James 3

Berean Standard Bible tier 2New Arabic Version (Book of Life) tier 3
BSB

1 Not many of you should become teachers, my brothers, because you know that we who teach will be judged more strictly.

NAV

1 يَا إِخْوَتِي، لَا تَتَسَابَقُوا كَيْ تَجْعَلُوا أَنْفُسَكُمْ مُعَلِّمِينَ لِغَيْرِكُمْ فَتَزِيدُوا عَدَدَ الْمُعَلِّمِينَ! وَاذْكُرُوا أَنَّنَا، نَحْنُ الْمُعَلِّمِينَ، سَوْفَ نُحَاسَبُ حِسَاباً أَقْسَى مِنْ غَيْرِنَا.

BSB

2 We all stumble in many ways. If anyone is never at fault in what he says, he is a perfect man, able to control his whole body.

NAV

2 فَإِنَّنَا جَمِيعاً مُعَرَّضُونَ لِلْوُقُوعِ فِي أَخْطَاءَ كَثِيرَةٍ. وَلَكِنَّ مَنْ يُلْجِمُ لِسَانَهُ وَلا يُخْطِئُ فِي كَلامِهِ هُوَ نَاضِجٌ يَقْدِرُ أَنْ يُسَيْطِرَ عَلَى طَبِيعَتِهِ سَيْطَرَةً تَامَّةً.

BSB

3 When we put bits into the mouths of horses to make them obey us, we can guide the whole animal.

NAV

3 فَحِينَ نَضَعُ لِجَاماً فِي فَمِ حِصَانٍ، نَتَمَكَّنُ مِنْ تَوْجِيهِهِ وَاقْتِيَادِهِ كَمَا نُرِيدُ.

BSB

4 Consider ships as well. Although they are so large and are driven by strong winds, they are steered by a very small rudder wherever the pilot is inclined.

NAV

4 وَمَهْمَا كَانَتِ السَّفِينَةُ كَبِيرَةً وَالرِّيَاحُ الَّتِي تَدْفَعُهَا قَوِيَّةً وَهَوْجَاءَ، فَبِدَفَّةٍ صَغِيرَةٍ جِدّاً يَتَحَكَّمُ الرَّبَّانُ فِيهَا وَيَسُوقُهَا إِلَى الْجِهَةِ الَّتِي يُرِيدُ. كَذَلِكَ اللِّسَانُ أَيْضاً: فَهُوَ عُضْوٌ صَغِيرٌ،

BSB

5 In the same way, the tongue is a small part of the body, but it boasts of great things. Consider how small a spark sets a great forest ablaze.

NAV

5 وَلَكِنْ مَا أَشَدَّ فَعَّالِيَّتَهُ! انْظُرُوا: إِنَّ شَرَارَةً صَغِيرَةً تُحْرِقُ غَابَةً كَبِيرَةً!

BSB

6 The tongue also is a fire, a world of wickedness among the parts of the body. It pollutes the whole person, sets the course of his life on fire, and is itself set on fire by hell.

NAV

6 وَاللِّسَانُ كَالنَّارِ خَطَراً: فَهُوَ وَحْدَهُ، بَيْنَ أَعْضَاءِ الْجِسْمِ، جَامِعٌ لِلشُّرُورِ كُلِّهَا، وَيُلَوِّثُ الْجِسْمَ كُلَّهُ بِالْفَسَادِ. إِنَّهُ يُشْعِلُ دَائِرَةَ الْكَوْنِ، وَيَسْتَمِدُّ نَارَهُ مِنْ جَهَنَّمَ!

BSB

7 All kinds of animals, birds, reptiles, and creatures of the sea are being tamed and have been tamed by man,

NAV

7 مِنَ السَّهْلِ عَلَى الإِنْسَانِ أَنْ يُرَوِّضَ الْوُحُوشَ وَالطُّيُورَ وَالزَّوَاحِفَ وَالْحَيَوَانَاتِ الْبَحَرِيَّةَ، بِجَمِيعِ أَجْنَاسِهَا. فَهَذَا مَا نَرَاهُ يَحْدُثُ.

BSB

8 but no man can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison.

NAV

8 وَلَكِنَّ أَحَداً مِنَ النَّاسِ لَا يَقْدِرُ أَنْ يُرَوِّضَ اللِّسَانَ. فَهُوَ شَرٌّ لَا يَنْضَبِطُ، مُمْتَلِئٌ بِالسُّمِّ الْقَتَّالِ!

BSB

9 With the tongue we bless our Lord and Father, and with it we curse men, who have been made in God’s likeness.

NAV

9 بِهِ نَرْفَعُ الْحَمْدَ وَالشُّكْرَ لِلرَّبِّ وَالآبِ، وَبِهِ نُوَجِّهُ الشَّتَائِمَ إِلَى النَّاسِ الَّذِينَ خَلَقَهُمُ اللهُ عَلَى مِثَالِهِ.

BSB

10 Out of the same mouth come blessing and cursing. My brothers, this should not be!

NAV

10 وَهكَذَا، تَخْرُجُ الْبَرَكَاتُ وَاللَّعَنَاتُ مِنَ الْفَمِ الْوَاحِدِ. وَهَذَا، يَا إِخْوَتِي، يَجِبُ أَلا يَحْدُثَ أَبَداً!

BSB

11 Can both fresh water and salt water flow from the same spring?

NAV

11 هَلْ سَمِعْتُمْ أَنَّ نَبْعاً وَاحِداً يُعْطِي مَاءً عَذْباً وَمَاءً مُرّاً مِنْ عَيْنٍ وَاحِدَةٍ؟

BSB

12 My brothers, can a fig tree grow olives, or a grapevine bear figs? Neither can a salt spring produce fresh water.

NAV

12 أَمْ هَلْ يُمْكِنُ، يَا إِخْوَتِي، أَنْ تُثْمِرَ التِّينَةُ زَيْتُوناً، أَوِ الْكَرْمَةُ تِيناً؟ كَذَلِكَ لا يُمْكِنُ أَنْ يُعْطِيَ النَّبْعُ الْمَالِحُ مَاءً عَذْباً.

BSB

13 Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show it by his good conduct, by deeds done in the humility that comes from wisdom.

NAV

13 أَبَيْنَكُمْ بَعْضُ الْحُكَمَاءِ وَالْفُهَمَاءِ؟ إِذَنْ، عَلَى هؤُلاءِ أَنْ يَسْلُكُوا سُلُوكاً حَسَناً، مُظْهِرِينَ بِأَعْمَالِهِمْ تِلْكَ الْوَدَاعَةَ الَّتِي تَتَّصِفُ بِها الْحِكْمَةُ (الحَقِيقِيَّةُ).

BSB

14 But if you harbor bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast in it or deny the truth.

NAV

14 أَمَّا إِنْ كَانَتْ قُلُوبُكُمْ مَمْلُوءَةً بِمَرَارَةِ الحَسَدِ وَبِالتَّحَزُّبِ، فَلا تَفْتَخِرُوا بِحِكْمَتِكُمْ، وَلا تُنْكِرُوا الْحَقَّ.

BSB

15 Such wisdom does not come from above, but is earthly, unspiritual, demonic.

NAV

15 إِنَّ هذِهِ الْحِكْمَةَ الَّتِي تَدَّعُونَهَا لَيْسَتْ نَازِلَةً مِنْ عِنْدِ اللهِ، بَلْ هِيَ «حِكْمَةٌ» أَرْضِيَّةٌ بَشَرِيَّةٌ شَيْطَانِيَّةٌ.

BSB

16 For where jealousy and selfish ambition exist, there will be disorder and every evil practice.

NAV

16 فَحَيْثُ تَكُونُ مَرَارَةُ الْحَسَدِ وَالتَّحَزُّبُ، يَنْتَشِرُ الْخِلافُ وَالْفَوْضَى وَجَمِيعُ الشُّرُورِ.

BSB

17 But the wisdom from above is first of all pure, then peace-loving, gentle, accommodating, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial, and sincere.

NAV

17 أَمَّا الْحِكْمَةُ النَّازِلَةُ مِنْ عِنْدِ اللهِ، فَهِيَ نَقِيَّةٌ طَاهِرَةٌ، قَبْلَ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ. وَهِيَ أَيْضاً تَدْفَعُ صَاحِبَهَا إِلَى الْمُسَالَمَةِ وَالتَّرَفُّقِ. كَمَا أَنَّهَا مُطَاوِعَةٌ، مَمْلُوءَةٌ بِالرَّحْمَةِ وَالأَعْمَالِ الصَّالِحَةِ، مُسْتَقِيمَةٌ: لَا تُمَيِّزُ وَلا تَنْحَازُ وَلا تُنَافِقُ.

BSB

18 Peacemakers who sow in peace reap the fruit of righteousness.

NAV

18 وَالْبِرُّ هُوَ ثَمَرَةُ مَا يَزْرَعُهُ فِي سَلامٍ صَانِعُو السَّلامِ.
