< James 2 >

1 My brethren, have not the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory, with respect of persons.
Na fi dunu! Dilia da Hina Gode Yesu Gelesu, hadigi Hinadafa, amo Ea hou lalegaguiba: le, dilia dunu eno ilia dabua ba: su dawa: beba: le, ilima hisu hisu agoane hamomu da dilima hamedei.
2 For if there come unto your assembly a man with a gold ring, in goodly apparel, and there come in also a poor man in vile raiment;
Agoane dawa: ma! Dilia gilisisu amoga bagade gagui dunu gouli lobo sogoga salasu, abula ida: iwane ga: i amola hame gagui dunu abula wadela: i ga: i, ela gilisili masea,
3 And all of you have respect to him that wears the cheerful clothing, and say unto him, Sit you here in a good place; and say to the poor, Stand you there, or sit here under my footstool:
4 Are all of you not then partial in yourselves, and are become judges of evil thoughts?
dilia bagade gagui dunu ema amane sia: sea, “Fisu ida: iwane guiguda: fima!” be hame gagui dunuma amane sia: sea, “Di ga leloma o na emo gadenene fima!” dilia amane sia: sea, dilia dunu hisu hisu agoane ba: sa amola dilia asigi dawa: su ganodini wadela: le fofada: beba: le, dunu da hisu hisu ba: sa amo olelesa.
5 Hearken, my beloved brethren, Has not God chosen the poor of this world rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he has promised to them that love him?
Na dogolegei fi dunu! Nabima! Gode da hame gagui dunu ilia baligiliwane dafawaneyale dawa: su hou amola Ea Hinadafa Hou E da Ema asigi dunuma imunusa: ilegele sia: i liligi, amo ilia gaguma: ne, Gode da ilima ilegei.
6 But all of you have despised the poor. Do not rich men oppress you, and draw you before the judgment seats?
Be dilia da hame gagui dunuma gadesa. Be nowa dunu ilia da dilia hou wadela: sa, amola dilia hou wadela: musa: dili fofada: su dunuma fofada: musa: hiouginanala: ? Bagade gagui dunu ili fawane!
7 Do not they blaspheme that worthy name by the which all of you are called?
Bagade gagui dunu ilia da dio ida: iwane gala Gode da dilima asuli dagoi, amo wadela: musa: lasogole sia: sa.
8 If all of you fulfill the royal law according to the scripture, You shall love your neighbour as yourself, all of you do well:
Gode Ea Hinadafa Hou sema da Gode Sia: amo ganodini agoane dedei diala, “Disu da: i hodo amoma asigi hou defele, eno dunuma asigima!” Amo nabawane hamosea, dilia da hou ida: iwane hamosu dunu agoane ba: mu.
9 But if all of you have respect to persons, all of you commit sin, and are convinced of the law as transgressors.
Be dilia da dunu ilia dabua ba: su hou amo dawa: beba: le, ilima hisu hisu agoane hamosea, dilia da wadela: i hamosa. Dilia da agoane hamosea, Gode Ea sema da dilima diliwaneya udidisa.
10 For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all.
Nowa dunu da Gode Ea sema afadafa fawane wadela: sea, e da sema huluanedafa wadela: lesi dagoi.
11 For he that said, Do not commit adultery, said also, Do not kill. Now if you commit no adultery, yet if you kill, you are become a transgressor of the law.
Gode da amane hamoma: ne sia: i, “Inia uda mae adole lama!” E da eno amane sia: i, “Dunu eno bogoma: ne mae medoma!” Amaiba: le, di da inia uda mae adole lale, dunu eno fane legesea, di da sema wadela: su dunu.
12 So speak all of you, and so do, as they that shall be judged by the law of liberty.
Gode da hobea, sema da ninima hahawane halegale lalusu iabe amo dawa: le, ninima fofada: mu. Amo dawa: beba: le, dilia sia: noga: iwane amola hou ida: iwane hamoma.
13 For he shall have judgment without mercy, that has showed no mercy; and mercy rejoices against judgment.
Bai Gode da dunu amo da eno dunu ea hou hame gogolema: ne olofosa, ema gogolema: ne olofosu hame imunu. Be asigiwane gogolema: ne olofosu hou da se imunusa: fofada: su hou baligisa.
14 What does it profit, my brethren, though a man say he has faith, and have not works? can faith save him?
Na fi dunu! Dunu afae da ea lafidili fawane, “Na da Gode dawa:” sia: sea, be hou ida: iwane hame hamosea, amo hou da dunu ea hou hame fidisa. Agoane dafawaneyale dawa: su hou da amo dunu gaga: ma: bela: ? Hame mabu!
15 If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food,
Dilia fi amo ganodini, dilia fi dunu o uda da abula hame amola ha: i manu hame, agoaiwane esalebe ba: sea,
16 And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be all of you warmed and filled; notwithstanding all of you give them not those things which are necessary to the body; what does it profit?
be dilia lafidili fawane ilima, “Na da di Gode fidima: ne sia: ne gadosa. Lalu houma amola ha: i manu hahawane moma!” amo fawane sia: sea, be ea da: i hodo hame fidisia, amo da hou noga: idafa? Hame mabu!
17 Even so faith, if it has not works, is dead, being alone.
Dafawaneyale dawa: su hou da amaiwane diala. Di da dia asigi dawa: su ganodini fawane dafawaneyale dawa: su hou lalegagui, be dunu eno ilima fidima: ne hame hawa: hamosea, dia dafawaneyale dawa: su hou da bogosu liligi agoai galebe.
18 Yea, a man may say, You have faith, and I have works: show me your faith without your works, and I will show you my faith by my works.
Be dunu afadafa da amane sia: mu, “Dunu afae da dafawaneyale dawa: su hou lalegagui. Dunu eno da fidisu hawa: hamosa,” amane sia: mu. Na da bu adole imunu, amane, “Fidisu hou mae hamone, dafawaneyale dawa: su hou da hamedei liligi agoane. Dunu da fidisu hawa: hamosea fawane, e da dafawaneyale dawa: su hou lalegagui dagoi olelesa.”
19 You believe that there is one God; you do well: the devils also believe, and tremble.
Gode afadafa esala, amo dilia dafawaneyale dawa: bela: ? Defea! Be Fio a: silibu huluane, ilia amo defele dafawaneyale dawa: beba: le, beda: iba: le yagugusa.
20 But will you know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?
Gagaoui di! Udigili mae hawa: hamone, dafawaneyale dawa: su hou lafidili sia: sa, amo da hamedei liligi.
21 Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar?
Gode da ninia aowalali ada A: ibalaha: me habodane afadenene bu moloidafa hamoi ba: bela: ? A: ibalaha: me da Aisage oloda da: iya ligisi, amo hawa: hamobeba: le, Gode da A: ibalaha: me afadenene bu moloidafa hamoi dagoi ba: i.
22 See you how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect?
Dilia hame ba: sala: ? A: ibalaha: me ea dafawaneyale dawa: su hou amola ea hawa: hamosu, da gilisili ea houdafa olelesu. Ea hawa: hamobeba: le, ea dafawaneyale dawa: le lalegagusu hou da dafawane olelei.
23 And the scripture was fulfilled which says, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God.
Amaiba: le, Gode Sia: Dedei da dafawane ba: i, amane, “A: ibalaha: me da Gode dafawaneyale dawa: beba: le, Gode da A: ibalaha: me afadenene bu moloidafa hamoi dagoi ba: i.” Amanoba, Gode da A: ibalaha: mema “Na na: iyado” dio asuli.
24 All of you see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.
Amaiba: le, noga: le dawa: ma! Dunu da gilisili hawa: hamobeba: le amola dafawaneyale dawa: beba: le, Gode da amo dunu moloidafa hamoi ba: sa.
25 Likewise also was not Rahab the harlot justified by works, when she had received the messengers, and had sent them out another way?
Musa: wadela: i uda ea dio amo La: ihabe, ea hou agoaiwane ba: su. E da Isala: ili desega misi dunu ilima aowalalu, ilima hobeale masunu logo olelei. Amo hawa: hamobeba: le, Gode da La: iha: be moloidafa hamoi dagoi ba: i.
26 For as the body without the spirit (pneuma) is dead, so faith without works is dead also.
Dunu da: i hodo da a: silibu hame galea, amo da bogoi. Amo defele, dafawaneyale dawa: su hou da hawa: hamosu hame galea, amo amolawane da bogoi agoai ba: sa.
