James 1
1 James the servant of God, and of our Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad, greeting.
Yaaqoob garbicha Waaqaatii fi kan Yesuus Kiristoos Gooftichaa irraa, Gara gosoota kudha lamaan bibittinnaaʼaniitti: Nagaan isiniif haa taʼu.
2 My brethren, count it all joy, when you shall fall into divers temptations;
Yaa obboloota ko, yommuu qorumsi adda addaa isin irra gaʼutti akka gammachuu guutuutti fudhadhaa;
3 Knowing that the trying of your faith worketh patience.
amantiin keessan qoramuun isaa akka obsa isiniif argamsiisu beektuutii.
4 And patience hath a perfect work; that you may be perfect and entire, failing in nothing.
Akka isin bilchaatoo fi guutuu, warra hirʼina tokko iyyuu hin qabne taataniif obsi hojii isaa haa raawwatu.
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.
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 wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea, which is moved and carried about by the wind.
Inni garuu yommuu kadhatu amantiin haa kadhatu; hin shakkinis; namni shakku akka dambalii galaanaa kan bubbeen dhaʼamee oofamuu ti.
7 Therefore let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord.
Namni sun waan tokko illee Gooftaa biraa nan argadha jedhee hin eeggatin;
8 A double minded man is inconstant in all his ways.
inni nama yaada lamaa ti; iddoo tokkos hin dhaabatu.
9 But let the brother of low condition glory in his exaltation:
Obboleessi gad qabame ol qabamuu isaatiin of haa jaju.
10 And the rich, in his being low; because as the flower of the grass shall he pass away.
Sooressi garuu gad qabamuu isaatti of haa jaju; inni akkuma daraaraa margaa ni harcaʼaatii.
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.
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 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.
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, when he is tempted, say that he is tempted by God. For God is not a tempter of evils, and he tempteth no man.
Namni kam iyyuu yommuu qoramutti, “Waaqatu na qoraa jira” hin jedhin. Waaqni hamaadhaan hin qoramuutii; innis nama tokko illee hin qoru;
14 But every man is tempted by his own concupiscence, being drawn away and allured.
tokkoon tokkoon namaa garuu yommuu hawwii ofii isaa hamaa sanaan harkifamee gowwoomfamutti qorama.
15 Then when concupiscence hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin. But sin, when it is completed, begetteth death.
Hawwiinis yommuu ulfooftetti cubbuu dhalti; cubbuun immoo yommuu guutumaan guutuutti guddattetti duʼa dhalti.
16 Do not err, therefore, my dearest brethren.
Yaa obboloota koo jaallatamoo, hin dogoggorinaa.
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.
Kennaan gaariin hundinuu, kennaan mudaa hin qabne hundinuus Abbaa ifaa isa akka gaaddidduu hin geeddaramne sana biraa gubbaadhaa gad buʼa.
18 For of his own will hath he begotten us by the word of truth, that we might be some beginning of his creatures.
Innis akka nu uumama isaa hundumaaf gosa hangafa taanuuf akkuma fedhii isaatti dubbii dhugaatiin nu dhalche.
19 You know, my dearest brethren. And let every man be swift to hear, but slow to speak, and slow to anger.
Yaa obboloota koo jaallatamoo, waan kana hubadhaa: Namni hundinuu dhagaʼuutti haa ariifatu; dubbachuuf suuta haa jedhu; aaruuttis suuta haa jedhu;
20 For the anger of man worketh not the justice of God.
aariin namaa qajeelummaa Waaqaa hin hojjetuutii.
21 Wherefore casting away all uncleanness, and abundance of naughtiness, with meekness receive the ingrafted 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, deceiving your own selves.
Isin garuu warra dubbicha hojii irra oolchitan taʼaa malee warra dhagaʼuu qofaan of gowwoomsitan hin taʼinaa.
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.
Namni dubbicha dhagaʼee hojii irra hin oolchine kam iyyuu nama of-ilaalee keessatti fuula isaa ilaallatu fakkaata;
24 For he beheld himself, and went his way, and presently forgot what manner of man he was.
innis erga of ilaalee booddee ni deema; yommusuma maal akka fakkaatu ni irraanfata.
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.
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 And if any man think himself to be religious, not bridling his tongue, but deceiving his own 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 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.
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.
