雅1

雅各書-James 第 1 章

1:1	神和主耶穌基督的奴仆雅各，寫信給散居的十二個支派：願你們喜樂。 James, a slave of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes in the dispersion: Rejoice!
1:2	我的弟兄們，無論何時你們落在諸般的試煉中，都要以為大喜樂； Count it all joy, my brothers, whenever you fall into various trials,
1:3	知道你們信心所受的試驗，產生忍耐。 Knowing that the proving of your faith works out endurance.
1:4	但忍耐也當成功，好使你們齊備完整，毫無缺欠。 And let endurance have its perfect work that you may be perfect and entire, lacking in nothing.
1:5	你們中間若有缺少智慧的，就當求那厚賜眾人，也不斥責人的神，就必有賜給他的。 But if any one of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and does not reproach, and it will be given to him.
1:6	隻是要憑著信心求，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。 But let him ask in faith, doubting nothing, for he who doubts is like the surge of the sea, driven by the wind and tossed about.
1:7	這樣的人，不要想從主那裏得到什麼； For that man must not suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord;
1:8	心懷二意的人，在他一切的路上，都是搖蕩不定的。 He is a double-souled man, unstable in all his ways.
1:9	卑微的弟兄升高，就該誇耀； And let the lowly brother boast in his exaltation,
1:10	富足的降卑，也該如此，因為他必要過去，如同草上的花一樣。 And the rich in his being brought low, because like a flower of the grass he will pass away.
1:11	太陽升起，熱氣薰烤，草就枯幹，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。 For the sun rises with its scorching heat and withers the grass, and its flower falls off, and the beauty of its appearance is destroyed; so also the rich man will fade away in his pursuits.
1:12	忍受試煉的人有福了，因為他既受試驗得了稱許，就必得著生命的冠冕，這是主應許給那些愛祂之人的。 Blessed is the man who endures trial, because when he has become approved by testing, he will receive the crown of life, which He promised to those who love Him.
1:13	人被試誘，不可說，我是被神試誘，因為神不被惡試誘，祂也不試誘人。 Let no one say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God; for God cannot be tempted of evil, and He Himself tempts no one.
1:14	但各人被試誘，乃是被自己的私欲勾引誘惑的； But each one is tempted when he is drawn away and enticed by his own lusts;
1:15	然後私欲懷了胎，就生出罪；罪既長成，就產生死。 Then the lust, having conceived, gives birth to sin; and the sin, when it is fully grown, brings forth death.
1:16	我親愛的弟兄們，不要看錯了。 Do not be deceived, my beloved brothers.
1:17	一切美善的賜與、和各樣完備的恩賜，都是從上頭，從眾光之父降下來的，在祂並沒有變動，或轉動的影兒。 All good giving and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variation or shadow cast by turning.
1:18	祂照自己的定意，用真理的話生了我們，叫我們在祂所造的萬物中，成為初熟的果子。 He brought us forth by the word of truth, purposing that we might be a kind of firstfruits of His creatures.
1:19	我親愛的弟兄們，這是你們所知道的，但你們各人要快快的聽，慢慢的說，慢慢的動怒； You know this, my beloved brothers; but let every man be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath;
1:20	因為人的忿怒並不成就神的義。 For the wrath of man does not accomplish the righteousness of God.
1:21	所以你們既脫去一切的汙穢，和盈餘的惡毒，就該用溫柔領受那栽種的話，就是能救你們魂的話。 Therefore putting away all filthiness and the abundance of malice, receive in meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls.
1:22	隻是你們要作行道者，不要單作聽道者，自己欺哄自己。 And become doers of the word and not hearers only, who delude themselves.
1:23	因為人若是聽道者，而不是行道者，就像人對著鏡子看自己本來的麵目； Because if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, this one is like a man considering in a mirror the face he was born with;
1:24	看過走開以後，隨即忘了自己是什麼樣子。 For he considers himself and goes away, and immediately forgets what kind of person he is.
1:25	惟有詳細察看那完備自由的律法，並且時常如此的，他不是聽了就忘，乃是實在行出來，就在他所行的事上必然得福。 But he who looks into the perfect law, the law of freedom, and continues in it, becoming not a forgetful hearer but a doer of the work, this one will be blessed in his doing.
1:26	若有人自以為是虔敬的，卻不勒住他的舌頭，反欺騙自己的心，這人的虔敬是虛空的。 If anyone thinks himself to be religious and yet does not bridle his tongue but deceives his heart, this one's religion is vain.
1:27	在神與父麵前，那清潔沒有玷汙的虔敬，就是看顧在患難中的孤兒寡婦，保守自己不受世界玷汙。 This is pure and undefiled religion before our God and Father: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction and to keep oneself unspotted from the world.
