Romans 12

1 Therefore I urge you, brothers, on account of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God, which is your spiritual service of worship.

1 فَأَطْلُبُ إِلَيْكُمْ أَيُّهَا ٱلْإِخْوَةُ بِرَأْفَةِ ٱللهِ أَنْ تُقَدِّمُوا أَجْسَادَكُمْ ذَبِيحَةً حَيَّةً مُقَدَّسَةً مَرْضِيَّةً عِنْدَ ٱللهِ، عِبَادَتَكُمُ ٱلْعَقْلِيَّةَ.

2 Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what is the good, pleasing, and perfect will of God.

2 وَلَا تُشَاكِلُوا هَذَا ٱلدَّهْرَ، بَلْ تَغَيَّرُوا عَنْ شَكْلِكُمْ بِتَجْدِيدِ أَذْهَانِكُمْ، لِتَخْتَبِرُوا مَا هِيَ إِرَادَةُ ٱللهِ: ٱلصَّالِحَةُ ٱلْمَرْضِيَّةُ ٱلْكَامِلَةُ.

3 For by the grace given me I say to every one of you: Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but think of yourself with sober judgment, according to the measure of faith God has given you.

3 فَإِنِّي أَقُولُ بِٱلنِّعْمَةِ ٱلْمُعْطَاةِ لِي، لِكُلِّ مَنْ هُوَ بَيْنَكُمْ: أَنْ لَا يَرْتَئِيَ فَوْقَ مَا يَنْبَغِي أَنْ يَرْتَئِيَ، بَلْ يَرْتَئِيَ إِلَى ٱلتَّعَقُّلِ، كَمَا قَسَمَ ٱللهُ لِكُلِّ وَاحِدٍ مِقْدَارًا مِنَ ٱلْإِيمَانِ.

4 Just as each of us has one body with many members, and not all members have the same function,

4 فَإِنَّهُ كَمَا فِي جَسَدٍ وَاحِدٍ لَنَا أَعْضَاءٌ كَثِيرَةٌ، وَلَكِنْ لَيْسَ جَمِيعُ ٱلْأَعْضَاءِ لَهَا عَمَلٌ وَاحِدٌ،

5 so in Christ we who are many are one body, and each member belongs to one another.

5 هَكَذَا نَحْنُ ٱلْكَثِيرِينَ: جَسَدٌ وَاحِدٌ فِي ٱلْمَسِيحِ، وَأَعْضَاءٌ بَعْضًا لِبَعْضٍ، كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ لِلْآخَرِ.

6 We have different gifts according to the grace given us. If one’s gift is prophecy, let him use it in proportion to his faith;

6 وَلَكِنْ لَنَا مَوَاهِبُ مُخْتَلِفَةٌ بِحَسَبِ ٱلنِّعْمَةِ ٱلْمُعْطَاةِ لَنَا: أَنُبُوَّةٌ فَبِٱلنِّسْبَةِ إِلَى ٱلْإِيمَانِ،

7 if it is serving, let him serve; if it is teaching, let him teach;

7 أَمْ خِدْمَةٌ فَفِي ٱلْخِدْمَةِ، أَمِ ٱلْمُعَلِّمُ فَفِي ٱلتَّعْلِيمِ،

8 if it is encouraging, let him encourage; if it is giving, let him give generously; if it is leading, let him lead with diligence; if it is showing mercy, let him do it cheerfully.

8 أَمِ ٱلْوَاعِظُ فَفِي ٱلْوَعْظِ، ٱلْمُعْطِي فَبِسَخَاءٍ، ٱلْمُدَبِّرُ فَبِٱجْتِهَادٍ، ٱلرَّاحِمُ فَبِسُرُورٍ.

9 Love must be sincere. Detest what is evil; cling to what is good.

9 اَلْمَحَبَّةُ فَلْتَكُنْ بِلَا رِيَاءٍ. كُونُوا كَارِهِينَ ٱلشَّرَّ، مُلْتَصِقِينَ بِٱلْخَيْرِ.

10 Be devoted to one another in brotherly love. Outdo yourselves in honoring one another.

10 وَادِّينَ بَعْضُكُمْ بَعْضًا بِٱلْمَحَبَّةِ ٱلْأَخَوِيَّةِ، مُقَدِّمِينَ بَعْضُكُمْ بَعْضًا فِي ٱلْكَرَامَةِ.

11 Do not let your zeal subside; keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord.

11 غَيْرَ مُتَكَاسِلِينَ فِي ٱلِٱجْتِهَادِ، حَارِّينَ فِي ٱلرُّوحِ، عَابِدِينَ ٱلرَّبَّ،

12 Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, persistent in prayer.

12 فَرِحِينَ فِي ٱلرَّجَاءِ، صَابِرِينَ فِي ٱلضِّيْقِ، مُواظِبِينَ عَلَى ٱلصَّلَاةِ،

13 Share with the saints who are in need. Practice hospitality.

13 مُشْتَرِكِينَ فِي ٱحْتِيَاجَاتِ ٱلْقِدِّيسِينَ، عَاكِفِينَ عَلَى إِضَافَةِ ٱلْغُرَبَاءِ.

14 Bless those who persecute you. Bless and do not curse.

14 بَارِكُوا عَلَى ٱلَّذِينَ يَضْطَهِدُونَكُمْ. بَارِكُوا وَلَا تَلْعَنُوا.

15 Rejoice with those who rejoice; weep with those who weep.

15 فَرَحًا مَعَ ٱلْفَرِحِينَ وَبُكَاءً مَعَ ٱلْبَاكِينَ.

16 Live in harmony with one another. Do not be proud, but associate with the lowly. Do not be conceited.

16 مُهْتَمِّينَ بَعْضُكُمْ لِبَعْضٍ ٱهْتِمَامًا وَاحِدًا، غَيْرَ مُهْتَمِّينَ بِٱلْأُمُورِ ٱلْعَالِيَةِ بَلْ مُنْقَادِينَ إِلَى ٱلْمُتَّضِعِينَ. لَا تَكُونُوا حُكَمَاءَ عِنْدَ أَنْفُسِكُمْ.

17 Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Carefully consider what is right in the eyes of everybody.

17 لَا تُجَازُوا أَحَدًا عَنْ شَرٍّ بِشَرٍّ. مُعْتَنِينَ بِأُمُورٍ حَسَنَةٍ قُدَّامَ جَمِيعِ ٱلنَّاسِ.

18 If it is possible on your part, live at peace with everyone.

18 إِنْ كَانَ مُمْكِنًا فَحَسَبَ طَاقَتِكُمْ سَالِمُوا جَمِيعَ ٱلنَّاسِ.

19 Do not avenge yourselves, beloved, but leave room for God’s wrath. For it is written: “Vengeance is Mine; I will repay, says the Lord.”

19 لَا تَنْتَقِمُوا لِأَنْفُسِكُمْ أَيُّهَا ٱلْأَحِبَّاءُ، بَلْ أَعْطُوا مَكَانًا لِلْغَضَبِ، لِأَنَّهُ مَكْتُوبٌ: «لِيَ ٱلنَّقْمَةُ أَنَا أُجَازِي، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ».

20 On the contrary, “If your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him a drink. For in so doing, you will heap burning coals on his head.”

20 «فَإِنْ جَاعَ عَدُوُّكَ فَأَطْعِمْهُ. وَإِنْ عَطِشَ فَٱسْقِهِ. لِأَنَّكَ إِنْ فَعَلْتَ هَذَا تَجْمَعْ جَمْرَ نَارٍ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ».

21 Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

21 لَا يَغْلِبَنَّكَ ٱلشَّرُّ بَلِ ٱغْلِبِ ٱلشَّرَّ بِٱلْخَيْرِ.
