رُوما 9
| أَقُولُ ٱلصِّدْقَ فِي ٱلْمَسِيحِ، لَا أَكْذِبُ، وَضَمِيرِي شَاهِدٌ لِي بِٱلرُّوحِ ٱلْقُدُسِ: | ١ 1 |
I tell the truth in Christ. I do not lie, and my conscience bears witness with me in the Holy Spirit,
| إِنَّ لِي حُزْنًا عَظِيمًا وَوَجَعًا فِي قَلْبِي لَا يَنْقَطِعُ. | ٢ 2 |
that for me there is great sorrow and unceasing pain in my heart.
| فَإِنِّي كُنْتُ أَوَدُّ لَوْ أَكُونُ أَنَا نَفْسِي مَحْرُومًا مِنَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ لِأَجْلِ إِخْوَتِي أَنْسِبَائِي حَسَبَ ٱلْجَسَدِ، | ٣ 3 |
For I could wish that I myself would be cursed and set apart from Christ for the sake of my brothers, those of my own race according to the flesh.
| ٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ إِسْرَائِيلِيُّونَ، وَلَهُمُ ٱلتَّبَنِّي وَٱلْمَجْدُ وَٱلْعُهُودُ وَٱلِٱشْتِرَاعُ وَٱلْعِبَادَةُ وَٱلْمَوَاعِيدُ، | ٤ 4 |
They are Israelites. They have adoption, the glory, the covenants, the gift of the law, the worship of God, and the promises.
| وَلَهُمُ ٱلْآبَاءُ، وَمِنْهُمُ ٱلْمَسِيحُ حَسَبَ ٱلْجَسَدِ، ٱلْكَائِنُ عَلَى ٱلْكُلِّ إِلَهًا مُبَارَكًا إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ. آمِينَ. (aiōn g165) | ٥ 5 |
Theirs are the ancestors from whom Christ has come with respect to the flesh—he who is God over all. May he be praised forever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
| وَلَكِنْ لَيْسَ هَكَذَا حَتَّى إِنَّ كَلِمَةَ ٱللهِ قَدْ سَقَطَتْ. لِأَنْ لَيْسَ جَمِيعُ ٱلَّذِينَ مِنْ إِسْرَائِيلَ هُمْ إِسْرَائِيلِيُّونَ، | ٦ 6 |
But it is not as though the promises of God have failed. For it is not everyone in Israel who truly belongs to Israel.
| وَلَا لِأَنَّهُمْ مِنْ نَسْلِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ هُمْ جَمِيعًا أَوْلَادٌ. بَلْ «بِإِسْحَاقَ يُدْعَى لَكَ نَسْلٌ». | ٧ 7 |
Neither are all Abraham's descendants truly his children. But, “It is through Isaac that your descendants will be called.”
| أَيْ لَيْسَ أَوْلَادُ ٱلْجَسَدِ هُمْ أَوْلَادَ ٱللهِ، بَلْ أَوْلَادُ ٱلْمَوْعِدِ يُحْسَبُونَ نَسْلًا. | ٨ 8 |
That is, the children of the flesh are not the children of God. But the children of the promise are regarded as descendants.
| لِأَنَّ كَلِمَةَ ٱلْمَوْعِدِ هِيَ هَذِهِ: «أَنَا آتِي نَحْوَ هَذَا ٱلْوَقْتِ وَيَكُونُ لِسَارَةَ ٱبْنٌ». | ٩ 9 |
For this is the word of promise: “At this time I will come, and a son will be given to Sarah.”
| وَلَيْسَ ذَلِكَ فَقَطْ، بَلْ رِفْقَةُ أَيْضًا، وَهِيَ حُبْلَى مِنْ وَاحِدٍ وَهُوَ إِسْحَاقُ أَبُونَا. | ١٠ 10 |
Not only this, but after Rebekah also had conceived by one man, our father Isaac—
| لِأَنَّهُ وَهُمَا لَمْ يُولَدَا بَعْدُ، وَلَا فَعَلَا خَيْرًا أَوْ شَرًّا، لِكَيْ يَثْبُتَ قَصْدُ ٱللهِ حَسَبَ ٱلِٱخْتِيَارِ، لَيْسَ مِنَ ٱلْأَعْمَالِ بَلْ مِنَ ٱلَّذِي يَدْعُو، | ١١ 11 |
for the children were not yet born and had not yet done anything good or bad, so that the purpose of God according to choice might stand, not because of actions, but because of him who calls—
| قِيلَ لَهَا: «إِنَّ ٱلْكَبِيرَ يُسْتَعْبَدُ لِلصَّغِيرِ». | ١٢ 12 |
it was said to her, “The older will serve the younger.”
| كَمَا هُوَ مَكْتُوبٌ: «أَحْبَبْتُ يَعْقُوبَ وَأَبْغَضْتُ عِيسُوَ». | ١٣ 13 |
It is just as had been written: “Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated.”
| فَمَاذَا نَقُولُ؟ أَلَعَلَّ عِنْدَ ٱللهِ ظُلْمًا؟ حَاشَا! | ١٤ 14 |
What then will we say? Is there unrighteousness with God? May it never be.
| لِأَنَّهُ يَقُولُ لِمُوسَى: «إِنِّي أَرْحَمُ مَنْ أَرْحَمُ، وَأَتَرَاءَفُ عَلَى مَنْ أَتَرَاءَفُ». | ١٥ 15 |
For he says to Moses, “I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion.”
| فَإِذًا لَيْسَ لِمَنْ يَشَاءُ وَلَا لِمَنْ يَسْعَى، بَلْ لِلهِ ٱلَّذِي يَرْحَمُ. | ١٦ 16 |
So then, it is not because of him who wills, nor because of him who runs, but because of God, who shows mercy.
| لِأَنَّهُ يَقُولُ ٱلْكِتَابُ لِفِرْعَوْنَ: «إِنِّي لِهَذَا بِعَيْنِهِ أَقَمْتُكَ، لِكَيْ أُظْهِرَ فِيكَ قُوَّتِي، وَلِكَيْ يُنَادَى بِٱسْمِي فِي كُلِّ ٱلْأَرْضِ». | ١٧ 17 |
For the scripture says to Pharaoh, “For this very purpose I raised you up, so that I might demonstrate my power in you, and so that my name might be proclaimed in all the earth.”
| فَإِذًا هُوَ يَرْحَمُ مَنْ يَشَاءُ، وَيُقَسِّي مَنْ يَشَاءُ. | ١٨ 18 |
So then, God has mercy on whom he wishes, and whom he wishes, he makes stubborn.
| فَسَتَقُولُ لِي: «لِمَاذَا يَلُومُ بَعْدُ؟ لِأَنْ مَنْ يُقَاوِمُ مَشِيئَتَهُ؟» | ١٩ 19 |
You will say then to me, “Why does he still find fault? For who has ever withstood his will?”
| بَلْ مَنْ أَنْتَ أَيُّهَا ٱلْإِنْسَانُ ٱلَّذِي تُجَاوِبُ ٱللهَ؟ أَلَعَلَّ ٱلْجِبْلَةَ تَقُولُ لِجَابِلِهَا: «لِمَاذَا صَنَعْتَنِي هَكَذَا؟». | ٢٠ 20 |
On the contrary, man, who are you who answers against God? Will what has been molded say to the one who molds it, “Why did you make me this way?”
| أَمْ لَيْسَ لِلْخَزَّافِ سُلْطَانٌ عَلَى ٱلطِّينِ، أَنْ يَصْنَعَ مِنْ كُتْلَةٍ وَاحِدَةٍ إِنَاءً لِلْكَرَامَةِ وَآخَرَ لِلْهَوَانِ؟ | ٢١ 21 |
Does the potter not have the right over the clay to make from the same lump a container for special use, and another container for daily use?
| فَمَاذَا؟ إِنْ كَانَ ٱللهُ، وَهُوَ يُرِيدُ أَنْ يُظْهِرَ غَضَبَهُ وَيُبَيِّنَ قُوَّتَهُ، ٱحْتَمَلَ بِأَنَاةٍ كَثِيرَةٍ آنِيَةَ غَضَبٍ مُهَيَّأَةً لِلْهَلَاكِ. | ٢٢ 22 |
What if God, who is willing to show his wrath and to make his power known, endured with much patience containers of wrath prepared for destruction?
| وَلِكَيْ يُبَيِّنَ غِنَى مَجْدِهِ عَلَى آنِيَةِ رَحْمَةٍ قَدْ سَبَقَ فَأَعَدَّهَا لِلْمَجْدِ، | ٢٣ 23 |
What if he did this in order that he might make known the riches of his glory upon containers of mercy, which he had previously prepared for glory?
| ٱلَّتِي أَيْضًا دَعَانَا نَحْنُ إِيَّاهَا، لَيْسَ مِنَ ٱلْيَهُودِ فَقَطْ بَلْ مِنَ ٱلْأُمَمِ أَيْضًا. | ٢٤ 24 |
What if he did this also for us, whom he also called, not only from among the Jews, but also from among the Gentiles?
| كَمَا يَقُولُ فِي هُوشَعَ أَيْضًا: «سَأَدْعُو ٱلَّذِي لَيْسَ شَعْبِي شَعْبِي، وَٱلَّتِي لَيْسَتْ مَحْبُوبَةً مَحْبُوبَةً. | ٢٥ 25 |
As he says also in Hosea: “I will call my people who were not my people, and her beloved who was not beloved.
| وَيَكُونُ فِي ٱلْمَوْضِعِ ٱلَّذِي قِيلَ لَهُمْ فِيهِ: لَسْتُمْ شَعْبِي، أَنَّهُ هُنَاكَ يُدْعَوْنَ أَبْنَاءَ ٱللهِ ٱلْحَيِّ». | ٢٦ 26 |
Then it will be that where it was said to them, 'You are not my people,' there they will be called 'sons of the living God.'”
| وَإِشَعْيَاءُ يَصْرُخُ مِنْ جِهَةِ إِسْرَائِيلَ: «وَإِنْ كَانَ عَدَدُ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ كَرَمْلِ ٱلْبَحْرِ، فَٱلْبَقِيَّةُ سَتَخْلُصُ. | ٢٧ 27 |
Isaiah cries out concerning Israel, “Though the number of the children of Israel were as the sand of the sea, it will be a remnant that will be saved,
| لِأَنَّهُ مُتَمِّمُ أَمْرٍ وَقَاضٍ بِٱلْبِرِّ. لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ يَصْنَعُ أَمْرًا مَقْضِيًّا بِهِ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ». | ٢٨ 28 |
for the Lord will carry out his sentence on the earth, completely and without delay.”
| وَكَمَا سَبَقَ إِشَعْيَاءُ فَقَالَ: «لَوْلَا أَنَّ رَبَّ ٱلْجُنُودِ أَبْقَى لَنَا نَسْلًا، لَصِرْنَا مِثْلَ سَدُومَ وَشَابَهْنَا عَمُورَةَ». | ٢٩ 29 |
As Isaiah had said previously, “If the Lord of hosts had not left us descendants, we would be like Sodom, and we would have become like Gomorrah.”
| فَمَاذَا نَقُولُ؟ إِنَّ ٱلْأُمَمَ ٱلَّذِينَ لَمْ يَسْعَوْا فِي أَثَرِ ٱلْبِرِّ أَدْرَكُوا ٱلْبِرَّ، ٱلْبِرَّ ٱلَّذِي بِٱلْإِيمَانِ. | ٣٠ 30 |
What will we say then? That the Gentiles, who were not pursuing righteousness, obtained righteousness, the righteousness by faith.
| وَلَكِنَّ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَهُوَ يَسْعَى فِي أَثَرِ نَامُوسِ ٱلْبِرِّ، لَمْ يُدْرِكْ نَامُوسَ ٱلْبِرِّ! | ٣١ 31 |
But Israel, who did pursue a law of righteousness, did not arrive at it.
| لِمَاذَا؟ لِأَنَّهُ فَعَلَ ذَلِكَ لَيْسَ بِٱلْإِيمَانِ، بَلْ كَأَنَّهُ بِأَعْمَالِ ٱلنَّامُوسِ. فَإِنَّهُمُ ٱصْطَدَمُوا بِحَجَرِ ٱلصَّدْمَةِ، | ٣٢ 32 |
Why not? Because they did not pursue it by faith, but by works. They stumbled over the stone of stumbling,
| كَمَا هُوَ مَكْتُوبٌ: «هَا أَنَا أَضَعُ فِي صِهْيَوْنَ حَجَرَ صَدْمَةٍ وَصَخْرَةَ عَثْرَةٍ، وَكُلُّ مَنْ يُؤْمِنُ بِهِ لَا يُخْزَى». | ٣٣ 33 |
as it has been written, “Look, I am laying in Zion a stone of stumbling and a rock of offense. He who believes in it will not be ashamed.”
