JAMES 3	يعقوب 3
1 My brethren, let not many of you become teachers, knowing that we shall receive a stricter judgment.	1 لاَ تَكُونُوا مُعَلِّمِينَ كَثِيرِينَ يَا إِخْوَتِي، عَالِمِينَ أَنَّنَا نَأْخُذُ دَيْنُونَةً أَعْظَمَ!
2 For we all stumble in many things. If anyone does not stumble in word, he is a perfect man, able also to bridle the whole body.	2 لأَنَّنَا فِي أَشْيَاءَ كَثِيرَةٍ نَعْثُرُ جَمِيعُنَا. إِنْ كَانَ أَحَدٌ لاَ يَعْثُرُ فِي الْكَلاَمِ فَذَاكَ رَجُلٌ كَامِلٌ، قَادِرٌ أَنْ يُلْجِمَ كُلَّ الْجَسَدِ أَيْضاً.
3 Indeed, we put bits in horses' mouths that they may obey us, and we turn their whole body.	3 هُوَذَا الْخَيْلُ، نَضَعُ اللُّجُمَ فِي أَفْوَاهِهَا لِكَيْ تُطَاوِعَنَا، فَنُدِيرَ جِسْمَهَا كُلَّهُ.
4 Look also at ships: although they are so large and are driven by fierce winds, they are turned by a very small rudder wherever the pilot desires.	4 هُوَذَا السُّفُنُ أَيْضاً، وَهِيَ عَظِيمَةٌ بِهَذَا الْمِقْدَارِ، وَتَسُوقُهَا رِيَاحٌ عَاصِفَةٌ، تُدِيرُهَا دَفَّةٌ صَغِيرَةٌ جِدّاً إِلَى حَيْثُمَا شَاءَ قَصْدُ الْمُدِيرِ.
5 Even so the tongue is a little member and boasts great things. See how great a forest a little fire kindles!	5 هَكَذَا اللِّسَانُ أَيْضاً، هُوَ عُضْوٌ صَغِيرٌ وَيَفْتَخِرُ مُتَعَظِّماً. هُوَذَا نَارٌ قَلِيلَةٌ، أَيَّ وُقُودٍ تُحْرِقُ؟
6 And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity. The tongue is so set among our members that it defiles the whole body, and sets on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire by hell.	6 فَاللِّسَانُ نَارٌ! عَالَمُ الإِثْمِ. هَكَذَا جُعِلَ فِي أَعْضَائِنَا اللِّسَانُ، الَّذِي يُدَنِّسُ الْجِسْمَ كُلَّهُ، وَيُضْرِمُ دَائِرَةَ الْكَوْنِ، وَيُضْرَمُ مِنْ جَهَنَّمَ.
7 For every kind of beast and bird, of reptile and creature of the sea, is tamed and has been tamed by mankind.	7 لأَنَّ كُلَّ طَبْعٍ لِلْوُحُوشِ وَالطُّيُورِ وَالّزَحَّافَاتِ وَالْبَحْرِيَّاتِ يُذَلَّلُ، وَقَدْ تَذَلَّلَ لِلطَّبْعِ الْبَشَرِيِّ.
8 But no man can tame the tongue. It is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison.	8 وَأَمَّا اللِّسَانُ فَلاَ يَسْتَطِيعُ أَحَدٌ مِنَ النَّاسِ أَنْ يُذَلِّلَهُ. هُوَ شَرٌّ لاَ يُضْبَطُ، مَمْلُّوٌ سُمّاً مُمِيتاً.
9 With it we bless our God and Father, and with it we curse men, who have been made in the similitude of God.	9 بِهِ نُبَارِكُ اللَّهَ الآبَ، وَبِهِ نَلْعَنُ النَّاسَ الَّذِينَ قَدْ تَكَوَّنُوا عَلَى شِبْهِ اللَّهِ.
10 Out of the same mouth proceed blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not to be so.	10 مِنَ الْفَمِ الْوَاحِدِ تَخْرُجُ بَرَكَةٌ وَلَعْنَةٌ! لاَ يَصْلُحُ يَا إِخْوَتِي أَنْ تَكُونَ هَذِهِ الْأُمُورُ هَكَذَا!
11 Does a spring send forth fresh water and bitter from the same opening?	11 أَلَعَلَّ يَنْبُوعاً يُنْبِعُ مِنْ نَفْسِ عَيْنٍ وَاحِدَةٍ الْعَذْبَ وَالْمُرَّ؟
12 Can a fig tree, my brethren, bear olives, or a grapevine bear figs? Thus no spring yields both salt water and fresh.	12 هَلْ تَقْدِرُ يَا إِخْوَتِي تِينَةٌ أَنْ تَصْنَعَ زَيْتُوناً، أَوْ كَرْمَةٌ تِيناً؟ وَلاَ كَذَلِكَ يَنْبُوعٌ يَصْنَعُ مَاءً مَالِحاً وَعَذْباً!
13 Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show by good conduct that his works are done in the meekness of wisdom.	13 مَنْ هُوَ حَكِيمٌ وَعَالِمٌ بَيْنَكُمْ فَلْيُرِ أَعْمَالَهُ بِالتَّصَرُّفِ الْحَسَنِ فِي وَدَاعَةِ الْحِكْمَةِ.
14 But if you have bitter envy and self-seeking in your hearts, do not boast and lie against the truth.	14 وَلَكِنْ إِنْ كَانَ لَكُمْ غَيْرَةٌ مُرَّةٌ وَتَحَّزُبٌ فِي قُلُوبِكُمْ، فَلاَ تَفْتَخِرُوا وَتَكْذِبُوا عَلَى الْحَقِّ.
15 This wisdom does not descend from above, but is earthly, sensual, demonic.	15 لَيْسَتْ هَذِهِ الْحِكْمَةُ نَازِلَةً مِنْ فَوْقُ، بَلْ هِيَ أَرْضِيَّةٌ نَفْسَانِيَّةٌ شَيْطَانِيَّةٌ.
16 For where envy and self-seeking exist, confusion and every evil thing are there.	16 لأَنَّهُ حَيْثُ الْغَيْرَةُ وَالتَّحَّزُبُ هُنَاكَ التَّشْوِيشُ وَكُلُّ أَمْرٍ رَدِيءٍ.
17 But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, willing to yield, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality and without hypocrisy.	17 وَأَمَّا الْحِكْمَةُ الَّتِي مِنْ فَوْقُ فَهِيَ أَوَّلاً طَاهِرَةٌ، ثُمَّ مُسَالِمَةٌ، مُتَرَفِّقَةٌ، مُذْعِنَةٌ، مَمْلُوَّةٌ رَحْمَةً وَأَثْمَاراً صَالِحَةً، عَدِيمَةُ الرَّيْبِ وَالرِّيَاءِ.
18 Now the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace.	18 وَثَمَرُ الْبِرِّ يُزْرَعُ فِي السَّلاَمِ مِنَ الَّذِينَ يَفْعَلُونَ السَّلاَمَ.
