رُوما 1

١ 1 مِنْ بُولُسَ عَبْدِ يَسُوعَ المَسِيحِ، الرَّسُولِ الْمَدْعُوِّ وَالْمُفْرَزِ لإِنْجِيلِ اللهِ،

Paul, a servant of Christ Jesus, called to be an apostle, set apart for the Good News of God,

٢ 2 هَذَا الإِنْجِيلِ الَّذِي وَعَدَ اللهُ بِهِ مِنْ قَبْلُ عَلَى أَلْسِنَةِ أَنْبِيَائِهِ فِي الْكُتُبِ الْمُقَدَّسَةِ،

which he promised before through his prophets in the holy Scriptures,

٣ 3 وَهُوَ يَخْتَصُّ بِابْنِهِ الَّذِي جَاءَ مِنْ نَسْلِ دَاوُدَ مِنَ النَّاحِيَةِ الْبَشَرِيَّةِ؛

concerning his Son, who was born of the offspring of David according to the flesh,

٤ 4 وَمِنْ نَاحِيَةِ رُوحِ الْقَدَاسَةِ، تَبَيَّنَ بِقُوَّةٍ أَنَّهُ ابْنُ اللهِ بِالْقِيَامَةِ مِنْ بَيْنِ الأَمْوَاتِ. إِنَّهُ يَسُوعُ الْمَسِيحُ رَبُّنَا

who was declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the Spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead, Jesus Christ our Lord,

٥ 5 الَّذِي بِهِ وَلأَجْلِ اسْمِهِ نِلْنَا نِعْمَةً وَرِسَالَةً لإِطَاعَةِ الإِيمَانِ بَيْنَ جَمِيعِ الأُمَمِ،

through whom we received grace and the office of apostle, for obedience of faith among all the nations, for his name's sake;

٦ 6 وَمِنْ بَيْنِهِمْ أَنْتُمْ أَيْضاً مَدْعُوُّو يَسُوعَ الْمَسِيحِ.

among whom you are also called to belong to Jesus Christ;

٧ 7 إِلَى جَمِيعِ مَنْ هُمْ فِي رُومَا مِنْ أَحِبَّاءِ اللهِ الْقِدِّيسِينَ الْمَدْعُوِّينَ. لِتَكُنْ لَكُمُ النِّعْمَةُ وَالسَّلامُ مِنَ اللهِ أَبِينَا وَالرَّبِّ يَسُوعَ الْمَسِيحِ!

to all who are in Rome, loved by God, called to be saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

٨ 8 أَوَّلاً، أَشْكُرُ إِلهِي بِيَسُوعَ الْمَسِيحِ مِنْ أَجْلِكُمْ جَمِيعاً، لأَنَّ إِيمَانَكُمْ يُذَاعُ خَبَرُهُ فِي الْعَالَمِ كُلِّهِ.

First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for all of you, because your faith is proclaimed throughout the whole world.

٩ 9 فَإِنَّ اللهَ الَّذِي أَخْدِمُهُ بِرُوحِي فِي التَّبْشِيرِ بِإِنْجِيلِ ابْنِهِ، هُوَ شَاهِدٌ لِي كَيْفَ لَا أَتَوَقَّفُ عَنْ ذِكْرِكُمْ

For God is my witness, whom I serve in my spirit in the Good News of his Son, how I constantly mention you

١٠ 10 فِي صَلَوَاتِي، مُتَوَسِّلاً دَائِماً عَسَى الآنَ أَنْ يَتَيَسَّرَ لِي مَرَّةً بِمَشِيئَةِ اللهِ أَنْ آتِيَ إِلَيْكُمْ.

always in my prayers, requesting, if by any means now at last I may succeed by the will of God to come to you.

١١ 11 فَإِنِّي أَشْتَاقُ أَنْ أَرَاكُمْ لأَحْمِلَ إِلَيْكُمْ بَرَكَةً رُوحِيَّةً لِتَثْبِيتِكُمْ،

For I long to see you, that I may impart to you some spiritual gift to strengthen you;

١٢ 12 لِيُشَجِّعَ بَعْضُنَا بَعْضَاً بِالإِيمَانِ الْمُشْتَرَكِ، إِيمَانِكُمْ وَإِيمَانِي.

that is, that you and I may be mutually encouraged by each other's faith, both yours and mine.

١٣ 13 ثُمَّ لَا أُرِيدُ أَنْ يَخْفَى عَلَيْكُمْ، أَيُّهَا الإِخْوَةُ، أَنَّنِي كَثِيراً مَا قَصَدْتُ أَنْ آتِيَ إِلَيْكُمْ، لِيَكُونَ لِي ثَمَرٌ مِنْ بَيْنِكُمْ أَيْضاً كَمَا لِي مِنْ بَيْنِ الأُمَمِ الأُخْرَى، إِلّا أَنَّنِي كُنْتُ أُعَاقُ حَتَّى الآنَ

Now I do not desire to have you unaware, brothers, that I often planned to come to you, and was hindered so far, that I might have some fruit among you also, even as among the other non-Jewish people.

١٤ 14 فَإِنَّ عَلَيَّ دَيْناً لِلْيُونَانِيِّينَ وَالْبَرَابِرَةِ، لِلمُتَعَلِّمِينَ وَالْجُهَّالِ.

I have an obligation both to Greeks and to barbarians, both to the wise and to the foolish.

١٥ 15 وَلِذلِكَ، فَبِكُلِّ مَا لَدَيَّ، أَنَا فِي غَايَةِ الشَّوْقِ أَنْ أُبَشِّرَ بِالإِنْجِيلِ أَيْضاً بَيْنَكُمْ أَنْتُمُ الَّذِينَ فِي رُومَا.

So, for my part, I am eager to preach the Good News to you also who are in Rome.

١٦ 16 فَأَنَا لَا أَسْتَحِي بِالإِنْجِيلِ، لأَنَّهُ قُدْرَةُ اللهِ لِلْخَلاصِ، لِكُلِّ مَنْ يُؤْمِنُ، لِلْيَهُودِيِّ أَوَّلاً ثُمَّ لِلْيُونَانِيِّ.

For I am not ashamed of the Good News, for it is the power of God for salvation for everyone who believes; for the Jew first, and also for the Greek.

١٧ 17 فَفِيهِ قَدْ أُعْلِنَ الْبِرُّ الَّذِي يَمْنَحُهُ اللهُ عَلَى أَسَاسِ الإِيمَانِ وَالَّذِي يُؤَدِّي إِلَى الإِيمَانِ، عَلَى حَدِّ مَا قَدْ كُتِبَ: «أَمَّا مَنْ تَبَرَّرَ بِالإِيمَانِ، فَبِالإِيمَانِ يَحْيَا».

For in it is revealed God's righteousness from faith to faith. As it is written, "But the righteous will live by faith."

١٨ 18 فَإِنَّهُ قَدْ أُعْلِنَ غَضَبُ اللهِ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ عَلَى جَمِيعِ مَا يَفْعَلُهُ النَّاسُ مِنْ عِصْيَانٍ وَإِثْمٍ الَّذِينَ يَحْجُبُونَ الْحَقَّ بِالإِثْمِ.

For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of people, who suppress the truth by unrighteousness,

١٩ 19 ذَلِكَ لأَنَّ مَا يُعْرَفُ عَنِ اللهِ وَاضِحٌ بَيْنَهُمْ، إِذْ بَيَّنَهُ اللهُ لَهُمْ.

because what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them.

٢٠ 20 فَإِنَّ مَا لَا يُرَى مِنْ أُمُورِ اللهِ، أَيْ قُدْرَتَهُ الأَزَلِيَّةَ وَأُلُوهَتَهُ، ظَاهِرٌ لِلْعِيَانِ مُنْذُ خَلْقِ الْعَالَمِ، إِذْ تُدْرِكُهُ الْعُقُولُ مِنْ خِلالِ الْمَخْلُوقَاتِ. حَتَّى إِنَّ النَّاسَ بَاتُوا بِلا عُذْرٍ. (aïdios g126)

For since the creation of the world his invisible attributes, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made. So they are without excuse. (aïdios g126)

٢١ 21 فَمَعَ أَنَّهُمْ عَرَفُوا اللهَ، لَمْ يُمَجِّدُوهُ بِاعْتِبَارِهِ اللهَ، وَلا شَكَرُوهُ، بَلِ انْصَرَفُوا بِتَفْكِيرِهِمْ إِلَى الْحَمَاقَةِ وَصَارَ قَلْبُهُمْ لِغَبَاوَتِهِ مُظْلِماً.

Because, although they knew God, they did not glorify him as God or give him thanks, but their thinking became nonsense, and their foolish heart was darkened.

٢٢ 22 وَفِيمَا يَدَّعُونَ أَنَّهُمْ حُكَمَاءُ، صَارُوا جُهَّالاً،

Claiming to be wise, they became fools,

٢٣ 23 وَاسْتَبْدَلُوا بِمَجْدِ اللهِ الْخَالِدِ تَمَاثِيلَ لِصُوَرِ الإِنْسَانِ الْفَانِي وَالطُّيُورِ وَذَوَاتِ الأَرْبَعِ وَالزَّوَاحِفِ.

and traded the glory of the immortal God for images resembling mortal humans, and of birds, and four-footed animals, and crawling creatures.

٢٤ 24 لِذَلِكَ أَسْلَمَهُمُ اللهُ، فِي شَهْوَاتِ قُلُوبِهِمْ، إِلَى النَّجَاسَةِ، لِيُهِينُوا أَجْسَادَهُمْ فِيمَا بَيْنَهُمْ.

Therefore God also abandoned them in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, to the degrading of their bodies among themselves,

٢٥ 25 إِذْ قَدِ اسْتَبْدَلُوا بِحَقِّ اللهِ مَا هُوَ بَاطِلٌ، فَاتَّقَوْا الْمَخْلُوقَ وَعَبَدُوهُ بَدَلَ الْخَالِقِ، الْمُبَارَكِ إِلَى الأَبَدِ. آمِين! (aiōn g165)

who exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served the creation rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen. (aiōn g165)

٢٦ 26 لِهَذَا السَّبَبِ أَسْلَمَهُمُ اللهُ إِلَى الشَّهَوَاتِ الْمُخْزِيَةِ. فَإِنَّ إِنَاثَهُمْ تَحَوَّلْنَ عَنِ اسْتِعْمَالِ أَجْسَادِهِنَّ بِالطَّرِيقَةِ الطَّبِيعِيَّةِ إِلَى اسْتِعْمَالِهَا بِطَرِيقَةٍ مُخَالِفَةٍ لِلطَّبِيعَةِ.

For this reason, God abandoned them to their degrading passions. For their women exchanged natural relations for that which is contrary to nature.

٢٧ 27 وَكَذلِكَ تَحَوَّلَ الذُّكُورُ أَيْضاً عَنِ اسْتِعْمَالِ الأُنْثَى بِالطَّرِيقَةِ الطَّبِيعِيَّةِ، وَالْتَهَبُوا شَهْوَةً بَعْضُهُمْ لِبَعْضٍ، مُرْتَكِبِينَ الْفَحْشَاءَ ذُكُوراً بِذُكُورٍ، فَاسْتَحَقُّوا أَنْ يَنَالُوا فِي أَنْفُسِهِمِ الْجَزَاءَ الْعَادِلَ عَلَى ضَلالِهِمْ.

Likewise also the men, giving up natural relations with women, burned in their lust toward one another, men with men, committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the due penalty of their error.

٢٨ 28 وَبِمَا أَنَّهُمْ لَمْ يَتَخَيَّرُوا إِبْقَاءَ اللهِ ضِمْنَ مَعْرِفَتِهِمْ، أَسْلَمَهُمُ اللهُ إِلَى ذِهْنٍ عَاطِلٍ عَنِ التَّمْيِيزِ دَفَعَهُمْ إِلَى مُمَارَسَةِ الأُمُورِ غَيْرِ اللّائِقَةِ.

Even as they refused to have God in their knowledge, God abandoned them to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not right;

٢٩ 29 إِذْ قَدِ امْتَلأُوا مِنْ كُلِّ إِثْمٍ وَشَرٍّ وَجَشَعٍ وَخُبْثٍ، وَشُحِنُوا حَسَداً وَقَتْلاً وَخِصَاماً وَمَكْراً وَسُوءاً. وَهُمْ ثَرْثَارُونَ،

being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil habits, secret slanderers,

٣٠ 30 مُغْتَابُونَ، كَارِهُونَ لِلهِ، شَتَّامُونَ، مُتَكَبِّرُونَ، مُتَفَاخِرُونَ، مُخْتَرِعُونَ لِلشُّرُورِ، غَيْرُ طَائِعِينَ لِلْوَالِدَيْنِ.

slanderers, haters of God, insolent, arrogant, boastful, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,

٣١ 31 لَا فَهْمَ عِنْدَهُمْ، وَلا أَمَانَةَ، وَلا حَنَانَ، وَلا رَحْمَةَ.

foolish, promise-breakers, heartless, unforgiving, unmerciful;

٣٢ 32 إِنَّهُمْ يَعْلَمُونَ حُكْمَ اللهِ الْعَادِلِ: أَنَّ الَّذِينَ يَفْعَلُونَ هَذِهِ الأُمُورَ يَسْتَوْجِبُونَ الْمَوْتَ؛ وَمَعَ ذَلِكَ، لَا يُمَارِسُونَهَا وَحَسْبُ، بَلْ يُسَرُّونَ بِفَاعِلِيهَا.

who, knowing the ordinance of God, that those who practice such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but also approve of those who practice them.
