Romans 9
1 I say the trueth in Christ, I lye not, my conscience bearing mee witnes in the holy Ghost,
| أَقُولُ الْحَقَّ فِي الْمَسِيحِ، لَسْتُ أَكْذِبُ، وَضَمِيرِي شَاهِدٌ لِي بِالرُّوحِ الْقُدُسِ، | ١ |
2 That I haue great heauinesse, and continuall sorow in mine heart.
| إِنَّ بِي حُزْناً شَدِيداً، وَبِقَلْبِي أَلَمٌ لَا يَنْقَطِعُ: | ٢ |
3 For I woulde wish my selfe to be separate from Christ, for my brethren that are my kinsemen according to the flesh,
| فَقَدْ كُنْتُ أَتَمَنَّى لَوْ أَكُونُ أَنَا نَفْسِي مَحْرُوماً مِنَ الْمَسِيحِ فِي سَبِيلِ إِخْوَتِي، بَنِي جِنْسِي حَسَبَ الْجَسَدِ. | ٣ |
4 Which are the Israelites, to whome perteineth the adoption, and the glory, and the Couenants, and the giuing of the Lawe, and the seruice of God, and the promises.
| فَإِنَّهُمْ إِسْرَائِيلِيُّونَ، وَقَدْ مُنِحُوا التَّبَنِّيَ وَالْمَجْدَ وَالْعُهُودَ وَالتَّشْرِيعَ وَالْعِبَادَةَ وَالْمَوَاعِيدَ، | ٤ |
5 Of whome are the fathers, and of whome concerning the flesh, Christ came, who is God ouer all, blessed for euer, Amen. (aiōn g165)
| وَمِنْهُمْ كَانَ الآبَاءُ وَمِنْهُمْ جَاءَ الْمَسِيحُ حَسَبَ الْجَسَدِ، وَهُوَ فَوْقَ الْجَمِيعِ اللهُ الْمُبَارَكُ إِلَى الأَبَدِ. آمِين. (aiōn g165) | ٥ |
6 Notwithstanding it can not bee that the worde of God should take none effect: for all they are not Israel, which are of Israel:
| لَسْتُ أَعْنِي أَنَّ كَلِمَةَ اللهِ قَدْ خَابَتْ. إِذْ لَيْسَ جَمِيعُ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ هُمْ إِسْرَائِيلُ؛ | ٦ |
7 Neither are they all children, because they are the seede of Abraham: but, In Isaac shall thy seede be called:
| وَلَيْسُوا، لأَنَّهُمْ نَسْلُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، كُلُّهُمْ أَوْلاداً لِلهِ، بَلْ، كَمَا قَدْ كُتِبَ: «بِإِسْحَاقَ سَيَكُونُ لَكَ نَسْلٌ يَحْمِلُ اسْمَكَ». | ٧ |
8 That is, they which are the children of the flesh, are not the children of God: but the children of the promise, are counted for the seede.
| أَيْ أَنَّ أَوْلادَ الْجَسَدِ لَيْسُوا هُمْ أَوْلادَ اللهِ، بَلْ أَوْلادُ الْوَعْدِ يُحْسَبُونَ نَسْلاً. | ٨ |
9 For this is a worde of promise, In this same time wil I come, and Sara shall haue a sonne.
| فَهذِهِ هِيَ كَلِمَةُ الْوَعْدِ: «فِي مِثْلِ هَذَا الْوَقْتِ أَعُودُ، وَيَكُونُ لِسَارَةَ ابْنٌ». | ٩ |
10 Neither he onely felt this, but also Rebecca when shee had conceiued by one, euen by our father Isaac.
| لَيْسَ ذَلِكَ فَقَطْ، بَلْ إِنَّ رِفْقَةَ أَيْضاً، وَقَدْ حَبِلَتْ مِنْ رَجُلٍ وَاحِدٍ، مِنْ إِسْحَاقَ أَبِينَا، | ١٠ |
11 For yer the children were borne, and when they had neither done good, nor euill (that the purpose of God might remaine according to election, not by workes, but by him that calleth)
| وَلَمْ يَكُنِ الْوَلَدَانِ قَدْ وُلِدَا بَعْدُ وَلا فَعَلا خَيْراً أَوْ شَرّاً، وَذلِكَ كَيْ يَبْقَى قَصْدُ اللهِ مِنْ جِهَةِ الاخْتِيَارِ | ١١ |
12 It was said vnto her, The elder shall serue the yonger.
| لا عَلَى أَسَاسِ الأَعْمَالِ بَلْ عَلَى أَسَاسِ دَعْوَةٍ مِنْهُ، قِيلَ لَهَا: «إِنَّ الْوَلَدَ الأَكْبَرَ يَكُونُ عَبْداً لِلأَصْغَرِ»، | ١٢ |
13 As it is written, I haue loued Iacob, and haue hated Esau.
| كَمَا قَدْ كُتِبَ: «أَحْبَبْتُ يَعْقُوبَ، وَأَبْغَضْتُ عِيسُوَ». | ١٣ |
14 What shall wee say then? Is there vnrighteousnes with God? God forbid.
| إِذاً، مَاذَا نَقُولُ، أَيَكُونُ عِنْدَ اللهِ ظُلْمٌ، حَاشَا! | ١٤ |
15 For he saith to Moses, I wil haue mercy on him, to whom I wil shew mercie: and wil haue compassion on him, on who I wil haue copassion.
| فَإِنَّهُ يَقُولُ لِمُوسَى: «إِنِّي أَرْحَمُ مَنْ أَرْحَمُهُ، وَأُشْفِقُ عَلَى مَنْ أُشْفِقُ عَلَيْهِ!» | ١٥ |
16 So then it is not in him that willeth, nor in him that runneth, but in God that sheweth mercy.
| إِذاً، لَا يَتَعَلَّقُ الأَمْرُ بِرَغْبَةِ الإِنْسَانِ وَلا بِسَعْيِهِ، وَإِنَّمَا بِرَحْمَةِ اللهِ فَقَطْ. | ١٦ |
17 For the Scripture saith vnto Pharao, For this same purpose haue I stirred thee vp, that I might shewe my power in thee, and that my Name might be declared throughout al the earth.
| فَإِنَّ اللهَ يَقُولُ لِفِرْعَوْنَ فِي الْكِتَابِ: «لِهَذَا الأَمْرِ بِعَيْنِهِ أَقَمْتُكَ: لأُظْهِرَ فِيكَ قُدْرَتِي وَيُعْلَنَ اسْمِي فِي الأَرْضِ كُلِّهَا». | ١٧ |
18 Therefore he hath mercie on whome he will, and whom he will, he hardeneth.
| فاللهُ إِذاً يَرْحَمُ مَنْ يَشَاءُ، وَيُقَسِّي مَنْ يَشَاءُ. | ١٨ |
19 Thou wilt say then vnto me, Why doeth he yet complaine? for who hath resisted his will?
| هُنَا سَتَقُولُ لِي: «لِمَاذَ يَلُومُ بَعْدُ؟ مَنْ يُقَاوِمُ قَصْدَهُ؟» | ١٩ |
20 But, O man, who art thou which pleadest against God? shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why hast thou made me thus?
| فَأَقُولُ: مَنْ أَنْتَ أَيُّهَا الإِنْسَانُ حَتَّى تَرُدَّ جَوَاباً عَلَى اللهِ؟ أَيَقُولُ الشَّيْءُ الْمَصْنُوعُ لِصَانِعِهِ: لِمَاذَا صَنَعْتَنِي هَكَذَا؟ | ٢٠ |
21 Hath not the potter power of the clay to make of the same lumpe one vessell to honour, and another vnto dishonour?
| أَوَ لَيْسَ لِصَانِعِ الْفَخَّارِ سُلْطَةٌ عَلَى الطِّينِ لِيَصْنَعَ مِنْ كُتْلَةٍ وَاحِدَةٍ وِعَاءً لِلاِسْتِعْمَالِ الرَّفِيعِ وَآخَرَ لِلاِسْتِعْمَالِ الوَضِيعِ؟ | ٢١ |
22 What and if God would, to shewe his wrath, and to make his power knowen, suffer with long patience the vessels of wrath, prepared to destruction?
| فَمَاذَا إِذاً إِنْ كَانَ اللهُ، وَقَدْ شَاءَ أَنْ يُظْهِرَ غَضَبَهُ وَيُعْلِنَ قُدْرَتَهُ، احْتَمَلَ بِكُلِّ صَبْرٍ أَوْعِيَةَ غَضَبٍ جَاهِزَةً لِلْهَلاكِ، | ٢٢ |
23 And that hee might declare the riches of his glory vpon the vessels of mercy, which hee hath prepared vnto glory?
| وَذَلِكَ بِقَصْدِ أَنْ يُعْلِنَ غِنَى مَجْدِهِ فِي أَوْعِيَةِ الرَّحْمَةِ الَّتِي سَبَقَ فَأَعَدَّهَا لِلْمَجْدِ، | ٢٣ |
24 Euen vs whome hee hath called, not of of the Iewes onely, but also of the Gentiles,
| فِينَا نَحْنُ الَّذِينَ دَعَاهُمْ لَا مِنْ بَيْنِ الْيَهُودِ فَقَطْ بَلْ مِنْ بَيْنِ الأُمَمِ أَيْضاً؟ | ٢٤ |
25 As he sayth also in Osee, I will call them, My people, which were not my people: and her, Beloued, which was not beloued.
| وَذَلِكَ عَلَى حَدِّ مَا يَقُولُ أَيْضاً فِي نُبُوءَةِ هُوشَعَ: «مَنْ لَمْ يَكُونُوا شَعْبِي سَأَدْعُوهُمْ شَعْبِي، وَمَنْ لَمْ تَكُنْ مَحْبُوبَةً سَأَدْعُوهَا مَحْبُوبَةً. | ٢٥ |
26 And it shalbe in the place where it was said vnto them, Ye are not my people, that there they shalbe called, The children of the liuing God.
| وَيَكُونُ أَنَّهُ حَيْثُ قِيلَ لَهُمْ: لَسْتُمْ شَعْبِي، فَهُنَاكَ يُدْعَوْنَ أَبْنَاءَ اللهِ الْحَيِّ». | ٢٦ |
27 Also Esaias cryeth concerning Israel, Though the number of the children of Israel were as the sand of the sea, yet shall but a remnant be saued.
| أَمَّا إِشَعْيَاءُ، فَيَهْتِفُ مُتَكَلِّماً عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ: «وَلَوْ كَانَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ كَرَمْلِ الْبَحْرِ عَدَداً، فَإِنَّ بَقِيَّةً مِنْهُمْ سَتَخْلُصُ. | ٢٧ |
28 For he wil make his account, and gather it into a short summe with righteousnes: for the Lord will make a short count in the earth.
| فَإِنَّ الرَّبَّ سَيَحْسِمُ الأَمْرَ وَيُنْجِزُ كَلِمَتَهُ سَرِيعاً عَلَى الأَرْضِ». | ٢٨ |
29 And as Esaias sayde before, Except the Lord of hostes had left vs a seede, we had bene made as Sodom, and had bene like to Gomorrha.
| وَكَمَا قَالَ إِشَعْيَاءُ سَابِقاً: «لَوْ لَمْ يُبْقِ لَنَا رَبُّ الْجُنُودِ نَسْلاً، لَصِرْنَا مِثْلَ سَدُومَ وَشَابَهْنَا عَمُورَةَ!» | ٢٩ |
30 What shall we say then? That the Gentiles which folowed not righteousnes, haue attained vnto righteousnes, euen the righteousnes which is of faith.
| فَمَا هِيَ خُلاصَةُ الْقَوْلِ؟ إِنَّ الأُمَمَ الَّذِينَ لَمْ يَكُونُوا يَسْعَوْنَ وَرَاءَ الْبِرِّ، قَدْ بَلَغُوا الْبِرَّ، وَلَكِنَّهُ الْبِرُّ الْقَائِمُ عَلَى أَسَاسِ الإِيمَانِ. | ٣٠ |
31 But Israel which followed the Lawe of righteousnes, could not arteine vnto the Law of righteousnes.
| أَمَّا إِسْرَائِيلُ، وَقَدْ كَانُوا يَسْعَوْنَ وَرَاءَ شَرِيعَةٍ تَهْدِفُ إِلَى الْبِرِّ، فَقَدْ فَشَلُوا حَتَّى فِي بُلُوغِ الشَّرِيعَةِ. | ٣١ |
32 Wherefore? Because they sought it not by faith, but as it were by the workes of the Lawe: for they haue stumbled at the stumbling stone,
| وَلأَيِّ سَبَبٍ؟ لأَنَّ سَعْيَهُمْ لَمْ يَكُنْ عَلَى أَسَاسِ الإِيمَانِ، بَلْ كَانَ وَكَأَنَّ الأَمْرَ قَائِمٌ عَلَى الأَعْمَالِ. فَقَدْ تَعَثَّرُوا بِحَجَرِ الْعَثْرَةِ، | ٣٢ |
33 As it is written, Beholde, I lay in Sion a stumbling stone, and a rocke to make men fall: and euery one that beleeueth in him, shall not be ashamed.
| كَمَا كُتِبَ: «هَا أَنَا وَاضِعٌ فِي صِهْيَوْنَ حَجَرَ عَثْرَةٍ وَصَخْرَةَ سُقُوطٍ. وَمَنْ يُؤْمِنُ بِهِ لَا يَخِيبُ». | ٣٣ |
