يَعقُوب 1
| مِنْ يَعْقُوبَ، عَبْدِ اللهِ وَالرَّبِّ يَسُوعَ الْمَسِيحِ، إِلَى أَسْبَاطِ الْيَهُودِ الاثْنَيْ عَشَرَ، الْمُشَتَّتِينَ فِي كُلِّ مَكَانٍ سَلاَمٌ! | ١ 1 |
Jacob, a servant of God and of the Lord Yeshua the Messiah, to the twelve tribes which are in the Diaspora: Greetings.
| يَاإِخْوَتِي، عِنْدَمَا تَنْزِلُ بِكُمُ التَّجَارِبُ وَالْمِحَنُ الْمُخْتَلِفَةُ، اعْتَبِرُوهَا سَبِيلاً إِلَى الْفَرَحِ الْكُلِّيِّ. | ٢ 2 |
Count it all joy, my brothers, when you encounter various trials,
| وَكُونُوا عَلَى ثِقَةٍ بِأَنَّ امْتِحَانَ إِيمَانِكُمْ هَذَا يُنْتِجُ صَبْراً. | ٣ 3 |
knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance.
| وَدَعُوا الصَّبْرَ يَعْمَلُ عَمَلَهُ الْكَامِلَ فِيكُمْ، لِكَيْ يَكْتَمِلَ نُضجُكُمْ وَتَصِيرُوا أَقْوِيَاءَ قَادِرِينَ عَلَى مُوَاجَهَةِ جَمِيعِ الأَحْوَالِ. | ٤ 4 |
Let endurance have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.
| وَإِنْ كَانَ أَحَدٌ مِنْكُمْ بِحَاجَةٍ إِلَى الْحِكْمَةِ، فَلْيَطْلُبْ مِنَ اللهِ الَّذِي يُعْطِي الْجَمِيعَ بِسَخَاءٍ وَلاَ يُعَيِّرُ. فَسَيُعْطَى لَهُ. | ٥ 5 |
But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all generously and without finding fault; and it will be given to him.
| وَإِنَّمَا، عَلَيْهِ أَنْ يَطْلُبَ ذَلِكَ بِإِيمَانٍ، دُونَ أَيِّ تَرَدُّدٍ أَوْ شَكٍّ. فَإِنَّ الَّذِي يَشُكُّ يُشْبِهُ مَوْجَةَ الْبَحْرِ، تَتَلاَعَبُ بِهَا الرِّيَاحُ فَتَقْذِفُهَا وَتَرُدُّهَا! | ٦ 6 |
But let him ask in faith, without any doubting, for the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, driven and tossed by the wind.
| فَلاَ يَتَوَهَّمِ الْمُرْتَابُ أَنَّهُ يَنَالُ شَيْئاً مِنَ الرَّبِّ. | ٧ 7 |
For let that person not think that he will receive anything from the Lord.
| فَعِنْدَمَا يَكُونُ الإِنْسَانُ بِرَأْيَيْنِ، لاَ يَثْبُتُ عَلَى قَرَارٍ فِي جَمِيعِ أُمُورِهِ. | ٨ 8 |
He is a double-minded person, unstable in all his ways.
| مَنْ كَانَ فَقِيراً وَأَخاً مُؤْمِناً، فَلْيُسَرَّ بِمَقَامِهِ الَّذِي رَفَعَهُ اللهُ إِلَيْهِ. | ٩ 9 |
But let the brother in humble circumstances glory in his high position;
| وَأَمَّا الْغَنِيُّ، فَعَلَيْهِ أَنْ يُدْرِكَ أَنَّ مَا لَهُ لاَ يُغْنِيهِ عَنِ اللهِ: لأَنَّ نِهَايَتَهُ سَتَكُونُ كَنِهَايَةِ الأَعْشَابِ الْمُزْهِرَةِ. | ١٠ 10 |
and the rich, in that he is made humble, because like the flower in the grass, he will pass away.
| فَعِنْدَمَا تُشْرِقُ الشَّمْسُ بِحَرِّهَا الْمُحْرِقِ، تُيَبِّسُ تِلْكَ الأَعْشَابَ، فَيَسْقُطُ زَهْرُهَا، وَيَتَلاَشَى جَمَالُ مَنْظَرِهَا. هَكَذَا يَذْبُلُ الْغَنِيُّ فِي طُرُقِهِ! | ١١ 11 |
For the sun arises with the scorching wind, and withers the grass, and the flower in it falls, and the beauty of its appearance perishes. So also will the rich person fade away in his pursuits.
| طُوبَى لِمَنْ يَتَحَمَّلُ الْمِحْنَةَ بِصَبْرٍ. فَإِنَّهُ، بَعْدَ أَنْ يَجْتَازَ الامْتِحَانَ بِنَجَاحٍ، سَيَنَالُ «إِكْلِيلَ الْحَيَاةِ» الَّذِي وَعَدَ بِهِ الرَّبُّ مُحِبِّيهِ! | ١٢ 12 |
Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial, for when he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life, which he promised to those who love him.
| وَإِذَا تَعَرَّضَ أَحَدٌ لِتَجْرِبَةٍ مَا، فَلاَ يَقُلْ: «إِنَّ اللهَ يُجَرِّبُنِي!» ذَلِكَ لأَنَّ اللهَ لاَ يُمْكِنُ أَنْ يُجَرِّبَهُ الشَّرُّ، وَهُوَ لاَ يُجَرِّبُ بِهِ أَحَداً. | ١٣ 13 |
Let no one say when he is tempted, "I am tempted by God," for God cannot be tempted by evil, and he himself tempts no one.
| وَلَكِنَّ الإِنْسَانَ يَسْقُطُ فِي التَّجْرِبَةِ حِينَ يَنْدَفِعُ مَخْدُوعاً وَرَاءَ شَهْوَتِهِ. | ١٤ 14 |
But each one is tempted, when he is drawn away by his own lust, and enticed.
| فَإِذَا مَا حَبِلَتِ الشَّهْوَةُ وَلَدَتِ الْخَطِيئَةَ. وَمَتَى نَضَجَتِ الْخَطِيئَةُ، أَنْتَجَتِ الْمَوْتَ. | ١٥ 15 |
Then the lust, when it has conceived, bears sin; and the sin, when it is full grown, brings forth death.
| فَيَا إِخْوَتِي الأَحِبَّاءَ، لاَ تَضِلُّوا: | ١٦ 16 |
Do not be deceived, my beloved brothers.
| إِنَّ كُلَّ عَطِيَّةٍ صَالِحَةٍ وَهِبَةٍ كَامِلَةٍ إِنَّمَا تَنْزِلُ مِنْ فَوْقُ، مِنْ عِنْدِ أَبِي الأَنْوَارِ الَّذِي لَيْسَ فِيهِ تَحَوُّلٌ، وَلاَ ظِلٌّ لأَنَّهُ لاَ يَدُورُ. | ١٧ 17 |
All generous giving and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom can be no variation, nor turning shadow.
| وَهُوَ قَدْ شَاءَ أَنْ يَجْعَلَنَا أَوْلاَداً لَهُ، فَوَلَدَنَا بِكَلِمَتِهِ، كَلِمَةِ الْحَقِّ. وَغَايَتُهُ أَنْ نَكُونَ بَاكُورَةَ خَلِيقَتِهِ. | ١٨ 18 |
Of his own will he brought us forth by the word of truth, that we should be a kind of first fruits of his creatures.
| لِذَلِكَ، يَاإِخْوَتِي الأَحِبَّاءَ، عَلَى كُلِّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْكُمْ أَنْ يَكُونَ مُسْرِعاً إِلَى الإِصْغَاءِ، غَيْرَ مُتَسَرِّعٍ فِي الْكَلاَمِ، بَطِيءَ الْغَضَبِ. | ١٩ 19 |
This you know, my beloved brothers. But let every person be swift to hear, slow to speak, and slow to anger;
| لأَنَّ الإِنْسَانَ، إِذَا غَضِبَ، لاَ يَعْمَلُ الصَّلاَحَ الَّذِي يُرِيدُهُ اللهُ. | ٢٠ 20 |
for human anger does not produce the righteousness of God.
| إِذَنْ، تَخَلَّصُوا مِنْ كُلِّ مَا فِي حَيَاتِكُمْ مِنْ نَجَاسَةٍ وَشَرٍّ مُتَزَايِدٍ. وَلْيَكُنْ قَبُولُكُمْ الْكَلِمَةَ الَّتِي غَرَسَهَا اللهُ فِي قُلُوبِكُمْ، قَبُولاً وَدِيعاً. فَهِيَ الْقَادِرَةُ أَنْ تُخَلِّصَ نُفُوسَكُمْ. | ٢١ 21 |
Therefore, putting away all filthiness and overflowing of wickedness, receive with humility the implanted word, which is able to save your souls.
| لاَ تَكْتَفُوا فَقَطْ بِسَمَاعِهَا، بَلِ اعْمَلُوا بِهَا، وَإِلاَّ كُنْتُمْ تَغُشُّونَ أَنْفُسَكُمْ. | ٢٢ 22 |
But be doers of the word, and not only hearers, deluding your own selves.
| فَالَّذِي يَسْمَعُ الْكَلِمَةَ وَلاَ يَعْمَلُ بِهَا، يَكُونُ كَمَنْ يَنْظُرُ إِلَى الْمِرْآةِ لِيُشَاهِدَ وَجْهَهُ فِيهَا. | ٢٣ 23 |
For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like someone looking at his natural face in a mirror;
| وَبَعْدَ أَنْ يَرَى نَفْسَهُ، يَذْهَبُ فَيَنْسَى صُورَتَهُ حَالاً. | ٢٤ 24 |
for he sees himself, and goes away, and immediately forgets what kind of person he was.
| أَمَّا الَّذِي يَنْظُرُ بِالتَّدْقِيقِ فِي الْقَانُونِ الْكَامِلِ، قَانُونِ الْحُرِّيَّةِ، وَيُوَاظِبُ عَلَى ذَلِكَ، فَيَكُونُ كَمَنْ يَعْمَلُ بِالْكَلِمَةِ لاَ كَمَنْ يَسْمَعُهَا وَيَنْسَاهَا، فَإِنَّ اللهَ يُبَارِكُهُ كَثِيراً فِي كُلِّ مَا يَعْمَلُهُ. | ٢٥ 25 |
But he who looks into the perfect Law of freedom, and continues, not being a hearer who forgets, but a doer of the work, this person will be blessed in what he does.
| وَإِنْ ظَنَّ أَحَدٌ أَنَّهُ مُتَدَيِّنٌ، وَهُوَ لاَ يُلْجِمُ لِسَانَهُ، فَإِنَّهُ يَغُشُّ قَلْبَهُ، وَدِيَانَتُهُ غَيْرُ نَافِعَةٍ! | ٢٦ 26 |
If anyone thinks himself to be religious while he does not control his tongue, but deceives his heart, this one's religion is worthless.
| فَالدِّيَانَةُ الطَّاهِرَةُ النَّقِيَّةُ فِي نَظَرِ اللهِ الآبِ، تَظْهَرُ فِي زِيَارَةِ الأَيْتَامِ وَالأَرَامِلِ لإِعَانَتِهِمْ فِي ضِيقِهِمْ، وَفِي صِيَانَةِ النَّفْسِ مِنَ التَّلَوُّثِ بِفَسَادِ الْعَالَمِ. | 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 oneself unstained by the world.
