James 1
1 James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes who are in the dispersion: Health.
| يَعْقُوبُ، عَبْدُ ٱللهِ وَٱلرَّبِّ يَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ، يُهْدِي ٱلسَّلَامَ إِلَى ٱلِٱثْنَيْ عَشَرَ سِبْطًا ٱلَّذِينَ فِي ٱلشَّتَاتِ. | ١ |
2 My brethren, count it all joy, when you fall into diverse trials;
| اِحْسِبُوهُ كُلَّ فَرَحٍ يَا إِخْوَتِي حِينَمَا تَقَعُونَ فِي تَجَارِبَ مُتَنَوِّعَةٍ، | ٢ |
3 knowing that the proof of your faith works out patience.
| عَالِمِينَ أَنَّ ٱمْتِحَانَ إِيمَانِكُمْ يُنْشِئُ صَبْرًا. | ٣ |
4 Let patience, therefore, have a perfect effect, that you may be perfect and complete, deficient in nothing.
| وَأَمَّا ٱلصَّبْرُ فَلْيَكُنْ لَهُ عَمَلٌ تَامٌّ، لِكَيْ تَكُونُوا تَامِّينَ وَكَامِلِينَ غَيْرَ نَاقِصِينَ فِي شَيْءٍ. | ٤ |
5 If any of you be deficient in wisdom, let him ask it of God: who gives to all men liberally, and upbraids not, and it shall be given to him.
| وَإِنَّمَا إِنْ كَانَ أَحَدُكُمْ تُعْوِزُهُ حِكْمَةٌ، فَلْيَطْلُبْ مِنَ ٱللهِ ٱلَّذِي يُعْطِي ٱلْجَمِيعَ بِسَخَاءٍ وَلَا يُعَيِّرُ، فَسَيُعْطَى لَهُ. | ٥ |
6 But let him ask in faith, being not at all irresolute: for he who is irresolute, is like a wave of the sea, driven by the wind and tossed.
| وَلَكِنْ لِيَطْلُبْ بِإِيمَانٍ غَيْرَ مُرْتَابٍ ٱلْبَتَّةَ، لِأَنَّ ٱلْمُرْتَابَ يُشْبِهُ مَوْجًا مِنَ ٱلْبَحْرِ تَخْبِطُهُ ٱلرِّيحُ وَتَدْفَعُهُ. | ٦ |
7 Now let not that man think, that he shall receive anything from the Lord.
| فَلَا يَظُنَّ ذَلِكَ ٱلْإِنْسَانُ أَنَّهُ يَنَالُ شَيْئًا مِنْ عِنْدِ ٱلرَّبِّ. | ٧ |
8 A man of two minds, is unstable in all his ways.
| رَجُلٌ ذُو رَأْيَيْنِ هُوَ مُتَقَلْقِلٌ فِي جَمِيعِ طُرُقِهِ. | ٨ |
9 Moreover, let the brother of humble condition glory in his exaltation,
| وَلْيَفْتَخِرِ ٱلْأَخُ ٱلْمُتَّضِعُ بِٱرْتِفَاعِهِ، | ٩ |
10 and the rich in his humiliation; for as a garden flower he shall pass away.--
| وَأَمَّا ٱلْغَنِيُّ فَبِٱتِّضَاعِهِ، لِأَنَّهُ كَزَهْرِ ٱلْعُشْبِ يَزُولُ. | ١٠ |
11 For the sun rises with a burning heat, and withers the herb, and its flower falls down, and the beauty of its appearance perishes: so also shall the rich man fade in his ways.
| لِأَنَّ ٱلشَّمْسَ أَشْرَقَتْ بِٱلْحَرِّ، فَيَبَّسَتِ ٱلْعُشْبَ، فَسَقَطَ زَهْرُهُ وَفَنِيَ جَمَالُ مَنْظَرِهِ. هَكَذَا يَذْبُلُ ٱلْغَنِيُّ أَيْضًا فِي طُرُقِهِ. | ١١ |
12 Blessed is the man who sustains trial, for becoming an approved person, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord has promised to them who love him.
| طُوبَى لِلرَّجُلِ ٱلَّذِي يَحْتَمِلُ ٱلتَّجْرِبَةَ، لِأَنَّهُ إِذَا تَزَكَّى يَنَالُ «إِكْلِيلَ ٱلْحَيَاةِ» ٱلَّذِي وَعَدَ بِهِ ٱلرَّبُّ لِلَّذِينَ يُحِبُّونَهُ. | ١٢ |
13 Let no one who is tempted say, Certainly I am tempted by God: for God is incapable of being tempted by evil things, and he tempts no one.
| لَا يَقُلْ أَحَدٌ إِذَا جُرِّبَ: «إِنِّي أُجَرَّبُ مِنْ قِبَلِ ٱللهِ»، لِأَنَّ ٱللهَ غَيْرُ مُجَرَّبٍ بِٱلشُّرُورِ، وَهُوَلَا يُجَرِّبُ أَحَدًا. | ١٣ |
14 But every one is tempted, when he is drawn away, and enticed by his own lust:
| وَلَكِنَّ كُلَّ وَاحِدٍ يُجَرَّبُ إِذَا ٱنْجَذَبَ وَٱنْخَدَعَ مِنْ شَهْوَتِهِ. | ١٤ |
15 then lust having conceived, brings forth sin, and sin, being perfected, brings forth death.
| ثُمَّ ٱلشَّهْوَةُ إِذَا حَبِلَتْ تَلِدُ خَطِيَّةً، وَٱلْخَطِيَّةُ إِذَا كَمَلَتْ تُنْتِجُ مَوْتًا. | ١٥ |
16 Be not deceived, my beloved brethren;
| لَا تَضِلُّوا يَا إِخْوَتِي ٱلْأَحِبَّاءَ. | ١٦ |
17 every good gift, and every perfect gift, is from above, descended from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variableness, nor shadow of turning.
| كُلُّ عَطِيَّةٍ صَالِحَةٍ وَكُلُّ مَوْهِبَةٍ تَامَّةٍ هِيَ مِنْ فَوْقُ، نَازِلَةٌ مِنْ عِنْدِ أَبِي ٱلْأَنْوَارِ، ٱلَّذِي لَيْسَ عِنْدَهُ تَغْيِيرٌ وَلَا ظِلُّ دَوَرَانٍ. | ١٧ |
18 Of his own will, he begot us by the word of truth, that we should be a kind of fruits of his creatures.
| شَاءَ فَوَلَدَنَا بِكَلِمَةِ ٱلْحَقِّ لِكَيْ نَكُونَ بَاكُورَةً مِنْ خَلَائِقِهِ. | ١٨ |
19 Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath;
| إِذًا يَا إِخْوَتِي ٱلْأَحِبَّاءَ، لِيَكُنْ كُلُّ إِنْسَانٍ مُسْرِعًا فِي ٱلِٱسْتِمَاعِ، مُبْطِئًا فِي ٱلتَّكَلُّمِ، مُبْطِئًا فِي ٱلْغَضَبِ، | ١٩ |
20 for the wrath of man works not out the righteousness of God.
| لِأَنَّ غَضَبَ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ لَا يَصْنَعُ بِرَّ ٱللهِ. | ٢٠ |
21 Wherefore, putting away all filthiness, and overflowing of maliciousness, embrace with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls.
| لِذَلِكَ ٱطْرَحُوا كُلَّ نَجَاسَةٍ وَكَثْرَةَ شَرٍّ، فَٱقْبَلُوا بِوَدَاعَةٍ ٱلْكَلِمَةَ ٱلْمَغْرُوسَةَ ٱلْقَادِرَةَ أَنْ تُخَلِّصَ نُفُوسَكُمْ. | ٢١ |
22 And be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves by false reasoning.
| وَلَكِنْ كُونُوا عَامِلِينَ بِٱلْكَلِمَةِ، لَا سَامِعِينَ فَقَطْ خَادِعِينَ نُفُوسَكُمْ. | ٢٢ |
23 For if any one be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like a man who views his natural face in a mirror;
| لِأَنَّهُ إِنْ كَانَ أَحَدٌ سَامِعًا لِلْكَلِمَةِ وَلَيْسَ عَامِلًا، فَذَاكَ يُشْبِهُ رَجُلًا نَاظِرًا وَجْهَ خِلْقَتِهِ فِي مِرْآةٍ، | ٢٣ |
24 for he who looks at himself and goes away, and immediately forgets what kind of person he was.
| فَإِنَّهُ نَظَرَ ذَاتَهُ وَمَضَى، وَلِلْوَقْتِ نَسِيَ مَا هُوَ. | ٢٤ |
25 But he who looks narrowly into the perfect law of liberty, and perseveres, not becoming a forgetful hearer, but a doer of its work, shall, in so doing, be happy.
| وَلَكِنْ مَنِ ٱطَّلَعَ عَلَى ٱلنَّامُوسِ ٱلْكَامِلِ - نَامُوسِ ٱلْحُرِّيَّةِ - وَثَبَتَ، وَصَارَ لَيْسَ سَامِعًا نَاسِيًا بَلْ عَامِلًا بِٱلْكَلِمَةِ، فَهَذَا يَكُونُ مَغْبُوطًا فِي عَمَلِهِ. | ٢٥ |
26 If any one among you think to be religious, who bridles not his tongue, but deceives his own heart, the religion of this person is vain.
| إِنْ كَانَ أَحَدٌ فِيكُمْ يَظُنُّ أَنَّهُ دَيِّنٌ، وَهُوَ لَيْسَ يُلْجِمُ لِسَانَهُ، بَلْ يَخْدَعُ قَلْبَهُ، فَدِيَانَةُ هَذَا بَاطِلَةٌ. | ٢٦ |
27 Pure religion, and undefiled, with God, even the Father, is this: To take care of orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep one's self unspotted from the world.
| اَلدِّيَانَةُ ٱلطَّاهِرَةُ ٱلنَّقِيَّةُ عِنْدَ ٱللهِ ٱلْآبِ هِيَ هَذِهِ: ٱفْتِقَادُ ٱلْيَتَامَى وَٱلْأَرَامِلِ فِي ضِيقَتِهِمْ، وَحِفْظُ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ نَفْسَهُ بِلَا دَنَسٍ مِنَ ٱلْعَالَمِ. | ٢٧ |
