¹فماذا نقول ان ابانا ابراهيم قد وجد حسب الجسد.

¹What then shall we say that Abraham, our forefather, hath found according to the flesh?

²لانه ان كان ابراهيم قد تبرر بالاعمال فله فخر. ولكن ليس لدى الله.

²For if Abraham was justified by works, he hath whereof to glory; but not toward God.

³لانه ماذا يقول الكتاب. فآمن ابراهيم بالله فحسب له برا.

³For what saith the scripture? And Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned unto him for righteousness.

⁴اما الذي يعمل فلا تحسب له الاجرة على سبيل نعمة بل على سبيل دين.

⁴Now to him that worketh, the reward is not reckoned as of grace, but as of debt.

⁵واما الذي لا يعمل ولكن يؤمن بالذي يبرر الفاجر فايمانه يحسب له برا.

⁵But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is reckoned for righteousness.

⁶كما يقول داود ايضا في تطويب الانسان الذي يحسب له الله برا بدون اعمال.

⁶Even as David also pronounceth blessing upon the man, unto whom God reckoneth righteousness apart from works,

⁷طوبى للذين غفرت آثامهم وسترت خطاياهم.

⁷[saying], Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, And whose sins are covered.

⁸طوبى للرجل الذي لا يحسب له الرب خطية.

⁸Blessed is the man to whom, the Lord will not reckon sin.

⁹أفهذا التطويب هو على الختان فقط ام على الغرلة ايضا. لاننا نقول انه حسب لابراهيم الايمان برا.

⁹Is this blessing then pronounced upon the circumcision, or upon the uncircumcision also? for we say, To Abraham his faith was reckoned for righteousness.

¹⁰فكيف حسب. أوهو في الختان ام في الغرلة. ليس في الختان بل في الغرلة.

¹⁰How then was it reckoned? when he was in circumcision, or in uncircumcision? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision:

¹¹واخذ علامة الختان ختما لبر الايمان الذي كان في الغرلة ليكون ابا لجميع الذين يؤمنون وهم في الغرلة كي يحسب لهم ايضا البر.

¹¹and he received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had while he was in uncircumcision; that he might be the father of all them that believe, though they be in uncircumcision, that righteousness might be reckoned unto them;

¹²وابا للختان للذين ليسوا من الختان فقط بل ايضا يسلكون في خطوات ايمان ابينا ابراهيم الذي كان وهو في الغرلة.

¹²and the father of circumcision to them who not only are of the circumcision, but who also walk in the steps of that faith of our father Abraham which he had in uncircumcision.

¹³فانه ليس بالناموس كان الوعد لابراهيم او لنسله ان يكون وارثا للعالم بل ببر الايمان.

¹³For not through the law was the promise to Abraham or to his seed that he should be heir of the world, but through the righteousness of faith.

¹⁴لانه ان كان الذين من الناموس هم ورثة فقد تعطل الايمان وبطل الوعد.

¹⁴For if they that are of the law are heirs, faith is made void, and the promise is made of none effect:

¹⁵لان الناموس ينشئ غضبا اذ حيث ليس ناموس ليس ايضا تعدّ.

¹⁵for the law worketh wrath; but where there is no law, neither is there transgression.

¹⁶لهذا 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.

¹⁶For this cause [it is] of faith, that [it may be] according to grace; to the end that the promise may be sure to all the seed; not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham, who is the father of us all

¹⁷كما هو مكتوب اني قد جعلتك ابا لامم كثيرة. امام الله الذي آمن به الذي يحيي الموتى ويدعو الاشياء غير الموجودة كانها موجودة.

¹⁷(as it is written, A father of many nations have I made thee) before him whom he believed, [even] God, who giveth life to the dead, and calleth the things that are not, as though they were.

¹⁸فهو على خلاف الرجاء آمن على الرجاء لكي يصير ابا لامم كثيرة كما قيل هكذا يكون نسلك.

¹⁸Who in hope believed against hope, to the end that he might become a father of many nations, according to that which had been spoken, So shall thy seed be.

¹⁹واذ لم يكن ضعيفا في الايمان لم يعتبر جسده وهو قد صار مماتا اذ كان ابن نحو مئة سنة ولا مماتية مستودع سارة.

¹⁹And without being weakened in faith he considered his own body now as good as dead (he being about a hundred years old), and the deadness of Sarah's womb;

²⁰ولا بعدم ايمان ارتاب في وعد الله بل تقوّى بالايمان معطيا مجدا للّه.

²⁰yet, looking unto the promise of God, he wavered not through unbelief, but waxed strong through faith, giving glory to God,

²¹وتيقن ان ما وعد به هو قادر ان يفعله ايضا.

²¹and being fully assured that what he had promised, he was able also to perform.

²²لذلك ايضا حسب له برا.

²²Wherefore also it was reckoned unto him for righteousness.

²³ولكن لم يكتب من اجله وحده انه حسب له

²³Now it was not written for his sake alone, that it was reckoned unto him;

²⁴بل من اجلنا نحن ايضا الذين سيحسب لنا الذين نؤمن بمن اقام يسوع ربنا من الاموات.

²⁴but for our sake also, unto whom it shall be reckoned, who believe on him that raised Jesus our Lord from the dead,

²⁵الذي أسلم من اجل خطايانا وأقيم لاجل تبريرنا

²⁵who was delivered up for our trespasses, and was raised for our justification.
