| 1 | Mes frères, n'ayez pas la foi de notre Seigneur Jésus Christ, Seigneur de gloire, en faisant acception de personnes. | My brethren, have not the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory, with respect of persons. | My brethren, hold not the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, [the Lord] of glory, with respect of persons. |
| 2 | Car s'il entre dans votre synagogue un homme portant une bague d'or, en vêtements éclatants, et qu'il entre aussi un pauvre en vêtements sales, | For if there come unto your assembly a man with a gold ring, in goodly apparel, and there come in also a poor man in vile raiment; | For if there come into your synagogue a man with a gold ring, in fine clothing, and there come in also a poor man in vile clothing; |
| 3 | et que vous regardiez vers celui qui porte les vêtements éclatants, et que vous disiez: Toi, assieds-toi ici à ton aise; et que vous disiez au pauvre: Toi, tiens-toi là debout; ou: Assieds-toi ici au bas de mon marchepied; | And ye have respect to him that weareth the gay clothing, and say unto him, Sit thou here in a good place; and say to the poor, Stand thou there, or sit here under my footstool: | and ye have regard to him that weareth the fine clothing, and say, Sit thou here in a good place; and ye say to the poor man, Stand thou there, or sit under my footstool; |
| 4 | n'avez-vous pas fait une distinction en vous-mêmes, et n'êtes-vous pas devenus des juges ayant de mauvaises pensées? | Are ye not then partial in yourselves, and are become judges of evil thoughts? | Do ye not make distinctions among yourselves, and become judges with evil thoughts? |
| 5 | Écoutez, mes frères bien-aimés: Dieu n'a-t-il pas choisi les pauvres quant au monde, riches en foi et héritiers du royaume qu'il a promis à ceux qui l'aiment? | Hearken, my beloved brethren, Hath not God chosen the poor of this world rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he hath promised to them that love him? | Hearken, my beloved brethren; did not God choose them that are poor as to the world [to be] rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he promised to them that love him? |
| 6 | Mais vous, vous avez méprisé le pauvre. Les riches ne vous oppriment-ils pas, et ne sont-ce pas eux qui vous tirent devant les tribunaux? | But ye have despised the poor. Do not rich men oppress you, and draw you before the judgment seats? | But ye have dishonored the poor man. Do not the rich oppress you, and themselves drag you before the judgment-seats? |
| 7 | Ne sont-ce pas eux qui blasphèment le beau nom qui a été invoqué sur vous? | Do not they blaspheme that worthy name by the which ye are called? | Do not they blaspheme the honorable name by which ye are called? |
| 8 | en effet vous accomplissez la loi royale, selon l'écriture: "Tu aimeras ton prochain comme toi-même", vous faites bien; | If ye fulfil the royal law according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself, ye do well: | Howbeit if ye fulfil the royal law, according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself, ye do well: |
| 9 | mais si vous faites acception de personnes, vous commettez le péché, et vous êtes convaincus par la loi comme transgresseurs. | But if ye have respect to persons, ye commit sin, and are convinced of the law as transgressors. | but if ye have respect of persons, ye commit sin, being convicted by the law as transgressors. |
| 10 | Car quiconque gardera toute la loi et faillira en un seul point, est coupable sur tous. | For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all. | For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet stumble in one [point], he is become guilty of all. |
| 11 | Car celui qui a dit: "Tu ne commettras pas adultère", a dit aussi: "Tu ne tueras pas". Or si tu ne commets pas adultère, mais que tu tues, tu es devenu transgresseur de la loi. | For he that said, Do not commit adultery, said also, Do not kill. Now if thou commit no adultery, yet if thou kill, thou art become a transgressor of the law. | For he that said, Do not commit adultery, said also, Do not kill. Now if thou dost not commit adultery, but killest, thou art become a transgressor of the law. |
| 12 | Ainsi parlez, et ainsi agissez comme devant être jugés par la loi de la liberté; | So speak ye, and so do, as they that shall be judged by the law of liberty. | So speak ye, and so do, as men that are to be judged by a law of liberty. |
| 13 | car le jugement est sans miséricorde pour celui qui n'a pas usé de miséricorde. La miséricorde se glorifie vis-à-vis du jugement. | For he shall have judgment without mercy, that hath shewed no mercy; and mercy rejoiceth against judgment. | For judgment [is] without mercy to him that hath showed no mercy: mercy glorieth against judgment. |
| 14 | Mes frères, quel profit y a-t-il si quelqu'un dit qu'il a la foi, et qu'il n'ait pas d'oeuvres? La foi peut-elle le sauver? | What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him? | What doth it profit, my brethren, if a man say he hath faith, but have not works? can that faith save him? |
| 15 | Et si un frère ou une soeur sont nus et manquent de leur nourriture de tous les jours, | If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food, | If a brother or sister be naked and in lack of daily food, |
| 16 | et que quelqu'un d'entre vous leur dise: Allez en paix, chauffez-vous et rassasiez-vous, - et que vous ne leur donniez pas les choses nécessaires pour le corps, quel profit y a-t-il? | And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what doth it profit? | and one of you say unto them, Go in peace, be ye warmed and filled; and yet ye give them not the things needful to the body; what doth it profit? |
| 17 | De même aussi la foi, si elle n'a pas d'oeuvres, est morte par elle-même. | Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone. | Even so faith, if it have not works, is dead in itself. |
| 18 | Mais quelqu'un dira: Tu as la foi, et moi j'ai des oeuvres. Montre-moi ta foi sans oeuvres, et moi, par mes oeuvres, je te montrerai ma foi. | Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works. | Yea, a man will say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: show me thy faith apart from [thy] works, and I by my works will show thee [my] faith. |
| 19 | Tu crois que Dieu est un; tu fais bien: les démons aussi croient, et ils frissonnent. | Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble. | Thou believest that God is one; thou doest well: the demons also believe, and shudder. |
| 20 | Mais veux-tu savoir, ô homme vain, que la foi sans les oeuvres est morte? | But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead? | But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith apart from works is barren? |
| 21 | Abraham, notre père, n'a-t-il pas été justifié par des oeuvres, ayant offert son fils Isaac sur l'autel? | Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar? | Was not Abraham our father justified by works, in that he offered up Isaac his son upon the altar? |
| 22 | Tu vois que la foi agissait avec ses oeuvres; et par les oeuvres la foi fut rendue parfaite. | Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect? | Thou seest that faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect; |
| 23 | Et l'écriture a été accomplie qui dit: "Et Abraham crut Dieu, et cela lui fut compté à justice"; et il a été appelé ami de Dieu. | And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God. | and the scripture was fulfilled which saith, And Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned unto him for righteousness; and he was called the friend of God. |
| 24 | Vous voyez qu'un homme est justifié par les oeuvres et non par la foi seulement. | Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only. | Ye see that by works a man is justified, and not only by faith. |
| 25 | Et pareillement Rahab aussi, la prostituée, n'a-t-elle pas été justifiée par les oeuvres, ayant reçu les messagers et les ayant mis dehors par un autre chemin? | Likewise also was not Rahab the harlot justified by works, when she had received the messengers, and had sent them out another way? | And in like manner was not also Rahab the harlot justified by works, in that she received the messengers, and sent them out another way? |
| 26 | Car comme le corps sans esprit est mort, ainsi aussi la foi sans les oeuvres est morte. | For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also. | For as the body apart from the spirit is dead, even so faith apart from works is dead. |
