رُوما 1

١ 1 بُولُسُ، عَبْدٌ لِيَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ، ٱلْمَدْعُوُّ رَسُولًا، ٱلْمُفْرَزُ لِإِنْجِيلِ ٱللهِ،

Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle and set apart for the gospel of God,

٢ 2 ٱلَّذِي سَبَقَ فَوَعَدَ بِهِ بِأَنْبِيَائِهِ فِي ٱلْكُتُبِ ٱلْمُقَدَّسَةِ،

which he promised beforehand by his prophets in the holy scriptures,

٣ 3 عَنِ ٱبْنِهِ. ٱلَّذِي صَارَ مِنْ نَسْلِ دَاوُدَ مِنْ جِهَةِ ٱلْجَسَدِ،

concerning his Son who was a descendant of David according to the flesh.

٤ 4 وَتَعَيَّنَ ٱبْنَ ٱللهِ بِقُوَّةٍ مِنْ جِهَةِ رُوحِ ٱلْقَدَاسَةِ، بِٱلْقِيَامَةِ مِنَ ٱلْأَمْوَاتِ: يَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ رَبِّنَا.

Through the Spirit of holiness he was declared with power to be the Son of God by the resurrection from the dead, Jesus Christ our Lord.

٥ 5 ٱلَّذِي بِهِ، لِأَجْلِ ٱسْمِهِ، قَبِلْنَا نِعْمَةً وَرِسَالَةً، لِإِطَاعَةِ ٱلْإِيمَانِ فِي جَمِيعِ ٱلْأُمَمِ،

Through him we have received grace and apostleship for obedience of faith among all the nations, for the sake of his name.

٦ 6 ٱلَّذِينَ بَيْنَهُمْ أَنْتُمْ أَيْضًا مَدْعُوُّو يَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ.

Among these nations, you also have been called to belong to Jesus Christ.

٧ 7 إِلَى جَمِيعِ ٱلْمَوْجُودِينَ فِي رُومِيَةَ، أَحِبَّاءَ ٱللهِ، مَدْعُوِّينَ قِدِّيسِينَ: نِعْمَةٌ لَكُمْ وَسَلَامٌ مِنَ ٱللهِ أَبِينَا وَٱلرَّبِّ يَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ.

This letter is to all who are in Rome, the beloved of God, who are called to be holy people. May grace be to you, and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

٨ 8 أَوَّلًا، أَشْكُرُ إِلَهِي بِيَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ مِنْ جِهَةِ جَمِيعِكُمْ، أَنَّ إِيمَانَكُمْ يُنَادَى بِهِ فِي كُلِّ ٱلْعَالَمِ.

First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for all of you, because your faith is proclaimed throughout the whole world.

٩ 9 فَإِنَّ ٱللهَ ٱلَّذِي أَعْبُدُهُ بِرُوحِي، فِي إِنْجِيلِ ٱبْنِهِ، شَاهِدٌ لِي كَيْفَ بِلَا ٱنْقِطَاعٍ أَذْكُرُكُمْ،

For God is my witness, whom I serve in my spirit in the gospel of his Son, of how continually I make mention of you.

١٠ 10 مُتَضَرِّعًا دَائِمًا فِي صَلَوَاتِي عَسَى ٱلْآنَ أَنْ يَتَيَسَّرَ لِي مَرَّةً بِمَشِيئَةِ ٱللهِ أَنْ آتِيَ إِلَيْكُمْ.

I always request in my prayers that by any means I may at last be successful now by the will of God in coming to you.

١١ 11 لِأَنِّي مُشْتَاقٌ أَنْ أَرَاكُمْ، لِكَيْ أَمْنَحَكُمْ هِبَةً رُوحِيَّةً لِثَبَاتِكُمْ،

For I desire to see you, that I may give you some spiritual gift, in order to strengthen you.

١٢ 12 أَيْ لِنَتَعَزَّى بَيْنَكُمْ بِٱلْإِيمَانِ ٱلَّذِي فِينَا جَمِيعًا، إِيمَانِكُمْ وَإِيمَانِي.

That is, I long to be mutually encouraged among you, through each other's faith, yours and mine.

١٣ 13 ثُمَّ لَسْتُ أُرِيدُ أَنْ تَجْهَلُوا أَيُّهَا ٱلْإِخْوَةُ أَنَّنِي مِرَارًا كَثِيرَةً قَصَدْتُ أَنْ آتِيَ إِلَيْكُمْ، وَمُنِعْتُ حَتَّى ٱلْآنَ، لِيَكُونَ لِي ثَمَرٌ فِيكُمْ أَيْضًا كَمَا فِي سَائِرِ ٱلْأُمَمِ.

Now I do not want you to be uninformed, brothers, that I often intended to come to you, (but I was hindered until now), in order to have a harvest among you, just as I have had among the rest of the Gentiles.

١٤ 14 إِنِّي مَدْيُونٌ لِلْيُونَانِيِّينَ وَٱلْبَرَابِرَةِ، لِلْحُكَمَاءِ وَٱلْجُهَلَاءِ.

I am a debtor both to Greeks and to foreigners, both to the wise and to the foolish.

١٥ 15 فَهَكَذَا مَا هُوَ لِي مُسْتَعَدٌّ لِتَبْشِيرِكُمْ أَنْتُمُ ٱلَّذِينَ فِي رُومِيَةَ أَيْضًا،

So, as for me, I am ready to proclaim the gospel also to you who are in Rome.

١٦ 16 لِأَنِّي لَسْتُ أَسْتَحِي بِإِنْجِيلِ ٱلْمَسِيحِ، لِأَنَّهُ قُوَّةُ ٱللهِ لِلْخَلَاصِ لِكُلِّ مَنْ يُؤْمِنُ: لِلْيَهُودِيِّ أَوَّلًا ثُمَّ لِلْيُونَانِيِّ.

For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and for the Greek.

١٧ 17 لِأَنْ فِيهِ مُعْلَنٌ بِرُّ ٱللهِ بِإِيمَانٍ، لِإِيمَانٍ، كَمَا هُوَ مَكْتُوبٌ: «أَمَّا ٱلْبَارُّ فَبِٱلْإِيمَانِ يَحْيَا».

For in it God's righteousness is revealed from faith to faith, as it has been written, “The righteous will live by faith.”

١٨ 18 لِأَنَّ غَضَبَ ٱللهِ مُعْلَنٌ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَاءِ عَلَى جَمِيعِ فُجُورِ ٱلنَّاسِ وَإِثْمِهِمِ، ٱلَّذِينَ يَحْجِزُونَ ٱلْحَقَّ بِٱلْإِثْمِ.

For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of people, who through unrighteousness hold back the truth.

١٩ 19 إِذْ مَعْرِفَةُ ٱللهِ ظَاهِرَةٌ فِيهِمْ، لِأَنَّ ٱللهَ أَظْهَرَهَا لَهُمْ،

This is because that which is known about God is visible to them. For God has enlightened them.

٢٠ 20 لِأَنَّ أُمُورَهُ غَيْرَ ٱلْمَنْظُورَةِ تُرىَ مُنْذُ خَلْقِ ٱلْعَالَمِ مُدْرَكَةً بِٱلْمَصْنُوعَاتِ، قُدْرَتَهُ ٱلسَّرْمَدِيَّةَ وَلَاهُوتَهُ، حَتَّى إِنَّهُمْ بِلَا عُذْرٍ. (aïdios g126)

For his invisible qualities, namely his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse. (aïdios g126)

٢١ 21 لِأَنَّهُمْ لَمَّا عَرَفُوا ٱللهَ لَمْ يُمَجِّدُوهُ أَوْ يَشْكُرُوهُ كَإِلَهٍ، بَلْ حَمِقُوا فِي أَفْكَارِهِمْ، وَأَظْلَمَ قَلْبُهُمُ ٱلْغَبِيُّ.

This is because, although they knew about God, they did not glorify him as God, nor did they give him thanks. Instead, they became foolish in their thoughts, and their senseless hearts were darkened.

٢٢ 22 وَبَيْنَمَا هُمْ يَزْعُمُونَ أَنَّهُمْ حُكَمَاءُ صَارُوا جُهَلَاءَ،

They claimed to be wise, but they became foolish.

٢٣ 23 وَأَبْدَلُوا مَجْدَ ٱللهِ ٱلَّذِي لَا يَفْنَى بِشِبْهِ صُورَةِ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ ٱلَّذِي يَفْنَى، وَٱلطُّيُورِ، وَٱلدَّوَابِّ، وَٱلزَّحَّافَاتِ.

They exchanged the glory of the imperishable God for the likenesses of an image of perishable man, of birds, of four-footed beasts, and of creeping things.

٢٤ 24 لِذَلِكَ أَسْلَمَهُمُ ٱللهُ أَيْضًا فِي شَهَوَاتِ قُلُوبِهِمْ إِلَى ٱلنَّجَاسَةِ، لِإِهَانَةِ أَجْسَادِهِمْ بَيْنَ ذَوَاتِهِمِ.

Therefore God gave them over to the lusts of their hearts for uncleanness, for their bodies to be dishonored among themselves.

٢٥ 25 ٱلَّذِينَ ٱسْتَبْدَلُوا حَقَّ ٱللهِ بِٱلْكَذِبِ، وَٱتَّقَوْا وَعَبَدُوا ٱلْمَخْلُوقَ دُونَ ٱلْخَالِقِ، ٱلَّذِي هُوَ مُبَارَكٌ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ. آمِينَ. (aiōn g165)

It is they who exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and who worshiped and served the creation instead of the Creator, who is praised forever. Amen. (aiōn g165)

٢٦ 26 لِذَلِكَ أَسْلَمَهُمُ ٱللهُ إِلَى أَهْوَاءِ ٱلْهَوَانِ، لِأَنَّ إِنَاثَهُمُ ٱسْتَبْدَلْنَ ٱلٱسْتِعْمَالَ ٱلطَّبِيعِيَّ بِٱلَّذِي عَلَى خِلَافِ ٱلطَّبِيعَةِ،

Because of this, God gave them over to dishonorable passions, for their women exchanged natural relations for those that were unnatural.

٢٧ 27 وَكَذَلِكَ ٱلذُّكُورُ أَيْضًا تَارِكِينَ ٱسْتِعْمَالَ ٱلْأُنْثَى ٱلطَّبِيعِيَّ، ٱشْتَعَلُوا بِشَهْوَتِهِمْ بَعْضِهِمْ لِبَعْضٍ، فَاعِلِينَ ٱلْفَحْشَاءَ ذُكُورًا بِذُكُورٍ، وَنَائِلِينَ فِي أَنْفُسِهِمْ جَزَاءَ ضَلَالِهِمِ ٱلْمُحِقَّ.

Likewise, the men also left their natural relations with women and burned in their lust for one another. These were men who committed shameless acts with men and received in themselves the penalty they deserved for their error.

٢٨ 28 وَكَمَا لَمْ يَسْتَحْسِنُوا أَنْ يُبْقُوا ٱللهَ فِي مَعْرِفَتِهِمْ، أَسْلَمَهُمُ ٱللهُ إِلَى ذِهْنٍ مَرْفُوضٍ لِيَفْعَلُوا مَا لَا يَلِيقُ.

Because they did not approve of having God in their awareness, he gave them up to a depraved mind, for them to do those things that are not proper.

٢٩ 29 مَمْلُوئِينَ مِنْ كُلِّ إِثْمٍ وَزِنًا وَشَرٍّ وَطَمَعٍ وَخُبْثٍ، مَشْحُونِينَ حَسَدًا وَقَتْلًا وَخِصَامًا وَمَكْرًا وَسُوءًا،

They have been filled with all unrighteousness, wickedness, covetousness, and malice. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, and evil intentions. They are gossips,

٣٠ 30 نَمَّامِينَ مُفْتَرِينَ، مُبْغِضِينَ لِلهِ، ثَالِبِينَ مُتَعَظِّمِينَ مُدَّعِينَ، مُبْتَدِعِينَ شُرُورًا، غَيْرَ طَائِعِينَ لِلْوَالِدَيْنِ،

slanderers, haters of God, insolent, arrogant, boastful, inventing ways of doing evil; they are disobedient to parents.

٣١ 31 بِلَا فَهْمٍ وَلَا عَهْدٍ وَلَا حُنُوٍّ وَلَا رِضًى وَلَا رَحْمَةٍ.

They are senseless, faithless, heartless, and unmerciful.

٣٢ 32 ٱلَّذِينَ إِذْ عَرَفُوا حُكْمَ ٱللهِ أَنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ يَعْمَلُونَ مِثْلَ هَذِهِ يَسْتَوْجِبُونَ ٱلْمَوْتَ، لَا يَفْعَلُونَهَا فَقَطْ، بَلْ أَيْضًا يُسَرُّونَ بِٱلَّذِينَ يَعْمَلُونَ.

They understand the regulations of God, that those who practice such things are deserving of death. But not only do they do these things, they also approve of others who do them.
