James 1
1 James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, To the twelve tribes of the Dispersion: Greetings.
Mini Jaka, U Tienu leni o Diedo Jesu Kilisiti naacemo, n diani yinba i piiga n buoliedi yi n yayadi ki ye ŋanduna nni kuli po. N fuondi yi.
2 Consider it pure joy, my brothers, when you encounter trials of many kinds,
N kpiiba, yin ya nua mani ke ya biigima buoli kuli n cua yi kani tie pamanli bonla.
3 because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance.
Ki ya bani ke yi dandanli biigima baa cuani li juunli.
4 Allow perseverance to finish its work, so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.
Ama li tie tiladi ke li juunli n ya tuuni li tuonli ki dudi cain, ke yin tua yaaba n ŋani ki dagidi cain ki da luo liba kuli.
5 Now if any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him.
Yi siiga niloba ya luo mi yanfuoma, wan mia U Tienu yua n puuni bi niba kuli leni ti bulicindi kaa fu leni ba, o baa pa o ma.
6 But he must ask in faith, without doubting, because he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind.
Ama wan mia leni li dandanli, ki da bangi o ya baa baa bi o ya kan baa. Kelima yua n maliti ke daalinba o kan baa tie nani mi ñincianma ñinguona, u faalu n lengidi ki pengi ya yeni.
7 That man should not expect to receive anything from the Lord.
Ya nilo n tie yeni kuli n da tama ke o baa baa liba kuli o Diedo kani.
8 He is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.
Kelima o tie yama lie daano, waa se kaanyendu o bontienkaala kuli nni.
9 The brother in humble circumstances should exult in his high position.
Ti kpiiba siiga yua n tie luodo n ya mangidi o pali boncianla leni U Tienu n jigini o maama.
10 But the one who is rich should exult in his low position, because he will pass away like a flower of the field.
Yua n tie piado mo n ya mangidi o pali leni U Tienu n jiini o maama, kelima o baa pendi nani ti muadi puuma yeni.
11 For the sun rises with scorching heat and withers the plant; its flower falls and its beauty is lost. So too, the rich man will fade away in the midst of his pursuits.
Ki yenga pudi ke ki wulitonma tendi ke ti kuodi ke ti puuma mo suodi, tin pia ya jawaama mo bodi. O piado moko baa mali ki suodi yene o ŋantaadi siiga.
12 Blessed is the man who perseveres under trial, because when he has stood the test, he will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love Him.
Li pamanli ye leni yua n fidi ki juuni mi biigima nni. Kelima bi ya biigi o ki pagi o ya yogunu, o baa baa li miali badifogiliga, o Diedo n niani ke o baa pa yaaba n bua o kuli yaaga.
13 When tempted, no one should say, “God is tempting me.” For God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does He tempt anyone.
Ban tulini o nilo ya yogunu, wan da yedi: “U Tienu n tulini nni”. Kelima bi kan tulini U Tienu wan tieni yaala n bia wani oba mo kan tulini niloba kuli.
14 But each one is tempted when by his own evil desires he is lured away and enticed.
Bi tulini nilo kuli wani oba bonbuaka-biadila ya dia ki cuo ya yogunu.
15 Then after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death.
Lanwani, o bonbuaka-biadila ya punbi, li baa ma ti tuonbiadi, ti tuonbiadi mo ya kpedi ki dagidi tini mo baa ma mi kuuma.
16 Do not be deceived, my beloved brothers.
N kpibuadiba, yin da boandi mani yi yula ya maama n tie na po:
17 Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, with whom there is no change or shifting shadow.
Li semoanli leni ya paabu n ŋani kuli ñani tanpoli po, mi yenma Baa kani, wani yua n ki lebidi, ke lebidima jinjingu mo ki ye o niinni.
18 He chose to give us birth through the word of truth, that we would be a kind of firstfruits of His creation.
O yanbuama po, o den mali ti kelima i moamoani maama po ke tin ya tie o tagima kuli siiga li bonkpiala.
19 My beloved brothers, understand this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to anger,
N kpibuadiba, yin bandi line: Li pundi nilo kuli n cengi tontoni ki da maadi tontoni mo, ki da bieni o pali tontoni mo.
20 for man’s anger does not bring about the righteousness that God desires.
Kelima o nisaalo pabienli kan cuani U Tienu teginma.
21 Therefore, get rid of all moral filth and every expression of evil, and humbly accept the word planted in you, which can save your souls.
Lanyaapo yin lu mani yaala n tie ti joagindi leni mi biadima kuli, ki ya gaani U Tienu n buli ya maama yi pala nni leni li yumiinli, kelima mi baa fidi ki tindi yi naani.
22 Be doers of the word, and not hearers only. Otherwise, you are deceiving yourselves.
Yin da cengi U Tienu maama bebe, ki boandi yi yula ke mi cengima yeni dagidi, kali yin ya tiendi man yedi yaala mo.
23 For anyone who hears the word but does not carry it out is like a man who looks at his face in a mirror,
Kelima yua n cengi U Tienu maama ki naa tieni man yedi yaala tie nani yua n nua o nunga n tie maama ki madiibiga nni,
24 and after observing himself goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like.
ki ñani ki gedi ki sundi tontoni wan tie maama.
25 But the one who looks intently into the perfect law of freedom, and continues to do so—not being a forgetful hearer, but an effective doer—he will be blessed in what he does.
Ama yua n nuali boŋanla ya balimaama n ŋani cain ki faabidi bi niba ya niinni ki suagi ki tiendi yeni kaa sundi wan cengi yaala, laa nilo baa pia li pamanli o tuonli nni.
26 If anyone considers himself religious and yet does not bridle his tongue, he deceives his heart and his religion is worthless.
O nilo ya tama ke o jaani ki naa kubi o lanbu, o boandi o yuli. Laa nilo ya jaanma tie fanma fanma.
27 Pure and undefiled religion before our God and Father is this: to care for orphans and widows in their distress, and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.
Ya jaanma n ŋani cain ki naa pia joagidi U Tienu nintuali tie, ki yaa todi a kpienbila leni a kpepuona bi fala nni, ki go kubi o yuli leni ŋanduna joagindi.
