Romans 1

بُولُسُ، عَبْدٌ لِيَسُوعَ الْمَسِيحِ، الْمَدْعُوُّ رَسُولاً، الْمُفْرَزُ لإِنْجِيلِ اللهِ،

Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated unto the gospel of God,

الَّذِي سَبَقَ فَوَعَدَ بِهِ بِأَنْبِيَائِهِ فِي الْكُتُبِ الْمُقَدَّسَةِ،

(Which he had promised afore by his prophets in the holy scriptures,)

عَنِ ابْنِهِ. الَّذِي صَارَ مِنْ نَسْلِ دَاوُدَ مِنْ جِهَةِ الْجَسَدِ،

Concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh;

وَتَعَيَّنَ ابْنَ اللهِ بِقُوَّةٍ مِنْ جِهَةِ رُوحِ الْقَدَاسَةِ، بِالْقِيَامَةِ مِنَ الأَمْوَاتِ: يَسُوعَ الْمَسِيحِ رَبِّنَا.

And declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead:

الَّذِي بِهِ، لأَجْلِ اسْمِهِ، قَبِلْنَا نِعْمَةً وَرِسَالَةً، لإِطَاعَةِ الإِيمَانِ فِي جَمِيعِ الأُمَمِ،

By whom we have received grace and apostleship, for obedience to the faith among all nations, for his name:

الَّذِينَ بَيْنَهُمْ أَنْتُمْ أَيْضًا مَدْعُوُّو يَسُوعَ الْمَسِيحِ.

Among whom are ye also the called of Jesus Christ:

إِلَى جَمِيعِ الْمَوْجُودِينَ فِي رُومِيَةَ، أَحِبَّاءَ اللهِ، مَدْعُوِّينَ قِدِّيسِينَ: نِعْمَةٌ لَكُمْ وَسَلاَمٌ مِنَ اللهِ أَبِينَا وَالرَّبِّ يَسُوعَ الْمَسِيحِ.

To all that be in Rome, beloved of God, called to be saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.

أَوَّلاً، أَشْكُرُ إِلهِي بِيَسُوعَ الْمَسِيحِ مِنْ جِهَةِ جَمِيعِكُمْ، أَنَّ إِيمَانَكُمْ يُنَادَى بِهِ فِي كُلِّ الْعَالَمِ.

First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that your faith is spoken of throughout the whole world.

فَإِنَّ اللهَ الَّذِي أَعْبُدُهُ بِرُوحِي، فِي إِنْجِيلِ ابْنِهِ، شَاهِدٌ لِي كَيْفَ بِلاَ انْقِطَاعٍ أَذْكُرُكُمْ،

For God is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in the gospel of his Son, that without ceasing I make mention of you always in my prayers;

مُتَضَرِّعًا دَائِمًا فِي صَلَوَاتِي عَسَى الآنَ أَنْ يَتَيَسَّرَ لِي مَرَّةً بِمَشِيئَةِ اللهِ أَنْ آتِيَ إِلَيْكُمْ.

Making request, if by any means now at length I might have a prosperous journey by the will of God to come unto you.

لأَنِّي مُشْتَاقٌ أَنْ أَرَاكُمْ، لِكَيْ أَمْنَحَكُمْ هِبَةً رُوحِيَّةً لِثَبَاتِكُمْ،

For I long to see you, that I may impart unto you some spiritual gift, to the end ye may be established;

أَيْ لِنَتَعَزَّى بَيْنَكُمْ بِالإِيمَانِ الَّذِي فِينَا جَمِيعًا، إِيمَانِكُمْ وَإِيمَانِي.

That is, that I may be comforted together with you by the mutual faith both of you and me.

ثُمَّ لَسْتُ أُرِيدُ أَنْ تَجْهَلُوا أَيُّهَا الإِخْوَةُ أَنَّنِي مِرَارًا كَثِيرَةً قَصَدْتُ أَنْ آتِيَ إِلَيْكُمْ، وَمُنِعْتُ حَتَّى الآنَ، لِيَكُونَ لِي ثَمَرٌ فِيكُمْ أَيْضًا كَمَا فِي سَائِرِ الأُمَمِ.

Now I would not have you ignorant, brethren, that oftentimes I purposed to come unto you, (but was let hitherto,) that I might have some fruit among you also, even as among other Gentiles.

إِنِّي مَدْيُونٌ لِلْيُونَانِيِّينَ وَالْبَرَابِرَةِ، لِلْحُكَمَاءِ وَالْجُهَلاَءِ.

I am debtor both to the Greeks, and to the Barbarians; both to the wise, and to the unwise.

فَهكَذَا مَا هُوَ لِي مُسْتَعَدٌّ لِتَبْشِيرِكُمْ أَنْتُمُ الَّذِينَ فِي رُومِيَةَ أَيْضًا،

So, as much as in me is, I am ready to preach the gospel to you that are at Rome also.

لأَنِّي لَسْتُ أَسْتَحِي بِإِنْجِيلِ الْمَسِيحِ، لأَنَّهُ قُوَّةُ اللهِ لِلْخَلاَصِ لِكُلِّ مَنْ يُؤْمِنُ: لِلْيَهُودِيِّ أَوَّلاً ثُمَّ لِلْيُونَانِيِّ.

For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.

لأَنْ فِيهِ مُعْلَنٌ بِرُّ اللهِ بِإِيمَانٍ، لإِيمَانٍ، كَمَا هُوَ مَكْتُوبٌ:«أَمَّا الْبَارُّ فَبِالإِيمَانِ يَحْيَا».

For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.

لأَنَّ غَضَبَ اللهِ مُعْلَنٌ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ عَلَى جَمِيعِ فُجُورِ النَّاسِ وَإِثْمِهِمِ، الَّذِينَ يَحْجِزُونَ الْحَقَّ بِالإِثْمِ.

For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;

إِذْ مَعْرِفَةُ اللهِ ظَاهِرَةٌ فِيهِمْ، لأَنَّ اللهَ أَظْهَرَهَا لَهُمْ،

Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.

لأَنَّ أُمُورَهُ غَيْرَ الْمَنْظُورَةِ تُرىَ مُنْذُ خَلْقِ الْعَالَمِ مُدْرَكَةً بِالْمَصْنُوعَاتِ، قُدْرَتَهُ السَّرْمَدِيَّةَ وَلاَهُوتَهُ، حَتَّى إِنَّهُمْ بِلاَ عُذْرٍ.

For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:

لأَنَّهُمْ لَمَّا عَرَفُوا اللهَ لَمْ يُمَجِّدُوهُ أَوْ يَشْكُرُوهُ كَإِلهٍ، بَلْ حَمِقُوا فِي أَفْكَارِهِمْ، وَأَظْلَمَ قَلْبُهُمُ الْغَبِيُّ.

Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.

وَبَيْنَمَا هُمْ يَزْعُمُونَ أَنَّهُمْ حُكَمَاءُ صَارُوا جُهَلاَءَ،

Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,

وَأَبْدَلُوا مَجْدَ اللهِ الَّذِي لاَ يَفْنَى بِشِبْهِ صُورَةِ الإِنْسَانِ الَّذِي يَفْنَى، وَالطُّيُورِ، وَالدَّوَابِّ، وَالزَّحَّافَاتِ.

And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.

لِذلِكَ أَسْلَمَهُمُ اللهُ أَيْضًا فِي شَهَوَاتِ قُلُوبِهِمْ إِلَى النَّجَاسَةِ، لإِهَانَةِ أَجْسَادِهِمْ بَيْنَ ذَوَاتِهِمِ.

Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:

الَّذِينَ اسْتَبْدَلُوا حَقَّ اللهِ بِالْكَذِبِ، وَاتَّقَوْا وَعَبَدُوا الْمَخْلُوقَ دُونَ الْخَالِقِ، الَّذِي هُوَ مُبَارَكٌ إِلَى الأَبَدِ. آمِينَ.

Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.

لِذلِكَ أَسْلَمَهُمُ اللهُ إِلَى أَهْوَاءِ الْهَوَانِ، لأَنَّ إِنَاثَهُمُ اسْتَبْدَلْنَ الاسْتِعْمَالَ الطَّبِيعِيَّ بِالَّذِي عَلَى خِلاَفِ الطَّبِيعَةِ،

For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:

وَكَذلِكَ الذُّكُورُ أَيْضًا تَارِكِينَ اسْتِعْمَالَ الأُنْثَى الطَّبِيعِيَّ، اشْتَعَلُوا بِشَهْوَتِهِمْ بَعْضِهِمْ لِبَعْضٍ، فَاعِلِينَ الْفَحْشَاءَ ذُكُورًا بِذُكُورٍ، وَنَائِلِينَ فِي أَنْفُسِهِمْ جَزَاءَ ضَلاَلِهِمِ الْمُحِقَّ.

And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.

وَكَمَا لَمْ يَسْتَحْسِنُوا أَنْ يُبْقُوا اللهَ فِي مَعْرِفَتِهِمْ، أَسْلَمَهُمُ اللهُ إِلَى ذِهْنٍ مَرْفُوضٍ لِيَفْعَلُوا مَا لاَ يَلِيقُ.

And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;

مَمْلُوئِينَ مِنْ كُلِّ إِثْمٍ وَزِنًا وَشَرّ وَطَمَعٍ وَخُبْثٍ، مَشْحُونِينَ حَسَدًا وَقَتْلاً وَخِصَامًا وَمَكْرًا وَسُوءًا،

Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,

نَمَّامِينَ مُفْتَرِينَ، مُبْغِضِينَ ِللهِ، ثَالِبِينَ مُتَعَظِّمِينَ مُدَّعِينَ، مُبْتَدِعِينَ شُرُورًا، غَيْرَ طَائِعِينَ لِلْوَالِدَيْنِ،

Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,

بِلاَ فَهْمٍ وَلاَ عَهْدٍ وَلاَ حُنُوٍّ وَلاَ رِضىً وَلاَ رَحْمَةٍ.

Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:

الَّذِينَ إِذْ عَرَفُوا حُكْمَ اللهِ أَنَّ الَّذِينَ يَعْمَلُونَ مِثْلَ هذِهِ يَسْتَوْجِبُونَ الْمَوْتَ، لاَ يَفْعَلُونَهَا فَقَطْ، بَلْ أَيْضًا يُسَرُّونَ بِالَّذِينَ يَعْمَلُونَ.

Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.
