روما 11

الكتاب المقدس

بقية بني إسرائيل

1 وَهُنَا أَقُولُ: هَلْ رَفَضَ اللهُ شَعْبَهُ؟ حَاشَا! فَأَنَا أَيْضاً إِسْرَائِيلِيٌّ، مِنْ نَسْلِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَمِنْ سِبْطِ بِنْيَامِينَ. 

2 إِنَّ اللهَ لَمْ يَرْفُضْ شَعْبَهُ الَّذِي كَانَ قَدِ اخْتَارَهُ. أَمَا تَعْلَمُونَ مَا يَقُولُهُ الْكِتَابُ فِي أَمْرِ إِيلِيَّا لَمَّا رَفَعَ إِلَى اللهِ شَكْوَى عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ قَائِلاً: 

3 «يَا رَبُّ؟ قَتَلُوا أَنْبِيَاءَكَ، وَهَدَمُوا مَذَابِحَكَ، وَبَقِيتُ أَنَا وَحْدِي، وَهُمْ يَسْعَوْنَ إِلَى قَتْلِي!» 

4 وَلكِنْ، مَاذَا كَانَ الْجَوَابُ الإِلَهِيُّ لَهُ؟ «أَبْقَيْتُ لِنَفْسِي سَبْعَةَ آلافِ رَجُلٍ لَمْ يَحْنُوا رُكْبَةً لِلْبَعْلِ!» 

5 فَكَذَلِكَ، فِي الزَّمَانِ الْحَاضِرِ، مَاتَزَالُ بَقِيَّةٌ اخْتَارَهَا اللهُ بِالنِّعْمَةِ. 

6 وَلكِنْ، بِمَا أَنَّ ذَلِكَ قَدْ تَمَّ بِالنِّعْمَةِ، فَلَيْسَ بَعْدُ عَلَى أَسَاسِ الأَعْمَالِ، وَإلَّا فَلَيْسَتِ النِّعْمَةُ نِعْمَةً بَعْدُ. 

7 فَمَا الْخُلاصَةُ إِذاً؟ إِنَّ مَا يَسْعَى إِلَيْهِ إِسْرَائِيلُ لَمْ يَنَالُوهُ، بَلْ نَالَهُ الْمُخْتَارُونَ مِنْهُمْ، وَالْبَاقُونَ عَمِيَتْ بَصَائِرُهُمْ، 

8 وَفْقاً لِمَا قَدْ كُتِبَ: «أَلْقَى اللهُ عَلَيْهِمْ رُوحَ خُمُولٍ وَأَعْطَاهُمْ عُيُوناً لَا يُبْصِرُونَ بِها، وَآذَاناً لَا يَسْمَعُونَ بِها، حَتَّى هَذَا الْيَوْمِ». 

9 كَذَلِكَ يَقُولُ دَاوُدُ: «لِتَصِرْ لَهُمْ مَائِدَتُهُمْ فَخّاً وَشَرَكاً وَعَقَبَةً وَعِقَاباً. 

10 لِتُظْلِمْ عُيُونُهُمْ كَيْ لَا يُبْصِرُوا، وَلْتَكُنْ ظُهُورُهُمْ مُنْحَنِيَةً دَائِماً!» 

الفروع المطعمة

11 فَأَقُولُ إِذاً: هَلْ تَعَثَّرُوا لِكَيْ يَسْقُطُوا أَبَداً؟ حَاشَا! بَلْ بِسَقْطَتِهِمْ تَوَفَّرَ الْخَلاصُ لِلأُمَمِ، لَعَلَّ ذلِكَ يُثِيرُ غَيْرَتَهُمْ. 

12 فَإِذَا كَانَتْ سَقْطَتُهُمْ غِنىً لِلْعَالَمِ، وَخَسَارَتُهُمْ غِنىً لِلأُمَمِ، فَكَمْ بِالأَحْرَى يَكُونُ اكْتِمَالُهُمْ؟ 

13 فَإِنِّي أُخَاطِبُكُمْ، أَنْتُمُ الأُمَمَ، بِمَا أَنِّي رَسُولٌ لِلأُمَمِ، مُمَجِّداً رِسَالَتِي، 

14 لَعَلِّي أُثِيرُ غَيْرَةَ بَنِي جِنْسِي فَأُنْقِذَ بَعْضاً مِنْهُمْ. 

15 فَإِذَا كَانَ إِبْعَادُهُمْ فُرْصَةً لِمُصَالَحَةِ الْعَالَمِ، فَمَاذَا يَكُونُ قُبُولُهُمْ إِلّا حَيَاةً مِنْ بَيْنِ الأَمْوَاتِ؟ 

16 وَإذَا كَانَتِ الْقِطْعَةُ الأُولَى مِنَ الْعَجِينِ مُقَدَّسَةً، فَالْعَجِينُ كُلُّهُ مُقَدَّسٌ؛ وَإذَا كَانَ أَصْلُ الشَّجَرَةِ مُقَدَّساً، فَالأَغْصَانُ أَيْضاً تَكُونُ مُقَدَّسَةً. 

17 فَإِذَا كَانَتْ بَعْضُ أَغْصَانِ الزَّيْتُونَةِ قَدْ قُطِعَتْ، ثُمَّ طُعِّمْتَ فِيهَا وَأَنْتَ مِنْ زَيْتُونَةٍ بَرِّيَّةٍ، فَصِرْتَ بِذَلِكَ شَرِيكاً فِي أَصْلِ الزَّيْتُونَةِ وَغِذَائِهَا، 

18 فَلا تَفْتَخِرْ عَلَى بَاقِي الأَغْصَانِ. وَإِنْ كُنْتَ تَفْتَخِرُ، فَلَسْتَ أَنْتَ تَحْمِلُ الأَصْلَ، بَلْ هُوَ يَحْمِلُكَ. 

19 وَلكِنَّكَ قَدْ تَقُولُ: «تِلْكَ الأَغْصَانُ قَدْ قُطِعَتْ لأُطَعَّمَ أَنَا!» 

20 صَحِيحٌ! فَهِيَ قُطِعَتْ لِسَبَبِ عَدَمِ الإِيمَانِ، وَأَنْتَ إِنَّمَا تَثْبُتُ بِسَبَبِ الإِيمَانِ. فَلا يَأْخُذْكَ الْغُرُورُ، بَلْ خَفْ 

21 إِنَّ اللهَ رُبَّمَا لَا يُبْقِي عَلَيْكَ مَادَامَ لَمْ يُبْقِ عَلَى الأَغْصَانِ الأَصْلِيَّةِ. 

22 فَتَأَمَّلْ إِذاً لُطْفَ اللهِ وَشِدَّتَهُ: أَمَّا الشِّدَّةُ، فَعَلَى الَّذِينَ سَقَطُوا؛ وَأَمَّا لُطْفُ اللهِ فَمِنْ نَحْوِكَ مَادُمْتَ تَثْبُتُ فِي اللُّطْفِ. وَلَوْ لَمْ تَكُنْ ثَابِتاً، لَكُنْتَ أَنْتَ أَيْضاً تُقْطَعُ. 

23 وَهُمْ أَيْضاً، إِنْ لَمْ يَثْبُتُوا فِي عَدَمِ الإِيمَان فَسَوْفَ يُطَعَّمُونَ، لأَنَّ اللهَ قَادِرٌ أَنْ يُطَعِّمَهُمْ مِنْ جَدِيدٍ. 

24 فَإِذَا كُنْتَ أَنْتَ قَدْ قُطِعْتَ مِنَ الزَّيْتُونَةِ الْبَرِّيَّةِ الَّتِي تَنْتَمِي إِلَيْهَا أَصْلاً، وَطُعِّمْتَ خِلافاً لِلْعَادَةِ فِي الزَّيْتُونَةِ الْجَيِّدَةِ، فَكَمْ بِالأَحْرَى هَؤُلاءِ، الَّذِينَ هُمْ أَغْصَانٌ أَصْلِيَّةٌ، سَوْفَ يُطَعَّمُونَ فِي زَيْتُونَتِهِمِ الْخَاصَّةِ. 

رحمة الله متاحة للجميع

25 فَإِنِّي لَا أُرِيدُ، أَيُّهَا الإِخْوَةُ، أَنْ يَخْفَى عَلَيْكُمْ هَذَا السِّرُّ، لِكَيْ لَا تَكُونُوا حُكَمَاءَ فِي نَظَرِ أَنْفُسِكُمْ، وَهُوَ أَنَّ الْعَمَى قَدْ أَصَابَ إِسْرَائِيلَ جُزْئِيًّا إِلَى أَنْ يَتِمَّ دُخُولُ الأُمَمِ. 

26 وَهكَذَا، سَوْفَ يَخْلُصُ جَمِيعُ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَفْقاً لِمَا قَدْ كُتِبَ: «إِنَّ الْمُنْقِذَ سَيَطْلُعُ مِنْ صِهْيَوْنَ وَيَرُدُّ الإِثْمَ عَنْ يَعْقُوبَ. 

27 وَهَذَا هُوَ الْعَهْدُ مِنِّي لَهُمْ حِينَ أُزِيلُ خَطَايَاهُمْ». 

28 فَفِيمَا يَتَعَلَّقُ بِالإِنْجِيلِ، هُمْ أَعْدَاءُ اللهِ مِنْ أَجْلِكُمْ. وَأَمَّا فِيمَا يَتَعَلَّقُ بِالاخْتِيَارِ الإِلهِيِّ فَهُمْ مَحْبُوبُونَ مِنْ أَجْلِ الآبَاءِ. 

29 فَإِنَّ اللهَ لَا يَتَرَاجَعُ أَبَداً عَنْ هِبَاتِهِ وَدَعْوَتِهِ. 

30 وَالْوَاقِعُ أَنَّهُ كَمَا كُنْتُمْ أَنْتُمْ فِي الْمَاضِي غَيْرَ مُطِيعِينَ لِلهِ، وَلَكِنَّكُمُ الآنَ نِلْتُمُ الرَّحْمَةَ مِنْ جَرَّاءِ عَدَمِ طَاعَتِهِمْ هُمْ، 

31 فَكَذَلِكَ الآنَ هُمْ غَيْرُ مُطِيعِينَ لِلهِ. لِيَنَالُوا هُمْ أَيْضاً الرَّحْمَةَ، مِنْ جَرَّاءِ الرَّحْمَةِ الَّتِي نِلْتُمُوهَا أَنْتُمْ. 

32 فَإِنَّ اللهَ حَبَسَ الْجَمِيعَ مَعاً فِي عَدَمِ الطَّاعَةِ لِكَيْ يَرْحَمَهُمْ جَمِيعاً. 

شكر الله

33 فَمَا أَعْمَقَ غِنَى اللهِ وَحِكْمَتَهُ وَعِلْمَهُ! مَا أَبْعَدَ أَحْكَامَهُ عَنِ الْفَحْصِ وَطُرُقَهُ عَنِ التَّتَبُّعِ! 

34 «لأَنَّهُ مَنْ عَرَفَ فِكْرَ الرَّبِّ؟ أَوْ مَنْ كَانَ لَهُ مُشِيراً؟ 

35 أَوْ مَنْ أَقْرَضَهُ شَيْئاً حَتَّى يُرَدَّ لَهُ؟» 

36 فَإِنَّ مِنْهُ وَبِهِ وَلَهُ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ. لَهُ الْمَجْدُ إِلَى الأَبَدِ. آمِينَ!

روما 11

English Standard Version

The Remnant of Israel

1 I ask, then, has God rejected his people? By no means! For I myself am an Israelite, a descendant of Abraham, a member of the tribe of Benjamin. (1صم 12:22; إر 31:37; إر 33:24; 2كو 11:22; في 3:5) 

2 God has not rejected his people whom he foreknew. Do you not know what the Scripture says of Elijah, how he appeals to God against Israel? (مز 94:14; رو 8:29) 

3 “Lord, they have killed your prophets, they have demolished your altars, and I alone am left, and they seek my life.” (1مل 19:10; 1مل 19:14) 

4 But what is God’s reply to him? “I have kept for myself seven thousand men who have not bowed the knee to Baal.” (1مل 19:18) 

5 So too at the present time there is a remnant, chosen by grace. (إر 3:14; زك 13:8; رو 9:27) 

6 But if it is by grace, it is no longer on the basis of works; otherwise grace would no longer be grace. (تث 9:4; رو 4:4) 

7 What then? Israel failed to obtain what it was seeking. The elect obtained it, but the rest were hardened, (رو 9:31; رو 11:25) 

8 as it is written, “God gave them a spirit of stupor, eyes that would not see and ears that would not hear, down to this very day.” (تث 29:4; إش 29:10; إش 43:8; إر 5:21; حز 12:2; مت 13:14; أف 4:18) 

9 And David says, “Let their table become a snare and a trap, a stumbling block and a retribution for them; (مز 69:22) 

10 let their eyes be darkened so that they cannot see, and bend their backs forever.” 

Gentiles Grafted In

11 So I ask, did they stumble in order that they might fall? By no means! Rather, through their trespass salvation has come to the Gentiles, so as to make Israel jealous. (أع 28:28) 

12 Now if their trespass means riches for the world, and if their failure means riches for the Gentiles, how much more will their full inclusion mean! 

13 Now I am speaking to you Gentiles. Inasmuch then as I am an apostle to the Gentiles, I magnify my ministry (أع 9:15; أع 26:17; رو 15:16) 

14 in order somehow to make my fellow Jews jealous, and thus save some of them. (1كو 7:16; 1كو 9:22; 1تي 4:16; يع 5:20) 

15 For if their rejection means the reconciliation of the world, what will their acceptance mean but life from the dead? (رو 5:11) 

16 If the dough offered as firstfruits is holy, so is the whole lump, and if the root is holy, so are the branches. (عد 15:18; نح 10:37; حز 44:30) 

17 But if some of the branches were broken off, and you, although a wild olive shoot, were grafted in among the others and now share in the nourishing root of the olive tree, (مز 52:8; إر 11:16; يو 15:2; أف 2:12) 

18 do not be arrogant toward the branches. If you are, remember it is not you who support the root, but the root that supports you. 

19 Then you will say, “Branches were broken off so that I might be grafted in.” 

20 That is true. They were broken off because of their unbelief, but you stand fast through faith. So do not become proud, but fear. (أم 28:14; إش 66:2; إش 66:5; إر 44:10; رو 12:3; رو 12:16; 1كو 10:12; 2كو 1:24; في 2:12; 1تي 6:17) 

21 For if God did not spare the natural branches, neither will he spare you. 

22 Note then the kindness and the severity of God: severity toward those who have fallen, but God’s kindness to you, provided you continue in his kindness. Otherwise you too will be cut off. (يو 15:2; 1كو 15:2; عب 3:6; عب 3:14) 

23 And even they, if they do not continue in their unbelief, will be grafted in, for God has the power to graft them in again. (2كو 3:16) 

24 For if you were cut from what is by nature a wild olive tree, and grafted, contrary to nature, into a cultivated olive tree, how much more will these, the natural branches, be grafted back into their own olive tree. 

The Mystery of Israel’s Salvation

25 Lest you be wise in your own sight, I do not want you to be unaware of this mystery, brothers: a partial hardening has come upon Israel, until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in. (لو 21:24; رو 11:7; رو 12:16; 2كو 3:14; رؤ 7:9) 

26 And in this way all Israel will be saved, as it is written, “The Deliverer will come from Zion, he will banish ungodliness from Jacob”; (مز 14:7; مز 53:6; إش 59:20; يو 4:22; عب 8:8) 

27 “and this will be my covenant with them when I take away their sins.” (إش 27:9; رو 9:4; عب 8:12) 

28 As regards the gospel, they are enemies for your sake. But as regards election, they are beloved for the sake of their forefathers. (تث 7:8; تث 10:15; رو 9:5) 

29 For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable. (رو 8:28) 

30 For just as you were at one time disobedient to God but now have received mercy because of their disobedience, (أف 2:2; أف 2:11; أف 2:13; كو 1:21; كو 3:7; تي 3:3) 

31 so they too have now been disobedient in order that by the mercy shown to you they also may now receive mercy. 

32 For God has consigned all to disobedience, that he may have mercy on all. (رو 3:9) 

33 Oh, the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments and how inscrutable his ways! (تث 29:29; مز 139:6; أف 3:10; كو 2:3) 

34 “For who has known the mind of the Lord, or who has been his counselor?” (أي 15:8; أي 36:22; إش 40:13; 1كو 2:16) 

35 “Or who has given a gift to him that he might be repaid?” (أي 35:7; أي 41:11) 

36 For from him and through him and to him are all things. To him be glory forever. Amen. (رو 16:27; 1كو 8:6; 1كو 11:12; أف 3:21; في 4:20; كو 1:16; 1تي 1:17; عب 2:10; 1بط 4:11; 2بط 3:18; يه 1:25; رؤ 1:6; رؤ 5:13)
