< 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 who are scattered abroad: Greetings.
اِحْسِبُوهُ كُلَّ فَرَحٍ يَا إِخْوَتِي حِينَمَا تَقَعُونَ فِي تَجَارِبَ مُتَنَوِّعَةٍ، ٢ 2
Count it all joy, my brothers, when you experience various trials,
عَالِمِينَ أَنَّ ٱمْتِحَانَ إِيمَانِكُمْ يُنْشِئُ صَبْرًا. ٣ 3
because you know that the testing of your faith produces endurance.
وَأَمَّا ٱلصَّبْرُ فَلْيَكُنْ لَهُ عَمَلٌ تَامٌّ، لِكَيْ تَكُونُوا تَامِّينَ وَكَامِلِينَ غَيْرَ نَاقِصِينَ فِي شَيْءٍ. ٤ 4
And let endurance have its full effect, so that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.
وَإِنَّمَا إِنْ كَانَ أَحَدُكُمْ تُعْوِزُهُ حِكْمَةٌ، فَلْيَطْلُبْ مِنَ ٱللهِ ٱلَّذِي يُعْطِي ٱلْجَمِيعَ بِسَخَاءٍ وَلَا يُعَيِّرُ، فَسَيُعْطَى لَهُ. ٥ 5
If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given to him.
وَلَكِنْ لِيَطْلُبْ بِإِيمَانٍ غَيْرَ مُرْتَابٍ ٱلْبَتَّةَ، لِأَنَّ ٱلْمُرْتَابَ يُشْبِهُ مَوْجًا مِنَ ٱلْبَحْرِ تَخْبِطُهُ ٱلرِّيحُ وَتَدْفَعُهُ. ٦ 6
But he must ask in faith without doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, driven by the wind and tossed about.
فَلَا يَظُنَّ ذَلِكَ ٱلْإِنْسَانُ أَنَّهُ يَنَالُ شَيْئًا مِنْ عِنْدِ ٱلرَّبِّ. ٧ 7
That person should not expect to receive anything from the Lord.
رَجُلٌ ذُو رَأْيَيْنِ هُوَ مُتَقَلْقِلٌ فِي جَمِيعِ طُرُقِهِ. ٨ 8
A double-minded man is unstable in all his ways.
وَلْيَفْتَخِرِ ٱلْأَخُ ٱلْمُتَّضِعُ بِٱرْتِفَاعِهِ، ٩ 9
The lowly brother should rejoice in being exalted,
وَأَمَّا ٱلْغَنِيُّ فَبِٱتِّضَاعِهِ، لِأَنَّهُ كَزَهْرِ ٱلْعُشْبِ يَزُولُ. ١٠ 10
and the rich man should rejoice in being made low, because he will pass away like a flower of grass.
لِأَنَّ ٱلشَّمْسَ أَشْرَقَتْ بِٱلْحَرِّ، فَيَبَّسَتِ ٱلْعُشْبَ، فَسَقَطَ زَهْرُهُ وَفَنِيَ جَمَالُ مَنْظَرِهِ. هَكَذَا يَذْبُلُ ٱلْغَنِيُّ أَيْضًا فِي طُرُقِهِ. ١١ 11
For the sun rises with its scorching heat and withers the grass, and its flower falls, and the beauty of its appearance perishes. So also will the rich man fade away in his pursuits.
طُوبَى لِلرَّجُلِ ٱلَّذِي يَحْتَمِلُ ٱلتَّجْرِبَةَ، لِأَنَّهُ إِذَا تَزَكَّى يَنَالُ «إِكْلِيلَ ٱلْحَيَاةِ» ٱلَّذِي وَعَدَ بِهِ ٱلرَّبُّ لِلَّذِينَ يُحِبُّونَهُ. ١٢ 12
Blessed is the man who endures temptation, for when he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life, which the Lord has promised to those who love him.
لَا يَقُلْ أَحَدٌ إِذَا جُرِّبَ: «إِنِّي أُجَرَّبُ مِنْ قِبَلِ ٱللهِ»، لِأَنَّ ٱللهَ غَيْرُ مُجَرَّبٍ بِٱلشُّرُورِ، وَهُوَلَا يُجَرِّبُ أَحَدًا. ١٣ 13
No one should say when he is tempted, “I am being tempted by God,” for God is not tempted by evil, and he himself tempts no one.
وَلَكِنَّ كُلَّ وَاحِدٍ يُجَرَّبُ إِذَا ٱنْجَذَبَ وَٱنْخَدَعَ مِنْ شَهْوَتِهِ. ١٤ 14
But each person is tempted when he is drawn away and enticed by his own evil desires.
ثُمَّ ٱلشَّهْوَةُ إِذَا حَبِلَتْ تَلِدُ خَطِيَّةً، وَٱلْخَطِيَّةُ إِذَا كَمَلَتْ تُنْتِجُ مَوْتًا. ١٥ 15
And when desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin. And when sin is fully grown, it brings forth death.
لَا تَضِلُّوا يَا إِخْوَتِي ٱلْأَحِبَّاءَ. ١٦ 16
Do not be deceived, my beloved brothers.
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 and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning.
شَاءَ فَوَلَدَنَا بِكَلِمَةِ ٱلْحَقِّ لِكَيْ نَكُونَ بَاكُورَةً مِنْ خَلَائِقِهِ. ١٨ 18
Of his own will he gave us birth by the word of truth so that we would 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
So then, my beloved brothers, everyone should be swift to hear, slow to speak, and slow to anger.
لِأَنَّ غَضَبَ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ لَا يَصْنَعُ بِرَّ ٱللهِ. ٢٠ 20
For the anger of man does not produce the righteousness of God.
لِذَلِكَ ٱطْرَحُوا كُلَّ نَجَاسَةٍ وَكَثْرَةَ شَرٍّ، فَٱقْبَلُوا بِوَدَاعَةٍ ٱلْكَلِمَةَ ٱلْمَغْرُوسَةَ ٱلْقَادِرَةَ أَنْ تُخَلِّصَ نُفُوسَكُمْ. ٢١ 21
Therefore, putting aside all filthiness and rampant wickedness, humbly receive the implanted word, which is able to save your souls.
وَلَكِنْ كُونُوا عَامِلِينَ بِٱلْكَلِمَةِ، لَا سَامِعِينَ فَقَطْ خَادِعِينَ نُفُوسَكُمْ. ٢٢ 22
But be doers of the word and not hearers only. Otherwise, you are deceiving yourselves.
لِأَنَّهُ إِنْ كَانَ أَحَدٌ سَامِعًا لِلْكَلِمَةِ وَلَيْسَ عَامِلًا، فَذَاكَ يُشْبِهُ رَجُلًا نَاظِرًا وَجْهَ خِلْقَتِهِ فِي مِرْآةٍ، ٢٣ 23
For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man who looks at his face in a mirror.
فَإِنَّهُ نَظَرَ ذَاتَهُ وَمَضَى، وَلِلْوَقْتِ نَسِيَ مَا هُوَ. ٢٤ 24
For he looks at himself and goes away, and then immediately forgets what he looks like.
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 who looks into the perfect law, the law of liberty, and abides by it, is not a forgetful hearer but a doer who acts. He will be blessed in what he does.
إِنْ كَانَ أَحَدٌ فِيكُمْ يَظُنُّ أَنَّهُ دَيِّنٌ، وَهُوَ لَيْسَ يُلْجِمُ لِسَانَهُ، بَلْ يَخْدَعُ قَلْبَهُ، فَدِيَانَةُ هَذَا بَاطِلَةٌ. ٢٦ 26
If anyone among you considers himself to be religious but does not bridle his tongue, he deceives himself and his religion is worthless.
اَلدِّيَانَةُ ٱلطَّاهِرَةُ ٱلنَّقِيَّةُ عِنْدَ ٱللهِ ٱلْآبِ هِيَ هَذِهِ: ٱفْتِقَادُ ٱلْيَتَامَى وَٱلْأَرَامِلِ فِي ضِيقَتِهِمْ، وَحِفْظُ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ نَفْسَهُ بِلَا دَنَسٍ مِنَ ٱلْعَالَمِ. ٢٧ 27
Pure and undefiled religion before God our Father is this: to look after orphans and widows in their affliction and to keep oneself unstained by the world.
