رُوما 12

١ 1 فَأَطْلُبُ إِلَيْكُمْ أَيُّهَا ٱلْإِخْوَةُ بِرَأْفَةِ ٱللهِ أَنْ تُقَدِّمُوا أَجْسَادَكُمْ ذَبِيحَةً حَيَّةً مُقَدَّسَةً مَرْضِيَّةً عِنْدَ ٱللهِ، عِبَادَتَكُمُ ٱلْعَقْلِيَّةَ.

For this reason I make request to you, brothers, by the mercies of God, that you will give your bodies as a living offering, holy, pleasing to God, which is the worship it is right for you to give him.

٢ 2 وَلَا تُشَاكِلُوا هَذَا ٱلدَّهْرَ، بَلْ تَغَيَّرُوا عَنْ شَكْلِكُمْ بِتَجْدِيدِ أَذْهَانِكُمْ، لِتَخْتَبِرُوا مَا هِيَ إِرَادَةُ ٱللهِ: ٱلصَّالِحَةُ ٱلْمَرْضِيَّةُ ٱلْكَامِلَةُ. (aiōn g165)

And let not your behaviour be like that of this world, but be changed and made new in mind, so that by experience you may have knowledge of the good and pleasing and complete purpose of God. (aiōn g165)

٣ 3 فَإِنِّي أَقُولُ بِٱلنِّعْمَةِ ٱلْمُعْطَاةِ لِي، لِكُلِّ مَنْ هُوَ بَيْنَكُمْ: أَنْ لَا يَرْتَئِيَ فَوْقَ مَا يَنْبَغِي أَنْ يَرْتَئِيَ، بَلْ يَرْتَئِيَ إِلَى ٱلتَّعَقُّلِ، كَمَا قَسَمَ ٱللهُ لِكُلِّ وَاحِدٍ مِقْدَارًا مِنَ ٱلْإِيمَانِ.

But I say to every one of you, through the grace given to me, not to have an over-high opinion of himself, but to have wise thoughts, as God has given to every one a measure of faith.

٤ 4 فَإِنَّهُ كَمَا فِي جَسَدٍ وَاحِدٍ لَنَا أَعْضَاءٌ كَثِيرَةٌ، وَلَكِنْ لَيْسَ جَمِيعُ ٱلْأَعْضَاءِ لَهَا عَمَلٌ وَاحِدٌ،

For, as we have a number of parts in one body, but all the parts have not the same use,

٥ 5 هَكَذَا نَحْنُ ٱلْكَثِيرِينَ: جَسَدٌ وَاحِدٌ فِي ٱلْمَسِيحِ، وَأَعْضَاءٌ بَعْضًا لِبَعْضٍ، كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ لِلْآخَرِ.

So we, though we are a number of persons, are one body in Christ, and are dependent on one another;

٦ 6 وَلَكِنْ لَنَا مَوَاهِبُ مُخْتَلِفَةٌ بِحَسَبِ ٱلنِّعْمَةِ ٱلْمُعْطَاةِ لَنَا: أَنُبُوَّةٌ فَبِٱلنِّسْبَةِ إِلَى ٱلْإِيمَانِ،

And having different qualities by reason of the grace given to us, such as the quality of a prophet, let it be made use of in relation to the measure of our faith;

٧ 7 أَمْ خِدْمَةٌ فَفِي ٱلْخِدْمَةِ، أَمِ ٱلْمُعَلِّمُ فَفِي ٱلتَّعْلِيمِ،

Or the position of a Deacon of the church, let a man give himself to it; or he who has the power of teaching, let him make use of it;

٨ 8 أَمِ ٱلْوَاعِظُ فَفِي ٱلْوَعْظِ، ٱلْمُعْطِي فَبِسَخَاءٍ، ٱلْمُدَبِّرُ فَبِٱجْتِهَادٍ، ٱلرَّاحِمُ فَبِسُرُورٍ.

He who has the power of comforting, let him do so; he who gives, let him give freely; he who has the power of ruling, let him do it with a serious mind; he who has mercy on others, let it be with joy.

٩ 9 اَلْمَحَبَّةُ فَلْتَكُنْ بِلَا رِيَاءٍ. كُونُوا كَارِهِينَ ٱلشَّرَّ، مُلْتَصِقِينَ بِٱلْخَيْرِ.

Let love be without deceit. Be haters of what is evil; keep your minds fixed on what is good.

١٠ 10 وَادِّينَ بَعْضُكُمْ بَعْضًا بِٱلْمَحَبَّةِ ٱلْأَخَوِيَّةِ، مُقَدِّمِينَ بَعْضُكُمْ بَعْضًا فِي ٱلْكَرَامَةِ.

Be kind to one another with a brother's love, putting others before yourselves in honour;

١١ 11 غَيْرَ مُتَكَاسِلِينَ فِي ٱلِٱجْتِهَادِ، حَارِّينَ فِي ٱلرُّوحِ، عَابِدِينَ ٱلرَّبَّ،

Be not slow in your work, but be quick in spirit, as the Lord's servants;

١٢ 12 فَرِحِينَ فِي ٱلرَّجَاءِ، صَابِرِينَ فِي ٱلضِّيْقِ، مُواظِبِينَ عَلَى ٱلصَّلَاةِ،

Being glad in hope, quiet in trouble, at all times given to prayer,

١٣ 13 مُشْتَرِكِينَ فِي ٱحْتِيَاجَاتِ ٱلْقِدِّيسِينَ، عَاكِفِينَ عَلَى إِضَافَةِ ٱلْغُرَبَاءِ.

Giving to the needs of the saints, ready to take people into your houses.

١٤ 14 بَارِكُوا عَلَى ٱلَّذِينَ يَضْطَهِدُونَكُمْ. بَارِكُوا وَلَا تَلْعَنُوا.

Give blessing and not curses to those who are cruel to you.

١٥ 15 فَرَحًا مَعَ ٱلْفَرِحِينَ وَبُكَاءً مَعَ ٱلْبَاكِينَ.

Take part in the joy of those who are glad, and in the grief of those who are sorrowing.

١٦ 16 مُهْتَمِّينَ بَعْضُكُمْ لِبَعْضٍ ٱهْتِمَامًا وَاحِدًا، غَيْرَ مُهْتَمِّينَ بِٱلْأُمُورِ ٱلْعَالِيَةِ بَلْ مُنْقَادِينَ إِلَى ٱلْمُتَّضِعِينَ. لَا تَكُونُوا حُكَمَاءَ عِنْدَ أَنْفُسِكُمْ.

Be in harmony with one another. Do not have a high opinion of yourselves, but be in agreement with common people. Do not give yourselves an air of wisdom.

١٧ 17 لَا تُجَازُوا أَحَدًا عَنْ شَرٍّ بِشَرٍّ. مُعْتَنِينَ بِأُمُورٍ حَسَنَةٍ قُدَّامَ جَمِيعِ ٱلنَّاسِ.

Do not give evil for evil to any man. Let all your business be well ordered in the eyes of all men.

١٨ 18 إِنْ كَانَ مُمْكِنًا فَحَسَبَ طَاقَتِكُمْ سَالِمُوا جَمِيعَ ٱلنَّاسِ.

As far as it is possible for you be at peace with all men.

١٩ 19 لَا تَنْتَقِمُوا لِأَنْفُسِكُمْ أَيُّهَا ٱلْأَحِبَّاءُ، بَلْ أَعْطُوا مَكَانًا لِلْغَضَبِ، لِأَنَّهُ مَكْتُوبٌ: «لِيَ ٱلنَّقْمَةُ أَنَا أُجَازِي، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ».

Do not give punishment for wrongs done to you, dear brothers, but give way to the wrath of God; for it is said in the holy Writings, Punishment is mine, I will give reward, says the Lord.

٢٠ 20 «فَإِنْ جَاعَ عَدُوُّكَ فَأَطْعِمْهُ. وَإِنْ عَطِشَ فَٱسْقِهِ. لِأَنَّكَ إِنْ فَعَلْتَ هَذَا تَجْمَعْ جَمْرَ نَارٍ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ».

But if one who has hate for you is in need of food or of drink, give it to him, for in so doing you will put coals of fire on his head.

٢١ 21 لَا يَغْلِبَنَّكَ ٱلشَّرُّ بَلِ ٱغْلِبِ ٱلشَّرَّ بِٱلْخَيْرِ.

Do not let evil overcome you, but overcome evil by good.
