رُوما 13

١ 1 لِتَخْضَعْ كُلُّ نَفْسٍ لِلسَّلَاطِينِ ٱلْفَائِقَةِ، لِأَنَّهُ لَيْسَ سُلْطَانٌ إِلَّا مِنَ ٱللهِ، وَٱلسَّلَاطِينُ ٱلْكَائِنَةُ هِيَ مُرَتَّبَةٌ مِنَ ٱللهِ،

Let euery soule be subiect vnto the higher powers: for there is no power but of God: and the powers that be, are ordeined of God.

٢ 2 حَتَّى إِنَّ مَنْ يُقَاوِمُ ٱلسُّلْطَانَ يُقَاوِمُ تَرْتِيبَ ٱللهِ، وَٱلْمُقَاوِمُونَ سَيَأْخُذُونَ لِأَنْفُسِهِمْ دَيْنُونَةً.

Whosoeuer therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist, shall receiue to themselues condemnation.

٣ 3 فَإِنَّ ٱلْحُكَّامَ لَيْسُوا خَوْفًا لِلْأَعْمَالِ ٱلصَّالِحَةِ بَلْ لِلشِّرِّيرَةِ. أَفَتُرِيدُ أَنْ لَا تَخَافَ ٱلسُّلْطَانَ؟ ٱفْعَلِ ٱلصَّلَاحَ فَيَكُونَ لَكَ مَدْحٌ مِنْهُ،

For Magistrates are not to be feared for good workes, but for euill. Wilt thou then bee without feare of the power? doe well: so shalt thou haue praise of the same.

٤ 4 لِأَنَّهُ خَادِمُ ٱللهِ لِلصَّلَاحِ! وَلَكِنْ إِنْ فَعَلْتَ ٱلشَّرَّ فَخَفْ، لِأَنَّهُ لَا يَحْمِلُ ٱلسَّيْفَ عَبَثًا، إِذْ هُوَ خَادِمُ ٱللهِ، مُنْتَقِمٌ لِلْغَضَبِ مِنَ ٱلَّذِي يَفْعَلُ ٱلشَّرَّ.

For he is ye minister of God for thy wealth, but if thou do euill, feare: for he beareth not the sworde for nought: for he is the minister of God to take vengeance on him that doeth euill.

٥ 5 لِذَلِكَ يَلْزَمُ أَنْ يُخْضَعَ لَهُ، لَيْسَ بِسَبَبِ ٱلْغَضَبِ فَقَطْ، بَلْ أَيْضًا بِسَبَبِ ٱلضَّمِيرِ.

Wherefore ye must bee subiect, not because of wrath only, but also for conscience sake.

٦ 6 فَإِنَّكُمْ لِأَجْلِ هَذَا تُوفُونَ ٱلْجِزْيَةَ أَيْضًا، إِذْ هُمْ خُدَّامُ ٱللهِ مُوَاظِبُونَ عَلَى ذَلِكَ بِعَيْنِهِ.

For, for this cause ye pay also tribute: for they are Gods ministers, applying themselues for the same thing.

٧ 7 فَأَعْطُوا ٱلْجَمِيعَ حُقُوقَهُمُ: ٱلْجِزْيَةَ لِمَنْ لَهُ ٱلْجِزْيَةُ. ٱلْجِبَايَةَ لِمَنْ لَهُ ٱلْجِبَايَةُ. وَٱلْخَوْفَ لِمَنْ لَهُ ٱلْخَوْفُ. وَٱلْإِكْرَامَ لِمَنْ لَهُ ٱلْإِكْرَامُ.

Giue to all men therefore their duetie: tribute, to whome yee owe tribute: custome, to whom custome: feare, to whome feare: honour, to whom ye owe honour.

٨ 8 لَا تَكُونُوا مَدْيُونِينَ لِأَحَدٍ بِشَيْءٍ إِلَّا بِأَنْ يُحِبَّ بَعْضُكُمْ بَعْضًا، لِأَنَّ مَنْ أَحَبَّ غَيْرَهُ فَقَدْ أَكْمَلَ ٱلنَّامُوسَ.

Owe nothing to any man, but to loue one another: for he that loueth another, hath fulfilled the Lawe.

٩ 9 لِأَنَّ «لَا تَزْنِ، لَا تَقْتُلْ، لَا تَسْرِقْ، لَا تَشْهَدْ بِٱلزُّورِ، لَا تَشْتَهِ»، وَإِنْ كَانَتْ وَصِيَّةً أُخْرَى، هِيَ مَجْمُوعَةٌ فِي هَذِهِ ٱلْكَلِمَةِ: «أَنْ تُحِبَّ قَرِيبَكَ كَنَفْسِكَ».

For this, Thou shalt not commit adulterie, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steale, Thou shalt not beare false witnes, Thou shalt not couet: and if there be any other commandement, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, euen in this, Thou shalt loue thy neighbour as thy selfe.

١٠ 10 اَلْمَحَبَّةُ لَا تَصْنَعُ شَرًّا لِلْقَرِيبِ، فَٱلْمَحَبَّةُ هِيَ تَكْمِيلُ ٱلنَّامُوسِ.

Loue doeth not euill to his neighbour: therefore is loue the fulfilling of the Lawe.

١١ 11 هَذَا وَإِنَّكُمْ عَارِفُونَ ٱلْوَقْتَ، أَنَّهَا ٱلْآنَ سَاعَةٌ لِنَسْتَيْقِظَ مِنَ ٱلنَّوْمِ، فَإِنَّ خَلَاصَنَا ٱلْآنَ أَقْرَبُ مِمَّا كَانَ حِينَ آمَنَّا.

And that, considering the season, that it is now time that we should arise from sleepe: for now is our saluation neerer, then when we beleeued it.

١٢ 12 قَدْ تَنَاهَى ٱللَّيْلُ وَتَقَارَبَ ٱلنَّهَارُ، فَلْنَخْلَعْ أَعْمَالَ ٱلظُّلْمَةِ وَنَلْبَسْ أَسْلِحَةَ ٱلنُّورِ.

The night is past, and the day is at hande, let vs therefore cast away the workes of darkenesse, and let vs put on the armour of light,

١٣ 13 لِنَسْلُكْ بِلِيَاقَةٍ كَمَا فِي ٱلنَّهَارِ: لَا بِٱلْبَطَرِ وَٱلسُّكْرِ، لَا بِٱلْمَضَاجِعِ وَٱلْعَهَرِ، لَا بِٱلْخِصَامِ وَٱلْحَسَدِ.

So that wee walke honestly, as in the day: not in gluttonie, and drunkennesse, neither in chambering and wantonnes, nor in strife and enuying.

١٤ 14 بَلِ ٱلْبَسُوا ٱلرَّبَّ يَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحَ، وَلَا تَصْنَعُوا تَدْبِيرًا لِلْجَسَدِ لِأَجْلِ ٱلشَّهَوَاتِ.

But put yee on the Lord JESUS CHRIST, and take no thought for the flesh, to fulfill the lustes of it.
