رُوما 12

١ 1 لِذَلِكَ أُنَاشِدُكُمْ أَيُّهَا الإِخْوَةُ، نَظَراً لِمَرَاحِمِ اللهِ، أَنْ تُقَدِّمُوا لَهُ أَجْسَادَكُمْ ذَبِيحَةً حَيَّةً مُقَدَّسَةً مَقْبُولَةً عِنْدَهُ، وَهِيَ عِبَادَتُكُمْ الْعَقْلِيَةُ.

I beseech you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service.

٢ 2 وَلا تَتَشَبَّهُوا بِهَذَا الْعَالَمِ، بَلْ تَغَيَّرُوا بِتَجْدِيدِ الذِّهْنِ، لِتُمَيِّزُوا مَا هِيَ إِرَادَةُ اللهِ الصَّالِحَةُ الْمَقْبُولَةُ الْكَامِلَةُ. (aiōn g165)

And be not conformed to this world: but be you transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. (aiōn g165)

٣ 3 فَإِنِّي، بِالنِّعْمَةِ الْمَوْهُوبَةِ لِي، أُوْصِي كُلَّ وَاحِدٍ بَيْنَكُمْ أَلّا يُقَدِّرَ نَفْسَهُ تَقْدِيراً يَفُوقُ حَقَّهُ، بَلْ أَنْ يَكُونَ مُتَعَقِّلاً فِي تَفْكِيرِهِ، بِحَسَبِ مِقْدَارِ الإِيمَانِ الَّذِي قَسَمَهُ اللهُ لِكُلٍّ مِنْكُمْ.

For I say, through the grace given to me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God has dealt to every man the measure of faith.

٤ 4 فَكَمَا أَنَّ لَنَا فِي جَسَدٍ وَاحِدٍ أَعْضَاءَ كَثِيرَةً، وَلكِنْ لَيْسَ لِجَمِيعِ هذِهِ الأَعْضَاءِ عَمَلٌ وَاحِدٌ،

For as we have many members in one body, and all members have not the same office:

٥ 5 فَكَذَلِكَ نَحْنُ الْكَثِيرِينَ جَسَدٌ وَاحِدٌ فِي الْمَسِيحِ، وَكُلُّنَا أَعْضَاءُ بَعْضُنَا لِبَعْضٍ.

So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another.

٦ 6 وَلكِنْ، بِمَا أَنَّ الْمَوَاهِبَ مُوَزَّعَةٌ بِحَسَبِ النِّعْمَةِ الْمَوْهُوبَةِ لَنَا، (فَلْنُمَارِسْهَا): فَمَنْ وُهِبَ النُّبُوءَةَ، فَلْيَتَنَبَّأْ بِحَسَبِ مِقْدَارِ الإِيمَانِ؛

Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, whether prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of faith;

٧ 7 وَمَنْ وُهِبَ الْخِدْمَةَ، فَلْيَنْهَمِكْ فِي الْخِدْمَةِ؛ أَوِ التَّعْلِيمَ، فَفِي التَّعْلِيمِ؛

Or ministry, let us wait on our ministering: or he that teaches, on teaching;

٨ 8 أَوِ الْوَعْظَ، فَفِي الْوَعْظِ؛ أَوِ الْعَطَاءَ، فَلْيُعْطِ بِسَخَاءٍ؛ أَوِ الْقِيَادَةَ، فَلْيَقُدْ بِاجْتِهَادٍ؛ أَوْ إِظْهَارَ الرَّحْمَةِ، فَلْيَرْحَمْ بِسُرُورٍ.

Or he that exhorts, on exhortation: he that gives, let him do it with simplicity; he that rules, with diligence; he that shows mercy, with cheerfulness.

٩ 9 وَلْتَكُنِ الْمَحَبَّةُ بِلا رِيَاءٍ. انْفُرُوا مِنَ الشَّرِّ، وَالْتَصِقُوا بِالْخَيْرِ.

Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; hold to that which is good.

١٠ 10 أَحِبُّوا بَعْضُكُمْ بَعْضاً مَحَبَّةً أَخَوِيَّةً، مُفَضِّلِينَ بَعْضُكُمْ بَعْضاً فِي الْكَرَامَةِ.

Be kindly affectionate one to another with brotherly love; in honor preferring one another;

١١ 11 لَا تَتَكَاسَلُوا فِي الاجْتِهَادِ، بَلْ كُونُوا مُلْتَهِبِينَ فِي الرُّوحِ، عَابِدِينَ لِلرَّبِّ،

Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord;

١٢ 12 فَرِحِينَ بِالرَّجَاءِ، صَابِرِينَ فِي الضِّيقِ، مُوَاظِبِينَ عَلَى الصَّلاةِ،

Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer;

١٣ 13 مُتَعَاوِنِينَ عَلَى سَدِّ حَاجَاتِ الْقِدِّيسِينَ، مُدَاوِمِينَ عَلَى إِضَافَةِ الْغُرَبَاءِ.

Distributing to the necessity of saints; given to hospitality.

١٤ 14 بَارِكُوا الَّذِينَ يَضْطَهِدُونَكُمْ. بَارِكُوا وَلا تَلْعَنُوا!

Bless them which persecute you: bless, and curse not.

١٥ 15 افْرَحُوا مَعَ الْفَرِحِينَ، وَابْكُوا مَعَ الْبَاكِينَ.

Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep.

١٦ 16 كُونُوا مُتَوَافِقِينَ بَعْضُكُمْ مَعَ بَعْضٍ، غَيْرَ مُهْتَمِّينَ بِالأُمُورِ الْعَالِيَةِ، بَلْ مُسَايِرِينَ ذَوِي الْمَرَاكِزِ الْوَضِيعَةِ. لَا تَكُونُوا حُكَمَاءَ فِي نَظَرِ أَنْفُسِكُمْ.

Be of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high things, but condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own conceits.

١٧ 17 لَا تَرُدُّوا لأَحَدٍ شَرّاً مُقَابِلَ شَرٍّ، بَلِ اجْتَهِدُوا فِي تَقْدِيمِ مَا هُوَ حَسَنٌ أَمَامَ جَمِيعِ النَّاسِ.

Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men.

١٨ 18 إِنْ كَانَ مُمْكِناً، فَمَادَامَ الأَمْرُ يَتَعَلَّقُ بِكُمْ، عِيشُوا فِي سَلامٍ مَعَ جَمِيعِ النَّاسِ.

If it be possible, as much as lies in you, live peaceably with all men.

١٩ 19 لَا تَنْتَقِمُوا لأَنْفُسِكُمْ، أَيُّهَا الأَحِبَّاءُ، بَلْ دَعُوا الْغَضَبَ لِلهِ، لأَنَّهُ قَدْ كُتِبَ: «لِيَ الانْتِقَامُ، أَنَا أُجَازِي، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ».

Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place to wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, says the Lord.

٢٠ 20 وَإِنَّمَا «إِنْ جَاعَ عَدُوُّكَ فَأَطْعِمْهُ، وَإِنْ عَطِشَ فَاسْقِهِ. فَإِنَّكَ، بِعَمَلِكَ هَذَا تَجْمَعُ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ جَمْراً مُشْتَعِلاً».

Therefore if your enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing you shall heap coals of fire on his head.

٢١ 21 لَا تَدَعِ الشَّرَّ يَغْلِبُكَ، بَلِ اغْلِبِ الشَّرَّ بِالْخَيْرِ.

Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.
