يَعقُوب 2
| يَا إِخْوَتِي، لَا يَكُنْ لَكُمْ إِيمَانُ رَبِّنَا يَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ، رَبِّ ٱلْمَجْدِ، فِي ٱلْمُحَابَاةِ. | ١ 1 |
My brethren, hold not the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, [the Lord] of glory, with respect of persons.
| فَإِنَّهُ إِنْ دَخَلَ إِلَى مَجْمَعِكُمْ رَجُلٌ بِخَوَاتِمِ ذَهَبٍ فِي لِبَاسٍ بَهِيٍّ، وَدَخَلَ أَيْضًا فَقِيرٌ بِلِبَاسٍ وَسِخٍ، | ٢ 2 |
For if there come into your synagogue a man with a gold ring, in fine clothing, and there come in also a poor man in vile clothing;
| فَنَظَرْتُمْ إِلَى ٱللَّابِسِ ٱللِّبَاسَ ٱلْبَهِيَّ وَقُلْتُمْ لَهُ: «ٱجْلِسْ أَنْتَ هُنَا حَسَنًا». وَقُلْتُمْ لِلْفَقِيرِ: «قِفْ أَنْتَ هُنَاكَ» أَوِ: «ٱجْلِسْ هُنَا تَحْتَ مَوْطِىءِ قَدَمَيَّ». | ٣ 3 |
and ye have regard to him that weareth the fine clothing, and say, Sit thou here in a good place; and ye say to the poor man, Stand thou there, or sit under my footstool;
| فَهَلْ لَا تَرْتَابُونَ فِي أَنْفُسِكُمْ، وَتَصِيرُونَ قُضَاةَ أَفْكَارٍ شِرِّيرَةٍ؟ | ٤ 4 |
do ye not make distinctions among yourselves, and become judges with evil thoughts?
| ٱسْمَعُوا يَا إِخْوَتِي ٱلْأَحِبَّاءَ: أَمَا ٱخْتَارَ ٱللهُ فُقَرَاءَ هَذَا ٱلْعَالَمِ أَغْنِيَاءَ فِي ٱلْإِيمَانِ، وَوَرَثَةَ ٱلْمَلَكُوتِ ٱلَّذِي وَعَدَ بِهِ ٱلَّذِينَ يُحِبُّونَهُ؟ | ٥ 5 |
Hearken, my beloved brethren; did not God choose them that are poor as to the world [to be] rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he promised to them that love him?
| وَأَمَّا أَنْتُمْ فَأَهَنْتُمُ ٱلْفَقِيرَ. أَلَيْسَ ٱلْأَغْنِيَاءُ يَتَسَلَّطُونَ عَلَيْكُمْ وَهُمْ يَجُرُّونَكُمْ إِلَى ٱلْمَحَاكِمِ؟ | ٦ 6 |
But ye have dishonored the poor man. Do not the rich oppress you, and themselves drag you before the judgment-seats?
| أَمَا هُمْ يُجَدِّفُونَ عَلَى ٱلِٱسْمِ ٱلْحَسَنِ ٱلَّذِي دُعِيَ بِهِ عَلَيْكُمْ؟ | ٧ 7 |
Do not they blaspheme the honorable name by which ye are called?
| فَإِنْ كُنْتُمْ تُكَمِّلُونَ ٱلنَّامُوسَ ٱلْمُلُوكِيَّ حَسَبَ ٱلْكِتَابِ: «تُحِبُّ قَرِيبَكَ كَنَفْسِكَ»، فَحَسَنًا تَفْعَلُونَ. | ٨ 8 |
Howbeit if ye fulfil the royal law, according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself, ye do well:
| وَلَكِنْ إِنْ كُنْتُمْ تُحَابُونَ، تَفْعَلُونَ خَطِيَّةً، مُوَبَّخِينَ مِنَ ٱلنَّامُوسِ كَمُتَعَدِّينَ. | ٩ 9 |
but if ye have respect of persons, ye commit sin, being convicted by the law as transgressors.
| لِأَنَّ مَنْ حَفِظَ كُلَّ ٱلنَّامُوسِ، وَإِنَّمَا عَثَرَ فِي وَاحِدَةٍ، فَقَدْ صَارَ مُجْرِمًا فِي ٱلْكُلِّ. | ١٠ 10 |
For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet stumble in one [point], he is become guilty of all.
| لِأَنَّ ٱلَّذِي قَالَ: «لَا تَزْنِ»، قَالَ أَيْضًا: «لَا تَقْتُلْ». فَإِنْ لَمْ تَزْنِ وَلَكِنْ قَتَلْتَ، فَقَدْ صِرْتَ مُتَعَدِّيًا ٱلنَّامُوسَ. | ١١ 11 |
For he that said, Do not commit adultery, said also, Do not kill. Now if thou dost not commit adultery, but killest, thou art become a transgressor of the law.
| هَكَذَا تَكَلَّمُوا وَهَكَذَا ٱفْعَلُوا كَعَتِيدِينَ أَنْ تُحَاكَمُوا بِنَامُوسِ ٱلْحُرِّيَّةِ. | ١٢ 12 |
So speak ye, and so do, as men that are to be judged by a law of liberty.
| لِأَنَّ ٱلْحُكْمَ هُوَ بِلَا رَحْمَةٍ لِمَنْ لَمْ يَعْمَلْ رَحْمَةً، وَٱلرَّحْمَةُ تَفْتَخِرُ عَلَى ٱلْحُكْمِ. | ١٣ 13 |
For judgment [is] without mercy to him that hath showed no mercy: mercy glorieth against judgment.
| مَا ٱلْمَنْفَعَةُ يَا إِخْوَتِي إِنْ قَالَ أَحَدٌ إِنَّ لَهُ إِيمَانًا وَلَكِنْ لَيْسَ لَهُ أَعْمَالٌ، هَلْ يَقْدِرُ ٱلْإِيمَانُ أَنْ يُخَلِّصَهُ؟ | ١٤ 14 |
What doth it profit, my brethren, if a man say he hath faith, but have not works? can that faith save him?
| إِنْ كَانَ أَخٌ وَأُخْتٌ عُرْيَانَيْنِ وَمُعْتَازَيْنِ لِلْقُوتِ ٱلْيَوْمِيِّ، | ١٥ 15 |
If a brother or sister be naked and in lack of daily food,
| فَقَالَ لَهُمَا أَحَدُكُمُ: «ٱمْضِيَا بِسَلَامٍ، ٱسْتَدْفِئَا وَٱشْبَعَا»، وَلَكِنْ لَمْ تُعْطُوهُمَا حَاجَاتِ ٱلْجَسَدِ، فَمَا ٱلْمَنْفَعَةُ؟ | ١٦ 16 |
and one of you say unto them, Go in peace, be ye warmed and filled; and yet ye give them not the things needful to the body; what doth it profit?
| هَكَذَا ٱلْإِيمَانُ أَيْضًا، إِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ أَعْمَالٌ، مَيِّتٌ فِي ذَاتِهِ. | ١٧ 17 |
Even so faith, if it have not works, is dead in itself.
| لَكِنْ يَقُولُ قَائِلٌ: «أَنْتَ لَكَ إِيمَانٌ، وَأَنَا لِي أَعْمَالٌ. أَرِنِي إِيمَانَكَ بِدُونِ أَعْمَالِكَ، وَأَنَا أُرِيكَ بِأَعْمَالِي إِيمَانِي». | ١٨ 18 |
Yea, a man will say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: show me thy faith apart from [thy] works, and I by my works will show thee [my] faith.
| أَنْتَ تُؤْمِنُ أَنَّ ٱللهَ وَاحِدٌ. حَسَنًا تَفْعَلُ. وَٱلشَّيَاطِينُ يُؤْمِنُونَ وَيَقْشَعِرُّونَ! | ١٩ 19 |
Thou believest that God is one; thou doest well: the demons also believe, and shudder.
| وَلَكِنْ هَلْ تُرِيدُ أَنْ تَعْلَمَ أَيُّهَا ٱلْإِنْسَانُ ٱلْبَاطِلُ أَنَّ ٱلْإِيمَانَ بِدُونِ أَعْمَالٍ مَيِّتٌ؟ | ٢٠ 20 |
But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith apart from works is barren?
| أَلَمْ يَتَبَرَّرْ إِبْرَاهِيمُ أَبُونَا بِٱلْأَعْمَالِ، إِذْ قَدَّمَ إِسْحَاقَ ٱبْنَهُ عَلَى ٱلْمَذْبَحِ؟ | ٢١ 21 |
Was not Abraham our father justified by works, in that he offered up Isaac his son upon the altar?
| فَتَرَى أَنَّ ٱلْإِيمَانَ عَمِلَ مَعَ أَعْمَالِهِ، وَبِٱلْأَعْمَالِ أُكْمِلَ ٱلْإِيمَانُ، | ٢٢ 22 |
Thou seest that faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect;
| وَتَمَّ ٱلْكِتَابُ ٱلْقَائِلُ: «فَآمَنَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ بِٱللهِ فَحُسِبَ لَهُ بِرًّا»، وَدُعِيَ خَلِيلَ ٱللهِ. | ٢٣ 23 |
and the scripture was fulfilled which saith, And Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned unto him for righteousness; and he was called the friend of God.
| تَرَوْنَ إِذًا أَنَّهُ بِٱلْأَعْمَالِ يَتَبَرَّرُ ٱلْإِنْسَانُ، لَابِٱلْإِيمَانِ وَحْدَهُ. | ٢٤ 24 |
Ye see that by works a man is justified, and not only by faith.
| كَذَلِكَ رَاحَابُ ٱلزَّانِيَةُ أَيْضًا، أَمَا تَبَرَّرَتْ بِٱلْأَعْمَالِ، إِذْ قَبِلَتِ ٱلرُّسُلَ وَأَخْرَجَتْهُمْ فِي طَرِيقٍ آخَرَ؟ | ٢٥ 25 |
And in like manner was not also Rahab the harlot justified by works, in that she received the messengers, and sent them out another way?
| لِأَنَّهُ كَمَا أَنَّ ٱلْجَسَدَ بِدُونَ رُوحٍ مَيِّتٌ، هَكَذَا ٱلْإِيمَانُ أَيْضًا بِدُونِ أَعْمَالٍ مَيِّتٌ. | ٢٦ 26 |
For as the body apart from the spirit is dead, even so faith apart from works is dead.
