Romans 10

NIV — New International Version Bible (NIV)

NAV — Ketab El Hayat (NAV)

Verse 1

Brothers and sisters, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for the Israelites is that they may be saved.

أَيُّهَا الإِخْوَةُ، إِنَّ رَغْبَةَ قَلْبِي وَتَضَرُّعِي إِلَى اللهِ لأَجْلِهِمْ، هُمَا أَنْ يَخْلُصُوا.

Verse 2

For I can testify about them that they are zealous for God, but their zeal is not based on knowledge.

فَإِنِّي أَشْهَدُ لَهُمْ أَنَّ عِنْدَهُمْ غَيْرَةً لِلهِ، وَلكِنَّهَا لَيْسَتْ عَلَى أَسَاسِ الْمَعْرِفَةِ.

Verse 3

Since they did not know the righteousness of God and sought to establish their own, they did not submit to God’s righteousness.

فَبِمَا أَنَّهُمْ جَهِلُوا بِرَّ اللهِ وَسَعَوْا إِلَى إِثْبَاتِ بِرِّهِمِ الذَّاتِيِّ، لَمْ يَخْضَعُوا لِلْبِرِّ الإِلهِيِّ.

Verse 4

Christ is the culmination of the law so that there may be righteousness for everyone who believes.

فَإِنَّ غَايَةَ الشَّرِيعَةِ هِيَ الْمَسِيحُ لِتَبْرِيرِ كُلِّ مَنْ يُؤْمِنُ.

Verse 5

Moses writes this about the righteousness that is by the law: “The person who does these things will live by them.”^[a]

فَقَدْ كَتَبَ مُوسَى عَنِ الْبِرِّ الآتِي مِنَ الشَّرِيعَةِ: «إِنَّ الإِنْسَانَ الَّذِي يَعْمَلُ بِهذِهِ الأُمُورِ، يَحْيَا بِها».

Verse 6

But the righteousness that is by faith says: “Do not say in your heart, ‘Who will ascend into heaven?’”^[b] (that is, to bring Christ down)

غَيْرَ أَنَّ الْبِرَّ الآتِيَ مِنَ الإِيمَانِ يَقُولُ هَذَا: «لا تَقُلْ فِي قَلْبِكَ: مَنْ يَصْعَدُ إِلَى السَّمَاوَاتِ؟» (أَيْ لِيُنْزِلَ الْمَسِيحَ)،

Verse 7

“or ‘Who will descend into the deep?’”^[c] (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead).

وَلا: «مَنْ يَنْزِلُ إِلَى الأَعْمَاقِ؟» أَيْ لِيُصْعِدَ الْمَسِيحَ مِنْ بَيْنِ الأَمْوَاتِ!

Verse 8

But what does it say? “The word is near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart,”^[d] that is, the message concerning faith that we proclaim:

فَمَاذَا يَقُولُ إِذاً؟ إِنَّهُ يَقُولُ: «إِنَّ الْكَلِمَةَ قَرِيبَةٌ مِنْكَ. إِنَّهَا فِي فَمِكَ وَفِي قَلْبِكَ!» وَمَا هذِهِ الْكَلِمَةُ إِلّا كَلِمَةُ الإِيمَانِ الَّتِي نُبَشِّرُ بِها:

Verse 9

If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.

أَنَّكَ إِنِ اعْتَرَفْتَ بِفَمِكَ بِيَسُوعَ رَبّاً، وَآمَنْتَ فِي قَلْبِكَ بِأَنَّ اللهَ أَقَامَهُ مِنَ الأَمْوَاتِ، نِلْتَ الْخَلاصَ.

Verse 10

For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved.

فَإِنَّ الإِيمَانَ فِي القَلْبِ يُؤَدِّي إِلَى الْبِرِّ، وَالاعْتِرَافَ بِالْفَمِ يُؤَيِّدُ الْخَلاصَ،

Verse 11

As Scripture says, “Anyone who believes in him will never be put to shame.”^[e]

لأَنَّ الْكِتَابَ يَقُولُ: «كُلُّ مَنْ هُوَ مُؤْمِنٌ بِهِ، لَا يَخِيبُ».

Verse 12

For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile—the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on him,

فَلا فَرْقَ بَيْنَ اليَهُودِيِّ وَالْيُونَانِيِّ، لأَنَّ لِلْجَمِيعِ رَبّاً وَاحِداً، غَنِيًّا تُجَاهَ كُلِّ مَنْ يَدْعُوهُ.

Verse 13

for, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”^[f]

«فَإِنَّ كُلَّ مَنْ يَدْعُو بِاسْمِ الرَّبِّ يَخْلُصُ».

Verse 14

How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them?

وَلكِنْ، كَيْفَ يَدْعُونَ مَنْ لَمْ يُؤْمِنُوا بِهِ؟ وَكَيْفَ يُؤْمِنُونَ بِمَنْ لَمْ يَسْمَعُوا بِهِ؟ وَكَيْفَ يَسْمَعُونَ بِلا مُبَشِّرٍ؟

Verse 15

And how can anyone preach unless they are sent? As it is written: “How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!”^[g]

وَكَيْفَ يُبَشِّرُ أَحَدٌ إِلّا إِذَا كَانَ قَدْ أُرْسِلَ؟ كَمَا قَدْ كُتِبَ: «مَا أَجْمَلَ أَقْدَامَ الْمُبَشِّرِينَ بِالْخَيْرَاتِ!»

Verse 16

But not all the Israelites accepted the good news. For Isaiah says, “Lord, who has believed our message?”^[h]

وَلكِنْ، لَيْسَ كُلُّهُمْ أَطَاعُوا الإِنْجِيلَ. فَإِنَّ إِشَعْيَاءَ يَقُولُ: «يَا رَبُّ! مَنْ صَدَّقَ مَا أَسْمَعْنَاهُ إِيَّاهُ؟»

Verse 17

Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word about Christ.

إِذاً، الإِيمَانُ نَتِيجَةُ السَّمَاعِ، وَالسَّمَاعُ هُوَ مِنَ التَّبْشِيرِ بِكَلِمَةِ الْمَسِيحِ!

Verse 18

But I ask: Did they not hear? Of course they did:

“Their voice has gone out into all the earth,
their words to the ends of the world.”^[i]

وَلكِنِّي أَقُولُ: أَمَا سَمِعُوا؟ بَلَى، فَإِنَّ الْمُبَشِّرِينَ «انْطَلَقَ صَوْتُهُمْ إِلَى الأَرْضِ كُلِّهَا، وَكَلامُهُمْ إِلَى أَقَاصِي الْعَالَمِ».

Verse 19

Again I ask: Did Israel not understand? First, Moses says,

“I will make you envious by those who are not a nation;
I will make you angry by a nation that has no understanding.”^[j]

وَأَعُودُ فَأَقُولُ: أَمَا فَهِمَ إِسْرَائِيلُ؟ إِنَّ مُوسَى، أَوَّلاً، يَقُولُ: «سَأُثِيرُ غَيْرَتَكُمْ بِمَنْ لَيْسُوا أُمَّةً، وَبِأُمَّةٍ بِلا فَهْمٍ سَوْفَ أُغْضِبُكُمْ!»

Verse 20

And Isaiah boldly says,

“I was found by those who did not seek me;
I revealed myself to those who did not ask for me.”^[k]

وَأَمَّا إِشَعْيَاءُ فَيَجْرُؤُ عَلَى الْقَوْلِ: «وَجَدَنِي الَّذِينَ لَمْ يَطْلُبُونِي وَصِرْتُ مُعْلَناً لِلَّذِينَ لَمْ يَبْحَثُوا عَنِّي».

Verse 21

But concerning Israel he says,

“All day long I have held out my hands
to a disobedient and obstinate people.”^[l]

وَلَكِنَّهُ عَنْ إِسْرَائِيلَ يَقُولُ: «طُولَ النَّهَارِ مَدَدْتُ يَدَيَّ إِلَى شَعْبٍ عَاصٍ مُعَارِضٍ!»
