَةِ كُلِّ مَنْ يَسْأَلُكُمْ عَنْ سَبَبِ ٱلرَّجَاءِ ٱلَّذِي فِيكُمْ، بِوَدَاعَةٍ وَخَوْفٍ. | 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. |
| جَسَدٌ وَاحِدٌ، وَرُوحٌ وَاحِدٌ، كَمَا دُعِيتُمْ أَيْضًا فِي رَجَاءِ دَعْوَتِكُمُ ٱلْوَاحِدِ. | There is one body and one Spirit—just as you were called to the one hope that belongs to your call. |
| ٱلَّذِينَ أَرَادَ ٱللهُ أَنْ يُعَرِّفَهُمْ مَا هُوَ غِنَى مَجْدِ هَذَا ٱلسِّرِّ فِي ٱلْأُمَمِ، ٱلَّذِي هُوَ ٱلْمَسِيحُ فِيكُمْ رَجَاءُ ٱلْمَجْدِ. | To them God chose to make known how great among the Gentiles are the riches of the glory of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory. |
