Romans 3
1 Then what advantage does the Jew have? Or what is the profit of circumcision?
| ܡܢܐ ܗܝ ܗܟܝܠ ܝܬܝܪܘܬܗ ܕܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܐܘ ܡܢܐ ܝܘܬܪܢܗ ܕܓܙܘܪܬܐ |
2 Much in every way. Because first of all, they were entrusted with the oracles of God.
| ܤܓܝ ܒܟܠ ܡܕܡ ܠܘܩܕܡ ܕܐܬܗܝܡܢ ܡܠܘܗܝ ܕܐܠܗܐ |
3 For what if some were without faith? Will their lack of faith nullify the faithfulness of God?
| ܐܢ ܡܢܗܘܢ ܓܝܪ ܠܐ ܗܝܡܢܘ ܕܠܡܐ ܒܕܠܐ ܗܝܡܢܘ ܗܝܡܢܘܬܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܒܛܠܘ |
4 Absolutely not. Let God be found true, but every human being a liar. As it is written, "That you may be justified in your words, and prevail when you judge."
| ܚܤ ܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܓܝܪ ܐܠܗܐ ܫܪܝܪܐ ܘܟܠ ܒܪܢܫ ܕܓܠ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܕܟܬܝܒ ܕܬܗܘܐ ܟܐܝܢ ܒܡܠܝܟ ܘܬܙܟܐ ܟܕ ܕܝܢܝܢ ܠܟ |
5 But if our unrighteousness commends the righteousness of God, what will we say? Is God unrighteous who inflicts wrath? (I am speaking in human terms).
| ܐܢ ܕܝܢ ܥܘܠܢ ܟܐܢܘܬܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܡܩܝܡ ܡܢܐ ܢܐܡܪ ܠܡܐ ܥܘܠ ܗܘ ܐܠܗܐ ܕܡܝܬܐ ܪܘܓܙܗ ܐܝܟ ܒܪܢܫܐ ܗܘ ܡܡܠܠ ܐܢܐ |
6 Absolutely not. For then how will God judge the world?
| ܚܤ ܘܐܢ ܠܐ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܢܕܘܢ ܐܠܗܐ ܠܥܠܡܐ |
7 For if the truth of God through my lie abounded to his glory, why am I also still judged as a sinner?
| ܐܢ ܓܝܪ ܫܪܪܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܐܬܝܬܪ ܒܕܓܠܘܬܝ ܠܬܫܒܘܚܬܗ ܕܝܠܗ ܠܡܢܐ ܗܟܝܠ ܐܢܐ ܐܝܟ ܚܛܝܐ ܡܬܬܕܝܢ ܐܢܐ |
8 And why not (as we are slanderously reported, and as some affirm that we say), "Let us do evil, that good may come?" Their condemnation is just.
| ܐܘ ܕܠܡܐ ܐܝܟ ܕܡܓܕܦܝܢ ܥܠܝܢ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܕܐܡܪܝܢܢ ܕܢܥܒܕ ܒܝܫܬܐ ܕܢܐܬܝܢ ܛܒܬܐ ܗܢܘܢ ܕܕܝܢܗܘܢ ܢܛܝܪ ܗܘ ܠܟܐܢܘܬܐ |
9 What then? Are we better than they? No, in no way. For we previously warned both Jews and Greeks, that they are all under sin.
| ܡܢܐ ܗܟܝܠ ܐܚܝܕܝܢܢ ܝܬܝܪܐ ܕܩܕܡܢ ܦܤܩܢ ܥܠ ܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܘܥܠ ܐܪܡܝܐ ܕܬܚܝܬ ܚܛܝܬܐ ܐܢܘܢ ܟܠܗܘܢ |
10 As it is written, "There is no one righteous; no, not one."
| ܐܝܟ ܕܟܬܝܒ ܕܠܝܬ ܟܐܢܐ ܐܦܠܐ ܚܕ |
11 "There is no one who understands. There is no one who seeks after God.
| ܘܠܐ ܕܡܤܬܟܠ ܘܠܐ ܕܒܥܐ ܠܐܠܗܐ |
12 They have all turned aside. They have together become unprofitable. There is no one who does good, there is not even one."
| ܟܠܗܘܢ ܤܛܘ ܐܟܚܕܐ ܘܐܤܬܠܝܘ ܘܠܝܬ ܕܥܒܕ ܛܒܬܐ ܐܦܠܐ ܚܕ |
13 "Their throat is an open tomb. With their tongues they have used deceit." "Viper's poison is under their lips;"
| ܩܒܪܐ ܦܬܝܚܐ ܓܓܪܬܗܘܢ ܘܠܫܢܝܗܘܢ ܢܟܘܠܬܢܝܢ ܘܚܡܬܐ ܕܐܤܦܤ ܬܚܝܬ ܤܦܘܬܗܘܢ |
14 "Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness."
| ܦܘܡܗܘܢ ܡܠܐ ܠܘܛܬܐ ܘܡܪܬܐ |
15 "Their feet are swift to shed blood.
| ܘܪܓܠܝܗܘܢ ܩܠܝܠܢ ܠܡܐܫܕ ܕܡܐ |
16 Destruction and calamity are in their paths.
| ܫܚܩܐ ܘܕܘܘܢܐ ܒܐܘܪܚܬܗܘܢ |
17 The way of peace, they have not known."
| ܘܐܘܪܚܐ ܕܫܠܡܐ ܠܐ ܝܕܥܘ |
18 "There is no fear of God before their eyes."
| ܘܕܚܠܬܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܠܝܬ ܩܕܡ ܥܝܢܝܗܘܢ |
19 Now we know that whatever things the law says, it speaks to those who are under the law, that every mouth may be closed, and all the world may be brought under the judgment of God.
| ܝܕܥܝܢܢ ܕܝܢ ܕܡܕܡ ܕܐܡܪ ܢܡܘܤܐ ܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܒܢܡܘܤܐ ܐܢܘܢ ܐܡܪ ܕܟܠ ܦܘܡ ܢܤܬܟܪ ܘܥܠܡܐ ܟܠܗ ܢܬܚܝܒ ܠܐܠܗܐ |
20 Because by the works of the law, no flesh will be justified in his sight. For through the law comes the knowledge of sin.
| ܡܛܠ ܕܡܢ ܥܒܕܘܗܝ ܕܢܡܘܤܐ ܠܐ ܡܙܕܕܩ ܟܠ ܒܤܪ ܩܕܡܘܗܝ ܡܢ ܢܡܘܤܐ ܓܝܪ ܐܬܝܕܥܬ ܚܛܝܬܐ |
21 But now apart from the law, a righteousness of God has been revealed, being testified by the Law and the Prophets;
| ܗܫܐ ܕܝܢ ܕܠܐ ܢܡܘܤܐ ܟܐܢܘܬܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܐܬܓܠܝܬ ܘܡܤܗܕ ܥܠܝܗ ܗܘ ܢܡܘܤܐ ܘܢܒܝܐ |
22 even the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus (the) Messiah to all who believe. For there is no distinction,
| ܟܐܢܘܬܗ ܕܝܢ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܒܝܕ ܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܗܝ ܕܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܠܟܠܢܫ ܐܦ ܥܠ ܟܠܢܫ ܕܡܗܝܡܢ ܒܗ ܠܝܬ ܓܝܪ ܦܘܪܫܢܐ |
23 for all have sinned, and fall short of the glory of God;
| ܡܛܠ ܕܟܠܗܘܢ ܚܛܘ ܘܚܤܝܪܝܢ ܡܢ ܬܫܒܘܚܬܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ |
24 being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Messiah Jesus;
| ܘܡܙܕܕܩܝܢ ܒܛܝܒܘܬܐ ܡܓܢ ܘܒܦܘܪܩܢܐ ܕܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܒܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ |
25 whom God displayed publicly as a mercy seat, through faith in his blood, for a demonstration of his righteousness, because in God's forbearance he had passed over the sins previously committed;
| ܗܢܐ ܕܩܕܡ ܤܡܗ ܐܠܗܐ ܚܘܤܝܐ ܒܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܕܕܡܗ ܡܛܠ ܚܛܗܝܢ ܕܡܢ ܩܕܝܡ ܚܛܝܢ |
26 to demonstrate his righteousness at this present time, so that he would be just, and the justifier of him who has faith in Jesus.
| ܒܐܬܪܐ ܕܝܗܒ ܠܢ ܐܠܗܐ ܒܡܓܪܬ ܪܘܚܗ ܠܬܚܘܝܬܐ ܕܟܐܢܘܬܗ ܕܒܙܒܢܐ ܗܢܐ ܕܗܘ ܢܗܘܐ ܟܐܢܐ ܘܢܙܕܩ ܒܟܐܢܘܬܐ ܠܡܢ ܕܒܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܗܘ ܕܡܪܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ |
27 Where then is the boasting? It is excluded. By what manner of law? Of works? No, but by a law of faith.
| ܐܝܟܘ ܗܟܝܠ ܫܘܒܗܪܐ ܐܬܒܛܠ ܠܗ ܒܐܝܢܐ ܢܡܘܤܐ ܕܥܒܕܐ ܠܐ ܐܠܐ ܒܢܡܘܤܐ ܕܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ |
28 For we maintain that one is justified by faith apart from the works of the law.
| ܡܬܪܥܝܢܢ ܗܟܝܠ ܕܒܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܗܘ ܡܙܕܕܩ ܒܪܢܫܐ ܘܠܐ ܒܥܒܕܐ ܕܢܡܘܤܐ |
29 Or is God for Jews only? Is he not the God of the non-Jews also? Yes, of the non-Jews also,
| ܠܡܐ ܓܝܪ ܐܠܗܐ ܕܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܗܘ ܒܠܚܘܕ ܘܕܥܡܡܐ ܠܐ ܐܝܢ ܐܦ ܕܥܡܡܐ |
30 since indeed there is one God who will justify the circumcised by faith, and the uncircumcised through faith.
| ܡܛܠ ܕܚܕ ܗܘ ܐܠܗܐ ܕܡܙܕܩ ܓܙܘܪܬܐ ܒܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܐܦ ܥܘܪܠܘܬܐ ܒܗ ܒܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ |
31 Do we then nullify the law through faith? Absolutely not. No, we establish the law.
| ܠܡܐ ܗܟܝܠ ܢܡܘܤܐ ܗܘ ܡܒܛܠܝܢܢ ܒܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܚܤ ܐܠܐ ܢܡܘܤܐ ܗܘ ܡܩܝܡܝܢܢ |
