Yak'ob 2
1 Tieshuwotso! mangts doonzo Iyesus Krstosn amaniruwotsitna wotiyal iko ikoniyere bogfe eton asho bogabogshk'ayere.
My brothers, don’t hold the faith of our glorious Lord Jesus Christ with partiality.
2 Git ashuwots it kakuweyiru bewokok weetune, iko b́kishi jabots awntsi k'ubelo geddek'tsonat tah sheengo tah dek'tso gaaletska, k'osho kiimts tahidoro tahts tugretska,
For if a man with a gold ring, in fine clothing, comes into your synagogue, and a poor man in filthy clothing also comes in,
3 Sheengiru tah tahdek'ts asho mangiyon «Sheeng beyokanats bede'e» it eteti. Tugretsonmó «Neyere manoke need'owe, wee ttufishiroots bede'e» it eteti,
and you pay special attention to him who wears the fine clothing and say, “Sit here in a good place;” and you tell the poor man, “Stand there,” or “Sit by my footstool”
4 Eshe, mank'oon it dagotse k'osh k'oshewonat bogabogshr angisho it angshituwok'o itsh be'eratsa?
haven’t you shown partiality among yourselves, and become judges with evil thoughts?
5 Shuneets eshuwotso! k'ewere, Ik'o amanon galetswotsi bo wotitwok'onat bín shuntswotssho b́ jangits mengsto bo naatetwok'o datsanatsi tugretswotsi marat'de'atsa?
Listen, my beloved brothers. Didn’t God choose those who are poor in this world to be rich in faith and heirs of the Kingdom which he promised to those who love him?
6 Itmó tugretswotsiye it gac'iri, itn dadaat angshi moo maants iti geetsirwots gaaletswotsiyoshna?
But you have dishonored the poor man. Don’t the rich oppress you and personally drag you before the courts?
7 It bín it s'eegeyiru sheeng shúútso c'ashiruwots bonoshna?
Don’t they blaspheme the honorable name by which you are called?
8 «K'osh asho ntookok'o woshde'er shune» et S'ayin mas'aafotse guut'etso Ik'i mengestitsi nemo it s'eentsiyal sheenge it finiri.
However, if you fulfill the royal law according to the Scripture, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself,” you do well.
9 Ash dago it boga bogshiyalmó morre it finiri, nemo it beshiruwotse iti k'oretute.
But if you show partiality, you commit sin, being convicted by the law as transgressors.
10 Asho tzaziwotsitsere iko gaahr oorts jamwotsi b́ s'eentsiyal dab jamwotsi b́ gaktsok'owe taaweti.
For whoever keeps the whole law, and yet stumbles in one point, he has become guilty of all.
11 «Wido amk'aye» etts doonzo mank'o «Ud'k'aye» etre, mansh wido amo nk'azal dab n ud'iyal nemo gaakrne.
For he who said, “Do not commit adultery,” also said, “Do not commit murder.” Now if you do not commit adultery but do murder, you have become a transgressor of the law.
12 S'ayin kishit nemoke angsho dek'osh fa'a ashuwotskok'o keewwere, mank'owere k'aluwere.
So speak and so do as men who are to be judged by the law of freedom.
13 Ik' angsho maarraw ashuwotssh mhreti woshratse, b́ wotefere mhretiyo angsho daa'ituwe.
For judgment is without mercy to him who has shown no mercy. Mercy triumphs over judgment.
14 T eshúwotso! asho imnetiyo detsfe bí etal, ando aani b́ imnetiyo sheeng finon kitso b́ k'azal eebi bísh b́ k'aliti? B́ imnetiyo bín kashiyosh falituwa?
What good is it, my brothers, if a man says he has faith, but has no works? Can faith save him?
15 Bo tahituwonat bo meetuwo deshaw eeshuwotsnat mishúwotsn bobeyal,
And if a brother or sister is naked and in lack of daily food,
16 ititsere iko bo beyosh geyit keewo imaniyere «Jeenon ameree! itsh k'ec'ee! woorwere!» bí etal eebi boosh b́ k'aliti?
and one of you tells them, “Go in peace. Be warmed and filled;” yet you didn’t give them the things the body needs, what good is it?
17 Mank'o sheeng fin deshaw imnetiyo k'irkee.
Even so faith, if it has no works, is dead in itself.
18 Ernmó «Nee imnetiyo detsfne, taawere sheeg fino detsfe» etetuwo b́ beyal, «N imnetiyo finalo taash kitsuwe, taawere t finon t imnetiyo kitsituwe» etetuwe.
Yes, a man will say, “You have faith, and I have works.” Show me your faith without works, and I will show you my faith by my works.
19 Nee «Ik Ik'o fa'ee» etaat amanirune, sheenge, amanonere Fo'erawwotswor amanirune, shatonowere k'ewirune.
You believe that God is one. You do well. The demons also believe—and shudder.
20 Nee dartsano! imnetiyo finalo k'awuntso b́ deshawok'o danosh geefiya?
But do you want to know, vain man, that faith apart from works is dead?
21 Nonihi Abraham b́ naayi Yishak'i wosh t'intseyru t'arap'ezats Ik'osh wosho woshdek't b́ t'intsor kááw b́ wot b́ finonalneya?
Wasn’t Abraham our father justified by works, in that he offered up Isaac his son on the altar?
22 Eshe imnetiyo finonton ikoke b́ teshtsok'onat imnetiyo finon s'een b́ wottsok'o bek'irute?
You see that faith worked with his works, and by works faith was perfected.
23 S'ayin Mas'aafotse «Abraham Ik'o bí amani, b́ imnetiyonwere kááw wotat bísh b́ taaweyi» ett aap'ets aap'o s'eenbwutsi, hank'on Ik' shun ash b́woti etiyi.
So the Scripture was fulfilled which says, “Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him as righteousness,” and he was called the friend of God.
24 Eshe asho b́ kááwit imneti mec'ron b́woterawon finono dabde'er b́wotsok'o bek'etúnee.
You see then that by works a man is justified, and not only by faith.
25 Widetsu Ra'ab Isra'elitse woshetswotsi b mootse bdek'or k'osh weeron boametuwok'o bwoshor bi bfinonon kááweratsna?
In the same way, wasn’t Rahab the prostitute also justified by works when she received the messengers and sent them out another way?
26 Kashaatse k'aleets meetso k'irkee, mank'owere finatse k'aleets imnetiyo k'irkee.
For as the body apart from the spirit is dead, even so faith apart from works is dead.
