ULTAnd similarly was not Rahab the prostitute also justified from works, having welcomed the messengers and having sent them away by another road?

USTJust as he did for Abraham, God also considered Rahab to be righteous because of what she did. She had been a prostitute, but she took care of the messengers Joshua sent to spy out the land. She then helped them to escape by sending them back on a safer road.

T4TSimilarly, it was certainly [RHQ] because of what Rahab did, that God considered her to be a righteous, obedient person. Rahab was previously a prostitute, but she cared for the Israelite men who came to spy out the land/see what that area was like► and she helped them to escape by sending them home on a different road from the one that they came on.

LEBAnd likewise was not Rahab the prostitute also justified by works when she[fn] welcomed the messengers and sent them out by a different route?

TSNTyndale Study Notes:

2:25 James presents Rahab the prostitute (see Josh 2:1) as his second example of how good works must accompany genuine faith. She declared her belief that the Lord God of Israel was the only God (Josh 2:9-11), and her faith was made perfect by her actions when she provided hospitality and a means of escape to the Israelite spies (Josh 2:1-6; 6:25; Heb 11:31).


UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

ὁμοίως δὲ καὶ Ῥαὰβ ἡ πόρνη οὐκ ἐξ ἔργων ἐδικαιώθη, ὑποδεξαμένη τοὺς ἀγγέλους, καὶ ἑτέρᾳ ὁδῷ ἐκβαλοῦσα?

likewise and also Rahab the prostitute not by works /was/_justified /having/_welcomed the messengers and ˱by˲_another way /having/_sent_forth

James is using the question form as a teaching tool. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this question by translating his words as a statement. Alternate translation: “Rahab the prostitute was also justified similarly from works when she welcomed the messengers and sent them away by another road.”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

ὁμοίως & καὶ Ῥαὰβ ἡ πόρνη οὐκ & ἐδικαιώθη

likewise & also Rahab the prostitute not & /was/_justified

If your language does not use this passive form, you can express this with an active form, and you can state who did the action. Alternate translation: “did not God similarly justify Rahab the prostitute” or “did not God similarly declare Rahab the prostitute to be righteous”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ὁμοίως

likewise

If it would be helpful to your readers, you could state explicitly what similarly means in this context. Alternate translation: “in the same way as Abraham,”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

ἐξ ἔργων

by works

If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the idea behind the abstract noun works with an equivalent expression. Alternate translation: “by what she did”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ὑποδεξαμένη τοὺς ἀγγέλους, καὶ ἑτέρᾳ ὁδῷ ἐκβαλοῦσα

/having/_welcomed the messengers and ˱by˲_another way /having/_sent_forth

James assumes that his readers will know that he is referring to the episode recorded in the book of Joshua in which Joshua sent two spies to explore the land of Canaan. Rahab provided safety and shelter for these spies in her home, and she then sent them away safely by a route that their pursuers would not have expected them to take. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could give an explicit indication of this. Alternate translation: “when she provided shelter and safety in her home for the spies whom Joshua sent to explore the land of Canaan and when she sent these spies safely away by a route that their pursuers would not have expected them to take”

Note 6 topic: writing-pronouns

ἐκβαλοῦσα

/having/_sent_forth

Since there were two messengers, the pronoun them would be in the dual, if your language uses that form.
