James 1
1 James, a servant, of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, —unto the twelve tribes that are in the dispersion, Wishes joy.
Ni Santiago, nga adipen ti Dios ken ti Apo a ni Jesu-Cristo, kadagiti sangapulo ket dua a tribu iti Pannakaiwara-wara, kablaaw.
2 All Joy, account it, my brethren, whensoever ye fall in with, manifold, temptations, —
Ibilangyo amin a rag-o, kakabsatko, no makapadaskayo iti nadumaduma a pakariribukan,
3 Taking note, that, the proving of your faith, worketh out endurance;
nga ammoyo a iti pannakasuot ti pammatiyo ket mangpataud iti panagibtur.
4 But let, your endurance, have, mature work, that ye may be mature and complete, in nothing, coming short.
Palubosanyo a leppasen ti panagibtur ti trabahona, tapno agbalinkayo koma a naan-anay a nataengan, nga awan pagkuranganna.
5 But, if any of you is sinning short of wisdom, let him be asking of God, Who giveth unto all freely and upbraideth not, and it shall be given 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 be asking in faith, nothing, doubting, for, he that doubteth, is like a wave of the sea, wind-driven and storm-tossed, —
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 not that man think that he shall receive anything from the Lord—
Ta masapul a saan a panunoten dayta a tao a maawatnanto ti kiddawna iti Apo;
8 A two-souled man, unstable in all his ways.
ti kasta a tao ket agduadua ti panunotna, saan a natalna kadagiti amin a wagasna.
9 But boasting be the lowly brother in his uplifting;
Ti nakurapay a kabsat ket agrag-o koma iti nangato a kasasaadna,
10 Whereas the rich, in his being brought low, —because, as a flower of 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 hath sprung up, with it scorching heat, and hath withered the grass, and, the flower thereof, hath fallen out, and, the beauty of the face thereof, hath perished, —so, also the rich, in his goings, shall languish.
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 Happy the man who endureth temptation! Because, becoming approved, he shall receive the crown of life—which he hath promised unto them that 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, while tempted, be saying—From God, am I tempted, —for, God, cannot be tempted by things evil, and, himself, tempteth 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, by his own coveting, he is drawn out 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 coveting, having conceived, giveth birth to sin, and, the sin, when full-grown, bringeth 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 Be not deceived, my brethren beloved: —
Saankayo a paallilaw, ay-ayatek a kakabsat.
17 Every good giving, and every perfect gift, is, from above, coming down from the Father of lights—with whom is no alternation, nor shadow cast, by turning:
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 Because he was so minded, he hath brought us forth with a word of truth, to the end we should be a sort of firstfruit 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 Ye know, my brethren beloved, —but let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, 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, man’s anger, worketh not, God’s righteousness.
ta ti unget ti tao ket saanna a tungpalen ti kinalinteg iti Dios.
21 Wherefore, putting away all filthiness and overflow of baseness, in meekness, welcome ye the word fitted for inward growth, 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 Become ye doers of the word, and not hearers only—reasoning yourselves astray;
Agtulnogkayo iti sao, saanyo laeng a denggen daytoy, nga al-allilawenyo dagiti bukodyo a bagi.
23 Because, if any is, a word-hearer, and not a doer, the same, is like unto a man observing 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 observed himself, and is gone away, and, straightway, it hath escaped him, —what manner of man, he was!
Kitkitaenna ti rupana, ken pumanaw ket malipatanna a dagus ti langana.
25 But, he that hath obtained a nearer view into the perfect law of liberty, and hath taken up his abode by it, becoming—not a forgetful hearer, but a work doer, the same, happy in his doing, shall be.
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 any thinketh he is observant of religion, not curbing his own tongue, but deceiving his own heart, this one’s, religious observance is, vain:
No panunoten ti siasinoman a relihioso isuna, ngem saanna a tengngelen ti dilana, al-allilawenna ti pusona ken awan serbi ti relihionna.
27 Religious observance, pure and undefiled with our God and Father, is, this—to be visiting orphans and widows in their affliction, unspotted, to keep, himself, from 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.
