التحرّر من الناموس | |
| 1 أَمْ تَجْهَلُونَ أَيُّهَا الإِخْوَةُ لأَنِّي أُكَلِّمُ الْعَارِفِينَ بِالنَّامُوسِ أَنَّ النَّامُوسَ يَسُودُ عَلَى الإِنْسَانِ مَا دَامَ حَيًّا؟ | 1 Know ye not, brethren, (for I speak to them that know the law,) how that the law hath dominion over a man as long as he liveth? |
|
| 2 فَإِنَّ الْمَرْأَةَ الَّتِي تَحْتَ رَجُل هِيَ مُرْتَبِطَةٌ بِالنَّامُوسِ بِالرَّجُلِ الْحَيِّ. وَلكِنْ إِنْ مَاتَ الرَّجُلُ فَقَدْ تَحَرَّرَتْ مِنْ نَامُوسِ الرَّجُلِ. | 2 For the woman which hath an husband is bound by the law to her husband so long as he liveth; but if the husband be dead, she is loosed from the law of her husband. |
|
| 3 فَإِذًا مَا دَامَ الرَّجُلُ حَيًّا تُدْعَى زَانِيَةً إِنْ صَارَتْ لِرَجُل آخَرَ. وَلكِنْ إِنْ مَاتَ الرَّجُلُ فَهِيَ حُرَّةٌ مِنَ النَّامُوسِ، حَتَّى إِنَّهَا لَيْسَتْ زَانِيَةً إِنْ صَارَتْ لِرَجُل آخَرَ. | 3 So then if, while her husband liveth, she be married to another man, she shall be called an adulteress: but if her husband be dead, she is free from that law; so that she is no adulteress, though she be married to another man. |
|
| 4 إِذًا يَا إِخْوَتِي أَنْتُمْ أَيْضًا قَدْ مُتُّمْ لِلنَّامُوسِ بِجَسَدِ الْمَسِيحِ، لِكَيْ تَصِيرُوا لآخَرَ، لِلَّذِي قَدْ أُقِيمَ مِنَ الأَمْوَاتِ لِنُثْمِرَ ِللهِ. | 4 Wherefore, my brethren, ye also are become dead to the law by the body of Christ; that ye should be married to another, even to him who is raised from the dead, that we should bring forth fruit unto God. |
|
| 5 لأَنَّهُ لَمَّا كُنَّا فِي الْجَسَدِ كَانَتْ أَهْوَاءُ الْخَطَايَا الَّتِي بِالنَّامُوسِ تَعْمَلُ فِي أَعْضَائِنَا، لِكَيْ نُثْمِرَ لِلْمَوْتِ. | 5 For when we were in the flesh, the motions of sins, which were by the law, did work in our members to bring forth fruit unto death. |
|
6 وَأَمَّا الآنَ فَقَدْ تَحَرَّرْنَا مِنَ النَّامُوسِ، إِذْ مَاتَ الَّذِي كُنَّا مُمْسَكِينَ فِيهِ، حَتَّى نَعْبُدَ بِجِدَّةِ الرُّوحِ لاَ بِعِتْقِ الْحَرْفِ.  | 6 But now we are delivered from the law, that being dead wherein we were held; that we should serve in newness of spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter. |
|
بالناموس عرفت الخطية | |
| 7 فَمَاذَا نَقُولُ؟ هَلِ النَّامُوسُ خَطِيَّةٌ؟ حَاشَا! بَلْ لَمْ أَعْرِفِ الْخَطِيَّةَ إِلاَّ بِالنَّامُوسِ. فَإِنَّنِي لَمْ أَعْرِفِ الشَّهْوَةَ لَوْ لَمْ يَقُلِ النَّامُوسُ: «لاَ تَشْتَهِ». | 7 What shall we say then? Is the law sin? God forbid. Nay, I had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not known lust, except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet. |
|
| 8 وَلكِنَّ الْخَطِيَّةَ وَهِيَ مُتَّخِذَةٌ فُرْصَةً بِالْوَصِيَّةِ أَنْشَأَتْ فِيَّ كُلَّ شَهْوَةٍ. لأَنْ بِدُونِ النَّامُوسِ الْخَطِيَّةُ مَيِّتَةٌ. | 8 But sin, taking occasion by the commandment, wrought in me all manner of concupiscence. For without the law sin was dead. |
|
| 9 أَمَّا أَنَا فَكُنْتُ بِدُونِ النَّامُوسِ عَائِشًا قَبْلاً. وَلكِنْ لَمَّا جَاءَتِ الْوَصِيَّةُ عَاشَتِ الْخَطِيَّةُ، فَمُتُّ أَنَا، | 9 For I was alive without the law once: but when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died. |
|
| 10 فَوُجِدَتِ الْوَصِيَّةُ الَّتِي لِلْحَيَاةِ هِيَ نَفْسُهَا لِي لِلْمَوْتِ. | 10 And the commandment, which was ordained to life, I found to be unto death. |
|
| 11 لأَنَّ الْخَطِيَّةَ، وَهِيَ مُتَّخِذَةٌ فُرْصَةً بِالْوَصِيَّةِ، خَدَعَتْنِي بِهَا وَقَتَلَتْنِي. | 11 For sin, taking occasion by the commandment, deceived me, and by it slew me. |
|
| 12 إِذًا النَّامُوسُ مُقَدَّسٌ، وَالْوَصِيَّةُ مُقَدَّسَةٌ وَعَادِلَةٌ وَصَالِحَةٌ. | 12 Wherefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good. |
|
| 13 فَهَلْ صَارَ لِي الصَّالِحُ مَوْتًا؟ حَاشَا! بَلِ الْخَطِيَّةُ. لِكَيْ تَظْهَرَ خَطِيَّةً مُنْشِئَةً لِي بِالصَّالِحِ مَوْتًا، لِكَيْ تَصِيرَ الْخَطِيَّةُ خَاطِئَةً جِدًّا بِالْوَصِيَّةِ. | 13 Was then that which is good made death unto me? God forbid. But sin, that it might appear sin, working death in me by that which is good; that sin by the commandment might become exceeding sinful. |
|
ناموس الله وناموس الخطية | |
| 14 فَإِنَّنَا نَعْلَمُ أَنَّ النَّامُوسَ رُوحِيٌّ، وَأَمَّا أَنَا فَجَسَدِيٌّ مَبِيعٌ تَحْتَ الْخَطِيَّةِ. | 14 For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin. |
|
| 15 لأَنِّي لَسْتُ أَعْرِفُ مَا أَنَا أَفْعَلُهُ، إِذْ لَسْتُ أَفْعَلُ مَا أُرِيدُهُ، بَلْ مَا أُبْغِضُهُ فَإِيَّاهُ أَفْعَلُ. | 15 For that which I do I allow not: for what I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do I. |
|
| 16 فَإِنْ كُنْتُ أَفْعَلُ مَا لَسْتُ أُرِيدُهُ، فَإِنِّي أُصَادِقُ النَّامُوسَ أَنَّهُ حَسَنٌ. | 16 If then I do that which I would not, I consent unto the law that it is good. |
|
| 17 فَالآنَ لَسْتُ بَعْدُ أَفْعَلُ ذلِكَ أَنَا، بَلِ الْخَطِيَّةُ السَّاكِنَةُ فِيَّ. | 17 Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me. |
|
| 18 فَإِنِّي أَعْلَمُ أَنَّهُ لَيْسَ سَاكِنٌ فِيَّ، أَيْ فِي جَسَدِي، شَيْءٌ صَالِحٌ. لأَنَّ الإِرَادَةَ حَاضِرَةٌ عِنْدِي، وَأَمَّا أَنْ أَفْعَلَ الْحُسْنَى فَلَسْتُ أَجِدُ. | 18 For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not. |
|
| 19 لأَنِّي لَسْتُ أَفْعَلُ الصَّالِحَ الَّذِي أُرِيدُهُ، بَلِ الشَّرَّ الَّذِي لَسْتُ أُرِيدُهُ فَإِيَّاهُ أَفْعَلُ. | 19 For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do. |
|
| 20 فَإِنْ كُنْتُ مَا لَسْتُ أُرِيدُهُ إِيَّاهُ أَفْعَلُ، فَلَسْتُ بَعْدُ أَفْعَلُهُ أَنَا، بَلِ الْخَطِيَّةُ السَّاكِنَةُ فِيَّ. | 20 Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me. |
|
| 21 إِذًا أَجِدُ النَّامُوسَ لِي حِينَمَا أُرِيدُ أَنْ أَفْعَلَ الْحُسْنَى أَنَّ الشَّرَّ حَاضِرٌ عِنْدِي. | 21 I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me. |
|
| 22 فَإِنِّي أُسَرُّ بِنَامُوسِ اللهِ بِحَسَبِ الإِنْسَانِ الْبَاطِنِ. | 22 For I delight in the law of God after the inward man: |
|
| 23 وَلكِنِّي أَرَى نَامُوسًا آخَرَ فِي أَعْضَائِي يُحَارِبُ نَامُوسَ ذِهْنِي، وَيَسْبِينِي إِلَى نَامُوسِ الْخَطِيَّةِ الْكَائِنِ فِي أَعْضَائِي. | 23 But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members. |
|
| 24 وَيْحِي أَنَا الإِنْسَانُ الشَّقِيُّ! مَنْ يُنْقِذُنِي مِنْ جَسَدِ هذَا الْمَوْتِ؟ | 24 O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death? |
|
| 25 أَشْكُرُ اللهَ بِيَسُوعَ الْمَسِيحِ رَبِّنَا! إِذًا أَنَا نَفْسِي بِذِهْنِي أَخْدِمُ نَامُوسَ اللهِ، وَلكِنْ بِالْجَسَدِ نَامُوسَ الْخَطِيَّةِ. | 25 I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin. |
