Romans 10

1 Brothers, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for the Israelites is for their salvation.

1 أَيُّهَا ٱلْإِخْوَةُ، إِنَّ مَسَرَّةَ قَلْبِي وَطَلْبَتِي إِلَى ٱللهِ لِأَجْلِ إِسْرَائِيلَ هِيَ لِلْخَلَاصِ.

2 For I testify about them that they are zealous for God, but not on the basis of knowledge.

2 لِأَنِّي أَشْهَدُ لَهُمْ أَنَّ لَهُمْ غَيْرَةً لِلهِ، وَلَكِنْ لَيْسَ حَسَبَ ٱلْمَعْرِفَةِ.

3 Because they were ignorant of God’s righteousness and sought to establish their own, they did not submit to God’s righteousness.

3 لِأَنَّهُمْ إِذْ كَانُوا يَجْهَلُونَ بِرَّ ٱللهِ، وَيَطْلُبُونَ أَنْ يُثْبِتُوا بِرَّ أَنْفُسِهِمْ لَمْ يُخْضَعُوا لِبِرِّ ٱللهِ.

4 For Christ is the end of the law, to bring righteousness to everyone who believes.

4 لِأَنَّ غَايَةَ ٱلنَّامُوسِ هِيَ: ٱلْمَسِيحُ لِلْبِرِّ لِكُلِّ مَنْ يُؤْمِنُ.

5 For concerning the righteousness that is by the law, Moses writes: “The man who does these things will live by them.”

5 لِأَنَّ مُوسَى يَكْتُبُ فِي ٱلْبِرِّ ٱلَّذِي بِٱلنَّامُوسِ: «إِنَّ ٱلْإِنْسَانَ ٱلَّذِي يَفْعَلُهَا سَيَحْيَا بِهَا».

6 But the righteousness that is by faith says: “Do not say in your heart, ‘Who will ascend into heaven?’ (that is, to bring Christ down)

6 وَأَمَّا ٱلْبِرُّ ٱلَّذِي بِٱلْإِيمَانِ فَيَقُولُ هَكَذَا: «لَا تَقُلْ فِي قَلْبِكَ: مَنْ يَصْعَدُ إِلَى ٱلسَّمَاءِ؟» أَيْ لِيُحْدِرَ ٱلْمَسِيحَ،

7 or, ‘Who will descend into the Abyss?’ (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead).”

7 «أَوْ: مَنْ يَهْبِطُ إِلَى ٱلْهَاوِيَةِ؟» أَيْ لِيُصْعِدَ ٱلْمَسِيحَ مِنَ ٱلْأَمْوَاتِ.

8 But what does it say? “The word is near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart,” that is, the word of faith we are proclaiming:

8 لَكِنْ مَاذَا يَقُولُ؟ «اَلْكَلِمَةُ قَرِيبَةٌ مِنْكَ، فِي فَمِكَ وَفِي قَلْبِكَ» أَيْ كَلِمَةُ ٱلْإِيمَانِ ٱلَّتِي نَكْرِزُ بِهَا:

9 that if you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.

9 لِأَنَّكَ إِنِ ٱعْتَرَفْتَ بِفَمِكَ بِٱلرَّبِّ يَسُوعَ، وَآمَنْتَ بِقَلْبِكَ أَنَّ ٱللهَ أَقَامَهُ مِنَ ٱلْأَمْوَاتِ، خَلَصْتَ.

10 For with your heart you believe and are justified, and with your mouth you confess and are saved.

10 لِأَنَّ ٱلْقَلْبَ يُؤْمَنُ بِهِ لِلْبِرِّ، وَٱلْفَمَ يُعْتَرَفُ بِهِ لِلْخَلَاصِ.

11 It is just as the Scripture says: “Anyone who believes in Him will never be put to shame.”

11 لِأَنَّ ٱلْكِتَابَ يَقُولُ: «كُلُّ مَنْ يُؤْمِنُ بِهِ لَا يُخْزَى».

12 For there is no difference between Jew and Greek: The same Lord is Lord of all, and gives richly to all who call on Him,

12 لِأَنَّهُ لَا فَرْقَ بَيْنَ ٱلْيَهُودِيِّ وَٱلْيُونَانِيِّ، لِأَنَّ رَبًّا وَاحِدًا لِلْجَمِيعِ، غَنِيًّا لِجَمِيعِ ٱلَّذِينَ يَدْعُونَ بِهِ.

13 for, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”

13 لِأَنَّ «كُلَّ مَنْ يَدْعُو بِٱسْمِ ٱلرَّبِّ يَخْلُصُ».

14 How then can they call on the One in whom they have not believed? And how can they believe in the One of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone to preach?

14 فَكَيْفَ يَدْعُونَ بِمَنْ لَمْ يُؤْمِنُوا بِهِ؟ وَكَيْفَ يُؤْمِنُونَ بِمَنْ لَمْ يَسْمَعُوا بِهِ؟ وَكَيْفَ يَسْمَعُونَ بِلَا كَارِزٍ؟

15 And how can they preach unless they are sent? As it is written: “How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!”

15 وَكَيْفَ يَكْرِزُونَ إِنْ لَمْ يُرْسَلُوا؟ كَمَا هُوَ مَكْتُوبٌ: «مَا أَجْمَلَ أَقْدَامَ ٱلْمُبَشِّرِينَ بِٱلسَّلَامِ، ٱلْمُبَشِّرِينَ بِٱلْخَيْرَاتِ».

16 But not all of them welcomed the good news. For Isaiah says, “Lord, who has believed our message?”

16 لَكِنْ لَيْسَ ٱلْجَمِيعُ قَدْ أَطَاعُوا ٱلْإِنْجِيلَ، لِأَنَّ إِشَعْيَاءَ يَقُولُ: «يَارَبُّ، مَنْ صَدَّقَ خَبَرَنَا؟».

17 Consequently, faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ.

17 إِذًا ٱلْإِيمَانُ بِٱلْخَبَرِ، وَٱلْخَبَرُ بِكَلِمَةِ ٱللهِ.

18 But I ask, did they not hear? Indeed they did: “Their voice has gone out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the world.”

18 لَكِنَّنِي أَقُولُ: أَلَعَلَّهُمْ لَمْ يَسْمَعُوا؟ بَلَى! «إِلَى جَمِيعِ ٱلْأَرْضِ خَرَجَ صَوْتُهُمْ، وَإِلَى أَقَاصِي ٱلْمَسْكُونَةِ أَقْوَالُهُمْ».

19 I ask instead, did Israel not understand? First, Moses says: “I will make you jealous by those who are not a nation; I will make you angry by a nation without understanding.”

19 لَكِنِّي أَقُولُ: أَلَعَلَّ إِسْرَائِيلَ لَمْ يَعْلَمْ؟ أَوَّلًا مُوسَى يَقُولُ: «أَنَا أُغِيرُكُمْ بِمَا لَيْسَ أُمَّةً. بِأُمَّةٍ غَبِيَّةٍ أُغِيظُكُمْ».

20 And Isaiah boldly says: “I was found by those who did not seek Me; I revealed Myself to those who did not ask for Me.”

20 ثُمَّ إِشَعْيَاءُ يَتَجَاسَرُ وَيَقُولُ: «وُجِدْتُ مِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ لَمْ يَطْلُبُونِي، وَصِرْتُ ظَاهِرًا لِلَّذِينَ لَمْ يَسْأَلُوا عَنِّي».

21 But as for Israel he says: “All day long I have held out My hands to a disobedient and obstinate people.”

21 أَمَّا مِنْ جِهَةِ إِسْرَائِيلَ فَيَقُولُ: «طُولَ ٱلنَّهَارِ بَسَطْتُ يَدَيَّ إِلَى شَعْبٍ مُعَانِدٍ وَمُقَاوِمٍ».
