Romans 15

1 We who are strong ought to bear with the shortcomings of the weak and not to please ourselves.

1 وَلكِنْ عَلَيْنَا نَحْنُ الأَقْوِيَاءَ، أَنْ نَحْتَمِلَ ضَعْفَ الضُّعَفَاءِ، وَأَنْ لَا نُرْضِيَ أَنْفُسَنَا.

2 Each of us should please his neighbor for his good, to build him up.

2 فَلْيَسْعَ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مِنَّا لإِرْضَاءِ قَرِيبِهِ مِنْ جِهَةِ مَا هُوَ صَالِحٌ، فِي سَبِيلِ الْبُنْيَانِ.

3 For even Christ did not please Himself, but as it is written: “The insults of those who insult You have fallen on Me.”

3 فَحَتَّى الْمَسِيحُ لَمْ يَسْعَ لإِرْضَاءِ نَفْسِهِ، بَلْ وَفْقاً لِمَا قَدْ كُتِبَ: «تَعْيِيرَاتُ الَّذِينَ يُعَيِّرُونَكَ وَقَعَتْ عَلَيَّ».

4 For everything that was written in the past was written for our instruction, so that through endurance and the encouragement of the Scriptures, we might have hope.

4 فَإِنَّ كُلَّ مَا سَبَقَ أَنْ كُتِبَ فَإِنَّمَا كُتِبَ لِتَعْلِيمِنَا، حَتَّى يَكُونَ لَنَا رَجَاءٌ بِمَا فِي الْكِتَابِ مِنَ الصَّبْرِ وَالْعَزَاءِ.

5 Now may the God who gives endurance and encouragement grant you harmony with one another in Christ Jesus,

5 وَلْيُعْطِكُمْ إِلهُ الصَّبْرِ وَالتَّعْزِيَةِ أَنْ تَكُونُوا مُتَوَافِقِينَ بَعْضُكُمْ مَعَ بَعْضٍ بِحَسَبِ الْمَسِيحِ يَسُوعَ،

6 so that with one mind and one voice you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

6 لِكَي تُمَجِّدُوا اللهَ أَبَا رَبِّنَا يَسُوعَ الْمَسِيحِ بِنَفْسٍ وَاحِدَةٍ وَفَمٍ وَاحِدٍ.

7 Accept one another, then, just as Christ accepted you, in order to bring glory to God.

7 لِذَلِكَ اقْبَلُوا بَعْضُكُمْ بَعْضاً، كَمَا أَنَّ الْمَسِيحَ أَيْضاً قَبِلَنَا لِمَجْدِ اللهِ.

8 For I tell you that Christ has become a servant of the circumcised on behalf of God’s truth, to confirm the promises made to the patriarchs,

8 فَإِنِّي أَقُولُ إِنَّ الْمَسِيحَ صَارَ خَادِمَ أَهْلِ الْخِتَانِ إِظْهَاراً لِصِدْقِ اللهِ وَتَوْطِيداً لِوُعُودِهِ لِلآبَاءِ،

9 so that the Gentiles may glorify God for His mercy. As it is written: “Therefore I will praise You among the Gentiles; I will sing hymns to Your name.”

9 وَإِنَّ الأُمَمَ يُمَجِّدُونَ اللهَ عَلَى الرَّحْمَةِ، وَفْقاً لِمَا قَدْ كُتِبَ: «لِهَذَا أَعْتَرِفُ لَكَ بَيْنَ الأُمَمِ وَأُرَتِّلُ لاِسْمِكَ!»

10 Again, it says: “Rejoice, O Gentiles, with His people.”

10 وَأَيْضاً قِيلَ: «افْرَحُوا، أَيُّهَا الأُمَمُ، مَعَ شَعْبِهِ».

11 And again: “Praise the Lord, all you Gentiles, and extol Him, all you peoples.”

11 وَأَيْضاً: «سَبِّحُوا الرَّبَّ يَا جَمِيعَ الأُمَمِ، وَلْتُحَمَدْهُ جَمِيعُ الشُّعُوبِ».

12 And once more, Isaiah says: “The Root of Jesse will appear, One who will arise to rule over the Gentiles; in Him the Gentiles will put their hope.”

12 وَيَقُولُ إِشَعْيَاءُ أَيْضاً: «سَيَطْلُعُ أَصْلُ يَسَّى، وَالْقَائِمُ، لِيَسُودَ عَلَى الأُمَمِ: عَلَيْهِ تُعَلِّقُ الشُّعُوبُ الرَّجَاءَ».

13 Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you believe in Him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.

13 فَلْيَمْلأْكُمْ إِلهُ الرَّجَاءِ كُلَّ فَرَحٍ وَسَلامٍ فِي إِيمَانِكُمْ حَتَّى تَزْدَادُوا رَجَاءً بِقُوَّةِ الرُّوحِ القُدُسِ.

14 I myself am convinced, my brothers, that you yourselves are full of goodness, brimming with knowledge, and able to instruct one another.

14 وَأَنَا نَفْسِي أَيْضاً عَلَى يَقِينٍ مِنْ جِهَتِكُمْ أَيُّهَا الإِخْوَةُ بِأَنَّكُمْ مَشْحُونُونَ صَلاحاً، وَمُمْتَلِئُونَ بِكُلِّ مَعْرِفَةٍ، وَقَادِرُونَ أَيْضاً عَلَى نُصْحِ بَعْضِكُمْ بَعْضاً.

15 However, I have written you a bold reminder on some points, because of the grace God has given me

15 عَلَى أَنِّي كَتَبْتُ إِلَيْكُمْ بِأَوْفَرِ جُرْأَةٍ فِي بَعْضِ الأُمُورِ، مُذَكِّراً لَكُمْ، وَذَلِكَ بِالنِّعْمَةِ الَّتِي وَهَبَهَا اللهُ لِي.

16 to be a minister of Christ Jesus to the Gentiles in the priestly service of the gospel of God, so that the Gentiles might become an offering acceptable to God, sanctified by the Holy Spirit.

16 وَبِذَلِكَ أَكُونُ خَادِمَ الْمَسِيحِ يَسُوعَ، الْمُرْسَلَ إِلَى الأُمَمِ، حَامِلاً إِنْجِيلَ اللهِ وَكَأَنِّي أَقُومُ بِخِدْمَةٍ كَهَنُوتِيَّةٍ، بِقَصْدِ أَنْ تُرْفَعَ لِلهِ مِنْ بَيْنِ الأُمَمِ تَقْدِمَةٌ تَكُونُ مَقْبُولَةً وَمُقَدَّسَةً بِالرُّوحِ القُدُسِ.

17 Therefore I exult in Christ Jesus in my service to God.

17 يَحِقُّ لِي إِذَنْ أَنْ أَفْتَخِرَ فِي الْمَسِيحِ يَسُوعَ بِمَا يَعُودُ لِلهِ مِنْ خِدْمَتِي.

18 I will not presume to speak of anything except what Christ has accomplished through me in leading the Gentiles to obedience by word and deed,

18 فَمَا كُنْتُ لأَتَجَاسَرَ أَنْ أَتَكَلَّمَ بِشَيْءٍ إِلّا عَلَى مَا عَمِلَهُ الْمَسِيحُ عَلَى يَدِي لِهِدَايَةِ الأُمَمِ إِلَى الطَّاعَةِ، بِالْقَوْلِ وَالْفِعْلِ،

19 by the power of signs and wonders, and by the power of the Spirit of God. So from Jerusalem all the way around to Illyricum, I have fully proclaimed the gospel of Christ.

19 وَبِقُوَّةِ الآيَاتِ وَالْعَجَائِبِ، وَبِقُوَّةِ رُوحِ اللهِ. حَتَّى إِنَّنِي، مِنْ أُورُشَلِيمَ وَمَا حَوْلَهَا حَتَّى مُقَاطَعَةِ إِلِّيرِيكُونَ، قَدْ أَكْمَلْتُ التَّبْشِيرَ بِإِنْجِيلِ الْمَسِيحِ.

20 In this way I have aspired to preach the gospel where Christ was not known, so that I would not be building on someone else’s foundation.

20 وَكُنْتُ حَرِيصاً عَلَى التَّبْشِيرِ حَيْثُ لَمْ يَكُنْ قَدْ عُرِفَ اسْمُ الْمَسِيحِ، لِكَيْ لَا أَبْنِيَ عَلَى أَسَاسٍ وَضَعَهُ غَيْرِي،

21 Rather, as it is written: “Those who were not told about Him will see, and those who have not heard will understand.”

21 بَلْ كَمَا قَدْ كُتِبَ: «الَّذِينَ لَمْ يُبَشَّرُوا بِهِ سَوْفَ يُبْصِرُونَ، وَالَّذِينَ لَمْ يَسْمَعُوا بِهِ سَوْفَ يَفْهَمُونَ».

22 That is why I have often been hindered from coming to you.

22 لِهَذَا السَّبَبِ أَيْضاً كُنْتُ أُعَاقُ عَنِ الْمَجِيءِ إِلَيْكُمْ مِرَاراً كَثِيرَةً.

23 But now that there are no further opportunities for me in these regions, and since I have longed for many years to visit you,

23 أَمَّا الآنَ، فَإِذْ لَمْ يَبْقَ لِي مَجَالٌ لِلْعَمَلِ بَعْدُ فِي هَذِهِ الْمَنَاطِقِ، وَبِي شَوْقٌ شَدِيدٌ إِلَى الْمَجِيءِ إِلَيْكُمْ طَوَالَ هَذِهِ السِّنِينَ الْكَثِيرَةِ،

24 I hope to see you on my way to Spain. And after I have enjoyed your company for a while, you can equip me for my journey.

24 فَعِنْدَمَا أَذْهَبُ إِلَى أَسْبَانِيَا أَرْجُو أَنْ أَمُرَّ بِكُمْ، فَأَرَاكُمْ وَتُسَهِّلُونَ لِي مُتَابَعَةَ السَّفَرِ بَعْدَ أَنْ أَتَمَتَّعَ بِلِقَائِكُمْ وَلَوْ لِفَتْرَةٍ قَصِيرَةٍ.

25 Now, however, I am on my way to Jerusalem to serve the saints there.

25 عَلَى أَنِّي الآنَ ذَاهِبٌ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ لِخِدْمَةِ الْقِدِّيسِينَ.

26 For Macedonia and Achaia were pleased to make a contribution for the poor among the saints in Jerusalem.

26 ذلِكَ أَنَّ مُؤْمِنِي مُقَاطَعَتَيْ مَقِدُونِيَّةَ وَأَخَائِيَّةَ حَسُنَ لَدَيْهِمْ أَنْ يَجْمَعُوا إِعَانَةً لِلْفُقَرَاءِ بَيْنَ الْقِدِّيسِينَ الَّذِينَ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ.

27 They were pleased to do it, and indeed they owe it to them. For if the Gentiles have shared in their spiritual blessings, they are obligated to minister to them with material blessings.

27 حَسُنَ لَدَيْهِمْ ذَلِكَ، وَهُمْ مَدِينُونَ لأُولئِكَ الْقِدِّيسِينَ: فَإِذَا كَانَ الأُمَمُ قَدِ اشْتَرَكُوا فِي مَا هُوَ رُوحِيٌّ عِنْدَ أُولئِكَ، فَعَلَيْهِمْ أَيْضاً أَنْ يَخْدِمُوهُمْ فِي مَا هُوَ مَادِّيٌّ.

28 So after I have completed this service and have safely delivered this bounty to them, I will set off to Spain by way of you.

28 فَبَعْدَ انْتِهَائِي مِنْ هَذِهِ الْمُهِمَّةِ، وَتسْلِيمِي هَذَا الثَّمَرَ لِلْقِدِّيسِينَ، سَأَنْطَلِقُ إِلَى أَسْبَانِيَا، مَارّاً بِكُمْ.

29 I know that when I come to you, I will come in the fullness of the blessing of Christ.

29 وَأَعْلَمُ أَنِّي، إِذَا جِئْتُ إِلَيْكُمْ، فَسَوْفَ أَجِيءُ فِي مِلْءِ بَرَكَةِ الْمَسِيحِ.

30 Now I urge you, brothers, by our Lord Jesus Christ and by the love of the Spirit, to join me in my struggle by praying to God for me.

30 فَأُنَاشِدُكُمْ، أَيُّهَا الإِخْوَةُ، بِرَبِّنَا يَسُوعَ الْمَسِيحِ وَبِمَحَبَّةِ الرُّوحِ، أَنْ تُجَاهِدُوا مَعِي فِي الصَّلَوَاتِ إِلَى اللهِ مِنْ أَجْلِي،

31 Pray that I may be delivered from the unbelievers in Judea, and that my service in Jerusalem may be acceptable to the saints there,

31 لِكَيْ أَنْجُوَ مِنْ غَيْرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ الَّذِينَ فِي الْيَهُودِيَّةِ، وَلِكَيْ تَكُونَ خِدْمَتِي هَذِهِ لِلْقِدِّيسِينَ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ مَقْبُولَةً عِنْدَهُمْ،

32 so that by God’s will I may come to you with joy and together with you be refreshed.

32 حَتَّى أَجِيءَ إِلَيْكُمْ فِي فَرَحٍ بِمَشِيئَةِ اللهِ فَأَنْتَعِشَ عِنْدَكُمْ وَأَسْتَرِيحَ.

33 The God of peace be with all of you. Amen.

33 وَلْيَكُنْ إِلهُ السَّلامِ مَعَكُمْ جَمِيعاً. آمِينَ!
