James 1
1 James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are of the Dispersion, greeting.
Yaaqoob garbicha Waaqaatii fi kan Yesuus Kiristoos Gooftichaa irraa, Gara gosoota kudha lamaan bibittinnaaʼaniitti: Nagaan isiniif haa taʼu.
2 Count it all joy, my brethren, when ye fall into manifold temptations;
Yaa obboloota ko, yommuu qorumsi adda addaa isin irra gaʼutti akka gammachuu guutuutti fudhadhaa;
3 Knowing that the proof of your faith worketh patience.
amantiin keessan qoramuun isaa akka obsa isiniif argamsiisu beektuutii.
4 And let patience have [its] perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, lacking in nothing.
Akka isin bilchaatoo fi guutuu, warra hirʼina tokko iyyuu hin qabne taataniif obsi hojii isaa haa raawwatu.
5 But if any of you lacketh wisdom, let him ask of God, who giveth to all liberally and upbraideth not; and it shall 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 the surge 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 of the Lord;
Namni sun waan tokko illee Gooftaa biraa nan argadha jedhee hin eeggatin;
8 a doubleminded man, unstable in all his ways.
inni nama yaada lamaa ti; iddoo tokkos hin dhaabatu.
9 But let the brother of low degree glory in his high estate:
Obboleessi gad qabame ol qabamuu isaatiin of haa jaju.
10 and the rich, in that he is made low: because as the flower of the grass he shall pass away.
Sooressi garuu gad qabamuu isaatti of haa jaju; inni akkuma daraaraa margaa ni harcaʼaatii.
11 For the sun ariseth with the scorching wind, and withereth the grass; and the flower thereof falleth, and the grace of the fashion of it perisheth: so also shall the rich man fade away in his goings.
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 hath been approved, he shall receive the crown of life, which [the Lord] 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 man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, and he himself tempteth no man:
Namni kam iyyuu yommuu qoramutti, “Waaqatu na qoraa jira” hin jedhin. Waaqni hamaadhaan hin qoramuutii; innis nama tokko illee hin qoru;
14 but each man is tempted, when he is drawn away by his own lust, and enticed.
tokkoon tokkoon namaa garuu yommuu hawwii ofii isaa hamaa sanaan harkifamee gowwoomfamutti qorama.
15 Then the lust, when it hath conceived, beareth sin: and the sin, when it is fullgrown, bringeth forth death.
Hawwiinis yommuu ulfooftetti cubbuu dhalti; cubbuun immoo yommuu guutumaan guutuutti guddattetti duʼa dhalti.
16 Be not deceived, my beloved brethren.
Yaa obboloota koo jaallatamoo, hin dogoggorinaa.
17 Every good gift and every perfect boon is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom can be no variation, neither shadow that is cast by 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 brought us forth by the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures.
Innis akka nu uumama isaa hundumaaf gosa hangafa taanuuf akkuma fedhii isaatti dubbii dhugaatiin nu dhalche.
19 Ye know [this], my beloved brethren. But 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 putting away all filthiness and overflowing of wickedness, 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 ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deluding your own selves.
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 unto a man beholding his natural face in a mirror:
Namni dubbicha dhagaʼee hojii irra hin oolchine kam iyyuu nama of-ilaalee keessatti fuula isaa ilaallatu fakkaata;
24 for he beholdeth himself, and goeth away, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was.
innis erga of ilaalee booddee ni deema; yommusuma maal akka fakkaatu ni irraanfata.
25 But he that looketh into the perfect law, the [law] of liberty, and [so] continueth, being not a hearer that forgetteth, but a doer that worketh, this man shall be blessed in his doing.
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 man thinketh himself to be religious, while he bridleth not his tongue but deceiveth his 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 our God and Father is this, to visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, [and] to keep himself 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.
