James 1
1 James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad, greeting.
Yaaqoob garbicha Waaqaatii fi kan Yesuus Kiristoos Gooftichaa irraa,
2 Count it all joy, my brethren, when ye fall into various temptations;
Yaa obboloota ko, yommuu qorumsi adda addaa isin irra gaʼutti akka gammachuu guutuutti fudhadhaa;
3 knowing that the trying of your faith worketh endurance.
amantiin keessan qoramuun isaa akka obsa isiniif argamsiisu beektuutii.
4 But let endurance have a perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting in nothing.
Akka isin bilchaatoo fi guutuu, warra hirʼina tokko iyyuu hin qabne taataniif obsi hojii isaa haa raawwatu.
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.
Isin keessaa namni tokko iyyuu hanqina ogummaa yoo qabaate, Waaqa utuu hin tuffatin nama hundumaaf arjummaan kennu haa kadhatu; isaafis ni kennama.
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.
Inni garuu yommuu kadhatu amantiin haa kadhatu; hin shakkinis; namni shakku akka dambalii galaanaa kan bubbeen dhaʼamee oofamuu ti.
7 For let not that man think that he shall receive anything from the Lord,
Namni sun waan tokko illee Gooftaa biraa nan argadha jedhee hin eeggatin;
8 a double-minded man as he is, unstable in all his ways.
inni nama yaada lamaa ti; iddoo tokkos hin dhaabatu.
9 Let the brother of low degree glory in that he is exalted;
Obboleessi gad qabame ol qabamuu isaatiin of haa jaju.
10 but the rich, in that he is made low; because as the flower of the grass he will pass away.
Sooressi garuu gad qabamuu isaatti of haa jaju; inni akkuma daraaraa margaa ni harcaʼaatii.
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.
Aduun hoʼa gubuun baatee marga gogsitiitii; daraaraan biqiltuu sanaas ni harcaʼa; miidhaginni isaas ni bada. Sooressis utuma hojii isaatiif olii gad fiiguu bada.
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.
Namni qorumsa obsu eebbifamaa dha; inni yommuu qorametti jabaatee waan dhaabateef gonfoo jireenyaa kan Waaqni warra isa jaallataniif waadaa gale sana ni argataatii.
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.
Namni kam iyyuu yommuu qoramutti, “Waaqatu na qoraa jira” hin jedhin. Waaqni hamaadhaan hin qoramuutii; innis nama tokko illee hin qoru;
14 But each one is tempted when by his own lust he is led away and enticed;
tokkoon tokkoon namaa garuu yommuu hawwii ofii isaa hamaa sanaan harkifamee gowwoomfamutti qorama.
15 then lust, having conceived, bringeth forth sin, and sin, when completed, bringeth forth death.
Hawwiinis yommuu ulfooftetti cubbuu dhalti; cubbuun immoo yommuu guutumaan guutuutti guddattetti duʼa dhalti.
16 Do not err, my beloved brethren.
Yaa obboloota koo jaallatamoo, hin dogoggorinaa.
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.
Kennaan gaariin hundinuu, kennaan mudaa hin qabne hundinuus Abbaa ifaa isa akka gaaddidduu hin geeddaramne sana biraa gubbaadhaa gad buʼa.
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.
Innis akka nu uumama isaa hundumaaf gosa hangafa taanuuf akkuma fedhii isaatti dubbii dhugaatiin nu dhalche.
19 Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath.
Yaa obboloota koo jaallatamoo, waan kana hubadhaa: Namni hundinuu dhagaʼuutti haa ariifatu; dubbachuuf suuta haa jedhu; aaruuttis suuta haa jedhu;
20 For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God.
aariin namaa qajeelummaa Waaqaa hin hojjetuutii.
21 Wherefore put off all filthiness, and excess of wickedness, and receive with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls.
Kanaaf xuraaʼummaa hundaa fi hammina isin keessa jiraatu hunda of irraa fageessaa; dubbii lubbuu keessan fayyisuu dandaʼu kan isin keessatti facaafame sana garraamummaan fudhadhaa.
22 But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.
Isin garuu warra dubbicha hojii irra oolchitan taʼaa malee warra dhagaʼuu qofaan of gowwoomsitan hin taʼinaa.
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;
Namni dubbicha dhagaʼee hojii irra hin oolchine kam iyyuu nama of-ilaalee keessatti fuula isaa ilaallatu fakkaata;
24 for he beholds himself, and goes away, and immediately forgets what manner of man he was.
innis erga of ilaalee booddee ni deema; yommusuma maal akka fakkaatu ni irraanfata.
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.
Garuu namni seera bilisaa kan hirʼina hin qabne sana hubatee ilaalu, kan akka seera sanaattis jiraatu, kan waan dhagaʼes hojii irra oolchuu malee hin irraanfanne sun waan hojjetu keessatti ni eebbifama.
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.
Namni waan amantaa qabu of seʼu, kan garuu arraba isaa hin luugamanne yoo jiraate inni of gowwoomsa; amantaan isaas faayidaa hin qabu.
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.
Amantaan Waaqa Abbaa keenya duratti qulqulluu taʼee fi kan mudaa hin qabne isa kana: kunis ijoollee abbaa fi haadha hin qabnee fi haadhota hiyyeessaa rakkina isaanii keessatti kunuunsuu fi xuraaʼummaa addunyaa irraa of eeggachuu dha.
