Romans 1

1 Paul, a servant of Christ Jesus, called to be an apostle, and set apart for the gospel of God—

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

2 the gospel He promised beforehand through His prophets in the Holy Scriptures,

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

3 regarding His Son, who was a descendant of David according to the flesh,

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

4 and who through the Spirit of holiness was declared with power to be the Son of God by His resurrection from the dead: Jesus Christ our Lord.

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

5 Through Him and on behalf of His name, we received grace and apostleship to call all those among the Gentiles to the obedience that comes from faith.

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

6 And you also are among those who are called to belong to Jesus Christ.

6 وَمِنْ بَيْنِهِمْ أَنْتُمْ أَيْضاً مَدْعُوُّو يَسُوعَ الْمَسِيحِ.

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

7 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 being proclaimed all over the world.

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

9 God, whom I serve with my spirit in preaching the gospel of His Son, is my witness how constantly I remember you

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

10 in my prayers at all times, asking that now at last by God’s will I may succeed in coming to you.

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

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

11 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.

12 لِيُشَجِّعَ بَعْضُنَا بَعْضَاً بِالإِيمَانِ الْمُشْتَرَكِ، إِيمَانِكُمْ وَإِيمَانِي.

13 I do not want you to be unaware, brothers, how often I planned to come to you (but have been prevented from visiting until now), in order that I might have a harvest among you, just as I have had among the other Gentiles.

13 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 am obligated both to Greeks and non-Greeks, both to the wise and the foolish.

14 فَإِنَّ عَلَيَّ دَيْناً لِلْيُونَانِيِّينَ وَالْبَرَابِرَةِ، لِلمُتَعَلِّمِينَ وَالْجُهَّالِ.

15 That is why I am so eager to preach the gospel also to you who are in Rome.

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

16 I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, first to the Jew, then to the Greek.

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

17 For the gospel reveals the righteousness of God that comes by faith from start to finish, just as it is written: “The righteous will live by faith.”

17 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 The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of men who suppress the truth by their wickedness.

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

19 For what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them.

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

20 For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood from His workmanship, so that men are without excuse.

20 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.

21 For although they knew God, they neither glorified Him as God nor gave thanks to Him, but they became futile in their thinking and darkened in their foolish hearts.

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

22 Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools,

22 وَفِيمَا يَدَّعُونَ أَنَّهُمْ حُكَمَاءُ، صَارُوا جُهَّالاً،

23 and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images of mortal man and birds and animals and reptiles.

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

24 Therefore God gave them over in the desires of their hearts to impurity for the dishonoring of their bodies with one another.

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

25 They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is forever worthy of praise! Amen.

25 إِذْ قَدِ اسْتَبْدَلُوا بِحَقِّ اللهِ مَا هُوَ بَاطِلٌ، فَاتَّقَوْا الْمَخْلُوقَ وَعَبَدُوهُ بَدَلَ الْخَالِقِ، الْمُبَارَكِ إِلَى الأَبَدِ. آمِين!

26 For this reason God gave them over to dishonorable passions. Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones.

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

27 Likewise, the men abandoned natural relations with women and burned with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men and received in themselves the due penalty for their error.

27 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 Furthermore, since they did not see fit to acknowledge God, He gave them up to a depraved mind, to do what ought not to be done.

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

29 They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed, and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, and malice. They are gossips,

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

30 slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant, and boastful. They invent new forms of evil; they disobey their parents.

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

31 They are senseless, faithless, heartless, merciless.

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

32 Although they know God’s righteous decree that those who do such things are worthy of death, they not only continue to do these things, but also approve of those who practice them.

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