James 2
1 My brothers, do not hold the faith of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ in favor by appearance,
’Yan’uwana, a matsayinmu cikin Ubangiji Yesu Kiristi maɗaukaki, kada ku nuna bambanci.
2 for if there may come into your synagogue a man with gold ring, in radiant clothing, and there may also come in a poor man in vile clothing,
A ce wani ya shigo cikin taronku saye da zoben zinariya da riguna masu tsada, wani matalauci kuma saye da tsummoki shi ma ya shigo,
3 and you may look on him bearing the radiant clothing, and may say to him, “You—sit here well,” and may say to the poor man, “You—stand there,” or, “Sit here under my footstool,”
in kuka mai da hankali na musamman ga mutumin da yake da riguna masu tsadan nan kuka kuma ce, “Ga wurin zama mai kyau dominka,” amma kuka ce wa matalaucin nan, “Kai tsaya daga can,” ko kuwa, “Ka zauna a ƙasa kusa da ƙafafuna,”
4 you did not judge fully in yourselves, and became ill-reasoning judges.
ashe, ba ku nuna bambanci a tsakaninku ke nan ba, kuka kuma zama alƙalai masu mugayen tunani?
5 Listen, my beloved brothers, did God not choose the poor of this world, rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom that He promised to those loving Him?
Ku saurara,’yan’uwana ƙaunatattu. Ashe, Allah bai zaɓi waɗanda suke matalauta a idon duniya don su zama masu wadata cikin bangaskiya, su kuma gāji mulkin da ya yi wa masu ƙaunarsa alkawari ba?
6 But you dishonored the poor one. Do the rich not oppress you and themselves draw you to judgment-seats?
Ga shi kun wulaƙanta matalauta. Ashe, ba masu arziki ne suke cutarku ba? Ba su ba ne suke jan ku zuwa kotu?
7 Do they not themselves speak evil of the good Name having been called on you?
Ba su ba ne suke ɓata sunan nan mai martaba wanda aka san ku da shi ba?
8 If, indeed, you fulfill royal law, according to the Writing: “You will love your neighbor as yourself,” you do well;
In fa kun kiyaye dokan nan ta mulki wadda take cikin Nassi mai cewa, “Ƙaunaci maƙwabcinka kamar kanka,” kun yi daidai.
9 but if you favor by appearance, you work sin, being convicted by the Law as transgressors;
Amma in kuka nuna bambanci, kun yi zunubi ke nan shari’a kuma ta same ku da laifi a matsayin masu karya doka.
10 for whoever will keep the whole Law, but will stumble in one [point], he has become guilty of all;
Gama duk wanda ya kiyaye dukan doka amma ya yi tuntuɓe a kan abu ɗaya kaɗai, ya zama mai laifin karya dukansu ke nan.
11 for He who is saying, “You may not commit adultery,” also said, “You may not murder”; but if you will not commit adultery, but will commit murder, you have become a transgressor of law;
Gama shi da ya ce, “Kada ka yi zina,” shi ne kuma ya ce, “Kada ka yi kisankai.” In kuwa ba ka zina amma kana kisankai, ka zama mai karya doka ke nan.
12 thus, speak and so act as [one] about to be judged by a law of liberty,
Ku yi magana ku kuma yi aiki kamar waɗanda za a yi musu shari’a bisa ga doka mai ba da’yanci,
13 for the judgment without mercy [is] to him having not done mercy, and mercy exults over judgment.
gama za a yi wa duk wanda bai nuna jinƙai ba hukunci babu jinƙai. Jinƙai yakan yi nasara a kan hukunci!
14 What [is] the profit, my brothers, if anyone may speak of having faith, but he may not have works? Is that faith able to save him?
Wanda amfani ne,’yan’uwana, a ce wani yă ce yana da bangaskiya, amma ba shi da ayyuka? Anya, wannan bangaskiya za tă iya cetonsa kuwa?
15 And if a brother or sister may be naked, and may be destitute of daily food,
A ce wani ɗan’uwa ko’yar’uwa ba shi da riguna ko abincin yini,
16 and anyone of you may say to them, “Depart in peace, be warmed, and be filled,” but may not give to them the things necessary for the body, what [is] the profit?
sai waninku yă ce masa, “Sauka lafiya, Allah ya ba da ci da sha da kuma sutura,” amma bai yi wani abu game da bukatunsa na jiki ba, ina amfani?
17 So also faith, if it may not have works, is dead by itself.
Haka ma bangaskiya ita kaɗai, in ba tare da ayyuka ba, matacciya ce.
18 But someone may say, “You have faith, and I have works.” Show me your faith without works, and I will show you my faith out of works.
Amma wani zai ce, “Kai kana da bangaskiya; ni kuma ina da ayyuka.” Ka nuna mini bangaskiyarka ba tare da ayyuka ba, ni kuma zan nuna maka bangaskiyata ta wurin abin da nake yi.
19 You believe that God is one; you do well! The demons also believe—and shudder!
Ka gaskata cewa Allah ɗaya ne. To, da kyau! Ai, ko aljanu ma sun gaskata wannan, har da rawan jiki.
20 And do you wish to know, O vain man, that faith apart from works is dead?
Kai wawa, kana son tabbaci cewa bangaskiya marar ayyuka banza ce?
21 Was not our father Abraham considered righteous out of works, having brought up his son Isaac on the altar?
Ashe, ba a mai da kakanmu Ibrahim mai adalci saboda abin da ya yi ba ne sa’ad da ya miƙa ɗansa Ishaku a bisa bagade?
22 Do you see that faith was working with his works, and faith was perfected out of the works?
Ai, ka gani cewa bangaskiyarsa da ayyukansa sun yi aiki tare, bangaskiyarsa kuma ta zama cikakkiya ta wurin abin da ya yi.
23 And the Writing was fulfilled that is saying, “And Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned to him for righteousness”; and, “Friend of God” he was called.
Aka kuma cika nassin nan da ya ce, “Ibrahim ya gaskata Allah, aka kuma lissafta wannan adalci ne gare shi,” aka kuma ce da shi abokin Allah.
24 You see, then, that man is considered righteous out of works, and not out of faith only;
Kun ga cewa ashe mutum zai sami kuɓuta ta wurin abin da ya yi ne ba ta wurin bangaskiya kaɗai ba.
25 and in like manner also Rahab the prostitute—was she not considered righteous out of works, having received the messengers, and having sent [them] forth by another way?
Ta haka kuma ashe, Rahab karuwan nan ba a ɗauke ta mai adalci ce saboda abin da ta yi ba ne sa’ad da ta ba wa’yan leƙen asirin nan masauƙi ta kuma sallame su suka tafi ta wata hanya dabam?
26 For as the body apart from [the] spirit is dead, so also the faith apart from works is dead.
Kamar yadda jikin da babu ruhu matacce ne, haka ma bangaskiyar da babu ayyuka matacciya ce.
