رُوما 11
| فَأَقُولُ: أَلَعَلَّ ٱللهَ رَفَضَ شَعْبَهُ؟ حَاشَا! لِأَنِّي أَنَا أَيْضًا إِسْرَائِيلِيٌّ مِنْ نَسْلِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ مِنْ سِبْطِ بِنْيَامِينَ. | ١ 1 |
I ask then, did God reject His people? Certainly not! I am an Israelite myself, a descendant of Abraham, from the tribe of Benjamin.
| لَمْ يَرْفُضِ ٱللهُ شَعْبَهُ ٱلَّذِي سَبَقَ فَعَرَفَهُ. أَمْ لَسْتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ مَاذَا يَقُولُ ٱلْكِتَابُ فِي إِيلِيَّا؟ كَيْفَ يَتَوَسَّلُ إِلَى ٱللهِ ضِدَّ إِسْرَائِيلَ قَائِلًا: | ٢ 2 |
God did not reject His people, whom He foreknew. Do you not know what the Scripture says about Elijah, how he appealed to God against Israel:
| «يَارَبُّ، قَتَلُوا أَنْبِيَاءَكَ وَهَدَمُوا مَذَابِحَكَ، وَبَقِيتُ أَنَا وَحْدِي، وَهُمْ يَطْلُبُونَ نَفْسِي!». | ٣ 3 |
“Lord, they have killed Your prophets and torn down Your altars. I am the only one left, and they are seeking my life as well”?
| لَكِنْ مَاذَا يَقُولُ لَهُ ٱلْوَحْيُ؟ «أَبْقَيْتُ لِنَفْسِي سَبْعَةَ آلَافِ رَجُلٍ لَمْ يُحْنُوا رُكْبَةً لِبَعْلٍ». | ٤ 4 |
And what was the divine reply to him? “I have reserved for Myself seven thousand men who have not bowed the knee to Baal.”
| فَكَذَلِكَ فِي ٱلزَّمَانِ ٱلْحَاضِرِ أَيْضًا قَدْ حَصَلَتْ بَقِيَّةٌ حَسَبَ ٱخْتِيَارِ ٱلنِّعْمَةِ. | ٥ 5 |
In the same way, at the present time there is a remnant chosen by grace.
| فَإِنْ كَانَ بِٱلنِّعْمَةِ فَلَيْسَ بَعْدُ بِٱلْأَعْمَالِ، وَإِلَّا فَلَيْسَتِ ٱلنِّعْمَةُ بَعْدُ نِعْمَةً. وَإِنْ كَانَ بِٱلْأَعْمَالِ فَلَيْسَ بَعْدُ نِعْمَةً، وَإِلَّا فَٱلْعَمَلُ لَا يَكُونُ بَعْدُ عَمَلًا. | ٦ 6 |
And if it is by grace, then it is no longer by works. Otherwise, grace would no longer be grace.
| فَمَاذَا؟ مَا يَطْلُبُهُ إِسْرَائِيلُ ذَلِكَ لَمْ يَنَلْهُ. وَلَكِنِ ٱلْمُخْتَارُونَ نَالُوهُ. وَأَمَّا ٱلْبَاقُونَ فَتَقَسَّوْا، | ٧ 7 |
What then? What Israel was seeking, it failed to obtain, but the elect did. The others were hardened,
| كَمَا هُوَ مَكْتُوبٌ: «أَعْطَاهُمُ ٱللهُ رُوحَ سُبَاتٍ، وَعُيُونًا حَتَّى لَا يُبْصِرُوا، وَآذَانًا حَتَّى لَا يَسْمَعُوا إِلَى هَذَا ٱلْيَوْمِ». | ٨ 8 |
as it is written: “God gave them a spirit of stupor, eyes that could not see, and ears that could not hear, to this very day.”
| وَدَاوُدُ يَقُولُ: «لِتَصِرْ مَائِدَتُهُمْ فَخًّا وَقَنَصًا وَعَثْرَةً وَمُجَازَاةً لَهُمْ. | ٩ 9 |
And David says: “May their table become a snare and a trap, a stumbling block and a retribution to them.
| لِتُظْلِمْ أَعْيُنُهُمْ كَيْ لَا يُبْصِرُوا، وَلْتَحْنِ ظُهُورَهُمْ فِي كُلِّ حِينٍ». | ١٠ 10 |
May their eyes be darkened so they cannot see, and their backs be bent forever.”
| فَأَقُولُ: أَلَعَلَّهُمْ عَثَرُوا لِكَيْ يَسْقُطُوا؟ حَاشَا! بَلْ بِزَلَّتِهِمْ صَارَ ٱلْخَلَاصُ لِلْأُمَمِ لِإِغَارَتِهِمْ. | ١١ 11 |
I ask then, did they stumble so as to fall beyond recovery? Certainly not! However, because of their trespass, salvation has come to the Gentiles to make Israel jealous.
| فَإِنْ كَانَتْ زَلَّتُهُمْ غِنًى لِلْعَالَمِ، وَنُقْصَانُهُمْ غِنًى لِلْأُمَمِ، فَكَمْ بِٱلْحَرِيِّ مِلْؤُهُمْ؟ | ١٢ 12 |
But if their trespass means riches for the world, and their failure means riches for the Gentiles, how much greater riches will their fullness bring!
| فَإِنِّي أَقُولُ لَكُمْ أَيُّهَا ٱلْأُمَمُ: بِمَا أَنِّي أَنَا رَسُولٌ لِلْأُمَمِ أُمَجِّدُ خِدْمَتِي، | ١٣ 13 |
I am speaking to you Gentiles. Inasmuch as I am the apostle to the Gentiles, I magnify my ministry
| لَعَلِّي أُغِيرُ أَنْسِبَائِي وَأُخَلِّصُ أُنَاسًا مِنْهُمْ. | ١٤ 14 |
in the hope that I may provoke my own people to jealousy and save some of them.
| لِأَنَّهُ إِنْ كَانَ رَفْضُهُمْ هُوَ مُصَالَحَةَ ٱلْعَالَمِ، فَمَاذَا يَكُونُ ٱقْتِبَالُهُمْ إِلَّا حَيَاةً مِنَ ٱلْأَمْوَاتِ؟ | ١٥ 15 |
For if their rejection is the reconciliation of the world, what will their acceptance be but life from the dead?
| وَإِنْ كَانَتِ ٱلْبَاكُورَةُ مُقَدَّسَةً فَكَذَلِكَ ٱلْعَجِينُ! وَإِنْ كَانَ ٱلْأَصْلُ مُقَدَّسًا فَكَذَلِكَ ٱلْأَغْصَانُ! | ١٦ 16 |
If the first part of the dough is holy, so is the whole batch; if the root is holy, so are the branches.
| فَإِنْ كَانَ قَدْ قُطِعَ بَعْضُ ٱلْأَغْصَانِ، وَأَنْتَ زَيْتُونَةٌ بَرِّيَّةٌ طُعِّمْتَ فِيهَا، فَصِرْتَ شَرِيكًا فِي أَصْلِ ٱلزَّيْتُونَةِ وَدَسَمِهَا، | ١٧ 17 |
Now if some branches have been broken off, and you, a wild olive shoot, have been grafted in among the others to share in the nourishment of the olive root,
| فَلَا تَفْتَخِرْ عَلَى ٱلْأَغْصَانِ. وَإِنِ ٱفْتَخَرْتَ، فَأَنْتَ لَسْتَ تَحْمِلُ ٱلْأَصْلَ، بَلِ ٱلْأَصْلُ إِيَّاكَ يَحْمِلُ! | ١٨ 18 |
do not boast over those branches. If you do, remember this: You do not support the root, but the root supports you.
| فَسَتَقُولُ: «قُطِعَتِ ٱلْأَغْصَانُ لِأُطَعَّمَ أَنَا!». | ١٩ 19 |
You will say then, “Branches were broken off so that I could be grafted in.”
| حَسَنًا! مِنْ أَجْلِ عَدَمِ ٱلْإِيمَانِ قُطِعَتْ، وَأَنْتَ بِٱلْإِيمَانِ ثَبَتَّ. لَا تَسْتَكْبِرْ بَلْ خَفْ! | ٢٠ 20 |
That is correct: They were broken off because of unbelief, but you stand by faith. Do not be arrogant, but be afraid.
| لِأَنَّهُ إِنْ كَانَ ٱللهُ لَمْ يُشْفِقْ عَلَى ٱلْأَغْصَانِ ٱلطَّبِيعِيَّةِ فَلَعَلَّهُ لَا يُشْفِقُ عَلَيْكَ أَيْضًا! | ٢١ 21 |
For if God did not spare the natural branches, He will certainly not spare you either.
| فَهُوَذَا لُطْفُ ٱللهِ وَصَرَامَتُهُ: أَمَّا ٱلصَّرَامَةُ فَعَلَى ٱلَّذِينَ سَقَطُوا، وَأَمَّا ٱللُّطْفُ فَلَكَ، إِنْ ثَبَتَّ فِي ٱللُّطْفِ، وَإِلَّا فَأَنْتَ أَيْضًا سَتُقْطَعُ. | ٢٢ 22 |
Take notice, therefore, of the kindness and severity of God: severity to those who fell, but kindness to you, if you continue in His kindness. Otherwise you also will be cut off.
| وَهُمْ إِنْ لَمْ يَثْبُتُوا فِي عَدَمِ ٱلْإِيمَانِ سَيُطَعَّمُونَ. لِأَنَّ ٱللهَ قَادِرٌ أَنْ يُطَعِّمَهُمْ أَيْضًا. | ٢٣ 23 |
And if they do not persist in unbelief, they will be grafted in, for God is able to graft them in again.
| لِأَنَّهُ إِنْ كُنْتَ أَنْتَ قَدْ قُطِعْتَ مِنَ ٱلزَّيْتُونَةِ ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ حَسَبَ ٱلطَّبِيعَةِ، وَطُعِّمْتَ بِخِلَافِ ٱلطَّبِيعَةِ فِي زَيْتُونَةٍ جَيِّدَةٍ، فَكَمْ بِٱلْحَرِيِّ يُطَعَّمُ هَؤُلَاءِ ٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ حَسَبَ ٱلطَّبِيعَةِ، فِي زَيْتُونَتِهِمِ ٱلْخَاصَّةِ؟ | ٢٤ 24 |
For if you were cut from a wild olive tree, and contrary to nature were grafted into one that is cultivated, how much more readily will these, the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree!
| فَإِنِّي لَسْتُ أُرِيدُ أَيُّهَا ٱلْإِخْوَةُ أَنْ تَجْهَلُوا هَذَا ٱلسِّرَّ، لِئَلَّا تَكُونُوا عِنْدَ أَنْفُسِكُمْ حُكَمَاءَ: أَنَّ ٱلْقَسَاوَةَ قَدْ حَصَلَتْ جُزْئِيًّا لِإِسْرَائِيلَ إِلَى أَنْ يَدْخُلَ مِلْؤُ ٱلْأُمَمِ، | ٢٥ 25 |
I do not want you to be ignorant of this mystery, brothers, so that you will not be conceited: A hardening in part has come to Israel, until the full number of the Gentiles has come in.
| وَهَكَذَا سَيَخْلُصُ جَمِيعُ إِسْرَائِيلَ. كَمَا هُوَ مَكْتُوبٌ: «سَيَخْرُجُ مِنْ صِهْيَوْنَ ٱلْمُنْقِذُ وَيَرُدُّ ٱلْفُجُورَ عَنْ يَعْقُوبَ. | ٢٦ 26 |
And so all Israel will be saved, as it is written: “The Deliverer will come from Zion; He will remove godlessness from Jacob.
| وَهَذَا هُوَ ٱلْعَهْدُ مِنْ قِبَلِي لَهُمْ مَتَى نَزَعْتُ خَطَايَاهُمْ». | ٢٧ 27 |
And this is My covenant with them when I take away their sins.”
| مِنْ جِهَةِ ٱلْإِنْجِيلِ هُمْ أَعْدَاءٌ مِنْ أَجْلِكُمْ، وَأَمَّا مِنْ جِهَةِ ٱلِٱخْتِيَارِ فَهُمْ أَحِبَّاءُ مِنْ أَجْلِ ٱلْآبَاءِ، | ٢٨ 28 |
Regarding the gospel, they are enemies on your account; but regarding election, they are loved on account of the patriarchs.
| لِأَنَّ هِبَاتِ ٱللهِ وَدَعْوَتَهُ هِيَ بِلَا نَدَامَةٍ. | ٢٩ 29 |
For God’s gifts and His call are irrevocable.
| فَإِنَّهُ كَمَا كُنْتُمْ أَنْتُمْ مَرَّةً لَا تُطِيعُونَ ٱللهَ، وَلَكِنِ ٱلْآنَ رُحِمْتُمْ بِعِصْيَانِ هَؤُلَاءِ، | ٣٠ 30 |
Just as you who formerly disobeyed God have now received mercy through their disobedience,
| هَكَذَا هَؤُلَاءِ أَيْضًا ٱلْآنَ، لَمْ يُطِيعُوا لِكَيْ يُرْحَمُوا هُمْ أَيْضًا بِرَحْمَتِكُمْ. | ٣١ 31 |
so they too have now disobeyed, in order that they too may now receive mercy through the mercy shown to you.
| لِأَنَّ ٱللهَ أَغْلَقَ عَلَى ٱلْجَمِيعِ مَعًا فِي ٱلْعِصْيَانِ، لِكَيْ يَرْحَمَ ٱلْجَمِيعَ. (eleēsē g1653) | ٣٢ 32 |
For God has consigned everyone to disobedience so that He may have mercy on everyone. (eleēsē g1653)
| يَا لَعُمْقِ غِنَى ٱللهِ وَحِكْمَتِهِ وَعِلْمِهِ! مَا أَبْعَدَ أَحْكَامَهُ عَنِ ٱلْفَحْصِ وَطُرُقَهُ عَنِ ٱلِٱسْتِقْصَاءِ! | ٣٣ 33 |
O, the depth of the riches of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgments, and untraceable His ways!
| «لِأَنْ مَنْ عَرَفَ فِكْرَ ٱلرَّبِّ؟ أَوْ مَنْ صَارَ لَهُ مُشِيرًا؟ | ٣٤ 34 |
“Who has known the mind of the Lord? Or who has been His counselor?”
| أَوْ مَنْ سَبَقَ فَأَعْطَاهُ فَيُكَافَأَ؟». | ٣٥ 35 |
“Who has first given to God, that God should repay him?”
