Santiago 1
1 IACQVES Iaincoaren eta Iesus Christ Iaunaren cerbitzariac, hamabi leinu barreyatuey, salutatione.
James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes who are scattered abroad: Greetings.
2 Ene anayeác, bozcario perfectotan educaçue tentatione diuersetara eror çaiteztenean:
Count it all joy, my brothers, when you experience various trials,
3 Daquiçuelaric ecen çuen fedearen phorogançác patientia engendratzen duela.
because you know that the testing of your faith produces endurance.
4 Baina patientiác obra perfectoa biu, perfect eta integro çaretençat, deusen falta etzaretelaric.
And let endurance have its full effect, so that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.
5 Eta baldin çuetaric cembeitec sapientia faltaric badu, esca bequió Iaincoari, ceinec emaiten baitraue guciey benignoqui, eta ez reprotchatzen: eta emanen çayó.
If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given to him.
6 Baina federequin esca bedi, batre dudatzen eztuela: ecen dudatzen duena, haiceaz erabilten eta tormentatzen den itsas bagaren pare da.
But he must ask in faith without doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea that is driven by the wind and tossed about.
7 Ezteçala bada estima guiçon harc deus Iaunaganic recebituren duela:
That person should not expect to receive anything from the Lord.
8 Guiçon gogo doblatacoa, inconstant da bere bide gucietan.
A double-minded man is unstable in all his ways.
9 Gloria bedi bada anaye conditione bachotacoa bere goratassunean:
The lowly brother should rejoice in being exalted,
10 Baina abrats dena, gloria bedi bere bachotassunean: ecen belhar lilia beçala iraganen da.
and the rich man should rejoice in being made low, because he will pass away like a flower of grass.
11 Ecen nola iguzquia beroarequin goratu eta, erre baita belharra, eta haren lilia erori, eta haren irudi ederra galdu: hala abratsa-ere bere bide gucietan chimalduren da.
For the sun rises with its scorching heat and withers the grass, and its flower falls, and its beautiful appearance is lost. So also will the rich man fade away in his pursuits.
12 Dahatsu da tentatione suffritzen duen guiçona: ecen phorogatu datenean recebituren duque, Iaunac hura maite duteney promettatu drauen vicitzeco coroá.
Blessed is the man who endures temptation, for when he has stood the test, he will receive the crown of life, which the Lord has promised to those who love him.
13 Nehorc, tentatzen denean, ezterrala Iaincoaz tentatzen dela: ecen Iaincoa ecin tenta daite gaizquiz, eta nehor eztu tentatzen.
No one should say when he is tempted, “I am being tempted by God,” for God is not tempted by evil, and he himself tempts no one.
14 Baina batbedera tentatzen da bere guthicia propriaz tiratzen eta bazcatzen denean.
But each person is tempted when he is drawn away and enticed by his own evil desires.
15 Guero guthiciá, concebitu duenean, ertzen da bekatuz: eta bekatuac acabatu denean, herio engendratzen du.
And when desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin. And when sin is fully grown, it brings forth death.
16 Etzaiteztela abusa, ene anaye maiteác.
Do not be deceived, my beloved brothers.
17 Donatione on oro, eta dohain perfect oro garaitic da arguién Aitaganic iausten dela, cein baithan ezpaita cambiamenduric, ez aldizcazco itzalic.
Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning.
18 Harc bere vorondatez engendratu vkan gaitu eguiazco hitzaz, haren creaturetaco primitiác beçala guinençát.
Of his own will he gave us birth by the word of truth so that we would be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures.
19 Halacotz, ene anaye maiteác, biz guiçon gucia ençutera lehiati, berantcor minçatzera, eta berantcor asserretzera.
So then, my beloved brothers, everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to anger.
20 Ecen guiçonaren asserreac Iaincoaren iustitiá eztu complitzen.
For the anger of man does not produce the righteousness of God.
21 Halacotz, iraitziric cithalqueria gucia eta malitiazco superfluitatea, emetassunequin recebi eçaçue, çuetan landatu hitza, ceinec salua ahal baititzaque çuen arimác.
Therefore, putting aside all filthiness and rampant wickedness, humbly receive the implanted word, which is able to save your souls.
22 Eta çareten hitzaren eguile eta ez solament ençule, ceuron buruäc enganatzen dituçuela.
But be doers of the word and not hearers only. Otherwise, you are deceiving yourselves.
23 Ecen baldin norbeit hitzaren ençule bada eta ez eguile, hura mirailean bere beguitharte naturala consideratzen duen guiçonaren pare da.
For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man who looks at his face in a mirror.
24 Ecen consideratu vkan du bere buruä, eta ioan içan da, eta bertan ahance çayó nolaco cen.
For he looks at himself and goes away, and then immediately forgets what he looks like.
25 Baina miratu datena Legue perfectoan, cein baita libertatezcoa, eta hartan perseueratu duqueena, ceren ezpaitate ençule ahanzcor içan, baina obraren eguile: hura dohatsu içanen da bere eguinean.
But he who looks into the perfect law, the law of liberty, and abides by it, is not a forgetful hearer but a doer who acts. He will be blessed in what he does.
26 Baldin cembeitec vste badu religioso dela çuen artean, bridatzen eztuelaric bere mihia, baina bere bihotza enganatzen duelaric, halacoaren religionea vano da.
If anyone among you considers himself to be religious but does not bridle his tongue, he deceives himself and his religion is worthless.
27 Religione pura eta macula gabea Iainco eta Aita baithan, haur da, çurtzén eta emazte alhargunén visitatzea bere tribulationetan: eta macula gabe bere buruären beguiratzea mundu hunetaric.
Pure and undefiled religion before God our Father is this: to look after orphans and widows in their affliction and to keep oneself unstained by the world.
