1 م ِنْ بُولُسَ عَبْدِ المَسِيحِ يَسُوعَ، المَدْعُوِّ لأكُونَ رَسُولاً، وَلأُنادي بِبِشارَةِ اللهِ

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

2 ا لَّتي سَبَقَ أنْ وَعَدَنا اللهُ بِها مِنْ خِلالِ الأنبِياءُ فِي الكُتُبِ المُقَدَّسَةِ.

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

3 و َهِيَ البِشارَةُ المُختَصَّةُ بابنِهِ الَّذي يَعُودُ نَسَبُهُ مِنْ حَيثُ بَشَرِيَّتِهِ إلَى داوُدَ.

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

4 و َبِالرُّوحِ القُدُسِ، أُقِيمَ مِنَ المَوتِ، فَتَبَرهَنَ بِقُوَّةٍ أنَّهُ هُوَ ابنُ اللهِ،

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,

5 ا لَّذِي فِيهِ نِلتُ أنا نِعمَةَ أنْ أكُونَ رَسولاً لِغَيرِ اليَهُودِ، لِكَي يَأْتوا إلَى طاعَةِ اللهِ بِالإيمانِ، مِنْ أجلِ اسْمِهِ.

through whom we received grace and apostleship, for obedience of faith among all the nations, for his name’s sake;

6 و َأنتُمْ أيضاً مَدعُوُّونَ مِنَ اللهِ لِلانتِماءِ إلَى يَسُوعَ المَسِيحِ.

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

7 إ لَيكُمْ جَمِيعاً، أنتُمِ المَوجُودِينَ فِي رُوما. أنتُمْ مَحبُوبُونَ مِنَ اللهِ الَّذِي دَعاكُمْ لِتَكُونُوا مُقَدَّسينَ لَهُ. لِتَكُنْ لَكُمْ نِعمَةٌ وَسَلامٌ مِنَ اللهِ أبِينا، وَمِنَ الرَّبِّ يَسُوعَ المَسِيحِ. صَلاةُ شُكر

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

8 أ وَّلاً أنا أشكُرَ اللهَ بِيَسُوعَ المَسِيحِ مِنْ أجلِكُمْ جَمِيعاً، لِأنَّ إيمانَكُمْ هُوَ حَدِيثُ العالَمِ كُلِّهِ.

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

9 و َيَشْهَدُ اللهُ الَّذِي أخدِمُهُ بِكُلِّ قَلبِي وَأُنادي بِبِشارَةِ ابنِهِ، أنِّي أذكُرُكُمْ فِي صَلَواتِي دائِماً.

For God is my witness, whom I serve in my spirit in the Good News of his Son, how unceasingly I make mention of you always in my prayers,

10 و َأنا أُصَلِّي إلَى اللهِ دائِماً أنْ يُتِيحَ لِي فُرصَةَ زِيارَتِكُمْ، إنْ كانَتْ تِلكَ مَشِيئَتُهُ.

requesting, if by any means now at last I may be prospered by the will of God to come to you.

11 ف َأنا فِي أشَدِّ الشَّوقِ إلَى رُؤيَتِكُمْ، لِكَي أُشارِكَكُمْ فِي عَطِيَّةٍ رُوحِيَّةٍ، فَتَتَقَوَّوا،

For I long to see you, that I may impart to you some spiritual gift, to the end that you may be established;

12 و َنَتَشَجَّعَ مَعاً، حِينَ أكُونُ بَينَكُمْ، بِالإيمانِ الَّذِي فِينا. فَأتَشَجَّعَ بِإيمانِكُمْ وَتَتَشَجَّعونَ بِإيمانِي.

that is, that I with you may be encouraged in you, each of us by the other’s faith, both yours and mine.

13 أ يُّها الإخوَةُ، أُرِيدُكُمْ أنْ تَعرِفُوا أنَّنِي كَثِيراً ما نَوَيتُ أنْ أزُورَكُمْ، كَما فِي بَقِيَّةِ الأُمَمِ غَيرِ اليَهُودِيةِ، لَكِنِّي أُعِقْتُ حَتَّى الآنَ.

Now I don’t 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 rest of the Gentiles.

14 أ نا مَدِينٌ لِليُونانِيِّينَ وَغَيرِ اليُونانِيِّينَ، لَلمُتَعَلِّمِينَ وَلِغَيرِ المُتَعَلِّمِينَ.

I am debtor both to Greeks and to foreigners, both to the wise and to the foolish.

15 ل ِهَذا أنا مُستَعِدٌّ أنْ أُعلِنَ لَكُمْ أنتُمِ المَوجُودِينَ فِي رُوما هَذِهِ البِشارَةَ.

So, as much as is in me, I am eager to preach the Good News to you also who are in Rome.

16 ف َأنا لا أخجَلُ مِنَ البِشارَةِ بِالمَسيحِ، فَهِيَ قُوَّةُ اللهِ لِخَلاصِ كُلِّ مَنْ يُؤمِنُ. أوَّلاً لِليَهُودِ، وَالآنَ لِغَيرِ اليَهُودِ أيضاً.

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

17 ف َفِي البِشارَةِ، يُعلَنُ أنَّ اللهَ يُبَرِّرُ بِالإيمانِ مِنَ البِدايَةِ إلَى النِّهايَةِ. فَكَما يَقُولُ الكِتابُ: «البارُّ بِالإيمانِ يَحيا.» جَمِيعُ النّاسِ أخطَأُوا

For in it is revealed God’s righteousness from faith to faith. As it is written, “But the righteous shall live by faith.”

18 إ نَّ غَضَبَ اللهِ مُعلَنٌ مِنَ السَّماءِ عَلَى كُلِّ شَرِّ وَاثْمِ النّاسِ الَّذِينَ يُخْفُونَ الحَقَّ بِإثمِهِمْ.

For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness,

19 ه َذا لأنَّ المَعرِفَةَ عَنِ اللهِ وَاضِحَةٌ لَهُمْ، لِأنَّ اللهَ جَعَلَها وَاضِحَةً لَهُمْ.

because that which is known of God is revealed in them, for God revealed it to them.

20 ف َمُنذُ أنْ خُلِقَ العالَمُ، يَستَطِيعُ الإنسانُ أنْ يَفهَمَ وَأنْ يُدرِكَ صِفاتَ اللهِ غَيرَ المَرئِيَّةِ، كَقُوَّتِهِ السَّرمَدِيَّةِ وَأُلُوهيَّتِهِ، لأنَّ إدراكَها مُمكِنٌ مِنْ خِلالِ الأشياءِ الَّتِي خَلَقَها. وَلِهَذا فَإنَّ النّاسَ بِلا عُذرٍ.

For the invisible things of him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, even his everlasting power and divinity; that they may be without excuse.

21 ف َقَدْ عَرَفُوا اللهُ، لَكِنَّهُمْ لَمْ يُعطُوهُ ما يَلِيقُ بِهِ مِنْ إكرامٍ أوْ يَشكُرُوهُ، بَلْ أظلَمَتْ أفكارُهُمُ الغَبِيَّةُ.

Because, knowing God, they didn’t glorify him as God, neither gave thanks, but became vain in their reasoning, and their senseless heart was darkened.

22 ا دَّعُوا الحِكْمَةَ، إلّا أنَّهُمْ صارُوا أغبِياءَ.

Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,

23 و َاستَبدَلُوا مَجدَ اللهِ الَّذِي لا يَفْنَى، بِصُوَرٍ تُشبِهُ الإنسانَ وَالطُّيُورَ وَالدَّوابَ وَالزَّواحِفَ الفانِيةَ.

and traded the glory of the incorruptible God for the likeness of an image of corruptible man, and of birds, and four-footed animals, and creeping things.

24 ك انَتْ شَهَواتُ قُلُوبِهِمْ شِرِّيرَةً، فَتَرَكَهُمُ اللهُ يُمارِسُونَ النَّجاسَةَ الجِنسِيَّةَ، وَسَمَحَ لَهُمْ بِأنْ يُدَنِّسُوا أجسادَهُمْ بَعضُهُمْ مَعَ بَعضٍ.

Therefore God also gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to uncleanness, that their bodies should be dishonored among themselves,

25 ا ستَبدَلُوا حَقَّ اللهِ بِالكَذِبِ، وَأكرَمُوا المَخلُوقَ وَعَبَدُوه دُونَ الخالِقَ الَّذِي يَستَحِقُّ التَّسبِيحَ وَالكَرامَةَ إلَى الأبَدِ.

who exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.

26 ل ِهَذا تَرَكَهُمُ اللهُ لِرَغَباتِهِمُ المُخزِيَةَ. فَاسْتَبدَلَتْ نِساؤهُمُ العَلاقاتِ الطَّبِيعِيَّةَ بِعَلاقاتٍ مُخالِفَةٍ للطَّبِيعَةِ.

For this reason, God gave them up to vile passions. For their women changed the natural function into that which is against nature.

27 و َكَذَلِكَ تَرَكَ الرِّجالُ العَلاقاتِ الطَّبِيعِيَّةَ مَعَ النِّساءِ، وَالتَهَبُوا شَهوَةً بَعضُهُمْ لِبَعضٍ. فَصارَ الذُّكُورُ يُمارِسُونَ أُمُوراً فاحِشَةً مَعَ الذُّكُورِ، وَحَمَلُوا فِي أنفُسِهِمُ العِقابَ الَّذِي استَحَقُّوهُ عَلَى انحِرافِهِمْ.

Likewise also the men, leaving the natural function of the woman, burned in their lust toward one another, men doing what is inappropriate with men, and receiving in themselves the due penalty of their error.

28 و َبِما أنَّهُمْ رَفَضُوا الاعتِرافَ بِاللهِ، فَقَدْ تَرَكَهُمُ اللهُ لِعُقُولِهِمُ الفاسِدَةِ. وَسَمَحَ لَهُمْ بِأنْ يَفعَلُوا ما لا يَلِيقُ.

Even as they refused to have God in their knowledge, God gave them up to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not fitting;

29 إ نَّهُمْ مُمتَلِئُونَ مِنْ كُلِّ إثمٍ وَشَرٍّ وَأنانِيَّةٍ وَخُبْثٍ. وَهُمْ مُمتَلِئُونَ حَسَداً وَقَتلاً وَخِصاماً وَخِداعاً وَحِقداً.

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

30 م ُحِبُّونَ لِلنَّمِيمَةِ، مُفتَرُونَ عَلَى الآخَرِينَ، كارِهُونَ للهِ، وَقِحُونَ، مَغرُورُونَ، مُتَباهُونَ، مُختَرِعُونَ شُرُوراً، لا يُطِيعُونَ وَالِدِيهِمْ،

backbiters, hateful to God, insolent, haughty, boastful, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,

31 ح َمقَى، لا يَحفَظُونَ وُعُودَهُمْ، خالُونَ مِنَ الحَنانِ وَالرَّحمَةِ،

without understanding, covenant breakers, without natural affection, unforgiving, unmerciful;

32 ي َعرِفُونَ حُكمَ اللهِ العادِلِ عَلَى الَّذِينَ يُمارِسُونَ مِثلَ هَذِهِ الأُمُورِ، وَهُوَ أنَّهُمْ مُستَحِقُّونَ لِلمَوتِ! وَمَعْ ذَلِكَ فَهُمْ لا يَكتَفُونَ بِمُمارَسَتِها، بَلْ يُعلِنُونَ أيضاً استِحسانَهُمْ لِلَّذِينَ يُمارِسُونَها!

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.
