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, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes who are in the dispersion: Health.
2 Yiran vat nmanghari nuwana ning, kubi ko na uniyu ngangan nse minu,
My brethren, count it all joy, when you fall into diverse trials;
3 Yinnon nworu uyinnu sa uyenu mine din dasu nin nayi akone sa ligan.
knowing that the proof of your faith works out patience.
4 Na ayi akone kulu katuwa me, lnan lawa anit awasara, anan nsalin ndiru nimon.
Let patience, therefore, have a perfect effect, that you may be perfect and complete, deficient 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.
If any of you be deficient in wisdom, let him ask it of God: who gives to all men liberally, and upbraids 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, being not at all irresolute: for he who is irresolute, is like a wave of the sea, driven by the wind and tossed.
7 Na unit une nwa ceo kibinayi nworu aba seru imene na adi nin suwẹ kitin in Chikilari ba;
Now 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.
A man of two minds, is unstable in all his ways.
9 Na gwana ule na asali nin nimon nacara ase ngongong nan nya liyisin me.
Moreover, let the brother of humble condition glory in his exaltation,
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; for as a garden flower he shall 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 rises with a burning heat, and withers the herb, and its flower falls down, and the beauty of its appearance perishes: so also shall the rich man fade in his ways.
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 sustains trial, for becoming an approved person, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord has promised to them who 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 one who is tempted say, Certainly I am tempted by God: for God is incapable of being tempted by evil things, and he 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, when he is 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, brings forth sin, and sin, being perfected, brings forth death.
16 Nana ning yenje iwa risuzu minu.
Be not deceived, 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, is from above, descended from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variableness, nor shadow of turning.
18 Kutellẹ na fere ani nari ulai unuzu ligbulang kidegen, bara tinan so kumat ncizinu nan nya makekewẹ.
Of his own will, he begot us by the word of truth, that we should be a kind of 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,
Wherefore, 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 the wrath of man works not out the righteousness of God.
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, putting away all filthiness, and overflowing of maliciousness, embrace 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.
And be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves by false reasoning.
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 one be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like a man who views his natural face in a mirror;
24 Awasa ayene umuro me, as a gya, asa ashawa sa iyizari ayita.
for he who looks at himself and goes away, and immediately forgets what kind of person he was.
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 who looks narrowly into the perfect law of liberty, and perseveres, not becoming a forgetful hearer, but a doer of its work, shall, in so doing, be happy.
26 Ulenge na ayira litime ame unan dortu Kutellẹri, ana adin kiffizu lilemme ba, adin rusuzu litime, udortu Kutellẹ me uhemari.
If any one among you think to be religious, who bridles not his tongue, but deceives his own heart, the religion of this person 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 religion, and undefiled, with God, even the Father, is this: To take care of orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep one's self unspotted from the world.
