يَعقُوب 5
| أَيُّهَا الأَغْنِيَاءُ، هَيَّا الآنَ ابْكُوا مُوَلْوِلِينَ بِسَبَبِ مَا يَنْتَظِرُكُمْ مِنْ أَهْوَالٍ وَشَقَاءٍ. | ١ 1 |
Come now, ye rich men, weep and wail for your miseries that shall come upon you.
| إِنَّ ثَرْوَاتِكُمُ الْكَثِيرَةَ قَدْ فَسَدَتْ، وَثِيَابَكُمُ الْفَاخِرَةَ قَدْ أَكَلَهَا الْعُثُّ | ٢ 2 |
Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are motheaten.
| ذَهَبُكُمْ وَفِضَّتُكُمْ قَدْ تَآكَلا، وَسَيَكُونُ تَآكُلُهُمَا شَاهِداً ضِدَّكُمْ، وَيَأْكُلُ لَحْمَكُمْ كَنَارٍ جَمَعْتُمُوهَا ثَرْوَةً لِلأَيَّامِ الأَخِيرَةِ؟ | ٣ 3 |
Your gold and silver is rusted; and its rust shall be a witness against you, and shall eat your flesh as it were fire. Ye have heaped up treasure for the last days.
| وَهذِهِ أُجْرَةُ الْعُمَّالِ الَّذِينَ حَصَدُوا حُقُولَكُمْ، تِلْكَ الأُجْرَةُ الَّتِي مَازِلْتُمْ تَحْبِسُونَهَا عَنْهُمْ ظُلْماً، إِنَّهَا تَصْرُخُ، وَصُرَاخُ أُولئِكَ الْعُمَّالِ أَنْفُسِهِمْ قَدْ سَمِعَهُ رَبُّ الْجُنُودِ! | ٤ 4 |
Behold, the hire of the labourers who have reaped your fields, which is by you kept back by fraud, crieth: and the cries of them who have reaped have entered into the ears of the Lord of Hosts.
| أَنْتُمْ تَعِيشُونَ عَلَى الأَرْضِ عِيشَةَ رَفَاهِيَّةٍ وَانْصِرَافٍ إِلَى الْمَبَاهِجِ وَاللَّذَّاتِ؛ وَقَدْ أَصْبَحَتْ قُلُوبُكُمْ سَمِينَةً كَأَنَّهَا جَاهِزَةٌ لِيَوْمِ الذَّبْحِ. | ٥ 5 |
Ye have lived in pleasure on the earth, and been wanton; ye have nourished your hearts, as in a day of slaughter.
| وَالْبَرِيءُ حَكَمْتُمْ عَلَيْهِ وَقَتَلْتُمُوهُ، وَهُوَ لَا يُقَاوِمُكُمْ! | ٦ 6 |
Ye have condemned and killed the just; and he doth not resist you.
| وَأَمَّا أَنْتُمْ، يَا إِخْوَتِي، فَاصْبِرُوا مُنْتَظِرِينَ عَوْدَةَ الرَّبِّ. خُذُوا الْعِبْرَةَ مِنَ الْفَلّاحِ: فَهُوَ يَنْتَظِرُ أَنْ تُعْطِيَهُ الأَرْضُ غِلَالاً ثَمِينَةً، صَابِراً عَلَى الزَّرْعِ حَتَّى يَشْرَبَ مِنْ مَطَرِ الْخَرِيفِ وَمَطَرِ الرَّبِيعِ. | ٧ 7 |
Be patient therefore, brethren, until the coming of the Lord. Behold, the farmer waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience for it, until he receiveth the early and the latter rain.
| فَاصْبِرُوا أَنْتُمْ إِذَنْ، وَشَدِّدُوا قُلُوبَكُمْ لأَنَّ عَوْدَةَ الرَّبِّ قَدْ صَارَتْ قَرِيبَةً. | ٨ 8 |
Be ye also patient; establish your hearts: for the coming of the Lord draweth near.
| أَيُّهَا الإِخْوَةُ، لَا تَتَذَمَّرُوا بَعْضُكُمْ عَلَى بَعْضٍ، لِكَيْ لَا يَصْدُرَ الْحُكْمُ ضِدَّكُمْ. تَذَكَّرُوا دَائِماً أَنَّ الدَّيَّانَ قَرِيبٌ جِدّاً، إِنَّهُ أَمَامَ الْبَابِ. | ٩ 9 |
Murmur not one against another, brethren, lest ye be condemned: behold, the judge standeth before the door.
| وَاقْتَدُوا، يَا إِخْوَتِي، فِي احْتِمَالِ الآلامِ وَالصَّبْرِ عَلَيْهَا، بِالأَنْبِيَاءِ الَّذِينَ تَكَلَّمُوا بِاسْمِ الرَّبِّ. | ١٠ 10 |
Take, my brethren, the prophets, who have spoken in the name of the Lord, for an example of suffering affliction, and of patience.
| فَنَحْنُ نَقُولُ عَنِ الصَّابِرِينَ عَلَى الأَلَمِ: «طُوبَى لَهُمْ!» وَقَدْ سَمِعْتُمْ بِصَبْرِ أَيُّوبَ، وَرَأَيْتُمْ كَيْفَ عَامَلَهُ الرَّبُّ فِي النِّهَايَةِ. وَهَذَا يُبَيِّنُ أَنَّ الرَّبَّ كَثِيرُ الرَّحْمَةِ وَالشَّفَقَةِ. | ١١ 11 |
Behold, we count them happy who endure. Ye have heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the end of the Lord; that the Lord is very pitiful, and of tender mercy.
| وَلكِنْ قَبْلَ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ، يَا إِخْوَتِي، لَا تَحْلِفُوا، لَا بِالسَّمَاءِ، وَلا بِالأَرْضِ وَلا بِأَيِّ قَسَمٍ آخَرَ. وَإِنَّمَا لِيَكُنْ كَلامُكُمْ «نَعَمْ» إِنْ كَانَ نَعَمْ، وَ«لا» إِنْ كَانَ لا. وَذَلِكَ لِكَيْ لَا تَقَعُوا تَحْتَ الْحُكْمِ. | ١٢ 12 |
But above all things, my brethren, swear not, neither by heaven, neither by the earth, neither by any other oath: but let your yea be yea; and your nay, nay; lest ye fall into condemnation.
| هَلْ بَيْنَكُمْ مَنْ يَتَأَلَّمُ؟ فَلْيُصَلِّ! وَهَلْ بَيْنَكُمْ مَنْ هُوَ سَعِيدٌ؟ فَلْيُرَتِّلْ! | ١٣ 13 |
Is any among you afflicted? let him pray. Is any cheerful? let him sing psalms.
| وَمَنْ كَانَ مِنْكُمْ مَرِيضاً، فَلْيَسْتَدْعِ شُيُوخَ الْكَنِيسَةِ لِيُصَلُّوا مِنْ أَجْلِهِ وَيَدْهُنُوهُ بِزَيْتٍ بِاسْمِ الرَّبِّ. | ١٤ 14 |
Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord:
| فَالصَّلاةُ الْمَرْفُوعَةُ بِإِيمَانٍ تَشْفِي الْمَرِيضَ، إِذْ يُعِيدُ الرَّبُّ إِلَيْهِ الصِّحَّةَ. وَإِنْ كَانَ مَرَضُهُ بِسَبَبِ خَطِيئَةٍ مَا، يَغْفِرُهَا الرَّبُّ لَهُ. | ١٥ 15 |
And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he hath committed sins, they shall be forgiven him.
| لِيَعْتَرِفْ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْكُمْ لأَخِيهِ بِزَلّاتِهِ، وَصَلُّوا بَعْضُكُمْ لأَجْلِ بَعْضٍ، حَتَّى تُشْفَوْا. إِنَّ الصَّلاةَ الْحَارَّةَ الَّتِي يَرْفَعُهَا الْبَارُّ لَهَا فَعَّالِيَّةٌ عَظِيمَةٌ. | ١٦ 16 |
Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of the righteous man availeth much.
| فَقَدْ كَانَ إِيلِيَّا بَشَراً مِثْلَنَا، وَطَلَبَ مِنَ اللهِ بِالصَّلاةِ أَنْ يَحْبِسَ الْمَطَرَ. وَهكَذَا كَانَ، فَلَمْ تَنْزِلْ عَلَى الأَرْضِ قَطْرَةُ مَطَرٍ لِمُدَّةِ ثَلاثِ سِنِينَ وَسِتَّةِ أَشْهُرٍ. | ١٧ 17 |
Elijah was a man subject to like passions as we are, and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain: and it rained not on the earth by the space of three years and six months.
| ثُمَّ صَلَّى صَلاةً ثَانِيَةً، فَأَمْطَرَتِ السَّمَاءُ وَأَنْتَجَتِ الأَرْضُ ثِمَارَهَا! | ١٨ 18 |
And he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth brought forth its fruit.
| أَيُّهَا الإِخْوَةُ، إِنْ ضَلَّ أَحَدٌ بَيْنَكُمْ عَنِ الْحَقِّ، وَرَدَّهُ آخَرُ، | ١٩ 19 |
Brethren, if any one of you should err from the truth, and one should convert him;
| فَلْيَتَأَكَّدْ أَنَّ الَّذِي يَرُدُّ خَاطِئاً عَنْ ضَلالِ مَسْلَكِهِ، فَإِنَّمَا يُنْقِذُ نَفْساً مِنَ الْمَوْتِ، وَيَسْتُرُ خَطَايَا كَثِيرَةً! | ٢٠ 20 |
Let him know, that he who converteth a sinner from the error of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall hide a multitude of sins.
