يَعقُوب 2
| يَا إِخْوَتِي، لَا يَكُنْ لَكُمْ إِيمَانُ رَبِّنَا يَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ، رَبِّ ٱلْمَجْدِ، فِي ٱلْمُحَابَاةِ. | ١ 1 |
My brethren, have not the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory, with respect of persons.
| فَإِنَّهُ إِنْ دَخَلَ إِلَى مَجْمَعِكُمْ رَجُلٌ بِخَوَاتِمِ ذَهَبٍ فِي لِبَاسٍ بَهِيٍّ، وَدَخَلَ أَيْضًا فَقِيرٌ بِلِبَاسٍ وَسِخٍ، | ٢ 2 |
For if there come unto your assembly a man with a gold ring, in goodly apparel, and there come in also a poor man in vile raiment;
| فَنَظَرْتُمْ إِلَى ٱللَّابِسِ ٱللِّبَاسَ ٱلْبَهِيَّ وَقُلْتُمْ لَهُ: «ٱجْلِسْ أَنْتَ هُنَا حَسَنًا». وَقُلْتُمْ لِلْفَقِيرِ: «قِفْ أَنْتَ هُنَاكَ» أَوِ: «ٱجْلِسْ هُنَا تَحْتَ مَوْطِىءِ قَدَمَيَّ». | ٣ 3 |
And all of you have respect to him that wears the cheerful clothing, and say unto him, Sit you here in a good place; and say to the poor, Stand you there, or sit here under my footstool:
| فَهَلْ لَا تَرْتَابُونَ فِي أَنْفُسِكُمْ، وَتَصِيرُونَ قُضَاةَ أَفْكَارٍ شِرِّيرَةٍ؟ | ٤ 4 |
Are all of you not then partial in yourselves, and are become judges of evil thoughts?
| ٱسْمَعُوا يَا إِخْوَتِي ٱلْأَحِبَّاءَ: أَمَا ٱخْتَارَ ٱللهُ فُقَرَاءَ هَذَا ٱلْعَالَمِ أَغْنِيَاءَ فِي ٱلْإِيمَانِ، وَوَرَثَةَ ٱلْمَلَكُوتِ ٱلَّذِي وَعَدَ بِهِ ٱلَّذِينَ يُحِبُّونَهُ؟ | ٥ 5 |
Hearken, my beloved brethren, Has not God chosen the poor of this world rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he has promised to them that love him?
| وَأَمَّا أَنْتُمْ فَأَهَنْتُمُ ٱلْفَقِيرَ. أَلَيْسَ ٱلْأَغْنِيَاءُ يَتَسَلَّطُونَ عَلَيْكُمْ وَهُمْ يَجُرُّونَكُمْ إِلَى ٱلْمَحَاكِمِ؟ | ٦ 6 |
But all of you have despised the poor. Do not rich men oppress you, and draw you before the judgment seats?
| أَمَا هُمْ يُجَدِّفُونَ عَلَى ٱلِٱسْمِ ٱلْحَسَنِ ٱلَّذِي دُعِيَ بِهِ عَلَيْكُمْ؟ | ٧ 7 |
Do not they blaspheme that worthy name by the which all of you are called?
| فَإِنْ كُنْتُمْ تُكَمِّلُونَ ٱلنَّامُوسَ ٱلْمُلُوكِيَّ حَسَبَ ٱلْكِتَابِ: «تُحِبُّ قَرِيبَكَ كَنَفْسِكَ»، فَحَسَنًا تَفْعَلُونَ. | ٨ 8 |
If all of you fulfill the royal law according to the scripture, You shall love your neighbour as yourself, all of you do well:
| وَلَكِنْ إِنْ كُنْتُمْ تُحَابُونَ، تَفْعَلُونَ خَطِيَّةً، مُوَبَّخِينَ مِنَ ٱلنَّامُوسِ كَمُتَعَدِّينَ. | ٩ 9 |
But if all of you have respect to persons, all of you commit sin, and are convinced of the law as transgressors.
| لِأَنَّ مَنْ حَفِظَ كُلَّ ٱلنَّامُوسِ، وَإِنَّمَا عَثَرَ فِي وَاحِدَةٍ، فَقَدْ صَارَ مُجْرِمًا فِي ٱلْكُلِّ. | ١٠ 10 |
For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all.
| لِأَنَّ ٱلَّذِي قَالَ: «لَا تَزْنِ»، قَالَ أَيْضًا: «لَا تَقْتُلْ». فَإِنْ لَمْ تَزْنِ وَلَكِنْ قَتَلْتَ، فَقَدْ صِرْتَ مُتَعَدِّيًا ٱلنَّامُوسَ. | ١١ 11 |
For he that said, Do not commit adultery, said also, Do not kill. Now if you commit no adultery, yet if you kill, you are become a transgressor of the law.
| هَكَذَا تَكَلَّمُوا وَهَكَذَا ٱفْعَلُوا كَعَتِيدِينَ أَنْ تُحَاكَمُوا بِنَامُوسِ ٱلْحُرِّيَّةِ. | ١٢ 12 |
So speak all of you, and so do, as they that shall be judged by the law of liberty.
| لِأَنَّ ٱلْحُكْمَ هُوَ بِلَا رَحْمَةٍ لِمَنْ لَمْ يَعْمَلْ رَحْمَةً، وَٱلرَّحْمَةُ تَفْتَخِرُ عَلَى ٱلْحُكْمِ. | ١٣ 13 |
For he shall have judgment without mercy, that has showed no mercy; and mercy rejoices against judgment.
| مَا ٱلْمَنْفَعَةُ يَا إِخْوَتِي إِنْ قَالَ أَحَدٌ إِنَّ لَهُ إِيمَانًا وَلَكِنْ لَيْسَ لَهُ أَعْمَالٌ، هَلْ يَقْدِرُ ٱلْإِيمَانُ أَنْ يُخَلِّصَهُ؟ | ١٤ 14 |
What does it profit, my brethren, though a man say he has faith, and have not works? can faith save him?
| إِنْ كَانَ أَخٌ وَأُخْتٌ عُرْيَانَيْنِ وَمُعْتَازَيْنِ لِلْقُوتِ ٱلْيَوْمِيِّ، | ١٥ 15 |
If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food,
| فَقَالَ لَهُمَا أَحَدُكُمُ: «ٱمْضِيَا بِسَلَامٍ، ٱسْتَدْفِئَا وَٱشْبَعَا»، وَلَكِنْ لَمْ تُعْطُوهُمَا حَاجَاتِ ٱلْجَسَدِ، فَمَا ٱلْمَنْفَعَةُ؟ | ١٦ 16 |
And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be all of you warmed and filled; notwithstanding all of you give them not those things which are necessary to the body; what does it profit?
| هَكَذَا ٱلْإِيمَانُ أَيْضًا، إِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ أَعْمَالٌ، مَيِّتٌ فِي ذَاتِهِ. | ١٧ 17 |
Even so faith, if it has not works, is dead, being alone.
| لَكِنْ يَقُولُ قَائِلٌ: «أَنْتَ لَكَ إِيمَانٌ، وَأَنَا لِي أَعْمَالٌ. أَرِنِي إِيمَانَكَ بِدُونِ أَعْمَالِكَ، وَأَنَا أُرِيكَ بِأَعْمَالِي إِيمَانِي». | ١٨ 18 |
Yea, a man may say, You have faith, and I have works: show me your faith without your works, and I will show you my faith by my works.
| أَنْتَ تُؤْمِنُ أَنَّ ٱللهَ وَاحِدٌ. حَسَنًا تَفْعَلُ. وَٱلشَّيَاطِينُ يُؤْمِنُونَ وَيَقْشَعِرُّونَ! | ١٩ 19 |
You believe that there is one God; you do well: the devils also believe, and tremble.
| وَلَكِنْ هَلْ تُرِيدُ أَنْ تَعْلَمَ أَيُّهَا ٱلْإِنْسَانُ ٱلْبَاطِلُ أَنَّ ٱلْإِيمَانَ بِدُونِ أَعْمَالٍ مَيِّتٌ؟ | ٢٠ 20 |
But will you know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?
| أَلَمْ يَتَبَرَّرْ إِبْرَاهِيمُ أَبُونَا بِٱلْأَعْمَالِ، إِذْ قَدَّمَ إِسْحَاقَ ٱبْنَهُ عَلَى ٱلْمَذْبَحِ؟ | ٢١ 21 |
Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar?
| فَتَرَى أَنَّ ٱلْإِيمَانَ عَمِلَ مَعَ أَعْمَالِهِ، وَبِٱلْأَعْمَالِ أُكْمِلَ ٱلْإِيمَانُ، | ٢٢ 22 |
See you how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect?
| وَتَمَّ ٱلْكِتَابُ ٱلْقَائِلُ: «فَآمَنَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ بِٱللهِ فَحُسِبَ لَهُ بِرًّا»، وَدُعِيَ خَلِيلَ ٱللهِ. | ٢٣ 23 |
And the scripture was fulfilled which says, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God.
| تَرَوْنَ إِذًا أَنَّهُ بِٱلْأَعْمَالِ يَتَبَرَّرُ ٱلْإِنْسَانُ، لَابِٱلْإِيمَانِ وَحْدَهُ. | ٢٤ 24 |
All of you see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.
| كَذَلِكَ رَاحَابُ ٱلزَّانِيَةُ أَيْضًا، أَمَا تَبَرَّرَتْ بِٱلْأَعْمَالِ، إِذْ قَبِلَتِ ٱلرُّسُلَ وَأَخْرَجَتْهُمْ فِي طَرِيقٍ آخَرَ؟ | ٢٥ 25 |
Likewise also was not Rahab the harlot justified by works, when she had received the messengers, and had sent them out another way?
| لِأَنَّهُ كَمَا أَنَّ ٱلْجَسَدَ بِدُونَ رُوحٍ مَيِّتٌ، هَكَذَا ٱلْإِيمَانُ أَيْضًا بِدُونِ أَعْمَالٍ مَيِّتٌ. | ٢٦ 26 |
For as the body without the spirit (pneuma) is dead, so faith without works is dead also.
