Is this Egyptian Arabic Dialect?

Question

الجواب: إن الفدية هي ما يدفع لتحرير شخص تم أسره. دفع يسوع فديتنا ليحررنا من الخطية والموت والجحيم. نجد في كل من سفر الخروج واللاويين والعدد والتثنية متطلبات وشروط الله للذبيحة المقدمة. في زمن العهد القديم، أمر الله شعب إسرائيل أن يقدموا ذبائح حيوانية ككفارة بديلة؛ أي أن تقدم حياة الحيوان بدلا من حياة الشخص، حيث الموت هو جزاء الخطية (رومية 6: 23). يقول سفر الخروج 29: 36 " وَتُقَدِّمُ ثَوْرَ خَطِيَّةٍ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ لاجْلِ الْكَفَّارَةِ".

الله يتطلب منا القداسة (بطرس الأولى 1: 15-16). ويتطلب ناموس الله القداسة. لا يمكننا أن نقدم لله قداسة كاملة بسبب خطايانا (رومية 3: 23)؛ لذلك يتطلب الله إستيفاء متطلبات ناموسه. وقد أوفت الذبائح المقدمة له هذه المتطلبات. وهنا يأتي دور المسيح. يقول في عبرانيين 9: 12-15 "وَلَيْسَ بِدَمِ تُيُوسٍ وَعُجُولٍ، بَلْ بِدَمِ نَفْسِهِ، دَخَلَ مَرَّةً وَاحِدَةً إِلَى الأَقْدَاسِ، فَوَجَدَ فِدَاءً أَبَدِيّاً. لأَنَّهُ إِنْ كَانَ دَمُ ثِيرَانٍ وَتُيُوسٍ وَرَمَادُ عِجْلَةٍ مَرْشُوشٌ عَلَى الْمُنَجَّسِينَ يُقَدِّسُ إِلَى طَهَارَةِ الْجَسَدِ، فَكَمْ بِالْحَرِيِّ يَكُونُ دَمُ الْمَسِيحِ، الَّذِي بِرُوحٍ أَزَلِيٍّ قَدَّمَ نَفْسَهُ لِلَّهِ بِلاَ عَيْبٍ، يُطَهِّرُ ضَمَائِرَكُمْ مِنْ أَعْمَالٍ مَيِّتَةٍ لِتَخْدِمُوا اللهَ الْحَيَّ! وَلأَجْلِ هَذَا هُوَ وَسِيطُ عَهْدٍ جَدِيدٍ، لِكَيْ يَكُونَ الْمَدْعُّوُونَ — إِذْ صَارَ مَوْتٌ لِفِدَاءِ التَّعَدِّيَاتِ الَّتِي فِي الْعَهْدِ الأَوَّلِ — يَنَالُونَ وَعْدَ الْمِيرَاثِ الأَبَدِيِّ".

Answer 1

No, it's modern standard Arabic (MSA).

Answer 2

No, it is not Egyptian Arabic but a translation into Standard Arabic probably by a native speaker of Arabic born and taught in Egypt. To your knowledge, even written Standard Arabic shows some regnal differences. You can compare newspapers in Lebanon to those in Egypt or those in Kuwait to those in Morroco and find the differences.

Answer 3

Not the Egyptian Dialect but modern standard Arabic or more of literary Arabic

Answer 4

This proper/literary Arabic. most Arabic dialects use the same form of formal writing e.g Newspapers. However, some local dialects use a different form of writing "slang" to communicate informally e.g communicating with friends or family

Answer 5

Hi Gabe,

The text you posted is in Standard Arabic also referred to as Literary Arabic as James indicated. Because there are so many Arab countries with each having its own subset of words that other countries don't use in their individual dialects, the Standard Arabic is used for all formal communications, that way no matter what Arab country dialect you speak, you can always read and understand the standard version.

Answer 6

This is a Christian sermon. It is written in good literary Arabic, not Egyptian dialect.

Answer 7

Egyptian Arabic is considered the most spoken language by the majority of Arabs in their everyday lives. This is mainly because most of the movies and series are made in Egypt and these are widely watched by most of Arabs all over the Arabic speaking countries. Egyptian Arabic is ingrained in the Arabic cultures and has its origins but can also occur within the same country. Egyptian Colloquial Arabic is mostly spoken in Cairo, but is used in written form for plays, music and books across all the Arab regions.

The Egyptian dialect might not be the closest to the Fosha but it is still the most common and easily understood among Arabs.
