رُوما 2

١ 1 لِذَلِكَ أَنْتَ بِلَا عُذْرٍ أَيُّهَا ٱلْإِنْسَانُ، كُلُّ مَنْ يَدِينُ. لِأَنَّكَ فِي مَا تَدِينُ غَيْرَكَ تَحْكُمُ عَلَى نَفْسِكَ. لِأَنَّكَ أَنْتَ ٱلَّذِي تَدِينُ تَفْعَلُ تِلْكَ ٱلْأُمُورَ بِعَيْنِهَا!

There is therefore no excuse for thee, O man, that judgest thy neighbor; for by judging thy neighbor, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest, dost practise the same things.

٢ 2 وَنَحْنُ نَعْلَمُ أَنَّ دَيْنُونَةَ ٱللهِ هِيَ حَسَبُ ٱلْحَقِّ عَلَى ٱلَّذِينَ يَفْعَلُونَ مِثْلَ هَذِهِ.

And we know that the judgment of God is in accordance with truth, in regard to those who practise these things.

٣ 3 أَفَتَظُنُّ هَذَا أَيُّهَا ٱلْإِنْسَانُ ٱلَّذِي تَدِينُ ٱلَّذِينَ يَفْعَلُونَ مِثْلَ هَذِهِ، وَأَنْتَ تَفْعَلُهَا، أَنَّكَ تَنْجُو مِنْ دَيْنُونَةِ ٱللهِ؟

And what thinkest thou, O man, that judgest those who practise these things, while practising them thyself, that thou wilt escape the judgment of God?

٤ 4 أَمْ تَسْتَهِينُ بِغِنَى لُطْفِهِ وَإِمْهَالِهِ وَطُولِ أَنَاتِهِ، غَيْرَ عَالِمٍ أَنَّ لُطْفَ ٱللهِ إِنَّمَا يَقْتَادُكَ إِلَى ٱلتَّوْبَةِ؟

Or wilt thou abuse the riches of his benevolence, and his long suffering, and the opportunity which he giveth thee? And dost thou not know, that the benevolence of God should bring thee to repentance?

٥ 5 وَلَكِنَّكَ مِنْ أَجْلِ قَسَاوَتِكَ وَقَلْبِكَ غَيْرِ ٱلتَّائِبِ، تَذْخَرُ لِنَفْسِكَ غَضَبًا فِي يَوْمِ ٱلْغَضَبِ وَٱسْتِعْلَانِ دَيْنُونَةِ ٱللهِ ٱلْعَادِلَةِ،

But, because of the hardness of thy unrepenting heart, thou art treasuring up a store of wrath against the day of wrath, and against the revelation of the righteous judgment of God:

٦ 6 ٱلَّذِي سَيُجَازِي كُلَّ وَاحِدٍ حَسَبَ أَعْمَالِهِ.

who will recompense to every man, according to his deeds;

٧ 7 أَمَّا ٱلَّذِينَ بِصَبْرٍ فِي ٱلْعَمَلِ ٱلصَّالِحِ يَطْلُبُونَ ٱلْمَجْدَ وَٱلْكَرَامَةَ وَٱلْبَقَاءَ، فَبِٱلْحَيَاةِ ٱلْأَبَدِيَّةِ. (aiōnios g166)

to them who, by perseverance in good works, seek for glory and honor and immortality, to them he will give life eternal; (aiōnios g166)

٨ 8 وَأَمَّا ٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ مِنْ أَهْلِ ٱلتَّحَزُّبِ، وَلَا يُطَاوِعُونَ لِلْحَقِّ بَلْ يُطَاوِعُونَ لِلْإِثْمِ، فَسَخَطٌ وَغَضَبٌ،

but to them who are obstinate and obey not the truth, but obey iniquity, to them he will retribute wrath and ire.

٩ 9 شِدَّةٌ وَضِيقٌ، عَلَى كُلِّ نَفْسِ إِنْسَانٍ يَفْعَلُ ٱلشَّرَّ: ٱلْيَهُودِيِّ أَوَّلًا ثُمَّ ٱلْيُونَانِيِّ.

And tribulation and anguish will be to every man that doeth evil; to the Jews first, and also to the Gentiles:

١٠ 10 وَمَجْدٌ وَكَرَامَةٌ وَسَلَامٌ لِكُلِّ مَنْ يَفْعَلُ ٱلصَّلَاحَ: ٱلْيَهُودِيِّ أَوَّلًا ثُمَّ ٱلْيُونَانِيِّ.

but glory and honor and peace to every one that doeth good; to the Jews first, and also to the Gentiles.

١١ 11 لِأَنْ لَيْسَ عِنْدَ ٱللهِ مُحَابَاةٌ.

For there is no respect of persons with God:

١٢ 12 لِأَنَّ كُلَّ مَنْ أَخْطَأَ بِدُونِ ٱلنَّامُوسِ فَبِدُونِ ٱلنَّامُوسِ يَهْلِكُ. وَكُلُّ مَنْ أَخْطَأَ فِي ٱلنَّامُوسِ فَبِٱلنَّامُوسِ يُدَانُ.

for those without law, who sin, will also perish without law; and those under the law, who sin, will be judged by the law,

١٣ 13 لِأَنْ لَيْسَ ٱلَّذِينَ يَسْمَعُونَ ٱلنَّامُوسَ هُمْ أَبْرَارٌ عِنْدَ ٱللهِ، بَلِ ٱلَّذِينَ يَعْمَلُونَ بِٱلنَّامُوسِ هُمْ يُبَرَّرُونَ.

(for not the hearers of the law, are righteous before God; but the doers of the law are justified;

١٤ 14 لِأَنَّهُ ٱلْأُمَمُ ٱلَّذِينَ لَيْسَ عِنْدَهُمُ ٱلنَّامُوسُ، مَتَى فَعَلُوا بِٱلطَّبِيعَةِ مَا هُوَ فِي ٱلنَّامُوسِ، فَهَؤُلَاءِ إِذْ لَيْسَ لَهُمُ ٱلنَّامُوسُ هُمْ نَامُوسٌ لِأَنْفُسِهِمِ،

for if Gentiles who have not the law, shall, by their nature, do the things of the law; they, while without the law, become a law to themselves:

١٥ 15 ٱلَّذِينَ يُظْهِرُونَ عَمَلَ ٱلنَّامُوسِ مَكْتُوبًا فِي قُلُوبِهِمْ، شَاهِدًا أَيْضًا ضَمِيرُهُمْ وَأَفْكَارُهُمْ فِيمَا بَيْنَهَا مُشْتَكِيَةً أَوْ مُحْتَجَّةً،

and they show the work of the law, as it is inscribed on their heart; and their conscience beareth testimony to them, their own reflections rebuking or vindicating one another, )

١٦ 16 فِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلَّذِي فِيهِ يَدِينُ ٱللهُ سَرَائِرَ ٱلنَّاسِ حَسَبَ إِنْجِيلِي بِيَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ.

in the day in which God will judge the secret actions of men, as my gospel teacheth, by Jesus the Messiah.

١٧ 17 هُوَذَا أَنْتَ تُسَمَّى يَهُودِيًّا، وَتَتَّكِلُ عَلَى ٱلنَّامُوسِ، وَتَفْتَخِرُ بِٱللهِ،

But if thou, who art called a Jew, and reposest thyself on the law, and gloriest in God,

١٨ 18 وَتَعْرِفُ مَشِيئَتَهُ، وَتُمَيِّزُ ٱلْأُمُورَ ٱلْمُتَخَالِفَةَ، مُتَعَلِّمًا مِنَ ٱلنَّامُوسِ.

that thou knowest his good pleasure, and discernest obligations, because thou art instructed in the law;

١٩ 19 وَتَثِقُ أَنَّكَ قَائِدٌ لِلْعُمْيَانِ، وَنُورٌ لِلَّذِينَ فِي ٱلظُّلْمَةِ،

and hast confidence in thyself, that thou art a guide to the blind, and a light to them who are in darkness,

٢٠ 20 وَمُهَذِّبٌ لِلْأَغْبِيَاءِ، وَمُعَلِّمٌ لِلْأَطْفَالِ، وَلَكَ صُورَةُ ٱلْعِلْمِ وَٱلْحَقِّ فِي ٱلنَّامُوسِ.

and an instructor of those lacking knowledge, and a preceptor to the young; and thou hast the appearance of knowledge and of verity in the law:

٢١ 21 فَأَنْتَ إِذًا ٱلَّذِي تُعَلِّمُ غَيْرَكَ، أَلَسْتَ تُعَلِّمُ نَفْسَكَ؟ ٱلَّذِي تَكْرِزُ: أَنْ لَا يُسْرَقَ، أَتَسْرِقُ؟

Thou therefore, who teachest others, teachest thou not thyself? And thou who teachest that men must not steal, dost thou steal?

٢٢ 22 ٱلَّذِي تَقُولُ: أَنْ لَا يُزْنَى، أَتَزْنِي؟ ٱلَّذِي تَسْتَكْرِهُ ٱلْأَوْثَانَ، أَتَسْرِقُ ٱلْهَيَاكِلَ؟

And thou who sayest, Men must not commit adultery, dost thou commit adultery? And thou who contemnest idols, dost thou plunder the sanctuary?

٢٣ 23 ٱلَّذِي تَفْتَخِرُ بِٱلنَّامُوسِ، أَبِتَعَدِّي ٱلنَّامُوسِ تُهِينُ ٱللهَ؟

And thou who gloriest in the law, dost thou, by acting contrary to the law, insult God himself?

٢٤ 24 لِأَنَّ ٱسْمَ ٱللهِ يُجَدَّفُ عَلَيْهِ بِسَبَبِكُمْ بَيْنَ ٱلْأُمَمِ، كَمَا هُوَ مَكْتُوبٌ.

For, the name of God, as it is written, is reviled among the Gentiles on your account.

٢٥ 25 فَإِنَّ ٱلْخِتَانَ يَنْفَعُ إِنْ عَمِلْتَ بِٱلنَّامُوسِ. وَلَكِنْ إِنْ كُنْتَ مُتَعَدِّيًا ٱلنَّامُوسَ، فَقَدْ صَارَ خِتَانُكَ غُرْلَةً!

For circumcision profiteth, indeed, if thou fulfillest the law: but if thou departest from the law, thy circumcision becometh uncircumcision.

٢٦ 26 إِذًا إِنْ كَانَ ٱلْأَغْرَلُ يَحْفَظُ أَحْكَامَ ٱلنَّامُوسِ، أَفَمَا تُحْسَبُ غُرْلَتُهُ خِتَانًا؟

And if uncircumcision should keep the precepts of the law, would not that uncircumcision be accounted as circumcision?

٢٧ 27 وَتَكُونُ ٱلْغُرْلَةُ ٱلَّتِي مِنَ ٱلطَّبِيعَةِ، وَهِيَ تُكَمِّلُ ٱلنَّامُوسَ، تَدِينُكَ أَنْتَ ٱلَّذِي فِي ٱلْكِتَابِ وَٱلْخِتَانِ تَتَعَدَّى ٱلنَّامُوسَ؟

And the uncircumcision, which from its nature fulfilleth the law, will judge thee; who, with the scripture, and with circumcision, transgressest against the law.

٢٨ 28 لِأَنَّ ٱلْيَهُودِيَّ فِي ٱلظَّاهِرِ لَيْسَ هُوَ يَهُودِيًّا، وَلَا ٱلْخِتَانُ ٱلَّذِي فِي ٱلظَّاهِرِ فِي ٱللَّحْمِ خِتَانًا،

For he is not a Jew, who is so in what is external: nor is that circumcision, which is visible in the flesh.

٢٩ 29 بَلِ ٱلْيَهُودِيُّ فِي ٱلْخَفَاءِ هُوَ ٱلْيَهُودِيُّ، وَخِتَانُ ٱلْقَلْبِ بِٱلرُّوحِ لَا بِٱلْكِتَابِ هُوَ ٱلْخِتَانُ، ٱلَّذِي مَدْحُهُ لَيْسَ مِنَ ٱلنَّاسِ بَلْ مِنَ ٱللهِ.

But he is a Jew, who is so in what is hidden: and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter, whose praise is not from men, but from God.
