< يَعقُوب 1 >

يَعْقُوبُ، عَبْدُ ٱللهِ وَٱلرَّبِّ يَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ، يُهْدِي ٱلسَّلَامَ إِلَى ٱلِٱثْنَيْ عَشَرَ سِبْطًا ٱلَّذِينَ فِي ٱلشَّتَاتِ. ١ 1
James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad, greeting.
اِحْسِبُوهُ كُلَّ فَرَحٍ يَا إِخْوَتِي حِينَمَا تَقَعُونَ فِي تَجَارِبَ مُتَنَوِّعَةٍ، ٢ 2
Count it all joy, my brethren, when ye fall into various temptations;
عَالِمِينَ أَنَّ ٱمْتِحَانَ إِيمَانِكُمْ يُنْشِئُ صَبْرًا. ٣ 3
knowing that the trying of your faith worketh endurance.
وَأَمَّا ٱلصَّبْرُ فَلْيَكُنْ لَهُ عَمَلٌ تَامٌّ، لِكَيْ تَكُونُوا تَامِّينَ وَكَامِلِينَ غَيْرَ نَاقِصِينَ فِي شَيْءٍ. ٤ 4
But let endurance have a perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting in nothing.
وَإِنَّمَا إِنْ كَانَ أَحَدُكُمْ تُعْوِزُهُ حِكْمَةٌ، فَلْيَطْلُبْ مِنَ ٱللهِ ٱلَّذِي يُعْطِي ٱلْجَمِيعَ بِسَخَاءٍ وَلَا يُعَيِّرُ، فَسَيُعْطَى لَهُ. ٥ 5
But if any one of you is wanting in wisdom, let him ask of God, who giveth to all liberally, and upbraideth not; and it will be given him.
وَلَكِنْ لِيَطْلُبْ بِإِيمَانٍ غَيْرَ مُرْتَابٍ ٱلْبَتَّةَ، لِأَنَّ ٱلْمُرْتَابَ يُشْبِهُ مَوْجًا مِنَ ٱلْبَحْرِ تَخْبِطُهُ ٱلرِّيحُ وَتَدْفَعُهُ. ٦ 6
But let him ask in faith, nothing doubting; for he that doubteth is like a wave of the sea driven by the wind and tossed.
فَلَا يَظُنَّ ذَلِكَ ٱلْإِنْسَانُ أَنَّهُ يَنَالُ شَيْئًا مِنْ عِنْدِ ٱلرَّبِّ. ٧ 7
For let not that man think that he shall receive anything from the Lord,
رَجُلٌ ذُو رَأْيَيْنِ هُوَ مُتَقَلْقِلٌ فِي جَمِيعِ طُرُقِهِ. ٨ 8
a double-minded man as he is, unstable in all his ways.
وَلْيَفْتَخِرِ ٱلْأَخُ ٱلْمُتَّضِعُ بِٱرْتِفَاعِهِ، ٩ 9
Let the brother of low degree glory in that he is exalted;
وَأَمَّا ٱلْغَنِيُّ فَبِٱتِّضَاعِهِ، لِأَنَّهُ كَزَهْرِ ٱلْعُشْبِ يَزُولُ. ١٠ 10
but the rich, in that he is made low; because as the flower of the grass he will pass away.
لِأَنَّ ٱلشَّمْسَ أَشْرَقَتْ بِٱلْحَرِّ، فَيَبَّسَتِ ٱلْعُشْبَ، فَسَقَطَ زَهْرُهُ وَفَنِيَ جَمَالُ مَنْظَرِهِ. هَكَذَا يَذْبُلُ ٱلْغَنِيُّ أَيْضًا فِي طُرُقِهِ. ١١ 11
For the sun rose with its burning heat, and withered the grass, and its flower fell off, and the beauty of its appearance perished; so also will the rich man fade away in his ways.
طُوبَى لِلرَّجُلِ ٱلَّذِي يَحْتَمِلُ ٱلتَّجْرِبَةَ، لِأَنَّهُ إِذَا تَزَكَّى يَنَالُ «إِكْلِيلَ ٱلْحَيَاةِ» ٱلَّذِي وَعَدَ بِهِ ٱلرَّبُّ لِلَّذِينَ يُحِبُّونَهُ. ١٢ 12
Blessed is the man that endureth temptation; for when he is approved, he will receive the crown of life, which He promised to them that love him.
لَا يَقُلْ أَحَدٌ إِذَا جُرِّبَ: «إِنِّي أُجَرَّبُ مِنْ قِبَلِ ٱللهِ»، لِأَنَّ ٱللهَ غَيْرُ مُجَرَّبٍ بِٱلشُّرُورِ، وَهُوَلَا يُجَرِّبُ أَحَدًا. ١٣ 13
Let no one when he is tempted, say, I am tempted by God; for God cannot be tempted with evil, and he tempteth no one.
وَلَكِنَّ كُلَّ وَاحِدٍ يُجَرَّبُ إِذَا ٱنْجَذَبَ وَٱنْخَدَعَ مِنْ شَهْوَتِهِ. ١٤ 14
But each one is tempted when by his own lust he is led away and enticed;
ثُمَّ ٱلشَّهْوَةُ إِذَا حَبِلَتْ تَلِدُ خَطِيَّةً، وَٱلْخَطِيَّةُ إِذَا كَمَلَتْ تُنْتِجُ مَوْتًا. ١٥ 15
then lust, having conceived, bringeth forth sin, and sin, when completed, bringeth forth death.
لَا تَضِلُّوا يَا إِخْوَتِي ٱلْأَحِبَّاءَ. ١٦ 16
Do not err, my beloved brethren.
كُلُّ عَطِيَّةٍ صَالِحَةٍ وَكُلُّ مَوْهِبَةٍ تَامَّةٍ هِيَ مِنْ فَوْقُ، نَازِلَةٌ مِنْ عِنْدِ أَبِي ٱلْأَنْوَارِ، ٱلَّذِي لَيْسَ عِنْدَهُ تَغْيِيرٌ وَلَا ظِلُّ دَوَرَانٍ. ١٧ 17
Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the lights, with whom is no change, nor shadow from turning.
شَاءَ فَوَلَدَنَا بِكَلِمَةِ ٱلْحَقِّ لِكَيْ نَكُونَ بَاكُورَةً مِنْ خَلَائِقِهِ. ١٨ 18
Of his own will he begot us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of first-fruits of his creatures.
إِذًا يَا إِخْوَتِي ٱلْأَحِبَّاءَ، لِيَكُنْ كُلُّ إِنْسَانٍ مُسْرِعًا فِي ٱلِٱسْتِمَاعِ، مُبْطِئًا فِي ٱلتَّكَلُّمِ، مُبْطِئًا فِي ٱلْغَضَبِ، ١٩ 19
Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath.
لِأَنَّ غَضَبَ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ لَا يَصْنَعُ بِرَّ ٱللهِ. ٢٠ 20
For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God.
لِذَلِكَ ٱطْرَحُوا كُلَّ نَجَاسَةٍ وَكَثْرَةَ شَرٍّ، فَٱقْبَلُوا بِوَدَاعَةٍ ٱلْكَلِمَةَ ٱلْمَغْرُوسَةَ ٱلْقَادِرَةَ أَنْ تُخَلِّصَ نُفُوسَكُمْ. ٢١ 21
Wherefore put off all filthiness, and excess of wickedness, and receive with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls.
وَلَكِنْ كُونُوا عَامِلِينَ بِٱلْكَلِمَةِ، لَا سَامِعِينَ فَقَطْ خَادِعِينَ نُفُوسَكُمْ. ٢٢ 22
But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.
لِأَنَّهُ إِنْ كَانَ أَحَدٌ سَامِعًا لِلْكَلِمَةِ وَلَيْسَ عَامِلًا، فَذَاكَ يُشْبِهُ رَجُلًا نَاظِرًا وَجْهَ خِلْقَتِهِ فِي مِرْآةٍ، ٢٣ 23
For if any one is a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like a man beholding his natural face in a glass;
فَإِنَّهُ نَظَرَ ذَاتَهُ وَمَضَى، وَلِلْوَقْتِ نَسِيَ مَا هُوَ. ٢٤ 24
for he beholds himself, and goes away, and immediately forgets what manner of man he was.
وَلَكِنْ مَنِ ٱطَّلَعَ عَلَى ٱلنَّامُوسِ ٱلْكَامِلِ - نَامُوسِ ٱلْحُرِّيَّةِ - وَثَبَتَ، وَصَارَ لَيْسَ سَامِعًا نَاسِيًا بَلْ عَامِلًا بِٱلْكَلِمَةِ، فَهَذَا يَكُونُ مَغْبُوطًا فِي عَمَلِهِ. ٢٥ 25
But he who looks into the perfect law of liberty, and remains there, being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man will be blessed in his deed.
إِنْ كَانَ أَحَدٌ فِيكُمْ يَظُنُّ أَنَّهُ دَيِّنٌ، وَهُوَ لَيْسَ يُلْجِمُ لِسَانَهُ، بَلْ يَخْدَعُ قَلْبَهُ، فَدِيَانَةُ هَذَا بَاطِلَةٌ. ٢٦ 26
If any one thinks that he is religious, and bridles not his tongue, but deceives his own heart, this man's religion is vain.
اَلدِّيَانَةُ ٱلطَّاهِرَةُ ٱلنَّقِيَّةُ عِنْدَ ٱللهِ ٱلْآبِ هِيَ هَذِهِ: ٱفْتِقَادُ ٱلْيَتَامَى وَٱلْأَرَامِلِ فِي ضِيقَتِهِمْ، وَحِفْظُ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ نَفْسَهُ بِلَا دَنَسٍ مِنَ ٱلْعَالَمِ. ٢٧ 27
Pure religion and undefiled before God, the Father, is this, to visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep one's self unspotted from the world.
