Ya:mese 1
1 Na da Ya: mese, Gode amola Hina Gode Yesu Gelesu, Ea hawa: hamosu dunu esala. Na da dilia Gode Ea fi dunu osobo bagade fifi asi gala amo ganodini esala, dilima asigi sia: dedesa.
James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, To the twelve tribes of the Dispersion: Greetings.
2 Na fi dunu! Adoba: su hou hisu hisu da dilima doaga: sea, mae da: i dione, hahawane ba: ma! Bai Gode da dilima adoba: su hou amo logo hame hedofasea, dilia da mae dafane lelebeba: le, bu gasawane leloma: ne dawa: mu.
Consider it pure joy, my brothers, when you encounter trials of many kinds,
because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance.
4 Be Gode da dilia hou afadenene ida: idafa hamomusa: dawa: lalebeba: le, dilia amo hou ida: iwanedafa amoga doaga: ma: ne, mae dafane gebewane hahawane masa.
Allow perseverance to finish its work, so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.
5 Be nowa dunu da bagade dawa: su hou hame galea, defea, e da amo lama: ne Godema sia: ne gadomu da defea. Gode da dunu huluane ilima mae hihini hahawane dogolegele imunusa: dawa: beba: le, E da amo hou imunu.
Now if any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him.
6 Be dilia Godema sia: ne gadosea, dilia logo osea: i hame, be afae fawane asili, dafawaneyale dawa: iwane sia: ne gadomu da defea. Be nowa da dafawaneyale hame dawa: sea, e da hano gafului foga sefasisa agoane ba: sa.
But he must ask in faith, without doubting, because he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind.
That man should not expect to receive anything from the Lord.
8 Agoai dunu, e da la: ididili la: ididili logo aduna masusa: dawa: beba: le, e da Hinadafa da ema ea hanai liligi imunusa: hamedei agoane ba: mu.
He is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.
9 Yesu Ea fa: no bobogesu dunu liligi hame gagui dunu, amo Gode da gaguia gadosea, e da hahawane ba: mu da defea.
The brother in humble circumstances should exult in his high position.
10 Be Gode da liligi bagade gagui dunu ea hou fonobosea, e amola hahawane ba: mu da defea. Bai bagade gagui dunu ilia da hedolo biomu gisi amo ea sogea defele hedolo mugulumu.
But the one who is rich should exult in his low position, because he will pass away like a flower of the field.
11 Eso ma: sea, gia: i bagadeba: le, amo gisi da hedolo biole, gugunufinisi dagoi ba: sa. Amo defele, bagade gagui dunu da bidi lasu hawa: hamonanea, e da hedolowane gugunufinisi dagoi ba: mu.
For the sun rises with scorching heat and withers the plant; its flower falls and its beauty is lost. So too, the rich man will fade away in the midst of his pursuits.
12 Nowa dunu da adoba: su hou amo ganodini ea hou hame yolesisia, e da hahawane gala. Bai e da mae yolesili, amo adoba: su hou baligisia, Gode da Ema asigi dunu ilima imunu ilegele sia: i liligi amo esalusudafa habuga, bidi agoane ema imunu.
Blessed is the man who perseveres under trial, because when he has stood the test, he will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love Him.
13 Be adoba: su hou da ema dafama: ne olelemusa: doaga: sea, “Gode da nama dafama: ne olelesa!” amo sia: mu da defea hame. Bai wadela: i dafama: ne adoba: su hou da Godema doaga: mu da hamedei. Amola E da dunu afae ema dafama: ne hamedafa adoba: sa.
When tempted, no one should say, “God is tempting me.” For God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does He tempt anyone.
14 Be adoba: su hou da dunu hiougisia, e da fedege agoane hisu wadela: i hanai asigi dawa: suga saniga: i dagoi ba: sa.
But each one is tempted when by his own evil desires he is lured away and enticed.
15 Amasea, ea wadela: i hanai hou da ea dogo ganodini wadela: i hou mano agoane hamone, amo da lalelegesea wadela: i houdafa ba: sa. Amasea, wadela: i hou da asigilasea, amo da mano eno hamosa, amo da bogosu.
Then after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death.
16 Na dogolegei fi dunu! Na da Sa: ida: ne ea dilima ogogomu higa: i gala mabu.
Do not be deceived, my beloved brothers.
17 Ida: iwane iasu liligi huluanedafa da Hebene sogega maha. Gode, amo da muagado gamali huluane hahamoi dunu, E da afadenemu mae dawa: le, gasi hamomusa: sinidigimu hame dawa: E da iasu liligi ida: iwane gala huluane iaha.
Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, with whom there is no change or shifting shadow.
18 Gode da hanaiba: le, Ea Sia: dafawane amoga nini hahamoi dagoi. Ea da nini Ea hahamoi liligi amoma bisilua esaloma: ne, nini hahamoi dagoi.
He chose to give us birth through the word of truth, that we would be a kind of firstfruits of His creation.
19 Na dogolegei fi dunu! Dawa: ma! Dunu huluane ilia ha: giwane nabimu da defea. Be hedolowane bu mae adole ima amola hedolo mae ougima.
My beloved brothers, understand this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to anger,
20 Osobo bagade dunu ilia ougi hou da Gode Ea ida: iwane hawa: hamosu hame fidisa.
for man’s anger does not bring about the righteousness that God desires.
21 Amaiba: le, wadela: i hou amola nigima: hou huluane yolesima. Godema nabasu hou hamoma. Gode Ea sia: amo da dilima gaga: su liligi, E da dilia dogo ganodini hawa: agoane bugimusa: dawa: Dilia amo sia: lalegaguma.
Therefore, get rid of all moral filth and every expression of evil, and humbly accept the word planted in you, which can save your souls.
22 Dilia ogogole Gode Ea sia: gega fawane mae nabima. Be Gode Ea sia: nabawane hamoma.
Be doers of the word, and not hearers only. Otherwise, you are deceiving yourselves.
23 Nowa dunu da Gode Ea sia: gega nabalu be nabawane hame hamosea, amo da dunu e da ea odagi ba: ma: ne daya ba: su ganodini ba: sa agoane.
For anyone who hears the word but does not carry it out is like a man who looks at his face in a mirror,
24 Amo dunu da ea odagi ea ba: su ba: lalu, asili, e da hedolowane ea odagi ba: su hou bu gogolesa.
and after observing himself goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like.
25 Be nowa da sema ida: iwanedafa (amo da osobo bagade dunu halegalewane masa: ne hamosa), amo e da ha: giwane mae yolesili ba: sea amola nabawane mae gogolele hamonanea, amo dunu da osobo bagadega esalea, Gode Ea hahawane dogolegele iasu ba: mu.
But the one who looks intently into the perfect law of freedom, and continues to do so—not being a forgetful hearer, but an effective doer—he will be blessed in what he does.
26 Nowa dunu da Gode Ea hou lalegagui dagoi hi dawa: sea, defea, e da ea gona: su amoma ouligisuwane esalumu da defea. Nowa dunu da ea gona: su amoma ouligisawane hame esalea, e da Gode hame dawa: amola hi da hima ogogosa.
If anyone considers himself religious and yet does not bridle his tongue, he deceives his heart and his religion is worthless.
27 Ada Gode da Ema fa: no bobogesu houdafa amo fawane hahawane dogolegele ba: sa. Gode da Ema fa: no bobogesu houdafa agoane ba: sa: - Amo da guluba: mano ouligisu hou, didalo se nababeba: le ouligisu hou, amola wadela: i osobo bagade hou amoga afafasu hou.
Pure and undefiled religion before our God and Father is this: to care for orphans and widows in their distress, and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.
