雅各书 1

作 神和主耶稣基督仆人的雅各请散住十二个支派之人的安。

zuò shén hé zhǔ yē sū jī dū pú rén de yǎ gè qǐng sàn zhù shí èr gè zhī pài zhī rén de ān 。

James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are in the Dispersion: Greetings.

我的弟兄们，你们落在百般试炼中，都要以为大喜乐；

wǒ de dì xiong men ， nǐ men luò zài bǎi bān shì liàn zhōng ， dōu yào yǐ wéi dà xǐ lè ；

Count it all joy, my brothers, when you fall into various temptations,

因为知道你们的信心经过试验，就生忍耐。

yīn wèi zhī dào nǐ men de xìn xīn jīng guò shì yàn ， jiù shēng rěn nài 。

knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance.

但忍耐也当成功，使你们成全、完备，毫无缺欠。

dàn rěn nài yě dàng chéng gōng ， shǐ nǐ men chéng quán 、 wán bèi ， háo wú quē qiàn 。

Let endurance have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.

你们中间若有缺少智慧的，应当求那厚赐与众人、也不斥责人的 神，主就必赐给他。

nǐ men zhōng jiān ruò yǒu quē shǎo zhì huì de ， yìng dāng qiú nà hòu cì yǔ zhòng rén 、 yě bú chì zé rén de shén ， zhǔ jiù bì cì gěi tā 。

But 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.

只要凭着信心求，一点不疑惑；因为那疑惑的人，就像海中的波浪，被风吹动翻腾。

zhǐ yào píng zhe xìn xīn qiú ， yì diǎn bù yí huò ； yīn wèi nà yí huò de rén ， jiù xiàng hǎi zhōng de bō làng ， bèi fēng chuī dòng fān téng 。

But let him ask in faith, without any doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, driven by the wind and tossed.

这样的人不要想从主那里得什么。

zhè yàng de rén bú yào xiǎng cóng zhǔ nà lǐ dé shén me 。

For that man shouldn’t think that he will receive anything from the Lord.

心怀二意的人，在他一切所行的路上都没有定见。

xīn huái èr yì de rén ， zài tā yí qiè suǒ xíng de lù shang dōu méi yǒu dìng jiàn 。

He is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.

卑微的弟兄升高，就该喜乐；

bēi wēi de dì xiong shēng gāo ， jiù gāi xǐ lè ；

Let the brother in humble circumstances glory in his high position;

富足的降卑，也该如此；因为他必要过去，如同草上的花一样。

fù zú de jiàng bēi ， yě gāi rú cǐ ； yīn wèi tā bì yào guò qù ， rú tóng cǎo shàng de huā yí yàng 。

and the rich, in that he is made humble, because like the flower in the grass, he will pass away.

太阳出来，热风刮起，草就枯干，花也凋谢，美容就消没了；那富足的人，在他所行的事上也要这样衰残。

tài yáng chū lái ， rè fēng guā qǐ ， cǎo jiù kū gān ， huā yě diāo xiè ， měi róng jiù xiāo méi le ； nà fù zú de rén ， zài tā suǒ xíng de shì shàng yě yào zhè yàng shuāi cán 。

For the sun arises with the scorching wind and withers the grass; and the flower in it falls, and the beauty of its appearance perishes. So the rich man will also fade away in his pursuits.

忍受试探的人是有福的，因为他经过试验以后，必得生命的冠冕；这是主应许给那些爱他之人的。

rěn shòu shì tàn de rén shì yǒu fú de ， yīn wèi tā jīng guò shì yàn yǐ hòu ， bì dé shēng mìng de guān miǎn ； zhè shì zhǔ yīng xǔ gěi nà xiē ài tā zhī rén de 。

Blessed is a person who endures temptation, for when he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord promised to those who love him.

人被试探，不可说：「我是被 神试探」；因为 神不能被恶试探，他也不试探人。

rén bèi shì tàn ， bù kě shuō ：「 wǒ shì bèi shén shì tàn 」； yīn wèi shén bù néng bèi è shì tàn ， tā yě bú shì tàn rén 。

Let no man say when he is tempted, “I am tempted by God,” for God can’t be tempted by evil, and he himself tempts no one.

但各人被试探，乃是被自己的私欲牵引诱惑的。

dàn gè rén bèi shì tàn ， nǎi shì bèi zì jǐ de sī yù qiān yǐn yòu huò de 。

But each one is tempted when he is drawn away by his own lust and enticed.

私欲既怀了胎，就生出罪来；罪既长成，就生出死来。

sī yù jì huái le tāi ， jiù shēng chū zuì lái ； zuì jì cháng chéng ， jiù shēng chū sǐ lái 。

Then the lust, when it has conceived, bears sin. The sin, when it is full grown, produces death.

我亲爱的弟兄们，不要看错了。

wǒ qīn ài de dì xiong men ， bú yào kàn cuò le 。

Don’t be deceived, my beloved brothers.

各样美善的恩赐和各样全备的赏赐都是从上头来的，从众光之父那里降下来的；在他并没有改变，也没有转动的影儿。

gè yàng měi shàn de ēn cì hé gè yàng quán bèi de shǎng cì dōu shì cóng shàng tóu lái de ， cóng zhòng guāng zhī fù nà lǐ jiàng xià lái de ； zài tā bìng méi yǒu gǎi biàn ， yě méi yǒu zhuàn dòng de yǐng ér 。

Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom can be no variation nor turning shadow.

他按自己的旨意，用真道生了我们，叫我们在他所造的万物中好像初熟的果子。

tā àn zì jǐ de zhǐ yì ， yòng zhēn dào shēng le wǒ men ， jiào wǒ men zài tā suǒ zào de wàn wù zhōng hǎo xiàng chū shú de guǒ zǐ 。

Of his own will he gave birth to us by the word of truth, that we should be a kind of first fruits of his creatures.

我亲爱的弟兄们，这是你们所知道的。但你们各人要快快地听，慢慢地说，慢慢地动怒，

wǒ qīn ài de dì xiong men ， zhè shì nǐ men suǒ zhī dào de 。 dàn nǐ men gè rén yào kuài kuài dì tīng ， màn màn dì shuō ， màn màn dì dòng nù ，

So, then, my beloved brothers, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, and slow to anger;

因为人的怒气并不成就 神的义。

yīn wèi rén de nù qì bìng bù chéng jiù shén de yì 。

for the anger of man doesn’t produce the righteousness of God.

所以，你们要脱去一切的污秽和盈余的邪恶，存温柔的心领受那所栽种的道，就是能救你们灵魂的道。

suǒ yǐ ， nǐ men yào tuō qù yí qiè de wū huì hé yíng yú de xié è ， cún wēn róu de xīn lǐng shòu nà suǒ zāi zhòng de dào ， jiù shì néng jiù nǐ men líng hún de dào 。

Therefore, putting away all filthiness and overflowing of wickedness, receive with humility the implanted word, which is able to save your souls.

只是你们要行道，不要单单听道，自己欺哄自己。

zhǐ shì nǐ men yào háng dào ， bú yào dān dān tīng dào ， zì jǐ qī hǒng zì jǐ 。

But be doers of the word, and not only hearers, deluding your own selves.

因为听道而不行道的，就像人对着镜子看自己本来的面目，

yīn wèi tīng dào ér bù háng dào de ， jiù xiàng rén duì zhe jìng zi kàn zì jǐ běn lái de miàn mù ，

For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man looking at his natural face in a mirror;

看见，走后，随即忘了他的相貌如何。

kàn jiàn ， zǒu hòu ， suí jí wàng le tā de xiàng mào rú hé 。

for he sees himself, and goes away, and immediately forgets what kind of man he was.

惟有详细察看那全备、使人自由之律法的，并且时常如此，这人既不是听了就忘，乃是实在行出来，就在他所行的事上必然得福。

wéi yǒu xiáng xì chá kàn nà quán bèi 、 shǐ rén zì yóu zhī lǜ fǎ de ， bìng qiě shí cháng rú cǐ ， zhè rén jì bú shì tīng le jiù wàng ， nǎi shì shí zài háng chū lái ， jiù zài tā suǒ xíng de shì shàng bì rán dé fú 。

But he who looks into the perfect law of freedom and continues, not being a hearer who forgets but a doer of the work, this man will be blessed in what he does.

若有人自以为虔诚，却不勒住他的舌头，反欺哄自己的心，这人的虔诚是虚的。

ruò yǒu rén zì yǐ wéi qián chéng ， què bú lè zhù tā de shé tou ， fǎn qī hǒng zì jǐ de xīn ， zhè rén de qián chéng shì xū de 。

If anyone among you thinks himself to be religious while he doesn’t bridle his tongue, but deceives his heart, this man’s religion is worthless.

在 神我们的父面前，那清洁没有玷污的虔诚，就是看顾在患难中的孤儿寡妇，并且保守自己不沾染世俗。

zài shén wǒ men de fù miàn qián ， nà qīng jié méi yǒu diàn wū de qián chéng ， jiù shì kàn gù zài huàn nàn zhōng de gū ér guǎ fù ， bìng qiě bǎo shǒu zì jǐ bù zhān rǎn shì sú 。

Pure religion and undefiled before our God and Father is this: to visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained by the world.
