غَلاطِيَّة 5

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

For freedom Christ has set us free. Stand firm, therefore, and do not again be put under the control of a yoke of slavery.

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

Look, I, Paul, say to you that if you let yourselves be circumcised, Christ will not benefit you in any way.

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

I testify again to every man who lets himself be circumcised that he is obligated to obey the whole law.

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

You are cut off from Christ, you who would be justified by the law; you no longer experience grace.

٥ 5 فَإِنَّنَا بِٱلرُّوحِ مِنَ ٱلْإِيمَانِ نَتَوَقَّعُ رَجَاءَ بِرٍّ.

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

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

In Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision means anything, but only faith working through love.

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

You were running well. Who prevented you from obeying the truth?

٨ 8 هَذِهِ ٱلْمُطَاوَعَةُ لَيْسَتْ مِنَ ٱلَّذِي دَعَاكُمْ.

This persuasion does not come from him who calls you!

٩ 9 «خَمِيرَةٌ صَغِيرَةٌ تُخَمِّرُ ٱلْعَجِينَ كُلَّهُ».

A little yeast makes the whole batch of dough rise.

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

I have confidence in the Lord that you will take no other view. The one who is troubling you will pay the penalty, whoever he is.

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

Brothers, if I still proclaim circumcision, why am I still being persecuted? In that case the stumbling block of the cross has been removed.

١٢ 12 يَالَيْتَ ٱلَّذِينَ يُقْلِقُونَكُمْ يَقْطَعُونَ أَيْضًا!

As for those who are disturbing you, I wish they would castrate themselves!

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

For you were called to freedom, brothers. But do not use your freedom as an opportunity for the sinful nature; rather, through love serve one another.

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

For the whole law is fulfilled in one command: “You must love your neighbor as yourself.”

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

But if you bite and devour one another, watch out that you are not consumed by one another.

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

But I say, walk by the Spirit and you will not carry out the desires of the sinful nature.

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

For the desires of the sinful nature are against the Spirit, and the desires of the Spirit are against the sinful nature. For these are in conflict with each other, so that you cannot do the things you want.

١٨ 18 وَلَكِنْ إِذَا ٱنْقَدْتُمْ بِٱلرُّوحِ فَلَسْتُمْ تَحْتَ ٱلنَّامُوسِ.

But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.

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

Now the works of the sinful nature are evident: sexual immorality, impurity, depravity,

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

idolatry, sorcery, hostilities, strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, rivalry, dissension, divisions,

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.

envy, drunkenness, drunken celebrations, and things like these. I warn you, as I warned you before, that those who practice such things will 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, patience, kindness, goodness, faith,

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

gentleness, and self-control; against such things there is no law.

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

Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the sinful nature with its passions and desires.

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 conceited, provoking one another, envying one another.
