< يَعقُوب 3 >

لَا تَكُونُوا مُعَلِّمِينَ كَثِيرِينَ يَا إِخْوَتِي، عَالِمِينَ أَنَّنَا نَأْخُذُ دَيْنُونَةً أَعْظَمَ! ١ 1
My brethren, be not many masters, knowing that we shall receive the greater condemnation.
لِأَنَّنَا فِي أَشْيَاءَ كَثِيرَةٍ نَعْثُرُ جَمِيعُنَا. إِنْ كَانَ أَحَدٌ لَا يَعْثُرُ فِي ٱلْكَلَامِ فَذَاكَ رَجُلٌ كَامِلٌ، قَادِرٌ أَنْ يُلْجِمَ كُلَّ ٱلْجَسَدِ أَيْضًا. ٢ 2
For in many things we offend all. If any man offend not in word, (logos) the same is a perfect man, and able also to bridle the whole body.
هُوَذَا ٱلْخَيْلُ، نَضَعُ ٱللُّجُمَ فِي أَفْوَاهِهَا لِكَيْ تُطَاوِعَنَا، فَنُدِيرَ جِسْمَهَا كُلَّهُ. ٣ 3
Behold, we put bits in the horses' mouths, that they may obey us; and we turn about their whole body.
هُوَذَا ٱلسُّفُنُ أَيْضًا، وَهِيَ عَظِيمَةٌ بِهَذَا ٱلْمِقْدَارِ، وَتَسُوقُهَا رِيَاحٌ عَاصِفَةٌ، تُدِيرُهَا دَفَّةٌ صَغِيرَةٌ جِدًّا إِلَى حَيْثُمَا شَاءَ قَصْدُ ٱلْمُدِيرِ. ٤ 4
Behold also the ships, which though they be so great, and are driven of fierce winds, yet are they turned about with a very small helm, anywhere the governor decides.
هَكَذَا ٱللِّسَانُ أَيْضًا، هُوَ عُضْوٌ صَغِيرٌ وَيَفْتَخِرُ مُتَعَظِّمًا. هُوَذَا نَارٌ قَلِيلَةٌ، أَيَّ وُقُودٍ تُحْرِقُ! ٥ 5
Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasts great things. Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindles!
فَٱللِّسَانُ نَارٌ! عَالَمُ ٱلْإِثْمِ. هَكَذَا جُعِلَ فِي أَعْضَائِنَا ٱللِّسَانُ، ٱلَّذِي يُدَنِّسُ ٱلْجِسْمَ كُلَّهُ، وَيُضْرِمُ دَائِرَةَ ٱلْكَوْنِ، وَيُضْرَمُ مِنْ جَهَنَّمَ. (Geenna g1067) ٦ 6
And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among our members, that it defiles the whole body, and sets on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire of hell. (Geenna g1067)
لِأَنَّ كُلَّ طَبْعٍ لِلْوُحُوشِ وَٱلطُّيُورِ وَٱلزَّحَّافَاتِ وَٱلْبَحْرِيَّاتِ يُذَلَّلُ، وَقَدْ تَذَلَّلَ لِلطَّبْعِ ٱلْبَشَرِيِّ. ٧ 7
For every kind of beasts, and of birds, and of serpents, and of things in the sea, is tamed, and has been tamed of mankind:
وَأَمَّا ٱللِّسَانُ، فَلَا يَسْتَطِيعُ أَحَدٌ مِنَ ٱلنَّاسِ أَنْ يُذَلِّلَهُ. هُوَ شَرٌّ لَا يُضْبَطُ، مَمْلُوٌّ سُمًّا مُمِيتًا. ٨ 8
But the tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison.
بِهِ نُبَارِكُ ٱللهَ ٱلْآبَ، وَبِهِ نَلْعَنُ ٱلنَّاسَ ٱلَّذِينَ قَدْ تَكَوَّنُوا عَلَى شِبْهِ ٱللهِ. ٩ 9
Therewith bless we God, even the Father; and therewith curse we men, which are made after the embodiment of God.
مِنَ ٱلْفَمِ ٱلْوَاحِدِ تَخْرُجُ بَرَكَةٌ وَلَعْنَةٌ! لَا يَصْلُحُ يَا إِخْوَتِي أَنْ تَكُونَ هَذِهِ ٱلْأُمُورُ هَكَذَا! ١٠ 10
Out of the same mouth proceeds blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be.
أَلَعَلَّ يَنْبُوعًا يُنْبِعُ مِنْ نَفْسِ عَيْنٍ وَاحِدَةٍ ٱلْعَذْبَ وَٱلْمُرَّ؟ ١١ 11
Does a fountain send forth at the same place sweet water and bitter?
هَلْ تَقْدِرُ يَا إِخْوَتِي تِينَةٌ أَنْ تَصْنَعَ زَيْتُونًا، أَوْ كَرْمَةٌ تِينًا؟ وَلَا كَذَلِكَ يَنْبُوعٌ يَصْنَعُ مَاءً مَالِحًا وَعَذْبًا! ١٢ 12
Can the fig tree, my brethren, bear olive berries? either a vine, figs? so can no fountain both yield salt water and fresh.
مَنْ هُوَ حَكِيمٌ وَعَالِمٌ بَيْنَكُمْ، فَلْيُرِ أَعْمَالَهُ بِٱلتَّصَرُّفِ ٱلْحَسَنِ فِي وَدَاعَةِ ٱلْحِكْمَةِ. ١٣ 13
Who is a wise man and imbued with knowledge among you? let him show out of a good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom.
وَلَكِنْ إِنْ كَانَ لَكُمْ غَيْرَةٌ مُرَّةٌ وَتَحَزُّبٌ فِي قُلُوبِكُمْ، فَلَا تَفْتَخِرُوا وَتَكْذِبُوا عَلَى ٱلْحَقِّ. ١٤ 14
But if all of you have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth.
لَيْسَتْ هَذِهِ ٱلْحِكْمَةُ نَازِلَةً مِنْ فَوْقُ، بَلْ هِيَ أَرْضِيَّةٌ نَفْسَانِيَّةٌ شَيْطَانِيَّةٌ. ١٥ 15
This wisdom descends not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish.
لِأَنَّهُ حَيْثُ ٱلْغَيْرَةُ وَٱلتَّحَزُّبُ، هُنَاكَ ٱلتَّشْوِيشُ وَكُلُّ أَمْرٍ رَدِيءٍ. ١٦ 16
For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work.
وَأَمَّا ٱلْحِكْمَةُ ٱلَّتِي مِنْ فَوْقُ فَهِيَ أَوَّلًا طَاهِرَةٌ، ثُمَّ مُسَالِمَةٌ، مُتَرَفِّقَةٌ، مُذْعِنَةٌ، مَمْلُوَّةٌ رَحْمَةً وَأَثْمَارًا صَالِحَةً، عَدِيمَةُ ٱلرَّيْبِ وَٱلرِّيَاءِ. ١٧ 17
But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be implored, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.
وَثَمَرُ ٱلْبِرِّ يُزْرَعُ فِي ٱلسَّلَامِ مِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ يَفْعَلُونَ ٱلسَّلَامَ. ١٨ 18
And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace.
