Romans 15

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

1 فَيَجِبُ عَلَيْنَا نَحْنُ ٱلْأَقْوِيَاءَ أَنْ نَحْتَمِلَ أَضْعَافَ ٱلضُّعَفَاءِ، وَلَا نُرْضِيَ أَنْفُسَنَا.

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

2 فَلْيُرْضِ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مِنَّا قَرِيبَهُ لِلْخَيْرِ، لِأَجْلِ ٱلْبُنْيَانِ.

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 لِأَنَّ ٱلْمَسِيحَ أَيْضًا لَمْ يُرْضِ نَفْسَهُ، بَلْ كَمَا هُوَ مَكْتُوبٌ: «تَعْيِيرَاتُ مُعَيِّرِيكَ 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 لِأَنَّ كُلَّ مَا سَبَقَ فَكُتِبَ كُتِبَ لِأَجْلِ تَعْلِيمِنَا، حَتَّى بِٱلصَّبْرِ وَٱلتَّعْزِيَةِ بِمَا فِي ٱلْكُتُبِ يَكُونُ لَنَا رَجَاءٌ.

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

5 وَلْيُعْطِكُمْ إِلَهُ ٱلصَّبْرِ وَٱلتَّعْزِيَةِ أَنْ تَهْتَمُّوا ٱهْتِمَامًا وَاحِدًا فِيمَا بَيْنَكُمْ، بِحَسَبِ ٱلْمَسِيحِ يَسُوعَ،

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

6 لِكَيْ تُمَجِّدُوا ٱللهَ أَبَا رَبِّنَا يَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ، بِنَفْسٍ وَاحِدَةٍ وَفَمٍ وَاحِدٍ.

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

7 لِذَلِكَ ٱقْبَلُوا بَعْضُكُمْ بَعْضًا كَمَا أَنَّ ٱلْمَسِيحَ أَيْضًا قَبِلَنَا، لِمَجْدِ ٱللهِ.

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 وَأَقُولُ: إِنَّ يَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحَ قَدْ صَارَ خَادِمَ ٱلْخِتَانِ، مِنْ أَجْلِ صِدْقِ ٱللهِ، حَتَّى يُثَبِّتَ مَوَاعِيدَ ٱلْآبَاءِ.

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 وَأَمَّا ٱلْأُمَمُ فَمَجَّدُوا ٱللهَ مِنْ أَجْلِ ٱلرَّحْمَةِ، كَمَا هُوَ مَكْتُوبٌ: «مِنْ أَجْلِ ذَلِكَ سَأَحْمَدُكَ فِي ٱلْأُمَمِ وَأُرَتِّلُ لِٱسْمِكَ».

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

10 وَيَقُولُ أَيْضًا: «تَهَلَّلُوا أَيُّهَا ٱلْأُمَمُ مَعَ شَعْبِهِ».

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

11 وَأَيْضًا: «سَبِّحُوا ٱلرَّبَّ يَاجَمِيعَ ٱلْأُمَمِ، وَٱمْدَحُوهُ يَا جَمِيعَ ٱلشُّعُوبِ».

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 وَأَيْضًا يَقُولُ إِشَعْيَاءُ: «سَيَكُونُ أَصْلُ يَسَّى وَٱلْقَائِمُ لِيَسُودَ عَلَى ٱلْأُمَمِ، عَلَيْهِ سَيَكُونُ رَجَاءُ ٱلْأُمَمِ».

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 وَلْيَمْلَأْكُمْ إِلَهُ ٱلرَّجَاءِ كُلَّ سُرُورٍ وَسَلَامٍ فِي ٱلْإِيمَانِ، لِتَزْدَادُوا فِي ٱلرَّجَاءِ بِقُوَّةِ ٱلرُّوحِ ٱلْقُدُسِ.

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 أَيْضًا مُتَيَقِّنٌ مِنْ جِهَتِكُمْ، يَا إِخْوَتِي، أَنَّكُمْ أَنْتُمْ مَشْحُونُونَ صَلَاحًا، وَمَمْلُوؤُونَ كُلَّ عِلْمٍ، قَادِرُونَ أَنْ يُنْذِرَ بَعْضُكُمْ بَعْضًا.

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

15 وَلَكِنْ بِأَكْثَرِ جَسَارَةٍ كَتَبْتُ إِلَيْكُمْ جُزْئِيًّا أَيُّهَا ٱلْإِخْوَةُ، كَمُذَكِّرٍ لَكُمْ، بِسَبَبِ ٱلنِّعْمَةِ ٱلَّتِي وُهِبَتْ لِي مِنَ ٱللهِ،

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 حَتَّى أَكُونَ خَادِمًا لِيَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ لِأَجْلِ ٱلْأُمَمِ، مُبَاشِرًا لِإِنْجِيلِ ٱللهِ كَكَاهِنٍ، لِيَكُونَ قُرْبَانُ ٱلْأُمَمِ مَقْبُولًا مُقَدَّسًا بِٱلرُّوحِ ٱلْقُدُسِ.

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

17 فَلِي ٱفْتِخَارٌ فِي ٱلْمَسِيحِ يَسُوعَ مِنْ جِهَةِ مَا لِلهِ.

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 لِأَنِّي لَا أَجْسُرُ أَنْ أَتَكَلَّمَ عَنْ شَيْءٍ مِمَّا لَمْ يَفْعَلْهُ ٱلْمَسِيحُ بِوَاسِطَتِي لِأَجْلِ إِطَاعَةِ ٱلْأُمَمِ، بِٱلْقَوْلِ وَٱلْفِعْلِ،

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 بِقُوَّةِ آيَاتٍ وَعَجَائِبَ، بِقُوَّةِ رُوحِ ٱللهِ. حَتَّى إِنِّي مِنْ أُورُشَلِيمَ وَمَا حَوْلَهَا إِلَى إِللِّيرِيكُونَ، قَدْ أَكْمَلْتُ ٱلتَّبْشِيرَ بِإِنْجِيلِ ٱلْمَسِيحِ.

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 وَلَكِنْ كُنْتُ مُحْتَرِصًا أَنْ أُبَشِّرَ هَكَذَا: لَيْسَ حَيْثُ سُمِّيَ ٱلْمَسِيحُ، لِئَلَّا أَبْنِيَ عَلَى أَسَاسٍ لِآخَرَ.

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 هُوَ مَكْتُوبٌ: «ٱلَّذِينَ لَمْ يُخْبَرُوا بِهِ سَيُبْصِرُونَ، وَٱلَّذِينَ لَمْ يَسْمَعُوا سَيَفْهَمُونَ».

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

22 لِذَلِكَ كُنْتُ أُعَاقُ ٱلْمِرَارَ ٱلْكَثِيرَةَ عَنِ ٱلْمَجِيءِ إِلَيْكُمْ.

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 وَأَمَّا ٱلْآنَ فَإِذْ لَيْسَ لِي مَكَانٌ بَعْدُ فِي هَذِهِ ٱلْأَقَالِيمِ، وَلِي ٱشْتِيَاقٌ إِلَى ٱلْمَجِيءِ إِلَيْكُمْ مُنْذُ سِنِينَ كَثِيرَةٍ،

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 ٱسْبَانِيَا آتِي إِلَيْكُمْ. لِأَنِّي أَرْجُو أَنْ أَرَاكُمْ فِي مُرُورِي وَتُشَيِّعُونِي إِلَى هُنَاكَ، إِنْ تَمَلَّأْتُ أَوَّلًا مِنْكُمْ جُزْئِيًّا.

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

25 وَلَكِنِ ٱلْآنَ أَنَا ذَاهِبٌ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ لِأَخْدِمَ ٱلْقِدِّيسِينَ،

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

26 لِأَنَّ أَهْلَ مَكِدُونِيَّةَ وَأَخَائِيَةَ ٱسْتَحْسَنُوا أَنْ يَصْنَعُوا تَوْزِيعًا لِفُقَرَاءِ ٱلْقِدِّيسِينَ ٱلَّذِينَ 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 ٱسْتَحْسَنُوا ذَلِكَ، وَإِنَّهُمْ لَهُمْ مَدْيُونُونَ! لِأَنَّهُ إِنْ كَانَ ٱلْأُمَمُ قَدِ ٱشْتَرَكُوا فِي رُوحِيَّاتِهِمْ، يَجِبُ عَلَيْهِمْ أَنْ يَخْدِمُوهُمْ فِي ٱلْجَسَدِيَّاتِ أَيْضًا.

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 فَمَتَى أَكْمَلْتُ ذَلِكَ، وَخَتَمْتُ لَهُمْ هَذَا ٱلثَّمَرَ، فَسَأَمْضِي مَارًّا بِكُمْ إِلَى ٱسْبَانِيَا.

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

29 وَأَنَا أَعْلَمُ أَنِّي إِذَا جِئْتُ إِلَيْكُمْ، سَأَجِيءُ فِي مِلْءِ بَرَكَةِ إِنْجِيلِ ٱلْمَسِيحِ.

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 فَأَطْلُبُ إِلَيْكُمْ أَيُّهَا ٱلْإِخْوَةُ، بِرَبِّنَا يَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ، وَبِمَحَبَّةِ ٱلرُّوحِ، أَنْ تُجَاهِدُوا مَعِي فِي ٱلصَّلَوَاتِ مِنْ أَجْلِي إِلَى ٱللهِ،

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 أُنْقَذَ مِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ غَيْرُ مُؤْمِنِينَ فِي ٱلْيَهُودِيَّةِ، وَلِكَيْ تَكُونَ خِدْمَتِي لِأَجْلِ أُورُشَلِيمَ مَقْبُولَةً عِنْدَ ٱلْقِدِّيسِينَ،

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

32 حَتَّى أَجِيءَ إِلَيْكُمْ بِفَرَحٍ بِإِرَادَةِ ٱللهِ، وَأَسْتَرِيحَ مَعَكُمْ.

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

33 إِلَهُ ٱلسَّلَامِ مَعَكُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ. آمِينَ.
