رُوما 10

١ 1 أَيُّهَا الإِخْوَةُ، إِنَّ رَغْبَةَ قَلْبِي وَتَضَرُّعِي إِلَى اللهِ لأَجْلِهِمْ، هُمَا أَنْ يَخْلُصُوا.

Brothers, the desire of my heart and my prayer to God is that Israel may be saved.

٢ 2 فَإِنِّي أَشْهَدُ لَهُمْ أَنَّ عِنْدَهُمْ غَيْرَةً لِلهِ، وَلكِنَّهَا لَيْسَتْ عَلَى أَسَاسِ الْمَعْرِفَةِ.

I can testify that they have a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge.

٣ 3 فَبِمَا أَنَّهُمْ جَهِلُوا بِرَّ اللهِ وَسَعَوْا إِلَى إِثْبَاتِ بِرِّهِمِ الذَّاتِيِّ، لَمْ يَخْضَعُوا لِلْبِرِّ الإِلهِيِّ.

For they do not understand the righteousness of God, and by seeking to establish their own righteousness, they have not submitted to God's righteousness.

٤ 4 فَإِنَّ غَايَةَ الشَّرِيعَةِ هِيَ الْمَسِيحُ لِتَبْرِيرِ كُلِّ مَنْ يُؤْمِنُ.

For Christ is the end of the law so that there may be righteousness for everyone who believes.

٥ 5 فَقَدْ كَتَبَ مُوسَى عَنِ الْبِرِّ الآتِي مِنَ الشَّرِيعَةِ: «إِنَّ الإِنْسَانَ الَّذِي يَعْمَلُ بِهذِهِ الأُمُورِ، يَحْيَا بِها».

Moses writes about the righteousness that is by the law: “The person who does these things will live by them.”

٦ 6 غَيْرَ أَنَّ الْبِرَّ الآتِيَ مِنَ الإِيمَانِ يَقُولُ هَذَا: «لا تَقُلْ فِي قَلْبِكَ: مَنْ يَصْعَدُ إِلَى السَّمَاوَاتِ؟» (أَيْ لِيُنْزِلَ الْمَسِيحَ)،

But the righteousness that is by faith speaks like this: “Do not say in yoʋr heart, ‘Who will go up to heaven?’” (that is, to bring Christ down)

٧ 7 وَلا: «مَنْ يَنْزِلُ إِلَى الأَعْمَاقِ؟» أَيْ لِيُصْعِدَ الْمَسِيحَ مِنْ بَيْنِ الأَمْوَاتِ! (Abyssos g12)

“or, ‘Who will go down into the abyss?’” (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead). (Abyssos g12)

٨ 8 فَمَاذَا يَقُولُ إِذاً؟ إِنَّهُ يَقُولُ: «إِنَّ الْكَلِمَةَ قَرِيبَةٌ مِنْكَ. إِنَّهَا فِي فَمِكَ وَفِي قَلْبِكَ!» وَمَا هذِهِ الْكَلِمَةُ إِلّا كَلِمَةُ الإِيمَانِ الَّتِي نُبَشِّرُ بِها:

But what does it say? “The word is near yoʋ, in yoʋr mouth and in yoʋr heart” (that is, the word of faith that we preach),

٩ 9 أَنَّكَ إِنِ اعْتَرَفْتَ بِفَمِكَ بِيَسُوعَ رَبّاً، وَآمَنْتَ فِي قَلْبِكَ بِأَنَّ اللهَ أَقَامَهُ مِنَ الأَمْوَاتِ، نِلْتَ الْخَلاصَ.

because if yoʋ confess with yoʋr mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe with yoʋr heart that God raised him from the dead, yoʋ will be saved.

١٠ 10 فَإِنَّ الإِيمَانَ فِي القَلْبِ يُؤَدِّي إِلَى الْبِرِّ، وَالاعْتِرَافَ بِالْفَمِ يُؤَيِّدُ الْخَلاصَ،

For with the heart belief is exercised, resulting in righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made, resulting in salvation.

١١ 11 لأَنَّ الْكِتَابَ يَقُولُ: «كُلُّ مَنْ هُوَ مُؤْمِنٌ بِهِ، لَا يَخِيبُ».

As the Scripture says, “No one who believes in him will be put to shame.”

١٢ 12 فَلا فَرْقَ بَيْنَ اليَهُودِيِّ وَالْيُونَانِيِّ، لأَنَّ لِلْجَمِيعِ رَبّاً وَاحِداً، غَنِيًّا تُجَاهَ كُلِّ مَنْ يَدْعُوهُ.

For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call upon him.

١٣ 13 «فَإِنَّ كُلَّ مَنْ يَدْعُو بِاسْمِ الرَّبِّ يَخْلُصُ».

For “everyone who calls upon the name of the Lord will be saved.”

١٤ 14 وَلكِنْ، كَيْفَ يَدْعُونَ مَنْ لَمْ يُؤْمِنُوا بِهِ؟ وَكَيْفَ يُؤْمِنُونَ بِمَنْ لَمْ يَسْمَعُوا بِهِ؟ وَكَيْفَ يَسْمَعُونَ بِلا مُبَشِّرٍ؟

How then will they call upon him in whom they have not believed? And how will they believe in him whom they have not heard? And how will they hear without someone preaching?

١٥ 15 وَكَيْفَ يُبَشِّرُ أَحَدٌ إِلّا إِذَا كَانَ قَدْ أُرْسِلَ؟ كَمَا قَدْ كُتِبَ: «مَا أَجْمَلَ أَقْدَامَ الْمُبَشِّرِينَ بِالْخَيْرَاتِ!»

And how will they preach unless they are sent? As it is written, “How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the gospel of peace, who preach good news of good things!”

١٦ 16 وَلكِنْ، لَيْسَ كُلُّهُمْ أَطَاعُوا الإِنْجِيلَ. فَإِنَّ إِشَعْيَاءَ يَقُولُ: «يَا رَبُّ! مَنْ صَدَّقَ مَا أَسْمَعْنَاهُ إِيَّاهُ؟»

But not all the Israelites have obeyed the gospel. For Isaiah says, “Lord, who has believed our report?”

١٧ 17 إِذاً، الإِيمَانُ نَتِيجَةُ السَّمَاعِ، وَالسَّمَاعُ هُوَ مِنَ التَّبْشِيرِ بِكَلِمَةِ الْمَسِيحِ!

So then, faith comes by hearing, and hearing comes through the word of God.

١٨ 18 وَلكِنِّي أَقُولُ: أَمَا سَمِعُوا؟ بَلَى، فَإِنَّ الْمُبَشِّرِينَ «انْطَلَقَ صَوْتُهُمْ إِلَى الأَرْضِ كُلِّهَا، وَكَلامُهُمْ إِلَى أَقَاصِي الْعَالَمِ».

But I ask, have they not heard? On the contrary, “The message has gone out into all the earth, and the words to the ends of the world.”

١٩ 19 وَأَعُودُ فَأَقُولُ: أَمَا فَهِمَ إِسْرَائِيلُ؟ إِنَّ مُوسَى، أَوَّلاً، يَقُولُ: «سَأُثِيرُ غَيْرَتَكُمْ بِمَنْ لَيْسُوا أُمَّةً، وَبِأُمَّةٍ بِلا فَهْمٍ سَوْفَ أُغْضِبُكُمْ!»

Again I ask, did Israel not understand? First Moses says, “I will provoke you to jealousy by that which is not a nation; by a nation that has no understanding I will provoke you to anger.”

٢٠ 20 وَأَمَّا إِشَعْيَاءُ فَيَجْرُؤُ عَلَى الْقَوْلِ: «وَجَدَنِي الَّذِينَ لَمْ يَطْلُبُونِي وَصِرْتُ مُعْلَناً لِلَّذِينَ لَمْ يَبْحَثُوا عَنِّي».

And Isaiah is even bold enough to say, “I was found by those who were not seeking me; I became known to those who were not asking for me.”

٢١ 21 وَلَكِنَّهُ عَنْ إِسْرَائِيلَ يَقُولُ: «طُولَ النَّهَارِ مَدَدْتُ يَدَيَّ إِلَى شَعْبٍ عَاصٍ مُعَارِضٍ!»

But to Israel he says, “All day long I have held out my hands to a disobedient and contrary people.”
