James 2
1 My brothers, as you hold out your faith in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ, do not show favoritism.
Na fi dunu! Dilia da Hina Gode Yesu Gelesu, hadigi Hinadafa, amo Ea hou lalegaguiba: le, dilia dunu eno ilia dabua ba: su dawa: beba: le, ilima hisu hisu agoane hamomu da dilima hamedei.
2 Suppose a man comes into your meeting wearing a gold ring and fine clothes, and a poor man in shabby clothes also comes in.
Agoane dawa: ma! Dilia gilisisu amoga bagade gagui dunu gouli lobo sogoga salasu, abula ida: iwane ga: i amola hame gagui dunu abula wadela: i ga: i, ela gilisili masea,
3 If you lavish attention on the man in fine clothes and say, “Here is a seat of honor,” but say to the poor man, “You must stand” or “Sit at my feet,”
4 have you not discriminated among yourselves and become judges with evil thoughts?
dilia bagade gagui dunu ema amane sia: sea, “Fisu ida: iwane guiguda: fima!” be hame gagui dunuma amane sia: sea, “Di ga leloma o na emo gadenene fima!” dilia amane sia: sea, dilia dunu hisu hisu agoane ba: sa amola dilia asigi dawa: su ganodini wadela: le fofada: beba: le, dunu da hisu hisu ba: sa amo olelesa.
5 Listen, my beloved brothers: Has not God chosen the poor of this world to be rich in faith and to inherit the kingdom He promised those who love Him?
Na dogolegei fi dunu! Nabima! Gode da hame gagui dunu ilia baligiliwane dafawaneyale dawa: su hou amola Ea Hinadafa Hou E da Ema asigi dunuma imunusa: ilegele sia: i liligi, amo ilia gaguma: ne, Gode da ilima ilegei.
6 But you have dishonored the poor. Is it not the rich who oppress you and drag you into court?
Be dilia da hame gagui dunuma gadesa. Be nowa dunu ilia da dilia hou wadela: sa, amola dilia hou wadela: musa: dili fofada: su dunuma fofada: musa: hiouginanala: ? Bagade gagui dunu ili fawane!
7 Are they not the ones who blaspheme the noble name by which you have been called?
Bagade gagui dunu ilia da dio ida: iwane gala Gode da dilima asuli dagoi, amo wadela: musa: lasogole sia: sa.
8 If you really fulfill the royal law stated in Scripture, “Love your neighbor as yourself,” you are doing well.
Gode Ea Hinadafa Hou sema da Gode Sia: amo ganodini agoane dedei diala, “Disu da: i hodo amoma asigi hou defele, eno dunuma asigima!” Amo nabawane hamosea, dilia da hou ida: iwane hamosu dunu agoane ba: mu.
9 But if you show favoritism, you sin and are convicted by the law as transgressors.
Be dilia da dunu ilia dabua ba: su hou amo dawa: beba: le, ilima hisu hisu agoane hamosea, dilia da wadela: i hamosa. Dilia da agoane hamosea, Gode Ea sema da dilima diliwaneya udidisa.
10 Whoever keeps the whole law but stumbles at just one point is guilty of breaking all of it.
Nowa dunu da Gode Ea sema afadafa fawane wadela: sea, e da sema huluanedafa wadela: lesi dagoi.
11 For He who said, “Do not commit adultery,” also said, “Do not murder.” If you do not commit adultery, but do commit murder, you have become a lawbreaker.
Gode da amane hamoma: ne sia: i, “Inia uda mae adole lama!” E da eno amane sia: i, “Dunu eno bogoma: ne mae medoma!” Amaiba: le, di da inia uda mae adole lale, dunu eno fane legesea, di da sema wadela: su dunu.
12 Speak and act as those who are going to be judged by the law that gives freedom.
Gode da hobea, sema da ninima hahawane halegale lalusu iabe amo dawa: le, ninima fofada: mu. Amo dawa: beba: le, dilia sia: noga: iwane amola hou ida: iwane hamoma.
13 For judgment without mercy will be shown to anyone who has not been merciful. Mercy triumphs over judgment.
Bai Gode da dunu amo da eno dunu ea hou hame gogolema: ne olofosa, ema gogolema: ne olofosu hame imunu. Be asigiwane gogolema: ne olofosu hou da se imunusa: fofada: su hou baligisa.
14 What good is it, my brothers, if someone claims to have faith, but has no deeds? Can such faith save him?
Na fi dunu! Dunu afae da ea lafidili fawane, “Na da Gode dawa:” sia: sea, be hou ida: iwane hame hamosea, amo hou da dunu ea hou hame fidisa. Agoane dafawaneyale dawa: su hou da amo dunu gaga: ma: bela: ? Hame mabu!
15 Suppose a brother or sister is without clothes and daily food.
Dilia fi amo ganodini, dilia fi dunu o uda da abula hame amola ha: i manu hame, agoaiwane esalebe ba: sea,
16 If one of you tells him, “Go in peace; stay warm and well fed,” but does not provide for his physical needs, what good is that?
be dilia lafidili fawane ilima, “Na da di Gode fidima: ne sia: ne gadosa. Lalu houma amola ha: i manu hahawane moma!” amo fawane sia: sea, be ea da: i hodo hame fidisia, amo da hou noga: idafa? Hame mabu!
17 So too, faith by itself, if it does not result in action, is dead.
Dafawaneyale dawa: su hou da amaiwane diala. Di da dia asigi dawa: su ganodini fawane dafawaneyale dawa: su hou lalegagui, be dunu eno ilima fidima: ne hame hawa: hamosea, dia dafawaneyale dawa: su hou da bogosu liligi agoai galebe.
18 But someone will say, “You have faith and I have deeds.” Show me your faith without deeds, and I will show you my faith by my deeds.
Be dunu afadafa da amane sia: mu, “Dunu afae da dafawaneyale dawa: su hou lalegagui. Dunu eno da fidisu hawa: hamosa,” amane sia: mu. Na da bu adole imunu, amane, “Fidisu hou mae hamone, dafawaneyale dawa: su hou da hamedei liligi agoane. Dunu da fidisu hawa: hamosea fawane, e da dafawaneyale dawa: su hou lalegagui dagoi olelesa.”
19 You believe that God is one. Good for you! Even the demons believe that—and shudder.
Gode afadafa esala, amo dilia dafawaneyale dawa: bela: ? Defea! Be Fio a: silibu huluane, ilia amo defele dafawaneyale dawa: beba: le, beda: iba: le yagugusa.
20 O foolish man, do you want evidence that faith without deeds is worthless?
Gagaoui di! Udigili mae hawa: hamone, dafawaneyale dawa: su hou lafidili sia: sa, amo da hamedei liligi.
21 Was not our father Abraham justified by what he did when he offered his son Isaac on the altar?
Gode da ninia aowalali ada A: ibalaha: me habodane afadenene bu moloidafa hamoi ba: bela: ? A: ibalaha: me da Aisage oloda da: iya ligisi, amo hawa: hamobeba: le, Gode da A: ibalaha: me afadenene bu moloidafa hamoi dagoi ba: i.
22 You see that his faith was working with his actions, and his faith was perfected by what he did.
Dilia hame ba: sala: ? A: ibalaha: me ea dafawaneyale dawa: su hou amola ea hawa: hamosu, da gilisili ea houdafa olelesu. Ea hawa: hamobeba: le, ea dafawaneyale dawa: le lalegagusu hou da dafawane olelei.
23 And the Scripture was fulfilled that says, “Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness,” and he was called a friend of God.
Amaiba: le, Gode Sia: Dedei da dafawane ba: i, amane, “A: ibalaha: me da Gode dafawaneyale dawa: beba: le, Gode da A: ibalaha: me afadenene bu moloidafa hamoi dagoi ba: i.” Amanoba, Gode da A: ibalaha: mema “Na na: iyado” dio asuli.
24 As you can see, a man is justified by his deeds and not by faith alone.
Amaiba: le, noga: le dawa: ma! Dunu da gilisili hawa: hamobeba: le amola dafawaneyale dawa: beba: le, Gode da amo dunu moloidafa hamoi ba: sa.
25 In the same way, was not even Rahab the prostitute justified by her actions when she welcomed the spies and sent them off on another route?
Musa: wadela: i uda ea dio amo La: ihabe, ea hou agoaiwane ba: su. E da Isala: ili desega misi dunu ilima aowalalu, ilima hobeale masunu logo olelei. Amo hawa: hamobeba: le, Gode da La: iha: be moloidafa hamoi dagoi ba: i.
26 As the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without deeds is dead.
Dunu da: i hodo da a: silibu hame galea, amo da bogoi. Amo defele, dafawaneyale dawa: su hou da hawa: hamosu hame galea, amo amolawane da bogoi agoai ba: sa.
