Romans 4

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	SMITH VAN DYKE
1 What then can we say that Abraham found, our ancestor according to the flesh?	1 فماذا نقول ان ابانا ابراهيم قد وجد حسب الجسد.
2 Indeed, if Abraham was justified on the basis of his works, he has reason to boast; but this was not so in the sight of God.	2 لانه ان كان ابراهيم قد تبرر بالاعمال فله فخر. ولكن ليس لدى الله.
3 For what does the scripture say? "Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness."	3 لانه ماذا يقول الكتاب. فآمن ابراهيم بالله فحسب له برا.
4 A worker's wage is credited not as a gift, but as something due.	4 اما الذي يعمل فلا تحسب له الاجرة على سبيل نعمة بل على سبيل دين.
5 But when one does not work, yet believes in the one who justifies the ungodly, his faith is credited as righteousness.	5 واما الذي لا يعمل ولكن يؤمن بالذي يبرر الفاجر فايمانه يحسب له برا.
6 So also David declares the blessedness of the person to whom God credits righteousness apart from works:	6 كما يقول داود ايضا في تطويب الانسان الذي يحسب له الله برا بدون اعمال.
7 "Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven and whose sins are covered.	7 طوبى للذين غفرت آثامهم وسترت خطاياهم.
8 Blessed is the man whose sin the Lord does not record."	8 طوبى للرجل الذي لا يحسب له الرب خطية.
9 Does this blessedness apply only to the circumcised, or to the uncircumcised as well? Now we assert that "faith was credited to Abraham as righteousness."	9 أفهذا التطويب هو على الختان فقط ام على الغرلة ايضا. لاننا نقول انه حسب لابراهيم الايمان برا.
10 Under what circumstances was it credited? Was he circumcised or not? He was not circumcised, but uncircumcised.	10 فكيف حسب. أوهو في الختان ام في الغرلة. ليس في الختان بل في الغرلة.
11 And he received the sign of circumcision as a seal on the righteousness received through faith while he was uncircumcised. Thus he was to be the father of all the uncircumcised who believe, so that to them (also) righteousness might be credited,	11 واخذ علامة الختان ختما لبر الايمان الذي كان في الغرلة ليكون ابا لجميع الذين يؤمنون وهم في الغرلة كي يحسب لهم ايضا البر.
12 as well as the father of the circumcised who not only are circumcised, but also follow the path of faith that our father Abraham walked while still uncircumcised.	12 وابا للختان للذين ليسوا من الختان فقط بل ايضا يسلكون في خطوات ايمان ابينا ابراهيم الذي كان وهو في الغرلة.
13 It was not through the law that the promise was made to Abraham and his descendants that he would inherit the world, but through the righteousness that comes from faith.	13 فانه ليس بالناموس كان الوعد لابراهيم او لنسله ان يكون وارثا للعالم بل ببر الايمان.
14 For if those who adhere to the law are the heirs, faith is null and the promise is void.	14 لانه ان كان الذين من الناموس هم ورثة فقد تعطل الايمان وبطل الوعد.
15 For the law produces wrath; but where there is no law, neither is there violation.	15 لان الناموس ينشئ غضبا اذ حيث ليس ناموس ليس ايضا تعدّ.
16 For this reason, it depends on faith, so that it may be a gift, and the promise may be guaranteed to all his descendants, not to those who only adhere to the law but to those who follow the faith of Abraham, who is the father of all of us,	16 لهذا هو من الايمان كي يكون على سبيل النعمة ليكون الوعد وطيدا لجميع النسل ليس لمن هو من الناموس فقط بل ايضا لمن هو من ايمان ابراهيم الذي هو اب لجميعنا.
17 as it is written, "I have made you father of many nations." He is our father in the sight of God, in whom he believed, who gives life to the dead and calls into being what does not exist.	17 كما هو مكتوب اني قد جعلتك ابا لامم كثيرة. امام الله الذي آمن به الذي يحيي الموتى ويدعو الاشياء غير الموجودة كانها موجودة.
18 He believed, hoping against hope, that he would become "the father of many nations," according to what was said, "Thus shall your descendants be."	18 فهو على خلاف الرجاء آمن على الرجاء لكي يصير ابا لامم كثيرة كما قيل هكذا يكون نسلك.
19 He did not weaken in faith when he considered his own body as (already) dead (for he was almost a hundred years old) and the dead womb of Sarah.	19 واذ لم يكن ضعيفا في الايمان لم يعتبر جسده وهو قد صار مماتا اذ كان ابن نحو مئة سنة ولا مماتية مستودع سارة.
20 He did not doubt God's promise in unbelief; rather, he was empowered by faith and gave glory to God	20 ولا بعدم ايمان ارتاب في وعد الله بل تقوّى بالايمان معطيا مجدا للّه.
21 and was fully convinced that what he had promised he was also able to do.	21 وتيقن ان ما وعد به هو قادر ان يفعله ايضا.
22 That is why "it was credited to him as righteousness."	22 لذلك ايضا حسب له برا.
23 But it was not for him alone that it was written that "it was credited to him";	23 ولكن لم يكتب من اجله وحده انه حسب له
24 it was also for us, to whom it will be credited, who believe in the one who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead,	24 بل من اجلنا نحن ايضا الذين سيحسب لنا الذين نؤمن بمن اقام يسوع ربنا من الاموات.
25 who was handed over for our transgressions and was raised for our justification.	25 الذي أسلم من اجل خطايانا وأقيم لاجل تبريرنا
