James 1
1 James the servant of God, and of our Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad, greeting.
| ܝܥܩܘܒ ܥܒܕܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܘܕܡܪܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܠܬܪܬܥܤܪܐ ܫܪܒܢ ܕܙܪܝܥܢ ܒܥܡܡܐ ܫܠܡ |
2 My brethren, count it all joy, when you shall fall into divers temptations;
| ܟܠ ܚܕܘܐ ܬܗܘܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܐܚܝ ܟܕ ܬܥܠܘܢ ܠܢܤܝܘܢܐ ܡܫܚܠܦܐ ܘܤܓܝܐܐ |
3 Knowing that the trying of your faith worketh patience.
| ܝܕܥܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܓܝܪ ܕܒܘܩܝܐ ܕܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܡܩܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܡܤܝܒܪܢܘܬܐ |
4 And patience hath a perfect work; that you may be perfect and entire, failing in nothing.
| ܠܗ ܕܝܢ ܠܡܤܝܒܪܢܘܬܐ ܢܗܘܐ ܠܗ ܥܒܕܐ ܡܫܡܠܝܐ ܕܬܗܘܘܢ ܓܡܝܪܝܢ ܘܡܫܠܡܢܝܢ ܘܒܡܕܡ ܠܐ ܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܚܤܝܪܝܢ |
5 But if any of you want wisdom, let him ask of God, who giveth to all men abundantly, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.
| ܐܢ ܐܢܫ ܕܝܢ ܡܢܟܘܢ ܚܤܝܪ ܡܢ ܚܟܡܬܐ ܢܫܐܠ ܡܢ ܐܠܗܐ ܕܝܗܒ ܠܟܠ ܦܫܝܛܐܝܬ ܘܠܐ ܡܚܤܕ ܘܡܬܝܗܒܐ ܠܗ |
6 But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea, which is moved and carried about by the wind.
| ܢܫܐܠ ܕܝܢ ܒܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܟܕ ܠܐ ܡܬܦܠܓ ܗܘ ܓܝܪ ܕܡܬܦܠܓ ܕܡܐ ܠܓܠܠܐ ܕܝܡܐ ܕܫܓܫܐ ܠܗܘܢ ܪܘܚܐ |
7 Therefore let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord.
| ܘܠܐ ܢܤܒܪ ܗܘ ܒܪܢܫܐ ܕܢܤܒ ܡܕܡ ܡܢ ܡܪܝܐ |
8 A double minded man is inconstant in all his ways.
| ܐܝܢܐ ܕܦܠܝܓ ܒܪܥܝܢܗ ܘܫܓܝܫ ܒܟܠܗܝܢ ܐܘܪܚܬܗ |
9 But let the brother of low condition glory in his exaltation:
| ܢܫܬܒܗܪ ܕܝܢ ܐܚܐ ܡܟܝܟܐ ܒܪܘܡܪܡܗ |
10 And the rich, in his being low; because as the flower of the grass shall he pass away.
| ܘܥܬܝܪܐ ܒܡܘܟܟܗ ܡܛܠ ܕܐܝܟ ܗܒܒܐ ܕܥܤܒܐ ܗܟܢܐ ܥܒܪ |
11 For the sun rose with a burning heat, and parched the grass, and the flower thereof fell off, and the beauty of the shape thereof perished: so also shall the rich man fade away in his ways.
| ܕܢܚ ܓܝܪ ܫܡܫܐ ܒܚܘܡܗ ܘܡܘܒܫ ܠܗ ܠܥܤܒܐ ܘܗܒܒܗ ܢܦܠ ܘܫܘܦܪܐ ܕܚܙܘܗ ܐܒܕ ܗܟܢܐ ܐܦ ܥܬܝܪܐ ܚܡܐ ܒܗܘܦܟܘܗܝ |
12 Blessed is the man that endureth temptation; for when he hath been proved, he shall receive a crown of life, which God hath promised to them that love him.
| ܛܘܒܘܗܝ ܠܓܒܪܐ ܕܡܤܝܒܪ ܢܤܝܘܢܐ ܕܡܐ ܕܐܬܒܚܪ ܢܤܒ ܟܠܝܠܐ ܕܚܝܐ ܗܘ ܕܡܠܟ ܐܠܗܐ ܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܪܚܡܝܢ ܠܗ |
13 Let no man, when he is tempted, say that he is tempted by God. For God is not a tempter of evils, and he tempteth no man.
| ܠܐ ܢܐܡܪ ܐܢܫ ܟܕ ܡܬܢܤܐ ܕܡܢ ܐܠܗܐ ܡܬܢܤܐ ܐܢܐ ܐܠܗܐ ܓܝܪ ܠܐ ܡܢܤܝ ܒܒܝܫܬܐ ܘܗܘ ܠܐܢܫ ܠܐ ܡܢܤܐ |
14 But every man is tempted by his own concupiscence, being drawn away and allured.
| ܐܠܐ ܐܢܫ ܐܢܫ ܡܢ ܪܓܬܗ ܗܘ ܡܬܢܤܐ ܘܡܬܪܓܪܓ ܘܡܬܢܓܕ |
15 Then when concupiscence hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin. But sin, when it is completed, begetteth death.
| ܘܗܕܐ ܪܓܬܐ ܒܛܢܐ ܘܝܠܕܐ ܚܛܝܬܐ ܚܛܝܬܐ ܕܝܢ ܡܐ ܕܐܬܓܡܪܬ ܝܠܕܐ ܡܘܬܐ |
16 Do not err, therefore, my dearest brethren.
| ܠܐ ܬܛܥܘܢ ܐܚܝ ܚܒܝܒܐ |
17 Every best gift, and every perfect gift, is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no change, nor shadow of alteration.
| ܟܠ ܡܘܗܒܬܐ ܛܒܬܐ ܘܡܫܡܠܝܬܐ ܡܢ ܠܥܠ ܢܚܬܐ ܡܢ ܐܒܐ ܕܢܗܝܪܐ ܗܘ ܕܠܝܬ ܠܘܬܗ ܫܘܚܠܦܐ ܡܕܡ ܐܦܠܐ ܛܠܢܝܬܐ ܕܫܘܓܢܝܐ |
18 For of his own will hath he begotten us by the word of truth, that we might be some beginning of his creatures.
| ܗܘܝܘ ܨܒܐ ܘܝܠܕܢ ܒܡܠܬܐ ܕܩܘܫܬܐ ܕܢܗܘܐ ܪܫܝܬܐ ܕܒܪܝܬܗ |
19 You know, my dearest brethren. And let every man be swift to hear, but slow to speak, and slow to anger.
| ܘܐܢܬܘܢ ܐܚܝ ܚܒܝܒܐ ܟܠܢܫ ܡܢܟܘܢ ܢܗܘܐ ܡܤܪܗܒ ܠܡܫܡܥ ܘܡܘܚܪ ܠܡܡܠܠܘ ܘܡܘܚܪ ܠܡܪܓܙ |
20 For the anger of man worketh not the justice of God.
| ܪܘܓܙܗ ܓܝܪ ܕܓܒܪܐ ܙܕܝܩܘܬܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܠܐ ܥܒܕ |
21 Wherefore casting away all uncleanness, and abundance of naughtiness, with meekness receive the ingrafted word, which is able to save your souls.
| ܡܛܠ ܗܢܐ ܐܪܚܩܘ ܡܢܟܘܢ ܟܠܗ ܛܢܦܘܬܐ ܘܤܘܓܐܐ ܕܒܝܫܘܬܐ ܘܒܡܟܝܟܘܬܐ ܩܒܠܘ ܡܠܬܐ ܕܢܨܝܒܐ ܒܟܝܢܢ ܕܗܝ ܡܫܟܚܐ ܕܬܚܐ ܐܢܝܢ ܢܦܫܬܟܘܢ |
22 But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.
| ܗܘܘ ܕܝܢ ܥܒܘܕܐ ܕܡܠܬܐ ܘܠܐ ܫܡܘܥܐ ܒܠܚܘܕ ܘܠܐ ܬܛܥܘܢ ܢܦܫܬܟܘܢ |
23 For if a man be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he shall be compared to a man beholding his own countenance in a glass.
| ܐܢ ܐܢܫ ܓܝܪ ܢܗܘܐ ܫܡܘܥܗ ܕܡܠܬܐ ܘܠܐ ܥܒܘܕܗ ܗܢܐ ܕܡܐ ܠܗܘ ܕܚܙܐ ܐܦܘܗܝ ܒܡܚܙܝܬܐ |
24 For he beheld himself, and went his way, and presently forgot what manner of man he was.
| ܚܙܐ ܓܝܪ ܢܦܫܗ ܘܥܒܪ ܘܛܥܐ ܕܐܝܟܢܐ ܗܘܐ |
25 But he that hath looked into the perfect law of liberty, and hath continued therein, not becoming a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work; this man shall be blessed in his deed.
| ܟܠ ܕܝܢ ܕܚܪ ܒܢܡܘܤܐ ܡܫܠܡܢܐ ܕܚܐܪܘܬܐ ܘܩܘܝ ܒܗ ܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܫܡܘܥܐ ܕܫܡܥܐ ܕܡܬܛܥܐ ܐܠܐ ܥܒܘܕܐ ܕܥܒܕܐ ܘܗܢܐ ܛܘܒܢܐ ܢܗܘܐ ܒܥܒܕܗ |
26 And if any man think himself to be religious, not bridling his tongue, but deceiving his own heart, this man’s religion is vain.
| ܘܐܢ ܐܢܫ ܤܒܪ ܕܡܫܡܫ ܠܐܠܗܐ ܘܠܐ ܐܚܕ ܠܫܢܗ ܐܠܐ ܡܛܥܐ ܠܗ ܠܒܗ ܕܗܢܐ ܤܪܝܩܐ ܗܝ ܬܫܡܫܬܗ |
27 Religion clean and undefiled before God and the Father, is this: to visit the fatherless and widows in their tribulation: and to keep one’s self unspotted from this world.
| ܬܫܡܫܬܐ ܓܝܪ ܕܟܝܬܐ ܘܩܕܝܫܬܐ ܩܕܡ ܐܠܗܐ ܐܒܐ ܗܕܐ ܗܝ ܠܡܤܥܪ ܝܬܡܐ ܘܐܪܡܠܬܐ ܒܐܘܠܨܢܝܗܘܢ ܘܠܡܛܪ ܐܢܫ ܢܦܫܗ ܡܢ ܥܠܡܐ ܕܠܐ ܛܘܠܫܐ |
