James 2
1 My brothers, as you hold out your faith in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ, do not show favoritism.
Ya ku 'yan'uwana, muddin kuna rike da bangaskiyar ku ga Ubangijinmu Yesu Almasihu, Ubangijin daukaka, kada ku nuna bambanci ga wadansu mutane.
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.
Idan wani mutum ya halarci taron ku da zobban zinariya da tufafi masu kyau, wani matalauci kuma ya shigo da tufafi marasa tsabta.
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,”
Sa'adda kuka kula da mai tufafi masu kyau nan, har kuka ce masa, “Idan ka yarda ka zauna a nan wuri mai kyau,'' mataulacin nan kuwa kuka ce masa, “Kai ka tsaya daga can,” ko kuwa, “Zauna a nan kasa a gaba na,”
4 have you not discriminated among yourselves and become judges with evil thoughts?
Ashe ba kuna zartar da hukunci a tsakanin ku ba ke nan? Ba kun zama alkalai na mungayen tunani kenan ba?
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?
Ku saurara, ya 'yan'uwana kaunatattu, ashe, Allah bai zabi matalautan duniyar nan su zama mawadata cikin bangaskiya ba, su kuma zama magada a cikin mulkin nan da ya yi wa masu kaunar sa alkawari ba?
6 But you have dishonored the poor. Is it not the rich who oppress you and drag you into court?
Amma, kun wulakanta matalauta! Ashe, ba masu arzikin ne suke matsa maku ba? Ba su ne kuwa suke jan ku zuwa gaban shari'a ba?
7 Are they not the ones who blaspheme the noble name by which you have been called?
Ba kuma sune ke sabon sunan nan mai girma da ake kiran ku da shi ba?
8 If you really fulfill the royal law stated in Scripture, “Love your neighbor as yourself,” you are doing well.
Duk da haka, idan kuka cika muhimmiyar shari'ar da nassi ya ce, “Ka kaunaci makwabcin ka kamar kanka,” to, madalla.
9 But if you show favoritism, you sin and are convicted by the law as transgressors.
Amma in kun nuna bambanci, kun yi zunubi kenan, shari'a ta same ku da laifin keta umarni.
10 Whoever keeps the whole law but stumbles at just one point is guilty of breaking all of it.
Duk wanda yake kiyaye dukan shari'a, amma ya yi tuntube a hanya daya kadai, ya sabi shari'a gaba daya ke nan.
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.
Domin wanda ya ce, “Kada ka yi zina,” shi ne kuma ya ce, “Kada ka yi kisan kai.” Idan ba ka yi zina ba amma ka yi kisan kai, ai, ka zama mai taka shari'a kenan.
12 Speak and act as those who are going to be judged by the law that gives freedom.
Saboda haka, ku yi magana ku kuma yi aiki kamar wadanda za a hukunta ta wurin 'yantacciyar shari'a.
13 For judgment without mercy will be shown to anyone who has not been merciful. Mercy triumphs over judgment.
Gama hukunci yana zuwa ba tare da jinkai ba ga wadanda ba su nuna jinkai. Jinkai ya yi nasara a kan hukunci.
14 What good is it, my brothers, if someone claims to have faith, but has no deeds? Can such faith save him?
Ina amfanin haka, 'yan'uwana, idan wani ya ce yana da bangaskiya, kuma ba shi da ayyuka? Wannan bangaskiyar ba za ta cece shi ba, ko za ta iya?
15 Suppose a brother or sister is without clothes and daily food.
Misali, idan wani dan'uwa ko 'yar'uwa ba su da tufa mai kyau ko suna rashin abincin yini.
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?
Misali, idan waninku kuma ya ce masu, “Ku tafi cikin salama, ku kasance da dumi ku koshi.” Idan baku ba su abubuwan da jiki ke bukata ba, ina amfanin wannnan?
17 So too, faith by itself, if it does not result in action, is dead.
Haka ma, bangaskiya ita kadai, ba tare da aikin da ya nuna ta ba, matacciya ce.
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.
To, wani zai ce, “Ai, kai kana da bangaskiya, ni kuwa ina da ayyuka.” Nuna mani bangaskiyar ka ba tare da ayyuka ba, ni kuma in nuna maka bangaskiya ta ta wurin ayyuka na.
19 You believe that God is one. Good for you! Even the demons believe that—and shudder.
Ka gaskanta cewa Allah daya ne; ka yi daidai. Amma ko aljannu ma sun gaskata, kuma suna rawar jiki.
20 O foolish man, do you want evidence that faith without deeds is worthless?
Kana so ka sani, kai marar azanci, cewa bangaskiya ba tare da ayyuka ba banza ce?
21 Was not our father Abraham justified by what he did when he offered his son Isaac on the altar?
Ba an baratar da Ibrahim mahaifinmu ta wurin ayyuka ba, sa'adda ya mika Ishaku dansa a bisa bagadi?
22 You see that his faith was working with his actions, and his faith was perfected by what he did.
Ka gani, ashe, bangaskiyar sa ta yi aiki da ayyukan sa, kuma da cewa ta wurin ayyuka bangaskiyar sa ta ginu sosai.
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.
Nassi kuma ya cika da ya ce, “Ibrahim ya gaskata Allah, aka kuma lisafta masa ita a matsayin adalci.” Aka kuma kira shi abokin Allah.
24 As you can see, a man is justified by his deeds and not by faith alone.
Kun ga, ta wurin ayyuka ne mutum yake samu baratarwa ba ta wurin bangaskiya kadai ba.
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?
Ta wannan hanyar kuma, ba Rahab karuwar nan ta samu baratarwa ta wurin ayyuka, da ta marabci masu leken asirin nan ta fitar da su ta wata hanya dabam ba?
26 As the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without deeds is dead.
Kamar yadda jiki idan ba tare da ruhu ba matacce ne, haka kuma, bangaskiya ba tare da ayyuka ba matacciya ce.
