رُوما 12

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

I urge you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God. This is your reasonable service.

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

Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind. Do this to know what is the good, acceptable, and perfect will 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.

For I say, because of the grace that was given to me, that everyone who is among you should not think more highly of themselves than they ought to think. Instead, they should think in a wise way, just as God has given out to each one a certain amount of faith.

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

For we have many members in one body, but not all the members have the same function.

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

In the same way, we who are many are one body in Christ, and are individually members of each other.

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

We have different gifts according to the grace that was given to us. If one's gift is prophecy, let it be done according to the proportion of his faith.

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

If one's gift is service, let him serve. If one has the gift of teaching, let him teach.

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

If one's gift is encouragement, let him encourage. If one's gift is giving, let him do it generously. If one's gift is leading, let it be done with care. If one's gift is in showing mercy, let it be done with cheerfulness.

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

Let love be without hypocrisy. Abhor what is evil; hold on to that which is good.

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

Concerning love of the brothers, be affectionate to one another. Concerning honor, respect one another.

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

Concerning diligence, do not be hesitant. Concerning the spirit, be eager. Concerning the Lord, serve him.

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

Rejoice in certain hope, be patient in suffering, be faithful in prayer.

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

Share in the needs of the saints. Find many ways to show hospitality.

١٤ 14 بَارِكُوا عَلَى ٱلَّذِينَ يَضْطَهِدُونَكُمْ. بَارِكُوا وَلَا تَلْعَنُوا.

Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse.

١٥ 15 فَرَحًا مَعَ ٱلْفَرِحِينَ وَبُكَاءً مَعَ ٱلْبَاكِينَ.

Rejoice with those who rejoice; weep with those who weep.

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

Be of the same mind toward one another. Do not think in proud ways, but accept lowly people. Do not be wise in your own thoughts.

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

Repay no one evil for evil. Do good things in the sight of all people.

١٨ 18 إِنْ كَانَ مُمْكِنًا فَحَسَبَ طَاقَتِكُمْ سَالِمُوا جَمِيعَ ٱلنَّاسِ.

If possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with all people.

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

Do not avenge yourselves, beloved, but give way to the wrath of God. For it is written, “'Vengeance belongs to me; I will repay,' says the Lord.”

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

“But if your enemy is hungry, feed him. If he is thirsty, give him a drink. For if you do this, you will heap coals of fire on his head.”

٢١ 21 لَا يَغْلِبَنَّكَ ٱلشَّرُّ بَلِ ٱغْلِبِ ٱلشَّرَّ بِٱلْخَيْرِ.

Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
