James 1
1 James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, sends words of love to the twelve tribes of the Jews living in all parts of the earth.
Xoossaanne Godaa Yesuus Kiristtoosa aylley, Yayqoobi, biitta ubban laalettida tammanne nam77u sheeshatas kiittida kiita. Saro, ay mela de7eetii?
2 Let it be all joy to you, my brothers, when you undergo tests of every sort;
Ta ishato, hinttena dumma dumma paacey gakkiya wode hintte lo77obaa demmidaada kumetha ufayssan ekkite.
3 Because you have the knowledge that the testing of your faith gives you the power of going on in hope;
Hintte ammanuwa paacetethay dandda7a hinttew immeyssa ereeta.
4 But let this power have its full effect, so that you may be made complete, needing nothing.
Hintte wurssethi gakkanaw dandda7ikko aybi pacey baynna polonne kumethi gideta.
5 But if any man among you is without wisdom, let him make his request to God, who gives freely to all without an unkind word, and it will be given to him.
Hinttefe oodeskka cinccatethi dhayikko Xoossaa woosso. Iyaw imettana. Xoossay oonakka boronna ubbaas keehatethan immiya Xoosse.
6 Let him make his request in faith, doubting nothing; for he who has doubt in his heart is like the waves of the sea, which are troubled by the driving of the wind.
Shin I woossiya wode sidhonna ammanon Xoossaa woosso. Sidhiya oonikka carkkoy sugin qaaxxiya abbaa zule mela.
7 Let it not seem to such a man that he will get anything from the Lord;
Nam77u qofi de7eynne ba ogiyan eqqonna oonikka Godaappe aykkoka demmana gidi qoppofo.
8 For there is a division in his mind, and he is uncertain in all his ways.
9 But let the brother of low position be glad that he is lifted up;
Ammaniya manqo asati, Xoossay enttana dhoqqu oothiya wode ufaytto.
10 But the man of wealth, that he is made low; because like the flower of the grass he will come to his end.
Qassi ammaniyaa dure asati Xoossay enttana ziqqi oothiya wode ufaytto. Dure asati ciishshada dhayana.
11 For when the sun comes up with its burning heat, the grass gets dry and the grace of its form is gone with the falling flower; so the man of wealth comes to nothing in his ways.
Away ba mishaara keyidi maataa melisin, ciishshay serees; iya lo77otethayka dhayees. Hessadakka, dure asati bantta oosuwan daaburishe dhayana.
12 There is a blessing on the man who undergoes testing; because, if he has God's approval, he will be given the crown of life, which the Lord has said he will give to those who have love for him.
Metuwa xoonidi aadhdhidaappe guye, Xoossay bana siiqeyssatas immana gidi qaala gelida de7o kallachcha ekkana gisho, meton gencciya asi anjjettidayssa.
13 Let no man say when he is tested, I am tested by God; for it is not possible for God to be tested by evil, and he himself puts no man to such a test:
Oonikka paacettiya wode, “Tana Xoossay paaces” gooppo. Xoossay iitan paacettenna; qassi I oonakka paaccenna.
14 But every man is tested when he is turned out of the right way by the attraction of his desire.
Shin issi issi asi ba iita amuwaan gooshettiya wodenne cimettiya wode paacettees.
15 Then when its time comes, desire gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is of full growth, gives birth to death.
Hessafe guye, amotethi qanthattidi nagara yelees; qassi nagari diccidi hayqo yelees.
16 Do not be turned from the right way, dear brothers.
Ta siiqo ishato, cimettofite.
17 Every good and true thing is given to us from heaven, coming from the Father of lights, with whom there is no change or any shade made by turning.
Lo77o imoynne kumetha anjjo ubbay saloppenne saluwa poo7uwa medhdhida Xoossaa aawappe yees. Xoossay kuyada ubba wode laamettenna.
18 Of his purpose he gave us being, by his true word, so that we might be, in a sense, the first-fruits of all the things which he had made.
Nuuni, iya medhetethaas koyro gidana mela nuna tuma qaalan ba shenen yelis.
19 You have knowledge of this, dear brothers. But let every man be quick in hearing, slow in words, slow to get angry;
Ta siiqo ishato, hayssa akeekite. Asi ubbay si7anaw elleso, shin odettanawunne hanqettanaw ellesoppo.
20 For the righteousness of God does not come about by the wrath of man.
Asa hanqoy Xoossay koyaa xillotethaa ehenna.
21 For this reason, putting away all dirty behaviour and the overweight of evil, take into your souls without pride the word which, being planted there, is able to give you salvation.
Hessa gisho, tuna hanotanne iitatetha ubbaa diggidi, Xoossay hintte wozanan tokkida hintte shemppuwa ashshanaw dandda7iya qaala aadatethan ekkite.
22 But be doers of the word, and not only hearers of it, blinding yourselves with false ideas.
Shin Xoossaa qaala ooson peeshshiteppe attin sissa xalaalan hinttena cimmofite.
23 Because if any man is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man looking at his natural face in a glass;
Qaalaa si7idi oothonna asi, I ba som77uwa masttoten be7iya asa mela.
24 For after looking at himself he goes away, and in a short time he has no memory of what he was like.
I ba som77uwa be7idi bees, shin I ay daaniyakko ellesi dogees.
25 But he who goes on looking into the true law which makes him free, being not a hearer without memory but a doer putting it into effect, this man will have a blessing on his acts.
Shin oonikka aylletethafe kessiya polo higgiya akeekan be7idi, kaallidi naagey, si7idayssa dogonna ooson peeshshiya uray, ba ooso ubban anjjettana.
26 If a man seems to have religion and has no control over his tongue but lets himself be tricked by what is false, this man's religion is of no value.
Ba inxarssaa naagonna ammanays giya uray bana cimmees; iya ammanoy hada.
27 The religion which is holy and free from evil in the eyes of our God and Father is this: to take care of children who have no fathers and of widows who are in trouble, and to keep oneself untouched by the world.
Xoossaa Aawa sinthan borey baynna geeshsha ammanoy hayssa: aaya aawu baynna naytanne am77eta maadonne alamiya tunaappe bana naago.
