1ιακωβοσ θεου και κυριου ιησου χριστου δουλοσ ταισ δωδεκα φυλαισ ταισ εν τη διασπορα χαιρειν
1James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are in the Dispersion: Greetings.
2πασαν χαραν ηγησασθε αδελφοι μου οταν πειρασμοισ περιπεσητε ποικιλοισ
2Count it all joy, my brothers, when you fall into various temptations,
3γινωσκοντεσ οτι το δοκιμιον υμων τησ πιστεωσ κατεργαζεται υπομονην
3knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance.
4η δε υπομονη εργον τελειον εχετω ινα ητε τελειοι και ολοκληροι εν μηδενι λειπομενοι
4Let endurance have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.
5ει δε τισ υμων λειπεται σοφιασ αιτειτω παρα του διδοντοσ θεου πασιν απλωσ και ουκ ονειδιζοντοσ και δοθησεται αυτω
5But 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.
6αιτειτω δε εν πιστει μηδεν διακρινομενοσ ο γαρ διακρινομενοσ εοικεν κλυδωνι θαλασσησ ανεμιζομενω και ριπιζομενω
6But 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.
7μη γαρ οιεσθω ο ανθρωποσ εκεινοσ οτι ληψεται τι παρα του κυριου
7For that man shouldn’t think that he will receive anything from the Lord.
8ανηρ διψυχοσ ακαταστατοσ εν πασαισ ταισ οδοισ αυτου
8He is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.
9καυχασθω δε ο αδελφοσ ο ταπεινοσ εν τω υψει αυτου
9Let the brother in humble circumstances glory in his high position;
10ο δε πλουσιοσ εν τη ταπεινωσει αυτου οτι ωσ ανθοσ χορτου παρελευσεται
10and the rich, in that he is made humble, because like the flower in the grass, he will pass away.
11ανετειλεν γαρ ο ηλιοσ συν τω καυσωνι και εξηρανεν τον χορτον και το ανθοσ αυτου εξεπεσεν και η ευπρεπεια του προσωπου αυτου απωλετο ουτωσ και ο πλουσιοσ εν ταισ πορειαισ αυτου μαρανθησεται
11For 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.
12μακαριοσ ανηρ οσ υπομενει πειρασμον οτι δοκιμοσ γενομενοσ ληψεται τον στεφανον τησ ζωησ ον επηγγειλατο ο κυριοσ τοισ αγαπωσιν αυτον
12Blessed 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.
13μηδεισ πειραζομενοσ λεγετω οτι απο θεου πειραζομαι ο γαρ θεοσ απειραστοσ εστιν κακων πειραζει δε αυτοσ ουδενα
13Let 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.
14εκαστοσ δε πειραζεται υπο τησ ιδιασ επιθυμιασ εξελκομενοσ και δελεαζομενοσ
14But each one is tempted when he is drawn away by his own lust and enticed.
15ειτα η επιθυμια συλλαβουσα τικτει αμαρτιαν η δε αμαρτια αποτελεσθεισα αποκυει θανατον
15Then the lust, when it has conceived, bears sin. The sin, when it is full grown, produces death.
16μη πλανασθε αδελφοι μου αγαπητοι
16Don’t be deceived, my beloved brothers.
17πασα δοσισ αγαθη και παν δωρημα τελειον ανωθεν εστιν καταβαινον απο του πατροσ των φωτων παρ ω ουκ ενι παραλλαγη η τροπησ αποσκιασμα
17Every 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.
18βουληθεισ απεκυησεν ημασ λογω αληθειασ εισ το ειναι ημασ απαρχην τινα των αυτου κτισματων
18Of 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.
19ωστε αδελφοι μου αγαπητοι εστω πασ ανθρωποσ ταχυσ εισ το ακουσαι βραδυσ εισ το λαλησαι βραδυσ εισ οργην
19So, then, my beloved brothers, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, and slow to anger;
20οργη γαρ ανδροσ δικαιοσυνην θεου ου κατεργαζεται
20for the anger of man doesn’t produce the righteousness of God.
21διο αποθεμενοι πασαν ρυπαριαν και περισσειαν κακιασ εν πραυτητι δεξασθε τον εμφυτον λογον τον δυναμενον σωσαι τασ ψυχασ υμων
21Therefore, putting away all filthiness and overflowing of wickedness, receive with humility the implanted word, which is able to save your souls.
22γινεσθε δε ποιηται λογου και μη μονον ακροαται παραλογιζομενοι εαυτουσ
22But be doers of the word, and not only hearers, deluding your own selves.
23οτι ει τισ ακροατησ λογου εστιν και ου ποιητησ ουτοσ εοικεν ανδρι κατανοουντι το προσωπον τησ γενεσεωσ αυτου εν εσοπτρω
23For 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;
24κατενοησεν γαρ εαυτον και απεληλυθεν και ευθεωσ επελαθετο οποιοσ ην
24for he sees himself, and goes away, and immediately forgets what kind of man he was.
25ο δε παρακυψασ εισ νομον τελειον τον τησ ελευθεριασ και παραμεινασ ουτοσ ουκ ακροατησ επιλησμονησ γενομενοσ αλλα ποιητησ εργου ουτοσ μακαριοσ εν τη ποιησει αυτου εσται
25But 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.
26ει τισ δοκει θρησκοσ ειναι εν υμιν μη χαλιναγωγων γλωσσαν αυτου αλλα απατων καρδιαν αυτου τουτου ματαιοσ η θρησκεια
26If 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.
27θρησκεια καθαρα και αμιαντοσ παρα θεω και πατρι αυτη εστιν επισκεπτεσθαι ορφανουσ και χηρασ εν τη θλιψει αυτων ασπιλον εαυτον τηρειν απο του κοσμου
27Pure 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.
