Yak'ob 1
1 Dats jamats bad'ts tatse git jirwotssh Ik'onat doonzo Iyesus Krstos guutso wottso Yak'oboke wosheets jamó, jeno itsh wotowe.
James, servant of God and of our Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes of the dispersion, greetings.
2 Ti eshuwotso! k'osh k'osh naari fadewo itats b́bodor geenúshit keewwotsi it daatstsok'o woshde'er taawwere.
My brothers, when you have fallen into various trials, consider everything a joy,
3 It imnetiyo b́fadewo k'amo itsh daatsituwo b́wottsok'owo dandek'etute.
knowing that the proving of your faith exercises patience,
4 K'amonowere it kup'o ik jago itsh b́shaprawo s'eenonat itn bodtswotsi woshituwo wotowe.
and patience brings a work to perfection, so that you may be perfect and whole, deficient in nothing.
5 Ititse dani teleefo bísh b́shapts asho fa'e wotiyal Ik'o k'onuwe, Ik'onwere bísh imetwe, bí jametsosh shiitso bí aa'awo tewudi doon imetwo Izar Izeweriye.
But if anyone among you is in need of wisdom, let him petition God, who gives abundantly to all without reproach, and it shall be given to him.
6 Ernmó asho eegonor gito b́gímberawo amande'er k'onuwe, git gimbiru asho jongon gifniyeyat giwwtsts aatsk'aroniye bíariye.
But he should ask with faith, doubting nothing. For he who doubts is like a wave on the ocean, which is moved about by the wind and carried away;
7 Mannaari asho doonzoke ik jago b́daatsituwok'o bísh ark'aye.
then a man should not consider that he would receive anything from the Lord.
8 Han b́wotituwere git níbo detst b́weerindatse hake baka bíetiruwoshe.
For a man who is of two minds is inconstant in all his ways.
9 B́ beewon dashan wotts eshuwo Ik'o damban bín b́ detsetwosh geneúwowe,
Now a humble brother should glory in his exaltation,
10 Ash gaalo bodi fuundok'o b́ ooshetuowotse b́ beewon dambaan wotts eshuwo Ik'o b́bewo dashan b́woshiyalor gene'úwowe,
and a rich one, in his humiliation, for he will pass away like the flower of the grass.
11 Aawo b́ k'ees'onton b́keshor bodo shuuk'iniye b́k'riti, b́ fúndonuwere ooyniye b́wutsiti, bíazisheengonwere t'afniye b́wutsiti, mank'owere gaalets asho b́fiinon b́jaakfere t'afniye b́wutsiti.
For the sun has risen with a scorching heat, and has dried the grass, and its flower has fallen off, and the appearance of its beauty has perished. So also will the rich one wither away, according to his paths.
12 Doonzo b́ taartsok'on bín shuntswotssh b́ imet kashi akililiyo b́ dek'etuwosh fadeyo k'amar kúp'it asho deereke.
Blessed is the man who suffers temptation. For when he has been proven, he shall receive the crown of life which God has promised to those who love him.
13 Ik'o gond keewon noon b́ fadrawotse mank'o bíwere konnoru b́ fadrawotse asho b́ fadeyor «Ik'o taan fadre» etk'aye.
No one should say, when he is tempted, that he was tempted by God. For God does not entice toward evils, and he himself tempts no one.
14 Ernmó asho ik ikon b́ fadeyir b́ took tewnon geetseyar bí ant'elcewore.
Yet truly, each one is tempted by his own desires, having been enticed and drawn away.
15 Haniyhakon tewunu bmaac'or morro shuwitwaniye. Morronu s'eenon bi eeniyakon k'iro shuwituwane.
Thereafter, when desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin. Yet truly sin, when it has been consummated, produces death.
16 Shuneets eshuwwotso! it ant'elcherawok'owa!
And so, do not choose to go astray, my most beloved brothers.
17 Sheengts imonat s'een wotts deer jamo Ik'okne, han b́weetuwe c'ishok'o wona wonewo deshaw shááni niho Ik'okne.
Every excellent gift and every perfect gift is from above, descending from the Father of lights, with whom there is no change, nor any shadow of alteration.
18 Ik'o bí azts jam shintswotsitse gawdek't ari aap'on noon shuure.
For by his own will he produced us through the Word of truth, so that we might be a kind of beginning among his creatures.
19 Shuneets eshuwotso! han batk'ayere, ash jamo k'ebosh káártso, noonkeewonat fayosh mango wotowe.
You know this, my most beloved brothers. So let every man be quick to listen, but slow to speak and slow to anger.
20 Ash fayo Ik'i kááwo daatsiratse.
For the anger of man does not accomplish the justice of God.
21 Hansha kiimonat weerigondi ayonowere ok k'aúbayr Ik'o it nibots b́ toktsonat it kasho kashiyo falitu aap'man it tooko dashan detson de'ere.
Because of this, having cast away all uncleanness and an abundance of malice, receive with meekness the newly-grafted Word, which is able to save your souls.
22 Ik'i aap'tso finats jiitswere bako it tooko dashfetsr shish mec'ro shishfwotsi wotk'ayere.
So be doers of the Word, and not listeners only, deceiving yourselves.
23 Ik' aap'ts aap'o finats jiitsraw asho bín bíazeets shiitso mastayiton bek'iru ashok'oyiye,
For if anyone is a listener of the Word, but not also a doer, he is comparable to a man gazing into a mirror upon the face that he was born with;
24 Ashaan b́shiitso mastyiton b́s'iliyakon ametuwe, awuk'o b́wottsok'owo manoor batni b́k'riti.
and after considering himself, he went away and promptly forgot what he had seen.
25 Wotowa eree nas' kishit b́ nemo sheengshr s'iilr bín kup'ituwo bínowere shiir baterawo, finats jitsitu asho b́ finon deereke b́ wotiti.
But he who gazes upon the perfect law of liberty, and who remains in it, is not a forgetful hearer, but instead a doer of the work. He shall be blessed in what he does.
26 Bí albero korde'aniyere Ik'o Ik'irwe eteet asho b́ tookoniye b́ dashiri, b́ ik'iyonwere k'awuntso deshatse.
But if anyone considers himself to be religious, but he does not restrain his tongue, but instead seduces his own heart: such a one’s religion is vanity.
27 Ik'o niho shinatse s'ayinonat kimaw hayimanotiyo, nihonat indo k'irts nanaúwotssh, aaninu bokenih k'irts máátsuwotssh bo kic'or boon tep'o, b́ tookonowere datsanatsi kimatse kordek'oniye.
This is religion, clean and undefiled before God the Father: to visit orphans and widows in their tribulations, and to keep yourself immaculate, apart from this age.
