Galatians 5
1 Stand firm therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and don’t be entangled again with a yoke of bondage.
| إِنَّ الْمَسِيحَ قَدْ حَرَّرَنَا وَأَطْلَقَنَا فِي سَبِيلِ الْحُرِّيَّةِ. فَاثْبُتُوا إِذَنْ، وَلا تَعُودُوا إِلَى الارْتِبَاكِ بِنِيرِ الْعُبُودِيَّةِ. | ١ |
2 Behold, I, Paul, tell you that if you receive circumcision, Christ will profit you nothing.
| هَا أَنَا بُولُسُ أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: إِنْ خُتِنْتُمْ، لَا يَنْفَعُكُمُ الْمَسِيحُ شَيْئاً. | ٢ |
3 Yes, I testify again to every man who receives circumcision that he is a debtor to do the whole law.
| وَأَشْهَدُ مَرَّةً أُخْرَى لِكُلِّ مَخْتُونٍ بِأَنَّهُ مُلْتَزِمٌ أَنْ يَعْمَلَ بِالشَّرِيعَةِ كُلِّهَا. | ٣ |
4 You are alienated from Christ, you who desire to be justified by the law. You have fallen away from grace.
| يَا مَنْ تُرِيدُونَ التَّبْرِيرَ عَنْ طَرِيقِ الشَّرِيعَةِ، قَدْ حُرِمْتُمُ الْمَسِيحَ وَسَقَطْتُمْ مِنَ النِّعْمَةِ! | ٤ |
5 For we through the Spirit, by faith wait for the hope of righteousness.
| فَإِنَّنَا، بِالرُّوحِ وَعَلَى أَسَاسِ الإِيمَانِ، نَنْتَظِرُ الرَّجَاءَ الَّذِي يُنْتِجُهُ الْبِرُّ. | ٥ |
6 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision amounts to anything, but faith working through love.
| فَفِي الْمَسِيحِ يَسُوعَ، لَا نَفْعَ لِلْخِتَانِ وَلا لِعَدَمِ الْخِتَانِ، بَلْ لِلإِيمَانِ الْعَامِلِ بِالْمَحَبَّةِ. | ٦ |
7 You were running well! Who interfered with you that you should not obey the truth?
| كُنْتُمْ تَجْرُونَ جَرْياً جَيِّداً، فَمَنْ أَعَاقَكُمْ حَتَّى لَا تُذْعِنُوا لِلْحَقِّ؟ | ٧ |
8 This persuasion is not from him who calls you.
| هَذَا التَّضْلِيلُ لَيْسَ مِنَ الَّذِي دَعَاكُمْ! | ٨ |
9 A little yeast grows through the whole lump.
| إِنَّ خَمِيرَةً صَغِيرَةً تُخَمِّرُ الْعَجِينَ كُلَّهُ. | ٩ |
10 I have confidence toward you in the Lord that you will think no other way. But he who troubles you will bear his judgment, whoever he is.
| وَلَكِنَّ لِي ثِقَةً بِكُمْ فِي الرَّبِّ أَنَّكُمْ لَنْ تَعْتَنِقُوا رَأْياً آخَرَ. وَكُلُّ مَنْ يُثِيرُ الْبَلْبَلَةَ بَيْنَكُمْ سَيَلْقَى عِقَابَ ذَلِكَ، كَائِناً مَنْ كَانَ. | ١٠ |
11 But I, brothers, if I still preach circumcision, why am I still persecuted? Then the stumbling block of the cross has been removed.
| وَأَمَّا أَنَا، أَيُّهَا الإِخْوَةُ، فَلَوْ صَحَّ أَنَّنِي مَازِلْتُ أَدْعُو إِلَى الْخِتَانِ، فَلِمَاذَا مَازِلْتُ أَلْقَى الاضْطِهَادَ؟ إِذَنْ لَكَانَتِ الْعَثْرَةُ الَّتِي فِي الصَّلِيبِ قَدْ زَالَتْ! | ١١ |
12 I wish that those who disturb you would cut themselves off.
| لَيْتَ الَّذِينَ يُثِيرُونَ الْبَلْبَلَةَ بَيْنَكُمْ يَبْتُرُونَ أَنْفُسَهُمْ! | ١٢ |
13 For you, brothers, were called for freedom. Only don’t use your freedom as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love be servants to one another.
| فَإِنَّمَا إِلَى الْحُرِّيَّةِ قَدْ دُعِيتُمْ، أَيُّهَا الإِخْوَةُ؛ وَلَكِنْ لَا تَتَّخِذُوا مِنَ الْحُرِّيَّةِ ذَرِيعَةً لإِرْضَاءِ الْجَسَدِ، بَلْ بِالْمَحَبَّةِ كُونُوا عَبِيداً فِي خِدْمَةِ أَحَدِكُمُ الآخَرَ. | ١٣ |
14 For the whole law is fulfilled in one word, in this: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”
| فَإِنَّ الشَّرِيعَةَ كُلَّهَا تَتِمُّ فِي وَصِيَّةٍ وَاحِدَةٍ: «أَنْ تُحِبَّ قَرِيبَكَ كَنَفْسِكَ». | ١٤ |
15 But if you bite and devour one another, be careful that you don’t consume one another.
| فَإِذَا كُنْتُمْ تَنْهَشُونَ وَتَفْتَرِسُونَ بَعْضُكُمْ بَعْضاً، فَاحْذَرُوا أَنْ يُفْنِيَ أَحَدُكُمُ الآخَرَ! | ١٥ |
16 But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you won’t fulfill the lust of the flesh.
| إِنَّمَا أَقُولُ: اسْلُكُوا فِي الرُّوحِ. وَعِنْدَئِذٍ لَا تُتَمِّمُونَ شَهْوَةَ الْجَسَدِ أَبَداً. | ١٦ |
17 For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, that you may not do the things that you desire.
| فَإِنَّ الْجَسَدَ يَشْتَهِي بِعَكْسِ الرُّوحِ، وَالرُّوحُ بِعَكْسِ الْجَسَدِ؛ وَهَذَانِ يُقَاوِمُ أَحَدُهُمَا الآخَرَ حَتَّى إِنَّكُمْ لَا تَفْعَلُونَ مَا تَرْغَبُونَ فِيهِ. | ١٧ |
18 But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.
| وَلَكِنْ إِذَا كُنْتُمْ خَاضِعِينَ لِقِيَادَةِ الرُّوحِ، فَلَسْتُمْ فِي حَالِ الْعُبُودِيَّةِ لِلشَّرِيعَةِ. | ١٨ |
19 Now the deeds of the flesh are obvious, which are: adultery, sexual immorality, uncleanness, lustfulness,
| أَمَّا أَعْمَالُ الْجَسَدِ فَظَاهِرَةٌ، وَهِيَ: الزِّنَى وَالنَّجَاسَةُ وَالدَّعَارَةُ، | ١٩ |
20 idolatry, sorcery, hatred, strife, jealousies, outbursts of anger, rivalries, divisions, heresies,
| وَعِبَادَةُ الأَصْنَامِ وَالسِّحْرُ، وَالْعَدَاوَةُ وَالنِّزَاعُ وَالْغَيْرَةُ وَالْغَضَبُ، وَالتَّحَزُّبُ وَالانْقِسَامُ وَالتَّعَصُّبُ، | ٢٠ |
21 envy, murders, drunkenness, orgies, and things like these; of which I forewarn you, even as I also forewarned you, that those who practice such things will not inherit God’s Kingdom.
| وَالْحَسَدُ وَالسُّكْرُ وَالْعَرْبَدَةُ، وَمَا يُشْبِهُ هذِهِ. وَبِالنَّظَرِ إِلَيْهَا، أَقُولُ لَكُمْ الآنَ، كَمَا سَبَقَ أَنْ قُلْتُ أَيْضاً، إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يَفْعَلُونَ مِثْلَ هذِهِ لَنْ يَرِثُوا مَلَكُوتَ اللهِ! | ٢١ |
22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faith,
| وَأَمَّا ثَمَرُ الرُّوحِ فَهُوَ: الْمَحَبَّةُ وَالْفَرَحُ وَالسَّلامُ، وَطُولُ الْبَالِ وَاللُّطْفُ وَالصَّلاحُ، وَالأَمَانَةُ | ٢٢ |
23 gentleness, and self-control. Against such things there is no law.
| وَالْوَدَاعَةُ وَضَبْطُ النَّفْسِ. وَلَيْسَ مِنْ قَانُونٍ يَمْنَعُ مِثْلَ هذِهِ الْفَضَائِلِ. | ٢٣ |
24 Those who belong to Christ have crucified the flesh with its passions and lusts.
| وَلَكِنَّ الَّذِينَ صَارُوا خَاصَّةً لِلْمَسِيحِ، قَدْ صَلَبُوا الْجَسَدَ مَعَ الأَهْوَاءِ وَالشَّهَوَاتِ. | ٢٤ |
25 If we live by the Spirit, let’s also walk by the Spirit.
| إِذَا كُنَّا نَحْيَا بِالرُّوحِ، فَلْنَسْلُكْ أَيْضاً بِالرُّوحِ. | ٢٥ |
26 Let’s not become conceited, provoking one another, and envying one another.
| لَا نَكُنْ طَامِحِينَ إِلَى الْمَجْدِ الْبَاطِلِ، يَسْتَفِزُّ بَعْضُنَا بَعْضاً، وَيَحْسُدُ أَحَدُنَا الآخَرَ! | ٢٦ |
