James 1
1 James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are in the Diaspora: Greetings.
Ni Santiago, nga adipen ti Dios ken ti Apo a ni Jesu-Cristo, kadagiti sangapulo ket dua a tribu iti Pannakaiwara-wara, kablaaw.
2 Count it all joy, my brothers, when you encounter various trials,
Ibilangyo amin a rag-o, kakabsatko, no makapadaskayo iti nadumaduma a pakariribukan,
3 knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance.
nga ammoyo a iti pannakasuot ti pammatiyo ket mangpataud iti panagibtur.
4 Let endurance have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.
Palubosanyo a leppasen ti panagibtur ti trabahona, tapno agbalinkayo koma a naan-anay a nataengan, nga awan pagkuranganna.
5 But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all generously and without finding fault; and it will be given to him.
Ngem no kasapulan ti siasinoman kadakayo ti kinasirib, dawatenna daytoy manipud iti Dios, ti sibubuslon a mangmangted ken saan a mangtubtubngar kadagiti amin a dumawat ket ipaaynanto daytoy.
6 But let him ask in faith, without any doubting, for the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, driven and tossed by the wind.
Ngem dumawatkayo nga addaan iti pammati, nga awanan iti panagduadua, ta ti agduadua ket kasla dalluyon idiay baybay, iturturong iti angin ken maipalpalladaw iti aglawlaw.
7 For let that person not think that he will receive anything from the Lord.
Ta masapul a saan a panunoten dayta a tao a maawatnanto ti kiddawna iti Apo;
8 He is a double-minded person, unstable in all his ways.
ti kasta a tao ket agduadua ti panunotna, saan a natalna kadagiti amin a wagasna.
9 But let the brother in humble circumstances glory in his high position;
Ti nakurapay a kabsat ket agrag-o koma iti nangato a kasasaadna,
10 and the rich, in that he is made humble, because like the flower in the grass, he will pass away.
kabayatan a ti nabaknang a kabsat iti kinapakumbabana, gapu ta mapukawto isuna a kasla iti panagpukaw ti atap a sabong iti talon.
11 For the sun arises with the scorching wind, and withers the grass, and the flower in it falls, and the beauty of its appearance perishes. So also will the rich person fade away in his pursuits.
Sumingising ti init nga addaan iti makasinit a pudot ket laylayenna ti mula, ket matinnag ti sabong ket matay ti pintasna. Iti isu met laeng a wagas, mapukawto dagiti nabaknang a tattao iti tengnga dagiti ar-aramidenda.
12 Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial, for when he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life, which he promised to those who love him.
Nagasat ti tao a makaibtur iti pannakasuot, ta kalpasan a malasatanna ti suot, awatennanto ti balangat ti biag, a naikari kadagiti agay-ayat iti Dios.
13 Let no one say when he is tempted, "I am tempted by God," for God cannot be tempted by evil, and he himself tempts no one.
Awan koma iti mangibaga inton masulisog isuna, “Daytoy a sulisog ket naggapu iti Dios,” gapu ta saan a nasulisog ti Dios babaen iti dakes, ken ti Dios mismo ket saan a mangsulsulisog iti siasinoman.
14 But each one is tempted, when he is drawn away by his own lust, and enticed.
Masulisog ti tunggal tao babaen iti bukodna a dakes a tartarigagay a mangal-allukoy ken mang-guyguyod kenkuana a paadayo.
15 Then the lust, when it has conceived, bears sin; and the sin, when it is full grown, brings forth death.
Ket kalpasan a maiyinaw ti managbasol a tartarigagay, maipasngay ti basol, ken kalpasan a dimmakkel a naan-anay ti basol ibungana ti patay.
16 Do not be deceived, my beloved brothers.
Saankayo a paallilaw, ay-ayatek a kakabsat.
17 All generous giving and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom can be no variation, nor turning shadow.
Ti tunggal nasayaat a sagut ken tunggal naan-anay a sagut ket manipud idiay ngato, a bumabbaba manipud iti Ama dagiti lawag. Saan nga agbalbaliw isuna a kasla kadagiti agsukat-sukat nga aniniwan.
18 Of his own will he brought us forth by the word of truth, that we should be a kind of first fruits of his creatures.
Pinili ti Dios nga ikkannatayo iti biag babaen iti sao iti kinapudno, tapno agbalintayo a kasla dagiti umuna a bunga kadagiti pinarsuana.
19 This you know, my beloved brothers. But let every person be swift to hear, slow to speak, and slow to anger;
Ammoyo daytoy, ay-ayatek a kakabsat. Masapul a nasiglat a dumngeg ti tunggal tao, nainnayad nga agsao, ken saan a nalaka a makaunget,
20 for human anger does not produce the righteousness of God.
ta ti unget ti tao ket saanna a tungpalen ti kinalinteg iti Dios.
21 Therefore, putting away all filthiness and overflowing of wickedness, receive with humility the implanted word, which is able to save your souls.
Ngarud ikkatenyo amin a managbasol a rugit ken ti dakes nga adda iti sadinoman, ken iti kinapakumbaba awaten ti naimula a sao, nga isu ti makaisalakan kadagiti kararuayo.
22 But be doers of the word, and not only hearers, deluding your own selves.
Agtulnogkayo iti sao, saanyo laeng a denggen daytoy, nga al-allilawenyo dagiti bukodyo a bagi.
23 For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like someone looking at his natural face in a mirror;
Ta no mangngeg ti siasinoman ti sao ken saanna nga aramiden daytoy, maiyarig isuna iti maysa a tao a mangkitkita iti rupana iti sarming.
24 for he sees himself, and goes away, and immediately forgets what kind of person he was.
Kitkitaenna ti rupana, ken pumanaw ket malipatanna a dagus ti langana.
25 But he who looks into the perfect Law of freedom, and continues, not being a hearer who forgets, but a doer of the work, this person will be blessed in what he does.
Ngem ti tao a kumita a siaannad iti naan-anay a linteg, ti linteg iti wayawaya, ken agtultuloy nga agtultulnog iti daytoy, saan laeng a kas dumdumngeg a malipatanna, mabendisionanto daytoy a tao kas aramidenna daytoy.
26 If anyone thinks himself to be religious while he does not control his tongue, but deceives his heart, this one's religion is worthless.
No panunoten ti siasinoman a relihioso isuna, ngem saanna a tengngelen ti dilana, al-allilawenna ti pusona ken awan serbi ti relihionna.
27 Pure religion and undefiled before our God and Father is this: to visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained by the world.
Ti nadalus ken saan a narugitan a relihion iti sangoanan ti Dios ken Amatayo ket daytoy: ti panangtulong kadagiti awanan ti ama ken kadagiti balo a babbai iti panagrigatda, ken ti mangsalaknib iti bagi manipud iti panangdadael iti lubong.
