2 GLT كَثِيرٌ عَلَى كُلِّ وَجْهٍ! أَمَّا أَوَّلًا فَلِأَنَّهُمُ ٱسْتُؤْمِنُوا عَلَى أَقْوَالِ ٱللهِ. BSB BSB: Much in every way. First of all, they have been entrusted with the very words of God.
3 GLT فَمَاذَا إِنْ كَانَ قَوْمٌ لَمْ يَكُونُوا أُمَنَاءَ؟ أَفَلَعَلَّ عَدَمَ أَمَانَتِهِمْ يُبْطِلُ أَمَانَةَ ٱللهِ؟ BSB BSB: What if some did not have faith? Will their lack of faith nullify God’s faithfulness?
4 GLT حَاشَا! بَلْ لِيَكُنِ ٱللهُ صَادِقًا وَكُلُّ إِنْسَانٍ كَاذِبًا. كَمَا هُوَ مَكْتُوبٌ: «لِكَيْ تَتَبَرَّرَ فِي كَلَامِكَ، وَتَغْلِبَ مَتَى حُوكِمْتَ». BSB BSB: Certainly not! Let God be true and every man a liar. As it is written: “So that You may be proved right when You speak and victorious when You judge.”
5 GLT وَلَكِنْ إِنْ كَانَ إِثْمُنَا يُبَيِّنُ بِرَّ ٱللهِ، فَمَاذَا نَقُولُ؟ أَلَعَلَّ ٱللهَ ٱلَّذِي يَجْلِبُ ٱلْغَضَبَ ظَالِمٌ؟ أَتَكَلَّمُ بِحَسَبِ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ. BSB BSB: But if our unrighteousness highlights the righteousness of God, what shall we say? That God is unjust to inflict His wrath on us? I am speaking in human terms.
6 GLT حَاشَا! فَكَيْفَ يَدِينُ ٱللهُ ٱلْعَالَمَ إِذْ ذَاكَ؟ BSB BSB: Certainly not! In that case, how could God judge the world?
7 GLT فَإِنَّهُ إِنْ كَانَ صِدْقُ ٱللهِ قَدِ ٱزْدَادَ بِكَذِبِي لِمَجْدِهِ، فَلِمَاذَا أُدَانُ أَنَا بَعْدُ كَخَاطِئٍ؟ BSB BSB: However, if my falsehood accentuates God’s truthfulness, to the increase of His glory, why am I still condemned as a sinner?
8 GLT أَمَا كَمَا يُفْتَرَى عَلَيْنَا، وَكَمَا يَزْعُمُ قَوْمٌ أَنَّنَا نَقُولُ: «لِنَفْعَلِ ٱلسَّيِّآتِ لِكَيْ تَأْتِيَ ٱلْخَيْرَاتُ»؟ ٱلَّذِينَ دَيْنُونَتُهُمْ عَادِلَةٌ. BSB BSB: Why not say, as some slanderously claim that we say, “Let us do evil that good may result”? Their condemnation is deserved!
9 GLT فَمَاذَا إِذًا؟ أَنَحْنُ أَفْضَلُ؟ كَلَّا ٱلْبَتَّةَ! لِأَنَّنَا قَدْ شَكَوْنَا أَنَّ ٱلْيَهُودَ وَٱلْيُونَانِيِّينَ أَجْمَعِينَ تَحْتَ ٱلْخَطِيَّةِ، BSB BSB: What then? Are we any better? Not at all. For we have already made the charge that Jews and Greeks alike are all under sin.
10 GLT كَمَا هُوَ مَكْتُوبٌ: «أَنَّهُ لَيْسَ بَارٌّ وَلَا وَاحِدٌ. BSB BSB: As it is written: “There is no one righteous, not even one.
11 GLT لَيْسَ مَنْ يَفْهَمُ. لَيْسَ مَنْ يَطْلُبُ ٱللهَ. BSB BSB: There is no one who understands, no one who seeks God.
12 GLT ٱلْجَمِيعُ زَاغُوا وَفَسَدُوا مَعًا. لَيْسَ مَنْ يَعْمَلُ صَلَاحًا لَيْسَ وَلَا وَاحِدٌ. BSB BSB: All have turned away, they have together become worthless; there is no one who does good, not even one.”
13 GLT حَنْجَرَتُهُمْ قَبْرٌ مَفْتُوحٌ. بِأَلْسِنَتِهِمْ قَدْ مَكَرُوا. سِمُّ ٱلْأَصْلَالِ تَحْتَ شِفَاهِهِمْ. BSB BSB: “Their throats are open graves; their tongues practice deceit.” “The venom of vipers is on their lips.”
14 GLT وَفَمُهُمْ مَمْلُوءٌ لَعْنَةً وَمَرَارَةً. BSB BSB: “Their mouths are full of cursing and bitterness.”
15 GLT أَرْجُلُهُمْ سَرِيعَةٌ إِلَى سَفْكِ ٱلدَّمِ. BSB BSB: “Their feet are swift to shed blood;
16 GLT فِي طُرُقِهِمِ ٱغْتِصَابٌ وَسُحْقٌ. BSB BSB: ruin and misery lie in their wake,
17 GLT وَطَرِيقُ ٱلسَّلَامِ لَمْ يَعْرِفُوهُ. BSB BSB: and the way of peace they have not known.”
18 GLT لَيْسَ خَوْفُ ٱللهِ قُدَّامَ عُيُونِهِمْ». BSB BSB: “There is no fear of God before their eyes.”
19 GLT وَنَحْنُ نَعْلَمُ أَنَّ كُلَّ مَا يَقُولُهُ ٱلنَّامُوسُ فَهُوَ يُكَلِّمُ بِهِ ٱلَّذِينَ فِي ٱلنَّامُوسِ، لِكَيْ يَسْتَدَّ كُلُّ فَمٍ، وَيَصِيرَ كُلُّ ٱلْعَالَمِ تَحْتَ قِصَاصٍ مِنَ ٱللهِ. BSB BSB: Now we know that whatever the law says, it says to those who are under the law, so that every mouth may be silenced and the whole world held accountable to God.
20 GLT لِأَنَّهُ بِأَعْمَالِ ٱلنَّامُوسِ كُلُّ ذِي جَسَدٍ لَا يَتَبَرَّرُ أَمَامَهُ. لِأَنَّ بِٱلنَّامُوسِ مَعْرِفَةَ ٱلْخَطِيَّةِ. BSB BSB: Therefore no one will be justified in His sight by works of the law. For the law merely brings awareness of sin.
22 GLT بِرُّ ٱللهِ بِٱلْإِيمَانِ بِيَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ، إِلَى كُلِّ وَعَلَى كُلِّ ٱلَّذِينَ يُؤْمِنُونَ. لِأَنَّهُ لَا فَرْقَ. BSB BSB: And this righteousness from God comes through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no distinction,
24 GLT مُتَبَرِّرِينَ مَجَّانًا بِنِعْمَتِهِ بِٱلْفِدَاءِ ٱلَّذِي بِيَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ، BSB BSB: and are justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus.
26 GLT لِإِظْهَارِ بِرِّهِ فِي ٱلزَّمَانِ ٱلْحَاضِرِ، لِيَكُونَ بَارًّا وَيُبَرِّرَ مَنْ هُوَ مِنَ ٱلْإِيمَانِ بِيَسُوعَ. BSB BSB: He did this to demonstrate His righteousness at the present time, so as to be just and to justify the one who has faith in Jesus.
29 GLT أَمِ ٱللهُ لِلْيَهُودِ فَقَطْ؟ أَلَيْسَ لِلْأُمَمِ أَيْضًا؟ بَلَى، لِلْأُمَمِ أَيْضًا. BSB BSB: Is God the God of Jews only? Is He not the God of Gentiles too? Yes, of Gentiles too,
30 GLT لِأَنَّ ٱللهَ وَاحِدٌ، هُوَ ٱلَّذِي سَيُبَرِّرُ ٱلْخِتَانَ بِٱلْإِيمَانِ وَٱلْغُرْلَةَ بِٱلْإِيمَانِ. BSB BSB: since there is only one God, who will justify the circumcised by faith and the uncircumcised through that same faith.
