JAMES 1	يعقوب 1
1 James, a bondservant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, To the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad: Greetings.	1 يَعْقُوبُ، عَبْدُ اللَّهِ وَالرَّبِّ يَسُوعَ الْمَسِيحِ، يُهْدِي السَّلاَمَ إِلَى الاِثْنَيْ عَشَرَ سِبْطاً الَّذِينَ فِي الشَّتَاتِ.
2 My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials,	2 اِحْسِبُوهُ كُلَّ فَرَحٍ يَا إِخْوَتِي حِينَمَا تَقَعُونَ فِي تَجَارِبَ مُتَنَّوِعَةٍ،
3 knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience.	3 عَالِمِينَ أَنَّ امْتِحَانَ إِيمَانِكُمْ يُنْشِئُ صَبْراً.
4 But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing.	4 وَأَمَّا الصَّبْرُ فَلْيَكُنْ لَهُ عَمَلٌ تَامٌّ، لِكَيْ تَكُونُوا تَامِّينَ وَكَامِلِينَ غَيْرَ نَاقِصِينَ فِي شَيْءٍ.
5 If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him.	5 وَإِنَّمَا إِنْ كَانَ أَحَدُكُمْ تُعْوِزُهُ حِكْمَةٌ فَلْيَطْلُبْ مِنَ اللَّهِ الَّذِي يُعْطِي الْجَمِيعَ بِسَخَاءٍ وَلاَ يُعَيِّرُ، فَسَيُعْطَى لَهُ.
6 But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind.	6 وَلَكِنْ لِيَطْلُبْ بِإِيمَانٍ غَيْرَ مُرْتَابٍ الْبَتَّةَ، لأَنَّ الْمُرْتَابَ يُشْبِهُ مَوْجاً مِنَ الْبَحْرِ تَخْبِطُهُ الرِّيحُ وَتَدْفَعُهُ.
7 For let not that man suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord;	7 فَلاَ يَظُنَّ ذَلِكَ الإِنْسَانُ أَنَّهُ يَنَالُ شَيْئاً مِنْ عِنْدِ الرَّبِّ.
8 he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.	8 رَجُلٌ ذُو رَأْيَيْنِ هُوَ مُتَقَلْقِلٌ فِي جَمِيعِ طُرُقِهِ.
9 Let the lowly brother glory in his exaltation,	9 وَلْيَفْتَخِرِ الأَخُ الْمُتَّضِعُ بِارْتِفَاعِهِ،
10 but the rich in his humiliation, because as a flower of the field he will pass away.	10 وَأَمَّا الْغَنِيُّ فَبِاتِّضَاعِهِ، لأَنَّهُ كَزَهْرِ الْعُشْبِ يَزُولُ.
11 For no sooner has the sun risen with a burning heat than it withers the grass; its flower falls, and its beautiful appearance perishes. So the rich man also will fade away in his pursuits.	11 لأَنَّ الشَّمْسَ أَشْرَقَتْ بِالْحَرِّ، فَيَبَّسَتِ الْعُشْبَ، فَسَقَطَ زَهْرُهُ وَفَنِيَ جَمَالُ مَنْظَرِهِ. هَكَذَا يَذْبُلُ الْغَنِيُّ أَيْضاً فِي طُرُقِهِ.
12 Blessed is the man who endures temptation; for when he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him.	12 طُوبَى لِلرَّجُلِ الَّذِي يَحْتَمِلُ التَّجْرِبَةَ، لأَنَّهُ إِذَا تَزَكَّى يَنَالُ «إِكْلِيلَ الْحَيَاةِ» الَّذِي وَعَدَ بِهِ الرَّبُّ لِلَّذِينَ يُحِبُّونَهُ.
13 Let no one say when he is tempted, "I am tempted by God"; for God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does He Himself tempt anyone.	13 لاَ يَقُلْ أَحَدٌ إِذَا جُرِّبَ إِنِّي أُجَرَّبُ مِنْ قِبَلِ اللَّهِ، لأَنَّ اللَّهَ غَيْرُ مُجَرَّبٍ بِالشُّرُورِ وَهُوَ لاَ يُجَرِّبُ أَحَداً.
14 But each one is tempted when he is drawn away by his own desires and enticed.	14 وَلَكِنَّ كُلَّ وَاحِدٍ يُجَرَّبُ إِذَا انْجَذَبَ وَانْخَدَعَ مِنْ شَهْوَتِهِ.
15 Then, when desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, brings forth death.	15 ثُمَّ الشَّهْوَةُ إِذَا حَبِلَتْ تَلِدُ خَطِيَّةً، وَالْخَطِيَّةُ إِذَا كَمُلَتْ تُنْتِجُ مَوْتاً.
16 Do not be deceived, my beloved brethren.	16 لاَ تَضِلُّوا يَا إِخْوَتِي الأَحِبَّاءَ.
17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning.	17 كُلُّ عَطِيَّةٍ صَالِحَةٍ وَكُلُّ مَوْهِبَةٍ تَامَّةٍ هِيَ مِنْ فَوْقُ، نَازِلَةٌ مِنْ عِنْدِ أَبِي الأَنْوَارِ، الَّذِي لَيْسَ عِنْدَهُ تَغْيِيرٌ وَلاَ ظِلُّ دَوَرَانٍ.
18 Of His own will He brought us forth by the word of truth, that we might be a kind of firstfruits of His creatures.	18 شَاءَ فَوَلَدَنَا بِكَلِمَةِ الْحَقِّ لِكَيْ نَكُونَ بَاكُورَةً مِنْ خَلاَئِقِهِ.
19 So then, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath;	19 إِذاً يَا إِخْوَتِي الأَحِبَّاءَ، لِيَكُنْ كُلُّ إِنْسَانٍ مُسْرِعاً فِي الاِسْتِمَاعِ، مُبْطِئاً فِي التَّكَلُّمِ، مُبْطِئاً فِي الْغَضَبِ،
20 for the wrath of man does not produce the righteousness of God.	20 لأَنَّ غَضَبَ الإِنْسَانِ لاَ يَصْنَعُ بِرَّ اللَّهِ.
21 Therefore lay aside all filthiness and overflow of wickedness, and receive with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls.	21 لِذَلِكَ اطْرَحُوا كُلَّ نَجَاسَةٍ وَكَثْرَةَ شَرٍّ. فَاقْبَلُوا بِوَدَاعَةٍ الْكَلِمَةَ الْمَغْرُوسَةَ الْقَادِرَةَ أَنْ تُخَلِّصَ نُفُوسَكُمْ.
22 But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.	22 وَلَكِنْ كُونُوا عَامِلِينَ بِالْكَلِمَةِ، لاَ سَامِعِينَ فَقَطْ خَادِعِينَ نُفُوسَكُمْ.
23 For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man observing his natural face in a mirror;	23 لأَنَّهُ إِنْ كَانَ أَحَدٌ سَامِعاً لِلْكَلِمَةِ وَلَيْسَ عَامِلاً، فَذَاكَ يُشْبِهُ رَجُلاً نَاظِراً وَجْهَ خِلْقَتِهِ فِي مِرْآةٍ،
24 for he observes himself, goes away, and immediately forgets what kind of man he was.	24 فَإِنَّهُ نَظَرَ ذَاتَهُ وَمَضَى، وَلِلْوَقْتِ نَسِيَ مَا هُوَ.
25 But he who looks into the perfect law of liberty and continues in it, and is not a forgetful hearer but a doer of the work, this one will be blessed in what he does.	25 وَلَكِنْ مَنِ اطَّلَعَ عَلَى النَّامُوسِ الْكَامِلِ - نَامُوسِ الْحُرِّيَّةِ - وَثَبَتَ، وَصَارَ لَيْسَ سَامِعاً نَاسِياً بَلْ عَامِلاً بِالْكَلِمَةِ، فَهَذَا يَكُونُ مَغْبُوطاً فِي عَمَلِهِ.
26 If anyone among you thinks he is religious, and does not bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this one's religion is useless.	26 إِنْ كَانَ أَحَدٌ فِيكُمْ يَظُنُّ أَنَّهُ دَيِّنٌ، وَهُوَ لَيْسَ يُلْجِمُ لِسَانَهُ، بَلْ يَخْدَعُ قَلْبَهُ، فَدِيَانَةُ هَذَا بَاطِلَةٌ.
27 Pure and undefiled religion before God and the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their trouble, and to keep oneself unspotted from the world.	27 اَلدِّيَانَةُ الطَّاهِرَةُ النَّقِيَّةُ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ الآبِ هِيَ هَذِهِ: افْتِقَادُ الْيَتَامَى وَالأَرَامِلِ فِي ضِيقَتِهِمْ، وَحِفْظُ الإِنْسَانِ نَفْسَهُ بِلاَ دَنَسٍ مِنَ الْعَالَمِ.
