1 ف َيَنبَغِي عَلَينا نَحنُ الأقوِياءَ مِنْ جِهَةِ هَذِهِ المُعْتَقَداتِ، أنْ نَحتَمِلَ الضُّعَفاءَ، وَلا نَسعَى إلَى ما يُرضِينا فَقَطْ.

But we ought, we that are strong, to bear the infirmities of the weak, and not to please ourselves.

2 ف َيَنبَغِي عَلَى كُلِّ واحِدٍ مِنّا أنْ يُرضِيَ الآخَرِينَ مِنْ أجلِ خَيرِهِمْ، وَبِهَدَفِ بِنائِهِمْ.

Let each one of us please his neighbour with a view to what is good, to edification.

3 ف َحَتَّى المَسِيحُ لَمْ يُرضِ نَفسَهُ، بَلْ كَما يَقُولُ الكِتابُ: «إهاناتُ الَّذِينَ أهانُوكَ وَقَعَتْ عَلَيَّ.»

For the Christ also did not please himself; but according as it is written, The reproaches of them that reproach thee have fallen upon me.

4 و َلْنَتَذَكَّرْ أنَّ كُلَّ ما كُتِبَ فِي الماضِي كُتِبَ حَتَّى نَتَعَلَّمَ مِنهُ، فَيَكُونَ لَنا رَجاءٌ مِنَ الصَّبرِ وَالتَّشجِيعِ اللَّذَينِ نَجِدهُما فِي الكُتُبِ.

For as many things as have been written before have been written for our instruction, that through endurance and through encouragement of the scriptures we might have hope.

5 و َلْيُساعِدْكُمُ اللهُ، مَصدَرَ كُلِّ صَبْرٍ وَتَشجِيعٍ، عَلَى أنْ تَعِيشُوا فِي انسِجامٍ أحَدُكُمْ مَعَ الآخَرِ، مُتَّبِعِينَ مِثالَ المَسِيحِ يَسُوعَ.

Now the God of endurance and of encouragement give to you to be like-minded one toward another, according to Christ Jesus;

6 ف َتَتَّحِدَ أصواتُكُمْ وَقُلُوبُكُمْ فِي تَمجِيدِ إلَهِ رَبِّنا يَسُوعَ المَسِيحِ وَأبِيهِ.

that ye may with one accord, with one mouth, glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

7 ل ِهَذا اقبَلُوا بَعضُكُمْ بَعضاً، كَما قَبِلَكُمُ المَسِيحُ. افعَلُوا هَذا لِمَجدِ اللهِ.

Wherefore receive ye one another, according as the Christ also has received you to glory of God.

8 و َأقُولُ لَكُمْ إنَّ المَسِيحَ صارَ خادِماً لِليَهُودِ مِنْ أجلِ صِدقِ اللهِ، أيْ لِيُثَبِّتَ الوُعُودَ الَّتِي قَطَعَها لِلآباءِ.

For I say that Jesus Christ became a minister of circumcision for truth of God, to confirm the promises of the fathers;

9 ك َما فَعَلَ المَسِيحُ هَذا لِكَي تُمَجِّدَ بَقِيَّةُ الأُمَمِ اللهَ عَلَى رَحمَتِهِ لَهُمْ. فَكَما يَقُولُ الكِتابُ: «لِهَذا سَأعتَرِفُ بِكَ بَينَ بَقيّةِ الأُمَمِ، وَسَأُنشِدُ تَسبِيحاً لاسمِكَ.»

and that the nations should glorify God for mercy; according as it is written, For this cause I will confess to thee among nations, and will sing to thy name.

10 و َيَقُولُ أيضاً: «افرَحِي أيَّتُها الأُمَمُ الأُخرَىْ مَعَ شَعبِ اللهِ.»

And again he says, Rejoice, nations, with his people.

11 ك َما يَقُولُ: «سَبِّحِي الرَّبَّ يا بَقِيَّةَ الأُمَمِ، وَلْتُسَبِّحْهُ كُلُّ الشُّعُوبِ.»

And again, Praise the Lord, all nations, and let all the peoples laud him.

12 و َيَقُولُ إشَعْياءُ: «سَيَظهَرُ مِنْ نَسلِ يَسَّى مَنْ يَقُومُ لِيَحكُمَ جَمِيعَ الأُمَمِ، فَيُعَلِّقونَ عَلَيهِ رَجاءَهُمْ.»

And again, Esaias says, There shall be the root of Jesse, and one that arises, to rule over nations: in him shall nations hope.

13 ف َلْيَملأكُمُ اللهُ، مَصدَرُ كُلِّ رَجاءٍ، بِكُلِّ الفَرَحِ وَالسَّلامِ بَينَما تَتَّكِلُونَ عَلَيهِ، حَتَّى تَفِيضُوا بِالرَّجاءِ بِقُوَّةِ الرُّوحِ القُدُسِ. بُولُسُ يَتَحَدَّثُ عَنْ خِدْمَتِه

Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that ye should abound in hope by power of Holy Spirit.

14 أ يُّها الإخوَةُ، كُلِّي ثِقَةٌ بِكُمْ. فَأنا أثِقُ بِأنَّكُمْ مَملُؤُونَ صَلاحاً وَكُلَّ مَعرِفَةٍ، وَأنَّكُمْ قادِرونَ أيضاً عَلَى أنْ يَنصَحَ بَعضُكُمْ بَعضاً.

But I am persuaded, my brethren, I myself also, concerning you, that yourselves also are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge, able also to admonish one another.

15 ل َكِنِّي كَتَبتُ إلَيكُمْ بِصَراحَةٍ شَدِيدَةٍ حَولَ بَعضِ المَسائِلِ لِتَذكِيرِكُمْ بِها أيُّها الإخوَةُ، وَذَلِكَ بِسَبَبِ العَطِيَّةِ الخاصَّةِ الَّتِي أعطانِي إيّاها اللهُ.

But I have written to you the more boldly, in part, as putting you in mind, because of the grace given to me by God,

16 و َهِيَ أنْ أكُونَ خادِماً لِلمَسِيحِ يَسُوعَ لِغَيرِ اليَهُودِ، مُعلِناً لَهُمْ بِشارَةَ اللهِ. وَكَكاهِنٍ، أُقَدِّمُ غَيرَ اليَهُودِ تَقدِمَةً مَقبُولَةً لَدَى اللهِ، وَمُقَدَّسَةً بِالرُّوحِ القُدُسِ.

for me to be minister of Christ Jesus to the nations, carrying on as a sacrificial service the glad tidings of God, in order that the offering up of the nations might be acceptable, sanctified by Holy Spirit.

17 ف َأنا أفتَخِرُ بِخِدمَتي للمَسِيحِ يَسُوعَ مِنْ أجلِ اللهِ.

I have therefore boast in Christ Jesus in the things which pertain to God.

18 و َلا أتَجَرَّأُ عَلَى الحَدِيثِ إلّا عَنْ ما فَعَلَهُ المَسِيحُ مِنْ خِلالِي فِي اقتِيادِ غَيرِ اليَهُودِ إلَى طاعَةِ اللهِ.

For I will not dare to speak anything of the things which Christ has not wrought by me, for obedience of nations, by word and deed,

19 أ كانَ ذَلِكَ بِأقوالِي أمْ بِسُلُوكِي أمْ بِقُوَّةِ المُعجِزاتِ وَالعَجائِبِ الَّتي بِقُوَّةِ رُوحِ اللهِ. فَقَدْ أكمَلتُ إعلانَ البِشارَةِ فِي كُلِّ مَكانٍ، مِنَ القُدسِ وُصُولاً إلَى مُقاطَعَةِ إليرِكُونَ.

in power of signs and wonders, in power of Spirit of God; so that I, from Jerusalem, and in a circuit round to Illyricum, have fully preached the glad tidings of the Christ;

20 و َقَدْ كُنتُ أطمَحُ دائِماً أنْ أُعلِنَ البِشارَةَ فِي كُلِّ مَكانٍ لا يُعرَفُ فِيهِ اسْمُ المَسِيحِ. وَلَيسَ هَدَفِي أنْ أبنِيَ عَلَى أساسٍ وَضَعَهُ شَخصٌ آخَرُ.

and so aiming to announce the glad tidings, not where Christ has been named, that I might not build upon another's foundation;

21 ل َكِنْ، كَما يَقُولُ الكِتابُ: «الَّذِينَ لَمْ يُخبَرُوا عَنهُ سَيَرَونَ، وَالَّذِينَ لَمْ يَسمَعُوا بِهِ سَيَفهَمُونَ.» خُطَّةُ بُولُسَ لِزِيارَةِ رُوما

but according as it is written, To whom there was nothing told concerning him, they shall see; and they that have not heard shall understand.

22 ف َهَذا ما أعاقَنِي مَرّاتٍ كَثِيرَةً عَنْ زِيارَتِكُمْ.

Wherefore also I have been often hindered from coming to you.

23 أ مّا الآنَ، فَقَدِ انْتَهَيتُ مِنْ عَمَلِي فِي تِلْكَ المَناطِقِ، وَلَدَيَّ مُنذُ سَنَواتٍ رَغْبَةٌ فِي زِيارَتِكُمْ.

But now, having no longer place in these regions, and having great desire to come to you these many years,

24 ف َسَأمُرُّ بِكُمْ فِي طَريقي إلىْ إسبانيا. وَبَعدَ أنْ أستَمتِعَ بِرِفقَتِكُمْ مُدَّةً مِنَ الزَّمانِ، آمَلُ أيضاً أنْ تُعِينُونِي عَلَى سَفَرِي إلَى هُناكَ.

whenever I should go to Spain; (for I hope to see you as I go through, and by you to be set forward thither, if first I shall have been in part filled with your company;)

25 ل َكِنِّي ذاهِبٌ الآنَ إلَى القُدسِ لِمُساعَدَةِ المُؤمِنِينَ المُقَدَّسِينَ هُناكَ.

but now I go to Jerusalem, ministering to the saints;

26 ف َقَدْ قَرَّرَتِ الكَنائِسُ فِي مُقاطَعَتَيْ مَكدُونِيَّةَ وَأخائِيَّةَ أنْ تَتَبَرَّعَ لِلمُؤمِنِينَ المُقَدَّسينَ الفُقَراءِ فِي القُدسِ.

for Macedonia and Achaia have been well pleased to make a certain contribution for the poor of the saints who in Jerusalem.

27 ق َرَّرُوا ذَلِكَ لِأنَّهُمْ مَدْيونونَ لَهُمْ. فَبِما أنَّ الأُمَمَ الأُخرَى قَدِ اشتَرَكَتْ فِي بَرَكاتِ اليَهُودِ الرُّوحِيَّةِ، فَيَنبَغي أنْ تَخدِمَهُمْ تَلْكَ الأُمَمُ فِي البَرَكاتِ المادِّيَّةِ.

They have been well pleased indeed, and they are their debtors; for if the nations have participated in their spiritual things, they ought also in fleshly to minister to them.

28 إ ذاً، بَعدَ أنْ أحْمِلَ هَذا المالَ بِأمانٍ إلَيْهِمْ، وَأفرَغَ مِنْ هَذِهِ المَهَمَّةِ، سَأُبحِرُ إلَى إسبانيا وَأزُورُكُمْ فِي طَرِيقِي إلَيها.

Having finished this therefore, and having sealed to them this fruit, I will set off by you into Spain.

29 و َأنا أعلَمُ أنَّنِي حِينَ أزُورُكُمْ، سَآتِي بِبَرَكَةِ المَسِيحِ الكامِلَةِ لَكُمْ.

But I know that, coming to you, I shall come in fulness of blessing of Christ.

30 أ يُّها الإخوَةُ، أُناشِدُكُمْ بِرَبِّنا يَسُوعَ المَسيحِ، وَبِالمَحَبَّةِ النّابِعِةِ مِنَ الرُّوحِ القُدُسِ، أنْ تُشارِكُونِي جِهادِيَ فِي الخِدمَةِ، فَتُصَلُّوا إلَى اللهِ مِنْ أجلِي،

But I beseech you, brethren, by our Lord Jesus Christ, and by the love of the Spirit, that ye strive together with me in prayers for me to God;

31 ل ِكَي يُنَجِّيَنِي مِنْ غَيرِ المُؤمِنِينَ فِي إقلِيمِ اليَهُودِيَّةِ، وَأنْ تَكُونَ خِدمَتي مَقبُولَةً لَدَى المُؤمِنِينَ المُقَدَّسِينَ فِي مَدينَةِ القُدسِ.

that I may be saved from those that do not believe in Judaea; and that my ministry which for Jerusalem may be acceptable to the saints;

32 ف َهَكَذا أستَطيعُ بِمَشِيئَةِ اللهِ أنْ أزُورَكُمْ بِفَرَحٍ، لِنَستَريحَ مَعاً.

in order that I may come to you in joy by God's will, and that I may be refreshed with you.

33 ل ِيَكُنِ اللهُ مَصدَرُ كُلِّ سَلامٍ، مَعَكُمْ جَمِيعاً. آمِين.

And the God of peace be with you all. Amen.
