Romans
« Chapter 6 »
1
What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin so that grace will increase?
فَمَاذَا نَقُولُ إِذًا؟ هَلْ نَسْتَمِرُّ فِي الذَّنْبِ لِكَيْ يَزْدَادَ الْفَضْلُ؟
2
May Allah forbid it! We have died to sin, so how can we live in it anymore?
لَا سَمَحَ اللهُ! أَمَّا وَقَدْ مُتْنَا عَنِ الذَّنْبِ، فَكَيْفَ نَحْيَا بَعْدُ فِيهِ؟
3
Do you not know that all of us who were immersed as belonging to Al-Masih Isa also belong to his death?
أَلَا تَعْلَمُونَ أَنَّ جَمِيعَنَا الَّذِينَ تَغَطَّسْنَا انْتِمَاءً إِلَى الْمَسِيحِ عِيسَى قَدِ انْتَمَيْنَا أَيْضًا إِلَى مَوْتِهِ؟
4
وَبِهَذَا الِانْتِمَاءِ دُفِنَّا مَعَهُ فِي مَوْتِهِ، لِكَيْ نَسْلُكَ فِي حَيَاةٍ جَدِيدَةٍ مِثْلَمَا بُعِثَ الْمَسِيحُ حَيًّا مِنْ بَيْنِ الْأَمْوَاتِ بِجَلَالِ مَجْدِ الْمَلِكِ الرَّحْمَنِ،
5
If we have been united with him in a death like his, our resurrection will be like his also.
فَإِنْ كُنَّا قَدِ اتَّحَدْنَا مَعَهُ فِي مِثَالِ مَوْتِهِ، سَيَكُونُ بَعْثُنَا مِثْلَ بَعْثِهِ أَيْضًا،
6
We know that our old being was executed on the cross with him so that the sinful body would die, and we would no longer be slaves to sin.
عَالِمِينَ أَنَّ كِيَانَنَا الْقَدِيمَ أُعْدِمَ عَلَى الصَّلِيبِ مَعَهُ، حَتَّى يَمُوتَ الْجَسَدُ الْمُذْنِبُ، فَلَا نَعُودَ عَبِيدًا لِلذَّنْبِ،
7
The person who dies is freed from sin.
إِذِ الْمَيِّتُ قَدْ تَحَرَّرَ مِنَ الذَّنْبِ،
8
Since we have died with Al-Masih, we believe that we will live with him, too.
فَإِذْ قَدْ مُتْنَا مَعَ الْمَسِيحِ، نُؤْمِنُ بِأَنَّنَا سَنَحْيَا مَعَهُ أَيْضًا،
9
We know that Al-Masih has been resurrected alive from among the dead, and he will never die again. Death will have no more authority over him.
عَالِمِينَ أَنَّ الْمَسِيحَ قَدْ بُعِثَ حَيًّا مِنْ بَيْنِ الْأَمْوَاتِ، وَلَنْ يَمُوتَ ثَانِيَةً، إِذْ لَنْ يَكُونَ لِلْمَوْتِ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ سُلْطَانٍ.
10
Through his death, he died once for sins. But his life he lives to Allah.
إِذْ بِمَوْتِهِ مَاتَ مِنْ أَجْلِ الذُّنُوبِ مَرَّةً وَاحِدَةً، أَمَّا حَيَاتُهُ، فَيَحْيَاهَا لِلهِ،
11
So consider yourselves also dead with regard to sins, and live to Allah by your belonging to Al-Masih Isa.
فَاحْسَبُوا أَنْفُسَكُمْ أَيْضًا مَوْتَى بِخُصُوصِ الذُّنُوبِ، وَأَحْيَاءً لِلهِ بِانْتِمَائِكُمْ إِلَى الْمَسِيحِ عِيسَى،
12
Do not let sins rule over your mortal bodies and do not let its passions make you slaves.
فَلَا تَتْرُكُوا الذُّنُوبَ تَسُودُ جَسَدَكُمُ الْفَانِي فَتَسْتَعْبِدُكُمْ شَهَوَاتُهَا،
13
Do not deliver the members of your bodies as weapons of wickedness by way of sins.
وَلَا تُسَلِّمُوا أَعْضَاءَ أَجْسَادِكُمْ سَلَاحًا لِلظُّلْمِ فِي سَبِيلِ الذُّنُوبِ، بَلْ سَلِّمُوا أَنْفُسَكُمْ لِلهِ بِاعْتِبَارِ أَنَّهُ بَعَثَكُمْ أَحْيَاءً، وَسَلِّمُوا أَعْضَاءَ أَجْسَادِكُمْ سَلَاحًا لِلصَّلَاحِ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ،
14
Sins will have no authority over you, since you are not under the sharia, but under the grace of Allah.
فَلَنْ يَكُونَ لِلذُّنُوبِ عَلَيْكُمْ مِنْ سُلْطَانٍ، إِذْ لَسْتُمْ تَحْتَ الشَّرِيعَةِ، بَلْ تَحْتَ فَضْلِ اللهِ.
15
What then? Are we permitted to sin because we are under the grace of Allah and not under the sharia? May Allah forbid it!
فَمَاذَا إِذًا؟ هَلْ يُسْمَحُ لَنَا أَنْ نُذْنِبَ لِأَنَّنَا تَحْتَ فَضْلِ اللهِ وَلَسْنَا تَحْتَ شَرِيعَتِهِ؟ لَا سَمَحَ اللهُ!
16
Do you not know that if you deliver yourselves to anyone as obedient slaves, you become slaves of the person you obey, either sins, which lead to death or obedience, which leads to righteousness.
أَلَا تَعْلَمُونَ أَنَّهُ إِنْ سَلَّمْتُمْ أَنْفُسَكُمْ لِأَحَدٍ كَعَبِيدٍ طَائِعِينَ، أَصْبَحْتُمْ عَبِيدًا لِمَنْ تُطِيعُونَهُ، إِمَّا لِلذُّنُوبِ الْمُؤَدِّيَةِ إِلَى الْمَوْتِ، أَوْ لِلطَّاعَةِ الْمُؤَدِّيَةِ إِلَى الصَّلَاحِ؟
17
But Alhamdulillah that you obeyed the truths you learned from your hearts, even though you were slaves to sins.
لَكِنِ الْحَمْدُ لِلهِ عَلَى أَنَّكُمْ أَطَعْتُمْ مِنْ قُلُوبِكُمْ مَا تَعَلَّمْتُمُوهُ مِنَ الْحَقَائِقِ، مَعَ أَنَّكُمْ كُنْتُمْ عَبِيدًا لِلذُّنُوبِ،
18
You were freed from slavery to sins and have become slaves of righteousness.
وَتَحَرَّرْتُمْ مِنْ عُبُودِيَّةِ الذُّنُوبِ وَأَصْبَحْتُمْ عَبِيدَ الصَّلَاحِ.
19
I speak in proverbs of this world because of your human weakness. You delivered the members of your bodies as slaves to uncleanness and disobedience, to commit them increasingly. But now, deliver your bodies as slaves of righteousness so that you will be purified and holy.
أَتَكَلَّمُ بِأَمْثَالٍ دُنْيَوِيَّةٍ بِسَبَبِ ضَعْفِكُمُ الْبَشَرِيِّ. فَمِثْلَمَا كُنْتُمْ تُسَلِّمُونَ أَعْضَاءَ أَجْسَادِكُمْ عَبِيدًا لِلنَّجَاسَةِ وَالْمَعَاصِي لِكَيْ تَزِيدُوا مِنِ ارْتِكَابِهَا، سَلِّمُوا الْآنَ أَعْضَاءَ أَجْسَادِكُمْ عَبِيدًا لِلصَّلَاحِ لِكَيْ تُطَهَّرُوا مُقَدَّسِينَ،
20
In the past, you were slaves of sins and free from righteousness.
كُنْتُمْ فِي الْمَاضِي عَبِيدًا لِلذُّنُوبِ وَأَحْرَارًا مِنَ الصَّلَاحِ،
21
What benefit did you get from the fruit of these things of which you are now ashamed? That leads to death.
لَكِنْ مَاذَا أَفَادَكُمْ ثَمَرُ تِلْكَ الْأُمُورِ الَّتِي تَخْجَلُونَ مِنْهَا الْآنَ، وَالَّتِي عَاقِبَتُهَا الْمَوْتُ؟
22
You have now been freed from slavery to sins, and have become slaves of Allah. So you have obtained the fruit of holiness and purity, which leads to eternal spiritual life.
فَإِنَّكُمُ الْآنَ قَدْ تَحَرَّرْتُمْ مِنْ عُبُودِيَّةِ الذُّنُوبِ وَأَصْبَحْتُمْ عَبِيدًا لِلهِ، فَحَصَلْتُمْ عَلَى ثَمَرِ طَهَارَةِ الْقَدَاسَةِ الَّتِي عَاقِبَتُهُ هِيَ الْحَيَاةُ الرُّوحِيَّةُ الْبَاقِيَةُ.
23
The punishment of sins is death, but the gift of the grace of Allah is eternal spiritual life by our belonging to our mawla Al-Masih Isa.
لِأَنَّ جَزَاءَ الذُّنُوبِ هُوَ الْمَوْتُ، أَمَّا هِبَةُ فَضْلِ اللهِ فَهِيَ الْحَيَاةُ الرُّوحِيَّةُ الْبَاقِيَةُ بِانْتِمَائِنَا إِلَى مَوْلَانَا الْمَسِيحِ عِيسَى.
