رُوما 10

١ 1 أَيُّهَا ٱلْإِخْوَةُ، إِنَّ مَسَرَّةَ قَلْبِي وَطَلْبَتِي إِلَى ٱللهِ لِأَجْلِ إِسْرَائِيلَ هِيَ لِلْخَلَاصِ.

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

٢ 2 لِأَنِّي أَشْهَدُ لَهُمْ أَنَّ لَهُمْ غَيْرَةً لِلهِ، وَلَكِنْ لَيْسَ حَسَبَ ٱلْمَعْرِفَةِ.

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

٣ 3 لِأَنَّهُمْ إِذْ كَانُوا يَجْهَلُونَ بِرَّ ٱللهِ، وَيَطْلُبُونَ أَنْ يُثْبِتُوا بِرَّ أَنْفُسِهِمْ لَمْ يُخْضَعُوا لِبِرِّ ٱللهِ.

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 لِأَنَّ غَايَةَ ٱلنَّامُوسِ هِيَ: ٱلْمَسِيحُ لِلْبِرِّ لِكُلِّ مَنْ يُؤْمِنُ.

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

٥ 5 لِأَنَّ مُوسَى يَكْتُبُ فِي ٱلْبِرِّ ٱلَّذِي بِٱلنَّامُوسِ: «إِنَّ ٱلْإِنْسَانَ ٱلَّذِي يَفْعَلُهَا سَيَحْيَا بِهَا».

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

٦ 6 وَأَمَّا ٱلْبِرُّ ٱلَّذِي بِٱلْإِيمَانِ فَيَقُولُ هَكَذَا: «لَا تَقُلْ فِي قَلْبِكَ: مَنْ يَصْعَدُ إِلَى ٱلسَّمَاءِ؟» أَيْ لِيُحْدِرَ ٱلْمَسِيحَ،

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 «أَوْ: مَنْ يَهْبِطُ إِلَى ٱلْهَاوِيَةِ؟» أَيْ لِيُصْعِدَ ٱلْمَسِيحَ مِنَ ٱلْأَمْوَاتِ. (Abyssos g12)

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

٨ 8 لَكِنْ مَاذَا يَقُولُ؟ «اَلْكَلِمَةُ قَرِيبَةٌ مِنْكَ، فِي فَمِكَ وَفِي قَلْبِكَ» أَيْ كَلِمَةُ ٱلْإِيمَانِ ٱلَّتِي نَكْرِزُ بِهَا:

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 لِأَنَّكَ إِنِ ٱعْتَرَفْتَ بِفَمِكَ بِٱلرَّبِّ يَسُوعَ، وَآمَنْتَ بِقَلْبِكَ أَنَّ ٱللهَ أَقَامَهُ مِنَ ٱلْأَمْوَاتِ، خَلَصْتَ.

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 لِأَنَّ ٱلْقَلْبَ يُؤْمَنُ بِهِ لِلْبِرِّ، وَٱلْفَمَ يُعْتَرَفُ بِهِ لِلْخَلَاصِ.

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

١١ 11 لِأَنَّ ٱلْكِتَابَ يَقُولُ: «كُلُّ مَنْ يُؤْمِنُ بِهِ لَا يُخْزَى».

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

١٢ 12 لِأَنَّهُ لَا فَرْقَ بَيْنَ ٱلْيَهُودِيِّ وَٱلْيُونَانِيِّ، لِأَنَّ رَبًّا وَاحِدًا لِلْجَمِيعِ، غَنِيًّا لِجَمِيعِ ٱلَّذِينَ يَدْعُونَ بِهِ.

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 لِأَنَّ «كُلَّ مَنْ يَدْعُو بِٱسْمِ ٱلرَّبِّ يَخْلُصُ».

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

١٤ 14 فَكَيْفَ يَدْعُونَ بِمَنْ لَمْ يُؤْمِنُوا بِهِ؟ وَكَيْفَ يُؤْمِنُونَ بِمَنْ لَمْ يَسْمَعُوا بِهِ؟ وَكَيْفَ يَسْمَعُونَ بِلَا كَارِزٍ؟

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 يَكْرِزُونَ إِنْ لَمْ يُرْسَلُوا؟ كَمَا هُوَ مَكْتُوبٌ: «مَا أَجْمَلَ أَقْدَامَ ٱلْمُبَشِّرِينَ بِٱلسَّلَامِ، ٱلْمُبَشِّرِينَ بِٱلْخَيْرَاتِ».

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 لَكِنْ لَيْسَ ٱلْجَمِيعُ قَدْ أَطَاعُوا ٱلْإِنْجِيلَ، لِأَنَّ إِشَعْيَاءَ يَقُولُ: «يَارَبُّ، مَنْ صَدَّقَ خَبَرَنَا؟».

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

١٧ 17 إِذًا ٱلْإِيمَانُ بِٱلْخَبَرِ، وَٱلْخَبَرُ بِكَلِمَةِ ٱللهِ.

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

١٨ 18 لَكِنَّنِي أَقُولُ: أَلَعَلَّهُمْ لَمْ يَسْمَعُوا؟ بَلَى! «إِلَى جَمِيعِ ٱلْأَرْضِ خَرَجَ صَوْتُهُمْ، وَإِلَى أَقَاصِي ٱلْمَسْكُونَةِ أَقْوَالُهُمْ».

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 لَكِنِّي أَقُولُ: أَلَعَلَّ إِسْرَائِيلَ لَمْ يَعْلَمْ؟ أَوَّلًا مُوسَى يَقُولُ: «أَنَا أُغِيرُكُمْ بِمَا لَيْسَ أُمَّةً. بِأُمَّةٍ غَبِيَّةٍ أُغِيظُكُمْ».

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 ثُمَّ إِشَعْيَاءُ يَتَجَاسَرُ وَيَقُولُ: «وُجِدْتُ مِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ لَمْ يَطْلُبُونِي، وَصِرْتُ ظَاهِرًا لِلَّذِينَ لَمْ يَسْأَلُوا 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 أَمَّا مِنْ جِهَةِ إِسْرَائِيلَ فَيَقُولُ: «طُولَ ٱلنَّهَارِ بَسَطْتُ يَدَيَّ إِلَى شَعْبٍ مُعَانِدٍ وَمُقَاوِمٍ».

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