Jakobo 1
1 An Jakobo, ma jatich Nyasaye kendo jatich Ruoth Yesu Kristo, Andikonu, un dhoudi apar gariyo mokere e pinje duto: Amosou.
Iames a seruant of God, and of the Lord Iesus Christ, to the twelue Tribes, which are scattered abroade, salutation.
2 Jowetena ka uyudo tembe mayoreyore to kwanreuru ka johawi kendo beduru gi mor mar adier
My brethren, count it exceeding ioy, when ye fall into diuers tentations,
3 nikech ungʼeyo ni tem mitemogo yieu miyo ubedo jokinda.
Knowing that ye trying of your faith bringeth forth patience,
4 To kinda nyaka chop kare chuth eka unyalo doko motegno ma ok uremo gimoro.
And let patience haue her perfect worke, that ye may be perfect and entier, lacking nothing.
5 Ka ngʼato kuomu ochando rieko to okwa Nyasaye, ma jachiwo maber ne ji duto kendo nomiye maonge kiawa.
If any of you lacke wisedome, let him aske of God, which giueth to all men liberally, and reprocheth no man, and it shalbe giuen him.
6 To ka ukwayo to nyaka ubed gi yie ma ok uriwo gi kiawa, nikech ngʼat mariwo gi kiawa chalo gi apaka mar nam ma yamo riembo kendo tago.
But let him aske in faith, and wauer not: for hee that wauereth, is like a waue of the sea, tost of the winde, and caried away.
7 Ngʼat ma kamano kik par ni onyalo kwayo Ruoth gimoro mi oyudi,
Neither let that man thinke that hee shall receiue any thing of the Lord.
8 nikech en ngʼat ma pache nyadiriyo kendo ma timbene duto yomyom.
A double minded man is vnstable in all his waies.
9 To owadwa modhier onego obed mamor ka Nyasaye otingʼe malo.
Let the brother of lowe degree reioyce in that he is exalted:
10 To ngʼat man-gi mwandu bende onego bed mamor ka Nyasaye odwoke piny, nikech ja-mwandu biro lal nono mana ka maua moti e thim.
Againe hee that is rich, in that hee is made lowe: for as the flower of the grasse, shall he vanish away.
11 Nikech ka chiengʼ rieny maliet to owangʼo maua kod thiepene kendo gilwar piny kendo berne rumo. Kamano bende e kaka ja-mwandu biro lal nono, kata mana kotiyo tijene.
For as when the sunne riseth with heate, then the grasse withereth, and his flower falleth away, and the goodly shape of it perisheth: euen so shall the rich man wither away in all his waies.
12 Ngʼat matimo kinda kiteme en ngʼat mogwedhi, nikech kochungʼ motegno mi oloyo temno, to obiro yudo osimbo mar ngima, ma Nyasaye osesingore ni nomi joma ohere.
Blessed is ye man, that endureth tentation: for when he is tried, hee shall receiue the crowne of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that loue him.
13 To ka itemo ngʼato to kik owach niya, “Nyasaye tema.” Nikech Nyasaye ok nyal tem gi gik maricho, to en owuon bende ok otem ji
Let no man say when hee is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God can not bee tempted with euill, neither tempteth he any man.
14 makmana ngʼato ka ngʼato itemo mana ka gombone owuon maricho oywaye kendo tere e richo.
But euery man is tempted, when hee is drawen away by his owne concupiscence, and is entised.
15 Bangʼe ka gombo maricho osemako ich to onywolo richo; to richo kosedoko motegno to onywolo tho.
Then when lust hath conceiued, it bringeth foorth sinne, and sinne when it is finished, bringeth foorth death.
16 Jowetena mageno, kik ngʼato wuondu.
Erre not, my deare brethren.
17 Mich moro amora maber kendo malongʼo aa malo e polo, koa kuom Wuoro manochweyo ler marieny e polo, kendo ma ok lokre ka tipo ma osiko kalokore.
Euery good giuing, and euery perfect gift is from aboue, and commeth downe from the Father of lights, with whome is no variablenes, neither shadow of turning.
18 En ema noyiero owuon mondo onywolwa kokonyore gi wach mar adiera, mondo wabed kaka olemo mokwongo chiek e kind chwechne duto.
Of his owne will begate hee vs with the woorde of trueth, that we shoulde be as the first fruites of his creatures.
19 Jowetena mageno, winjuru wachni malongʼo ni: Ji duto onego bed mapiyo e winjo wach, kik urikni e wuoyo kendo kik ubed joma igi wangʼ piyo,
Wherefore my deare brethren, let euery man be swift to heare, slowe to speake, and slowe to wrath.
20 nikech mirima ok mi wabed joma kare kaka Nyasaye dwaro ni wabedi.
For the wrath of man doeth not accomplish the righteousnesse of God.
21 Kuom mano, lonyuru oko kit kethruok gi richo duto, ma kindegi opongʼo piny kendo bolreuru kurwako wach mopidhi e chunyu, manyalo konyou.
Wherefore lay apart all filthinesse, and superfluitie of maliciousnesse, and receiue with meekenes the word that is graffed in you, which is able to saue your soules.
22 To kik uchik mana itu ni winjo wach kende, nono to uwuondoru kendu uwegi to timuru mana gima Muma puonjo.
And be ye doers of the word, and not hearers onely, deceiuing your owne selues.
23 Ngʼato angʼata mawinjo awinja wach to ok tim gima wach owacho, chalo gi ngʼama ngʼiyo lela wangʼe e rangʼi,
For if any heare the woorde, and doe it not, he is like vnto a man, that beholdeth his naturall face in a glasse.
24 to bangʼ kosengʼiyore maber to owuok odhi adhiya mi wiye wil gi kite gisano.
For when he hath considered himselfe, hee goeth his way, and forgetteth immediately what maner of one he was.
25 To ngʼat manono adimba Chik malongʼo mar Nyasaye mamiyo dhano bedo thuolo, komedo timo kamano kinde ka kinde, ma ok wiye owil gi gima osewinjo, to osiko otimo gima Chik owacho, ibiro gwedhe e gimoro amora motimo.
But who so looketh in the perfect Lawe of libertie, and continueth therein, hee not being a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the woorke, shalbe blessed in his deede.
26 Ka ngʼato angʼata okawore ni en jalemo, to ok orito lewe motegno to owuondore kende, kendo lemone onge tiende.
If any man amog you seeme religious, and refraineth not his tongue, but deceiueth his owne heart, this mans religion is vaine.
27 Kit lemo ma Nyasaye Wuonwa oyiego ni ler kendo onge ketho en mondo wakony nyithi kiye gi mon ma chwogi otho e chandruokgi, kendo mondo ngʼato ka ngʼato oritre kik timbe maricho mag piny ywaye.
Pure religion and vndefiled before God, euen the Father, is this, to visite the fatherlesse, and widdowes in their aduersitie, and to keepe himselfe vnspotted of the world.
