James 5
1 Come now, you rich, weep and cry aloud for your miseries that are coming on you.
| أَيُّهَا الأَغْنِيَاءُ، هَيَّا الآنَ ابْكُوا مُوَلْوِلِينَ بِسَبَبِ مَا يَنْتَظِرُكُمْ مِنْ أَهْوَالٍ وَشَقَاءٍ. | ١ |
2 Your riches are corrupted and your garments are moth-eaten.
| إِنَّ ثَرْوَاتِكُمُ الْكَثِيرَةَ قَدْ فَسَدَتْ، وَثِيَابَكُمُ الْفَاخِرَةَ قَدْ أَكَلَهَا الْعُثُّ | ٢ |
3 Your gold and your silver are corroded, and their corrosion will be for a testimony against you, and will eat your flesh like fire. You have laid up your treasure in the last days.
| ذَهَبُكُمْ وَفِضَّتُكُمْ قَدْ تَآكَلا، وَسَيَكُونُ تَآكُلُهُمَا شَاهِداً ضِدَّكُمْ، وَيَأْكُلُ لَحْمَكُمْ كَنَارٍ جَمَعْتُمُوهَا ثَرْوَةً لِلأَيَّامِ الأَخِيرَةِ؟ | ٣ |
4 Look, the wages of the laborers who mowed your fields, which you have kept back by fraud, cry out, and the cries of those who reaped have entered into the ears of the Lord of hosts.
| وَهذِهِ أُجْرَةُ الْعُمَّالِ الَّذِينَ حَصَدُوا حُقُولَكُمْ، تِلْكَ الأُجْرَةُ الَّتِي مَازِلْتُمْ تَحْبِسُونَهَا عَنْهُمْ ظُلْماً، إِنَّهَا تَصْرُخُ، وَصُرَاخُ أُولئِكَ الْعُمَّالِ أَنْفُسِهِمْ قَدْ سَمِعَهُ رَبُّ الْجُنُودِ! | ٤ |
5 You have lived delicately on the earth, and taken your pleasure. You have nourished your hearts in a day of slaughter.
| أَنْتُمْ تَعِيشُونَ عَلَى الأَرْضِ عِيشَةَ رَفَاهِيَّةٍ وَانْصِرَافٍ إِلَى الْمَبَاهِجِ وَاللَّذَّاتِ؛ وَقَدْ أَصْبَحَتْ قُلُوبُكُمْ سَمِينَةً كَأَنَّهَا جَاهِزَةٌ لِيَوْمِ الذَّبْحِ. | ٥ |
6 You have condemned, you have murdered the righteous one. He does not resist you.
| وَالْبَرِيءُ حَكَمْتُمْ عَلَيْهِ وَقَتَلْتُمُوهُ، وَهُوَ لَا يُقَاوِمُكُمْ! | ٦ |
7 Be patient therefore, brothers, until the coming of the Lord. Look, the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth, being patient over it, until it receives the early and late rain.
| 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 |
8 You also be patient. Establish your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is near.
| فَاصْبِرُوا أَنْتُمْ إِذَنْ، وَشَدِّدُوا قُلُوبَكُمْ لأَنَّ عَوْدَةَ الرَّبِّ قَدْ صَارَتْ قَرِيبَةً. | ٨ |
9 Do not grumble, brothers, against one another, so that you won't be judged. Look, the judge stands at the door.
| أَيُّهَا الإِخْوَةُ، لَا تَتَذَمَّرُوا بَعْضُكُمْ عَلَى بَعْضٍ، لِكَيْ لَا يَصْدُرَ الْحُكْمُ ضِدَّكُمْ. تَذَكَّرُوا دَائِماً أَنَّ الدَّيَّانَ قَرِيبٌ جِدّاً، إِنَّهُ أَمَامَ الْبَابِ. | ٩ |
10 Take, brothers, for an example of suffering and of patience, the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord.
| وَاقْتَدُوا، يَا إِخْوَتِي، فِي احْتِمَالِ الآلامِ وَالصَّبْرِ عَلَيْهَا، بِالأَنْبِيَاءِ الَّذِينَ تَكَلَّمُوا بِاسْمِ الرَّبِّ. | ١٠ |
11 Look, we call them blessed who endured. You have heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the Lord in the outcome, and how the Lord is full of compassion and mercy.
| 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 |
12 But above all things, my brothers, do not swear, neither by heaven, nor by the earth, nor by any other oath; but let your "yes" be "yes," and your "no," "no;" so that you do not fall under judgment.
| 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 |
13 Is anyone among you suffering? He should pray. Is anyone cheerful? He should sing praises.
| هَلْ بَيْنَكُمْ مَنْ يَتَأَلَّمُ؟ فَلْيُصَلِّ! وَهَلْ بَيْنَكُمْ مَنْ هُوَ سَعِيدٌ؟ فَلْيُرَتِّلْ! | ١٣ |
14 Is anyone among you sick? He should call for the elders of the church, and they should pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord.
| وَمَنْ كَانَ مِنْكُمْ مَرِيضاً، فَلْيَسْتَدْعِ شُيُوخَ الْكَنِيسَةِ لِيُصَلُّوا مِنْ أَجْلِهِ وَيَدْهُنُوهُ بِزَيْتٍ بِاسْمِ الرَّبِّ. | ١٤ |
15 And the prayer of faith will save the one who is sick, and the Lord will raise him up. If he has committed sins, he will be forgiven.
| فَالصَّلاةُ الْمَرْفُوعَةُ بِإِيمَانٍ تَشْفِي الْمَرِيضَ، إِذْ يُعِيدُ الرَّبُّ إِلَيْهِ الصِّحَّةَ. وَإِنْ كَانَ مَرَضُهُ بِسَبَبِ خَطِيئَةٍ مَا، يَغْفِرُهَا الرَّبُّ لَهُ. | ١٥ |
16 Therefore confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerfully effective.
| لِيَعْتَرِفْ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْكُمْ لأَخِيهِ بِزَلّاتِهِ، وَصَلُّوا بَعْضُكُمْ لأَجْلِ بَعْضٍ، حَتَّى تُشْفَوْا. إِنَّ الصَّلاةَ الْحَارَّةَ الَّتِي يَرْفَعُهَا الْبَارُّ لَهَا فَعَّالِيَّةٌ عَظِيمَةٌ. | ١٦ |
17 Eliya was a human being with a nature like ours, and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain, and it did not rain on the land for three years and six months.
| 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 |
18 He prayed again, and the sky gave rain, and the earth brought forth its fruit.
| ثُمَّ صَلَّى صَلاةً ثَانِيَةً، فَأَمْطَرَتِ السَّمَاءُ وَأَنْتَجَتِ الأَرْضُ ثِمَارَهَا! | ١٨ |
19 My brothers, if any among you wanders from the truth, and someone turns him back,
| أَيُّهَا الإِخْوَةُ، إِنْ ضَلَّ أَحَدٌ بَيْنَكُمْ عَنِ الْحَقِّ، وَرَدَّهُ آخَرُ، | ١٩ |
20 let him know that he who turns a sinner from the error of his way will save his soul from death, and will cover a multitude of sins.
| فَلْيَتَأَكَّدْ أَنَّ الَّذِي يَرُدُّ خَاطِئاً عَنْ ضَلالِ مَسْلَكِهِ، فَإِنَّمَا يُنْقِذُ نَفْساً مِنَ الْمَوْتِ، وَيَسْتُرُ خَطَايَا كَثِيرَةً! | ٢٠ |
