رُوما 3

١ 1 إِذَنْ، مَا هُوَ فَضْلُ الْيَهُودِيِّ؟ بَلْ مَا هُوَ نَفْعُ الْخِتَانِ؟

What then [is] the superiority of the Jew? Or what [is] the benefit of the circumcision?

٢ 2 إِنَّهُ كَثِيرٌ مِنْ جَمِيعِ الْجِهَاتِ، وَأَهَمُّهَا فِعْلاً أَنَّ أَقْوَالَ اللهِ وُضِعَتْ أَمَانَةً بَيْنَ أَيْدِيهِمْ.

Much in every way; Chiefly indeed for for they were entrusted with the oracles of God.

٣ 3 فَمَاذَا يَحْدُثُ؟ إِنْ كَانَ بَعْضُهُمْ قَدْ خَانُوا الأَمَانَةَ، فَهَلْ يُعَطِّلُ عَدَمُ أَمَانَتِهِمْ أَمَانَةَ اللهِ؟

What for if disbelieved some? Surely not the unbelief of them the faithfulness of God will nullify?

٤ 4 حَاشَا! وَإِنَّمَا، لِيَكُنِ اللهُ صَادِقاً وَكُلُّ إِنْسَانٍ كَاذِباً، كَمَا قَدْ كُتِبَ: «لِكَيْ تَتَبَرَّرَ يَا اللهُ فِي كَلامِكَ، وَتَسُودَ مَتَى حَكَمْتَ».

Never would it be! should it be however God true, every now man a liar (even as *NK(o)*) it has been written: That then You may be justified in the words of You and (will prevail *N(k)O*) in judging You.

٥ 5 وَلَكِنْ، إِنْ كَانَ إِثْمُنَا يُبَيِّنُ بِرَّ اللهِ، فَمَاذَا نَقُولُ؟ أَيَكُونُ اللهُ ظَالِماً إِذَا أَنْزَلَ بِنَا الْغَضَبَ؟ أَتَكَلَّمُ هُنَا بِمَنْطِقِ الْبَشَرِ:

If however the unrighteousness of us God’s righteousness shows, what will we say? Surely not [is] unrighteous God who is inflicting the wrath? According to man I speak;

٦ 6 حَاشَا! وَإلَّا، فَكَيْفَ يَدِينُ اللهُ الْعَالَمَ؟

Never would it be! Otherwise how will judge God the world?

٧ 7 وَلكِنْ، إِنْ كَانَ كَذِبِي يَجْعَلُ صِدْقَ اللهِ يَزْدَادُ لِمَجْدِهِ، فَلِمَاذَا أُدَانُ أَنَا بَعْدُ بِاعْتِبَارِي خَاطِئاً؟

If (however *N(k)O*) the truth of God in my lie abounded to the glory of Him, why still also I myself also I myself as a sinner am judged?

٨ 8 أَمَا يُفْتَرَى عَلَيْنَا كَمَا نُتَّهَمُ زُوراً وَيَزْعُمُ بَعْضُهُمْ أَنَّنَا نَقُولُ: «لِنُمَارِسْ الشُّرُورَ لِكَيْ يَأْتِيَ الْخَيْرُ؟». هَؤُلاءِ دَيْنُونَتُهُمْ عَادِلَةٌ.

And surely even as we are denigrated and even as affirm some [that] we to say that Let us do the [things] evil that may come the good things? Their condemnation just is.

٩ 9 فَمَاذَا إِذَنْ؟ أَنَحْنُ الْيَهُودَ أَفْضَلُ؟ لا، عَلَى الإِطْلاقِ! فَإِنَّنَا، فِي مَا سَبَقَ، قَدِ اتَّهَمْنَا اليَهُودَ وَالْيُونَانِيِّينَ بِكَوْنِهِمْ جَمِيعاً تَحْتَ الْخَطِيئَةِ،

What then? Are we better? Not at all; We have already charged for Jews both and Greeks all under sin to be

١٠ 10 كَمَا قَدْ كُتِبَ: «لَيْسَ بَارٌّ، وَلا وَاحِدٌ. لَيْسَ مَنْ يُدْرِكُ.

Even as it has been written that None there is righteous not even one;

١١ 11 لَيْسَ مَنْ يَبْحَثُ عَنِ اللهِ.

none there is who is understanding, none there is who is seeking after God;

١٢ 12 جَمِيعُ النَّاسِ قَدْ ضَلُّوا، وَصَارُوا كُلُّهُمْ بِلا نَفْعٍ. لَيْسَ مَنْ يُمَارِسُ الصَّلاحَ، لَا وَلا وَاحِدٌ.

All turned away, together they became worthless; none there is (who *n*) is practicing good, not there is so much as one.

١٣ 13 حَنَاجِرُهُمْ قُبُورٌ مَفْتُوحَةٌ؛ أَلْسِنَتُهُمْ أَدَوَاتٌ لِلْمَكْرِ؛ شِفَاهُهُمْ تُخْفِي سُمَّ الأَفَاعِي الْقَاتِلَةِ؛

A grave opened [is] the throat of them, with the tongues of them they were practicing deceit; [the] venom of vipers [is] under the lips of them;

١٤ 14 أَفْوَاهُهُمْ مَمْلُوءَةٌ لَعْنَةً وَمَرَارَةً،

of whom the mouth of cursing and of bitterness is full.

١٥ 15 أَقْدَامُهُمْ سَرِيعَةٌ إِلَى سَفْكِ الدِّمَاءِ؛

swift [are] the feet of them to shed blood;

١٦ 16 فِي طُرُقِهِمِ الْخَرَابُ وَالشَّقَاءُ؛

ruin and misery [are] in the paths of them;

١٧ 17 أَمَّا طَرِيقُ السَّلامِ فَلَمْ يَعْرِفُوهُ؛

and [the] way of peace not they have known.

١٨ 18 وَمَخَافَةُ اللهِ لَيْسَتْ نُصْبَ عُيُونِهِمْ».

Not there is fear of God before the eyes of them.

١٩ 19 وَنَحْنُ نَعْلَمُ أَنَّ كُلَّ مَا تَقُولُهُ الشَّرِيعَةُ إِنَّمَا تُخَاطِبُ بِهِ الَّذِينَ هُمْ تَحْتَ الشَّرِيعَةِ، لِكَيْ يُسَدَّ كُلُّ فَمٍ وَيَقَعَ الْعَالَمُ كُلُّهُ تَحْتَ دَيْنُونَةٍ مِنَ اللهِ.

We know now that as much as the law says to those under the law it speaks, so that every mouth may be stopped, and under judgment may be all the world to God.

٢٠ 20 فَإِنَّ أَحَداً مِنَ الْبَشَرِ لَا يَتَبَرَّرُ أَمَامَهُ بِالأَعْمَالِ الْمَطْلُوبَةِ فِي الشَّرِيعَةِ. إِذْ إِنَّ الشَّرِيعَةَ هِيَ لإِظْهَارِ الْخَطِيئَةِ.

Therefore by works of [the] Law not will be justified any flesh before Him; through for [the] Law [is] knowledge of sin.

٢١ 21 أَمَّا الآنَ، فَقَدْ أُعْلِنَ الْبِرُّ الَّذِي يَمْنَحُهُ اللهُ، مُسْتَقِلاً عَنِ الشَّرِيعَةِ، وَمَشْهُوداً لَهُ مِنَ الشَّرِيعَةِ وَالأَنْبِيَاءِ،

Now however apart from law [the] righteousness of God has been revealed being borne witness to by the Law and the Prophets,

٢٢ 22 ذَلِكَ الْبِرُّ الَّذِي يَمْنَحُهُ اللهُ عَلَى أَسَاسِ الإِيمَانِ بِيَسُوعَ الْمَسِيحِ لِجَمِيعِ الَّذِينَ يُؤْمِنُونَ. إِذْ لَا فَرْقَ،

[the] righteousness now of God through faith from Jesus Christ toward all (and upon all *K*) those believing; Not for there is distinction.

٢٣ 23 لأَنَّ الْجَمِيعَ قَدْ أَخْطَأُوا وَهُمْ عَاجِزُونَ عَنْ بُلُوغِ مَا يُمَجِّدُ اللهَ.

All for have sinned and they fall short of the glory of God

٢٤ 24 فَهُمْ يُبَرَّرُونَ مَجَّاناً، بِنِعْمَتِهِ، بِالْفِدَاءِ بِالْمَسِيحِ يَسُوعَ

being justified freely by the of Him grace through the redemption that [is] in Christ Jesus,

٢٥ 25 الَّذِي قَدَّمَهُ اللهُ كَفَّارَةً، عَنْ طَرِيقِ الإِيمَانِ، وَذَلِكَ بِدَمِهِ.

whom set forth as God a propitiation through faith in His blood for a showing forth of the righteousness of Him because of the forbearance of the having taken place beforehand sins —

٢٦ 26 لِيَظْهَرْ بِرُّ اللهِ إِذْ تَغَاضَى، بِإِمْهَالِهِ الإِلَهِيِّ، عَنِ الْخَطَايَا الَّتِي حَدَثَتْ فِي الْمَاضِي، وَيَظْهَرَ أَيْضاً بِرُّهُ فِي الزَّمَنِ الْحَاضِرِ: فَيَتَبَيَّنَ أَنَّهُ بَارٌّ وَأَنَّهُ يُبَرِّرُ مَنْ لَهُ الإِيمَانُ بِيَسُوعَ.

in the forbearance of God; for (of the *no*) showing forth the righteousness of Him in the present time for to be Him just and justifying the [one] of faith of Jesus.

٢٧ 27 إِذَنْ، أَيْنَ الاِفْتِخَارُ؟ إِنَّهُ قَدْ أُبْطِلَ! وَعَلَى أَيِّ أَسَاسٍ؟ أَعَلَى أَسَاسِ الأَعْمَالِ؟ لا، بَلْ عَلَى أَسَاسِ الإِيمَانِ،

Where then [is] the boasting? It has been excluded. Through what principle? That of works? No, but through [the] principle of faith.

٢٨ 28 لأَنَّنَا قَدِ اسْتَنْتَجْنَا أَنَّ الإِنْسَانَ يَتَبَرَّرُ بِالإِيمَانِ، بِمَعْزِلٍ عَنِ الأَعْمَالِ الْمَطْلُوبَةِ فِي الشَّرِيعَةِ.

We reckon (therefore *N(k)O*) to be justified by faith a man apart from works of the Law.

٢٩ 29 أَوَ يَكُونُ اللهُ إِلَهَ الْيَهُودِ وَحْدَهُمْ؟ أَمَا هُوَ إِلهُ الأُمَمِ أَيْضاً؟ بَلَى، إِنَّهُ إِلَهُ الأُمَمِ أَيْضاً،

Or of Jews [is He] the God only, surely [is] (now *k*) also of Gentiles? Yes also of Gentiles,

٣٠ 30 مَادَامَ اللهُ الْوَاحِدُ هُوَ الَّذِي سَيُبَرِّرُ أَهْلَ الْخِتَانِ عَلَى أَسَاسِ الإِيمَانِ، وَأَهْلَ عَدَمِ الْخِتَانِ عَلَى أَسَاسِ الإِيمَانِ.

(if indeed if indeed *N(k)O*) One God [is] who will justify [the] circumcision by faith and [the] uncircumcision through the [same] faith.

٣١ 31 إِذَنْ، هَلْ نَحْنُ نُبْطِلُ الشَّرِيعَةَ بِالإِيمَانِ؟ حَاشَا، بَلْ إِنَّنَا بِهِ نُثَبِّتُ الشَّرِيعَةَ.

Law then do we nullify through faith? Never would it be! Instead law we uphold.
