Yakubu 1
1 Yakubu, kucin Kutellẹ nin Chikilari Yisa Kristi, udu kiti nakura likure nin naba na iwa malu kiti nin ghinu, ndin lisu minu.
James, bondman of God and of [the] Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which [are] in the dispersion, greeting.
2 Yiran vat nmanghari nuwana ning, kubi ko na uniyu ngangan nse minu,
Count it all joy, my brethren, when ye fall into various temptations,
3 Yinnon nworu uyinnu sa uyenu mine din dasu nin nayi akone sa ligan.
knowing that the proving of your faith works endurance.
4 Na ayi akone kulu katuwa me, lnan lawa anit awasara, anan nsalin ndiru nimon.
But let endurance have [its] perfect work, that ye may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.
5 Asa umon mine dini su ayita jinji, na atirin kiti lenge na adi nizu, Kutellẹ, adin nizu gbardang sa ugbaru kitin le na atirino, Kutellẹ ma nighe.
But if any one of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all freely and reproaches not, and it shall be given to him:
6 Bara nani tirino nan nya yinnu sa uyenu, na nin kosu kibinayi ba, ule na adinsu nin kosu kibinayi amasin nafo kibarak nmyen kurawa, fongo na ufunu din chunmung ukillọ mung.
but let him ask in faith, nothing doubting. For he that doubts is like a wave of the sea driven by the wind and tossed about;
7 Na unit une nwa ceo kibinayi nworu aba seru imene na adi nin suwẹ kitin in Chikilari ba;
for let not that man think that he shall receive anything from the Lord;
8 Imusi nnit une unan kossu kibinayari, na ayisin libau lirum ba.
[he is] a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.
9 Na gwana ule na asali nin nimon nacara ase ngongong nan nya liyisin me.
But let the brother of low degree glory in his elevation,
10 Ame gwana ka na adumun nimon nacara toltin litime, bara na ama katu nafo kumamu na kuwasa kuyelte.
and the rich in his humiliation, because as [the] grass's flower he will pass away.
11 Asa awui nuzu ninpui gwawai uta amommu koto, amammu nin chaut nani yeltizẹ. Nanere wang anan nimon nacara ba lawu anan nsali nimon nan nya nituwa minẹ.
For the sun has risen with its burning heat, and has withered the grass, and its flower has fallen, and the comeliness of its look has perished: thus the rich also shall wither in his goings.
12 Unan nmareri ule na atere ulle na a tere kibinayi, nan nya dumunu, aleo likara nan nya dumunẹ, aba seru litapa tigoh longo na ina ti anan su Kutellẹ likawali.
Blessed [is the] man who endures temptation; for, having been proved, he shall receive the crown of life, which He has promised to them that love him.
13 Yenje umon wa woro kubi kongo na idumunghe, '' Ulenge udumune unuzu kiti Kutellẹri,'' bara na Kutellẹ din dumunu unit nin magunta ba, amẹ Kutellẹ litime din dumuzunu umong ba.
Let no man, being tempted, say, I am tempted of God. For God cannot be tempted by evil things, and himself tempts no one.
14 Ko uyeme unit asa ase udumunu bara uti kibinayi mangunta mere, ulle na asa ukpeshilinghe uwununghe likot.
But every one is tempted, drawn away, and enticed by his own lust;
15 Usu kibinayi nwati liburi asa umara kulapi, kulapi nwa kuno kang kuda nin kul.
then lust, having conceived, gives birth to sin; but sin fully completed brings forth death.
16 Nana ning yenje iwa risuzu minu.
Do not err, my beloved brethren.
17 Ko uyeme ufillu ugegeme nin fillu ulau udin nucu kitene kani utolu udak nnuzu kitin Ncif nkanang. Na adin sakuzu kidowo nafo ushin ba.
Every good gift and every perfect gift comes down from above, from the Father of lights, with whom is no variation nor shadow of turning.
18 Kutellẹ na fere ani nari ulai unuzu ligbulang kidegen, bara tinan so kumat ncizinu nan nya makekewẹ.
According to his own will begat he us by the word of truth, that we should be a certain first-fruits of his creatures.
19 Anung yiru nani, nuwana kibinayi nin. Na ulanzu yita kogha ku deddai, na anan liru kpaikpai ba, ana unan tinanayi deddai ba,
So that, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath;
20 bara na tina nayi nanit din su katuwa kacine Kutellẹ ba.
for man's wrath does not work God's righteousness.
21 Bara nani kallan vat akara ananangza nin magunta na udin kowẹ, na nin tikunang liti ba seren tigbulang to na tiba damun nin tucu nidowo mine.
Wherefore, laying aside all filthiness and abounding of wickedness, accept with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls.
22 Dortong tigbulanghe, na iwadi anan lanzu cas ba, na iwa rusuzu atimine ba.
But be ye doers of [the] word and not hearers only, beguiling yourselves.
23 Asa ulle na adin lanzunligbulang nliru na adin su katuwa mun, adi nafo unit ulle na adin yenju nan nya madubi.
For if any man be a hearer of [the] word and not a doer, he is like to a man considering his natural face in a mirror:
24 Awasa ayene umuro me, as a gya, asa ashawa sa iyizari ayita.
for he has considered himself and is gone away, and straightway he has forgotten what he was like.
25 Nanere unit ulle na adin yenju gegeme nan nyan shara ulau, ushara lidu kibolo, nbuntu, nin lin bun dortoe, nama unan lanzun nin shauzue ban iba ti unit une nmari awa sunani.
But he that fixes his view on [the] perfect law, that of liberty, and abides in [it], being not a forgetful hearer but a doer of [the] work, he shall be blessed in his doing.
26 Ulenge na ayira litime ame unan dortu Kutellẹri, ana adin kiffizu lilemme ba, adin rusuzu litime, udortu Kutellẹ me uhemari.
If any one think himself to be religious, not bridling his tongue, but deceiving his heart, this man's religion is vain.
27 Udortu-Kutellẹ ucicik ulau na Kutellẹ na Uchif bite din yenju, anare ubunu nikimon, nin na nan kul na less, nan nya nio mine, anin kesse litime nan nya in yih unanzang.
Pure and undefiled religion before God and the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, to keep oneself unspotted from the world.
