غَلاطِيَّة 5

١ 1 فَٱثْبُتُوا إِذًا فِي ٱلْحُرِّيَّةِ ٱلَّتِي قَدْ حَرَّرَنَا ٱلْمَسِيحُ بِهَا، وَلَا تَرْتَبِكُوا أَيْضًا بِنِيرِ عُبُودِيَّةٍ.

Stand firm in the liberty with which Christ made us free, and be not again bound fast to the yoke of bondage.

٢ 2 هَا أَنَا بُولُسُ أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: إِنَّهُ إِنِ ٱخْتَتَنْتُمْ لَا يَنْفَعُكُمُ ٱلْمَسِيحُ شَيْئًا!

Behold, I Paul say to you, that if ye are circumcised, Christ will profit you nothing;

٣ 3 لَكِنْ أَشْهَدُ أَيْضًا لِكُلِّ إِنْسَانٍ مُخْتَتِنٍ أَنَّهُ مُلْتَزِمٌ أَنْ يَعْمَلَ بِكُلِّ ٱلنَّامُوسِ.

yea, I testify again to every one who becometh circumcised, that he is bound to keep the whole Law.

٤ 4 قَدْ تَبَطَّلْتُمْ عَنِ ٱلْمَسِيحِ أَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ تَتَبَرَّرُونَ بِٱلنَّامُوسِ. سَقَطْتُمْ مِنَ ٱلنِّعْمَةِ.

Ye are entirely separated from Christ, who seek to obtain righteousness through the Law; ye have fallen away from grace.

٥ 5 فَإِنَّنَا بِٱلرُّوحِ مِنَ ٱلْإِيمَانِ نَتَوَقَّعُ رَجَاءَ بِرٍّ.

For we through the Spirit by faith steadfastly wait for the hope of righteousness.

٦ 6 لِأَنَّهُ فِي ٱلْمَسِيحِ يَسُوعَ لَا ٱلْخِتَانُ يَنْفَعُ شَيْئًا وَلَا ٱلْغُرْلَةُ، بَلِ ٱلْإِيمَانُ ٱلْعَامِلُ بِٱلْمَحَبَّةِ.

For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth anything, nor uncircumcision; but faith working by love.

٧ 7 كُنْتُمْ تَسْعَوْنَ حَسَنًا. فَمَنْ صَدَّكُمْ حَتَّى لَا تُطَاوِعُوا لِلْحَقِّ؟

Ye were running well; who hindered you, that ye should not obey the truth?

٨ 8 هَذِهِ ٱلْمُطَاوَعَةُ لَيْسَتْ مِنَ ٱلَّذِي دَعَاكُمْ.

This persuasion came not from him that called you.

٩ 9 «خَمِيرَةٌ صَغِيرَةٌ تُخَمِّرُ ٱلْعَجِينَ كُلَّهُ».

A little leaven leaveneth the whole lump.

١٠ 10 وَلَكِنَّنِي أَثِقُ بِكُمْ فِي ٱلرَّبِّ أَنَّكُمْ لَا تَفْتَكِرُونَ شَيْئًا آخَرَ. وَلَكِنَّ ٱلَّذِي يُزْعِجُكُمْ سَيَحْمِلُ ٱلدَّيْنُونَةَ أَيَّ مَنْ كَانَ.

I indeed have confidence in regard to you in the Lord, that ye will be no otherwise minded; but he that troubleth you shall bear his judgment, whoever he may be.

١١ 11 وَأَمَّا أَنَا أَيُّهَا ٱلْإِخْوَةُ فَإِنْ كُنْتُ بَعْدُ أَكْرِزُ بِٱلْخِتَانِ، فَلِمَاذَا أُضْطَهَدُ بَعْدُ؟ إِذًا عَثْرَةُ ٱلصَّلِيبِ قَدْ بَطَلَتْ.

But as for me, brethren, if I still preach circumcision, why do I still suffer persecution? Then hath the cross ceased to be a stumbling-block.

١٢ 12 يَالَيْتَ ٱلَّذِينَ يُقْلِقُونَكُمْ يَقْطَعُونَ أَيْضًا!

Would that they who unsettle you would quite cut themselves off!

١٣ 13 فَإِنَّكُمْ إِنَّمَا دُعِيتُمْ لِلْحُرِّيَّةِ أَيُّهَا ٱلْإِخْوَةُ. غَيْرَ أَنَّهُ لَا تُصَيِّرُوا ٱلْحُرِّيَّةَ فُرْصَةً لِلْجَسَدِ، بَلْ بِٱلْمَحَبَّةِ ٱخْدِمُوا بَعْضُكُمْ بَعْضًا.

For ye, brethren, were called to liberty; only use not your liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by your love serve one another.

١٤ 14 لِأَنَّ كُلَّ ٱلنَّامُوسِ فِي كَلِمَةٍ وَاحِدَةٍ يُكْمَلُ: «تُحِبُّ قَرِيبَكَ كَنَفْسِكَ».

For the whole Law is fulfilled in one commandment, even in this “Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.”

١٥ 15 فَإِذَا كُنْتُمْ تَنْهَشُونَ وَتَأْكُلُونَ بَعْضُكُمْ بَعْضًا، فَٱنْظُرُوا لِئَلَّا تُفْنُوا بَعْضُكُمْ بَعْضًا.

But if ye bite and devour one another, beware lest ye be consumed by one another.

١٦ 16 وَإِنَّمَا أَقُولُ: ٱسْلُكُوا بِٱلرُّوحِ فَلَا تُكَمِّلُوا شَهْوَةَ ٱلْجَسَدِ.

But I say, Walk by the Spirit, and ye will not fulfill the desires of the flesh.

١٧ 17 لِأَنَّ ٱلْجَسَدَ يَشْتَهِي ضِدَّ ٱلرُّوحِ وَٱلرُّوحُ ضِدَّ ٱلْجَسَدِ، وَهَذَانِ يُقَاوِمُ أَحَدُهُمَا ٱلْآخَرَ، حَتَّى تَفْعَلُونَ مَا لَا تُرِيدُونَ.

For the flesh hath desires against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these oppose one another, that ye may not do the things that ye would.

١٨ 18 وَلَكِنْ إِذَا ٱنْقَدْتُمْ بِٱلرُّوحِ فَلَسْتُمْ تَحْتَ ٱلنَّامُوسِ.

But if ye are led by the Spirit, ye are not under the Law.

١٩ 19 وَأَعْمَالُ ٱلْجَسَدِ ظَاهِرَةٌ، ٱلَّتِي هِيَ: زِنًى، عَهَارَةٌ، نَجَاسَةٌ، دَعَارَةٌ،

Now the works of the flesh are manifest; such as fornication, uncleanness, wantonness,

٢٠ 20 عِبَادَةُ ٱلْأَوْثَانِ، سِحْرٌ، عَدَاوَةٌ، خِصَامٌ، غَيْرَةٌ، سَخَطٌ، تَحَزُّبٌ، شِقَاقٌ، بِدْعَةٌ،

idolatry, sorcery, hatreds, strife, rivalry, outbursts of wrath, cabals, divisions, factions,

٢١ 21 حَسَدٌ، قَتْلٌ، سُكْرٌ، بَطَرٌ، وَأَمْثَالُ هَذِهِ ٱلَّتِي أَسْبِقُ فَأَقُولُ لَكُمْ عَنْهَا كَمَا سَبَقْتُ فَقُلْتُ أَيْضًا: إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ يَفْعَلُونَ مِثْلَ هَذِهِ لَا يَرِثُونَ مَلَكُوتَ ٱللهِ.

envyings, drunkenness, revelings, and things like these; of which I tell you beforehand, as I also told you in time past, that they who practise such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

٢٢ 22 وَأَمَّا ثَمَرُ ٱلرُّوحِ فَهُوَ: مَحَبَّةٌ، فَرَحٌ، سَلَامٌ، طُولُ أَنَاةٍ، لُطْفٌ، صَلَاحٌ، إِيمَانٌ،

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,

٢٣ 23 وَدَاعَةٌ، تَعَفُّفٌ. ضِدَّ أَمْثَالِ هَذِهِ لَيْسَ نَامُوسٌ.

meekness, temperance; against such things as these there is no law.

٢٤ 24 وَلَكِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ لِلْمَسِيحِ قَدْ صَلَبُوا ٱلْجَسَدَ مَعَ ٱلْأَهْوَاءِ وَٱلشَّهَوَاتِ.

And they who belong to Christ Jesus crucified the flesh with the passions and lusts.

٢٥ 25 إِنْ كُنَّا نَعِيشُ بِٱلرُّوحِ، فَلْنَسْلُكْ أَيْضًا بِحَسَبِ ٱلرُّوحِ.

If we live by the Spirit, let us also walk by the Spirit.

٢٦ 26 لَا نَكُنْ مُعْجِبِينَ نُغَاضِبُ بَعْضُنَا بَعْضًا، وَنَحْسِدُ بَعْضُنَا بَعْضًا.

Let us not become vain-glorious, provoking one another, envying one another.
