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.
yakubu gran rji na baci yesu kristi he ni gji wlon don ha bi wa ba shankado mi ci yi
2 Let it be all joy to you, my brothers, when you undergo tests of every sort;
ban ba wawuu ni ngyri mrlivyayi mu niton wa bi ku niyaa
3 Because you have the knowledge that the testing of your faith gives you the power of going on in hope;
to ridi ahitsa yosron mbi ni ngji vurson
4 But let this power have its full effect, so that you may be made complete, needing nothing.
ndu vurontien ndu ma ndi ndu yi sen ngbendble ndi na wakpe haman
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.
iri mi nita ni wato ka bre rji wa ani nno ni yalwace ana whicn ni bi wa ba bre wua na ani nno ba
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.
ama ndu mye ni yosron ana ni sron ha naidji waa a nitie sron ha ahe na lukurmi u teku wa nghunghu ni fu kadidan
7 Let it not seem to such a man that he will get anything from the Lord;
ndu idji kima na ya ridi wawuu ni fe kpe ni rji na
8 For there is a division in his mind, and he is uncertain in all his ways.
ahi idji u sion ha ana tie kpe tsratra me na
9 But let the brother of low position be glad that he is lifted up;
ndu vayi u ya wruwo nisan nitu ndu ma ribranma
10 But the man of wealth, that he is made low; because like the flower of the grass he will come to his end.
idji u wo (arziki) wa a heni ndu tsitsama ani kle na fure ngega u miji
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.
don irj ni hwu waka klu ngongon me na giga
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.
lulu he nitu idjji wa ani vusron ni tsara don anita vusrom ni tsra ani fe rawani u vrliwa ba yo nyi ni biwa ba son rija
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:
ndu njiori na tre ndi ba tra wawuu ndi a rji mba tra wawuu na ba na tra rji ni meme na wawuu ni tuma ana tra njori na
14 But every man is tested when he is turned out of the right way by the attraction of his desire.
u dji ni fe tsra ma nitu tie meme ma kima wa ani gyru nda kawu kaskan
15 Then when its time comes, desire gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is of full growth, gives birth to death.
wa kptre meme ma whrji nee aningyji latre latre nita babran ani ngyi kuwu
16 Do not be turned from the right way, dear brothers.
mrli vayi na ndu njio gyruyiria
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.
inno ndindima wawuu rhji ni rji a gji rji ni tie ukpan ana kasran na ahena whie (inuwa)
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.
a cu ndu wawuugyji ta nitu tre njanji ni ndu ta kati whie ma mumlan
19 You have knowledge of this, dear brothers. But let every man be quick in hearing, slow in words, slow to get angry;
bito wayi mrlivayi wa mikpayi ymea ndu ko nha srenton gbagbla nda na tre gbagblana nda na tie nfu gbagbla na
20 For the righteousness of God does not come about by the wrath of man.
don infu ndji na kpe ndindi u rji yena
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.
na kima ka ndu bi meme mataga ndi kpatre wa rji yo nisron ndjia wa ani kpata cuwoa
22 But be doers of the word, and not only hearers of it, blinding yourselves with false ideas.
tre ndu ni tre rji na wowuu megena na bi gyru ton mbi
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;
indji nita ni wotre nda na tie ndu na ahe na indji wa aya shishi ma ni madubi
24 For after looking at himself he goes away, and in a short time he has no memory of what he was like.
aya shishi ma nda hii kpama gbagbla me nda kpa rlisu ka shishi ma he ni he
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.
u indrji wa a ya du ndi ndi ma cen me wa a kpata cuwoa nda hu ba ndindi me nda he na indji wa ruwo nda kpa rli sua na indji kima ni tie lulu ni kpe wa anibie
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.
indji wa ta mren ndi wawu hi ndji u adini nda na vunyu mana ani gyru tuma mu adini ma hi u megen (banza)
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.
adini wa a tsra tsra mea nda na meme ni shishi baci tie ndu zo bi wa bana he ni tie na ni biwa bana he ni lilon na ni mi yamba nda ndu ndji son hama ni latre ni ngbungblu
