رُوما 2

١ 1 إِذَنْ، لَا عُذْرَ لَكَ أَيُّهَا الإِنْسَانُ الَّذِي يَدِينُ الآخَرِينَ، كَائِناً مَنْ كُنْتَ. فَإِنَّكَ بِمَا تَدِينُ غَيْرَكَ، تَدِينُ نَفْسَكَ: لأَنَّكَ أَنْتَ الَّذِي تَدِينُ تَفْعَلُ تِلْكَ الأُمُورَ نَفْسَهَا.

Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, every one judging. For in whatsoever thou art judging another, thou art condemning thyself; for thou judging art doing the same things.

٢ 2 وَلَكِنَّنَا نَعْلَمُ أَنَّ دَيْنُونَةَ اللهِ عَلَى الَّذِينَ يَفْعَلُونَ مِثْلَ هذِهِ الأُمُورِ، هِيَ بِحَسَبِ الْحَقِّ.

For we know that the judgment of God according to truth is against those doing such things.

٣ 3 فَهَلْ تَظُنُّ، أَيُّهَا الإِنْسَانُ الَّذِي تَدِينُ مَنْ يَفْعَلُونَ مِثْلَ هذِهِ الأُمُورِ بَيْنَمَا تُمَارِسُهَا أَنْتَ، أَنَّكَ سَتُفْلِتُ مِنْ دَيْنُونَةِ اللهِ؟

But do you consider this, O man, judging those doing such things, and doing the same, that you shall escape the judgment of God?

٤ 4 أَمْ أَنَّكَ تَحْتَقِرُ غِنَى لُطْفِهِ وَصَبْرَهُ وَطُولَ أَنَاتِهِ وَأَنْتَ لَا تَعْرِفُ أَنَّ لُطْفَ اللهِ يَدْفَعُكَ إِلَى التَّوْبَةِ؟

Do you look with contempt upon the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God is leading you to repentance?

٥ 5 وَلكِنَّكَ بِسَبَبِ قَسَاوَتِكَ وَقَلْبِكَ غَيْرِ التَّائِبِ، تَخْزِنُ لِنَفْسِكَ غَضَباً لِيَوْمِ الْغَضَبِ، يَوْمَ تُعْلَنُ دَيْنُونَةُ اللهِ الْعَادِلَةُ.

But according to thy hardness and thy impenitent heart, thou art treasuring up to thyself wrath against the day of wrath and of the revelation of the righteous judgment of God;

٦ 6 فَإِنَّهُ سَيُجَازِي كُلَّ إِنْسَانٍ بِحَسَبِ أَعْمَالِهِ.

who will give to each one according to his works:

٧ 7 فَتَكُونُ الْحَيَاةُ الأَبَدِيَّةُ لِلَّذِينَ يَسْعَوْنَ إِلَى الْمَجْدِ وَالْكَرَامَةِ وَالْخُلُودِ مُثَابِرِينَ عَلَى الْعَمَلِ الصَّالِحِ؛ (aiōnios g166)

to those indeed who with patience of good work are seeking glory and honor and immortality, eternal life: (aiōnios g166)

٨ 8 وَيَكُونُ الْغَضَبُ وَالسُّخْطُ لِلْمُخَاصِمِينَ الَّذِينَ يَرْفُضُونَ الطَّاعَةَ لِلْحَقِّ وَلكِنَّهُمْ يَخْضَعُونَ لِلإِثْمِ.

but to those who are of self-seeking, and disobedient to the truth, but obedient to unrighteousness, there are indignation and wrath.

٩ 9 فَالشِّدَّةُ وَالضِّيقُ عَلَى نَفْسِ كُلِّ إِنْسَانٍ يَعْمَلُ الشَّرَّ، اليَهُودِيِّ أَوَّلاً ثُمَّ الْيُونَانِيِّ؛

Tribulation and anguish upon every soul of man that is working out evil, both the Jew first, and the Greek;

١٠ 10 وَالْمَجْدُ وَالْكَرَامَةُ وَالسَّلامُ لِكُلِّ مَنْ يَعْمَلُ الصَّلاحَ الْيَهُودِيِّ أَوَّلاً، ثُمَّ الْيُونَانِيِّ.

but glory and honor and peace to every one doing good; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.

١١ 11 فَلَيْسَ عِنْدَ اللهِ تَحَيُّزٌ.

For there is no respect of persons with God.

١٢ 12 فَإِنَّ جَمِيعَ الَّذِينَ أَخْطَأُوا وَهُمْ بِلا شَرِيعَةٍ، فَبِلا شَرِيعَةٍ يَهْلِكُونَ؛ وَجَمِيعُ الَّذِينَ أَخْطَأُوا وَهُمْ تَحْتَ الشَّرِيعَةِ، فَبِالشَّرِيعَةِ يُدَانُونَ.

For so many as sinned without law will also perish without law; and so many as sinned under the law shall be judged by the law;

١٣ 13 فَلَيْسَ سَامِعُو الشَّرِيعَةِ هُمُ الأَبْرَارُ أَمَامَ اللهِ؛ بَلِ الْعَامِلُونَ بِالشَّرِيعَةِ يُبَرَّرُونَ.

for the hearers of the law are not righteous with God, but the doers of the law shall be justified.

١٤ 14 إِذَنِ الأُمَمُ الَّذِينَ بِلا شَرِيعَةٍ، عِنْدَمَا يُمَارِسُونَ بِالطَّبِيعَةِ مَا فِي الشَّرِيعَةِ، يَكُونُونَ شَرِيعَةً لأَنْفُسِهِمْ، مَعَ أَنَّ الشَّرِيعَةَ لَيْسَتْ لَهُمْ.

For when the Gentiles, not having the law, may by nature do the things of the law, they, not having the law, are a law unto themselves:

١٥ 15 فَهُمْ يُظْهِرُونَ جَوْهَرَ الشَّرِيعَةِ مَكْتُوباً فِي قُلُوبِهِمْ، وَتَشْهَدُ لِذلِكَ ضَمَائِرُهُمْ وَأَفْكَارُهُمْ فِي دَاخِلِهِمْ، إِذْ تَتَّهِمُهُمْ تَارَةً، وَتَارَةً تُبْرِئُهُمْ.

who show the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience witnessing, and their thoughts accusing or indeed excusing with one another,

١٦ 16 وَيَكُونُ الحُكْمُ يَوْمَ يَدِينُ اللهُ خَفَايَا النَّاسِ، وَفْقاً لإِنْجِيلِي، عَلَى يَدِ يَسُوعَ الْمَسِيحِ.

in the day when God will judge the secrets of men through my gospel according to Jesus Christ.

١٧ 17 وَلكِنْ، إِنْ كُنْتَ تُدْعَى يَهُودِيًّا؛ وَتَتَّكِلُ عَلَى الشَّرِيعَةِ؛ وَتَفْتَخِرُ بِاللهِ؛

But if you are denominated a Jew, and rest in the law, and boast in God,

١٨ 18 وَتُمَيِّزُ مَا هُوَ الأَفْضَلُ بِسَبَبِ مَا تَعَلَّمْتَهُ مِنَ الشَّرِيعَةِ؛

and know his will, and approve the things which are excellent, being taught by the law;

١٩ 19 وَلَكَ ثِقَةٌ فِي نَفْسِكَ بِأَنَّكَ قَائِدٌ لِلْعُمْيَانِ، وَنُورٌ لِلَّذِينَ فِي الظَّلامِ،

and persuade yourself that you are a guide of the blind, a light of those who are in darkness, an instructor of the ignorant,

٢٠ 20 وَمُؤَدِّبٌ لِلْجُهَّالِ، وَمُعَلِّمٌ لِلأَطْفَالِ؛ وَلَكَ فِي الشَّرِيعَةِ صُورَةُ الْمَعْرِفَةِ وَالْحَقِّ؛

a teacher of the juveniles, having a form of knowledge and truth in the law;

٢١ 21 فَأَنْتَ إِذَنْ، يَا مَنْ تُعَلِّمُ غَيْرَكَ، أَمَا تُعَلِّمُ نَفْسَكَ؟ أَنْتَ يَا مَنْ تَعِظُ أَنْ لَا يُسْرَقَ، أَتَسْرِقُ؟

therefore do not you who teach another teach yourself? do you, who preach not to steal, steal?

٢٢ 22 أَنْتَ يَا مَنْ تَنْهَى عَنِ الزِّنَى، أَتَزْنِي؟ أَنْتَ يَا مَنْ تَسْتَنْكِرُ الأَصْنَامَ، أَتَسْرِقُ الْهَيَاكِلَ

do you, who say not to commit adultery, commit adultery? do you, who abominate idolatry, rob temples?

٢٣ 23 الَّذِي تَفْتَخِرُ بِالشَّرِيعَةِ، أَتُهِينُ اللهَ بِمُخَالَفَةِ الشَّرِيعَةِ؟

do you, who boast in the law, through the transgression of the law dishonor God?

٢٤ 24 فَإِنَّ «اسْمَ اللهِ يُجَدَّفُ عَلَيْهِ بَيْنَ الأُمَمِ بِسَبَبِكُمْ»، كَمَا هُوَ مَكْتُوبٌ.

For the name of God is blasphemed by you among the Gentiles, as has been written.

٢٥ 25 فَإِنَّ الْخِتَانَ يَنْفَعُ إِنْ كُنْتَ تَعْمَلُ بِالشَّرِيعَةِ. وَلكِنْ إِنْ كُنْتَ مُخَالِفاً لِلشَّرِيعَةِ، فَقَدْ صَارَ خِتَانُكَ كَأَنَّهُ عَدَمُ خِتَانٍ.

For circumcision indeed profits, if you do the law: but if you be a transgressor of the law, your circumcision has become uncircumcision.

٢٦ 26 إِذَنْ، إِنْ عَمِلَ غَيْرُ الْمَخْتُونِ بِأَحْكَامِ الشَّرِيعَةِ، أَفَلا يُحْسَبُ عَدَمُ خِتَانِهِ كَأَنَّهُ خِتَانٌ؟

Then if uncircumcision may keep the righteousness of the law, will not his uncircumcision be counted for circumcision?

٢٧ 27 وَغَيْرُ الْمَخْتُونِ بِالطَّبِيعَةِ، إِذْ يُتَمِّمُ الشَّرِيعَةَ، يَدِينُكَ أَنْتَ يَا مَنْ تُخَالِفُ الشَّرِيعَةَ وَلَدَيْكَ الْكِتَابُ وَالْخِتَانُ.

and that which is uncircumcision by nature, perfecting the law, will judge you, who through the letter and circumcision are a transgressor of the law.

٢٨ 28 فَلَيْسَ بِيَهُودِيٍّ مَنْ كَانَ يَهُودِيًّا فِي الظَّاهِرِ، وَلا بِخِتَانٍ مَا كَانَ ظَاهِراً فِي اللَّحْمِ.

For he is not a Jew who is one outwardly; neither is circumcision that which is outwardly in the flesh.

٢٩ 29 وَإِنَّمَا الْيَهُودِيُّ هُوَ مَنْ كَانَ يَهُودِيًّا فِي الْبَاطِنِ، وَالْخِتَانُ هُوَ مَا كَانَ خِتَاناً لِلْقَلْبِ بِالرُّوحِ لَا بِالْحَرْفِ. وَهَذَا يَأْتِيهِ الْمَدْحُ لَا مِنَ النَّاسِ بَلْ مِنَ اللهِ!

But he is a Jew, who is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God.
