رُوما 10

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

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

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

For I testify for them, 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 plan of justification, they have not submitted to the righteousness of God.

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

For Christ is the end of the law for justification, to every one that believes.

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

For Moses describes the justification which is by the law: That the man who does these things shall live by them.

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

But the justification by faith speaks thus: Say not in your 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 again 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 says it? The word is near you, in your mouth and in your 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.

that if you will confess with your mouth, that Jesus is Lord, and will believe in your heart that God has raised him from the dead, you shall be saved.

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

For with the heart we believe, in order to justification; and with the mouth we make confession, it order to salvation.

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

For the scripture says: He that believes on him shall not be ashamed.

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

For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek; for the same Lord of all is rich to all that call on him:

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

For every one that calls on 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 of 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, unless they be sent? As it is written: How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the gospel of peace, who bring joyous news of good things!

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

But they have not all obeyed the gospel; for Isaiah says: Lord, who has believed our report?

١٧ 17 إِذًا ٱلْإِيمَانُ بِٱلْخَبَرِ، وَٱلْخَبَرُ بِكَلِمَةِ ٱللهِ.

So, then, faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

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

But I say: Have they not heard? Yes, verily; their voice has gone forth into all the earth: and their words to 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 not Israel know? First, Moses says: I will excite you to jealousy by that which is no nation; and by a foolish nation I will provoke you to wrath.

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

But Isaiah is very bold, and says: I was found by them that sought me not: I was made manifest to them that asked not after me.

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

But with respect to Israel, he says: All day long have I stretched out my hands to a disobedient and contradicting people.
