رُوما 3

١ 1 إِذًا مَا هُوَ فَضْلُ ٱلْيَهُودِيِّ، أَوْ مَا هُوَ نَفْعُ ٱلْخِتَانِ؟

What, then, [is] the superiority of the Jew? or what the profit of the circumcision?

٢ 2 كَثِيرٌ عَلَى كُلِّ وَجْهٍ! أَمَّا أَوَّلًا فَلِأَنَّهُمُ ٱسْتُؤْمِنُوا عَلَى أَقْوَالِ ٱللهِ.

much in every way; for first, indeed, that they were intrusted with the oracles of God;

٣ 3 فَمَاذَا إِنْ كَانَ قَوْمٌ لَمْ يَكُونُوا أُمَنَاءَ؟ أَفَلَعَلَّ عَدَمَ أَمَانَتِهِمْ يُبْطِلُ أَمَانَةَ ٱللهِ؟

for what, if certain were faithless? shall their faithlessness the faithfulness of god make useless?

٤ 4 حَاشَا! بَلْ لِيَكُنِ ٱللهُ صَادِقًا وَكُلُّ إِنْسَانٍ كَاذِبًا. كَمَا هُوَ مَكْتُوبٌ: «لِكَيْ تَتَبَرَّرَ فِي كَلَامِكَ، وَتَغْلِبَ مَتَى حُوكِمْتَ».

let it not be! and let God become true, and every man false, according as it hath been written, 'That Thou mayest be declared righteous in Thy words, and mayest overcome in Thy being judged.'

٥ 5 وَلَكِنْ إِنْ كَانَ إِثْمُنَا يُبَيِّنُ بِرَّ ٱللهِ، فَمَاذَا نَقُولُ؟ أَلَعَلَّ ٱللهَ ٱلَّذِي يَجْلِبُ ٱلْغَضَبَ ظَالِمٌ؟ أَتَكَلَّمُ بِحَسَبِ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ.

And, if our unrighteousness God's righteousness doth establish, what shall we say? is God unrighteous who is inflicting the wrath? (after the manner of a man I speak)

٦ 6 حَاشَا! فَكَيْفَ يَدِينُ ٱللهُ ٱلْعَالَمَ إِذْ ذَاكَ؟

let it not be! since how shall God judge the world?

٧ 7 فَإِنَّهُ إِنْ كَانَ صِدْقُ ٱللهِ قَدِ ٱزْدَادَ بِكَذِبِي لِمَجْدِهِ، فَلِمَاذَا أُدَانُ أَنَا بَعْدُ كَخَاطِئٍ؟

for if the truth of God in my falsehood did more abound to His glory, why yet am I also as a sinner judged?

٨ 8 أَمَا كَمَا يُفْتَرَى عَلَيْنَا، وَكَمَا يَزْعُمُ قَوْمٌ أَنَّنَا نَقُولُ: «لِنَفْعَلِ ٱلسَّيِّآتِ لِكَيْ تَأْتِيَ ٱلْخَيْرَاتُ»؟ ٱلَّذِينَ دَيْنُونَتُهُمْ عَادِلَةٌ.

and not, as we are evil spoken of, and as certain affirm us to say — 'We may do the evil things, that the good ones may come?' whose judgment is righteous.

٩ 9 فَمَاذَا إِذًا؟ أَنَحْنُ أَفْضَلُ؟ كَلَّا ٱلْبَتَّةَ! لِأَنَّنَا قَدْ شَكَوْنَا أَنَّ ٱلْيَهُودَ وَٱلْيُونَانِيِّينَ أَجْمَعِينَ تَحْتَ ٱلْخَطِيَّةِ،

What, then? are we better? not at all! for we did before charge both Jews and Greeks with being all under sin,

١٠ 10 كَمَا هُوَ مَكْتُوبٌ: «أَنَّهُ لَيْسَ بَارٌّ وَلَا وَاحِدٌ.

according as it hath been written — 'There is none righteous, not even one;

١١ 11 لَيْسَ مَنْ يَفْهَمُ. لَيْسَ مَنْ يَطْلُبُ ٱللهَ.

There is none who is understanding, there is none who is seeking after God.

١٢ 12 ٱلْجَمِيعُ زَاغُوا وَفَسَدُوا مَعًا. لَيْسَ مَنْ يَعْمَلُ صَلَاحًا لَيْسَ وَلَا وَاحِدٌ.

All did go out of the way, together they became unprofitable, there is none doing good, there is not even one.

١٣ 13 حَنْجَرَتُهُمْ قَبْرٌ مَفْتُوحٌ. بِأَلْسِنَتِهِمْ قَدْ مَكَرُوا. سِمُّ ٱلْأَصْلَالِ تَحْتَ شِفَاهِهِمْ.

A sepulchre opened [is] their throat; with their tongues they used deceit; poison of asps [is] under their lips.

١٤ 14 وَفَمُهُمْ مَمْلُوءٌ لَعْنَةً وَمَرَارَةً.

Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness.

١٥ 15 أَرْجُلُهُمْ سَرِيعَةٌ إِلَى سَفْكِ ٱلدَّمِ.

Swift [are] their feet to shed blood.

١٦ 16 فِي طُرُقِهِمِ ٱغْتِصَابٌ وَسُحْقٌ.

Ruin and misery [are] in their ways.

١٧ 17 وَطَرِيقُ ٱلسَّلَامِ لَمْ يَعْرِفُوهُ.

And a way of peace they did not know.

١٨ 18 لَيْسَ خَوْفُ ٱللهِ قُدَّامَ عُيُونِهِمْ».

There is no fear of God before their eyes.'

١٩ 19 وَنَحْنُ نَعْلَمُ أَنَّ كُلَّ مَا يَقُولُهُ ٱلنَّامُوسُ فَهُوَ يُكَلِّمُ بِهِ ٱلَّذِينَ فِي ٱلنَّامُوسِ، لِكَيْ يَسْتَدَّ كُلُّ فَمٍ، وَيَصِيرَ كُلُّ ٱلْعَالَمِ تَحْتَ قِصَاصٍ مِنَ ٱللهِ.

And we have known that as many things as the law saith, to those in the law it doth speak, that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may come under judgment to God;

٢٠ 20 لِأَنَّهُ بِأَعْمَالِ ٱلنَّامُوسِ كُلُّ ذِي جَسَدٍ لَا يَتَبَرَّرُ أَمَامَهُ. لِأَنَّ بِٱلنَّامُوسِ مَعْرِفَةَ ٱلْخَطِيَّةِ.

wherefore by works of law shall no flesh be declared righteous before Him, for through law is a knowledge of sin.

٢١ 21 وَأَمَّا ٱلْآنَ فَقَدْ ظَهَرَ بِرُّ ٱللهِ بِدُونِ ٱلنَّامُوسِ، مَشْهُودًا لَهُ مِنَ ٱلنَّامُوسِ وَٱلْأَنْبِيَاءِ،

And now apart from law hath the righteousness of God been manifested, testified to by the law and the prophets,

٢٢ 22 بِرُّ ٱللهِ بِٱلْإِيمَانِ بِيَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ، إِلَى كُلِّ وَعَلَى كُلِّ ٱلَّذِينَ يُؤْمِنُونَ. لِأَنَّهُ لَا فَرْقَ.

and the righteousness of God [is] through the faith of Jesus Christ to all, and upon all those believing, — for there is no difference,

٢٣ 23 إِذِ ٱلْجَمِيعُ أَخْطَأُوا وَأَعْوَزَهُمْ مَجْدُ ٱللهِ،

for all did sin, and are come short of the glory of God —

٢٤ 24 مُتَبَرِّرِينَ مَجَّانًا بِنِعْمَتِهِ بِٱلْفِدَاءِ ٱلَّذِي بِيَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ،

being declared righteous freely by His grace through the redemption that [is] in Christ Jesus,

٢٥ 25 ٱلَّذِي قَدَّمَهُ ٱللهُ كَفَّارَةً بِٱلْإِيمَانِ بِدَمِهِ، لِإِظْهَارِ بِرِّهِ، مِنْ أَجْلِ ٱلصَّفْحِ عَنِ ٱلْخَطَايَا ٱلسَّالِفَةِ بِإِمْهَالِ ٱللهِ،

whom God did set forth a mercy seat, through the faith in his blood, for the shewing forth of His righteousness, because of the passing over of the bygone sins in the forbearance of God —

٢٦ 26 لِإِظْهَارِ بِرِّهِ فِي ٱلزَّمَانِ ٱلْحَاضِرِ، لِيَكُونَ بَارًّا وَيُبَرِّرَ مَنْ هُوَ مِنَ ٱلْإِيمَانِ بِيَسُوعَ.

for the shewing forth of His righteousness in the present time, for His being righteous, and declaring him righteous who [is] of the faith of Jesus.

٢٧ 27 فَأَيْنَ ٱلٱفْتِخَارُ؟ قَدِ ٱنْتَفَى. بِأَيِّ نَامُوسٍ؟ أَبِنَامُوسِ ٱلْأَعْمَالِ؟ كَلَّا. بَلْ بِنَامُوسِ ٱلْإِيمَانِ.

Where then [is] the boasting? it was excluded; by what law? of works? no, but by a law of faith:

٢٨ 28 إِذًا نَحْسِبُ أَنَّ ٱلْإِنْسَانَ يَتَبَرَّرُ بِٱلْإِيمَانِ بِدُونِ أَعْمَالِ ٱلنَّامُوسِ.

therefore do we reckon a man to be declared righteous by faith, apart from works of law.

٢٩ 29 أَمِ ٱللهُ لِلْيَهُودِ فَقَطْ؟ أَلَيْسَ لِلْأُمَمِ أَيْضًا؟ بَلَى، لِلْأُمَمِ أَيْضًا.

The God of Jews only [is He], and not also of nations?

٣٠ 30 لِأَنَّ ٱللهَ وَاحِدٌ، هُوَ ٱلَّذِي سَيُبَرِّرُ ٱلْخِتَانَ بِٱلْإِيمَانِ وَٱلْغُرْلَةَ بِٱلْإِيمَانِ.

yes, also of nations; since one [is] God who shall declare righteous the circumcision by faith, and the uncircumcision through the faith.

٣١ 31 أَفَنُبْطِلُ ٱلنَّامُوسَ بِٱلْإِيمَانِ؟ حَاشَا! بَلْ نُثَبِّتُ ٱلنَّامُوسَ.

Law then do we make useless through the faith? let it not be! yea, we do establish law.
