< Galatians 5 >

1 Stand firm therefore in the liberty by which Messiah has made us free, and don’t be entangled again with a yoke of bondage.
إِنَّ الْمَسِيحَ قَدْ حَرَّرَنَا وَأَطْلَقَنَا فِي سَبِيلِ الْحُرِّيَّةِ. فَاثْبُتُوا إِذَنْ، وَلا تَعُودُوا إِلَى الارْتِبَاكِ بِنِيرِ الْعُبُودِيَّةِ.١
2 Behold, I, Paul, tell you that if you receive circumcision, Messiah will profit you nothing.
هَا أَنَا بُولُسُ أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: إِنْ خُتِنْتُمْ، لَا يَنْفَعُكُمُ الْمَسِيحُ شَيْئاً.٢
3 Yes, I testify again to every man who receives circumcision that he is a debtor to do the whole law.
وَأَشْهَدُ مَرَّةً أُخْرَى لِكُلِّ مَخْتُونٍ بِأَنَّهُ مُلْتَزِمٌ أَنْ يَعْمَلَ بِالشَّرِيعَةِ كُلِّهَا.٣
4 You are alienated from Messiah, you who desire to be justified by the law. You have fallen away from grace.
يَا مَنْ تُرِيدُونَ التَّبْرِيرَ عَنْ طَرِيقِ الشَّرِيعَةِ، قَدْ حُرِمْتُمُ الْمَسِيحَ وَسَقَطْتُمْ مِنَ النِّعْمَةِ!٤
5 For we through the Spirit, by faith wait for the hope of righteousness.
فَإِنَّنَا، بِالرُّوحِ وَعَلَى أَسَاسِ الإِيمَانِ، نَنْتَظِرُ الرَّجَاءَ الَّذِي يُنْتِجُهُ الْبِرُّ.٥
6 For in Messiah Yeshua neither circumcision nor uncircumcision amounts to anything, but faith working through love.
فَفِي الْمَسِيحِ يَسُوعَ، لَا نَفْعَ لِلْخِتَانِ وَلا لِعَدَمِ الْخِتَانِ، بَلْ لِلإِيمَانِ الْعَامِلِ بِالْمَحَبَّةِ.٦
7 You were running well! Who interfered with you that you should not obey the truth?
كُنْتُمْ تَجْرُونَ جَرْياً جَيِّداً، فَمَنْ أَعَاقَكُمْ حَتَّى لَا تُذْعِنُوا لِلْحَقِّ؟٧
8 This persuasion is not from him who calls you.
هَذَا التَّضْلِيلُ لَيْسَ مِنَ الَّذِي دَعَاكُمْ!٨
9 A little yeast grows through the whole lump.
إِنَّ خَمِيرَةً صَغِيرَةً تُخَمِّرُ الْعَجِينَ كُلَّهُ.٩
10 I have confidence toward you in the Lord that you will think no other way. But he who troubles you will bear his judgment, whoever he is.
وَلَكِنَّ لِي ثِقَةً بِكُمْ فِي الرَّبِّ أَنَّكُمْ لَنْ تَعْتَنِقُوا رَأْياً آخَرَ. وَكُلُّ مَنْ يُثِيرُ الْبَلْبَلَةَ بَيْنَكُمْ سَيَلْقَى عِقَابَ ذَلِكَ، كَائِناً مَنْ كَانَ.١٠
11 But I, brothers, if I still proclaim circumcision, why am I still persecuted? Then the stumbling block of the cross has been removed.
وَأَمَّا أَنَا، أَيُّهَا الإِخْوَةُ، فَلَوْ صَحَّ أَنَّنِي مَازِلْتُ أَدْعُو إِلَى الْخِتَانِ، فَلِمَاذَا مَازِلْتُ أَلْقَى الاضْطِهَادَ؟ إِذَنْ لَكَانَتِ الْعَثْرَةُ الَّتِي فِي الصَّلِيبِ قَدْ زَالَتْ!١١
12 I wish that those who disturb you would cut themselves off.
لَيْتَ الَّذِينَ يُثِيرُونَ الْبَلْبَلَةَ بَيْنَكُمْ يَبْتُرُونَ أَنْفُسَهُمْ!١٢
13 For you, brothers, were called for freedom. Only don’t use your freedom as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love be servants to one another.
فَإِنَّمَا إِلَى الْحُرِّيَّةِ قَدْ دُعِيتُمْ، أَيُّهَا الإِخْوَةُ؛ وَلَكِنْ لَا تَتَّخِذُوا مِنَ الْحُرِّيَّةِ ذَرِيعَةً لإِرْضَاءِ الْجَسَدِ، بَلْ بِالْمَحَبَّةِ كُونُوا عَبِيداً فِي خِدْمَةِ أَحَدِكُمُ الآخَرَ.١٣
14 For the whole law is fulfilled in one word, in this: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”
فَإِنَّ الشَّرِيعَةَ كُلَّهَا تَتِمُّ فِي وَصِيَّةٍ وَاحِدَةٍ: «أَنْ تُحِبَّ قَرِيبَكَ كَنَفْسِكَ».١٤
15 But if you bite and devour one another, be careful that you don’t consume one another.
فَإِذَا كُنْتُمْ تَنْهَشُونَ وَتَفْتَرِسُونَ بَعْضُكُمْ بَعْضاً، فَاحْذَرُوا أَنْ يُفْنِيَ أَحَدُكُمُ الآخَرَ!١٥
16 But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you won’t fulfill the lust of the flesh.
إِنَّمَا أَقُولُ: اسْلُكُوا فِي الرُّوحِ. وَعِنْدَئِذٍ لَا تُتَمِّمُونَ شَهْوَةَ الْجَسَدِ أَبَداً.١٦
17 For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, that you may not do the things that you desire.
فَإِنَّ الْجَسَدَ يَشْتَهِي بِعَكْسِ الرُّوحِ، وَالرُّوحُ بِعَكْسِ الْجَسَدِ؛ وَهَذَانِ يُقَاوِمُ أَحَدُهُمَا الآخَرَ حَتَّى إِنَّكُمْ لَا تَفْعَلُونَ مَا تَرْغَبُونَ فِيهِ.١٧
18 But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.
وَلَكِنْ إِذَا كُنْتُمْ خَاضِعِينَ لِقِيَادَةِ الرُّوحِ، فَلَسْتُمْ فِي حَالِ الْعُبُودِيَّةِ لِلشَّرِيعَةِ.١٨
19 Now the deeds of the flesh are obvious, which are: adultery, sexual immorality, uncleanness, lustfulness,
أَمَّا أَعْمَالُ الْجَسَدِ فَظَاهِرَةٌ، وَهِيَ: الزِّنَى وَالنَّجَاسَةُ وَالدَّعَارَةُ،١٩
20 idolatry, sorcery, hatred, strife, jealousies, outbursts of anger, rivalries, divisions, heresies,
وَعِبَادَةُ الأَصْنَامِ وَالسِّحْرُ، وَالْعَدَاوَةُ وَالنِّزَاعُ وَالْغَيْرَةُ وَالْغَضَبُ، وَالتَّحَزُّبُ وَالانْقِسَامُ وَالتَّعَصُّبُ،٢٠
21 envy, murders, drunkenness, orgies, and things like these; of which I forewarn you, even as I also forewarned you, that those who practice such things will not inherit God’s Kingdom.
وَالْحَسَدُ وَالسُّكْرُ وَالْعَرْبَدَةُ، وَمَا يُشْبِهُ هذِهِ. وَبِالنَّظَرِ إِلَيْهَا، أَقُولُ لَكُمْ الآنَ، كَمَا سَبَقَ أَنْ قُلْتُ أَيْضاً، إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يَفْعَلُونَ مِثْلَ هذِهِ لَنْ يَرِثُوا مَلَكُوتَ اللهِ!٢١
22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faith,
وَأَمَّا ثَمَرُ الرُّوحِ فَهُوَ: الْمَحَبَّةُ وَالْفَرَحُ وَالسَّلامُ، وَطُولُ الْبَالِ وَاللُّطْفُ وَالصَّلاحُ، وَالأَمَانَةُ٢٢
23 gentleness, and self-control. Against such things there is no law.
وَالْوَدَاعَةُ وَضَبْطُ النَّفْسِ. وَلَيْسَ مِنْ قَانُونٍ يَمْنَعُ مِثْلَ هذِهِ الْفَضَائِلِ.٢٣
24 Those who belong to Messiah have crucified the flesh with its passions and lusts.
وَلَكِنَّ الَّذِينَ صَارُوا خَاصَّةً لِلْمَسِيحِ، قَدْ صَلَبُوا الْجَسَدَ مَعَ الأَهْوَاءِ وَالشَّهَوَاتِ.٢٤
25 If we live by the Spirit, let’s also walk by the Spirit.
إِذَا كُنَّا نَحْيَا بِالرُّوحِ، فَلْنَسْلُكْ أَيْضاً بِالرُّوحِ.٢٥
26 Let’s not become conceited, provoking one another, and envying one another.
لَا نَكُنْ طَامِحِينَ إِلَى الْمَجْدِ الْبَاطِلِ، يَسْتَفِزُّ بَعْضُنَا بَعْضاً، وَيَحْسُدُ أَحَدُنَا الآخَرَ!٢٦
