James 1
1 James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, To the twelve tribes of the Dispersion: Greetings.
Sodꞌa-moleꞌ mia au, Yakobis. Au ia, Lamatualain no hita malanggan Yesus Kristus, atahori dedenun. Au suraꞌ susura ia fee hei atahori Yahudi, mana tungga Lamatuaꞌ Yesus, mana leo-lao sia bee-bꞌee.
2 Consider it pure joy, my brothers, when you encounter trials of many kinds,
Toronoo nggare! Au ae ufadꞌe taꞌo ia: mete ma ama hambu sususaꞌ mataꞌ-mataꞌ, na, afiꞌ masaloe. Simbo no rala nemehoꞌot, te dei fo bꞌuna bꞌoan maloleꞌ.
3 because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance.
Te ata bubꞌuluꞌ tae, mete ma see naꞌatataaꞌ sia sususaꞌ, losa nasenggiꞌ sosobꞌa-dꞌodꞌouꞌ a, ma feꞌe mimihere mikindoo neu Lamatuaꞌ, naa tao nggi bꞌau matu-matu mete ma hambu sosobꞌaꞌ laen.
4 Allow perseverance to finish its work, so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.
Dadꞌi ama afiꞌ mimitau sususaꞌ. Te ama minori miꞌitataaꞌ sia sususaꞌ losa ama dadꞌi matetuꞌ. No taꞌona, nemehere mara boe naꞌoka nahereꞌ sia Lamatuaꞌ, de nda toꞌa taa esa saa boe.
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.
Mete ma hei ruma mimedꞌa nda hambu dalaꞌ fo miꞌitataaꞌ mia sususaꞌ sa, hei mitane mbali Lamatuaꞌ mana nahine basaꞌ e. Eni mana natudꞌu dalaꞌ fee nggi. Eni mana fee nggi dudꞌuꞌa maloleꞌ no rala nemehoꞌot, ma nda namanasa nggi sa, mete ma hei moꞌe mbali E.
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.
Mete ma moꞌe mia E, afi moꞌe no rala seseriꞌ. Hei musi mimihere tebꞌe-tebꞌeꞌ mae Ana bisa fee saa fo hei moꞌeꞌ a. Te atahori mana roꞌe no rala seseriꞌ, ana onaꞌ ree fo anin fuu e rae-ata nda natetu-nandaa sa.
7 That man should not expect to receive anything from the Lord.
Atahori se ralan nabꞌabꞌanggi no mudaꞌ onaꞌ naa, ana nda matetuꞌ sia basa dalaꞌ ra sa. Afiꞌ mimihena mae ana hambu saa-saa mia Lamatuaꞌ e boe.
8 He is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.
9 The brother in humble circumstances should exult in his high position.
Atahori mana tudꞌa-loloeꞌ mana namahere neu Lamatuaꞌ Yesus, musi ramahoꞌo, huu Lamatualain soꞌu nala se dadꞌi bobꞌonggin ena.
10 But the one who is rich should exult in his low position, because he will pass away like a flower of the field.
Ma atahori mamasuꞌiꞌ mana ramahere neu Lamatuaꞌ Yesus ena, ara o musi tao ralan nara ramahoꞌo, huu Lamatuaꞌ nanori se afiꞌ koao. Ia naa rahine rae, dei fo suꞌi nara mana sambulaloꞌ, onaꞌ bunaꞌ sia lasi a nabꞌuna meulau, te nda doo sa ma relo a haa e, de ana male. Atahori mamasuꞌiꞌ ra o onaꞌ naa boe. Mae sira rasambute ro tatao-nonoꞌi nara, te sira o mana sambulaloꞌ boe.
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.
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.
Lamatuaꞌ fee papala-babꞌanggiꞌ neu atahori mana naꞌatataaꞌ mia sosobꞌaꞌ a losa nasenggiꞌ. Ma ana simbo nala hahambu masoi-masodꞌaꞌ fo Lamatuaꞌ helu basa fee neu atahori mana sue E. Ana simbo hahambun onaꞌ atahori mana nasenggiꞌ a hambu beker.
13 When tempted, no one should say, “God is tempting me.” For God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does He tempt anyone.
Misinedꞌa malolole! Mete ma hei ruma hambu sosobꞌaꞌ ma mae tao salaꞌ, afiꞌ rundu mae, “Lamatuaꞌ nae sobꞌa au” Te Lamatualain nda hii-nau tao salaꞌ sa. Ana o nda sobꞌa atahori fo atahori naa hii tao salaꞌ sa.
14 But each one is tempted when by his own evil desires he is lured away and enticed.
Te salaꞌ nema mia atahori ralan. Fefeun, ralan nau tao deꞌulakaꞌ, de basa ma ana sangga dalaꞌ nae tao deꞌulakaꞌ.
15 Then after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death.
Boe ma ana tao, tungga dudꞌuꞌa deꞌulakan nakandondooꞌ a. Mateteꞌen, Lamatualain naꞌondaꞌ huku-dꞌoki mamates neu atahori mana tao deꞌulakaꞌ.
16 Do not be deceived, my beloved brothers.
Toronoo susueꞌ re! Afiꞌ neneꞌediꞌ soꞌal dalaꞌ ia ra.
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.
Dꞌala deꞌulakaꞌ ra nda mia Lamatuaꞌ sa. Te ana mana fee basa papala-babꞌanggi maloleꞌ ma basa dꞌala meumareꞌ. Eni mana naꞌadꞌadꞌadꞌiꞌ relo, fulan, ma nduuꞌ ra. Basa se lali-laliꞌ sia lalai, naa de salao nara ubꞌa-ubꞌa rakandooꞌ a. Akaꞌ a Lamatualain nda mana ubꞌaꞌ sa.
18 He chose to give us birth through the word of truth, that we would be a kind of firstfruits of His creation.
Lamatuaꞌ hihii-nanaun fee hita taꞌo ia: Ana fee dedꞌea-oꞌola matetun nema hita. Ma Ana pake dedꞌea-oꞌolan naa, fo fee hita masodꞌaꞌ. Ana pili nala hita dadꞌi mbule-uluꞌ mia basa saa, fo Ana naꞌadadꞌiꞌ sia raefafoꞌ ia.
19 My beloved brothers, understand this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to anger,
Toronoo susue nggare! Misinedꞌa, e! Malolen taꞌo ia: afiꞌ sadꞌiꞌ a olaꞌ a. Malole lenaꞌ, mete ma atahori olaꞌ maloleꞌ, na, nenene malolole dei! Ma afi haelai miminasa.
20 for man’s anger does not bring about the righteousness that God desires.
Te mete ma miminasa, na, ama nda bisa tao dꞌala maloleꞌ tungga Lamatualain hihiin sa.
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.
Dadꞌi ama musi nggari hendi basa sala-kilu mara. Onaꞌ atahori raue-rameu tine-osi nara, ma dedꞌe hendi manggarauꞌ ra. Hei o musi simbo Lamatuaꞌ hara-liin no rala neloe-nedꞌaeꞌ. Hara-liiꞌ naa ra onaꞌ fini neneselaꞌ sia rala mara. Mete ma ama tao taꞌo naa, dei fo Lamatuaꞌ mboꞌi hendi nggi mia basa sala-kilu mara, ma simbo nggi fo misodꞌa mikindoo mo E.
22 Be doers of the word, and not hearers only. Otherwise, you are deceiving yourselves.
Mete ma ama mihine Lamatuaꞌ hara-liin, na, tao tungga e. Afiꞌ renaꞌ a! Mete ma hei renaꞌ a, te nda tao tungga sa, hei eꞌedik baliꞌ ao mara.
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,
Mete ma atahori rena basa hara-liiꞌ naa ra, te nda tao tungga sa, naa onaꞌ atahori sa mete matan sia tiro-ao a. Ana heoꞌ dean, ma liliꞌ hendi mata-aon neuꞌ ena.
24 and after observing himself goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like.
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.
Te Ama afiꞌ taꞌo naa. Ama musi paresaꞌ malole Lamatualain hara-lii matetun, mana bisa tao atahori nenemboꞌit mia sala-kilu nara. Dei fo Lamatuaꞌ fee papala-babꞌanggiꞌ sia basa saa fo hei taoꞌ ra, sadꞌi rena ma tao tungga hara-liiꞌ naa ra. Afiꞌ rena mendiꞌ ndiki diim ma kalua tungga ndiki onam!
26 If anyone considers himself religious and yet does not bridle his tongue, he deceives his heart and his religion is worthless.
Mete ma atahori sa nae eni atahori maloleꞌ, te nda nanea nala bafan sa, eni eꞌedik baliꞌ aon! Eni nemeheren parsumaꞌ a.
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.
Huu atahori mana namahere tebꞌe-tebꞌeꞌ neu Amaꞌ Lamatuaꞌ, ralan musi matetuꞌ losa nda hambu manggenggeoꞌ saa sa boe. Naa, tao Ama Lamatualain ralan namahoꞌo. Nemehere matetuꞌ onaꞌ naa, tao atahori hii tulufali ina falu ro ana mat ra. Atahori mana naꞌena nemehereꞌ mataꞌ naa, nda hela atahori raefafoꞌ ia kokoe-nanasi se no tatao deꞌulakaꞌ sa.
