رُوما 1

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

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

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

which he promised beforehand 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 descended from David according to the flesh

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

and who was declared to be the Son of God in 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 have received grace and apostleship to bring about the obedience of faith for the sake of his name among all the Gentiles,

٦ 6 وَمِنْ بَيْنِهِمْ أَنْتُمْ أَيْضاً مَدْعُوُّو يَسُوعَ الْمَسِيحِ.

including you who 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, beloved by God and 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 give thanks to my God through Jesus Christ for you all, because your faith is proclaimed in all the 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 with my spirit in the gospel of his Son, that I continually remember you,

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

always pleading in my prayers that somehow by God's will I may now at last succeed in coming to you.

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

For I long to see you so that I may impart to you some spiritual gift, that you may be established,

١٢ 12 لِيُشَجِّعَ بَعْضُنَا بَعْضَاً بِالإِيمَانِ الْمُشْتَرَكِ، إِيمَانِكُمْ وَإِيمَانِي.

that is, that while I am among you we 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

I do not want you to be unaware, brothers, that I have often intended to come to you (but have been hindered until the present time) so that I might have some fruit among you as well, just as I have had among the other Gentiles.

١٤ 14 فَإِنَّ عَلَيَّ دَيْناً لِلْيُونَانِيِّينَ وَالْبَرَابِرَةِ، لِلمُتَعَلِّمِينَ وَالْجُهَّالِ.

I am under 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.

thus the eagerness on my part to preach the gospel 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 gospel of Christ, because it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, both to the Jew first and also to 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 the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith, just as it is written, “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 men, who suppress the truth by their unrighteousness.

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

Because what is known about God is evident among them, for God has made it evident 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 his invisible qualities, both his everlasting power and his divinity, have been plainly seen from the creation of the world, being perceived through what has been made, so that 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.

For although they knew God, they did not glorify him as God or give thanks, but they became futile in their thoughts, and their senseless hearts were 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 exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images resembling mortal man, birds, four-footed animals, and reptiles.

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

Therefore God gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, to dishonor 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)

because they exchanged the truth of God for falsehood and worshiped and served the creature 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 gave them up to dishonorable passions, for their women exchanged the natural function 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.

In the same way the men also, having abandoned the natural function of the female, were inflamed in their lust for one another, men committing shameful acts with men and receiving in themselves the due penalty for 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.

And just as they considered it worthless to have God in their knowledge, God gave them up to a worthless mind, to do what is not proper.

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

They are filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, evil, covetousness, and malice. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, and maliciousness. They are gossips,

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

slanderers, haters of God, insolent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil, disobedient to parents,

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

senseless, untrustworthy, without natural affection, irreconcilable, and unmerciful.

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

Though they know the ordinance of God, that those who practice such things deserve death, they not only do them but also approve of those who practice them.
