Romans 2 (NAV) · Opened

1إِذَنْ، 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.You, therefore, have no excuse, you who pass judgment on another. For on whatever grounds you judge the other, you are condemning yourself, because you who pass judgment do the same things.

2وَلَكِنَّنَا نَعْلَمُ أَنَّ دَيْنُونَةَ اللهِ عَلَى الَّذِينَ يَفْعَلُونَ مِثْلَ هذِهِ الأُمُورِ، هِيَ بِحَسَبِ الْحَقِّ.And we know that God’s judgment against those who do such things is based on truth.

3فَهَلْ تَظُنُّ، أَيُّهَا الإِنْسَانُ الَّذِي تَدِينُ مَنْ يَفْعَلُونَ مِثْلَ هذِهِ الأُمُورِ بَيْنَمَا تُمَارِسُهَا أَنْتَ، أَنَّكَ سَتُفْلِتُ مِنْ دَيْنُونَةِ اللهِ؟So when you, O man, pass judgment on others, yet do the same things, do you think you will escape God’s judgment?

4أَمْ أَنَّكَ تَحْتَقِرُ غِنَى لُطْفِهِ وَصَبْرَهُ وَطُولَ أَنَاتِهِ وَأَنْتَ لَا تَعْرِفُ أَنَّ لُطْفَ اللهِ يَدْفَعُكَ إِلَى التَّوْبَةِ؟Or do you disregard the riches of His kindness, tolerance, and patience, not realizing that God’s kindness leads you to repentance?

5وَلكِنَّكَ بِسَبَبِ قَسَاوَتِكَ وَقَلْبِكَ غَيْرِ التَّائِبِ، تَخْزِنُ لِنَفْسِكَ غَضَباً لِيَوْمِ الْغَضَبِ، يَوْمَ تُعْلَنُ دَيْنُونَةُ اللهِ الْعَادِلَةُ.But because of your hard and unrepentant heart, you are storing up wrath against yourself for the day of wrath, when God’s righteous judgment will be revealed.

6فَإِنَّهُ سَيُجَازِي كُلَّ إِنْسَانٍ بِحَسَبِ أَعْمَالِهِ.God “will repay each one according to his deeds.”

7فَتَكُونُ الْحَيَاةُ الأَبَدِيَّةُ لِلَّذِينَ يَسْعَوْنَ إِلَى الْمَجْدِ وَالْكَرَامَةِ وَالْخُلُودِ مُثَابِرِينَ عَلَى الْعَمَلِ الصَّالِحِ؛To those who by perseverance in doing good seek glory, honor, and immortality, He will give eternal life.

8وَيَكُونُ الْغَضَبُ وَالسُّخْطُ لِلْمُخَاصِمِينَ الَّذِينَ يَرْفُضُونَ الطَّاعَةَ لِلْحَقِّ وَلكِنَّهُمْ يَخْضَعُونَ لِلإِثْمِ.But for those who are self-seeking and who reject the truth and follow wickedness, there will be wrath and anger.

9فَالشِّدَّةُ وَالضِّيقُ عَلَى نَفْسِ كُلِّ إِنْسَانٍ يَعْمَلُ الشَّرَّ، اليَهُودِيِّ أَوَّلاً ثُمَّ الْيُونَانِيِّ؛There will be trouble and distress for every human being who does evil, first for the Jew, then for the Greek;

10وَالْمَجْدُ وَالْكَرَامَةُ وَالسَّلامُ لِكُلِّ مَنْ يَعْمَلُ الصَّلاحَ الْيَهُودِيِّ أَوَّلاً، ثُمَّ الْيُونَانِيِّ.but glory, honor, and peace for everyone who does good, first for the Jew, then for the Greek.

11فَلَيْسَ عِنْدَ اللهِ تَحَيُّزٌ.For God does not show favoritism.

12فَإِنَّ جَمِيعَ الَّذِينَ أَخْطَأُوا وَهُمْ بِلا شَرِيعَةٍ، فَبِلا شَرِيعَةٍ يَهْلِكُونَ؛ وَجَمِيعُ الَّذِينَ أَخْطَأُوا وَهُمْ تَحْتَ الشَّرِيعَةِ، فَبِالشَّرِيعَةِ يُدَانُونَ.All who sin apart from the law will also perish apart from the law, and all who sin under the law will be judged by the law.

13فَلَيْسَ سَامِعُو الشَّرِيعَةِ هُمُ الأَبْرَارُ أَمَامَ اللهِ؛ بَلِ الْعَامِلُونَ بِالشَّرِيعَةِ يُبَرَّرُونَ.For it is not the hearers of the law who are righteous before God, but it is the doers of the law who will be declared righteous.

14إِذَنِ الأُمَمُ الَّذِينَ بِلا شَرِيعَةٍ، عِنْدَمَا يُمَارِسُونَ بِالطَّبِيعَةِ مَا فِي الشَّرِيعَةِ، يَكُونُونَ شَرِيعَةً لأَنْفُسِهِمْ، مَعَ أَنَّ الشَّرِيعَةَ لَيْسَتْ لَهُمْ.Indeed, when Gentiles, who do not have the law, do by nature what the law requires, they are a law to themselves, even though they do not have the law.

15فَهُمْ يُظْهِرُونَ جَوْهَرَ الشَّرِيعَةِ مَكْتُوباً فِي قُلُوبِهِمْ، وَتَشْهَدُ لِذلِكَ ضَمَائِرُهُمْ وَأَفْكَارُهُمْ فِي دَاخِلِهِمْ، إِذْ تَتَّهِمُهُمْ تَارَةً، وَتَارَةً تُبْرِئُهُمْ.So they show that the work of the law is written on their hearts, their consciences also bearing witness, and their thoughts either accusing or defending them

16وَيَكُونُ الحُكْمُ يَوْمَ يَدِينُ اللهُ خَفَايَا النَّاسِ، وَفْقاً لإِنْجِيلِي، عَلَى يَدِ يَسُوعَ الْمَسِيحِ.on the day when God will judge men’s secrets through Christ Jesus, as proclaimed by my gospel.

17وَلكِنْ، إِنْ كُنْتَ تُدْعَى يَهُودِيًّا؛ وَتَتَّكِلُ عَلَى الشَّرِيعَةِ؛ وَتَفْتَخِرُ بِاللهِ؛Now you, if you call yourself a Jew; if you rely on the law and boast in God;

18وَتُمَيِّزُ مَا هُوَ الأَفْضَلُ بِسَبَبِ مَا تَعَلَّمْتَهُ مِنَ الشَّرِيعَةِ؛if you know His will and approve of what is superior because you are instructed by the law;

19وَلَكَ ثِقَةٌ فِي نَفْسِكَ بِأَنَّكَ قَائِدٌ لِلْعُمْيَانِ، وَنُورٌ لِلَّذِينَ فِي الظَّلامِ،if you are convinced that you are a guide for the blind, a light for those in darkness,

20وَمُؤَدِّبٌ لِلْجُهَّالِ، وَمُعَلِّمٌ لِلأَطْفَالِ؛ وَلَكَ فِي الشَّرِيعَةِ صُورَةُ الْمَعْرِفَةِ وَالْحَقِّ؛an instructor of the foolish, a teacher of infants, because you have in the law the embodiment of knowledge and truth—

21فَأَنْتَ إِذَنْ، يَا مَنْ تُعَلِّمُ غَيْرَكَ، أَمَا تُعَلِّمُ نَفْسَكَ؟ أَنْتَ يَا مَنْ تَعِظُ أَنْ لَا يُسْرَقَ، أَتَسْرِقُ؟you, then, who teach others, do you not teach yourself? You who preach against stealing, do you steal?

22أَنْتَ يَا مَنْ تَنْهَى عَنِ الزِّنَى، أَتَزْنِي؟ أَنْتَ يَا مَنْ تَسْتَنْكِرُ الأَصْنَامَ، أَتَسْرِقُ الْهَيَاكِلَYou who forbid adultery, do you commit adultery? You who abhor idols, do you rob temples?

23الَّذِي تَفْتَخِرُ بِالشَّرِيعَةِ، أَتُهِينُ اللهَ بِمُخَالَفَةِ الشَّرِيعَةِ؟You who boast in the law, do you dishonor God by breaking the law?

24فَإِنَّ «اسْمَ اللهِ يُجَدَّفُ عَلَيْهِ بَيْنَ الأُمَمِ بِسَبَبِكُمْ»، كَمَا هُوَ مَكْتُوبٌ.As it is written: “God’s name is blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you.”

25فَإِنَّ الْخِتَانَ يَنْفَعُ إِنْ كُنْتَ تَعْمَلُ بِالشَّرِيعَةِ. وَلكِنْ إِنْ كُنْتَ مُخَالِفاً لِلشَّرِيعَةِ، فَقَدْ صَارَ خِتَانُكَ كَأَنَّهُ عَدَمُ خِتَانٍ.Circumcision has value if you observe the law, but if you break the law, your circumcision has become uncircumcision.

26إِذَنْ، إِنْ عَمِلَ غَيْرُ الْمَخْتُونِ بِأَحْكَامِ الشَّرِيعَةِ، أَفَلا يُحْسَبُ عَدَمُ خِتَانِهِ كَأَنَّهُ خِتَانٌ؟If a man who is not circumcised keeps the requirements of the law, will not his uncircumcision be regarded as circumcision?

27وَغَيْرُ الْمَخْتُونِ بِالطَّبِيعَةِ، إِذْ يُتَمِّمُ الشَّرِيعَةَ، يَدِينُكَ أَنْتَ يَا مَنْ تُخَالِفُ الشَّرِيعَةَ وَلَدَيْكَ الْكِتَابُ وَالْخِتَانُ.The one who is physically uncircumcised yet keeps the law will condemn you who, even though you have the written code and circumcision, are a lawbreaker.

28فَلَيْسَ بِيَهُودِيٍّ مَنْ كَانَ يَهُودِيًّا فِي الظَّاهِرِ، وَلا بِخِتَانٍ مَا كَانَ ظَاهِراً فِي اللَّحْمِ.A man is not a Jew because he is one outwardly, nor is circumcision only outward and physical.

29وَإِنَّمَا 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!No, a man is a Jew because he is one inwardly, and circumcision is a matter of the heart, by the Spirit, not by the written code. Such a man’s praise does not come from men, but from God.
