Lettera ai Galati (غلاطية) 3

SMITH VAN DYKE	NEW JERUSALEM
1 ايها الغلاطيون الاغبياء من رقاكم حتى لا تذعنوا للحق انتم الذين امام عيونكم قد رسم يسوع المسيح بينكم مصلوبا.	1 You stupid people in Galatia! After you have had a clear picture of Jesus Christ crucified, right in front ofyour eyes, who has put a spell on you?
2 اريد ان اتعلّم منكم هذا فقط أباعمال الناموس اخذتم الروح ام بخبر الايمان.	2 There is only one thing I should like you to tel me: How was it that you received the Spirit -- was it bythe practice of the Law, or by believing in the message you heard?
3 أهكذا انتم اغبياء. أبعد ما أبتدأتم بالروح تكملون الآن بالجسد	3 Having begun in the Spirit, can you be so stupid as to end in the flesh?
4 أهذا المقدار احتملتم عبثا ان كان عبثا.	4 Can al the favours you have received have had no effect at al -- if there real y has been no effect?
5 فالذي يمنحكم الروح ويعمل قوات فيكم أباعمال الناموس ام بخبر الايمان.	5 Would you say, then, that he who so lavishly sends the Spirit to you, and causes the miracles amongyou, is doing this through your practice of the Law or because you believed the message you heard?
6 كما آمن ابراهيم بالله فحسب له برا.	6 Abraham, you remember, put his faith in God, and this was reckoned to him as uprightness.
7 اعلموا اذا ان الذين هم من الايمان اولئك هم بنو ابراهيم.	7 Be sure, then, that it is people of faith who are the children of Abraham.
8 والكتاب اذ سبق فرأى ان الله بالايمان يبرر الامم سبق فبشر ابراهيم ان فيك تتبارك جميع الامم.	8 And it was because scripture foresaw that God would give saving justice to the gentiles through faith,that it announced the future gospel to Abraham in the words: Al nations wil be blessed in you.
9 اذا الذين هم من الايمان يتباركون مع ابراهيم المؤمن.	9 So it is people of faith who receive the same blessing as Abraham, the man of faith.
10 لان جميع الذين هم من اعمال الناموس هم تحت لعنة لانه مكتوب ملعون كل من لا يثبت في جميع ما هو مكتوب في كتاب الناموس ليعمل به.	10 On the other hand, all those who depend on the works of the Law are under a curse, since scripturesays: Accursed be he who does not make what is written in the book of the Law effective, by putting it intopractice.
11 ولكن ان ليس احد يتبرر بالناموس عند الله فظاهر لان البار بالايمان يحيا.	11 Now it is obvious that nobody is reckoned as upright in God's sight by the Law, since the upright willlive through faith;
12 ولكن الناموس ليس من الايمان بل الانسان الذي يفعلها سيحيا بها.	12 and the Law is based not on faith but on the principle, whoever complies with it will find life in it.
13 المسيح افتدانا من لعنة الناموس اذ صار لعنة لاجلنا لانه مكتوب ملعون كل من علّق على خشبة.	13 Christ redeemed us from the curse of the Law by being cursed for our sake since scripture says:Anyone hanged is accursed,
14 لتصير بركة ابراهيم للامم في المسيح يسوع لننال بالايمان موعد الروح	14 so that the blessing of Abraham might come to the gentiles in Christ Jesus, and so that we mightreceive the promised Spirit through faith.
15 ايها الاخوة بحسب الانسان اقول ليس احد يبطّل عهدا قد تمكن ولو من انسان او يزيد عليه.	15 To put it in human terms, my brothers: even when a will is only a human one, once it has been ratifiednobody can cancel it or add more provisions to it.
16 واما المواعيد فقيلت في ابراهيم وفي نسله. لا يقول وفي الانسال كانه عن كثيرين بل كانه عن واحد وفي نسلك الذي هو المسيح.	16 Now the promises were addressed to Abraham and to his progeny. The words were not and to hisprogenies in the plural, but in the singular; and to your progeny, which means Christ.
17 وانما اقول هذا ان الناموس الذي صار بعد اربع مئة وثلاثين سنة لا ينسخ عهدا قد سبق فتمكن من الله نحو المسيح حتى يبطّل الموعد.	17 What I am saying is this: once a wil had been long ago ratified by God, the Law, coming four hundredand thirty years later, could not abolish it and so nul ify its promise.
18 لانه ان كانت الوراثة من الناموس فلم تكن ايضا من موعد. ولكن الله وهبها لابراهيم بموعد	18 You see, if the inheritance comes by the Law, it no longer comes through a promise; but it was by apromise that God made his gift to Abraham.
19 فلماذا الناموس. قد زيد بسبب التعديات الى ان يأتي النسل الذي قد وعد له مرتبا بملائكة في يد وسيط.	19 Then what is the purpose of the Law? It was added to deal with crimes until the 'progeny' to whom thepromise had been made should come; and it was promulgated through angels, by the agency of an intermediary.
20 واما الوسيط فلا يكون لواحد. ولكن الله واحد.	20 Now there can be an intermediary only between two parties, yet God is one.
21 فهل الناموس ضد مواعيد الله. حاشا. لانه لو أعطي ناموس قادر ان يحيي لكان بالحقيقة البر بالناموس.	21 Is the Law contrary, then, to God's promises? Out of the question! If the Law that was given had beencapable of giving life, then certainly saving justice would have come from the Law.
22 لكن الكتاب اغلق على الكل تحت الخطية ليعطى الموعد من ايمان يسوع المسيح للذين يؤمنون.	22 As it is, scripture makes no exception when it says that sin is master everywhere; so the promise canbe given only by faith in Jesus Christ to those who have this faith.
23 ولكن قبلما جاء الايمان كنا محروسين تحت الناموس مغلقا علينا الى الايمان العتيد ان يعلن.	23 But before faith came, we were kept under guard by the Law, locked up to wait for the faith whichwould eventual y be revealed to us.
24 اذا قد كان الناموس مؤدبنا الى المسيح لكي نتبرر بالايمان.	24 So the Law was serving as a slave to look after us, to lead us to Christ, so that we could be justified byfaith.
25 ولكن بعد ما جاء الايمان لسنا بعد تحت مؤدب.	25 But now that faith has come we are no longer under a slave looking after us;
26 لانكم جميعا ابناء الله بالايمان بالمسيح يسوع.	26 for al of you are the children of God, through faith, in Christ Jesus,
27 لان كلكم الذين اعتمدتم بالمسيح قد لبستم المسيح.	27 since every one of you that has been baptised has been clothed in Christ.
28 ليس يهودي ولا يوناني. ليس عبد ولا حر. ليس ذكر وانثى لانكم جميعا واحد في المسيح يسوع.	28 There can be neither Jew nor Greek, there can be neither slave nor freeman, there can be neithermale nor female -- for you are all one in Christ Jesus.
29 فان كنتم للمسيح فانتم اذا نسل ابراهيم وحسب الموعد ورثة	29 And simply by being Christ's, you are that progeny of Abraham, the heirs named in the promise.
