رُوما 11
| وَهُنَا أَقُولُ: هَلْ رَفَضَ اللهُ شَعْبَهُ؟ حَاشَا! فَأَنَا أَيْضاً إِسْرَائِيلِيٌّ، مِنْ نَسْلِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَمِنْ سِبْطِ بِنْيَامِينَ. | ١ 1 |
I say then, did God reject his people? May it never be. For I also am an Israelite, a descendant 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 reject his people, whom he foreknew. Do you not know what the scripture says about Elijah, how he pleaded with God against Israel?
| «يَا رَبُّ؟ قَتَلُوا أَنْبِيَاءَكَ، وَهَدَمُوا مَذَابِحَكَ، وَبَقِيتُ أَنَا وَحْدِي، وَهُمْ يَسْعَوْنَ إِلَى قَتْلِي!» | ٣ 3 |
“Lord, they have killed your prophets, they have broken down your altars. I alone am left, 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 does God's answer say to him? “I have reserved for myself seven thousand men who have not bent the knee to Baal.”
| فَكَذَلِكَ، فِي الزَّمَانِ الْحَاضِرِ، مَاتَزَالُ بَقِيَّةٌ اخْتَارَهَا اللهُ بِالنِّعْمَةِ. | ٥ 5 |
Even so then, at this present time also there is a remnant because of the choice of grace.
| وَلكِنْ، بِمَا أَنَّ ذَلِكَ قَدْ تَمَّ بِالنِّعْمَةِ، فَلَيْسَ بَعْدُ عَلَى أَسَاسِ الأَعْمَالِ، وَإلَّا فَلَيْسَتِ النِّعْمَةُ نِعْمَةً بَعْدُ. | ٦ 6 |
But if it is by grace, it is no longer by works. Otherwise grace would no longer be grace.
| فَمَا الْخُلاصَةُ إِذاً؟ إِنَّ مَا يَسْعَى إِلَيْهِ إِسْرَائِيلُ لَمْ يَنَالُوهُ، بَلْ نَالَهُ الْمُخْتَارُونَ مِنْهُمْ، وَالْبَاقُونَ عَمِيَتْ بَصَائِرُهُمْ، | ٧ 7 |
What then? The thing that Israel was seeking, it did not obtain, but the chosen 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 |
It is just as it is written: “God has given them a spirit of dullness, eyes so that they should not see, and ears so that they should not hear, to this very day.”
| كَذَلِكَ يَقُولُ دَاوُدُ: «لِتَصِرْ لَهُمْ مَائِدَتُهُمْ فَخّاً وَشَرَكاً وَعَقَبَةً وَعِقَاباً. | ٩ 9 |
Then David says, “Let their table become a net and a trap, a stumbling block and a retribution for them.
| لِتُظْلِمْ عُيُونُهُمْ كَيْ لَا يُبْصِرُوا، وَلْتَكُنْ ظُهُورُهُمْ مُنْحَنِيَةً دَائِماً!» | ١٠ 10 |
Let their eyes be darkened so that they may not see, and bend their backs continually.”
| فَأَقُولُ إِذاً: هَلْ تَعَثَّرُوا لِكَيْ يَسْقُطُوا أَبَداً؟ حَاشَا! بَلْ بِسَقْطَتِهِمْ تَوَفَّرَ الْخَلاصُ لِلأُمَمِ، لَعَلَّ ذلِكَ يُثِيرُ غَيْرَتَهُمْ. | ١١ 11 |
I say then, “Did they stumble so as to fall?” May it never be. Instead, by their failure, salvation has come to the Gentiles, in order to provoke them to jealousy.
| فَإِذَا كَانَتْ سَقْطَتُهُمْ غِنىً لِلْعَالَمِ، وَخَسَارَتُهُمْ غِنىً لِلأُمَمِ، فَكَمْ بِالأَحْرَى يَكُونُ اكْتِمَالُهُمْ؟ | ١٢ 12 |
Now if their failure is the riches of the world, and if their loss is the riches of the Gentiles, how much greater will their completion be?
| فَإِنِّي أُخَاطِبُكُمْ، أَنْتُمُ الأُمَمَ، بِمَا أَنِّي رَسُولٌ لِلأُمَمِ، مُمَجِّداً رِسَالَتِي، | ١٣ 13 |
But now I am speaking to you Gentiles, and as long as I am an apostle to the Gentiles, I take pride in my ministry.
| لَعَلِّي أُثِيرُ غَيْرَةَ بَنِي جِنْسِي فَأُنْقِذَ بَعْضاً مِنْهُمْ. | ١٤ 14 |
Perhaps I will provoke to jealousy those who are of my own flesh. Perhaps we will save some of them.
| فَإِذَا كَانَ إِبْعَادُهُمْ فُرْصَةً لِمُصَالَحَةِ الْعَالَمِ، فَمَاذَا يَكُونُ قُبُولُهُمْ إِلّا حَيَاةً مِنْ بَيْنِ الأَمْوَاتِ؟ | ١٥ 15 |
For if their rejection means the reconciliation of the world, what will their acceptance 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 |
If the firstfruits are reserved, so is the lump of dough. If the root is reserved, so are the branches.
| فَإِذَا كَانَتْ بَعْضُ أَغْصَانِ الزَّيْتُونَةِ قَدْ قُطِعَتْ، ثُمَّ طُعِّمْتَ فِيهَا وَأَنْتَ مِنْ زَيْتُونَةٍ بَرِّيَّةٍ، فَصِرْتَ بِذَلِكَ شَرِيكاً فِي أَصْلِ الزَّيْتُونَةِ وَغِذَائِهَا، | ١٧ 17 |
But if some of the branches were broken off, if you, a wild olive branch, were grafted in among them, and if you shared with them in the rich root of the olive tree,
| فَلا تَفْتَخِرْ عَلَى بَاقِي الأَغْصَانِ. وَإِنْ كُنْتَ تَفْتَخِرُ، فَلَسْتَ أَنْتَ تَحْمِلُ الأَصْلَ، بَلْ هُوَ يَحْمِلُكَ. | ١٨ 18 |
do not boast over the branches. But if you do boast, it is not you who supports the root, but the root that supports you.
| وَلكِنَّكَ قَدْ تَقُولُ: «تِلْكَ الأَغْصَانُ قَدْ قُطِعَتْ لأُطَعَّمَ أَنَا!» | ١٩ 19 |
You will say then, “Branches were broken off so that I might be grafted in.”
| صَحِيحٌ! فَهِيَ قُطِعَتْ لِسَبَبِ عَدَمِ الإِيمَانِ، وَأَنْتَ إِنَّمَا تَثْبُتُ بِسَبَبِ الإِيمَانِ. فَلا يَأْخُذْكَ الْغُرُورُ، بَلْ خَفْ | ٢٠ 20 |
That is true. Because of their unbelief they were broken off, but you stand firm because of your faith. Do not think too highly of yourself, but fear.
| إِنَّ اللهَ رُبَّمَا لَا يُبْقِي عَلَيْكَ مَادَامَ لَمْ يُبْقِ عَلَى الأَغْصَانِ الأَصْلِيَّةِ. | ٢١ 21 |
For if God did not spare 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 |
Look at, then, the kind actions and the severity of God: severity came on the Jews who fell, but God's kindness comes on you, if you continue in his kindness. Otherwise you also will be cut off.
| وَهُمْ أَيْضاً، إِنْ لَمْ يَثْبُتُوا فِي عَدَمِ الإِيمَان فَسَوْفَ يُطَعَّمُونَ، لأَنَّ اللهَ قَادِرٌ أَنْ يُطَعِّمَهُمْ مِنْ جَدِيدٍ. | ٢٣ 23 |
And even they, if they do not continue in their unbelief, will 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 were cut out of what is by nature a wild olive tree, and contrary to nature were grafted into a good olive tree, how much more will these Jews, who are the natural branches, be grafted back 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 |
For I do not want you to be uninformed, brothers, of this mystery, in order that you will not be wise in your own thinking. This mystery is that a partial hardening has occurred in Israel, until the completion of the Gentiles come in.
| وَهكَذَا، سَوْفَ يَخْلُصُ جَمِيعُ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَفْقاً لِمَا قَدْ كُتِبَ: «إِنَّ الْمُنْقِذَ سَيَطْلُعُ مِنْ صِهْيَوْنَ وَيَرُدُّ الإِثْمَ عَنْ يَعْقُوبَ. | ٢٦ 26 |
Thus all Israel will be saved, just as it is written: “Out of Zion will come the Deliverer. He will remove ungodliness from Jacob,
| وَهَذَا هُوَ الْعَهْدُ مِنِّي لَهُمْ حِينَ أُزِيلُ خَطَايَاهُمْ». | ٢٧ 27 |
and this will be my covenant with them, when I will take away their sins.”
| فَفِيمَا يَتَعَلَّقُ بِالإِنْجِيلِ، هُمْ أَعْدَاءُ اللهِ مِنْ أَجْلِكُمْ. وَأَمَّا فِيمَا يَتَعَلَّقُ بِالاخْتِيَارِ الإِلهِيِّ فَهُمْ مَحْبُوبُونَ مِنْ أَجْلِ الآبَاءِ. | ٢٨ 28 |
As far as the gospel is concerned, they are enemies for your sake. But as far as election is concerned, they are beloved because of their forefathers.
| فَإِنَّ اللهَ لَا يَتَرَاجَعُ أَبَداً عَنْ هِبَاتِهِ وَدَعْوَتِهِ. | ٢٩ 29 |
For the gifts and the call of God are unchangeable.
| وَالْوَاقِعُ أَنَّهُ كَمَا كُنْتُمْ أَنْتُمْ فِي الْمَاضِي غَيْرَ مُطِيعِينَ لِلهِ، وَلَكِنَّكُمُ الآنَ نِلْتُمُ الرَّحْمَةَ مِنْ جَرَّاءِ عَدَمِ طَاعَتِهِمْ هُمْ، | ٣٠ 30 |
For you were formerly disobedient to God, but now you have received mercy because of their disobedience.
| فَكَذَلِكَ الآنَ هُمْ غَيْرُ مُطِيعِينَ لِلهِ. لِيَنَالُوا هُمْ أَيْضاً الرَّحْمَةَ، مِنْ جَرَّاءِ الرَّحْمَةِ الَّتِي نِلْتُمُوهَا أَنْتُمْ. | ٣١ 31 |
In the same way, now these Jews have been disobedient. The result was that by the mercy shown to you they may also now receive mercy.
| فَإِنَّ اللهَ حَبَسَ الْجَمِيعَ مَعاً فِي عَدَمِ الطَّاعَةِ لِكَيْ يَرْحَمَهُمْ جَمِيعاً. (eleēsē g1653) | ٣٢ 32 |
For God has shut up all into disobedience, in order that he might show mercy on all. (eleēsē g1653)
| فَمَا أَعْمَقَ غِنَى اللهِ وَحِكْمَتَهُ وَعِلْمَهُ! مَا أَبْعَدَ أَحْكَامَهُ عَنِ الْفَحْصِ وَطُرُقَهُ عَنِ التَّتَبُّعِ! | ٣٣ 33 |
Oh, the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and the knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways beyond discovering!
| «لأَنَّهُ مَنْ عَرَفَ فِكْرَ الرَّبِّ؟ أَوْ مَنْ كَانَ لَهُ مُشِيراً؟ | ٣٤ 34 |
“For who has known the mind of the Lord or who has become his advisor?
| أَوْ مَنْ أَقْرَضَهُ شَيْئاً حَتَّى يُرَدَّ لَهُ؟» | ٣٥ 35 |
Or who has first given anything to God, that God must repay him?”
