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 of the Dispersion, greeting.
| اِحْسِبُوهُ كُلَّ فَرَحٍ يَا إِخْوَتِي حِينَمَا تَقَعُونَ فِي تَجَارِبَ مُتَنَوِّعَةٍ، | ٢ 2 |
Count it all joy, my brethren, when ye fall into manifold temptations;
| عَالِمِينَ أَنَّ ٱمْتِحَانَ إِيمَانِكُمْ يُنْشِئُ صَبْرًا. | ٣ 3 |
Knowing that the proof of your faith worketh patience.
| وَأَمَّا ٱلصَّبْرُ فَلْيَكُنْ لَهُ عَمَلٌ تَامٌّ، لِكَيْ تَكُونُوا تَامِّينَ وَكَامِلِينَ غَيْرَ نَاقِصِينَ فِي شَيْءٍ. | ٤ 4 |
And let patience have [its] perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, lacking in nothing.
| وَإِنَّمَا إِنْ كَانَ أَحَدُكُمْ تُعْوِزُهُ حِكْمَةٌ، فَلْيَطْلُبْ مِنَ ٱللهِ ٱلَّذِي يُعْطِي ٱلْجَمِيعَ بِسَخَاءٍ وَلَا يُعَيِّرُ، فَسَيُعْطَى لَهُ. | ٥ 5 |
But if any of you lacketh wisdom, let him ask of God, who giveth to all liberally and upbraideth not; and it shall 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 the surge 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 of the Lord;
| رَجُلٌ ذُو رَأْيَيْنِ هُوَ مُتَقَلْقِلٌ فِي جَمِيعِ طُرُقِهِ. | ٨ 8 |
a doubleminded man, unstable in all his ways.
| وَلْيَفْتَخِرِ ٱلْأَخُ ٱلْمُتَّضِعُ بِٱرْتِفَاعِهِ، | ٩ 9 |
But let the brother of low degree glory in his high estate:
| وَأَمَّا ٱلْغَنِيُّ فَبِٱتِّضَاعِهِ، لِأَنَّهُ كَزَهْرِ ٱلْعُشْبِ يَزُولُ. | ١٠ 10 |
and the rich, in that he is made low: because as the flower of the grass he shall pass away.
| لِأَنَّ ٱلشَّمْسَ أَشْرَقَتْ بِٱلْحَرِّ، فَيَبَّسَتِ ٱلْعُشْبَ، فَسَقَطَ زَهْرُهُ وَفَنِيَ جَمَالُ مَنْظَرِهِ. هَكَذَا يَذْبُلُ ٱلْغَنِيُّ أَيْضًا فِي طُرُقِهِ. | ١١ 11 |
For the sun ariseth with the scorching wind, and withereth the grass; and the flower thereof falleth, and the grace of the fashion of it perisheth: so also shall the rich man fade away in his goings.
| 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 hath been approved, he shall receive the crown of life, which [the Lord] 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 man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, and he himself tempteth no man:
| وَلَكِنَّ كُلَّ وَاحِدٍ يُجَرَّبُ إِذَا ٱنْجَذَبَ وَٱنْخَدَعَ مِنْ شَهْوَتِهِ. | ١٤ 14 |
but each man is tempted, when he is drawn away by his own lust, and enticed.
| ثُمَّ ٱلشَّهْوَةُ إِذَا حَبِلَتْ تَلِدُ خَطِيَّةً، وَٱلْخَطِيَّةُ إِذَا كَمَلَتْ تُنْتِجُ مَوْتًا. | ١٥ 15 |
Then the lust, when it hath conceived, beareth sin: and the sin, when it is fullgrown, bringeth forth death.
| لَا تَضِلُّوا يَا إِخْوَتِي ٱلْأَحِبَّاءَ. | ١٦ 16 |
Be not deceived, 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 boon is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom can be no variation, neither shadow that is cast by turning.
| شَاءَ فَوَلَدَنَا بِكَلِمَةِ ٱلْحَقِّ لِكَيْ نَكُونَ بَاكُورَةً مِنْ خَلَائِقِهِ. | ١٨ 18 |
Of his own will he brought us forth by the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures.
| إِذًا يَا إِخْوَتِي ٱلْأَحِبَّاءَ، لِيَكُنْ كُلُّ إِنْسَانٍ مُسْرِعًا فِي ٱلِٱسْتِمَاعِ، مُبْطِئًا فِي ٱلتَّكَلُّمِ، مُبْطِئًا فِي ٱلْغَضَبِ، | ١٩ 19 |
Ye know [this], my beloved brethren. But 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 putting away all filthiness and overflowing of wickedness, 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 ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deluding your own selves.
| 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 unto a man beholding his natural face in a mirror:
| فَإِنَّهُ نَظَرَ ذَاتَهُ وَمَضَى، وَلِلْوَقْتِ نَسِيَ مَا هُوَ. | ٢٤ 24 |
for he beholdeth himself, and goeth away, and straightway forgetteth 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 that looketh into the perfect law, the [law] of liberty, and [so] continueth, being not a hearer that forgetteth, but a doer that worketh, this man shall be blessed in his doing.
| إِنْ كَانَ أَحَدٌ فِيكُمْ يَظُنُّ أَنَّهُ دَيِّنٌ، وَهُوَ لَيْسَ يُلْجِمُ لِسَانَهُ، بَلْ يَخْدَعُ قَلْبَهُ، فَدِيَانَةُ هَذَا بَاطِلَةٌ. | ٢٦ 26 |
If any man thinketh himself to be religious, while he bridleth not his tongue but deceiveth his 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 our God and Father is this, to visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, [and] to keep himself unspotted from the world.
