رُوما 3

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

What preferment then hath the Iewe? other what a vauntageth circumcision?

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

Surely very moche. Fyrst vnto them was committed the worde of God

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

What then though some of them did not beleve? shall their vnbeleve make the promes of god with out effecte?

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

God forbid. Let god be true and all men lyars as it is written: That thou myghtest be iustifyed in thy sayinge and shuldest overcome when thou arte iudged.

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

Yf oure vnrightewesnes make the rightewesnes of God more excellent: what shall we saye? Is God vnrighteous which taketh vengeauce? I speake after the maner of me.

٦ 6 حَاشَا! فَكَيْفَ يَدِينُ ٱللهُ ٱلْعَالَمَ إِذْ ذَاكَ؟

God forbid. For how then shall God iudge the worlde?

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

Yf the veritie of God appere moare excellent thorow my lye vnto his prayse why am I hence forth iudged as a synner?

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

and saye not rather (as men evyll speake of vs and as some affirme that we saye) let vs do evyll that good maye come therof. Whose damnacion is iuste.

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

What saye we then? Are we better then they? No in no wyse. For we have all ready proved how that both Iewes and Gentils are all vnder synne

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

as it is writte: There is none righteous no not one:

١١ 11 لَيْسَ مَنْ يَفْهَمُ. لَيْسَ مَنْ يَطْلُبُ ٱللهَ.

There is none that vnderstondith there is none yt seketh after God

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

they are all gone out of ye waye they are all made vnprofytable ther is none that doeth good no not one.

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

Their throte is an open sepulchre with their tounges they have disceaved: the poyson of Aspes is vnder their lippes.

١٤ 14 وَفَمُهُمْ مَمْلُوءٌ لَعْنَةً وَمَرَارَةً.

Whose mouthes are full of coursynge and bitternes.

١٥ 15 أَرْجُلُهُمْ سَرِيعَةٌ إِلَى سَفْكِ ٱلدَّمِ.

Their fete are swyfte to sheed bloud.

١٦ 16 فِي طُرُقِهِمِ ٱغْتِصَابٌ وَسُحْقٌ.

Destruccion and wretchednes are in their wayes.

١٧ 17 وَطَرِيقُ ٱلسَّلَامِ لَمْ يَعْرِفُوهُ.

And the waye of peace they have not knowen.

١٨ 18 لَيْسَ خَوْفُ ٱللهِ قُدَّامَ عُيُونِهِمْ».

There is no feare 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.

Ye and we knowe that whatsoever ye lawe sayth he sayth it to them which are vnder the lawe. That all mouthes maye be stopped and all the worlde be subdued to god

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

because that by ye dedes of the lawe shall no flesshe be iustified in the sight of God. For by the lawe commeth the knowledge of synne.

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

Now verely is ye rigtewesnes that cometh of God declared without the fulfillinge of ye lawe havinge witnes yet of ye lawe and of the Prophetes.

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

The rightewesnes no dout which is good before God cometh by ye fayth of Iesus Christ vnto all and vpon all that beleve. Ther is no differece:

٢٣ 23 إِذِ ٱلْجَمِيعُ أَخْطَأُوا وَأَعْوَزَهُمْ مَجْدُ ٱللهِ،

for all have synned and lacke the prayse yt is of valoure before God:

٢٤ 24 مُتَبَرِّرِينَ مَجَّانًا بِنِعْمَتِهِ بِٱلْفِدَاءِ ٱلَّذِي بِيَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ،

but are iustified frely by his grace through the redemcion that is in Christ Iesu

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

whom God hath made a seate of mercy thorow faith in his bloud to shewe ye rightewesnes which before him is of valoure in yt he forgeveth ye synnes yt are passed which God dyd suffre

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

to shewe at this tyme ye rightewesnes yt is alowed of him yt he myght be couted iuste and a iustifiar of him which belevith on Iesus.

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

Where is then thy reioysinge? It is excluded. By what lawe? by ye lawe of workes? Naye: but by the lawe of fayth.

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

For we suppose that a man is iustified by fayth without the dedes of ye lawe.

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

Is he the God of the Iewes only? Is he not also the God of the Gentyls? Yes eve of the Gentyles also.

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

For it is God only which iustifieth circumcision which is of fayth and vncircumcision thorow fayth.

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

Do we then destroye the lawe thorow fayth? God forbid. But we rather mayntayne the lawe.
