رُوما 3

١ 1 إِذًا مَا هُوَ فَضْلُ ٱلْيَهُودِيِّ، أَوْ مَا هُوَ نَفْعُ ٱلْخِتَانِ؟

What advantage then hath the Jew, or what is the profit of circumcision?

٢ 2 كَثِيرٌ عَلَى كُلِّ وَجْهٍ! أَمَّا أَوَّلًا فَلِأَنَّهُمُ ٱسْتُؤْمِنُوا عَلَى أَقْوَالِ ٱللهِ.

Much every way. First indeed, because the words of God were committed to them.

٣ 3 فَمَاذَا إِنْ كَانَ قَوْمٌ لَمْ يَكُونُوا أُمَنَاءَ؟ أَفَلَعَلَّ عَدَمَ أَمَانَتِهِمْ يُبْطِلُ أَمَانَةَ ٱللهِ؟

For what if some of them have not believed? shall their unbelief make the faith of God without effect? God forbid.

٤ 4 حَاشَا! بَلْ لِيَكُنِ ٱللهُ صَادِقًا وَكُلُّ إِنْسَانٍ كَاذِبًا. كَمَا هُوَ مَكْتُوبٌ: «لِكَيْ تَتَبَرَّرَ فِي كَلَامِكَ، وَتَغْلِبَ مَتَى حُوكِمْتَ».

But God is true; and every man a liar, as it is written, That thou mayest be justified in thy words, and mayest overcome when thou art judged.

٥ 5 وَلَكِنْ إِنْ كَانَ إِثْمُنَا يُبَيِّنُ بِرَّ ٱللهِ، فَمَاذَا نَقُولُ؟ أَلَعَلَّ ٱللهَ ٱلَّذِي يَجْلِبُ ٱلْغَضَبَ ظَالِمٌ؟ أَتَكَلَّمُ بِحَسَبِ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ.

But if our injustice commend the justice of God, what shall we say? Is God unjust, who executeth wrath?

٦ 6 حَاشَا! فَكَيْفَ يَدِينُ ٱللهُ ٱلْعَالَمَ إِذْ ذَاكَ؟

(I speak according to man.) God forbid: otherwise how shall God judge this world?

٧ 7 فَإِنَّهُ إِنْ كَانَ صِدْقُ ٱللهِ قَدِ ٱزْدَادَ بِكَذِبِي لِمَجْدِهِ، فَلِمَاذَا أُدَانُ أَنَا بَعْدُ كَخَاطِئٍ؟

For if the truth of God hath more abounded through my lie, unto his glory, why am I also yet judged as a sinner?

٨ 8 أَمَا كَمَا يُفْتَرَى عَلَيْنَا، وَكَمَا يَزْعُمُ قَوْمٌ أَنَّنَا نَقُولُ: «لِنَفْعَلِ ٱلسَّيِّآتِ لِكَيْ تَأْتِيَ ٱلْخَيْرَاتُ»؟ ٱلَّذِينَ دَيْنُونَتُهُمْ عَادِلَةٌ.

And not rather (as we are slandered, and as some affirm that we say) let us do evil, that there may come good? whose damnation is just.

٩ 9 فَمَاذَا إِذًا؟ أَنَحْنُ أَفْضَلُ؟ كَلَّا ٱلْبَتَّةَ! لِأَنَّنَا قَدْ شَكَوْنَا أَنَّ ٱلْيَهُودَ وَٱلْيُونَانِيِّينَ أَجْمَعِينَ تَحْتَ ٱلْخَطِيَّةِ،

What then? Do we excel them? No, not so. For we have charged both Jews, and Greeks, that they are all under sin.

١٠ 10 كَمَا هُوَ مَكْتُوبٌ: «أَنَّهُ لَيْسَ بَارٌّ وَلَا وَاحِدٌ.

As it is written: There is not any man just.

١١ 11 لَيْسَ مَنْ يَفْهَمُ. لَيْسَ مَنْ يَطْلُبُ ٱللهَ.

There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God.

١٢ 12 ٱلْجَمِيعُ زَاغُوا وَفَسَدُوا مَعًا. لَيْسَ مَنْ يَعْمَلُ صَلَاحًا لَيْسَ وَلَا وَاحِدٌ.

All have turned out of the way; they are become unprofitable together: there is none that doth good, there is not so much as one.

١٣ 13 حَنْجَرَتُهُمْ قَبْرٌ مَفْتُوحٌ. بِأَلْسِنَتِهِمْ قَدْ مَكَرُوا. سِمُّ ٱلْأَصْلَالِ تَحْتَ شِفَاهِهِمْ.

Their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have dealt deceitfully. The venom of asps is under their lips.

١٤ 14 وَفَمُهُمْ مَمْلُوءٌ لَعْنَةً وَمَرَارَةً.

Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness:

١٥ 15 أَرْجُلُهُمْ سَرِيعَةٌ إِلَى سَفْكِ ٱلدَّمِ.

Their feet swift to shed blood:

١٦ 16 فِي طُرُقِهِمِ ٱغْتِصَابٌ وَسُحْقٌ.

Destruction and misery in their ways:

١٧ 17 وَطَرِيقُ ٱلسَّلَامِ لَمْ يَعْرِفُوهُ.

And the way of peace they have not known:

١٨ 18 لَيْسَ خَوْفُ ٱللهِ قُدَّامَ عُيُونِهِمْ».

There is no fear of God before their eyes.

١٩ 19 وَنَحْنُ نَعْلَمُ أَنَّ كُلَّ مَا يَقُولُهُ ٱلنَّامُوسُ فَهُوَ يُكَلِّمُ بِهِ ٱلَّذِينَ فِي ٱلنَّامُوسِ، لِكَيْ يَسْتَدَّ كُلُّ فَمٍ، وَيَصِيرَ كُلُّ ٱلْعَالَمِ تَحْتَ قِصَاصٍ مِنَ ٱللهِ.

Now we know, that what things soever the law speaketh, it speaketh to them that are in the law; that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may be made subject to God.

٢٠ 20 لِأَنَّهُ بِأَعْمَالِ ٱلنَّامُوسِ كُلُّ ذِي جَسَدٍ لَا يَتَبَرَّرُ أَمَامَهُ. لِأَنَّ بِٱلنَّامُوسِ مَعْرِفَةَ ٱلْخَطِيَّةِ.

Because by the works of the law no flesh shall be justified before him. For by the law is the knowledge of sin.

٢١ 21 وَأَمَّا ٱلْآنَ فَقَدْ ظَهَرَ بِرُّ ٱللهِ بِدُونِ ٱلنَّامُوسِ، مَشْهُودًا لَهُ مِنَ ٱلنَّامُوسِ وَٱلْأَنْبِيَاءِ،

But now without the law the justice of God is made manifest, being witnessed by the law and the prophets.

٢٢ 22 بِرُّ ٱللهِ بِٱلْإِيمَانِ بِيَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ، إِلَى كُلِّ وَعَلَى كُلِّ ٱلَّذِينَ يُؤْمِنُونَ. لِأَنَّهُ لَا فَرْقَ.

Even the justice of God, by faith of Jesus Christ, unto all and upon all them that believe in him: for there is no distinction:

٢٣ 23 إِذِ ٱلْجَمِيعُ أَخْطَأُوا وَأَعْوَزَهُمْ مَجْدُ ٱللهِ،

For all have sinned, and do need the glory of God.

٢٤ 24 مُتَبَرِّرِينَ مَجَّانًا بِنِعْمَتِهِ بِٱلْفِدَاءِ ٱلَّذِي بِيَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ،

Being justified freely by his grace, through the redemption, that is in Christ Jesus,

٢٥ 25 ٱلَّذِي قَدَّمَهُ ٱللهُ كَفَّارَةً بِٱلْإِيمَانِ بِدَمِهِ، لِإِظْهَارِ بِرِّهِ، مِنْ أَجْلِ ٱلصَّفْحِ عَنِ ٱلْخَطَايَا ٱلسَّالِفَةِ بِإِمْهَالِ ٱللهِ،

Whom God hath proposed to be a propitiation, through faith in his blood, to the shewing of his justice, for the remission of former sins,

٢٦ 26 لِإِظْهَارِ بِرِّهِ فِي ٱلزَّمَانِ ٱلْحَاضِرِ، لِيَكُونَ بَارًّا وَيُبَرِّرَ مَنْ هُوَ مِنَ ٱلْإِيمَانِ بِيَسُوعَ.

Through the forbearance of God, for the shewing of his justice in this time; that he himself may be just, and the justifier of him, who is of the faith of Jesus Christ.

٢٧ 27 فَأَيْنَ ٱلٱفْتِخَارُ؟ قَدِ ٱنْتَفَى. بِأَيِّ نَامُوسٍ؟ أَبِنَامُوسِ ٱلْأَعْمَالِ؟ كَلَّا. بَلْ بِنَامُوسِ ٱلْإِيمَانِ.

Where is then thy boasting? It is excluded. By what law? Of works? No, but by the law of faith.

٢٨ 28 إِذًا نَحْسِبُ أَنَّ ٱلْإِنْسَانَ يَتَبَرَّرُ بِٱلْإِيمَانِ بِدُونِ أَعْمَالِ ٱلنَّامُوسِ.

For we account a man to be justified by faith, without the works of the law.

٢٩ 29 أَمِ ٱللهُ لِلْيَهُودِ فَقَطْ؟ أَلَيْسَ لِلْأُمَمِ أَيْضًا؟ بَلَى، لِلْأُمَمِ أَيْضًا.

Is he the God of the Jews only? Is he not also of the Gentiles? Yes, of the Gentiles also.

٣٠ 30 لِأَنَّ ٱللهَ وَاحِدٌ، هُوَ ٱلَّذِي سَيُبَرِّرُ ٱلْخِتَانَ بِٱلْإِيمَانِ وَٱلْغُرْلَةَ بِٱلْإِيمَانِ.

For it is one God, that justifieth circumcision by faith, and uncircumcision through faith.

٣١ 31 أَفَنُبْطِلُ ٱلنَّامُوسَ بِٱلْإِيمَانِ؟ حَاشَا! بَلْ نُثَبِّتُ ٱلنَّامُوسَ.

Do we, then, destroy the law through faith? God forbid: but we establish the law.
