غَلاطِيَّة 3

١ 1 أَيُّهَا ٱلْغَلَاطِيُّونَ ٱلْأَغْبِيَاءُ، مَنْ رَقَاكُمْ حَتَّى لَا تُذْعِنُوا لِلْحَقِّ؟ أَنْتُمُ ٱلَّذِينَ أَمَامَ عُيُونِكُمْ قَدْ رُسِمَ يَسُوعُ ٱلْمَسِيحُ بَيْنَكُمْ مَصْلُوبًا!

O foolish Galatians, who bewitched you not to obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ was earlier described among you, crucified?

٢ 2 أُرِيدُ أَنْ أَتَعَلَّمَ مِنْكُمْ هَذَا فَقَطْ: أَبِأَعْمَالِ ٱلنَّامُوسِ أَخَذْتُمُ ٱلرُّوحَ أَمْ بِخَبَرِ ٱلْإِيمَانِ؟

I only want to learn this from you. Did ye receive the Spirit from works of law, or from a listening ear of faith?

٣ 3 أَهَكَذَا أَنْتُمْ أَغْبِيَاءُ! أَبَعْدَمَا ٱبْتَدَأْتُمْ بِٱلرُّوحِ تُكَمَّلُونَ ٱلْآنَ بِٱلْجَسَدِ؟

Are ye so foolish, having begun in Spirit, are ye now made perfect by flesh?

٤ 4 أَهَذَا ٱلْمِقْدَارَ ٱحْتَمَلْتُمْ عَبَثًا؟ إِنْ كَانَ عَبَثًا!

Did ye suffer so many things in vain? If it is indeed in vain.

٥ 5 فَٱلَّذِي يَمْنَحُكُمُ ٱلرُّوحَ، وَيَعْمَلُ قُوَّاتٍ فِيكُمْ، أَبِأَعْمَالِ ٱلنَّامُوسِ أَمْ بِخَبَرِ ٱلْإِيمَانِ؟

He therefore who supplies the Spirit to you and who works miracles among you, is it from works of law or from a listening ear of faith?

٦ 6 كَمَا «آمَنَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ بِٱللهِ فَحُسِبَ لَهُ بِرًّا».

Just as Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned to him for righteousness.

٧ 7 ٱعْلَمُوا إِذًا أَنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ مِنَ ٱلْإِيمَانِ أُولَئِكَ هُمْ بَنُو إِبْرَاهِيمَ.

Ye know therefore that those from faith, these are sons of Abraham.

٨ 8 وَٱلْكِتَابُ إِذْ سَبَقَ فَرَأَى أَنَّ ٱللهَ بِٱلْإِيمَانِ يُبَرِّرُ ٱلْأُمَمَ، سَبَقَ فَبَشَّرَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ أَنْ «فِيكَ تَتَبَارَكُ جَمِيعُ ٱلْأُمَمِ».

And the scripture having foreseen that God makes the Gentiles righteous from faith, proclaimed the good news in advance to Abraham: In thee all the nations will be blessed.

٩ 9 إِذًا ٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ مِنَ ٱلْإِيمَانِ يَتَبَارَكُونَ مَعَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِ.

So then those from faith are blessed with the faithful Abraham.

١٠ 10 لِأَنَّ جَمِيعَ ٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ مِنْ أَعْمَالِ ٱلنَّامُوسِ هُمْ تَحْتَ لَعْنَةٍ، لِأَنَّهُ مَكْتُوبٌ: «مَلْعُونٌ كُلُّ مَنْ لَا يَثْبُتُ فِي جَمِيعِ مَا هُوَ مَكْتُوبٌ فِي كِتَابِ ٱلنَّامُوسِ لِيَعْمَلَ بِهِ».

For as many as are from works of law are under a curse, for it is written, Cursed is every man who does not continue in all things written in the book of the law, to do them.

١١ 11 وَلَكِنْ أَنْ لَيْسَ أَحَدٌ يَتَبَرَّرُ بِٱلنَّامُوسِ عِنْدَ ٱللهِ فَظَاهِرٌ، لِأَنَّ «ٱلْبَارَّ بِٱلْإِيمَانِ يَحْيَا».

But that no man is made righteous by law before God, is evident, because, The righteous man will live from faith.

١٢ 12 وَلَكِنَّ ٱلنَّامُوسَ لَيْسَ مِنَ ٱلْإِيمَانِ، بَلِ «ٱلْإِنْسَانُ ٱلَّذِي يَفْعَلُهَا سَيَحْيَا بِهَا».

And the law is not from faith, but the man who does them will live in them.

١٣ 13 اَلْمَسِيحُ ٱفْتَدَانَا مِنْ لَعْنَةِ ٱلنَّامُوسِ، إِذْ صَارَ لَعْنَةً لِأَجْلِنَا، لِأَنَّهُ مَكْتُوبٌ: «مَلْعُونٌ كُلُّ مَنْ عُلِّقَ عَلَى خَشَبَةٍ».

Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us. For it is written, Cursed is every man who hangs on a tree.

١٤ 14 لِتَصِيرَ بَرَكَةُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ لِلْأُمَمِ فِي ٱلْمَسِيحِ يَسُوعَ، لِنَنَالَ بِٱلْإِيمَانِ مَوْعِدَ ٱلرُّوحِ.

So that the blessing of Abraham might occur for the Gentiles in Christ Jesus, so that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through the faith.

١٥ 15 أَيُّهَا ٱلْإِخْوَةُ، بِحَسَبِ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ أَقُولُ: لَيْسَ أَحَدٌ يُبْطِلُ عَهْدًا قَدْ تَمَكَّنَ وَلَوْ مِنْ إِنْسَانٍ، أَوْ يَزِيدُ عَلَيْهِ.

Brothers (I speak according to a man), in the same way of a man, no man annuls or adds to a contract that has been ratified.

١٦ 16 وَأَمَّا ٱلْمَوَاعِيدُ فَقِيلَتْ فِي إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَفِي نَسْلِهِ. لَا يَقُولُ: «وَفِي ٱلْأَنْسَالِ» كَأَنَّهُ عَنْ كَثِيرِينَ، بَلْ كَأَنَّهُ عَنْ وَاحِدٍ: «وَفِي نَسْلِكَ» ٱلَّذِي هُوَ ٱلْمَسِيحُ.

Now the promises were spoken to Abraham and to his seed. He does not say, And to the seeds, as of many, but as of one, And to thy seed, who is Christ.

١٧ 17 وَإِنَّمَا أَقُولُ هَذَا: إِنَّ ٱلنَّامُوسَ ٱلَّذِي صَارَ بَعْدَ أَرْبَعِمِئَةٍ وَثَلَاثِينَ سَنَةً، لَا يَنْسَخُ عَهْدًا قَدْ سَبَقَ فَتَمَكَّنَ مِنَ ٱللهِ نَحْوَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ حَتَّى يُبَطِّلَ ٱلْمَوْعِدَ.

And I say this, a covenant previously confirmed by God in Christ, the law, which happened four hundred and thirty years after, does not annul in order to make the promise useless.

١٨ 18 لِأَنَّهُ إِنْ كَانَتِ ٱلْوِرَاثَةُ مِنَ ٱلنَّامُوسِ، فَلَمْ تَكُنْ أَيْضًا مِنْ مَوْعِدٍ. وَلَكِنَّ ٱللهَ وَهَبَهَا لِإِبْرَاهِيمَ بِمَوْعِدٍ.

For if the inheritance is from law, it is no longer from promise. But God has given it to Abraham through promise.

١٩ 19 فَلِمَاذَا ٱلنَّامُوسُ؟ قَدْ زِيدَ بِسَبَبِ ٱلتَّعَدِّيَاتِ، إِلَى أَنْ يَأْتِيَ ٱلنَّسْلُ ٱلَّذِي قَدْ وُعِدَ لَهُ، مُرَتَّبًا بِمَلَائِكَةٍ فِي يَدِ وَسِيطٍ.

Why then the law? It was added on account of transgressions, until the seed would come to whom it was promised, which was arranged through agents in the hand of a mediator.

٢٠ 20 وَأَمَّا ٱلْوَسِيطُ فَلَا يَكُونُ لِوَاحِدٍ. وَلَكِنَّ ٱللهَ وَاحِدٌ.

Now a mediator is not of one, but God is one.

٢١ 21 فَهَلِ ٱلنَّامُوسُ ضِدُّ مَوَاعِيدِ ٱللهِ؟ حَاشَا! لِأَنَّهُ لَوْ أُعْطِيَ نَامُوسٌ قَادِرٌ أَنْ يُحْيِيَ، لَكَانَ بِٱلْحَقِيقَةِ ٱلْبِرُّ بِٱلنَّامُوسِ.

Is the law therefore against the promises of God? May it not happen! For if a law was given that could make alive, truly righteousness would be from law.

٢٢ 22 لَكِنَّ ٱلْكِتَابَ أَغْلَقَ عَلَى ٱلْكُلِّ تَحْتَ ٱلْخَطِيَّةِ، لِيُعْطَى ٱلْمَوْعِدُ مِنْ إِيمَانِ يَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ لِلَّذِينَ يُؤْمِنُونَ.

But scripture confined all things under sin, so that the promise from faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe.

٢٣ 23 وَلَكِنْ قَبْلَمَا جَاءَ ٱلْإِيمَانُ كُنَّا مَحْرُوسِينَ تَحْتَ ٱلنَّامُوسِ، مُغْلَقًا عَلَيْنَا إِلَى ٱلْإِيمَانِ ٱلْعَتِيدِ أَنْ يُعْلَنَ.

But before faith came we were kept in custody under law, having been confined for faith that was going to be revealed.

٢٤ 24 إِذًا قَدْ كَانَ ٱلنَّامُوسُ مُؤَدِّبَنَا إِلَى ٱلْمَسِيحِ، لِكَيْ نَتَبَرَّرَ بِٱلْإِيمَانِ.

So that the law became our schoolmaster for Christ, so that we might be made righteous from faith.

٢٥ 25 وَلَكِنْ بَعْدَ مَا جَاءَ ٱلْإِيمَانُ، لَسْنَا بَعْدُ تَحْتَ مُؤَدِّبٍ.

But faith having come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster.

٢٦ 26 لِأَنَّكُمْ جَمِيعًا أَبْنَاءُ ٱللهِ بِٱلْإِيمَانِ بِٱلْمَسِيحِ يَسُوعَ.

For ye are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus.

٢٧ 27 لِأَنَّ كُلَّكُمُ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱعْتَمَدْتُمْ بِٱلْمَسِيحِ قَدْ لَبِسْتُمُ ٱلْمَسِيحَ:

For as many as were immersed into Christ have put on Christ.

٢٨ 28 لَيْسَ يَهُودِيٌّ وَلَا يُونَانِيٌّ. لَيْسَ عَبْدٌ وَلَا حُرٌّ. لَيْسَ ذَكَرٌ وَأُنْثَى، لِأَنَّكُمْ جَمِيعًا وَاحِدٌ فِي ٱلْمَسِيحِ يَسُوعَ.

There is no Jew nor Greek, there is no bondman nor freeman, there is no male and female, for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.

٢٩ 29 فَإِنْ كُنْتُمْ لِلْمَسِيحِ، فَأَنْتُمْ إِذًا نَسْلُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، وَحَسَبَ ٱلْمَوْعِدِ وَرَثَةٌ.

And if ye are Christ's, then ye are Abraham's seed and heirs according to promise.
