雅各書

第1章

1 作神和主耶穌基督僕人的雅各請散住十二個支派之人的安。

2 我的弟兄們,你們落在諸般試探[divers temptations]中,都要以為大喜樂;

3 因為知道你們的信心經過試驗,就生忍耐。

4 但忍耐也當成功,使你們成全、完備,毫無缺欠。

5 你們中間若有缺少智慧的,應當求那厚賜與眾人、也不斥責人的神,主就必賜給他。

6 只要憑著信心求,一點不疑惑;因為那疑惑的人,就像海中的波浪,被風吹動翻騰。

7 這樣的人不要想從主那裏得甚麼。

8 心懷二意的人,在他一切所行的路上都沒有定見。

9 卑微的兄弟[brother]升高,就該喜樂;

10 富足的降卑,也該如此;因為他必要過去,如同草上的花一樣。

11 太陽出來,熱風颳起,草就枯乾,花也凋謝,美容就消沒了;那富足的人,在他所行的事上也要這樣衰殘。

12 忍受試探的人是有福的,因為他經過試驗以後,必得生命的冠冕,這是主應許給那些愛他之人的。

13 人被試探,不可說:「我是被神試探。」因為神不能被惡試探,他也不試探人。

14 但各人被試探,乃是被自己的私慾牽引誘惑的。

15 私慾既懷了胎,就生出罪來;罪既長成,就生出死來。

16 我親愛的弟兄們,不要看錯了。

17 各樣美善的恩賜和各樣全備的賞賜都是從上頭來的,從眾光之父那裏降下來的;在他並沒有改變,也沒有轉動的影兒。

18 他按自己的旨意,用真理的道[word of truth]生了我們,叫我們在他的造物[creatures]好作[should be]初熟的果子。

19 因此[Wherefore],我親愛的弟兄們,你們各人要快快的聽,慢慢的說,慢慢的動怒。

20 因為人的怒氣並不成就神的義。

21 所以你們要脫去一切的污穢和盈餘的邪惡,存溫柔的心領受那所栽種的道,就是能救你們元魂[souls]的道。

22 只是你們要行道,不要單單聽道,自己欺哄自己。

23 因為聽道而不行道的,就像人對著鏡子看自己本來的面目,

24 看見,走後,隨即忘了他的相貌如何。

25 唯有詳細察看那全備、使人自由之律法的,並且時常如此,這人既不是聽了就忘,乃是實在行出來,就在他所行的事上必然得福。

26 你們中間[among you]若有人自以為虔誠,卻不勒住他的舌頭,反欺哄自己的心,這人的虔誠是虛的。

27 在神我們的父面前,那純潔[pure]沒有玷污的虔誠,就是看顧在患難中無父的和[fatherless and]寡婦,並且保守自己不為世俗玷污[unspotted from the world]

Chapter 1

1 James,2385 a servant1401 of God2316 and2532 of the Lord2962 Jesus2424 Christ,5547 to the3588 twelve1427 tribes5443 which3588 are scattered abroad,1722 1290 greeting.5463

2 My3450 brethren,80 count2233 it all3956 joy5479 when3752 ye fall into4045 divers4164 temptations;3986

3 Knowing1097 this, that3754 the3588 trying1383 of your5216 faith4102 worketh2716 patience.5281

4 But1161 let patience5281 have2192 her perfect5046 work,2041 that2443 ye may be5600 perfect5046 and2532 entire,3648 wanting3007 nothing.3367

5 1161 If1487 any5100 of you5216 lack3007 wisdom,4678 let him ask154 of3844 God,2316 that giveth1325 to all3956 men liberally,574 and2532 upbraideth3679 not;3361 and2532 it shall be given1325 him.846

6 But1161 let him ask154 in1722 faith,4102 nothing3367 wavering.1252 For1063 he that wavereth1252 is like1503 a wave2830 of the sea2281 driven with the wind416 and2532 tossed.4494

7 For1063 let not3361 that1565 man444 think3633 that3754 he shall receive2983 any thing5100 of3844 the3588 Lord.2962

8 A double minded1374 man435 is unstable182 in1722 all3956 his848 ways.3598

9 1161 Let the3588 brother80 of low degree5011 rejoice2744 in1722 that he848 is exalted: 5311

10 But1161 the3588 rich,4145 in1722 that he848 is made low:5014 because3754 as5613 the flower438 of the grass5528 he shall pass away.3928

11 For1063 the3588 sun2246 is no sooner risen393 with4862 a burning heat,2742 but2532 it withereth3583 the3588 grass,5528 and2532 the3588 flower438 thereof846 falleth,1601 and2532 the3588 grace2143 of the3588 fashion4383 of it846 perisheth:622 so3779 also2532 shall the3588 rich man4145 fade away3133 in1722 his848 ways.4197

12 Blessed3107 is the man435 that3739 endureth5278 temptation:3986 for3754 when he is1096 tried,1384 he shall receive2983 the3588 crown4735 of life,2222 which3739 the3588 Lord2962 hath promised1861 to them that love25 him.846

13 Let no man3367 say3004 when he is tempted,3985 I am tempted3985 of575 God:2316 for1063 God2316 cannot be tempted2076 551 with evil,2556 neither1161 tempteth3985 he848 any man: 3762

14 But1161 every man1538 is tempted,3985 when he is drawn away1828 of5259 his own2398 lust,1939 and2532 enticed.1185

15 Then1534 when lust1939 hath conceived,4815 it bringeth forth5088 sin:266 and1161 sin,266 when it is finished,658 bringeth forth616 death.2288

16 Do not3361 err,4105 my3450 beloved27 brethren.80

17 Every3956 good18 gift1394 and2532 every3956 perfect5046 gift1434 is2076 from above,509 and cometh down2597 from575 the3588 Father3962 of lights,5457 with3844 whom3739 is1762 no3756 variableness,3883 neither2228 shadow644 of turning.5157

18 Of his own will1014 begat616 he us2248 with the word3056 of truth,225 that we2248 should be1511 a kind5100 of firstfruits536 of his848 creatures.2938

19 Wherefore,5620 my3450 beloved27 brethren,80 let every3956 man444 be2077 swift5036 to hear,191 slow1021 to speak,2980 slow1021 to1519 wrath: 3709

20 For1063 the wrath3709 of man435 worketh2716 not3756 the righteousness1343 of God.2316

21 Wherefore1352 lay apart659 all3956 filthiness4507 and2532 superfluity4050 of naughtiness,2549 and receive1209 with1722 meekness4240 the3588 engrafted1721 word,3056 which is able1410 to save4982 your5216 souls.5590

22 But1161 be1096 ye doers4163 of the word,3056 and2532 not3361 hearers202 only,3440 deceiving3884 your own selves.1438

23 For3754 if any1536 be2076 a hearer202 of the word,3056 and2532 not3756 a doer,4163 he3778 is like unto1503 a man435 beholding2657 his846 natural1078 face4383 in1722 a glass: 2072

24 For1063 he beholdeth2657 himself,1438 and2532 goeth his way,565 and2532 straightway2112 forgetteth1950 what manner of man3697 he was.2258

25 But1161 whoso looketh3879 into1519 the perfect5046 law3551 of3588 liberty,1657 and2532 continueth3887 therein, he3778 being1096 not3756 a forgetful1953 hearer,202 but235 a doer4163 of the work,2041 this man3778 shall be2071 blessed3107 in1722 his848 deed.4162

26 If any man1536 among1722 you5213 seem1380 to be1511 religious,2357 and bridleth5468 not3361 his848 tongue,1100 but235 deceiveth538 his own848 heart,2588 this man's5127 religion2356 is vain.3152

27 Pure2513 religion2356 and2532 undefiled283 before3844 God2316 and2532 the Father3962 is2076 this,3778 To visit1980 the fatherless3737 and2532 widows5503 in1722 their846 affliction,2347 and to keep5083 himself1438 unspotted784 from575 the3588 world.2889

1 James,2385 a servant1401 of God2316 and2532 of the Lord2962 Jesus2424 Christ,5547 to the3588 twelve1427 tribes5443 which3588 are scattered abroad,1722 1290 greeting.5463

2 我的弟兄們,你們落在諸般試探[divers temptations]中,都要以為大喜樂;

2 My3450 brethren,80 count2233 it all3956 joy5479 when3752 ye fall into4045 divers4164 temptations;3986

3 因為知道你們的信心經過試驗,就生忍耐。

3 Knowing1097 this, that3754 the3588 trying1383 of your5216 faith4102 worketh2716 patience.5281

4 但忍耐也當成功,使你們成全、完備,毫無缺欠。

4 But1161 let patience5281 have2192 her perfect5046 work,2041 that2443 ye may be5600 perfect5046 and2532 entire,3648 wanting3007 nothing.3367

5 你們中間若有缺少智慧的,應當求那厚賜與眾人、也不斥責人的神,主就必賜給他。

5 1161 If1487 any5100 of you5216 lack3007 wisdom,4678 let him ask154 of3844 God,2316 that giveth1325 to all3956 men liberally,574 and2532 upbraideth3679 not;3361 and2532 it shall be given1325 him.846

6 只要憑著信心求,一點不疑惑;因為那疑惑的人,就像海中的波浪,被風吹動翻騰。

6 But1161 let him ask154 in1722 faith,4102 nothing3367 wavering.1252 For1063 he that wavereth1252 is like1503 a wave2830 of the sea2281 driven with the wind416 and2532 tossed.4494

7 這樣的人不要想從主那裏得甚麼。

7 For1063 let not3361 that1565 man444 think3633 that3754 he shall receive2983 any thing5100 of3844 the3588 Lord.2962

8 心懷二意的人,在他一切所行的路上都沒有定見。

8 A double minded1374 man435 is unstable182 in1722 all3956 his848 ways.3598

9 卑微的兄弟[brother]升高,就該喜樂;

9 1161 Let the3588 brother80 of low degree5011 rejoice2744 in1722 that he848 is exalted: 5311

10 富足的降卑,也該如此;因為他必要過去,如同草上的花一樣。

10 But1161 the3588 rich,4145 in1722 that he848 is made low:5014 because3754 as5613 the flower438 of the grass5528 he shall pass away.3928

11 太陽出來,熱風颳起,草就枯乾,花也凋謝,美容就消沒了;那富足的人,在他所行的事上也要這樣衰殘。

11 For1063 the3588 sun2246 is no sooner risen393 with4862 a burning heat,2742 but2532 it withereth3583 the3588 grass,5528 and2532 the3588 flower438 thereof846 falleth,1601 and2532 the3588 grace2143 of the3588 fashion4383 of it846 perisheth:622 so3779 also2532 shall the3588 rich man4145 fade away3133 in1722 his848 ways.4197

12 忍受試探的人是有福的,因為他經過試驗以後,必得生命的冠冕,這是主應許給那些愛他之人的。

12 Blessed3107 is the man435 that3739 endureth5278 temptation:3986 for3754 when he is1096 tried,1384 he shall receive2983 the3588 crown4735 of life,2222 which3739 the3588 Lord2962 hath promised1861 to them that love25 him.846

13 人被試探,不可說:「我是被神試探。」因為神不能被惡試探,他也不試探人。

13 Let no man3367 say3004 when he is tempted,3985 I am tempted3985 of575 God:2316 for1063 God2316 cannot be tempted2076 551 with evil,2556 neither1161 tempteth3985 he848 any man: 3762

14 但各人被試探,乃是被自己的私慾牽引誘惑的。

14 But1161 every man1538 is tempted,3985 when he is drawn away1828 of5259 his own2398 lust,1939 and2532 enticed.1185

15 私慾既懷了胎,就生出罪來;罪既長成,就生出死來。

15 Then1534 when lust1939 hath conceived,4815 it bringeth forth5088 sin:266 and1161 sin,266 when it is finished,658 bringeth forth616 death.2288

16 我親愛的弟兄們,不要看錯了。

16 Do not3361 err,4105 my3450 beloved27 brethren.80

17 各樣美善的恩賜和各樣全備的賞賜都是從上頭來的,從眾光之父那裏降下來的;在他並沒有改變,也沒有轉動的影兒。

17 Every3956 good18 gift1394 and2532 every3956 perfect5046 gift1434 is2076 from above,509 and cometh down2597 from575 the3588 Father3962 of lights,5457 with3844 whom3739 is1762 no3756 variableness,3883 neither2228 shadow644 of turning.5157

18 他按自己的旨意,用真理的道[word of truth]生了我們,叫我們在他的造物[creatures]好作[should be]初熟的果子。

18 Of his own will1014 begat616 he us2248 with the word3056 of truth,225 that we2248 should be1511 a kind5100 of firstfruits536 of his848 creatures.2938

19 因此[Wherefore],我親愛的弟兄們,你們各人要快快的聽,慢慢的說,慢慢的動怒。

19 Wherefore,5620 my3450 beloved27 brethren,80 let every3956 man444 be2077 swift5036 to hear,191 slow1021 to speak,2980 slow1021 to1519 wrath: 3709

20 因為人的怒氣並不成就神的義。

20 For1063 the wrath3709 of man435 worketh2716 not3756 the righteousness1343 of God.2316

21 所以你們要脫去一切的污穢和盈餘的邪惡,存溫柔的心領受那所栽種的道,就是能救你們元魂[souls]的道。

21 Wherefore1352 lay apart659 all3956 filthiness4507 and2532 superfluity4050 of naughtiness,2549 and receive1209 with1722 meekness4240 the3588 engrafted1721 word,3056 which is able1410 to save4982 your5216 souls.5590

22 只是你們要行道,不要單單聽道,自己欺哄自己。

22 But1161 be1096 ye doers4163 of the word,3056 and2532 not3361 hearers202 only,3440 deceiving3884 your own selves.1438

23 因為聽道而不行道的,就像人對著鏡子看自己本來的面目,

23 For3754 if any1536 be2076 a hearer202 of the word,3056 and2532 not3756 a doer,4163 he3778 is like unto1503 a man435 beholding2657 his846 natural1078 face4383 in1722 a glass: 2072

24 看見,走後,隨即忘了他的相貌如何。

24 For1063 he beholdeth2657 himself,1438 and2532 goeth his way,565 and2532 straightway2112 forgetteth1950 what manner of man3697 he was.2258

25 唯有詳細察看那全備、使人自由之律法的,並且時常如此,這人既不是聽了就忘,乃是實在行出來,就在他所行的事上必然得福。

25 But1161 whoso looketh3879 into1519 the perfect5046 law3551 of3588 liberty,1657 and2532 continueth3887 therein, he3778 being1096 not3756 a forgetful1953 hearer,202 but235 a doer4163 of the work,2041 this man3778 shall be2071 blessed3107 in1722 his848 deed.4162

26 你們中間[among you]若有人自以為虔誠,卻不勒住他的舌頭,反欺哄自己的心,這人的虔誠是虛的。

26 If any man1536 among1722 you5213 seem1380 to be1511 religious,2357 and bridleth5468 not3361 his848 tongue,1100 but235 deceiveth538 his own848 heart,2588 this man's5127 religion2356 is vain.3152

27 在神我們的父面前,那純潔[pure]沒有玷污的虔誠,就是看顧在患難中無父的和[fatherless and]寡婦,並且保守自己不為世俗玷污[unspotted from the world]

27 Pure2513 religion2356 and2532 undefiled283 before3844 God2316 and2532 the Father3962 is2076 this,3778 To visit1980 the fatherless3737 and2532 widows5503 in1722 their846 affliction,2347 and to keep5083 himself1438 unspotted784 from575 the3588 world.2889
