< Romans 10 >

1 Brethren, the delight of my own heart and my supplication which [I address] to God for them is for salvation.
أَيُّهَا الإِخْوَةُ، إِنَّ رَغْبَةَ قَلْبِي وَتَضَرُّعِي إِلَى اللهِ لأَجْلِهِمْ، هُمَا أَنْ يَخْلُصُوا.١
2 For I bear them witness that they have zeal for God, but not according to knowledge.
فَإِنِّي أَشْهَدُ لَهُمْ أَنَّ عِنْدَهُمْ غَيْرَةً لِلهِ، وَلكِنَّهَا لَيْسَتْ عَلَى أَسَاسِ الْمَعْرِفَةِ.٢
3 For they, being ignorant of God's righteousness, and seeking to establish their own [righteousness], have not submitted to the righteousness of God.
فَبِمَا أَنَّهُمْ جَهِلُوا بِرَّ اللهِ وَسَعَوْا إِلَى إِثْبَاتِ بِرِّهِمِ الذَّاتِيِّ، لَمْ يَخْضَعُوا لِلْبِرِّ الإِلهِيِّ.٣
4 For Christ is [the] end of law for righteousness to every one that believes.
فَإِنَّ غَايَةَ الشَّرِيعَةِ هِيَ الْمَسِيحُ لِتَبْرِيرِ كُلِّ مَنْ يُؤْمِنُ.٤
5 For Moses lays down in writing the righteousness which is of the law, The man who has practised those things shall live by them.
فَقَدْ كَتَبَ مُوسَى عَنِ الْبِرِّ الآتِي مِنَ الشَّرِيعَةِ: «إِنَّ الإِنْسَانَ الَّذِي يَعْمَلُ بِهذِهِ الأُمُورِ، يَحْيَا بِها».٥
6 But the righteousness of faith speaks thus: Do not say in thine heart, Who shall ascend to the heavens? that is, to bring Christ down;
غَيْرَ أَنَّ الْبِرَّ الآتِيَ مِنَ الإِيمَانِ يَقُولُ هَذَا: «لا تَقُلْ فِي قَلْبِكَ: مَنْ يَصْعَدُ إِلَى السَّمَاوَاتِ؟» (أَيْ لِيُنْزِلَ الْمَسِيحَ)،٦
7 or, Who shall descend into the abyss? that is, to bring up Christ from among [the] dead. (Abyssos g12)
وَلا: «مَنْ يَنْزِلُ إِلَى الأَعْمَاقِ؟» أَيْ لِيُصْعِدَ الْمَسِيحَ مِنْ بَيْنِ الأَمْوَاتِ! (Abyssos g12)٧
8 But what says it? The word is near thee, in thy mouth and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach:
فَمَاذَا يَقُولُ إِذاً؟ إِنَّهُ يَقُولُ: «إِنَّ الْكَلِمَةَ قَرِيبَةٌ مِنْكَ. إِنَّهَا فِي فَمِكَ وَفِي قَلْبِكَ!» وَمَا هذِهِ الْكَلِمَةُ إِلّا كَلِمَةُ الإِيمَانِ الَّتِي نُبَشِّرُ بِها:٨
9 that if thou shalt confess with thy mouth Jesus as Lord, and shalt believe in thine heart that God has raised him from among [the] dead, thou shalt be saved.
أَنَّكَ إِنِ اعْتَرَفْتَ بِفَمِكَ بِيَسُوعَ رَبّاً، وَآمَنْتَ فِي قَلْبِكَ بِأَنَّ اللهَ أَقَامَهُ مِنَ الأَمْوَاتِ، نِلْتَ الْخَلاصَ.٩
10 For with [the] heart is believed to righteousness; and with [the] mouth confession made to salvation.
فَإِنَّ الإِيمَانَ فِي القَلْبِ يُؤَدِّي إِلَى الْبِرِّ، وَالاعْتِرَافَ بِالْفَمِ يُؤَيِّدُ الْخَلاصَ،١٠
11 For the scripture says, No one believing on him shall be ashamed.
لأَنَّ الْكِتَابَ يَقُولُ: «كُلُّ مَنْ هُوَ مُؤْمِنٌ بِهِ، لَا يَخِيبُ».١١
12 For there is no difference of Jew and Greek; for the same Lord of all [is] rich towards all that call upon him.
فَلا فَرْقَ بَيْنَ اليَهُودِيِّ وَالْيُونَانِيِّ، لأَنَّ لِلْجَمِيعِ رَبّاً وَاحِداً، غَنِيًّا تُجَاهَ كُلِّ مَنْ يَدْعُوهُ.١٢
13 For every one whosoever, who shall call on the name of the Lord, shall be saved.
«فَإِنَّ كُلَّ مَنْ يَدْعُو بِاسْمِ الرَّبِّ يَخْلُصُ».١٣
14 How then shall they call upon him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe on him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without one who preaches?
وَلكِنْ، كَيْفَ يَدْعُونَ مَنْ لَمْ يُؤْمِنُوا بِهِ؟ وَكَيْفَ يُؤْمِنُونَ بِمَنْ لَمْ يَسْمَعُوا بِهِ؟ وَكَيْفَ يَسْمَعُونَ بِلا مُبَشِّرٍ؟١٤
15 and how shall they preach unless they have been sent? according as it is written, How beautiful the feet of them that announce glad tidings of peace, of them that announce glad tidings of good things!
وَكَيْفَ يُبَشِّرُ أَحَدٌ إِلّا إِذَا كَانَ قَدْ أُرْسِلَ؟ كَمَا قَدْ كُتِبَ: «مَا أَجْمَلَ أَقْدَامَ الْمُبَشِّرِينَ بِالْخَيْرَاتِ!»١٥
16 But they have not all obeyed the glad tidings. For Esaias says, Lord, who has believed our report?
وَلكِنْ، لَيْسَ كُلُّهُمْ أَطَاعُوا الإِنْجِيلَ. فَإِنَّ إِشَعْيَاءَ يَقُولُ: «يَا رَبُّ! مَنْ صَدَّقَ مَا أَسْمَعْنَاهُ إِيَّاهُ؟»١٦
17 So faith then [is] by a report, but the report by God's word.
إِذاً، الإِيمَانُ نَتِيجَةُ السَّمَاعِ، وَالسَّمَاعُ هُوَ مِنَ التَّبْشِيرِ بِكَلِمَةِ الْمَسِيحِ!١٧
18 But I say, Have they not heard? Yea, surely, Their voice has gone out into all the earth, and their words to the extremities of the habitable world.
وَلكِنِّي أَقُولُ: أَمَا سَمِعُوا؟ بَلَى، فَإِنَّ الْمُبَشِّرِينَ «انْطَلَقَ صَوْتُهُمْ إِلَى الأَرْضِ كُلِّهَا، وَكَلامُهُمْ إِلَى أَقَاصِي الْعَالَمِ».١٨
19 But I say, Has not Israel known? First, Moses says, I will provoke you to jealousy through [them that are] not a nation: through a nation without understanding I will anger you.
وَأَعُودُ فَأَقُولُ: أَمَا فَهِمَ إِسْرَائِيلُ؟ إِنَّ مُوسَى، أَوَّلاً، يَقُولُ: «سَأُثِيرُ غَيْرَتَكُمْ بِمَنْ لَيْسُوا أُمَّةً، وَبِأُمَّةٍ بِلا فَهْمٍ سَوْفَ أُغْضِبُكُمْ!»١٩
20 But Esaias is very bold, and says, I have been found by those not seeking me; I have become manifest to those not inquiring after me.
وَأَمَّا إِشَعْيَاءُ فَيَجْرُؤُ عَلَى الْقَوْلِ: «وَجَدَنِي الَّذِينَ لَمْ يَطْلُبُونِي وَصِرْتُ مُعْلَناً لِلَّذِينَ لَمْ يَبْحَثُوا عَنِّي».٢٠
21 But unto Israel he says, All the day long I have stretched out my hands unto a people disobeying and opposing.
وَلَكِنَّهُ عَنْ إِسْرَائِيلَ يَقُولُ: «طُولَ النَّهَارِ مَدَدْتُ يَدَيَّ إِلَى شَعْبٍ عَاصٍ مُعَارِضٍ!»٢١
