رُوما 10

١ 1 أَيُّهَا ٱلْإِخْوَةُ، إِنَّ مَسَرَّةَ قَلْبِي وَطَلْبَتِي إِلَى ٱللهِ لِأَجْلِ إِسْرَائِيلَ هِيَ لِلْخَلَاصِ.

Brethren, my heart’s desire and my supplication to God is for them, that they may be saved.

٢ 2 لِأَنِّي أَشْهَدُ لَهُمْ أَنَّ لَهُمْ غَيْرَةً لِلهِ، وَلَكِنْ لَيْسَ حَسَبَ ٱلْمَعْرِفَةِ.

For I bear them witness that they have a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge.

٣ 3 لِأَنَّهُمْ إِذْ كَانُوا يَجْهَلُونَ بِرَّ ٱللهِ، وَيَطْلُبُونَ أَنْ يُثْبِتُوا بِرَّ أَنْفُسِهِمْ لَمْ يُخْضَعُوا لِبِرِّ ٱللهِ.

For being ignorant of God’s righteousness, and seeking to establish their own, they did not subject themselves to the righteousness of God.

٤ 4 لِأَنَّ غَايَةَ ٱلنَّامُوسِ هِيَ: ٱلْمَسِيحُ لِلْبِرِّ لِكُلِّ مَنْ يُؤْمِنُ.

For Christ is the end of the law unto righteousness to every one that believeth.

٥ 5 لِأَنَّ مُوسَى يَكْتُبُ فِي ٱلْبِرِّ ٱلَّذِي بِٱلنَّامُوسِ: «إِنَّ ٱلْإِنْسَانَ ٱلَّذِي يَفْعَلُهَا سَيَحْيَا بِهَا».

For Moses writeth that the man that doeth the righteousness which is of the law shall live thereby.

٦ 6 وَأَمَّا ٱلْبِرُّ ٱلَّذِي بِٱلْإِيمَانِ فَيَقُولُ هَكَذَا: «لَا تَقُلْ فِي قَلْبِكَ: مَنْ يَصْعَدُ إِلَى ٱلسَّمَاءِ؟» أَيْ لِيُحْدِرَ ٱلْمَسِيحَ،

But the righteousness which is of faith saith thus, Say not in thy heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down: )

٧ 7 «أَوْ: مَنْ يَهْبِطُ إِلَى ٱلْهَاوِيَةِ؟» أَيْ لِيُصْعِدَ ٱلْمَسِيحَ مِنَ ٱلْأَمْوَاتِ. (Abyssos g12)

or, Who shall descend into the abyss? (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead.) (Abyssos g12)

٨ 8 لَكِنْ مَاذَا يَقُولُ؟ «اَلْكَلِمَةُ قَرِيبَةٌ مِنْكَ، فِي فَمِكَ وَفِي قَلْبِكَ» أَيْ كَلِمَةُ ٱلْإِيمَانِ ٱلَّتِي نَكْرِزُ بِهَا:

But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach:

٩ 9 لِأَنَّكَ إِنِ ٱعْتَرَفْتَ بِفَمِكَ بِٱلرَّبِّ يَسُوعَ، وَآمَنْتَ بِقَلْبِكَ أَنَّ ٱللهَ أَقَامَهُ مِنَ ٱلْأَمْوَاتِ، خَلَصْتَ.

because if thou shalt confess with thy mouth Jesus [as] Lord, and shalt believe in thy heart that God raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved:

١٠ 10 لِأَنَّ ٱلْقَلْبَ يُؤْمَنُ بِهِ لِلْبِرِّ، وَٱلْفَمَ يُعْتَرَفُ بِهِ لِلْخَلَاصِ.

for with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

١١ 11 لِأَنَّ ٱلْكِتَابَ يَقُولُ: «كُلُّ مَنْ يُؤْمِنُ بِهِ لَا يُخْزَى».

For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be put to shame.

١٢ 12 لِأَنَّهُ لَا فَرْقَ بَيْنَ ٱلْيَهُودِيِّ وَٱلْيُونَانِيِّ، لِأَنَّ رَبًّا وَاحِدًا لِلْجَمِيعِ، غَنِيًّا لِجَمِيعِ ٱلَّذِينَ يَدْعُونَ بِهِ.

For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek: for the same [Lord] is Lord of all, and is rich unto all that call upon him:

١٣ 13 لِأَنَّ «كُلَّ مَنْ يَدْعُو بِٱسْمِ ٱلرَّبِّ يَخْلُصُ».

for, Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

١٤ 14 فَكَيْفَ يَدْعُونَ بِمَنْ لَمْ يُؤْمِنُوا بِهِ؟ وَكَيْفَ يُؤْمِنُونَ بِمَنْ لَمْ يَسْمَعُوا بِهِ؟ وَكَيْفَ يَسْمَعُونَ بِلَا كَارِزٍ؟

How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?

١٥ 15 وَكَيْفَ يَكْرِزُونَ إِنْ لَمْ يُرْسَلُوا؟ كَمَا هُوَ مَكْتُوبٌ: «مَا أَجْمَلَ أَقْدَامَ ٱلْمُبَشِّرِينَ بِٱلسَّلَامِ، ٱلْمُبَشِّرِينَ بِٱلْخَيْرَاتِ».

and how shall they preach, except they be sent? even as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that bring glad tidings of good things!

١٦ 16 لَكِنْ لَيْسَ ٱلْجَمِيعُ قَدْ أَطَاعُوا ٱلْإِنْجِيلَ، لِأَنَّ إِشَعْيَاءَ يَقُولُ: «يَارَبُّ، مَنْ صَدَّقَ خَبَرَنَا؟».

But they did not all hearken to the glad tidings. For Isaiah saith, Lord, who hath believed our report?

١٧ 17 إِذًا ٱلْإِيمَانُ بِٱلْخَبَرِ، وَٱلْخَبَرُ بِكَلِمَةِ ٱللهِ.

So belief [cometh] of hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ.

١٨ 18 لَكِنَّنِي أَقُولُ: أَلَعَلَّهُمْ لَمْ يَسْمَعُوا؟ بَلَى! «إِلَى جَمِيعِ ٱلْأَرْضِ خَرَجَ صَوْتُهُمْ، وَإِلَى أَقَاصِي ٱلْمَسْكُونَةِ أَقْوَالُهُمْ».

But I say, Did they not hear? Yea, verily, Their sound went out into all the earth, And their words unto the ends of the world.

١٩ 19 لَكِنِّي أَقُولُ: أَلَعَلَّ إِسْرَائِيلَ لَمْ يَعْلَمْ؟ أَوَّلًا مُوسَى يَقُولُ: «أَنَا أُغِيرُكُمْ بِمَا لَيْسَ أُمَّةً. بِأُمَّةٍ غَبِيَّةٍ أُغِيظُكُمْ».

But I say, Did Israel not know? First Moses saith, I will provoke you to jealousy with that which is no nation, With a nation void of understanding will I anger you.

٢٠ 20 ثُمَّ إِشَعْيَاءُ يَتَجَاسَرُ وَيَقُولُ: «وُجِدْتُ مِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ لَمْ يَطْلُبُونِي، وَصِرْتُ ظَاهِرًا لِلَّذِينَ لَمْ يَسْأَلُوا عَنِّي».

And Isaiah is very bold, and saith, I was found of them that sought me not; I became manifest unto them that asked not of me.

٢١ 21 أَمَّا مِنْ جِهَةِ إِسْرَائِيلَ فَيَقُولُ: «طُولَ ٱلنَّهَارِ بَسَطْتُ يَدَيَّ إِلَى شَعْبٍ مُعَانِدٍ وَمُقَاوِمٍ».

But as to Israel he saith, All the day long did I spread out my hands unto a disobedient and gainsaying people.
