Galatians 3

أَيُّهَا الْغَلاَطِيُّونَ الأَغْبِيَاءُ، مَنْ رَقَاكُمْ حَتَّى لاَ تُذْعِنُوا لِلْحَقِّ؟ أَنْتُمُ الَّذِينَ أَمَامَ عُيُونِكُمْ قَدْ رُسِمَ يَسُوعُ الْمَسِيحُ بَيْنَكُمْ مَصْلُوبًا!

O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you, that ye should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been evidently set forth, crucified among you?

أُرِيدُ أَنْ أَتَعَلَّمَ مِنْكُمْ هذَا فَقَطْ: أَبِأَعْمَالِ النَّامُوسِ أَخَذْتُمُ الرُّوحَ أَمْ بِخَبَرِ الإِيمَانِ؟

This only would I learn of you, Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?

أَهكَذَا أَنْتُمْ أَغْبِيَاءُ! أَبَعْدَمَا ابْتَدَأْتُمْ بِالرُّوحِ تُكَمَّلُونَ الآنَ بِالْجَسَدِ؟

Are ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh?

أَهذَا الْمِقْدَارَ احْتَمَلْتُمْ عَبَثًا؟ إِنْ كَانَ عَبَثًا!

Have ye suffered so many things in vain? if it be yet in vain.

فَالَّذِي يَمْنَحُكُمُ الرُّوحَ، وَيَعْمَلُ قُوَّاتٍ فِيكُمْ، أَبِأَعْمَالِ النَّامُوسِ أَمْ بِخَبَرِ الإِيمَانِ؟

He therefore that ministereth to you the Spirit, and worketh miracles among you, doeth he it by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?

كَمَا «آمَنَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ بِاللهِ فَحُسِبَ لَهُ بِرًّا».

Even as Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.

اعْلَمُوا إِذًا أَنَّ الَّذِينَ هُمْ مِنَ الإِيمَانِ أُولئِكَ هُمْ بَنُو إِبْرَاهِيمَ.

Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham.

وَالْكِتَابُ إِذْ سَبَقَ فَرَأَى أَنَّ اللهَ بِالإِيمَانِ يُبَرِّرُ الأُمَمَ، سَبَقَ فَبَشَّرَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ أَنْ «فِيكَ تَتَبَارَكُ جَمِيعُ الأُمَمِ».

And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith, preached before the gospel unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be blessed.

إِذًا الَّذِينَ هُمْ مِنَ الإِيمَانِ يَتَبَارَكُونَ مَعَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الْمُؤْمِنِ.

So then they which be of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham.

لأَنَّ جَمِيعَ الَّذِينَ هُمْ مِنْ أَعْمَالِ النَّامُوسِ هُمْ تَحْتَ لَعْنَةٍ، لأَنَّهُ مَكْتُوبٌ: «مَلْعُونٌ كُلُّ مَنْ لاَ يَثْبُتُ فِي جَمِيعِ مَا هُوَ مَكْتُوبٌ فِي كِتَابِ النَّامُوسِ لِيَعْمَلَ بِهِ».

For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them.

وَلكِنْ أَنْ لَيْسَ أَحَدٌ يَتَبَرَّرُ بِالنَّامُوسِ عِنْدَ اللهِ فَظَاهِرٌ، لأَنَّ «الْبَارَّ بِالإِيمَانِ يَحْيَا».

But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, The just shall live by faith.

وَلكِنَّ النَّامُوسَ لَيْسَ مِنَ الإِيمَانِ، بَلِ «الإِنْسَانُ الَّذِي يَفْعَلُهَا سَيَحْيَا بِهَا».

And the law is not of faith: but, The man that doeth them shall live in them.

اَلْمَسِيحُ افْتَدَانَا مِنْ لَعْنَةِ النَّامُوسِ، إِذْ صَارَ لَعْنَةً لأَجْلِنَا، لأَنَّهُ مَكْتُوبٌ: «مَلْعُونٌ كُلُّ مَنْ عُلِّقَ عَلَى خَشَبَةٍ».

Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:

لِتَصِيرَ بَرَكَةُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ لِلأُمَمِ فِي الْمَسِيحِ يَسُوعَ، لِنَنَالَ بِالإِيمَانِ مَوْعِدَ الرُّوحِ.

That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.

أَيُّهَا الإِخْوَةُ بِحَسَبِ الإِنْسَانِ أَقُولُ: لَيْسَ أَحَدٌ يُبْطِلُ عَهْدًا قَدْ تَمَكَّنَ وَلَوْ مِنْ إِنْسَانٍ، أَوْ يَزِيدُ عَلَيْهِ.

Brethren, I speak after the manner of men; Though it be but a man's covenant, yet if it be confirmed, no man disannulleth, or addeth thereto.

وَأَمَّا الْمَوَاعِيدُ فَقِيلَتْ فِي إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَفِي نَسْلِهِ. لاَ يَقُولُ:«وَفِي الأَنْسَالِ» كَأَنَّهُ عَنْ كَثِيرِينَ، بَلْ كَأَنَّهُ عَنْ وَاحِدٍ:«وَفِي نَسْلِكَ» الَّذِي هُوَ الْمَسِيحُ.

Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ.

وَإِنَّمَا أَقُولُ هذَا: إِنَّ النَّامُوسَ الَّذِي صَارَ بَعْدَ أَرْبَعِمِئَةٍ وَثَلاَثِينَ سَنَةً، لاَ يَنْسَخُ عَهْدًا قَدْ سَبَقَ فَتَمَكَّنَ مِنَ اللهِ نَحْوَ الْمَسِيحِ حَتَّى يُبَطِّلَ الْمَوْعِدَ.

And this I say, that the covenant, that was confirmed before of God in Christ, the law, which was four hundred and thirty years after, cannot disannul, that it should make the promise of none effect.

لأَنَّهُ إِنْ كَانَتِ الْوِرَاثَةُ مِنَ النَّامُوسِ، فَلَمْ تَكُنْ أَيْضًا مِنْ مَوْعِدٍ. وَلكِنَّ اللهَ وَهَبَهَا لإِبْرَاهِيمَ بِمَوْعِدٍ.

For if the inheritance be of the law, it is no more of promise: but God gave it to Abraham by promise.

فَلِمَاذَا النَّامُوسُ؟ قَدْ زِيدَ بِسَبَبِ التَّعَدِّيَاتِ، إِلَى أَنْ يَأْتِيَ النَّسْلُ الَّذِي قَدْ وُعِدَ لَهُ، مُرَتَّبًا بِمَلاَئِكَةٍ فِي يَدِ وَسِيطٍ.

Wherefore then serveth the law? It was added because of transgressions, till the seed should come to whom the promise was made; and it was ordained by angels in the hand of a mediator.

وَأَمَّا الْوَسِيطُ فَلاَ يَكُونُ لِوَاحِدٍ. وَلكِنَّ اللهَ وَاحِدٌ.

Now a mediator is not a mediator of one, but God is one.

فَهَلِ النَّامُوسُ ضِدُّ مَوَاعِيدِ اللهِ؟ حَاشَا! لأَنَّهُ لَوْ أُعْطِيَ نَامُوسٌ قَادِرٌ أَنْ يُحْيِيَ، لَكَانَ بِالْحَقِيقَةِ الْبِرُّ بِالنَّامُوسِ.

Is the law then against the promises of God? God forbid: for if there had been a law given which could have given life, verily righteousness should have been by the law.

لكِنَّ الْكِتَابَ أَغْلَقَ عَلَى الْكُلِّ تَحْتَ الْخَطِيَّةِ، لِيُعْطَى الْمَوْعِدُ مِنْ إِيمَانِ يَسُوعَ الْمَسِيحِ لِلَّذِينَ يُؤْمِنُونَ.

But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe.

وَلكِنْ قَبْلَمَا جَاءَ الإِيمَانُ كُنَّا مَحْرُوسِينَ تَحْتَ النَّامُوسِ، مُغْلَقًا عَلَيْنَا إِلَى الإِيمَانِ الْعَتِيدِ أَنْ يُعْلَنَ.

But before faith came, we were kept under the law, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed.

إِذًا قَدْ كَانَ النَّامُوسُ مُؤَدِّبَنَا إِلَى الْمَسِيحِ، لِكَيْ نَتَبَرَّرَ بِالإِيمَانِ.

Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith.

وَلكِنْ بَعْدَ مَا جَاءَ الإِيمَانُ، لَسْنَا بَعْدُ تَحْتَ مُؤَدِّبٍ.

But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster.

لأَنَّكُمْ جَمِيعًا أَبْنَاءُ اللهِ بِالإِيمَانِ بِالْمَسِيحِ يَسُوعَ.

For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.

لأَنَّ كُلَّكُمُ الَّذِينَ اعْتَمَدْتُمْ بِالْمَسِيحِ قَدْ لَبِسْتُمُ الْمَسِيحَ:

For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ.

لَيْسَ يَهُودِيٌّ وَلاَ يُونَانِيٌّ. لَيْسَ عَبْدٌ وَلاَ حُرٌّ. لَيْسَ ذَكَرٌ وَأُنْثَى، لأَنَّكُمْ جَمِيعًا وَاحِدٌ فِي الْمَسِيحِ يَسُوعَ.

There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.

فَإِنْ كُنْتُمْ لِلْمَسِيحِ، فَأَنْتُمْ إِذًا نَسْلُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، وَحَسَبَ الْمَوْعِدِ وَرَثَةٌ.

And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.
