James 1
1 James the servant of God, and of our Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad, greeting.
An Jakobo, ma jatich Nyasaye kendo jatich Ruoth Yesu Kristo, Andikonu, un dhoudi apar gariyo mokere e pinje duto: Amosou.
2 My brethren, count it all joy, when you shall fall into divers temptations;
Jowetena ka uyudo tembe mayoreyore to kwanreuru ka johawi kendo beduru gi mor mar adier
3 Knowing that the trying of your faith worketh patience.
nikech ungʼeyo ni tem mitemogo yieu miyo ubedo jokinda.
4 And patience hath a perfect work; that you may be perfect and entire, failing in nothing.
To kinda nyaka chop kare chuth eka unyalo doko motegno ma ok uremo gimoro.
5 But if any of you want wisdom, let him ask of God, who giveth to all men abundantly, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given 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 wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea, which is moved and carried about by the wind.
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 Therefore let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord.
Ngʼat ma kamano kik par ni onyalo kwayo Ruoth gimoro mi oyudi,
8 A double minded man is inconstant in all his ways.
nikech en ngʼat ma pache nyadiriyo kendo ma timbene duto yomyom.
9 But let the brother of low condition glory in his exaltation:
To owadwa modhier onego obed mamor ka Nyasaye otingʼe malo.
10 And the rich, in his being low; because as the flower of the grass shall he 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 rose with a burning heat, and parched the grass, and the flower thereof fell off, and the beauty of the shape thereof perished: so also shall the rich man fade away in his ways.
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 that endureth temptation; for when he hath been proved, he shall receive a crown of life, which God hath 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, when he is tempted, say that he is tempted by God. For God is not a tempter of evils, and he tempteth no man.
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 man is tempted by his own concupiscence, being drawn away and allured.
makmana ngʼato ka ngʼato itemo mana ka gombone owuon maricho oywaye kendo tere e richo.
15 Then when concupiscence hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin. But sin, when it is completed, begetteth death.
Bangʼe ka gombo maricho osemako ich to onywolo richo; to richo kosedoko motegno to onywolo tho.
16 Do not err, therefore, my dearest brethren.
Jowetena mageno, kik ngʼato wuondu.
17 Every best gift, and every perfect gift, is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no change, nor shadow of alteration.
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 For of his own will hath he begotten us by the word of truth, that we might be some beginning 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 You know, my dearest brethren. And let every man be swift to hear, but slow to speak, and slow to anger.
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 the anger of man worketh not the justice of God.
nikech mirima ok mi wabed joma kare kaka Nyasaye dwaro ni wabedi.
21 Wherefore casting away all uncleanness, and abundance of naughtiness, with meekness receive the ingrafted 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, deceiving your own selves.
To kik uchik mana itu ni winjo wach kende, nono to uwuondoru kendu uwegi to timuru mana gima Muma puonjo.
23 For if a man be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he shall be compared to a man beholding his own countenance in a glass.
Ngʼato angʼata mawinjo awinja wach to ok tim gima wach owacho, chalo gi ngʼama ngʼiyo lela wangʼe e rangʼi,
24 For he beheld himself, and went his way, and presently forgot what manner of man he was.
to bangʼ kosengʼiyore maber to owuok odhi adhiya mi wiye wil gi kite gisano.
25 But he that hath looked into the perfect law of liberty, and hath continued therein, not becoming a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work; this man shall be blessed in his deed.
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 And if any man think himself to be religious, not bridling his tongue, but deceiving his own 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 Religion clean and undefiled before God and the Father, is this: to visit the fatherless and widows in their tribulation: and to keep one’s self unspotted from this 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.
