< رُوما 7 >

أَمْ تَجْهَلُونَ أَيُّهَا ٱلْإِخْوَةُ - لِأَنِّي أُكَلِّمُ ٱلْعَارِفِينَ بِٱلنَّامُوسِ - أَنَّ ٱلنَّامُوسَ يَسُودُ عَلَى ٱلْإِنْسَانِ مَا دَامَ حَيًّا؟ ١ 1
Is it not clear, my brothers (I am using an argument to those who have knowledge of the law), that the law has power over a man as long as he is living?
فَإِنَّ ٱلْمَرْأَةَ ٱلَّتِي تَحْتَ رَجُلٍ هِيَ مُرْتَبِطَةٌ بِٱلنَّامُوسِ بِٱلرَّجُلِ ٱلْحَيِّ. وَلَكِنْ إِنْ مَاتَ ٱلرَّجُلُ فَقَدْ تَحَرَّرَتْ مِنْ نَامُوسِ ٱلرَّجُلِ. ٢ 2
For the woman who has a husband is placed by the law under the power of her husband as long as he is living; but if her husband is dead, she is free from the law of the husband.
فَإِذًا مَا دَامَ ٱلرَّجُلُ حَيًّا تُدْعَى زَانِيَةً إِنْ صَارَتْ لِرَجُلٍ آخَرَ. وَلَكِنْ إِنْ مَاتَ ٱلرَّجُلُ فَهِيَ حُرَّةٌ مِنَ ٱلنَّامُوسِ، حَتَّى إِنَّهَا لَيْسَتْ زَانِيَةً إِنْ صَارَتْ لِرَجُلٍ آخَرَ. ٣ 3
So if, while the husband is living, she is joined to another man, she will get the name of one who is untrue to her husband: but if the husband is dead, she is free from the law, so that she is not untrue, even if she takes another man.
إِذًا يَا إِخْوَتِي أَنْتُمْ أَيْضًا قَدْ مُتُّمْ لِلنَّامُوسِ بِجَسَدِ ٱلْمَسِيحِ، لِكَيْ تَصِيرُوا لِآخَرَ، لِلَّذِي قَدْ أُقِيمَ مِنَ ٱلْأَمْوَاتِ لِنُثْمِرَ لِلهِ. ٤ 4
In the same way, my brothers, you were made dead to the law through the body of Christ, so that you might be joined to another, even to him who came again from the dead, so that we might give fruit to God.
لِأَنَّهُ لَمَّا كُنَّا فِي ٱلْجَسَدِ كَانَتْ أَهْوَاءُ ٱلْخَطَايَا ٱلَّتِي بِٱلنَّامُوسِ تَعْمَلُ فِي أَعْضَائِنَا، لِكَيْ نُثْمِرَ لِلْمَوْتِ. ٥ 5
For when we were in the flesh, the evil passions which came into being through the law were working in our bodies to give the fruit of death.
وَأَمَّا ٱلْآنَ فَقَدْ تَحَرَّرْنَا مِنَ ٱلنَّامُوسِ، إِذْ مَاتَ ٱلَّذِي كُنَّا مُمْسَكِينَ فِيهِ، حَتَّى نَعْبُدَ بِجِدَّةِ ٱلرُّوحِ لَا بِعِتْقِ ٱلْحَرْفِ. ٦ 6
But now we are free from the law, having been made dead to that which had power over us; so that we are servants in the new way of the spirit, not in the old way of the letter.
فَمَاذَا نَقُولُ؟ هَلِ ٱلنَّامُوسُ خَطِيَّةٌ؟ حَاشَا! بَلْ لَمْ أَعْرِفِ ٱلْخَطِيَّةَ إِلَّا بِٱلنَّامُوسِ. فَإِنَّنِي لَمْ أَعْرِفِ ٱلشَّهْوَةَ لَوْ لَمْ يَقُلِ ٱلنَّامُوسُ: «لَا تَشْتَهِ». ٧ 7
What then is to be said? is the law sin? in no way. But I would not have had knowledge of sin but for the law: for I would not have been conscious of desire if the law had not said, You may not have a desire for what is another's.
وَلَكِنَّ ٱلْخَطِيَّةَ وَهِيَ مُتَّخِذَةٌ فُرْصَةً بِٱلْوَصِيَّةِ أَنْشَأَتْ فِيَّ كُلَّ شَهْوَةٍ. لِأَنْ بِدُونِ ٱلنَّامُوسِ ٱلْخَطِيَّةُ مَيِّتَةٌ. ٨ 8
But sin, taking its chance through that which was ordered by the law, was working in me every form of desire: because without the law sin is dead.
أَمَّا أَنَا فَكُنْتُ بِدُونِ ٱلنَّامُوسِ عَائِشًا قَبْلًا. وَلَكِنْ لَمَّا جَاءَتِ ٱلْوَصِيَّةُ عَاشَتِ ٱلْخَطِيَّةُ، فَمُتُّ أَنَا، ٩ 9
And there was a time when I was living without the law: but when the law gave its orders, sin came to life and put me to death;
فَوُجِدَتِ ٱلْوَصِيَّةُ ٱلَّتِي لِلْحَيَاةِ هِيَ نَفْسُهَا لِي لِلْمَوْتِ. ١٠ 10
And I made the discovery that the law whose purpose was to give life had become a cause of death:
لِأَنَّ ٱلْخَطِيَّةَ، وَهِيَ مُتَّخِذَةٌ فُرْصَةً بِٱلْوَصِيَّةِ، خَدَعَتْنِي بِهَا وَقَتَلَتْنِي. ١١ 11
For I was tricked and put to death by sin, which took its chance through the law.
إِذًا ٱلنَّامُوسُ مُقَدَّسٌ، وَٱلْوَصِيَّةُ مُقَدَّسَةٌ وَعَادِلَةٌ وَصَالِحَةٌ. ١٢ 12
But the law is holy, and its orders are holy, upright, and good.
فَهَلْ صَارَ لِي ٱلصَّالِحُ مَوْتًا؟ حَاشَا! بَلِ ٱلْخَطِيَّةُ. لِكَيْ تَظْهَرَ خَطِيَّةً مُنْشِئَةً لِي بِٱلصَّالِحِ مَوْتًا، لِكَيْ تَصِيرَ ٱلْخَطِيَّةُ خَاطِئَةً جِدًّا بِٱلْوَصِيَّةِ. ١٣ 13
Was then that which is good, death to me? In no way. But the purpose was that sin might be seen to be sin by working death to me through that which is good; so that through the orders of the law sin might seem much more evil.
فَإِنَّنَا نَعْلَمُ أَنَّ ٱلنَّامُوسَ رُوحِيٌّ، وَأَمَّا أَنَا فَجَسَدِيٌّ مَبِيعٌ تَحْتَ ٱلْخَطِيَّةِ. ١٤ 14
For we are conscious that the law is of the spirit; but I am of the flesh, given into the power of sin.
لِأَنِّي لَسْتُ أَعْرِفُ مَا أَنَا أَفْعَلُهُ، إِذْ لَسْتُ أَفْعَلُ مَا أُرِيدُهُ، بَلْ مَا أُبْغِضُهُ فَإِيَّاهُ أَفْعَلُ. ١٥ 15
And I have no clear knowledge of what I am doing, for that which I have a mind to do, I do not, but what I have hate for, that I do.
فَإِنْ كُنْتُ أَفْعَلُ مَا لَسْتُ أُرِيدُهُ، فَإِنِّي أُصَادِقُ ٱلنَّامُوسَ أَنَّهُ حَسَنٌ. ١٦ 16
But, if I do that which I have no mind to do, I am in agreement with the law that the law is good.
فَٱلْآنَ لَسْتُ بَعْدُ أَفْعَلُ ذَلِكَ أَنَا، بَلِ ٱلْخَطِيَّةُ ٱلسَّاكِنَةُ فِيَّ. ١٧ 17
So it is no longer I who do it, but the sin living in me.
فَإِنِّي أَعْلَمُ أَنَّهُ لَيْسَ سَاكِنٌ فِيَّ، أَيْ فِي جَسَدِي، شَيْءٌ صَالِحٌ. لِأَنَّ ٱلْإِرَادَةَ حَاضِرَةٌ عِنْدِي، وَأَمَّا أَنْ أَفْعَلَ ٱلْحُسْنَى فَلَسْتُ أَجِدُ. ١٨ 18
For I am conscious that in me, that is, in my flesh, there is nothing good: I have the mind but not the power to do what is right.
لِأَنِّي لَسْتُ أَفْعَلُ ٱلصَّالِحَ ٱلَّذِي أُرِيدُهُ، بَلِ ٱلشَّرَّ ٱلَّذِي لَسْتُ أُرِيدُهُ فَإِيَّاهُ أَفْعَلُ. ١٩ 19
For the good which I have a mind to do, I do not: but the evil which I have no mind to do, that I do.
فَإِنْ كُنْتُ مَا لَسْتُ أُرِيدُهُ إِيَّاهُ أَفْعَلُ، فَلَسْتُ بَعْدُ أَفْعَلُهُ أَنَا، بَلِ ٱلْخَطِيَّةُ ٱلسَّاكِنَةُ فِيَّ. ٢٠ 20
But if I do what I have no mind to do, it is no longer I who do it, but the sin living in me.
إِذًا أَجِدُ ٱلنَّامُوسَ لِي حِينَمَا أُرِيدُ أَنْ أَفْعَلَ ٱلْحُسْنَى أَنَّ ٱلشَّرَّ حَاضِرٌ عِنْدِي. ٢١ 21
So I see a law that, though I have a mind to do good, evil is present in me.
فَإِنِّي أُسَرُّ بِنَامُوسِ ٱللهِ بِحَسَبِ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ ٱلْبَاطِنِ. ٢٢ 22
In my heart I take pleasure in the law of God,
وَلَكِنِّي أَرَى نَامُوسًا آخَرَ فِي أَعْضَائِي يُحَارِبُ نَامُوسَ ذِهْنِي، وَيَسْبِينِي إِلَى نَامُوسِ ٱلْخَطِيَّةِ ٱلْكَائِنِ فِي أَعْضَائِي. ٢٣ 23
But I see another law in my body, working against the law of my mind, and making me the servant of the law of sin which is in my flesh.
وَيْحِي أَنَا ٱلْإِنْسَانُ ٱلشَّقِيُّ! مَنْ يُنْقِذُنِي مِنْ جَسَدِ هَذَا ٱلْمَوْتِ؟ ٢٤ 24
How unhappy am I! who will make me free from the body of this death?
أَشْكُرُ ٱللهَ بِيَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ رَبِّنَا! إِذًا أَنَا نَفْسِي بِذِهْنِي أَخْدِمُ نَامُوسَ ٱللهِ، وَلَكِنْ بِٱلْجَسَدِ نَامُوسَ ٱلْخَطِيَّةِ. ٢٥ 25
I give praise to God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So with my mind I am a servant to the law of God, but with my flesh to the law of sin.
