| 1 فَاثْبُتُوا إِذًا فِي الْحُرِّيَّةِ الَّتِي قَدْ حَرَّرَنَا الْمَسِيحُ بِهَا، وَلاَ تَرْتَبِكُوا أَيْضًا بِنِيرِ عُبُودِيَّةٍ. | 1 Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage. |
|
| 2 هَا أَنَا بُولُسُ أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: إِنَّهُ إِنِ اخْتَتَنْتُمْ لاَ يَنْفَعُكُمُ الْمَسِيحُ شَيْئًا! | 2 Behold, I Paul say unto you, that if ye be circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing. |
|
| 3 لكِنْ أَشْهَدُ أَيْضًا لِكُلِّ إِنْسَانٍ مُخْتَتِنٍ أَنَّهُ مُلْتَزِمٌ أَنْ يَعْمَلَ بِكُلِّ النَّامُوسِ. | 3 For I testify again to every man that is circumcised, that he is a debtor to do the whole law. |
|
| 4 قَدْ تَبَطَّلْتُمْ عَنِ الْمَسِيحِ أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ تَتَبَرَّرُونَ بِالنَّامُوسِ. سَقَطْتُمْ مِنَ النِّعْمَةِ. | 4 Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace. |
|
| 5 فَإِنَّنَا بِالرُّوحِ مِنَ الإِيمَانِ نَتَوَقَّعُ رَجَاءَ بِرّ. | 5 For we through the Spirit wait for the hope of righteousness by faith. |
|
| 6 لأَنَّهُ فِي الْمَسِيحِ يَسُوعَ لاَ الْخِتَانُ يَنْفَعُ شَيْئًا وَلاَ الْغُرْلَةُ، بَلِ الإِيمَانُ الْعَامِلُ بِالْمَحَبَّةِ. | 6 For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision; but faith which worketh by love. |
|
| 7 كُنْتُمْ تَسْعَوْنَ حَسَنًا. فَمَنْ صَدَّكُمْ حَتَّى لاَ تُطَاوِعُوا لِلْحَقِّ؟ | 7 Ye did run well; who did hinder you that ye should not obey the truth? |
|
| 8 هذِهِ الْمُطَاوَعَةُ لَيْسَتْ مِنَ الَّذِي دَعَاكُمْ. | 8 This persuasion cometh not of him that calleth you. |
|
| 9 «خَمِيرَةٌ صَغِيرَةٌ تُخَمِّرُ الْعَجِينَ كُلَّهُ». | 9 A little leaven leaveneth the whole lump. |
|
| 10 وَلكِنَّنِي أَثِقُ بِكُمْ فِي الرَّبِّ أَنَّكُمْ لاَ تَفْتَكِرُونَ شَيْئًا آخَرَ. وَلكِنَّ الَّذِي يُزْعِجُكُمْ سَيَحْمِلُ الدَّيْنُونَةَ أَيَّ مَنْ كَانَ. | 10 I have confidence in you through the Lord, that ye will be none otherwise minded: but he that troubleth you shall bear his judgment, whosoever he be. |
|
| 11 وَأَمَّا أَنَا أَيُّهَا الإِخْوَةُ فَإِنْ كُنْتُ بَعْدُ أَكْرِزُ بِالْخِتَانِ، فَلِمَاذَا أُضْطَهَدُ بَعْدُ؟ إِذًا عَثْرَةُ الصَّلِيبِ قَدْ بَطَلَتْ. | 11 And I, brethren, if I yet preach circumcision, why do I yet suffer persecution? then is the offence of the cross ceased. |
|
12 يَالَيْتَ الَّذِينَ يُقْلِقُونَكُمْ يَقْطَعُونَ أَيْضًا!  | 12 I would they were even cut off which trouble you. |
|
| 13 فَإِنَّكُمْ إِنَّمَا دُعِيتُمْ لِلْحُرِّيَّةِ أَيُّهَا الإِخْوَةُ. غَيْرَ أَنَّهُ لاَ تُصَيِّرُوا الْحُرِّيَّةَ فُرْصَةً لِلْجَسَدِ، بَلْ بِالْمَحَبَّةِ اخْدِمُوا بَعْضُكُمْ بَعْضًا. | 13 For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another. |
|
| 14 لأَنَّ كُلَّ النَّامُوسِ فِي كَلِمَةٍ وَاحِدَةٍ يُكْمَلُ:«تُحِبُّ قَرِيبَكَ كَنَفْسِكَ». | 14 For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. |
|
| 15 فَإِذَا كُنْتُمْ تَنْهَشُونَ وَتَأْكُلُونَ بَعْضُكُمْ بَعْضًا، فَانْظُرُوا لِئَلاَّ تُفْنُوا بَعْضُكُمْ بَعْضًا. | 15 But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not consumed one of another. |
|
| 16 وَإِنَّمَا أَقُولُ: اسْلُكُوا بِالرُّوحِ فَلاَ تُكَمِّلُوا شَهْوَةَ الْجَسَدِ. | 16 This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh. |
|
| 17 لأَنَّ الْجَسَدَ يَشْتَهِي ضِدَّ الرُّوحِ وَالرُّوحُ ضِدَّ الْجَسَدِ، وَهذَانِ يُقَاوِمُ أَحَدُهُمَا الآخَرَ، حَتَّى تَفْعَلُونَ مَا لاَ تُرِيدُونَ. | 17 For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would. |
|
| 18 وَلكِنْ إِذَا انْقَدْتُمْ بِالرُّوحِ فَلَسْتُمْ تَحْتَ النَّامُوسِ. | 18 But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law. |
|
| 19 وَأَعْمَالُ الْجَسَدِ ظَاهِرَةٌ، الَّتِي هِيَ: زِنىً عَهَارَةٌ نَجَاسَةٌ دَعَارَةٌ | 19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, |
|
| 20 عِبَادَةُ الأَوْثَانِ سِحْرٌ عَدَاوَةٌ خِصَامٌ غَيْرَةٌ سَخَطٌ تَحَزُّبٌ شِقَاقٌ بِدْعَةٌ | 20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, |
|
| 21 حَسَدٌ قَتْلٌ سُكْرٌ بَطَرٌ، وَأَمْثَالُ هذِهِ الَّتِي أَسْبِقُ فَأَقُولُ لَكُمْ عَنْهَا كَمَا سَبَقْتُ فَقُلْتُ أَيْضًا: إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يَفْعَلُونَ مِثْلَ هذِهِ لاَ يَرِثُونَ مَلَكُوتَ اللهِ. | 21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. |
|
| 22 وَأَمَّا ثَمَرُ الرُّوحِ فَهُوَ: مَحَبَّةٌ فَرَحٌ سَلاَمٌ، طُولُ أَنَاةٍ لُطْفٌ صَلاَحٌ، إِيمَانٌ | 22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, |
|
| 23 وَدَاعَةٌ تَعَفُّفٌ. ضِدَّ أَمْثَالِ هذِهِ لَيْسَ نَامُوسٌ. | 23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. |
|
| 24 وَلكِنَّ الَّذِينَ هُمْ لِلْمَسِيحِ قَدْ صَلَبُوا الْجَسَدَ مَعَ الأَهْوَاءِ وَالشَّهَوَاتِ. | 24 And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts. |
|
| 25 إِنْ كُنَّا نَعِيشُ بِالرُّوحِ، فَلْنَسْلُكْ أَيْضًا بِحَسَبِ الرُّوحِ. | 25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. |
|
| 26 لاَ نَكُنْ مُعْجِبِينَ نُغَاضِبُ بَعْضُنَا بَعْضًا، وَنَحْسِدُ بَعْضُنَا بَعْضًا. | 26 Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another. |
