James 1
1 James, bondman of God and of [the] Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which [are] in the dispersion, greeting.
Yaaqoob garbicha Waaqaatii fi kan Yesuus Kiristoos Gooftichaa irraa, Gara gosoota kudha lamaan bibittinnaaʼaniitti: Nagaan isiniif haa taʼu.
2 Count it all joy, my brethren, when ye fall into various temptations,
Yaa obboloota ko, yommuu qorumsi adda addaa isin irra gaʼutti akka gammachuu guutuutti fudhadhaa;
3 knowing that the proving of your faith works endurance.
amantiin keessan qoramuun isaa akka obsa isiniif argamsiisu beektuutii.
4 But let endurance have [its] perfect work, that ye may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.
Akka isin bilchaatoo fi guutuu, warra hirʼina tokko iyyuu hin qabne taataniif obsi hojii isaa haa raawwatu.
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:
Isin keessaa namni tokko iyyuu hanqina ogummaa yoo qabaate, Waaqa utuu hin tuffatin nama hundumaaf arjummaan kennu haa kadhatu; isaafis ni kennama.
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;
Inni garuu yommuu kadhatu amantiin haa kadhatu; hin shakkinis; namni shakku akka dambalii galaanaa kan bubbeen dhaʼamee oofamuu ti.
7 for let not that man think that he shall receive anything from the Lord;
Namni sun waan tokko illee Gooftaa biraa nan argadha jedhee hin eeggatin;
8 [he is] a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.
inni nama yaada lamaa ti; iddoo tokkos hin dhaabatu.
9 But let the brother of low degree glory in his elevation,
Obboleessi gad qabame ol qabamuu isaatiin of haa jaju.
10 and the rich in his humiliation, because as [the] grass's flower he will pass away.
Sooressi garuu gad qabamuu isaatti of haa jaju; inni akkuma daraaraa margaa ni harcaʼaatii.
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.
Aduun hoʼa gubuun baatee marga gogsitiitii; daraaraan biqiltuu sanaas ni harcaʼa; miidhaginni isaas ni bada. Sooressis utuma hojii isaatiif olii gad fiiguu bada.
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.
Namni qorumsa obsu eebbifamaa dha; inni yommuu qorametti jabaatee waan dhaabateef gonfoo jireenyaa kan Waaqni warra isa jaallataniif waadaa gale sana ni argataatii.
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.
Namni kam iyyuu yommuu qoramutti, “Waaqatu na qoraa jira” hin jedhin. Waaqni hamaadhaan hin qoramuutii; innis nama tokko illee hin qoru;
14 But every one is tempted, drawn away, and enticed by his own lust;
tokkoon tokkoon namaa garuu yommuu hawwii ofii isaa hamaa sanaan harkifamee gowwoomfamutti qorama.
15 then lust, having conceived, gives birth to sin; but sin fully completed brings forth death.
Hawwiinis yommuu ulfooftetti cubbuu dhalti; cubbuun immoo yommuu guutumaan guutuutti guddattetti duʼa dhalti.
16 Do not err, my beloved brethren.
Yaa obboloota koo jaallatamoo, hin dogoggorinaa.
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.
Kennaan gaariin hundinuu, kennaan mudaa hin qabne hundinuus Abbaa ifaa isa akka gaaddidduu hin geeddaramne sana biraa gubbaadhaa gad buʼa.
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.
Innis akka nu uumama isaa hundumaaf gosa hangafa taanuuf akkuma fedhii isaatti dubbii dhugaatiin nu dhalche.
19 So that, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath;
Yaa obboloota koo jaallatamoo, waan kana hubadhaa: Namni hundinuu dhagaʼuutti haa ariifatu; dubbachuuf suuta haa jedhu; aaruuttis suuta haa jedhu;
20 for man's wrath does not work God's righteousness.
aariin namaa qajeelummaa Waaqaa hin hojjetuutii.
21 Wherefore, laying aside all filthiness and abounding of wickedness, accept with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls.
Kanaaf xuraaʼummaa hundaa fi hammina isin keessa jiraatu hunda of irraa fageessaa; dubbii lubbuu keessan fayyisuu dandaʼu kan isin keessatti facaafame sana garraamummaan fudhadhaa.
22 But be ye doers of [the] word and not hearers only, beguiling yourselves.
Isin garuu warra dubbicha hojii irra oolchitan taʼaa malee warra dhagaʼuu qofaan of gowwoomsitan hin taʼinaa.
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:
Namni dubbicha dhagaʼee hojii irra hin oolchine kam iyyuu nama of-ilaalee keessatti fuula isaa ilaallatu fakkaata;
24 for he has considered himself and is gone away, and straightway he has forgotten what he was like.
innis erga of ilaalee booddee ni deema; yommusuma maal akka fakkaatu ni irraanfata.
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.
Garuu namni seera bilisaa kan hirʼina hin qabne sana hubatee ilaalu, kan akka seera sanaattis jiraatu, kan waan dhagaʼes hojii irra oolchuu malee hin irraanfanne sun waan hojjetu keessatti ni eebbifama.
26 If any one think himself to be religious, not bridling his tongue, but deceiving his heart, this man's religion is vain.
Namni waan amantaa qabu of seʼu, kan garuu arraba isaa hin luugamanne yoo jiraate inni of gowwoomsa; amantaan isaas faayidaa hin qabu.
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.
Amantaan Waaqa Abbaa keenya duratti qulqulluu taʼee fi kan mudaa hin qabne isa kana: kunis ijoollee abbaa fi haadha hin qabnee fi haadhota hiyyeessaa rakkina isaanii keessatti kunuunsuu fi xuraaʼummaa addunyaa irraa of eeggachuu dha.
