يَعقُوب 2
| يَا إِخْوَتِي، لَا يَكُنْ لَكُمْ إِيمَانُ رَبِّنَا يَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ، رَبِّ ٱلْمَجْدِ، فِي ٱلْمُحَابَاةِ. | ١ 1 |
My brothers, do not hold the faith of our Lord Yeshua Meshikha of glory with partiality.
| فَإِنَّهُ إِنْ دَخَلَ إِلَى مَجْمَعِكُمْ رَجُلٌ بِخَوَاتِمِ ذَهَبٍ فِي لِبَاسٍ بَهِيٍّ، وَدَخَلَ أَيْضًا فَقِيرٌ بِلِبَاسٍ وَسِخٍ، | ٢ 2 |
For if someone with a gold ring, in fine clothing, comes into your synagogue, and a poor person in filthy clothing also comes in;
| 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 you pay special attention to the one who wears the fine clothing, and say, "Sit here in a good place;" but you tell the poor person, "Stand there," or "Sit by my footstool."
| فَهَلْ لَا تَرْتَابُونَ فِي أَنْفُسِكُمْ، وَتَصِيرُونَ قُضَاةَ أَفْكَارٍ شِرِّيرَةٍ؟ | ٤ 4 |
Have you not discriminated among yourselves, and become judges with evil thoughts?
| ٱسْمَعُوا يَا إِخْوَتِي ٱلْأَحِبَّاءَ: أَمَا ٱخْتَارَ ٱللهُ فُقَرَاءَ هَذَا ٱلْعَالَمِ أَغْنِيَاءَ فِي ٱلْإِيمَانِ، وَوَرَثَةَ ٱلْمَلَكُوتِ ٱلَّذِي وَعَدَ بِهِ ٱلَّذِينَ يُحِبُّونَهُ؟ | ٥ 5 |
Listen, my beloved brothers. Did not God choose those who are poor in this world to be rich in faith, and heirs of the Kingdom which he promised to those who love him?
| وَأَمَّا أَنْتُمْ فَأَهَنْتُمُ ٱلْفَقِيرَ. أَلَيْسَ ٱلْأَغْنِيَاءُ يَتَسَلَّطُونَ عَلَيْكُمْ وَهُمْ يَجُرُّونَكُمْ إِلَى ٱلْمَحَاكِمِ؟ | ٦ 6 |
But you have dishonored the poor person. Do not the rich oppress you, and personally drag you before the courts?
| أَمَا هُمْ يُجَدِّفُونَ عَلَى ٱلِٱسْمِ ٱلْحَسَنِ ٱلَّذِي دُعِيَ بِهِ عَلَيْكُمْ؟ | ٧ 7 |
Do not they blaspheme the honorable name by which you are called?
| فَإِنْ كُنْتُمْ تُكَمِّلُونَ ٱلنَّامُوسَ ٱلْمُلُوكِيَّ حَسَبَ ٱلْكِتَابِ: «تُحِبُّ قَرِيبَكَ كَنَفْسِكَ»، فَحَسَنًا تَفْعَلُونَ. | ٨ 8 |
However, if you fulfill the royal law, according to the Scripture, "You are to love your neighbor as yourself," you do well.
| وَلَكِنْ إِنْ كُنْتُمْ تُحَابُونَ، تَفْعَلُونَ خَطِيَّةً، مُوَبَّخِينَ مِنَ ٱلنَّامُوسِ كَمُتَعَدِّينَ. | ٩ 9 |
But if you show partiality, you commit sin, being convicted by the law as transgressors.
| لِأَنَّ مَنْ حَفِظَ كُلَّ ٱلنَّامُوسِ، وَإِنَّمَا عَثَرَ فِي وَاحِدَةٍ، فَقَدْ صَارَ مُجْرِمًا فِي ٱلْكُلِّ. | ١٠ 10 |
For whoever keeps the whole law, and yet stumbles in one point, he has become 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 who said, "Do not commit adultery," also said, "Do not commit murder." Now if you do not commit adultery, but murder, you have become a transgressor of the law.
| هَكَذَا تَكَلَّمُوا وَهَكَذَا ٱفْعَلُوا كَعَتِيدِينَ أَنْ تُحَاكَمُوا بِنَامُوسِ ٱلْحُرِّيَّةِ. | ١٢ 12 |
So speak, and so do, as those who are to be judged by a law of freedom.
| لِأَنَّ ٱلْحُكْمَ هُوَ بِلَا رَحْمَةٍ لِمَنْ لَمْ يَعْمَلْ رَحْمَةً، وَٱلرَّحْمَةُ تَفْتَخِرُ عَلَى ٱلْحُكْمِ. | ١٣ 13 |
For judgment is without mercy to him who has shown no mercy. Mercy triumphs over judgment.
| مَا ٱلْمَنْفَعَةُ يَا إِخْوَتِي إِنْ قَالَ أَحَدٌ إِنَّ لَهُ إِيمَانًا وَلَكِنْ لَيْسَ لَهُ أَعْمَالٌ، هَلْ يَقْدِرُ ٱلْإِيمَانُ أَنْ يُخَلِّصَهُ؟ | ١٤ 14 |
What good is it, my brothers, if someone says he has faith, but has no works? Can faith save him?
| إِنْ كَانَ أَخٌ وَأُخْتٌ عُرْيَانَيْنِ وَمُعْتَازَيْنِ لِلْقُوتِ ٱلْيَوْمِيِّ، | ١٥ 15 |
And if a brother or sister is poorly clothed and may be lacking in daily food,
| فَقَالَ لَهُمَا أَحَدُكُمُ: «ٱمْضِيَا بِسَلَامٍ، ٱسْتَدْفِئَا وَٱشْبَعَا»، وَلَكِنْ لَمْ تُعْطُوهُمَا حَاجَاتِ ٱلْجَسَدِ، فَمَا ٱلْمَنْفَعَةُ؟ | ١٦ 16 |
and one of you tells them, "Go in peace, be warmed and filled;" and yet you did not give them the things the body needs, what good is it?
| هَكَذَا ٱلْإِيمَانُ أَيْضًا، إِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ أَعْمَالٌ، مَيِّتٌ فِي ذَاتِهِ. | ١٧ 17 |
Even so faith, if it has no works, is dead in itself.
| لَكِنْ يَقُولُ قَائِلٌ: «أَنْتَ لَكَ إِيمَانٌ، وَأَنَا لِي أَعْمَالٌ. أَرِنِي إِيمَانَكَ بِدُونِ أَعْمَالِكَ، وَأَنَا أُرِيكَ بِأَعْمَالِي إِيمَانِي». | ١٨ 18 |
But someone will say, "You have faith, and I have works." Show me your faith without works, and I by my works will show you my faith.
| أَنْتَ تُؤْمِنُ أَنَّ ٱللهَ وَاحِدٌ. حَسَنًا تَفْعَلُ. وَٱلشَّيَاطِينُ يُؤْمِنُونَ وَيَقْشَعِرُّونَ! | ١٩ 19 |
You believe that God is one. You do well. The demons also believe, and shudder.
| وَلَكِنْ هَلْ تُرِيدُ أَنْ تَعْلَمَ أَيُّهَا ٱلْإِنْسَانُ ٱلْبَاطِلُ أَنَّ ٱلْإِيمَانَ بِدُونِ أَعْمَالٍ مَيِّتٌ؟ | ٢٠ 20 |
But do you want to know, foolish person, that faith apart from works is useless?
| أَلَمْ يَتَبَرَّرْ إِبْرَاهِيمُ أَبُونَا بِٱلْأَعْمَالِ، إِذْ قَدَّمَ إِسْحَاقَ ٱبْنَهُ عَلَى ٱلْمَذْبَحِ؟ | ٢١ 21 |
Wasn't Avraham our father justified by works, in that he offered up Iskhaq his son on the altar?
| فَتَرَى أَنَّ ٱلْإِيمَانَ عَمِلَ مَعَ أَعْمَالِهِ، وَبِٱلْأَعْمَالِ أُكْمِلَ ٱلْإِيمَانُ، | ٢٢ 22 |
You see that faith worked with his works, and by works faith was perfected;
| وَتَمَّ ٱلْكِتَابُ ٱلْقَائِلُ: «فَآمَنَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ بِٱللهِ فَحُسِبَ لَهُ بِرًّا»، وَدُعِيَ خَلِيلَ ٱللهِ. | ٢٣ 23 |
and the Scripture was fulfilled which says, "And Avraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness"; and he was called the friend of God.
| تَرَوْنَ إِذًا أَنَّهُ بِٱلْأَعْمَالِ يَتَبَرَّرُ ٱلْإِنْسَانُ، لَابِٱلْإِيمَانِ وَحْدَهُ. | ٢٤ 24 |
You see that a person is justified by works and not by faith alone.
| كَذَلِكَ رَاحَابُ ٱلزَّانِيَةُ أَيْضًا، أَمَا تَبَرَّرَتْ بِٱلْأَعْمَالِ، إِذْ قَبِلَتِ ٱلرُّسُلَ وَأَخْرَجَتْهُمْ فِي طَرِيقٍ آخَرَ؟ | ٢٥ 25 |
In like manner was not Rakhav the prostitute also justified by works, in that she received the messengers, and sent them out another way?
| لِأَنَّهُ كَمَا أَنَّ ٱلْجَسَدَ بِدُونَ رُوحٍ مَيِّتٌ، هَكَذَا ٱلْإِيمَانُ أَيْضًا بِدُونِ أَعْمَالٍ مَيِّتٌ. | ٢٦ 26 |
For as the body apart from the spirit is dead, even so faith apart from works is dead.
