Romans 2

1 For this reason, O man, each one of you who judges is inexcusable. For by that which you judge another, you condemn yourself. For you do the same things that you judge.

١ إِذَنْ، لَا عُذْرَ لَكَ أَيُّهَا الإِنْسَانُ الَّذِي يَدِينُ الآخَرِينَ، كَائِناً مَنْ كُنْتَ. فَإِنَّكَ بِمَا تَدِينُ غَيْرَكَ، تَدِينُ نَفْسَكَ: لأَنَّكَ أَنْتَ الَّذِي تَدِينُ تَفْعَلُ تِلْكَ الأُمُورَ نَفْسَهَا.

2 For we know that the judgment of God is in accord with truth against those who do such things.

٢ وَلَكِنَّنَا نَعْلَمُ أَنَّ دَيْنُونَةَ اللهِ عَلَى الَّذِينَ يَفْعَلُونَ مِثْلَ هذِهِ الأُمُورِ، هِيَ بِحَسَبِ الْحَقِّ.

3 But, O man, when you judge those who do such things as you yourself also do, do you think that you will escape the judgment of God?

٣ فَهَلْ تَظُنُّ، أَيُّهَا الإِنْسَانُ الَّذِي تَدِينُ مَنْ يَفْعَلُونَ مِثْلَ هذِهِ الأُمُورِ بَيْنَمَا تُمَارِسُهَا أَنْتَ، أَنَّكَ سَتُفْلِتُ مِنْ دَيْنُونَةِ اللهِ؟

4 Or do you despise the riches of his goodness and patience and forbearance? Do you not know that the kindness of God is calling you to repentance?

٤ أَمْ أَنَّكَ تَحْتَقِرُ غِنَى لُطْفِهِ وَصَبْرَهُ وَطُولَ أَنَاتِهِ وَأَنْتَ لَا تَعْرِفُ أَنَّ لُطْفَ اللهِ يَدْفَعُكَ إِلَى التَّوْبَةِ؟

5 But in accord with your hard and impenitent heart, you store up wrath for yourself, unto the day of wrath and of revelation by the just judgment of God.

٥ وَلكِنَّكَ بِسَبَبِ قَسَاوَتِكَ وَقَلْبِكَ غَيْرِ التَّائِبِ، تَخْزِنُ لِنَفْسِكَ غَضَباً لِيَوْمِ الْغَضَبِ، يَوْمَ تُعْلَنُ دَيْنُونَةُ اللهِ الْعَادِلَةُ.

6 For he will render to each one according to his works:

٦ فَإِنَّهُ سَيُجَازِي كُلَّ إِنْسَانٍ بِحَسَبِ أَعْمَالِهِ.

7 To those who, in accord with patient good works, seek glory and honor and incorruption, certainly, he will render eternal life. (aiōnios g166)

٧ فَتَكُونُ الْحَيَاةُ الأَبَدِيَّةُ لِلَّذِينَ يَسْعَوْنَ إِلَى الْمَجْدِ وَالْكَرَامَةِ وَالْخُلُودِ مُثَابِرِينَ عَلَى الْعَمَلِ الصَّالِحِ؛ (aiōnios g166)

8 But to those who are contentious and who do not acquiesce to the truth, but instead trust in iniquity, he will render wrath and indignation.

٨ وَيَكُونُ الْغَضَبُ وَالسُّخْطُ لِلْمُخَاصِمِينَ الَّذِينَ يَرْفُضُونَ الطَّاعَةَ لِلْحَقِّ وَلكِنَّهُمْ يَخْضَعُونَ لِلإِثْمِ.

9 Tribulation and anguish are upon every soul of man that works evil: the Jew first, and also the Greek.

٩ فَالشِّدَّةُ وَالضِّيقُ عَلَى نَفْسِ كُلِّ إِنْسَانٍ يَعْمَلُ الشَّرَّ، اليَهُودِيِّ أَوَّلاً ثُمَّ الْيُونَانِيِّ؛

10 But glory and honor and peace are for all who do what is good: the Jew first, and also the Greek.

١٠ وَالْمَجْدُ وَالْكَرَامَةُ وَالسَّلامُ لِكُلِّ مَنْ يَعْمَلُ الصَّلاحَ الْيَهُودِيِّ أَوَّلاً، ثُمَّ الْيُونَانِيِّ.

11 For there is no favoritism with God.

١١ فَلَيْسَ عِنْدَ اللهِ تَحَيُّزٌ.

12 For whoever had sinned without the law, will perish without the law. And whoever had sinned in the law, will be judged by the law.

١٢ فَإِنَّ جَمِيعَ الَّذِينَ أَخْطَأُوا وَهُمْ بِلا شَرِيعَةٍ، فَبِلا شَرِيعَةٍ يَهْلِكُونَ؛ وَجَمِيعُ الَّذِينَ أَخْطَأُوا وَهُمْ تَحْتَ الشَّرِيعَةِ، فَبِالشَّرِيعَةِ يُدَانُونَ.

13 For it is not the hearers of the law who are just before God, but rather it is the doers of the law who shall be justified.

١٣ فَلَيْسَ سَامِعُو الشَّرِيعَةِ هُمُ الأَبْرَارُ أَمَامَ اللهِ؛ بَلِ الْعَامِلُونَ بِالشَّرِيعَةِ يُبَرَّرُونَ.

14 For when the Gentiles, who do not have the law, do by nature those things which are of the law, such persons, not having the law, are a law unto themselves.

١٤ إِذَنِ الأُمَمُ الَّذِينَ بِلا شَرِيعَةٍ، عِنْدَمَا يُمَارِسُونَ بِالطَّبِيعَةِ مَا فِي الشَّرِيعَةِ، يَكُونُونَ شَرِيعَةً لأَنْفُسِهِمْ، مَعَ أَنَّ الشَّرِيعَةَ لَيْسَتْ لَهُمْ.

15 For they reveal the work of the law written in their hearts, while their conscience renders testimony about them, and their thoughts within themselves also accuse or even defend them,

١٥ فَهُمْ يُظْهِرُونَ جَوْهَرَ الشَّرِيعَةِ مَكْتُوباً فِي قُلُوبِهِمْ، وَتَشْهَدُ لِذلِكَ ضَمَائِرُهُمْ وَأَفْكَارُهُمْ فِي دَاخِلِهِمْ، إِذْ تَتَّهِمُهُمْ تَارَةً، وَتَارَةً تُبْرِئُهُمْ.

16 unto the day when God shall judge the hidden things of men, through Jesus Christ, according to my Gospel.

١٦ وَيَكُونُ الحُكْمُ يَوْمَ يَدِينُ اللهُ خَفَايَا النَّاسِ، وَفْقاً لإِنْجِيلِي، عَلَى يَدِ يَسُوعَ الْمَسِيحِ.

17 But if you are called by name a Jew, and you rest upon the law, and you find glory in God,

١٧ وَلكِنْ، إِنْ كُنْتَ تُدْعَى يَهُودِيًّا؛ وَتَتَّكِلُ عَلَى الشَّرِيعَةِ؛ وَتَفْتَخِرُ بِاللهِ؛

18 and you have known his will, and you demonstrate the more useful things, having been instructed by the law:

١٨ وَتُمَيِّزُ مَا هُوَ الأَفْضَلُ بِسَبَبِ مَا تَعَلَّمْتَهُ مِنَ الشَّرِيعَةِ؛

19 you become confident within yourself that you are a guide to the blind, a light to those who are in darkness,

١٩ وَلَكَ ثِقَةٌ فِي نَفْسِكَ بِأَنَّكَ قَائِدٌ لِلْعُمْيَانِ، وَنُورٌ لِلَّذِينَ فِي الظَّلامِ،

20 an instructor to the foolish, a teacher to children, because you have a type of knowledge and truth in the law.

٢٠ وَمُؤَدِّبٌ لِلْجُهَّالِ، وَمُعَلِّمٌ لِلأَطْفَالِ؛ وَلَكَ فِي الشَّرِيعَةِ صُورَةُ الْمَعْرِفَةِ وَالْحَقِّ؛

21 As a result, you teach others, but you do not teach yourself. You preach that men should not steal, but you yourself steal.

٢١ فَأَنْتَ إِذَنْ، يَا مَنْ تُعَلِّمُ غَيْرَكَ، أَمَا تُعَلِّمُ نَفْسَكَ؟ أَنْتَ يَا مَنْ تَعِظُ أَنْ لَا يُسْرَقَ، أَتَسْرِقُ؟

22 You speak against adultery, but you commit adultery. You abominate idols, but you commit sacrilege.

٢٢ أَنْتَ يَا مَنْ تَنْهَى عَنِ الزِّنَى، أَتَزْنِي؟ أَنْتَ يَا مَنْ تَسْتَنْكِرُ الأَصْنَامَ، أَتَسْرِقُ الْهَيَاكِلَ

23 You would glory in the law, but through a betrayal of the law you dishonor God.

٢٣ الَّذِي تَفْتَخِرُ بِالشَّرِيعَةِ، أَتُهِينُ اللهَ بِمُخَالَفَةِ الشَّرِيعَةِ؟

24 (For because of you the name of God is being blasphemed among the Gentiles, just as it was written.)

٢٤ فَإِنَّ «اسْمَ اللهِ يُجَدَّفُ عَلَيْهِ بَيْنَ الأُمَمِ بِسَبَبِكُمْ»، كَمَا هُوَ مَكْتُوبٌ.

25 Certainly, circumcision is beneficial, if you observe the law. But if you are a betrayer of the law, your circumcision becomes uncircumcision.

٢٥ فَإِنَّ الْخِتَانَ يَنْفَعُ إِنْ كُنْتَ تَعْمَلُ بِالشَّرِيعَةِ. وَلكِنْ إِنْ كُنْتَ مُخَالِفاً لِلشَّرِيعَةِ، فَقَدْ صَارَ خِتَانُكَ كَأَنَّهُ عَدَمُ خِتَانٍ.

26 And so, if the uncircumcised keep the justices of the law, shall not this lack of circumcision be counted as circumcision?

٢٦ إِذَنْ، إِنْ عَمِلَ غَيْرُ الْمَخْتُونِ بِأَحْكَامِ الشَّرِيعَةِ، أَفَلا يُحْسَبُ عَدَمُ خِتَانِهِ كَأَنَّهُ خِتَانٌ؟

27 And that which is by nature uncircumcised, if it fulfills the law, should it not judge you, who by the letter and by circumcision are a betrayer of the law?

٢٧ وَغَيْرُ الْمَخْتُونِ بِالطَّبِيعَةِ، إِذْ يُتَمِّمُ الشَّرِيعَةَ، يَدِينُكَ أَنْتَ يَا مَنْ تُخَالِفُ الشَّرِيعَةَ وَلَدَيْكَ الْكِتَابُ وَالْخِتَانُ.

28 For a Jew is not he who seems so outwardly. Neither is circumcision that which seems so outwardly, in the flesh.

٢٨ فَلَيْسَ بِيَهُودِيٍّ مَنْ كَانَ يَهُودِيًّا فِي الظَّاهِرِ، وَلا بِخِتَانٍ مَا كَانَ ظَاهِراً فِي اللَّحْمِ.

29 But a Jew is he who is so inwardly. And circumcision of the heart is in the spirit, not in the letter. For its praise is not of men, but of God.

٢٩ وَإِنَّمَا الْيَهُودِيُّ هُوَ مَنْ كَانَ يَهُودِيًّا فِي الْبَاطِنِ، وَالْخِتَانُ هُوَ مَا كَانَ خِتَاناً لِلْقَلْبِ بِالرُّوحِ لَا بِالْحَرْفِ. وَهَذَا يَأْتِيهِ الْمَدْحُ لَا مِنَ النَّاسِ بَلْ مِنَ اللهِ!
