< يَعقُوب 3 >

لَا تَكُونُوا مُعَلِّمِينَ كَثِيرِينَ يَا إِخْوَتِي، عَالِمِينَ أَنَّنَا نَأْخُذُ دَيْنُونَةً أَعْظَمَ! ١ 1
My brethren, be not many teachers, knowing that we shall receive the greater judgment.
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 all offend. If any man stumble not in word, the same is a perfect man, 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 are so great, and are driven by fierce winds, yet they are turned about with a very small helm, wherever the pilot willeth.
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 boasteth great things. Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindleth!
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 defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire from 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 creatures in the sea, is tamed, and hath been tamed by 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
With it we bless God, even the Father; and with it we curse men, who are made after the similitude of God.
مِنَ ٱلْفَمِ ٱلْوَاحِدِ تَخْرُجُ بَرَكَةٌ وَلَعْنَةٌ! لَا يَصْلُحُ يَا إِخْوَتِي أَنْ تَكُونَ هَذِهِ ٱلْأُمُورُ هَكَذَا! ١٠ 10
Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be.
أَلَعَلَّ يَنْبُوعًا يُنْبِعُ مِنْ نَفْسِ عَيْنٍ وَاحِدَةٍ ٱلْعَذْبَ وَٱلْمُرَّ؟ ١١ 11
Doth 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? or a vine, figs? so no fountain can yield both salt water and fresh.
مَنْ هُوَ حَكِيمٌ وَعَالِمٌ بَيْنَكُمْ، فَلْيُرِ أَعْمَالَهُ بِٱلتَّصَرُّفِ ٱلْحَسَنِ فِي وَدَاعَةِ ٱلْحِكْمَةِ. ١٣ 13
Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? let him show by a good behaviour his works with meekness of wisdom.
وَلَكِنْ إِنْ كَانَ لَكُمْ غَيْرَةٌ مُرَّةٌ وَتَحَزُّبٌ فِي قُلُوبِكُمْ، فَلَا تَفْتَخِرُوا وَتَكْذِبُوا عَلَى ٱلْحَقِّ. ١٤ 14
But if ye 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 descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, demonic.
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 reasonable, 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 by them that make peace.
