Romans 1

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

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

2 which he promised before through his prophets in the holy Scriptures,

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

3 concerning his Son, who was born of the offspring of David according to the flesh,

٣ وَهُوَ يَخْتَصُّ بِابْنِهِ الَّذِي جَاءَ مِنْ نَسْلِ دَاوُدَ مِنَ النَّاحِيَةِ الْبَشَرِيَّةِ؛

4 who was declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the Spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead, Jesus Christ our Lord,

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

5 through whom we received grace and the office of apostle, for obedience of faith among all the nations, for his name's sake;

٥ الَّذِي بِهِ وَلأَجْلِ اسْمِهِ نِلْنَا نِعْمَةً وَرِسَالَةً لإِطَاعَةِ الإِيمَانِ بَيْنَ جَمِيعِ الأُمَمِ،

6 among whom you are also called to belong to Jesus Christ;

٦ وَمِنْ بَيْنِهِمْ أَنْتُمْ أَيْضاً مَدْعُوُّو يَسُوعَ الْمَسِيحِ.

7 to all who are in Rome, loved by God, called to be saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

٧ إِلَى جَمِيعِ مَنْ هُمْ فِي رُومَا مِنْ أَحِبَّاءِ اللهِ الْقِدِّيسِينَ الْمَدْعُوِّينَ. لِتَكُنْ لَكُمُ النِّعْمَةُ وَالسَّلامُ مِنَ اللهِ أَبِينَا وَالرَّبِّ يَسُوعَ الْمَسِيحِ!

8 First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for all of you, because your faith is proclaimed throughout the whole world.

٨ أَوَّلاً، أَشْكُرُ إِلهِي بِيَسُوعَ الْمَسِيحِ مِنْ أَجْلِكُمْ جَمِيعاً، لأَنَّ إِيمَانَكُمْ يُذَاعُ خَبَرُهُ فِي الْعَالَمِ كُلِّهِ.

9 For God is my witness, whom I serve in my spirit in the Good News of his Son, how I constantly mention you

٩ فَإِنَّ اللهَ الَّذِي أَخْدِمُهُ بِرُوحِي فِي التَّبْشِيرِ بِإِنْجِيلِ ابْنِهِ، هُوَ شَاهِدٌ لِي كَيْفَ لَا أَتَوَقَّفُ عَنْ ذِكْرِكُمْ

10 always in my prayers, requesting, if by any means now at last I may succeed by the will of God to come to you.

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

11 For I long to see you, that I may impart to you some spiritual gift to strengthen you;

١١ فَإِنِّي أَشْتَاقُ أَنْ أَرَاكُمْ لأَحْمِلَ إِلَيْكُمْ بَرَكَةً رُوحِيَّةً لِتَثْبِيتِكُمْ،

12 that is, that you and I may be mutually encouraged by each other's faith, both yours and mine.

١٢ لِيُشَجِّعَ بَعْضُنَا بَعْضَاً بِالإِيمَانِ الْمُشْتَرَكِ، إِيمَانِكُمْ وَإِيمَانِي.

13 Now I do not desire to have you unaware, brothers, that I often planned to come to you, and was hindered so far, that I might have some fruit among you also, even as among the other non-Jewish people.

١٣ 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

14 I have an obligation both to Greeks and to barbarians, both to the wise and to the foolish.

١٤ فَإِنَّ عَلَيَّ دَيْناً لِلْيُونَانِيِّينَ وَالْبَرَابِرَةِ، لِلمُتَعَلِّمِينَ وَالْجُهَّالِ.

15 So, for my part, I am eager to preach the Good News to you also who are in Rome.

١٥ وَلِذلِكَ، فَبِكُلِّ مَا لَدَيَّ، أَنَا فِي غَايَةِ الشَّوْقِ أَنْ أُبَشِّرَ بِالإِنْجِيلِ أَيْضاً بَيْنَكُمْ أَنْتُمُ الَّذِينَ فِي رُومَا.

16 For I am not ashamed of the Good News, for it is the power of God for salvation for everyone who believes; for the Jew first, and also for the Greek.

١٦ فَأَنَا لَا أَسْتَحِي بِالإِنْجِيلِ، لأَنَّهُ قُدْرَةُ اللهِ لِلْخَلاصِ، لِكُلِّ مَنْ يُؤْمِنُ، لِلْيَهُودِيِّ أَوَّلاً ثُمَّ لِلْيُونَانِيِّ.

17 For in it is revealed God's righteousness from faith to faith. As it is written, "But the righteous will live by faith."

١٧ 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».

18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of people, who suppress the truth by unrighteousness,

١٨ فَإِنَّهُ قَدْ أُعْلِنَ غَضَبُ اللهِ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ عَلَى جَمِيعِ مَا يَفْعَلُهُ النَّاسُ مِنْ عِصْيَانٍ وَإِثْمٍ الَّذِينَ يَحْجُبُونَ الْحَقَّ بِالإِثْمِ.

19 because what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them.

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

20 For since the creation of the world his invisible attributes, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made. So they are without excuse. (aïdios g126)

٢٠ 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)

21 Because, although they knew God, they did not glorify him as God or give him thanks, but their thinking became nonsense, and their foolish heart was darkened.

٢١ فَمَعَ أَنَّهُمْ عَرَفُوا اللهَ، لَمْ يُمَجِّدُوهُ بِاعْتِبَارِهِ اللهَ، وَلا شَكَرُوهُ، بَلِ انْصَرَفُوا بِتَفْكِيرِهِمْ إِلَى الْحَمَاقَةِ وَصَارَ قَلْبُهُمْ لِغَبَاوَتِهِ مُظْلِماً.

22 Claiming to be wise, they became fools,

٢٢ وَفِيمَا يَدَّعُونَ أَنَّهُمْ حُكَمَاءُ، صَارُوا جُهَّالاً،

23 and traded the glory of the immortal God for images resembling mortal humans, and of birds, and four-footed animals, and crawling creatures.

٢٣ وَاسْتَبْدَلُوا بِمَجْدِ اللهِ الْخَالِدِ تَمَاثِيلَ لِصُوَرِ الإِنْسَانِ الْفَانِي وَالطُّيُورِ وَذَوَاتِ الأَرْبَعِ وَالزَّوَاحِفِ.

24 Therefore God also abandoned them in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, to the degrading of their bodies among themselves,

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

25 who exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served the creation rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen. (aiōn g165)

٢٥ إِذْ قَدِ اسْتَبْدَلُوا بِحَقِّ اللهِ مَا هُوَ بَاطِلٌ، فَاتَّقَوْا الْمَخْلُوقَ وَعَبَدُوهُ بَدَلَ الْخَالِقِ، الْمُبَارَكِ إِلَى الأَبَدِ. آمِين! (aiōn g165)

26 For this reason, God abandoned them to their degrading passions. For their women exchanged natural relations for that which is contrary to nature.

٢٦ لِهَذَا السَّبَبِ أَسْلَمَهُمُ اللهُ إِلَى الشَّهَوَاتِ الْمُخْزِيَةِ. فَإِنَّ إِنَاثَهُمْ تَحَوَّلْنَ عَنِ اسْتِعْمَالِ أَجْسَادِهِنَّ بِالطَّرِيقَةِ الطَّبِيعِيَّةِ إِلَى اسْتِعْمَالِهَا بِطَرِيقَةٍ مُخَالِفَةٍ لِلطَّبِيعَةِ.

27 Likewise also the men, giving up natural relations with women, burned in their lust toward one another, men with men, committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the due penalty of their error.

٢٧ 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.

28 Even as they refused to have God in their knowledge, God abandoned them to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not right;

٢٨ وَبِمَا أَنَّهُمْ لَمْ يَتَخَيَّرُوا إِبْقَاءَ اللهِ ضِمْنَ مَعْرِفَتِهِمْ، أَسْلَمَهُمُ اللهُ إِلَى ذِهْنٍ عَاطِلٍ عَنِ التَّمْيِيزِ دَفَعَهُمْ إِلَى مُمَارَسَةِ الأُمُورِ غَيْرِ اللّائِقَةِ.

29 being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil habits, secret slanderers,

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

30 slanderers, haters of God, insolent, arrogant, boastful, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,

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

31 foolish, promise-breakers, heartless, unforgiving, unmerciful;

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

32 who, knowing the ordinance of God, that those who practice such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but also approve of those who practice them.

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