رُوما 2

١ 1 لِذَلِكَ أَنْتَ بِلَا عُذْرٍ أَيُّهَا ٱلْإِنْسَانُ، كُلُّ مَنْ يَدِينُ. لِأَنَّكَ فِي مَا تَدِينُ غَيْرَكَ تَحْكُمُ عَلَى نَفْسِكَ. لِأَنَّكَ أَنْتَ ٱلَّذِي تَدِينُ تَفْعَلُ تِلْكَ ٱلْأُمُورَ بِعَيْنِهَا!

You, therefore, have no excuse, you who pass judgment on another. For on whatever grounds you judge the other, you are condemning yourself, because you who pass judgment do the same things.

٢ 2 وَنَحْنُ نَعْلَمُ أَنَّ دَيْنُونَةَ ٱللهِ هِيَ حَسَبُ ٱلْحَقِّ عَلَى ٱلَّذِينَ يَفْعَلُونَ مِثْلَ هَذِهِ.

And we know that God’s judgment against those who do such things is based on truth.

٣ 3 أَفَتَظُنُّ هَذَا أَيُّهَا ٱلْإِنْسَانُ ٱلَّذِي تَدِينُ ٱلَّذِينَ يَفْعَلُونَ مِثْلَ هَذِهِ، وَأَنْتَ تَفْعَلُهَا، أَنَّكَ تَنْجُو مِنْ دَيْنُونَةِ ٱللهِ؟

So when you, O man, pass judgment on others, yet do the same things, do you think you will escape God’s judgment?

٤ 4 أَمْ تَسْتَهِينُ بِغِنَى لُطْفِهِ وَإِمْهَالِهِ وَطُولِ أَنَاتِهِ، غَيْرَ عَالِمٍ أَنَّ لُطْفَ ٱللهِ إِنَّمَا يَقْتَادُكَ إِلَى ٱلتَّوْبَةِ؟

Or do you disregard the riches of His kindness, tolerance, and patience, not realizing that God’s kindness leads you to repentance?

٥ 5 وَلَكِنَّكَ مِنْ أَجْلِ قَسَاوَتِكَ وَقَلْبِكَ غَيْرِ ٱلتَّائِبِ، تَذْخَرُ لِنَفْسِكَ غَضَبًا فِي يَوْمِ ٱلْغَضَبِ وَٱسْتِعْلَانِ دَيْنُونَةِ ٱللهِ ٱلْعَادِلَةِ،

But because of your hard and unrepentant heart, you are storing up wrath against yourself for the day of wrath, when God’s righteous judgment will be revealed.

٦ 6 ٱلَّذِي سَيُجَازِي كُلَّ وَاحِدٍ حَسَبَ أَعْمَالِهِ.

God “will repay each one according to his deeds.”

٧ 7 أَمَّا ٱلَّذِينَ بِصَبْرٍ فِي ٱلْعَمَلِ ٱلصَّالِحِ يَطْلُبُونَ ٱلْمَجْدَ وَٱلْكَرَامَةَ وَٱلْبَقَاءَ، فَبِٱلْحَيَاةِ ٱلْأَبَدِيَّةِ. (aiōnios g166)

To those who by perseverance in doing good seek glory, honor, and immortality, He will give eternal life. (aiōnios g166)

٨ 8 وَأَمَّا ٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ مِنْ أَهْلِ ٱلتَّحَزُّبِ، وَلَا يُطَاوِعُونَ لِلْحَقِّ بَلْ يُطَاوِعُونَ لِلْإِثْمِ، فَسَخَطٌ وَغَضَبٌ،

But for those who are self-seeking and who reject the truth and follow wickedness, there will be wrath and anger.

٩ 9 شِدَّةٌ وَضِيقٌ، عَلَى كُلِّ نَفْسِ إِنْسَانٍ يَفْعَلُ ٱلشَّرَّ: ٱلْيَهُودِيِّ أَوَّلًا ثُمَّ ٱلْيُونَانِيِّ.

There will be trouble and distress for every human being who does evil, first for the Jew, then for the Greek;

١٠ 10 وَمَجْدٌ وَكَرَامَةٌ وَسَلَامٌ لِكُلِّ مَنْ يَفْعَلُ ٱلصَّلَاحَ: ٱلْيَهُودِيِّ أَوَّلًا ثُمَّ ٱلْيُونَانِيِّ.

but glory, honor, and peace for everyone who does good, first for the Jew, then for the Greek.

١١ 11 لِأَنْ لَيْسَ عِنْدَ ٱللهِ مُحَابَاةٌ.

For God does not show favoritism.

١٢ 12 لِأَنَّ كُلَّ مَنْ أَخْطَأَ بِدُونِ ٱلنَّامُوسِ فَبِدُونِ ٱلنَّامُوسِ يَهْلِكُ. وَكُلُّ مَنْ أَخْطَأَ فِي ٱلنَّامُوسِ فَبِٱلنَّامُوسِ يُدَانُ.

All who sin apart from the law will also perish apart from the law, and all who sin under the law will be judged by the law.

١٣ 13 لِأَنْ لَيْسَ ٱلَّذِينَ يَسْمَعُونَ ٱلنَّامُوسَ هُمْ أَبْرَارٌ عِنْدَ ٱللهِ، بَلِ ٱلَّذِينَ يَعْمَلُونَ بِٱلنَّامُوسِ هُمْ يُبَرَّرُونَ.

For it is not the hearers of the law who are righteous before God, but it is the doers of the law who will be declared righteous.

١٤ 14 لِأَنَّهُ ٱلْأُمَمُ ٱلَّذِينَ لَيْسَ عِنْدَهُمُ ٱلنَّامُوسُ، مَتَى فَعَلُوا بِٱلطَّبِيعَةِ مَا هُوَ فِي ٱلنَّامُوسِ، فَهَؤُلَاءِ إِذْ لَيْسَ لَهُمُ ٱلنَّامُوسُ هُمْ نَامُوسٌ لِأَنْفُسِهِمِ،

Indeed, when Gentiles, who do not have the law, do by nature what the law requires, they are a law to themselves, even though they do not have the law.

١٥ 15 ٱلَّذِينَ يُظْهِرُونَ عَمَلَ ٱلنَّامُوسِ مَكْتُوبًا فِي قُلُوبِهِمْ، شَاهِدًا أَيْضًا ضَمِيرُهُمْ وَأَفْكَارُهُمْ فِيمَا بَيْنَهَا مُشْتَكِيَةً أَوْ مُحْتَجَّةً،

So they show that the work of the law is written on their hearts, their consciences also bearing witness, and their thoughts either accusing or defending them

١٦ 16 فِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلَّذِي فِيهِ يَدِينُ ٱللهُ سَرَائِرَ ٱلنَّاسِ حَسَبَ إِنْجِيلِي بِيَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ.

on the day when God will judge men’s secrets through Christ Jesus, as proclaimed by my gospel.

١٧ 17 هُوَذَا أَنْتَ تُسَمَّى يَهُودِيًّا، وَتَتَّكِلُ عَلَى ٱلنَّامُوسِ، وَتَفْتَخِرُ بِٱللهِ،

Now you, if you call yourself a Jew; if you rely on the law and boast in God;

١٨ 18 وَتَعْرِفُ مَشِيئَتَهُ، وَتُمَيِّزُ ٱلْأُمُورَ ٱلْمُتَخَالِفَةَ، مُتَعَلِّمًا مِنَ ٱلنَّامُوسِ.

if you know His will and approve of what is superior because you are instructed by the law;

١٩ 19 وَتَثِقُ أَنَّكَ قَائِدٌ لِلْعُمْيَانِ، وَنُورٌ لِلَّذِينَ فِي ٱلظُّلْمَةِ،

if you are convinced that you are a guide for the blind, a light for those in darkness,

٢٠ 20 وَمُهَذِّبٌ لِلْأَغْبِيَاءِ، وَمُعَلِّمٌ لِلْأَطْفَالِ، وَلَكَ صُورَةُ ٱلْعِلْمِ وَٱلْحَقِّ فِي ٱلنَّامُوسِ.

an instructor of the foolish, a teacher of infants, because you have in the law the embodiment of knowledge and truth—

٢١ 21 فَأَنْتَ إِذًا ٱلَّذِي تُعَلِّمُ غَيْرَكَ، أَلَسْتَ تُعَلِّمُ نَفْسَكَ؟ ٱلَّذِي تَكْرِزُ: أَنْ لَا يُسْرَقَ، أَتَسْرِقُ؟

you, then, who teach others, do you not teach yourself? You who preach against stealing, do you steal?

٢٢ 22 ٱلَّذِي تَقُولُ: أَنْ لَا يُزْنَى، أَتَزْنِي؟ ٱلَّذِي تَسْتَكْرِهُ ٱلْأَوْثَانَ، أَتَسْرِقُ ٱلْهَيَاكِلَ؟

You who forbid adultery, do you commit adultery? You who abhor idols, do you rob temples?

٢٣ 23 ٱلَّذِي تَفْتَخِرُ بِٱلنَّامُوسِ، أَبِتَعَدِّي ٱلنَّامُوسِ تُهِينُ ٱللهَ؟

You who boast in the law, do you dishonor God by breaking the law?

٢٤ 24 لِأَنَّ ٱسْمَ ٱللهِ يُجَدَّفُ عَلَيْهِ بِسَبَبِكُمْ بَيْنَ ٱلْأُمَمِ، كَمَا هُوَ مَكْتُوبٌ.

As it is written: “God’s name is blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you.”

٢٥ 25 فَإِنَّ ٱلْخِتَانَ يَنْفَعُ إِنْ عَمِلْتَ بِٱلنَّامُوسِ. وَلَكِنْ إِنْ كُنْتَ مُتَعَدِّيًا ٱلنَّامُوسَ، فَقَدْ صَارَ خِتَانُكَ غُرْلَةً!

Circumcision has value if you observe the law, but if you break the law, your circumcision has become uncircumcision.

٢٦ 26 إِذًا إِنْ كَانَ ٱلْأَغْرَلُ يَحْفَظُ أَحْكَامَ ٱلنَّامُوسِ، أَفَمَا تُحْسَبُ غُرْلَتُهُ خِتَانًا؟

If a man who is not circumcised keeps the requirements of the law, will not his uncircumcision be regarded as circumcision?

٢٧ 27 وَتَكُونُ ٱلْغُرْلَةُ ٱلَّتِي مِنَ ٱلطَّبِيعَةِ، وَهِيَ تُكَمِّلُ ٱلنَّامُوسَ، تَدِينُكَ أَنْتَ ٱلَّذِي فِي ٱلْكِتَابِ وَٱلْخِتَانِ تَتَعَدَّى ٱلنَّامُوسَ؟

The one who is physically uncircumcised yet keeps the law will condemn you who, even though you have the written code and circumcision, are a lawbreaker.

٢٨ 28 لِأَنَّ ٱلْيَهُودِيَّ فِي ٱلظَّاهِرِ لَيْسَ هُوَ يَهُودِيًّا، وَلَا ٱلْخِتَانُ ٱلَّذِي فِي ٱلظَّاهِرِ فِي ٱللَّحْمِ خِتَانًا،

A man is not a Jew because he is one outwardly, nor is circumcision only outward and physical.

٢٩ 29 بَلِ ٱلْيَهُودِيُّ فِي ٱلْخَفَاءِ هُوَ ٱلْيَهُودِيُّ، وَخِتَانُ ٱلْقَلْبِ بِٱلرُّوحِ لَا بِٱلْكِتَابِ هُوَ ٱلْخِتَانُ، ٱلَّذِي مَدْحُهُ لَيْسَ مِنَ ٱلنَّاسِ بَلْ مِنَ ٱللهِ.

No, a man is a Jew because he is one inwardly, and circumcision is a matter of the heart, by the Spirit, not by the written code. Such a man’s praise does not come from men, but from God.
