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, a slave of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, sends greeting to the twelve tribes that are scattered abroad.
2 Ti eshuwotso! k'osh k'osh naari fadewo itats b́bodor geenúshit keewwotsi it daatstsok'o woshde'er taawwere.
My brothers, when you are beset by various temptations, count it all joy,
3 It imnetiyo b́fadewo k'amo itsh daatsituwo b́wottsok'owo dandek'etute.
because you know that the testing of your faith is working out endurance.
4 K'amonowere it kup'o ik jago itsh b́shaprawo s'eenonat itn bodtswotsi woshituwo wotowe.
But let endurance have its perfect work, so that you may be perfect and entire, not lacking in anything.
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.
If any one of you is lacking in wisdom, let him ask it from the God who gives to all men freely and without upbraiding; and it will be given to him.
6 Ernmó asho eegonor gito b́gímberawo amande'er k'onuwe, git gimbiru asho jongon gifniyeyat giwwtsts aatsk'aroniye bíariye.
But let him ask in faith, without wavering; for he who wavers is like a surge of the sea, wind-driven and tossed.
7 Mannaari asho doonzoke ik jago b́daatsituwok'o bísh ark'aye.
Such a man need not suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord,
8 Han b́wotituwere git níbo detst b́weerindatse hake baka bíetiruwoshe.
double-minded as he is, unstable at every turn.
9 B́ beewon dashan wotts eshuwo Ik'o damban bín b́ detsetwosh geneúwowe,
Let a brother in humble circumstances glory in his exaltation;
10 Ash gaalo bodi fuundok'o b́ ooshetuowotse b́ beewon dambaan wotts eshuwo Ik'o b́bewo dashan b́woshiyalor gene'úwowe,
but a rich brother, in his humiliation; because like the flower of the grass the rich man will pass away.
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 as the sun comes up with a burning heat, it withers the grass, and its flowers fall, and the grace of the fashion of it perishes; so also shall the rich man fade away amid his pursuits.
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 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 Ik'o gond keewon noon b́ fadrawotse mank'o bíwere konnoru b́ fadrawotse asho b́ fadeyor «Ik'o taan fadre» etk'aye.
When he is being tempted, let no one say, "It is God who tempts me," for God cannot be tempted with evil, nor does he tempt any man.
14 Ernmó asho ik ikon b́ fadeyir b́ took tewnon geetseyar bí ant'elcewore.
But each man is tempted by his own lusts that allure and entice him.
15 Haniyhakon tewunu bmaac'or morro shuwitwaniye. Morronu s'eenon bi eeniyakon k'iro shuwituwane.
Then lust conceives and gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is mature, brings forth death.
16 Shuneets eshuwwotso! it ant'elcherawok'owa!
Do not be deceived, my brothers!
17 Sheengts imonat s'een wotts deer jamo Ik'okne, han b́weetuwe c'ishok'o wona wonewo deshaw shááni niho Ik'okne.
Every good gift and every perfect boon is from above, and is ever coming down to us from the Father of the heavenly lights, with whom is no variation nor shadow of eclipse.
18 Ik'o bí azts jam shintswotsitse gawdek't ari aap'on noon shuure.
Because he willed, he gave us birth through the word of truth, so that we should be a kind of first-fruits among his creatures.
19 Shuneets eshuwotso! han batk'ayere, ash jamo k'ebosh káártso, noonkeewonat fayosh mango wotowe.
Mark this well, my dear brothers. Let every man be swift in hearing, slow in speaking, slow in growing angry;
20 Ash fayo Ik'i kááwo daatsiratse.
for a man’s anger does not further the righteous purpose 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.
So strip off all filthiness and superfluity of wickedness, and in meekness receive the implanted 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.
And become doers of the Word, and not merely hearers, deceiving yourselves.
23 Ik' aap'ts aap'o finats jiitsraw asho bín bíazeets shiitso mastayiton bek'iru ashok'oyiye,
Because if any one is a hearer of the Word and not a doer, he is like a man who looks at his natural face in a mirror;
24 Ashaan b́shiitso mastyiton b́s'iliyakon ametuwe, awuk'o b́wottsok'owo manoor batni b́k'riti.
for after he has looked carefully at himself, he goes away, and at once forgets what he is like.
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 the man who looks closely into the perfect law - the law of liberty - and continues looking, this man will be blessed in his deed because he is not a hearer who forgets, but a doer who does.
26 Bí albero korde'aniyere Ik'o Ik'irwe eteet asho b́ tookoniye b́ dashiri, b́ ik'iyonwere k'awuntso deshatse.
If a man thinks himself to be religious, and yet does not bridle his tongue, but deceives his own religion,
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.
and undefiled before our God and Father, to look after orphans and widows in their affliction, and ever to keep himself unspotted from the world.
