رُوما 1

١ 1 بُولُسُ، عَبْدٌ لِيَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ، ٱلْمَدْعُوُّ رَسُولًا، ٱلْمُفْرَزُ لِإِنْجِيلِ ٱللهِ،

Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated to the gospel of God,

٢ 2 ٱلَّذِي سَبَقَ فَوَعَدَ بِهِ بِأَنْبِيَائِهِ فِي ٱلْكُتُبِ ٱلْمُقَدَّسَةِ،

( Which he had promised before by his prophets in the holy scriptures, )

٣ 3 عَنِ ٱبْنِهِ. ٱلَّذِي صَارَ مِنْ نَسْلِ دَاوُدَ مِنْ جِهَةِ ٱلْجَسَدِ،

Concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, who was born of the seed of David according to the flesh;

٤ 4 وَتَعَيَّنَ ٱبْنَ ٱللهِ بِقُوَّةٍ مِنْ جِهَةِ رُوحِ ٱلْقَدَاسَةِ، بِٱلْقِيَامَةِ مِنَ ٱلْأَمْوَاتِ: يَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ رَبِّنَا.

And declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead:

٥ 5 ٱلَّذِي بِهِ، لِأَجْلِ ٱسْمِهِ، قَبِلْنَا نِعْمَةً وَرِسَالَةً، لِإِطَاعَةِ ٱلْإِيمَانِ فِي جَمِيعِ ٱلْأُمَمِ،

By whom we have received grace and apostleship, for obedience to the faith among all nations, for his name:

٦ 6 ٱلَّذِينَ بَيْنَهُمْ أَنْتُمْ أَيْضًا مَدْعُوُّو يَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ.

Among whom are ye also the called of Jesus Christ:

٧ 7 إِلَى جَمِيعِ ٱلْمَوْجُودِينَ فِي رُومِيَةَ، أَحِبَّاءَ ٱللهِ، مَدْعُوِّينَ قِدِّيسِينَ: نِعْمَةٌ لَكُمْ وَسَلَامٌ مِنَ ٱللهِ أَبِينَا وَٱلرَّبِّ يَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ.

To all that are in Rome, beloved of God, called to be saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.

٨ 8 أَوَّلًا، أَشْكُرُ إِلَهِي بِيَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ مِنْ جِهَةِ جَمِيعِكُمْ، أَنَّ إِيمَانَكُمْ يُنَادَى بِهِ فِي كُلِّ ٱلْعَالَمِ.

First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that your faith is spoken of throughout the whole world.

٩ 9 فَإِنَّ ٱللهَ ٱلَّذِي أَعْبُدُهُ بِرُوحِي، فِي إِنْجِيلِ ٱبْنِهِ، شَاهِدٌ لِي كَيْفَ بِلَا ٱنْقِطَاعٍ أَذْكُرُكُمْ،

For God is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in the gospel of his Son, that without ceasing I make mention of you always in my prayers;

١٠ 10 مُتَضَرِّعًا دَائِمًا فِي صَلَوَاتِي عَسَى ٱلْآنَ أَنْ يَتَيَسَّرَ لِي مَرَّةً بِمَشِيئَةِ ٱللهِ أَنْ آتِيَ إِلَيْكُمْ.

Making request, if by any means now at length I may have a prosperous journey by the will of God to come to you.

١١ 11 لِأَنِّي مُشْتَاقٌ أَنْ أَرَاكُمْ، لِكَيْ أَمْنَحَكُمْ هِبَةً رُوحِيَّةً لِثَبَاتِكُمْ،

For I long to see you, that I may impart to you some spiritual gift, to the end that ye may be established;

١٢ 12 أَيْ لِنَتَعَزَّى بَيْنَكُمْ بِٱلْإِيمَانِ ٱلَّذِي فِينَا جَمِيعًا، إِيمَانِكُمْ وَإِيمَانِي.

That is, that I may be comforted together with you by the mutual faith both of you and me.

١٣ 13 ثُمَّ لَسْتُ أُرِيدُ أَنْ تَجْهَلُوا أَيُّهَا ٱلْإِخْوَةُ أَنَّنِي مِرَارًا كَثِيرَةً قَصَدْتُ أَنْ آتِيَ إِلَيْكُمْ، وَمُنِعْتُ حَتَّى ٱلْآنَ، لِيَكُونَ لِي ثَمَرٌ فِيكُمْ أَيْضًا كَمَا فِي سَائِرِ ٱلْأُمَمِ.

Now I would not have you ignorant, brethren, that I have often purposed to come to you, ( but was hindered until now, ) that I might have some fruit among you also, even as among other Gentiles.

١٤ 14 إِنِّي مَدْيُونٌ لِلْيُونَانِيِّينَ وَٱلْبَرَابِرَةِ، لِلْحُكَمَاءِ وَٱلْجُهَلَاءِ.

I am debtor both to the Greeks, and to the Barbarians; both to the wise, and to the unwise.

١٥ 15 فَهَكَذَا مَا هُوَ لِي مُسْتَعَدٌّ لِتَبْشِيرِكُمْ أَنْتُمُ ٱلَّذِينَ فِي رُومِيَةَ أَيْضًا،

So, as much as in me is, I am ready to preach the gospel to you that are at Rome also.

١٦ 16 لِأَنِّي لَسْتُ أَسْتَحِي بِإِنْجِيلِ ٱلْمَسِيحِ، لِأَنَّهُ قُوَّةُ ٱللهِ لِلْخَلَاصِ لِكُلِّ مَنْ يُؤْمِنُ: لِلْيَهُودِيِّ أَوَّلًا ثُمَّ لِلْيُونَانِيِّ.

For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God to salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.

١٧ 17 لِأَنْ فِيهِ مُعْلَنٌ بِرُّ ٱللهِ بِإِيمَانٍ، لِإِيمَانٍ، كَمَا هُوَ مَكْتُوبٌ: «أَمَّا ٱلْبَارُّ فَبِٱلْإِيمَانِ يَحْيَا».

For in this is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.

١٨ 18 لِأَنَّ غَضَبَ ٱللهِ مُعْلَنٌ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَاءِ عَلَى جَمِيعِ فُجُورِ ٱلنَّاسِ وَإِثْمِهِمِ، ٱلَّذِينَ يَحْجِزُونَ ٱلْحَقَّ بِٱلْإِثْمِ.

For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;

١٩ 19 إِذْ مَعْرِفَةُ ٱللهِ ظَاهِرَةٌ فِيهِمْ، لِأَنَّ ٱللهَ أَظْهَرَهَا لَهُمْ،

Because that which may be known of God is evident in them; for God hath shown it to them.

٢٠ 20 لِأَنَّ أُمُورَهُ غَيْرَ ٱلْمَنْظُورَةِ تُرىَ مُنْذُ خَلْقِ ٱلْعَالَمِ مُدْرَكَةً بِٱلْمَصْنُوعَاتِ، قُدْرَتَهُ ٱلسَّرْمَدِيَّةَ وَلَاهُوتَهُ، حَتَّى إِنَّهُمْ بِلَا عُذْرٍ. (aïdios g126)

For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: (aïdios g126)

٢١ 21 لِأَنَّهُمْ لَمَّا عَرَفُوا ٱللهَ لَمْ يُمَجِّدُوهُ أَوْ يَشْكُرُوهُ كَإِلَهٍ، بَلْ حَمِقُوا فِي أَفْكَارِهِمْ، وَأَظْلَمَ قَلْبُهُمُ ٱلْغَبِيُّ.

Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.

٢٢ 22 وَبَيْنَمَا هُمْ يَزْعُمُونَ أَنَّهُمْ حُكَمَاءُ صَارُوا جُهَلَاءَ،

Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,

٢٣ 23 وَأَبْدَلُوا مَجْدَ ٱللهِ ٱلَّذِي لَا يَفْنَى بِشِبْهِ صُورَةِ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ ٱلَّذِي يَفْنَى، وَٱلطُّيُورِ، وَٱلدَّوَابِّ، وَٱلزَّحَّافَاتِ.

And changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like corruptible man, and birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.

٢٤ 24 لِذَلِكَ أَسْلَمَهُمُ ٱللهُ أَيْضًا فِي شَهَوَاتِ قُلُوبِهِمْ إِلَى ٱلنَّجَاسَةِ، لِإِهَانَةِ أَجْسَادِهِمْ بَيْنَ ذَوَاتِهِمِ.

Therefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:

٢٥ 25 ٱلَّذِينَ ٱسْتَبْدَلُوا حَقَّ ٱللهِ بِٱلْكَذِبِ، وَٱتَّقَوْا وَعَبَدُوا ٱلْمَخْلُوقَ دُونَ ٱلْخَالِقِ، ٱلَّذِي هُوَ مُبَارَكٌ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ. آمِينَ. (aiōn g165)

Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)

٢٦ 26 لِذَلِكَ أَسْلَمَهُمُ ٱللهُ إِلَى أَهْوَاءِ ٱلْهَوَانِ، لِأَنَّ إِنَاثَهُمُ ٱسْتَبْدَلْنَ ٱلٱسْتِعْمَالَ ٱلطَّبِيعِيَّ بِٱلَّذِي عَلَى خِلَافِ ٱلطَّبِيعَةِ،

For this cause God gave them up to vile affections: for even their women changed the natural use into that which is against nature:

٢٧ 27 وَكَذَلِكَ ٱلذُّكُورُ أَيْضًا تَارِكِينَ ٱسْتِعْمَالَ ٱلْأُنْثَى ٱلطَّبِيعِيَّ، ٱشْتَعَلُوا بِشَهْوَتِهِمْ بَعْضِهِمْ لِبَعْضٍ، فَاعِلِينَ ٱلْفَحْشَاءَ ذُكُورًا بِذُكُورٍ، وَنَائِلِينَ فِي أَنْفُسِهِمْ جَزَاءَ ضَلَالِهِمِ ٱلْمُحِقَّ.

And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was due.

٢٨ 28 وَكَمَا لَمْ يَسْتَحْسِنُوا أَنْ يُبْقُوا ٱللهَ فِي مَعْرِفَتِهِمْ، أَسْلَمَهُمُ ٱللهُ إِلَى ذِهْنٍ مَرْفُوضٍ لِيَفْعَلُوا مَا لَا يَلِيقُ.

And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things which are not proper;

٢٩ 29 مَمْلُوئِينَ مِنْ كُلِّ إِثْمٍ وَزِنًا وَشَرٍّ وَطَمَعٍ وَخُبْثٍ، مَشْحُونِينَ حَسَدًا وَقَتْلًا وَخِصَامًا وَمَكْرًا وَسُوءًا،

Being filled with all unrighteousness, immorality, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, malignity; whisperers,

٣٠ 30 نَمَّامِينَ مُفْتَرِينَ، مُبْغِضِينَ لِلهِ، ثَالِبِينَ مُتَعَظِّمِينَ مُدَّعِينَ، مُبْتَدِعِينَ شُرُورًا، غَيْرَ طَائِعِينَ لِلْوَالِدَيْنِ،

Backbiters, haters of God, insolent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,

٣١ 31 بِلَا فَهْمٍ وَلَا عَهْدٍ وَلَا حُنُوٍّ وَلَا رِضًى وَلَا رَحْمَةٍ.

Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:

٣٢ 32 ٱلَّذِينَ إِذْ عَرَفُوا حُكْمَ ٱللهِ أَنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ يَعْمَلُونَ مِثْلَ هَذِهِ يَسْتَوْجِبُونَ ٱلْمَوْتَ، لَا يَفْعَلُونَهَا فَقَطْ، بَلْ أَيْضًا يُسَرُّونَ بِٱلَّذِينَ يَعْمَلُونَ.

Who knowing the judgment of God, that they who commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.
