رُوما 11
| وَهُنَا أَقُولُ: هَلْ رَفَضَ اللهُ شَعْبَهُ؟ حَاشَا! فَأَنَا أَيْضاً إِسْرَائِيلِيٌّ، مِنْ نَسْلِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَمِنْ سِبْطِ بِنْيَامِينَ. | ١ 1 |
Then I say, Did God cast away his people? it could not be so. For I am indeed an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.
| إِنَّ اللهَ لَمْ يَرْفُضْ شَعْبَهُ الَّذِي كَانَ قَدِ اخْتَارَهُ. أَمَا تَعْلَمُونَ مَا يَقُولُهُ الْكِتَابُ فِي أَمْرِ إِيلِيَّا لَمَّا رَفَعَ إِلَى اللهِ شَكْوَى عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ قَائِلاً: | ٢ 2 |
God did not cast away his people whom he foreknew. Do you not know what the scripture says in Elijah, how he makes intercession to God against Israel?
| «يَا رَبُّ؟ قَتَلُوا أَنْبِيَاءَكَ، وَهَدَمُوا مَذَابِحَكَ، وَبَقِيتُ أَنَا وَحْدِي، وَهُمْ يَسْعَوْنَ إِلَى قَتْلِي!» | ٣ 3 |
Lord, they have slain thy prophets, they have digged down thine altars: and I am left alone, and they are seeking my life.
| وَلكِنْ، مَاذَا كَانَ الْجَوَابُ الإِلَهِيُّ لَهُ؟ «أَبْقَيْتُ لِنَفْسِي سَبْعَةَ آلافِ رَجُلٍ لَمْ يَحْنُوا رُكْبَةً لِلْبَعْلِ!» | ٤ 4 |
But what says the answer to him? I have left unto myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to Baal.
| فَكَذَلِكَ، فِي الزَّمَانِ الْحَاضِرِ، مَاتَزَالُ بَقِيَّةٌ اخْتَارَهَا اللهُ بِالنِّعْمَةِ. | ٥ 5 |
Thus then there is even at this time a remnant left according to the election of grace:
| وَلكِنْ، بِمَا أَنَّ ذَلِكَ قَدْ تَمَّ بِالنِّعْمَةِ، فَلَيْسَ بَعْدُ عَلَى أَسَاسِ الأَعْمَالِ، وَإلَّا فَلَيْسَتِ النِّعْمَةُ نِعْمَةً بَعْدُ. | ٦ 6 |
and if by grace, it is not at all by works: since in that case grace is no more grace.
| فَمَا الْخُلاصَةُ إِذاً؟ إِنَّ مَا يَسْعَى إِلَيْهِ إِسْرَائِيلُ لَمْ يَنَالُوهُ، بَلْ نَالَهُ الْمُخْتَارُونَ مِنْهُمْ، وَالْبَاقُونَ عَمِيَتْ بَصَائِرُهُمْ، | ٧ 7 |
What then? Israel did not attain that which he was seeking, but the election obtained it, and the rest were hardened:
| وَفْقاً لِمَا قَدْ كُتِبَ: «أَلْقَى اللهُ عَلَيْهِمْ رُوحَ خُمُولٍ وَأَعْطَاهُمْ عُيُوناً لَا يُبْصِرُونَ بِها، وَآذَاناً لَا يَسْمَعُونَ بِها، حَتَّى هَذَا الْيَوْمِ». | ٨ 8 |
as has been written, God has given them the spirit of slumber, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear, unto this day.
| كَذَلِكَ يَقُولُ دَاوُدُ: «لِتَصِرْ لَهُمْ مَائِدَتُهُمْ فَخّاً وَشَرَكاً وَعَقَبَةً وَعِقَاباً. | ٩ 9 |
And David says, Let their table be made a snare, and a trap, and a stumblingblock, and a recompense unto them:
| لِتُظْلِمْ عُيُونُهُمْ كَيْ لَا يُبْصِرُوا، وَلْتَكُنْ ظُهُورُهُمْ مُنْحَنِيَةً دَائِماً!» | ١٠ 10 |
and let their eyes be darkened, that they may not see, and bow down their back always.
| فَأَقُولُ إِذاً: هَلْ تَعَثَّرُوا لِكَيْ يَسْقُطُوا أَبَداً؟ حَاشَا! بَلْ بِسَقْطَتِهِمْ تَوَفَّرَ الْخَلاصُ لِلأُمَمِ، لَعَلَّ ذلِكَ يُثِيرُ غَيْرَتَهُمْ. | ١١ 11 |
Then I say; Whether did they stumble that they may fall? it could not be so: but by their fall, salvation came to the Gentiles, in order to provoke them to jealousy.
| فَإِذَا كَانَتْ سَقْطَتُهُمْ غِنىً لِلْعَالَمِ، وَخَسَارَتُهُمْ غِنىً لِلأُمَمِ، فَكَمْ بِالأَحْرَى يَكُونُ اكْتِمَالُهُمْ؟ | ١٢ 12 |
But if the fall of them was the riches of the world, and the depletion of them the riches of the Gentiles; how much more their fulness?
| فَإِنِّي أُخَاطِبُكُمْ، أَنْتُمُ الأُمَمَ، بِمَا أَنِّي رَسُولٌ لِلأُمَمِ، مُمَجِّداً رِسَالَتِي، | ١٣ 13 |
But I speak to you Gentiles. Inasmuch then as I am an apostle of the Gentiles, I glorify my ministry:
| لَعَلِّي أُثِيرُ غَيْرَةَ بَنِي جِنْسِي فَأُنْقِذَ بَعْضاً مِنْهُمْ. | ١٤ 14 |
if perchance I may provoke my flesh, and save some of them.
| فَإِذَا كَانَ إِبْعَادُهُمْ فُرْصَةً لِمُصَالَحَةِ الْعَالَمِ، فَمَاذَا يَكُونُ قُبُولُهُمْ إِلّا حَيَاةً مِنْ بَيْنِ الأَمْوَاتِ؟ | ١٥ 15 |
For if the casting away of them was the reconciling of the world, what will their reception be, but life from the dead?
| وَإذَا كَانَتِ الْقِطْعَةُ الأُولَى مِنَ الْعَجِينِ مُقَدَّسَةً، فَالْعَجِينُ كُلُّهُ مُقَدَّسٌ؛ وَإذَا كَانَ أَصْلُ الشَّجَرَةِ مُقَدَّساً، فَالأَغْصَانُ أَيْضاً تَكُونُ مُقَدَّسَةً. | ١٦ 16 |
But if the first fruit was holy, the lump is also: if the root was holy, the branches are also.
| فَإِذَا كَانَتْ بَعْضُ أَغْصَانِ الزَّيْتُونَةِ قَدْ قُطِعَتْ، ثُمَّ طُعِّمْتَ فِيهَا وَأَنْتَ مِنْ زَيْتُونَةٍ بَرِّيَّةٍ، فَصِرْتَ بِذَلِكَ شَرِيكاً فِي أَصْلِ الزَّيْتُونَةِ وَغِذَائِهَا، | ١٧ 17 |
And if certain ones of the branches were broken off, and you being a wild olive-tree are grafted in among them, and have become a partaker of the root of the fatness of the olive-tree;
| فَلا تَفْتَخِرْ عَلَى بَاقِي الأَغْصَانِ. وَإِنْ كُنْتَ تَفْتَخِرُ، فَلَسْتَ أَنْتَ تَحْمِلُ الأَصْلَ، بَلْ هُوَ يَحْمِلُكَ. | ١٨ 18 |
boast not against the branches: but if you boast, you are not bearing the root, but the root you.
| وَلكِنَّكَ قَدْ تَقُولُ: «تِلْكَ الأَغْصَانُ قَدْ قُطِعَتْ لأُطَعَّمَ أَنَا!» | ١٩ 19 |
Then you will say, The branches were broken off, that I may be grafted in.
| صَحِيحٌ! فَهِيَ قُطِعَتْ لِسَبَبِ عَدَمِ الإِيمَانِ، وَأَنْتَ إِنَّمَا تَثْبُتُ بِسَبَبِ الإِيمَانِ. فَلا يَأْخُذْكَ الْغُرُورُ، بَلْ خَفْ | ٢٠ 20 |
Beautifully; they were broken off by unbelief, but you stand by faith, Think not high things, but fear.
| إِنَّ اللهَ رُبَّمَا لَا يُبْقِي عَلَيْكَ مَادَامَ لَمْ يُبْقِ عَلَى الأَغْصَانِ الأَصْلِيَّةِ. | ٢١ 21 |
For if God spared not the natural branches, neither will he spare you.
| فَتَأَمَّلْ إِذاً لُطْفَ اللهِ وَشِدَّتَهُ: أَمَّا الشِّدَّةُ، فَعَلَى الَّذِينَ سَقَطُوا؛ وَأَمَّا لُطْفُ اللهِ فَمِنْ نَحْوِكَ مَادُمْتَ تَثْبُتُ فِي اللُّطْفِ. وَلَوْ لَمْ تَكُنْ ثَابِتاً، لَكُنْتَ أَنْتَ أَيْضاً تُقْطَعُ. | ٢٢ 22 |
Then behold the goodness and severity of God: upon those who fell indeed, severity; but upon you the goodness of God, if you may abide in his goodness: since you too may be cut off.
| وَهُمْ أَيْضاً، إِنْ لَمْ يَثْبُتُوا فِي عَدَمِ الإِيمَان فَسَوْفَ يُطَعَّمُونَ، لأَنَّ اللهَ قَادِرٌ أَنْ يُطَعِّمَهُمْ مِنْ جَدِيدٍ. | ٢٣ 23 |
But these also, if they may not abide in unbelief, shall be grafted in: for God is able to graft them in again.
| فَإِذَا كُنْتَ أَنْتَ قَدْ قُطِعْتَ مِنَ الزَّيْتُونَةِ الْبَرِّيَّةِ الَّتِي تَنْتَمِي إِلَيْهَا أَصْلاً، وَطُعِّمْتَ خِلافاً لِلْعَادَةِ فِي الزَّيْتُونَةِ الْجَيِّدَةِ، فَكَمْ بِالأَحْرَى هَؤُلاءِ، الَّذِينَ هُمْ أَغْصَانٌ أَصْلِيَّةٌ، سَوْفَ يُطَعَّمُونَ فِي زَيْتُونَتِهِمِ الْخَاصَّةِ. | ٢٤ 24 |
For if you, having been cut off the olive tree which is wild by nature, and contrary to nature were grafted into the good olive tree: how much more shall these, who are the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree?
| فَإِنِّي لَا أُرِيدُ، أَيُّهَا الإِخْوَةُ، أَنْ يَخْفَى عَلَيْكُمْ هَذَا السِّرُّ، لِكَيْ لَا تَكُونُوا حُكَمَاءَ فِي نَظَرِ أَنْفُسِكُمْ، وَهُوَ أَنَّ الْعَمَى قَدْ أَصَابَ إِسْرَائِيلَ جُزْئِيًّا إِلَى أَنْ يَتِمَّ دُخُولُ الأُمَمِ. | ٢٥ 25 |
I do not wish you to be ignorant, brethren, as to this mystery, in order that you may not he wise with yourselves, that blindness in part has happened unto Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles may come in;
| وَهكَذَا، سَوْفَ يَخْلُصُ جَمِيعُ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَفْقاً لِمَا قَدْ كُتِبَ: «إِنَّ الْمُنْقِذَ سَيَطْلُعُ مِنْ صِهْيَوْنَ وَيَرُدُّ الإِثْمَ عَنْ يَعْقُوبَ. | ٢٦ 26 |
and so all Israel shall be saved: as has been written, A leader shall come out of Zion, shall turn ungodliness from Jacob.
| وَهَذَا هُوَ الْعَهْدُ مِنِّي لَهُمْ حِينَ أُزِيلُ خَطَايَاهُمْ». | ٢٧ 27 |
And this is the covenant with me unto them, that I may take away their sins.
| فَفِيمَا يَتَعَلَّقُ بِالإِنْجِيلِ، هُمْ أَعْدَاءُ اللهِ مِنْ أَجْلِكُمْ. وَأَمَّا فِيمَا يَتَعَلَّقُ بِالاخْتِيَارِ الإِلهِيِّ فَهُمْ مَحْبُوبُونَ مِنْ أَجْلِ الآبَاءِ. | ٢٨ 28 |
They are enemies indeed, as touching the gospel, for your sakes: but beloved with reference to election for the sake of the fathers:
| فَإِنَّ اللهَ لَا يَتَرَاجَعُ أَبَداً عَنْ هِبَاتِهِ وَدَعْوَتِهِ. | ٢٩ 29 |
for the gifts and calling of God are without repentance.
| وَالْوَاقِعُ أَنَّهُ كَمَا كُنْتُمْ أَنْتُمْ فِي الْمَاضِي غَيْرَ مُطِيعِينَ لِلهِ، وَلَكِنَّكُمُ الآنَ نِلْتُمُ الرَّحْمَةَ مِنْ جَرَّاءِ عَدَمِ طَاعَتِهِمْ هُمْ، | ٣٠ 30 |
For as you at one time were disobedient to God, but now you have received mercy through their disobedience,
| فَكَذَلِكَ الآنَ هُمْ غَيْرُ مُطِيعِينَ لِلهِ. لِيَنَالُوا هُمْ أَيْضاً الرَّحْمَةَ، مِنْ جَرَّاءِ الرَّحْمَةِ الَّتِي نِلْتُمُوهَا أَنْتُمْ. | ٣١ 31 |
even also these were now disobedient, in order that through the mercy shown to you they themselves may now also obtain mercy.
| فَإِنَّ اللهَ حَبَسَ الْجَمِيعَ مَعاً فِي عَدَمِ الطَّاعَةِ لِكَيْ يَرْحَمَهُمْ جَمِيعاً. (eleēsē g1653) | ٣٢ 32 |
For God has shut up all in unbelief, in order that he may have mercy on all. (eleēsē g1653)
| فَمَا أَعْمَقَ غِنَى اللهِ وَحِكْمَتَهُ وَعِلْمَهُ! مَا أَبْعَدَ أَحْكَامَهُ عَنِ الْفَحْصِ وَطُرُقَهُ عَنِ التَّتَبُّعِ! | ٣٣ 33 |
O the depth of the riches of the wisdom of the knowledge of God! His judgments are unsearchable, and his ways past tracing out.
| «لأَنَّهُ مَنْ عَرَفَ فِكْرَ الرَّبِّ؟ أَوْ مَنْ كَانَ لَهُ مُشِيراً؟ | ٣٤ 34 |
For who has known the mind of the Lord? who became his counsellor?
| أَوْ مَنْ أَقْرَضَهُ شَيْئاً حَتَّى يُرَدَّ لَهُ؟» | ٣٥ 35 |
or who has given unto him, and it shall be recompensed unto him again?
