Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
1James the servant of God, and of our Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad, greeting.
1作上帝和主耶穌基督僕人的 雅各 請散住十二個支派之人的安。
2My brethren, count it all joy, when you shall fall into divers temptations;
2我的弟兄們，你們落在百般試煉中，都要以為大喜樂；
3Knowing that the trying of your faith worketh patience.
3因為知道你們的信心經過試驗，就生忍耐。
4And patience hath a perfect work; that you may be perfect and entire, failing in nothing.
4但忍耐也當成功，使你們成全、完備，毫無缺欠。
5But if any of you want wisdom, let him ask of God, who giveth to all men abundantly, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.
5你們中間若有缺少智慧的，應當求那厚賜與眾人、也不斥責人的上帝， 主 就必賜給他。
6But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea, which is moved and carried about by the wind.
6只要憑着信心求，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。
7Therefore let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord.
7這樣的人不要想從主那裏得甚麼。
8A double minded man is inconstant in all his ways.
8心懷二意的人，在他一切所行的路上都沒有定見。
9But let the brother of low condition glory in his exaltation:
9卑微的弟兄升高，就該喜樂；
10And the rich, in his being low; because as the flower of the grass shall he pass away.
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。
11For the sun rose with a burning heat, and parched the grass, and the flower thereof fell off, and the beauty of the shape thereof perished: so also shall the rich man fade away in his ways.
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。
12Blessed is the man that endureth temptation; for when he hath been proved, he shall receive a crown of life, which God hath promised to them that love him.
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。
13Let no man, when he is tempted, say that he is tempted by God. For God is not a tempter of evils, and he tempteth no man.
13人被試探，不可說：「我是被上帝試探」；因為上帝不能被惡試探，他也不試探人。
14But every man is tempted by his own concupiscence, being drawn away and allured.
14但各人被試探，乃是被自己的私慾牽引誘惑的。
15Then when concupiscence hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin. But sin, when it is completed, begetteth death.
15私慾既懷了胎，就生出罪來；罪既長成，就生出死來。
16Do not err, therefore, my dearest brethren.
16我親愛的弟兄們，不要看錯了。
17Every best gift, and every perfect gift, is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no change, nor shadow of alteration.
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。
18For of his own will hath he begotten us by the word of truth, that we might be some beginning of his creatures.
18他按自己的旨意，用真道生了我們，叫我們在他所造的萬物中好像初熟的果子。
19You know, my dearest brethren. And let every man be swift to hear, but slow to speak, and slow to anger.
19我親愛的弟兄們，這是你們所知道的。但你們各人要快快地聽，慢慢地說，慢慢地動怒，
20For the anger of man worketh not the justice of God.
20因為人的怒氣並不成就上帝的義。
21Wherefore casting away all uncleanness, and abundance of naughtiness, with meekness receive the ingrafted word, which is able to save your souls.
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，就是能救你們靈魂的道。
22But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.
22只是你們要行道，不要單單聽道，自己欺哄自己。
23For if a man be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he shall be compared to a man beholding his own countenance in a glass.
23因為聽道而不行道的，就像人對着鏡子看自己本來的面目，
24For he beheld himself, and went his way, and presently forgot what manner of man he was.
24看見，走後，隨即忘了他的相貌如何。
25But he that hath looked into the perfect law of liberty, and hath continued therein, not becoming a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work; this man shall be blessed in his deed.
25惟有詳細察看那全備、 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。
26And if any man think himself to be religious, not bridling his tongue, but deceiving his own heart, this man’s religion is vain.
26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。
27Religion clean and undefiled before God and the Father, is this: to visit the fatherless and widows in their tribulation: and to keep one’s self unspotted from this world.
27在上帝我們的父面前，那清潔沒有玷污的虔誠，就是看顧在患難中的孤兒寡婦，並且保守自己不沾染世俗。
