غَلاطِيَّة 5

١ 1 فَٱثْبُتُوا إِذًا فِي ٱلْحُرِّيَّةِ ٱلَّتِي قَدْ حَرَّرَنَا ٱلْمَسِيحُ بِهَا، وَلَا تَرْتَبِكُوا أَيْضًا بِنِيرِ عُبُودِيَّةٍ.

STAND fast therefore in the liberty with which Christ has made you free, and be not again held under a yoke of bondage.

٢ 2 هَا أَنَا بُولُسُ أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: إِنَّهُ إِنِ ٱخْتَتَنْتُمْ لَا يَنْفَعُكُمُ ٱلْمَسِيحُ شَيْئًا!

Behold, I Paul declare to you, that if ye be circumcised, Christ will be of no advantage to you.

٣ 3 لَكِنْ أَشْهَدُ أَيْضًا لِكُلِّ إِنْسَانٍ مُخْتَتِنٍ أَنَّهُ مُلْتَزِمٌ أَنْ يَعْمَلَ بِكُلِّ ٱلنَّامُوسِ.

And again, I testify to every man who is circumcised, that he is under an obligation to keep the whole law.

٤ 4 قَدْ تَبَطَّلْتُمْ عَنِ ٱلْمَسِيحِ أَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ تَتَبَرَّرُونَ بِٱلنَّامُوسِ. سَقَطْتُمْ مِنَ ٱلنِّعْمَةِ.

Ye have vacated all expectations from Christ, as many of you as are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace.

٥ 5 فَإِنَّنَا بِٱلرُّوحِ مِنَ ٱلْإِيمَانِ نَتَوَقَّعُ رَجَاءَ بِرٍّ.

For we in spirit by faith expect the hope of righteousness.

٦ 6 لِأَنَّهُ فِي ٱلْمَسِيحِ يَسُوعَ لَا ٱلْخِتَانُ يَنْفَعُ شَيْئًا وَلَا ٱلْغُرْلَةُ، بَلِ ٱلْإِيمَانُ ٱلْعَامِلُ بِٱلْمَحَبَّةِ.

For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but faith exerting its energy by love.

٧ 7 كُنْتُمْ تَسْعَوْنَ حَسَنًا. فَمَنْ صَدَّكُمْ حَتَّى لَا تُطَاوِعُوا لِلْحَقِّ؟

Ye were running well: who hath hindered you that ye should not obey the truth?

٨ 8 هَذِهِ ٱلْمُطَاوَعَةُ لَيْسَتْ مِنَ ٱلَّذِي دَعَاكُمْ.

This persuasion cometh not from him who called you.

٩ 9 «خَمِيرَةٌ صَغِيرَةٌ تُخَمِّرُ ٱلْعَجِينَ كُلَّهُ».

A little leaven leaveneth the whole mass.

١٠ 10 وَلَكِنَّنِي أَثِقُ بِكُمْ فِي ٱلرَّبِّ أَنَّكُمْ لَا تَفْتَكِرُونَ شَيْئًا آخَرَ. وَلَكِنَّ ٱلَّذِي يُزْعِجُكُمْ سَيَحْمِلُ ٱلدَّيْنُونَةَ أَيَّ مَنْ كَانَ.

I have confidence in you through the Lord, that ye will be no otherwise minded: but he that troubleth you shall bear condign punishment whosoever he be.

١١ 11 وَأَمَّا أَنَا أَيُّهَا ٱلْإِخْوَةُ فَإِنْ كُنْتُ بَعْدُ أَكْرِزُ بِٱلْخِتَانِ، فَلِمَاذَا أُضْطَهَدُ بَعْدُ؟ إِذًا عَثْرَةُ ٱلصَّلِيبِ قَدْ بَطَلَتْ.

But I, brethren, if I yet preach circumcision, why am I still persecuted? then indeed the offence of the cross is at an end.

١٢ 12 يَالَيْتَ ٱلَّذِينَ يُقْلِقُونَكُمْ يَقْطَعُونَ أَيْضًا!

I wish that they who trouble you were cut off from you.

١٣ 13 فَإِنَّكُمْ إِنَّمَا دُعِيتُمْ لِلْحُرِّيَّةِ أَيُّهَا ٱلْإِخْوَةُ. غَيْرَ أَنَّهُ لَا تُصَيِّرُوا ٱلْحُرِّيَّةَ فُرْصَةً لِلْجَسَدِ، بَلْ بِٱلْمَحَبَّةِ ٱخْدِمُوا بَعْضُكُمْ بَعْضًا.

For ye have been called unto liberty, brethren; only use not that liberty as a pretext for carnality, but in love be subject one to another.

١٤ 14 لِأَنَّ كُلَّ ٱلنَّامُوسِ فِي كَلِمَةٍ وَاحِدَةٍ يُكْمَلُ: «تُحِبُّ قَرِيبَكَ كَنَفْسِكَ».

For the whole law is fulfilled in one word, even in this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

١٥ 15 فَإِذَا كُنْتُمْ تَنْهَشُونَ وَتَأْكُلُونَ بَعْضُكُمْ بَعْضًا، فَٱنْظُرُوا لِئَلَّا تُفْنُوا بَعْضُكُمْ بَعْضًا.

But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not consumed by one another.

١٦ 16 وَإِنَّمَا أَقُولُ: ٱسْلُكُوا بِٱلرُّوحِ فَلَا تُكَمِّلُوا شَهْوَةَ ٱلْجَسَدِ.

But I say, Walk in the Spirit, and ye will not fulfil the lust of the flesh.

١٧ 17 لِأَنَّ ٱلْجَسَدَ يَشْتَهِي ضِدَّ ٱلرُّوحِ وَٱلرُّوحُ ضِدَّ ٱلْجَسَدِ، وَهَذَانِ يُقَاوِمُ أَحَدُهُمَا ٱلْآخَرَ، حَتَّى تَفْعَلُونَ مَا لَا تُرِيدُونَ.

For the flesh hath appetites contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit contrary to the flesh, and these act in opposition the one to the other: so that ye do not the things which ye would.

١٨ 18 وَلَكِنْ إِذَا ٱنْقَدْتُمْ بِٱلرُّوحِ فَلَسْتُمْ تَحْتَ ٱلنَّامُوسِ.

But if ye are under the conduct of the Spirit, ye are not under the law.

١٩ 19 وَأَعْمَالُ ٱلْجَسَدِ ظَاهِرَةٌ، ٱلَّتِي هِيَ: زِنًى، عَهَارَةٌ، نَجَاسَةٌ، دَعَارَةٌ،

Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are these: adultery, whoredom, impurity, lasciviousness,

٢٠ 20 عِبَادَةُ ٱلْأَوْثَانِ، سِحْرٌ، عَدَاوَةٌ، خِصَامٌ، غَيْرَةٌ، سَخَطٌ، تَحَزُّبٌ، شِقَاقٌ، بِدْعَةٌ،

idolatry, magical charms, enmities, strifes, jealousies, animosities, quarrels, divisions, heresies,

٢١ 21 حَسَدٌ، قَتْلٌ، سُكْرٌ، بَطَرٌ، وَأَمْثَالُ هَذِهِ ٱلَّتِي أَسْبِقُ فَأَقُولُ لَكُمْ عَنْهَا كَمَا سَبَقْتُ فَقُلْتُ أَيْضًا: إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ يَفْعَلُونَ مِثْلَ هَذِهِ لَا يَرِثُونَ مَلَكُوتَ ٱللهِ.

envyings, murders, drunkenness, revels, and the like of these, concerning which I tell you now, as I have told you already, that they who live in such practices shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

٢٢ 22 وَأَمَّا ثَمَرُ ٱلرُّوحِ فَهُوَ: مَحَبَّةٌ، فَرَحٌ، سَلَامٌ، طُولُ أَنَاةٍ، لُطْفٌ، صَلَاحٌ، إِيمَانٌ،

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, fidelity,

٢٣ 23 وَدَاعَةٌ، تَعَفُّفٌ. ضِدَّ أَمْثَالِ هَذِهِ لَيْسَ نَامُوسٌ.

meekness, temperance; against such there is no law.

٢٤ 24 وَلَكِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ لِلْمَسِيحِ قَدْ صَلَبُوا ٱلْجَسَدَ مَعَ ٱلْأَهْوَاءِ وَٱلشَّهَوَاتِ.

But they who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and irregular appetites.

٢٥ 25 إِنْ كُنَّا نَعِيشُ بِٱلرُّوحِ، فَلْنَسْلُكْ أَيْضًا بِحَسَبِ ٱلرُّوحِ.

If we live by the Spirit, let us also walk by the Spirit.

٢٦ 26 لَا نَكُنْ مُعْجِبِينَ نُغَاضِبُ بَعْضُنَا بَعْضًا، وَنَحْسِدُ بَعْضُنَا بَعْضًا.

Let us not be vain-glorious, irritating one another, envying one another.
