James 1
1 This letter comes from James, servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ. It is sent to the twelve tribes scattered abroad. Best wishes to you!
Na da Ya: mese, Gode amola Hina Gode Yesu Gelesu, Ea hawa: hamosu dunu esala. Na da dilia Gode Ea fi dunu osobo bagade fifi asi gala amo ganodini esala, dilima asigi sia: dedesa.
2 My friends, choose to stay happy even when all kinds of troubles come your way,
Na fi dunu! Adoba: su hou hisu hisu da dilima doaga: sea, mae da: i dione, hahawane ba: ma! Bai Gode da dilima adoba: su hou amo logo hame hedofasea, dilia da mae dafane lelebeba: le, bu gasawane leloma: ne dawa: mu.
3 because you know that endurance comes from dealing with challenges to your trust in God.
4 Let your endurance become as strong as possible, so that you will be completely mature, without any shortcomings.
Be Gode da dilia hou afadenene ida: idafa hamomusa: dawa: lalebeba: le, dilia amo hou ida: iwanedafa amoga doaga: ma: ne, mae dafane gebewane hahawane masa.
5 If any of you need wisdom, ask God, who gives generously to everyone without holding back.
Be nowa dunu da bagade dawa: su hou hame galea, defea, e da amo lama: ne Godema sia: ne gadomu da defea. Gode da dunu huluane ilima mae hihini hahawane dogolegele imunusa: dawa: beba: le, E da amo hou imunu.
6 But when you ask, remember to trust in God—don't have any doubts. Someone who doubts is like the crashing waves of the sea, tossed about and driven by the wind.
Be dilia Godema sia: ne gadosea, dilia logo osea: i hame, be afae fawane asili, dafawaneyale dawa: iwane sia: ne gadomu da defea. Be nowa da dafawaneyale hame dawa: sea, e da hano gafului foga sefasisa agoane ba: sa.
7 Nobody like that should think they'll get anything from the Lord—
8 their minds think every which way, and they're unstable in whatever they do.
Agoai dunu, e da la: ididili la: ididili logo aduna masusa: dawa: beba: le, e da Hinadafa da ema ea hanai liligi imunusa: hamedei agoane ba: mu.
9 Believers who are born poor should take pride in the high position they've been given,
Yesu Ea fa: no bobogesu dunu liligi hame gagui dunu, amo Gode da gaguia gadosea, e da hahawane ba: mu da defea.
10 while the rich should “boast” in the humble position they now have, since they will fade away like flowers in the field.
Be Gode da liligi bagade gagui dunu ea hou fonobosea, e amola hahawane ba: mu da defea. Bai bagade gagui dunu ilia da hedolo biomu gisi amo ea sogea defele hedolo mugulumu.
11 For the sun rises along with the blistering wind and scorches the grass. The flowers fall and their beauty is marred. Everything the rich achieve will fade in just the same way.
Eso ma: sea, gia: i bagadeba: le, amo gisi da hedolo biole, gugunufinisi dagoi ba: sa. Amo defele, bagade gagui dunu da bidi lasu hawa: hamonanea, e da hedolowane gugunufinisi dagoi ba: mu.
12 Happy is anyone who patiently endures temptation, for when they've proved that they are trustworthy, they will receive the crown of life which God promises to those who love him.
Nowa dunu da adoba: su hou amo ganodini ea hou hame yolesisia, e da hahawane gala. Bai e da mae yolesili, amo adoba: su hou baligisia, Gode da Ema asigi dunu ilima imunu ilegele sia: i liligi amo esalusudafa habuga, bidi agoane ema imunu.
13 Nobody should say when they're tempted, “I'm being tempted by God.” For God is not tempted by evil, nor does he tempt anyone.
Be adoba: su hou da ema dafama: ne olelemusa: doaga: sea, “Gode da nama dafama: ne olelesa!” amo sia: mu da defea hame. Bai wadela: i dafama: ne adoba: su hou da Godema doaga: mu da hamedei. Amola E da dunu afae ema dafama: ne hamedafa adoba: sa.
14 Temptations come from our own evil desires that lead us astray and entrap us.
Be adoba: su hou da dunu hiougisia, e da fedege agoane hisu wadela: i hanai asigi dawa: suga saniga: i dagoi ba: sa.
15 Such desires lead to sin, and sin, when it's fully developed, causes death.
Amasea, ea wadela: i hanai hou da ea dogo ganodini wadela: i hou mano agoane hamone, amo da lalelegesea wadela: i houdafa ba: sa. Amasea, wadela: i hou da asigilasea, amo da mano eno hamosa, amo da bogosu.
16 My dear friends, don't be deceived.
Na dogolegei fi dunu! Na da Sa: ida: ne ea dilima ogogomu higa: i gala mabu.
17 All that's good, every perfect gift, is from above, and comes down from the Father who made heaven's lights. Unlike them he doesn't change—he doesn't vary or cause shadows.
Ida: iwane iasu liligi huluanedafa da Hebene sogega maha. Gode, amo da muagado gamali huluane hahamoi dunu, E da afadenemu mae dawa: le, gasi hamomusa: sinidigimu hame dawa: E da iasu liligi ida: iwane gala huluane iaha.
18 He chose to give us new life through the word of truth, so that out of all his creation we would be very special to him.
Gode da hanaiba: le, Ea Sia: dafawane amoga nini hahamoi dagoi. Ea da nini Ea hahamoi liligi amoma bisilua esaloma: ne, nini hahamoi dagoi.
19 Remember this, my dear friends: everyone should be quick to listen but slow to speak, and slow to get angry,
Na dogolegei fi dunu! Dawa: ma! Dunu huluane ilia ha: giwane nabimu da defea. Be hedolowane bu mae adole ima amola hedolo mae ougima.
20 because human anger doesn't reflect the good character of God.
Osobo bagade dunu ilia ougi hou da Gode Ea ida: iwane hawa: hamosu hame fidisa.
21 So get rid of all that's filthy and evil. Humbly accept the word that's been implanted within you—for this is what can save you.
Amaiba: le, wadela: i hou amola nigima: hou huluane yolesima. Godema nabasu hou hamoma. Gode Ea sia: amo da dilima gaga: su liligi, E da dilia dogo ganodini hawa: agoane bugimusa: dawa: Dilia amo sia: lalegaguma.
22 But do what the word says—don't just listen to it and delude yourselves.
Dilia ogogole Gode Ea sia: gega fawane mae nabima. Be Gode Ea sia: nabawane hamoma.
23 If you just listen to the word, and don't act on it, it's like staring at your own face in a mirror.
Nowa dunu da Gode Ea sia: gega nabalu be nabawane hame hamosea, amo da dunu e da ea odagi ba: ma: ne daya ba: su ganodini ba: sa agoane.
24 You see yourself, but then you leave, and immediately forget what you looked like.
Amo dunu da ea odagi ea ba: su ba: lalu, asili, e da hedolowane ea odagi ba: su hou bu gogolesa.
25 But if you look to the perfect law of freedom and follow it, not as someone who just listens and then forgets, but as someone who acts on it—then you will be blessed in what you do.
Be nowa da sema ida: iwanedafa (amo da osobo bagade dunu halegalewane masa: ne hamosa), amo e da ha: giwane mae yolesili ba: sea amola nabawane mae gogolele hamonanea, amo dunu da osobo bagadega esalea, Gode Ea hahawane dogolegele iasu ba: mu.
26 If you think you're religious, but don't control what you say, you deceive yourself—your religion is pointless.
Nowa dunu da Gode Ea hou lalegagui dagoi hi dawa: sea, defea, e da ea gona: su amoma ouligisuwane esalumu da defea. Nowa dunu da ea gona: su amoma ouligisawane hame esalea, e da Gode hame dawa: amola hi da hima ogogosa.
27 In the eyes of our God and Father, religion that's pure and genuine is to visit orphans and widows in their suffering, and to keep yourself from being contaminated by the world.
Ada Gode da Ema fa: no bobogesu houdafa amo fawane hahawane dogolegele ba: sa. Gode da Ema fa: no bobogesu houdafa agoane ba: sa: - Amo da guluba: mano ouligisu hou, didalo se nababeba: le ouligisu hou, amola wadela: i osobo bagade hou amoga afafasu hou.
