1 אַחַי אַל־יְהִי מַשּׂא פָנִים בֶּאֱמוּנַתְכֶם בְּיֵשׁוּעַ הַמָּשִׁיחַ אֲדֹנֵינוּ אֲדוֹן הַכָּבוֹד1 My brothers, show no partiality as you adhere to the faith in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ.
2 כִּי אִם־יָבוֹא אִישׁ לְבֵית כְּנֵסַתְכֶם וְטַבְּעֹת זָהָב עַל־יָדָיו וְהוּא לָבוּשׁ לְבֻשֵׁי מִכְלוֹל וְגַם־אִישׁ עָנִי יָבֹא שָׁמָּה וּבִגְדוֹ מְטֻנָּף2 For if a man with gold rings on his fingers and in fine clothes comes into your assembly, and a poor person in shabby clothes also comes in,
3 וּפְנִיתֶם אֶל־הַלָּבוּשׁ לְבֻשֵׁי מִכְלוֹל וַאֲמַרְתֶּם לוֹ שֶׁב־לְךָ הֵנָּה בְּטוֹב וְלֶעָנִי תֹאמְרוּ עֲמָד־שָׁם אוֹ שֶׁב־פֹּה מִתַּחַת לַהֲדֹם רַגְלָי3 and you pay attention to the one wearing the fine clothes and say, "Sit here, please," while you say to the poor one, "Stand there," or "Sit at my feet,"
4 הֲלֹא בָזֹאת נֶחֱלַק לִבְּכֶם וְהִנְּכֶם שֹׁפְטִים בַּעֲלֵי מַחֲשָׁבוֹת רָעוֹת4 have you not made distinctions among yourselves and become judges with evil designs?
5 שִׁמְעוּ אַחַי אֲהוּבָי הֲלֹא בַעֲנִיֵּי הָעוֹלָם הַזֶּה בָּחַר הָאֱלֹהִים לִהְיוֹת עֲשִׁירִים בָּאֱמוּנָה וְיֹרְשֵׁי הַמַּלְכוּת אֲשֶׁר הִבְטִיחַ לְאֹהֲבָיו5 Listen, my beloved brothers. Did not God choose those who are poor in the world to be rich in faith and heirs of the kingdom that he promised to those who love him?
6 וְאַתֶּם הִכְלַמְתֶּם אֶת־הֶעָנִי הֲלֹא הָעֲשִׁירִים הֵם הָעשְׁקִים אֶתְכֶם וְהֵם הַסֹּחֲבִים אֶתְכֶם אֶל־בָּתֵּי דִין6 But you dishonored the poor person. Are not the rich oppressing you? And do they themselves not haul you off to court?
7 הֲלֹא הֵם הַמְגַדְּפִים אֶת־הַשֵּׁם הַטּוֹב הַנִּקְרָא עֲלֵיכֶם7 Is it not they who blaspheme the noble name that was invoked over you?
8 הֵן בְּקַיֶּמְכֶם אֶת־הַמִּצְוָה הַמֹּלֶכֶת עַל־כֻּלָּן כְּפִי הַכָּתוּב וְאָהַבְתָּ לְרֵעֲךָ כָּמוֹךָ תֵּיטִיבוּ לַעֲשׂוֹת8 However, if you fulfill the royal law according to the scripture, "You shall love your neighbor as yourself," you are doing well.
9 אוּלָם אִם־תִּשְׂאוּ פָנִים תֶּחֶטְאוּ בְּמַעֲשֵׂיכֶם וְהַתּוֹרָה תוֹכִיחֲכֶם כְּעֹבְרִים אוֹתָהּ9 But if you show partiality, you commit sin, and are convicted by the law as transgressors.
10 כִּי אִישׁ אֲשֶׁר יְקַיֵּם אֶת־כָּל־הַתּוֹרָה וְנִכְשָׁל בְּדָבָר אֶחָד הוּא אָשֹׁם אָשַׁם בְּכֻלָּם10 For whoever keeps the whole law, but falls short in one particular, has become guilty in respect to all of it.
11 כִּי הָאֹמֵר לֹא תִנְאָף גַּם־הוּא אָמַר לֹא תִרְצָח וְאִם־אֵינְךָ נֹאֵף וְאַתָּה רוֹצֵחַ הָיֹה נִהְיֵיתָ לְעֹבֵר הַתּוֹרָה11 For he who said, "You shall not commit adultery," also said, "You shall not kill." Even if you do not commit adultery but kill, you have become a transgressor of the law.
12 כֵּן דַּבְּרוּ וְכֵן עֲשֹוּ כָּאֲנָשִׁים הָעֲתִידִים לְהִשָּׁפֵט עַל־פִּי תּוֹרַת הַחֵרוּת12 So speak and so act as people who will be judged by the law of freedom.
13 כִּי אֵין חֶסֶד בַּדִּין לַאֲשֶׁר לֹא־עָשָׂה חָסֶד וְהַחֶסֶד יִתְגָּאֶה עַל־הַדִּין13 For the judgment is merciless to one who has not shown mercy; mercy triumphs over judgment.
14 אַחַי מַה־יּוֹעִיל לְאִישׁ אִם־יֹאמַר כִּי יֶשׁ־לוֹ אֱמוּנָה וּמַעֲשִׂים אֵין בּוֹ הֲתוּכַל הָאֱמוּנָה לְהוֹשִׁיעוֹ14 What good is it, my brothers, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can that faith save him?
15 אָח אוֹ אָחוֹת אִם־יִהְיוּ בְעֵירֹם וּבְחֹסֶר לֶחֶם יוֹמָם15 If a brother or sister has nothing to wear and has no food for the day,
16 וְאִישׁ מִכֶּם יֹאמַר אֲלֵיהֶם לְכוּ לְשָׁלוֹם וְהִתְחַמְמוּ וּשְׂבָעוּ וְלֹא־תִתְּנוּ לָהֶם דֵּי־מַחְסוֹר גּוּפָם מַה־תּוֹעִיל זֹאת16 and one of you says to them, "Go in peace, keep warm, and eat well," but you do not give them the necessities of the body, what good is it?
17 כָּכָה גַּם־הָאֱמוּנָה אִם־אֵין בָּהּ מַעֲשִׂים מֵתָה הִיא בְּעַצְמָהּ17 So also faith of itself, if it does not have works, is dead.
18 אַךְ־יֹאמַר אִישׁ אַתָּה יֶשׁ־לְךָ אֱמוּנָה וַאֲנִי יֶשׁ־לִי מַעֲשִׂים הַרְאֵנִי נָא אֶת־אֱמוּנָתְךָ בִּבְלִי מַעֲשֶׂיךָ וַאֲנִי אַרְאֲךָ מִתּוֹךְ מַעֲשַׂי אֶת־אֱמוּנָתִי18 Indeed someone might say, "You have faith and I have works." Demonstrate your faith to me without works, and I will demonstrate my faith to you from my works.
19 אַתָּה מַאֲמִין כִּי הָאֱלֹהִים אֶחָד הוּא הֱטִיבוֹתָ גַּם הַשֵּׁדִים מַאֲמִינִים בּוֹ וְרֹעֲדִים19 You believe that God is one. You do well. Even the demons believe that and tremble.
20 וְאַתָּה אִישׁ־בָּעַר הֲתַחְפֹּץ לָדַעַת כִּי הָאֱמוּנָה בִּבְלִי מַעֲשִׂים מֵתָה הִיא20 Do you want proof, you ignoramus, that faith without works is useless?
21 אַבְרָהָם אָבִינוּ הֲלֹא בְּמַעֲשָׂיו נִצְדָּק בְּהַעֲלֹתוֹ אֶת־יִצְחָק בְּנוֹ עַל־הַמִּזְבֵּחַ21 Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he offered his son Isaac upon the altar?
22 הִנְּךָ רֹאֶה כִּי־הָיְתָה הָאֱמוּנָה עֹזֶרֶת לְמַעֲשָׂיו וּמִתּוֹךְ הַמַּעֲשִׂים הָשְׁלְמָה הָאֱמוּנָה22 You see that faith was active along with his works, and faith was completed by the works.
23 וַיִּמָּלֵא הַכָּתוּב הָאֹמֵר וְהֶאֱמִן אַבְרָהָם בַּיהוָֹה וַתֵּחָשֵׁב־לוֹ לִצְדָקָה וַיִּקָּרֵא אֹהֵב יְהוָֹה23 Thus the scripture was fulfilled that says, "Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness," and he was called "the friend of God."
24 הִנְּכֶם רֹאִים כִּי בְּמַעֲשִׂים יִצְדַּק הָאִישׁ וְלֹא בֶאֱמוּנָה לְבַדָּהּ24 See how a person is justified by works and not by faith alone.
25 וְכֵן גַּם־רָחָב הַזּוֹנָה הֲלֹא נִצְדְּקָה בְּמַעֲשִׂים בְּאָסְפָהּ אֶת־הַמַּלְאָכִים אֶל־בֵּיתָהּ וַתְּשַׁלְּחֵם בְּדֶרֶךְ אַחֵר25 And in the same way, was not Rahab the harlot also justified by works when she welcomed the messengers and sent them out by a different route?
26 כִּי כַּאֲשֶׁר הַגּוּף בְּלִי נְשָׁמָה מֵת הוּא כֵּן גַּם־הָאֱמוּנָה בְלִי־מַעֲשִׂים מֵתָה הִיא26 For just as a body without a spirit is dead, so also faith without works is dead.
27 וְרָעָם בְּשֵׁבֶט בַּרְזֶל כִּכְלִי יוֹצֵר יְנֻפָּצוּ כַּאֲשֶׁר קִבַּלְתִּי גַם־אָנֹכִי מֵאֵת אָבִי
28 וְנָתַתִּי לוֹ כּוֹכַב הַשָּׁחַר
29 מִי אֲשֶׁר־אֹזֶן לוֹ יִשְׁמַע אֵת אֲשֶׁר הָרוּחַ אֹמֵר לַקְּהִלּוֹת
