Ιακωβου 1
1 ιακωβοσ θεου και κυριου ιησου χριστου δουλοσ ταισ δωδεκα φυλαισ ταισ εν τη διασπορα χαιρειν
James of God and of [the] Lord Jesus Christ a servant To the twelve tribes in the Dispersion Greeting.
2 πασαν χαραν ηγησασθε αδελφοι μου οταν πειρασμοισ περιπεσητε ποικιλοισ
All joy do esteem [it], brothers of mine, when trials you may fall into various,
3 γινωσκοντεσ οτι το δοκιμιον υμων τησ πιστεωσ κατεργαζεται υπομονην
knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance;
4 η δε υπομονη εργον τελειον εχετω ινα ητε τελειοι και ολοκληροι εν μηδενι λειπομενοι
And endurance work [its] perfect should have, so that you may be perfect and complete in nothing lacking.
5 ει δε τισ υμων λειπεται σοφιασ αιτειτω παρα του διδοντοσ θεου πασιν απλωσ και ουκ ονειδιζοντοσ και δοθησεται αυτω
If now any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask from the [One] giving God to all generously and (not *NK+o) finding fault, and it will be given to him.
6 αιτειτω δε εν πιστει μηδεν διακρινομενοσ ο γαρ διακρινομενοσ εοικεν κλυδωνι θαλασσησ ανεμιζομενω και ριπιζομενω
he should ask however in faith nothing doubting; The [one] for doubting he has been likened to a wave of [the] sea being blown by the wind and being tossed by the wind.
7 μη γαρ οιεσθω ο ανθρωποσ εκεινοσ οτι ληψεται τι παρα του κυριου
Not for should suppose the man that that he will receive anything from the Lord;
8 ανηρ διψυχοσ ακαταστατοσ εν πασαισ ταισ οδοισ αυτου
[He is] a man double-minded unstable in all the ways of him.
9 καυχασθω δε ο αδελφοσ ο ταπεινοσ εν τω υψει αυτου
should boast however the brother of low degree in the exaltation of him,
10 ο δε πλουσιοσ εν τη ταπεινωσει αυτου οτι ωσ ανθοσ χορτου παρελευσεται
he who [is] then rich in the humiliation of him because like a flower of grass he will pass away.
11 ανετειλεν γαρ ο ηλιοσ συν τω καυσωνι και εξηρανεν τον χορτον και το ανθοσ αυτου εξεπεσεν και η ευπρεπεια του προσωπου αυτου απωλετο ουτωσ και ο πλουσιοσ εν ταισ πορειαισ αυτου μαρανθησεται
Has risen for the sun with [its] burning heat and withered the grass and the flower of it has fallen and the beauty of the appearance of it has perished; Thus also the rich [man] in the midst of the pursuits of him will fade away.
12 μακαριοσ ανηρ οσ υπομενει πειρασμον οτι δοκιμοσ γενομενοσ ληψεται τον στεφανον τησ ζωησ ον επηγγειλατο ο κυριοσ τοισ αγαπωσιν αυτον
Blessed [is the] man who endures trial, because approved having been he will receive the crown of life that He has promised (the Lord *K) to those loving Him.
13 μηδεισ πειραζομενοσ λεγετω οτι απο θεου πειραζομαι ο γαρ θεοσ απειραστοσ εστιν κακων πειραζει δε αυτοσ ουδενα
No one being tempted should say that By God I am being tempted; For God unable to be tempted is by evils, tempts now He Himself no [one];
14 εκαστοσ δε πειραζεται υπο τησ ιδιασ επιθυμιασ εξελκομενοσ και δελεαζομενοσ
A man however is tempted by the own desire being drawn away and being enticed;
15 ειτα η επιθυμια συλλαβουσα τικτει αμαρτιαν η δε αμαρτια αποτελεσθεισα αποκυει θανατον
Then desire having conceived it gives birth to sin, and sin having become fully grown it brings forth death.
16 μη πλανασθε αδελφοι μου αγαπητοι
Not do be misled, brothers of mine beloved;
17 πασα δοσισ αγαθη και παν δωρημα τελειον ανωθεν εστιν καταβαινον απο του πατροσ των φωτων παρ ω ουκ ενι παραλλαγη η τροπησ αποσκιασμα
Every act of giving good and every gift perfect from above is coming down from the Father of lights with whom not there is variation or of shifting shadow.
18 βουληθεισ απεκυησεν ημασ λογω αληθειασ εισ το ειναι ημασ απαρχην τινα των αυτου κτισματων
Having willed [it] He brought forth us by [the] word of truth, for to be us firstfruits a certain of His creatures.
19 ωστε αδελφοι μου αγαπητοι εστω πασ ανθρωποσ ταχυσ εισ το ακουσαι βραδυσ εισ το λαλησαι βραδυσ εισ οργην
(You should know *N+KO) brothers of mine beloved; should be (however *no) every man swift unto to hear, slow unto to speak, slow unto anger.
20 οργη γαρ ανδροσ δικαιοσυνην θεου ου κατεργαζεται
[the] anger for of man [the] righteousness of God not (works. *N+kO)
21 διο αποθεμενοι πασαν ρυπαριαν και περισσειαν κακιασ εν πραυτητι δεξασθε τον εμφυτον λογον τον δυναμενον σωσαι τασ ψυχασ υμων
Therefore having put aside all filthiness and excess of wickedness in humility do receive the implanted word which is being able to save the souls of you.
22 γινεσθε δε ποιηται λογου και μη μονον ακροαται παραλογιζομενοι εαυτουσ
do be however doers of [the] word and not only hearers deceiving yourselves.
23 οτι ει τισ ακροατησ λογου εστιν και ου ποιητησ ουτοσ εοικεν ανδρι κατανοουντι το προσωπον τησ γενεσεωσ αυτου εν εσοπτρω
because if anyone a hearer of [the] word is and not a doer, this one has been likened to a man looking at the face the natural of him in a mirror;
24 κατενοησεν γαρ εαυτον και απεληλυθεν και ευθεωσ επελαθετο οποιοσ ην
he has viewed for himself and has gone away and immediately he has forgotten what like he was.
25 ο δε παρακυψασ εισ νομον τελειον τον τησ ελευθεριασ και παραμεινασ ουτοσ ουκ ακροατησ επιλησμονησ γενομενοσ αλλα ποιητησ εργου ουτοσ μακαριοσ εν τη ποιησει αυτου εσται
The [one] however having looked intently into [the] law perfect that of freedom and having continued in [it], (this *k) not a hearer forgetful having been but a doer of [the] work — this one blessed in the work to be done by him will be.
26 ει τισ δοκει θρησκοσ ειναι εν υμιν μη χαλιναγωγων γλωσσαν αυτου αλλα απατων καρδιαν αυτου τουτου ματαιοσ η θρησκεια
If anyone seems religious to be (among you *K) not bridling [the] tongue (of him *NK+o) but deceiving [the] heart (of him, *NK+o) of this one worthless [is] the religion.
27 θρησκεια καθαρα και αμιαντοσ παρα θεω και πατρι αυτη εστιν επισκεπτεσθαι ορφανουσ και χηρασ εν τη θλιψει αυτων ασπιλον εαυτον τηρειν απο του κοσμου
Religion pure and undefiled before the God and Father this is, to visit orphans and widows in the tribulation of them, unstained oneself to keep from the world.
