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 bondservant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ: to the twelve tribes who are scattered over the world. All good wishes.
2 Ti eshuwotso! k'osh k'osh naari fadewo itats b́bodor geenúshit keewwotsi it daatstsok'o woshde'er taawwere.
Reckon it nothing but joy, my brethren, whenever you find yourselves hedged in by various trials.
3 It imnetiyo b́fadewo k'amo itsh daatsituwo b́wottsok'owo dandek'etute.
Be assured that the testing of your faith leads to power of endurance.
4 K'amonowere it kup'o ik jago itsh b́shaprawo s'eenonat itn bodtswotsi woshituwo wotowe.
Only let endurance have perfect results so that you may become perfect and complete, 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.
And if any one of you is deficient in wisdom, let him ask God for it, who gives with open hand to all men, and without upbraiding; and it will be given 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 and have no doubts; for he who has doubts is like the surge of the sea, driven by the wind and tossed into spray.
7 Mannaari asho doonzoke ik jago b́daatsituwok'o bísh ark'aye.
A person of that sort must not expect to receive anything from the Lord--
8 Han b́wotituwere git níbo detst b́weerindatse hake baka bíetiruwoshe.
such a one is a man of two minds, undecided in every step he takes.
9 B́ beewon dashan wotts eshuwo Ik'o damban bín b́ detsetwosh geneúwowe,
Let a brother in humble life rejoice when raised to a higher position;
10 Ash gaalo bodi fuundok'o b́ ooshetuowotse b́ beewon dambaan wotts eshuwo Ik'o b́bewo dashan b́woshiyalor gene'úwowe,
but a rich man should rejoice in being brought low, for like flowers among the herbage rich men 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.
The sun rises with his scorching heat and dries up the herbage, so that its flowers drop off and the beauty of its appearance perishes, and in the same way rich men with all their prosperity will fade away.
12 Doonzo b́ taartsok'on bín shuntswotssh b́ imet kashi akililiyo b́ dek'etuwosh fadeyo k'amar kúp'it asho deereke.
Blessed is he who patiently endures trials; for when he has stood the test, he will gain the victor's crown--even 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.
Let no one say when passing through trial, "My temptation is from God;" for God is incapable of being tempted to do evil, and He Himself tempts no one.
14 Ernmó asho ik ikon b́ fadeyir b́ took tewnon geetseyar bí ant'elcewore.
But when a man is tempted, it is his own passions that carry him away and serve as a bait.
15 Haniyhakon tewunu bmaac'or morro shuwitwaniye. Morronu s'eenon bi eeniyakon k'iro shuwituwane.
Then the passion conceives, and becomes the parent of sin; and sin, when fully matured, gives birth to death.
16 Shuneets eshuwwotso! it ant'elcherawok'owa!
Do not be deceived, my dearly-loved brethren.
17 Sheengts imonat s'een wotts deer jamo Ik'okne, han b́weetuwe c'ishok'o wona wonewo deshaw shááni niho Ik'okne.
Every gift which is good, and every perfect boon, is from above, and comes down from the Father, who is the source of all Light. In Him there is no variation nor the slightest suggestion of change.
18 Ik'o bí azts jam shintswotsitse gawdek't ari aap'on noon shuure.
In accordance with His will He made us His children through the Message of the truth, so that we might, in a sense, be the Firstfruits of the things which He has created.
19 Shuneets eshuwotso! han batk'ayere, ash jamo k'ebosh káártso, noonkeewonat fayosh mango wotowe.
You know this, my dearly-loved brethren. But let every one be quick to hear, slow to speak, and slow to be angry.
20 Ash fayo Ik'i kááwo daatsiratse.
For a man's anger does not lead to action which God regards as righteous.
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.
Ridding yourselves, therefore, of all that is vile and of the evil influences which prevail around you, welcome in a humble spirit the Message implanted within you, which is able to save your souls.
22 Ik'i aap'tso finats jiitswere bako it tooko dashfetsr shish mec'ro shishfwotsi wotk'ayere.
But prove yourselves obedient to the Message, and do not be mere hearers of it, imposing a delusion upon yourselves.
23 Ik' aap'ts aap'o finats jiitsraw asho bín bíazeets shiitso mastayiton bek'iru ashok'oyiye,
For if any one listens but does not obey, he is like a man who carefully looks at his own face in a mirror.
24 Ashaan b́shiitso mastyiton b́s'iliyakon ametuwe, awuk'o b́wottsok'owo manoor batni b́k'riti.
Although he has looked carefully at himself, he goes away, and has immediately forgotten the sort of man he is.
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 looks closely into the perfect Law--the Law of freedom--and continues looking, he, being not a hearer who forgets, but an obedient doer, will as the result of his obedience be blessed.
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 that he is scrupulously religious, although he is not curbing his tongue but is deceiving himself, his religious service is worthless.
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.
The religious service which is pure and stainless in the sight of our God and Father is to visit fatherless children and widowed women in their time of trouble, and to keep one's own self unspotted from the world.
