James 1
1 James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad, greeting.
An Jakobo, ma jatich Nyasaye kendo jatich Ruoth Yesu Kristo, Andikonu, un dhoudi apar gariyo mokere e pinje duto: Amosou.
2 Count it all joy, my brethren, when ye fall into various temptations;
Jowetena ka uyudo tembe mayoreyore to kwanreuru ka johawi kendo beduru gi mor mar adier
3 knowing that the trying of your faith worketh endurance.
nikech ungʼeyo ni tem mitemogo yieu miyo ubedo jokinda.
4 But let endurance have a perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting in nothing.
To kinda nyaka chop kare chuth eka unyalo doko motegno ma ok uremo gimoro.
5 But if any one of you is wanting in wisdom, let him ask of God, who giveth to all liberally, and upbraideth not; and it will be given him.
Ka ngʼato kuomu ochando rieko to okwa Nyasaye, ma jachiwo maber ne ji duto kendo nomiye maonge kiawa.
6 But let him ask in faith, nothing doubting; for he that doubteth is like a wave of the sea driven by the wind and tossed.
To ka ukwayo to nyaka ubed gi yie ma ok uriwo gi kiawa, nikech ngʼat mariwo gi kiawa chalo gi apaka mar nam ma yamo riembo kendo tago.
7 For let not that man think that he shall receive anything from the Lord,
Ngʼat ma kamano kik par ni onyalo kwayo Ruoth gimoro mi oyudi,
8 a double-minded man as he is, unstable in all his ways.
nikech en ngʼat ma pache nyadiriyo kendo ma timbene duto yomyom.
9 Let the brother of low degree glory in that he is exalted;
To owadwa modhier onego obed mamor ka Nyasaye otingʼe malo.
10 but the rich, in that he is made low; because as the flower of the grass he will pass away.
To ngʼat man-gi mwandu bende onego bed mamor ka Nyasaye odwoke piny, nikech ja-mwandu biro lal nono mana ka maua moti e thim.
11 For the sun rose with its burning heat, and withered the grass, and its flower fell off, and the beauty of its appearance perished; so also will the rich man fade away in his ways.
Nikech ka chiengʼ rieny maliet to owangʼo maua kod thiepene kendo gilwar piny kendo berne rumo. Kamano bende e kaka ja-mwandu biro lal nono, kata mana kotiyo tijene.
12 Blessed is the man that endureth temptation; for when he is approved, he will receive the crown of life, which He promised to them that love him.
Ngʼat matimo kinda kiteme en ngʼat mogwedhi, nikech kochungʼ motegno mi oloyo temno, to obiro yudo osimbo mar ngima, ma Nyasaye osesingore ni nomi joma ohere.
13 Let no one when he is tempted, say, I am tempted by God; for God cannot be tempted with evil, and he tempteth no one.
To ka itemo ngʼato to kik owach niya, “Nyasaye tema.” Nikech Nyasaye ok nyal tem gi gik maricho, to en owuon bende ok otem ji
14 But each one is tempted when by his own lust he is led away and enticed;
makmana ngʼato ka ngʼato itemo mana ka gombone owuon maricho oywaye kendo tere e richo.
15 then lust, having conceived, bringeth forth sin, and sin, when completed, bringeth forth death.
Bangʼe ka gombo maricho osemako ich to onywolo richo; to richo kosedoko motegno to onywolo tho.
16 Do not err, my beloved brethren.
Jowetena mageno, kik ngʼato wuondu.
17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the lights, with whom is no change, nor shadow from turning.
Mich moro amora maber kendo malongʼo aa malo e polo, koa kuom Wuoro manochweyo ler marieny e polo, kendo ma ok lokre ka tipo ma osiko kalokore.
18 Of his own will he begot us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of first-fruits of his creatures.
En ema noyiero owuon mondo onywolwa kokonyore gi wach mar adiera, mondo wabed kaka olemo mokwongo chiek e kind chwechne duto.
19 Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath.
Jowetena mageno, winjuru wachni malongʼo ni: Ji duto onego bed mapiyo e winjo wach, kik urikni e wuoyo kendo kik ubed joma igi wangʼ piyo,
20 For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God.
nikech mirima ok mi wabed joma kare kaka Nyasaye dwaro ni wabedi.
21 Wherefore put off all filthiness, and excess of wickedness, and receive with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls.
Kuom mano, lonyuru oko kit kethruok gi richo duto, ma kindegi opongʼo piny kendo bolreuru kurwako wach mopidhi e chunyu, manyalo konyou.
22 But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.
To kik uchik mana itu ni winjo wach kende, nono to uwuondoru kendu uwegi to timuru mana gima Muma puonjo.
23 For if any one is a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like a man beholding his natural face in a glass;
Ngʼato angʼata mawinjo awinja wach to ok tim gima wach owacho, chalo gi ngʼama ngʼiyo lela wangʼe e rangʼi,
24 for he beholds himself, and goes away, and immediately forgets what manner of man he was.
to bangʼ kosengʼiyore maber to owuok odhi adhiya mi wiye wil gi kite gisano.
25 But he who looks into the perfect law of liberty, and remains there, being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man will be blessed in his deed.
To ngʼat manono adimba Chik malongʼo mar Nyasaye mamiyo dhano bedo thuolo, komedo timo kamano kinde ka kinde, ma ok wiye owil gi gima osewinjo, to osiko otimo gima Chik owacho, ibiro gwedhe e gimoro amora motimo.
26 If any one thinks that he is religious, and bridles not his tongue, but deceives his own heart, this man's religion is vain.
Ka ngʼato angʼata okawore ni en jalemo, to ok orito lewe motegno to owuondore kende, kendo lemone onge tiende.
27 Pure religion and undefiled before God, the Father, is this, to visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep one's self unspotted from the world.
Kit lemo ma Nyasaye Wuonwa oyiego ni ler kendo onge ketho en mondo wakony nyithi kiye gi mon ma chwogi otho e chandruokgi, kendo mondo ngʼato ka ngʼato oritre kik timbe maricho mag piny ywaye.
