Ya:mese 2
1 Na fi dunu! Dilia da Hina Gode Yesu Gelesu, hadigi Hinadafa, amo Ea hou lalegaguiba: le, dilia dunu eno ilia dabua ba: su dawa: beba: le, ilima hisu hisu agoane hamomu da dilima hamedei.
My brethren, you must not make distinctions between one man and another while you are striving to maintain faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, who is our glory.
2 Agoane dawa: ma! Dilia gilisisu amoga bagade gagui dunu gouli lobo sogoga salasu, abula ida: iwane ga: i amola hame gagui dunu abula wadela: i ga: i, ela gilisili masea,
For suppose a man comes into one of your meetings wearing gold rings and fine clothes, and there also comes in a poor man wearing shabby clothes,
and you pay court to the one who wears the fine clothes, and say, "Sit here; this is a good place;" while to the poor man you say, "Stand there, or sit on the floor at my feet;"
4 dilia bagade gagui dunu ema amane sia: sea, “Fisu ida: iwane guiguda: fima!” be hame gagui dunuma amane sia: sea, “Di ga leloma o na emo gadenene fima!” dilia amane sia: sea, dilia dunu hisu hisu agoane ba: sa amola dilia asigi dawa: su ganodini wadela: le fofada: beba: le, dunu da hisu hisu ba: sa amo olelesa.
is it not plain that in your hearts you have little faith, seeing that you have become judges full of wrong thoughts?
5 Na dogolegei fi dunu! Nabima! Gode da hame gagui dunu ilia baligiliwane dafawaneyale dawa: su hou amola Ea Hinadafa Hou E da Ema asigi dunuma imunusa: ilegele sia: i liligi, amo ilia gaguma: ne, Gode da ilima ilegei.
Listen, my dearly-loved brethren. Has not God chosen those whom the world regards as poor to be rich in faith and heirs of the Kingdom which He has promised to those that love Him?
6 Be dilia da hame gagui dunuma gadesa. Be nowa dunu ilia da dilia hou wadela: sa, amola dilia hou wadela: musa: dili fofada: su dunuma fofada: musa: hiouginanala: ? Bagade gagui dunu ili fawane!
But you have put dishonour upon the poor man. Yet is it not the rich who grind you down? Are not they the very people who drag you into the Law courts? --
7 Bagade gagui dunu ilia da dio ida: iwane gala Gode da dilima asuli dagoi, amo wadela: musa: lasogole sia: sa.
and the very people who speak evil of the noble Name by which you are called?
8 Gode Ea Hinadafa Hou sema da Gode Sia: amo ganodini agoane dedei diala, “Disu da: i hodo amoma asigi hou defele, eno dunuma asigima!” Amo nabawane hamosea, dilia da hou ida: iwane hamosu dunu agoane ba: mu.
If, however, you are keeping the Law as supreme, in obedience to the Commandment which says "You are to love your fellow man just as you love yourself," you are acting rightly.
9 Be dilia da dunu ilia dabua ba: su hou amo dawa: beba: le, ilima hisu hisu agoane hamosea, dilia da wadela: i hamosa. Dilia da agoane hamosea, Gode Ea sema da dilima diliwaneya udidisa.
But if you are making distinctions between one man and another, you are guilty of sin, and are convicted by the Law as offenders.
10 Nowa dunu da Gode Ea sema afadafa fawane wadela: sea, e da sema huluanedafa wadela: lesi dagoi.
A man who has kept the Law as a whole, but has failed to keep some one command, has become guilty of violating all.
11 Gode da amane hamoma: ne sia: i, “Inia uda mae adole lama!” E da eno amane sia: i, “Dunu eno bogoma: ne mae medoma!” Amaiba: le, di da inia uda mae adole lale, dunu eno fane legesea, di da sema wadela: su dunu.
For He who said, "Do not commit adultery," also said, "Do not commit murder," and if you are a murderer, although not an adulterer, you have become an offender against the Law.
12 Gode da hobea, sema da ninima hahawane halegale lalusu iabe amo dawa: le, ninima fofada: mu. Amo dawa: beba: le, dilia sia: noga: iwane amola hou ida: iwane hamoma.
Speak and act as those should who are expecting to be judged by the Law of freedom.
13 Bai Gode da dunu amo da eno dunu ea hou hame gogolema: ne olofosa, ema gogolema: ne olofosu hame imunu. Be asigiwane gogolema: ne olofosu hou da se imunusa: fofada: su hou baligisa.
For he who shows no mercy will have judgement given against him without mercy; but mercy triumphs over judgement.
14 Na fi dunu! Dunu afae da ea lafidili fawane, “Na da Gode dawa:” sia: sea, be hou ida: iwane hame hamosea, amo hou da dunu ea hou hame fidisa. Agoane dafawaneyale dawa: su hou da amo dunu gaga: ma: bela: ? Hame mabu!
What good is it, my brethren, if a man professes to have faith, and yet his actions do not correspond? Can such faith save him?
15 Dilia fi amo ganodini, dilia fi dunu o uda da abula hame amola ha: i manu hame, agoaiwane esalebe ba: sea,
Suppose a Christian brother or sister is poorly clad or lacks daily food,
16 be dilia lafidili fawane ilima, “Na da di Gode fidima: ne sia: ne gadosa. Lalu houma amola ha: i manu hahawane moma!” amo fawane sia: sea, be ea da: i hodo hame fidisia, amo da hou noga: idafa? Hame mabu!
and one of you says to them, "I wish you well; keep yourselves warm and well fed," and yet you do not give them what they need; what is the use of that?
17 Dafawaneyale dawa: su hou da amaiwane diala. Di da dia asigi dawa: su ganodini fawane dafawaneyale dawa: su hou lalegagui, be dunu eno ilima fidima: ne hame hawa: hamosea, dia dafawaneyale dawa: su hou da bogosu liligi agoai galebe.
So also faith, if it is unaccompanied by obedience, has no life in it--so long as it stands alone.
18 Be dunu afadafa da amane sia: mu, “Dunu afae da dafawaneyale dawa: su hou lalegagui. Dunu eno da fidisu hawa: hamosa,” amane sia: mu. Na da bu adole imunu, amane, “Fidisu hou mae hamone, dafawaneyale dawa: su hou da hamedei liligi agoane. Dunu da fidisu hawa: hamosea fawane, e da dafawaneyale dawa: su hou lalegagui dagoi olelesa.”
Nay, some one will say, "You have faith, I have actions: prove to me your faith apart from corresponding actions and I will prove mine to you by my actions.
19 Gode afadafa esala, amo dilia dafawaneyale dawa: bela: ? Defea! Be Fio a: silibu huluane, ilia amo defele dafawaneyale dawa: beba: le, beda: iba: le yagugusa.
You believe that God is one, and you are quite right: evil spirits also believe this, and shudder."
20 Gagaoui di! Udigili mae hawa: hamone, dafawaneyale dawa: su hou lafidili sia: sa, amo da hamedei liligi.
But, idle boaster, are you willing to be taught how it is that faith apart from obedience is worthless? Take the case of Abraham our forefather.
21 Gode da ninia aowalali ada A: ibalaha: me habodane afadenene bu moloidafa hamoi ba: bela: ? A: ibalaha: me da Aisage oloda da: iya ligisi, amo hawa: hamobeba: le, Gode da A: ibalaha: me afadenene bu moloidafa hamoi dagoi ba: i.
Was it, or was it not, because of his actions that he was declared to be righteous as the result of his having offered up his son Isaac upon the altar?
22 Dilia hame ba: sala: ? A: ibalaha: me ea dafawaneyale dawa: su hou amola ea hawa: hamosu, da gilisili ea houdafa olelesu. Ea hawa: hamobeba: le, ea dafawaneyale dawa: le lalegagusu hou da dafawane olelei.
You notice that his faith was co-operating with his actions, and that by his actions his faith was perfected;
23 Amaiba: le, Gode Sia: Dedei da dafawane ba: i, amane, “A: ibalaha: me da Gode dafawaneyale dawa: beba: le, Gode da A: ibalaha: me afadenene bu moloidafa hamoi dagoi ba: i.” Amanoba, Gode da A: ibalaha: mema “Na na: iyado” dio asuli.
and the Scripture was fulfilled which says, "And Abraham believed God, and his faith was placed to his credit as righteousness," and he received the name of 'God's friend.'
24 Amaiba: le, noga: le dawa: ma! Dunu da gilisili hawa: hamobeba: le amola dafawaneyale dawa: beba: le, Gode da amo dunu moloidafa hamoi ba: sa.
You all see that it is because of actions that a man is pronounced righteous, and not simply because of faith.
25 Musa: wadela: i uda ea dio amo La: ihabe, ea hou agoaiwane ba: su. E da Isala: ili desega misi dunu ilima aowalalu, ilima hobeale masunu logo olelei. Amo hawa: hamobeba: le, Gode da La: iha: be moloidafa hamoi dagoi ba: i.
In the same way also was not the notorious sinner Rahab declared to be righteous because of her actions when she welcomed the spies and hurriedly helped them to escape another way?
26 Dunu da: i hodo da a: silibu hame galea, amo da bogoi. Amo defele, dafawaneyale dawa: su hou da hawa: hamosu hame galea, amo amolawane da bogoi agoai ba: sa.
For just as a human body without a spirit is lifeless, so also faith is lifeless if it is unaccompanied by obedience.
