James 2
1 My brethren, have not the faith of our honorable Master Yahushua the Messiah with respect of persons.
| ܐܚܝ ܠܐ ܒܡܤܒ ܒܐܦܐ ܬܗܘܘܢ ܐܚܝܕܝܢ ܠܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܕܬܫܒܘܚܬܗ ܕܡܪܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ |
2 For if there come unto your assembly a man with a gold ring, in goodly apparel, and there come in also a poor man in vile raiment;
| ܐܢ ܓܝܪ ܢܥܘܠ ܠܟܢܘܫܬܟܘܢ ܐܢܫ ܕܥܙܩܬܗ ܕܕܗܒܐ ܐܘ ܕܡܐܢܘܗܝ ܫܦܝܪܐ ܘܢܥܘܠ ܡܤܟܢܐ ܒܡܐܢܐ ܨܐܐ |
3 And ye have respect to him that weareth the gay clothing, and say unto him, Sit thou here in a good place; and say to the poor, Stand thou there, or sit here under my footstool:
| ܘܬܚܘܪܘܢ ܒܗܘ ܕܠܒܝܫ ܡܐܢܐ ܫܦܝܪܐ ܘܬܐܡܪܘܢ ܠܗ ܐܢܬ ܗܪܟܐ ܬܒ ܫܦܝܪ ܘܠܡܤܟܢܐ ܬܐܡܪܘܢ ܠܗ ܐܢܬ ܩܘܡ ܠܗܠ ܐܘ ܬܒ ܠܟ ܗܪܟܐ ܩܕܡ ܟܘܒܫܐ ܕܪܓܠܝܢ |
4 Are ye not then partial in yourselves, and are become judges of evil thoughts?
| ܠܐ ܗܐ ܐܬܦܠܓܬܘܢ ܠܟܘܢ ܒܢܦܫܟܘܢ ܘܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܡܦܪܫܢܐ ܕܡܚܫܒܬܐ ܒܝܫܬܐ |
5 Hearken, my beloved brethren, Hath not YHWH chosen the poor of this world rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he hath promised to them that love him?
| ܫܡܥܘ ܐܚܝ ܚܒܝܒܐ ܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܠܡܤܟܢܐ ܕܥܠܡܐ ܥܬܝܪܐ ܕܝܢ ܒܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܓܒܐ ܐܠܗܐ ܕܢܗܘܘܢ ܝܪܬܐ ܒܡܠܟܘܬܐ ܗܝ ܕܡܠܟ ܐܠܗܐ ܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܪܚܡܝܢ ܠܗ |
6 But ye have despised the poor. Do not rich men oppress you, and draw you before the judgment seats?
| ܐܢܬܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܫܛܬܘܢܝܗܝ ܠܡܤܟܢܐ ܠܐ ܗܐ ܥܬܝܪܐ ܡܫܬܥܠܝܢ ܥܠܝܟܘܢ ܘܗܢܘܢ ܢܓܕܝܢ ܠܟܘܢ ܠܒܝܬ ܕܝܢܐ |
7 Do not they blaspheme that worthy name by the which ye are called?
| ܠܐ ܗܐ ܗܢܘܢ ܡܓܕܦܝܢ ܥܠ ܫܡܐ ܛܒܐ ܕܐܬܩܪܝ ܥܠܝܟܘܢ |
8 If ye fulfil the royal law according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself, ye do well:
| ܘܐܢ ܢܡܘܤܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܒܗܕܐ ܡܫܠܡܝܬܘܢ ܐܝܟ ܕܟܬܝܒ ܕܬܪܚܡ ܠܩܪܝܒܟ ܐܝܟ ܢܦܫܟ ܫܦܝܪ ܥܒܕܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ |
9 But if ye have respect to persons, ye commit sin, and are convinced of the law as transgressors.
| ܐܢ ܕܝܢ ܒܐܦܐ ܢܤܒܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܚܛܝܬܐ ܥܒܕܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܘܡܬܟܘܢܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܡܢ ܢܡܘܤܐ ܐܝܟ ܥܒܪܝ ܥܠ ܢܡܘܤܐ |
10 For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all.
| ܐܝܢܐ ܓܝܪ ܕܟܠܗ ܢܡܘܤܐ ܢܛܪ ܘܒܚܕܐ ܫܪܥ ܠܟܠܗ ܢܡܘܤܐ ܐܬܚܝܒ |
11 For he that said, Do not commit adultery, said also, Do not kill. Now if thou commit no adultery, yet if thou kill, thou art become a transgressor of the law.
| ܗܘ ܓܝܪ ܕܐܡܪ ܕܠܐ ܬܓܘܪ ܗܘ ܐܡܪ ܕܠܐ ܬܩܛܘܠ ܐܢ ܕܝܢ ܠܐ ܓܐܪ ܐܢܬ ܐܠܐ ܩܛܠ ܐܢܬ ܗܘܝܬ ܠܟ ܥܒܪ ܥܠ ܢܡܘܤܐ |
12 So speak ye, and so do, as they that shall be judged by the law of liberty.
| ܗܟܢܐ ܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܡܡܠܠܝܢ ܘܗܟܢܐ ܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܤܥܪܝܢ ܐܝܟ ܐܢܫܐ ܕܒܢܡܘܤܐ ܕܚܐܪܘܬܐ ܥܬܝܕܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܠܡܬܕܢܘ |
13 For he shall have judgment without mercy, that hath shewed no mercy; and mercy rejoiceth against judgment.
| ܕܝܢܐ ܓܝܪ ܗܘܐ ܕܠܐ ܪܚܡܐ ܥܠ ܗܘ ܕܠܐ ܥܒܕ ܪܚܡܐ ܡܫܬܥܠܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܒܪܚܡܐ ܥܠ ܕܝܢܐ |
14 What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him?
| ܡܢܐ ܗܢܝܢܐ ܐܚܝ ܐܢ ܐܢܫ ܐܡܪ ܕܐܝܬ ܠܝ ܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܘܥܒܕܐ ܠܝܬ ܠܗ ܕܠܡܐ ܡܫܟܚܐ ܗܝܡܢܘܬܗ ܕܬܚܝܘܗܝ |
15 If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food,
| ܘܐܢ ܐܚܐ ܐܘ ܚܬܐ ܢܗܘܘܢ ܥܪܛܠܝܝܢ ܘܚܤܝܪܝܢ ܤܝܒܪܬܐ ܕܝܘܡܐ |
16 And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what doth it profit?
| ܘܢܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܐܢܫ ܡܢܟܘܢ ܙܠܘ ܒܫܠܡܐ ܫܚܢܘ ܘܤܒܥܘ ܘܠܐ ܬܬܠܘܢ ܠܗܘܢ ܤܢܝܩܘܬܗ ܕܦܓܪܐ ܡܢܐ ܗܢܝܢܐ |
17 Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.
| ܗܟܢܐ ܐܦ ܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܕܠܐ ܥܒܕܐ ܡܝܬܐ ܗܝ ܒܠܚܘܕܝܗ |
18 Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works.
| ܐܡܪ ܓܝܪ ܐܢܫ ܠܟ ܐܝܬ ܠܟ ܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܘܠܝ ܐܝܬ ܠܝ ܥܒܕܐ ܚܘܢܝ ܗܝܡܢܘܬܟ ܕܠܐ ܥܒܕܐ ܘܐܢܐ ܡܚܘܐ ܐܢܐ ܠܟ ܗܝܡܢܘܬܝ ܡܢ ܥܒܕܝ |
19 Thou believest that there is one Elohim; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.
| ܡܗܝܡܢ ܐܢܬ ܕܚܕ ܗܘ ܐܠܗܐ ܫܦܝܪ ܥܒܕ ܐܢܬ ܐܦ ܫܐܕܐ ܡܗܝܡܢܝܢ ܘܪܥܠܝܢ |
20 But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?
| ܨܒܐ ܐܢܬ ܕܝܢ ܕܬܕܥ ܐܘ ܒܪܢܫܐ ܚܠܫܐ ܕܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܕܠܐ ܥܒܕܐ ܡܝܬܐ ܗܝ |
21 Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar?
| ܐܒܘܢ ܐܒܪܗܡ ܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܡܢ ܥܒܕܐ ܐܙܕܕܩ ܕܐܤܩ ܠܐܝܤܚܩ ܒܪܗ ܥܠ ܡܕܒܚܐ |
22 Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect?
| ܚܙܐ ܐܢܬ ܕܗܝܡܢܘܬܗ ܤܝܥܬ ܠܥܒܕܘܗܝ ܘܡܢ ܥܒܕܐ ܗܝܡܢܘܬܗ ܐܬܓܡܪܬ |
23 And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed YHWH, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of YHWH.
| ܘܫܠܡ ܟܬܒܐ ܕܐܡܪ ܕܗܝܡܢ ܐܒܪܗܡ ܒܐܠܗܐ ܘܐܬܚܫܒܬ ܠܗ ܠܙܕܝܩܘ ܘܪܚܡܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܐܬܩܪܝ |
24 Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.
| ܚܙܐ ܐܢܬ ܕܡܢ ܥܒܕܐ ܡܙܕܕܩ ܒܪܢܫܐ ܘܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܡܢ ܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܒܠܚܘܕ |
25 Likewise also was not Rahab the harlot justified by works, when she had received the messengers, and had sent them out another way?
| ܗܟܢܐ ܐܦ ܪܚܒ ܙܢܝܬܐ ܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܡܢ ܥܒܕܐ ܐܙܕܕܩܬ ܕܩܒܠܬ ܠܓܫܘܫܐ ܘܒܐܘܪܚܐ ܐܚܪܬܐ ܐܦܩܬ ܐܢܘܢ |
26 For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.
| ܐܝܟܢܐ ܕܦܓܪܐ ܕܠܐ ܪܘܚܐ ܡܝܬ ܗܘ ܗܟܢܐ ܐܦ ܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܕܠܐ ܥܒܕܐ ܡܝܬܐ ܗܝ |
