Galatians 3

1 O senseless Galatians, who has bewitched you; to whom, as before your very eyes, Jesus Christ has been portrayed, crucified [among you]?

١ أَيُّهَا ٱلْغَلَاطِيُّونَ ٱلْأَغْبِيَاءُ، مَنْ رَقَاكُمْ حَتَّى لَا تُذْعِنُوا لِلْحَقِّ؟ أَنْتُمُ ٱلَّذِينَ أَمَامَ عُيُونِكُمْ قَدْ رُسِمَ يَسُوعُ ٱلْمَسِيحُ بَيْنَكُمْ مَصْلُوبًا!

2 This only I wish to learn of you, Have ye received the Spirit on the principle of works of law, or of [the] report of faith?

٢ أُرِيدُ أَنْ أَتَعَلَّمَ مِنْكُمْ هَذَا فَقَطْ: أَبِأَعْمَالِ ٱلنَّامُوسِ أَخَذْتُمُ ٱلرُّوحَ أَمْ بِخَبَرِ ٱلْإِيمَانِ؟

3 Are ye so senseless? having begun in Spirit, are ye going to be made perfect in flesh?

٣ أَهَكَذَا أَنْتُمْ أَغْبِيَاءُ! أَبَعْدَمَا ٱبْتَدَأْتُمْ بِٱلرُّوحِ تُكَمَّلُونَ ٱلْآنَ بِٱلْجَسَدِ؟

4 Have ye suffered so many things in vain, if indeed also in vain?

٤ أَهَذَا ٱلْمِقْدَارَ ٱحْتَمَلْتُمْ عَبَثًا؟ إِنْ كَانَ عَبَثًا!

5 He therefore who ministers to you the Spirit, and works miracles among you, [is it] on the principle of works of law, or of [the] report of faith?

٥ فَٱلَّذِي يَمْنَحُكُمُ ٱلرُّوحَ، وَيَعْمَلُ قُوَّاتٍ فِيكُمْ، أَبِأَعْمَالِ ٱلنَّامُوسِ أَمْ بِخَبَرِ ٱلْإِيمَانِ؟

6 Even as Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned to him as righteousness.

٦ كَمَا «آمَنَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ بِٱللهِ فَحُسِبَ لَهُ بِرًّا».

7 Know then that they that are on the principle of faith, these are Abraham's sons;

٧ ٱعْلَمُوا إِذًا أَنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ مِنَ ٱلْإِيمَانِ أُولَئِكَ هُمْ بَنُو إِبْرَاهِيمَ.

8 and the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the nations on the principle of faith, announced beforehand the glad tidings to Abraham: In thee all the nations shall be blessed.

٨ وَٱلْكِتَابُ إِذْ سَبَقَ فَرَأَى أَنَّ ٱللهَ بِٱلْإِيمَانِ يُبَرِّرُ ٱلْأُمَمَ، سَبَقَ فَبَشَّرَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ أَنْ «فِيكَ تَتَبَارَكُ جَمِيعُ ٱلْأُمَمِ».

9 So that they who are on the principle of faith are blessed with believing Abraham.

٩ إِذًا ٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ مِنَ ٱلْإِيمَانِ يَتَبَارَكُونَ مَعَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِ.

10 For as many as are on the principle of works of law are under curse. For it is written, Cursed is every one who does not continue in all things which [are] written in the book of the law to do them;

١٠ لِأَنَّ جَمِيعَ ٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ مِنْ أَعْمَالِ ٱلنَّامُوسِ هُمْ تَحْتَ لَعْنَةٍ، لِأَنَّهُ مَكْتُوبٌ: «مَلْعُونٌ كُلُّ مَنْ لَا يَثْبُتُ فِي جَمِيعِ مَا هُوَ مَكْتُوبٌ فِي كِتَابِ ٱلنَّامُوسِ لِيَعْمَلَ بِهِ».

11 but that by law no one is justified with God [is] evident, because The just shall live on the principle of faith;

١١ وَلَكِنْ أَنْ لَيْسَ أَحَدٌ يَتَبَرَّرُ بِٱلنَّامُوسِ عِنْدَ ٱللهِ فَظَاهِرٌ، لِأَنَّ «ٱلْبَارَّ بِٱلْإِيمَانِ يَحْيَا».

12 but the law is not on the principle of faith; but, He that shall have done these things shall live by them.

١٢ وَلَكِنَّ ٱلنَّامُوسَ لَيْسَ مِنَ ٱلْإِيمَانِ، بَلِ «ٱلْإِنْسَانُ ٱلَّذِي يَفْعَلُهَا سَيَحْيَا بِهَا».

13 Christ has redeemed us out of the curse of the law, having become a curse for us, (for it is written, Cursed [is] every one hanged upon a tree, )

١٣ اَلْمَسِيحُ ٱفْتَدَانَا مِنْ لَعْنَةِ ٱلنَّامُوسِ، إِذْ صَارَ لَعْنَةً لِأَجْلِنَا، لِأَنَّهُ مَكْتُوبٌ: «مَلْعُونٌ كُلُّ مَنْ عُلِّقَ عَلَى خَشَبَةٍ».

14 that the blessing of Abraham might come to the nations in Christ Jesus, that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.

١٤ لِتَصِيرَ بَرَكَةُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ لِلْأُمَمِ فِي ٱلْمَسِيحِ يَسُوعَ، لِنَنَالَ بِٱلْإِيمَانِ مَوْعِدَ ٱلرُّوحِ.

15 Brethren, (I speak according to man, ) even man's confirmed covenant no one sets aside, or adds other dispositions to.

١٥ أَيُّهَا ٱلْإِخْوَةُ، بِحَسَبِ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ أَقُولُ: لَيْسَ أَحَدٌ يُبْطِلُ عَهْدًا قَدْ تَمَكَّنَ وَلَوْ مِنْ إِنْسَانٍ، أَوْ يَزِيدُ عَلَيْهِ.

16 But to Abraham were the promises addressed, and to his seed: he does not say, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed; which is Christ.

١٦ وَأَمَّا ٱلْمَوَاعِيدُ فَقِيلَتْ فِي إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَفِي نَسْلِهِ. لَا يَقُولُ: «وَفِي ٱلْأَنْسَالِ» كَأَنَّهُ عَنْ كَثِيرِينَ، بَلْ كَأَنَّهُ عَنْ وَاحِدٍ: «وَفِي نَسْلِكَ» ٱلَّذِي هُوَ ٱلْمَسِيحُ.

17 Now I say this, A covenant confirmed beforehand by God, the law, which took place four hundred and thirty years after, does not annul, so as to make the promise of no effect.

١٧ وَإِنَّمَا أَقُولُ هَذَا: إِنَّ ٱلنَّامُوسَ ٱلَّذِي صَارَ بَعْدَ أَرْبَعِمِئَةٍ وَثَلَاثِينَ سَنَةً، لَا يَنْسَخُ عَهْدًا قَدْ سَبَقَ فَتَمَكَّنَ مِنَ ٱللهِ نَحْوَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ حَتَّى يُبَطِّلَ ٱلْمَوْعِدَ.

18 For if the inheritance [be] on the principle of law, [it is] no longer on the principle of promise; but God gave it in grace to Abraham by promise.

١٨ لِأَنَّهُ إِنْ كَانَتِ ٱلْوِرَاثَةُ مِنَ ٱلنَّامُوسِ، فَلَمْ تَكُنْ أَيْضًا مِنْ مَوْعِدٍ. وَلَكِنَّ ٱللهَ وَهَبَهَا لِإِبْرَاهِيمَ بِمَوْعِدٍ.

19 Why then the law? It was added for the sake of transgressions, until the seed came to whom the promise was made, ordained through angels in [the] hand of a mediator.

١٩ فَلِمَاذَا ٱلنَّامُوسُ؟ قَدْ زِيدَ بِسَبَبِ ٱلتَّعَدِّيَاتِ، إِلَى أَنْ يَأْتِيَ ٱلنَّسْلُ ٱلَّذِي قَدْ وُعِدَ لَهُ، مُرَتَّبًا بِمَلَائِكَةٍ فِي يَدِ وَسِيطٍ.

20 But a mediator is not of one, but God is one.

٢٠ وَأَمَّا ٱلْوَسِيطُ فَلَا يَكُونُ لِوَاحِدٍ. وَلَكِنَّ ٱللهَ وَاحِدٌ.

21 [Is] then the law against the promises of God? Far be the thought. For if a law had been given able to quicken, then indeed righteousness were on the principle of law;

٢١ فَهَلِ ٱلنَّامُوسُ ضِدُّ مَوَاعِيدِ ٱللهِ؟ حَاشَا! لِأَنَّهُ لَوْ أُعْطِيَ نَامُوسٌ قَادِرٌ أَنْ يُحْيِيَ، لَكَانَ بِٱلْحَقِيقَةِ ٱلْبِرُّ بِٱلنَّامُوسِ.

22 but the scripture has shut up all things under sin, that the promise, on the principle of faith of Jesus Christ, should be given to those that believe.

٢٢ لَكِنَّ ٱلْكِتَابَ أَغْلَقَ عَلَى ٱلْكُلِّ تَحْتَ ٱلْخَطِيَّةِ، لِيُعْطَى ٱلْمَوْعِدُ مِنْ إِيمَانِ يَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ لِلَّذِينَ يُؤْمِنُونَ.

23 But before faith came, we were guarded under law, shut up to faith [which was] about to be revealed.

٢٣ وَلَكِنْ قَبْلَمَا جَاءَ ٱلْإِيمَانُ كُنَّا مَحْرُوسِينَ تَحْتَ ٱلنَّامُوسِ، مُغْلَقًا عَلَيْنَا إِلَى ٱلْإِيمَانِ ٱلْعَتِيدِ أَنْ يُعْلَنَ.

24 So that the law has been our tutor up to Christ, that we might be justified on the principle of faith.

٢٤ إِذًا قَدْ كَانَ ٱلنَّامُوسُ مُؤَدِّبَنَا إِلَى ٱلْمَسِيحِ، لِكَيْ نَتَبَرَّرَ بِٱلْإِيمَانِ.

25 But, faith having come, we are no longer under a tutor;

٢٥ وَلَكِنْ بَعْدَ مَا جَاءَ ٱلْإِيمَانُ، لَسْنَا بَعْدُ تَحْتَ مُؤَدِّبٍ.

26 for ye are all God's sons by faith in Christ Jesus.

٢٦ لِأَنَّكُمْ جَمِيعًا أَبْنَاءُ ٱللهِ بِٱلْإِيمَانِ بِٱلْمَسِيحِ يَسُوعَ.

27 For ye, as many as have been baptised unto Christ, have put on Christ.

٢٧ لِأَنَّ كُلَّكُمُ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱعْتَمَدْتُمْ بِٱلْمَسِيحِ قَدْ لَبِسْتُمُ ٱلْمَسِيحَ:

28 There is no Jew nor Greek; there is no bondman nor freeman; there is no male and female; for ye are all one in Christ Jesus:

٢٨ لَيْسَ يَهُودِيٌّ وَلَا يُونَانِيٌّ. لَيْسَ عَبْدٌ وَلَا حُرٌّ. لَيْسَ ذَكَرٌ وَأُنْثَى، لِأَنَّكُمْ جَمِيعًا وَاحِدٌ فِي ٱلْمَسِيحِ يَسُوعَ.

29 but if ye [are] of Christ, then ye are Abraham's seed, heirs according to promise.

٢٩ فَإِنْ كُنْتُمْ لِلْمَسِيحِ، فَأَنْتُمْ إِذًا نَسْلُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، وَحَسَبَ ٱلْمَوْعِدِ وَرَثَةٌ.
