James 1
1 James, bondman of God and of [the] Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which [are] in the dispersion, greeting.
An Jakobo, ma jatich Nyasaye kendo jatich Ruoth Yesu Kristo, Andikonu, un dhoudi apar gariyo mokere e pinje duto: Amosou.
2 Count it all joy, my brethren, when ye fall into various temptations,
Jowetena ka uyudo tembe mayoreyore to kwanreuru ka johawi kendo beduru gi mor mar adier
3 knowing that the proving of your faith works endurance.
nikech ungʼeyo ni tem mitemogo yieu miyo ubedo jokinda.
4 But let endurance have [its] perfect work, that ye may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.
To kinda nyaka chop kare chuth eka unyalo doko motegno ma ok uremo gimoro.
5 But if any one of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all freely and reproaches not, and it shall be given to him:
Ka ngʼato kuomu ochando rieko to okwa Nyasaye, ma jachiwo maber ne ji duto kendo nomiye maonge kiawa.
6 but let him ask in faith, nothing doubting. For he that doubts is like a wave of the sea driven by the wind and tossed about;
To ka ukwayo to nyaka ubed gi yie ma ok uriwo gi kiawa, nikech ngʼat mariwo gi kiawa chalo gi apaka mar nam ma yamo riembo kendo tago.
7 for let not that man think that he shall receive anything from the Lord;
Ngʼat ma kamano kik par ni onyalo kwayo Ruoth gimoro mi oyudi,
8 [he is] a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.
nikech en ngʼat ma pache nyadiriyo kendo ma timbene duto yomyom.
9 But let the brother of low degree glory in his elevation,
To owadwa modhier onego obed mamor ka Nyasaye otingʼe malo.
10 and the rich in his humiliation, because as [the] grass's flower he will pass away.
To ngʼat man-gi mwandu bende onego bed mamor ka Nyasaye odwoke piny, nikech ja-mwandu biro lal nono mana ka maua moti e thim.
11 For the sun has risen with its burning heat, and has withered the grass, and its flower has fallen, and the comeliness of its look has perished: thus the rich also shall wither in his goings.
Nikech ka chiengʼ rieny maliet to owangʼo maua kod thiepene kendo gilwar piny kendo berne rumo. Kamano bende e kaka ja-mwandu biro lal nono, kata mana kotiyo tijene.
12 Blessed [is the] man who endures temptation; for, having been proved, he shall receive the crown of life, which He has promised to them that love him.
Ngʼat matimo kinda kiteme en ngʼat mogwedhi, nikech kochungʼ motegno mi oloyo temno, to obiro yudo osimbo mar ngima, ma Nyasaye osesingore ni nomi joma ohere.
13 Let no man, being tempted, say, I am tempted of God. For God cannot be tempted by evil things, and himself tempts no one.
To ka itemo ngʼato to kik owach niya, “Nyasaye tema.” Nikech Nyasaye ok nyal tem gi gik maricho, to en owuon bende ok otem ji
14 But every one is tempted, drawn away, and enticed by his own lust;
makmana ngʼato ka ngʼato itemo mana ka gombone owuon maricho oywaye kendo tere e richo.
15 then lust, having conceived, gives birth to sin; but sin fully completed brings forth death.
Bangʼe ka gombo maricho osemako ich to onywolo richo; to richo kosedoko motegno to onywolo tho.
16 Do not err, my beloved brethren.
Jowetena mageno, kik ngʼato wuondu.
17 Every good gift and every perfect gift comes down from above, from the Father of lights, with whom is no variation nor shadow of turning.
Mich moro amora maber kendo malongʼo aa malo e polo, koa kuom Wuoro manochweyo ler marieny e polo, kendo ma ok lokre ka tipo ma osiko kalokore.
18 According to his own will begat he us by the word of truth, that we should be a certain first-fruits of his creatures.
En ema noyiero owuon mondo onywolwa kokonyore gi wach mar adiera, mondo wabed kaka olemo mokwongo chiek e kind chwechne duto.
19 So that, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath;
Jowetena mageno, winjuru wachni malongʼo ni: Ji duto onego bed mapiyo e winjo wach, kik urikni e wuoyo kendo kik ubed joma igi wangʼ piyo,
20 for man's wrath does not work God's righteousness.
nikech mirima ok mi wabed joma kare kaka Nyasaye dwaro ni wabedi.
21 Wherefore, laying aside all filthiness and abounding of wickedness, accept with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls.
Kuom mano, lonyuru oko kit kethruok gi richo duto, ma kindegi opongʼo piny kendo bolreuru kurwako wach mopidhi e chunyu, manyalo konyou.
22 But be ye doers of [the] word and not hearers only, beguiling yourselves.
To kik uchik mana itu ni winjo wach kende, nono to uwuondoru kendu uwegi to timuru mana gima Muma puonjo.
23 For if any man be a hearer of [the] word and not a doer, he is like to a man considering his natural face in a mirror:
Ngʼato angʼata mawinjo awinja wach to ok tim gima wach owacho, chalo gi ngʼama ngʼiyo lela wangʼe e rangʼi,
24 for he has considered himself and is gone away, and straightway he has forgotten what he was like.
to bangʼ kosengʼiyore maber to owuok odhi adhiya mi wiye wil gi kite gisano.
25 But he that fixes his view on [the] perfect law, that of liberty, and abides in [it], being not a forgetful hearer but a doer of [the] work, he shall be blessed in his doing.
To ngʼat manono adimba Chik malongʼo mar Nyasaye mamiyo dhano bedo thuolo, komedo timo kamano kinde ka kinde, ma ok wiye owil gi gima osewinjo, to osiko otimo gima Chik owacho, ibiro gwedhe e gimoro amora motimo.
26 If any one think himself to be religious, not bridling his tongue, but deceiving his heart, this man's religion is vain.
Ka ngʼato angʼata okawore ni en jalemo, to ok orito lewe motegno to owuondore kende, kendo lemone onge tiende.
27 Pure and undefiled religion before God and the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, to keep oneself unspotted from the world.
Kit lemo ma Nyasaye Wuonwa oyiego ni ler kendo onge ketho en mondo wakony nyithi kiye gi mon ma chwogi otho e chandruokgi, kendo mondo ngʼato ka ngʼato oritre kik timbe maricho mag piny ywaye.
