Lettera ai Galati (غلاطية) 2

SMITH VAN DYKE	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 ثم بعد اربع عشرة سنة صعدت ايضا الى اورشليم مع برنابا آخذا معي تيطس ايضا.	1 Then after fourteen years I again went up to Jerusalem with Barnabas, taking Titus along also.
2 وانما صعدت بموجب اعلان وعرضت عليهم الانجيل الذي اكرز به بين الامم ولكن بالانفراد على المعتبرين لئلا اكون اسعى او قد سعيت باطلا.	2 I went up in accord with a revelation, and I presented to them the gospel that I preach to the Gentiles--but privately to those of repute--so that I might not be running, or have run, in vain.
3 لكن لم يضطر ولا تيطس الذي كان معي وهو يوناني ان يختتن.	3 Moreover, not even Titus, who was with me, although he was a Greek, was compelled to be circumcised,
4 ولكن بسبب الاخوة الكذبة المدخلين خفية الذين دخلوا اختلاسا ليتجسسوا حريتنا التي لنا في المسيح كي يستعبدونا.	4 but because of the false brothers secretly brought in, who slipped in to spy on our freedom that we have in Christ Jesus, that they might enslave us--
5 الذين لم نذعن لهم بالخضوع ولا ساعة ليبقى عندكم حق الانجيل.	5 to them we did not submit even for a moment, so that the truth of the gospel might remain intact for you.
6 واما المعتبرون انهم شيء مهما كانوا لا فرق عندي. الله لا يأخذ بوجه انسان. فان هؤلاء المعتبرين لم يشيروا عليّ بشيء.	6 But from those who were reputed to be important (what they once were makes no difference to me; God shows no partiality)--those of repute made me add nothing.
7 بل بالعكس اذ رأوا اني اؤتمنت على انجيل الغرلة كما بطرس على انجيل الختان.	7 On the contrary, when they saw that I had been entrusted with the gospel to the uncircumcised, just as Peter to the circumcised,
8 فان الذي عمل في بطرس لرسالة الختان عمل فيّ ايضا للامم.	8 for the one who worked in Peter for an apostolate to the circumcised worked also in me for the Gentiles,
9 فاذ علم بالنعمة المعطاة لي يعقوب وصفا ويوحنا المعتبرون انهم اعمدة اعطوني وبرنابا يمين الشركة لنكون نحن للامم واما هم فللختان.	9 and when they recognized the grace bestowed upon me, James and Kephas and John, who were reputed to be pillars, gave me and Barnabas their right hands in partnership, that we should go to the Gentiles and they to the circumcised.
10 غير ان نذكر الفقراء. وهذا عينه كنت اعتنيت ان افعله	10 Only, we were to be mindful of the poor, which is the very thing I was eager to do.
11 ولكن لما أتى بطرس الى انطاكية قاومته مواجهة لانه كان ملوما.	11 And when Kephas came to Antioch, I opposed him to his face because he clearly was wrong.
12 لانه قبلما أتى قوم من عند يعقوب كان يأكل مع الامم ولكن لما أتوا كان يؤخر ويفرز نفسه خائفا من الذين هم من الختان.	12 For, until some people came from James, he used to eat with the Gentiles; but when they came, he began to draw back and separated himself, because he was afraid of the circumcised.
13 وراءى معه باقي اليهود ايضا حتى ان برنابا ايضا انقاد الى ريائهم.	13 And the rest of the Jews (also) acted hypocritically along with him, with the result that even Barnabas was carried away by their hypocrisy.
14 لكن لما رأيت انهم لا يسلكون باستقامة حسب حق الانجيل قلت لبطرس قدام الجميع ان كنت وانت يهودي تعيش امميا لا يهوديا فلماذا تلزم الامم ان يتهوّدوا.	14 But when I saw that they were not on the right road in line with the truth of the gospel, I said to Kephas in front of all, "If you, though a Jew, are living like a Gentile and not like a Jew, how can you compel the Gentiles to live like Jews?"
15 نحن بالطبيعة يهود ولسنا من الامم خطاة	15 We, who are Jews by nature and not sinners from among the Gentiles,
16 اذ نعلم ان الانسان لا يتبرر باعمال الناموس بل بايمان يسوع المسيح آمنّا نحن ايضا بيسوع المسيح لنتبرر بايمان يسوع لا باعمال الناموس. لانه باعمال الناموس لا يتبرر جسد ما.	16 (yet) who know that a person is not justified by works of the law but through faith in Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Christ Jesus that we may be justified by faith in Christ and not by works of the law, because by works of the law no one will be justified.
17 فان كنا ونحن طالبون ان نتبرر في المسيح نوجد نحن انفسنا ايضا خطاة أفالمسيح خادم للخطية. حاشا.	17 But if, in seeking to be justified in Christ, we ourselves are found to be sinners, is Christ then a minister of sin? Of course not!
18 فاني ان كنت ابني ايضا هذا الذي قد هدمته فاني اظهر نفسي متعديا.	18 But if I am building up again those things that I tore down, then I show myself to be a transgressor.
19 لاني مت بالناموس للناموس لاحيا للّه.	19 For through the law I died to the law, that I might live for God. I have been crucified with Christ;
20 مع المسيح صلبت فاحيا لا انا بل المسيح يحيا فيّ. فما احياه الآن في الجسد فانما احياه في الايمان ايمان ابن الله الذي احبني واسلم نفسه لاجلي	20 yet I live, no longer I, but Christ lives in me; insofar as I now live in the flesh, I live by faith in the Son of God who has loved me and given himself up for me.
21 لست ابطل نعمة الله. لانه ان كان بالناموس بر فالمسيح اذا مات بلا سبب	21 I do not nullify the grace of God; for if justification comes through the law, then Christ died for nothing.
