James 1
1 JAKUB, a servant of Aloha and of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha, unto the twelve tribes who are dispersed among the nations: Peace.
In in Santiago, patanil re ri Dios xuqujeꞌ rech ri Ajawxel Jesucristo. Kintaq rutzil kiwach konojel ri e kabꞌlajuj puq winaq aꞌj Israel ri e tukininaq choch ri uwachulew.
2 All joy shall be to you, my brethren, when you shall have entered into temptations many and various.
Wachalal, chixkiꞌkotoq are kiriq sibꞌalaj kꞌi uwach kꞌaxkꞌolal.
3 For you know that the proving of faith maketh you to possess patience;
Iwetaꞌm chik chi are kape kꞌaxkꞌolal chiꞌwij kubꞌan chiꞌwe chi kixjeqiꞌk pa ri ikojobꞌal.
4 but to patience let there be a perfect work, that you may be complete and perfected, and in nothing be deficient.
Xuqujeꞌ ri jeqelem kubꞌano chi utz kibꞌan che ri chak rech qas ix tzꞌaqat xuqujeꞌ maj kajawataj chiꞌwe.
5 If any of you be deficient in wisdom, let him ask of Aloha, who giveth to all expansively, and upbraideth not, and it is given to him.
We kꞌo jun chiꞌwe ri man kꞌo ta retaꞌmabꞌal, chuta che ri Dios. Ri Areꞌ kuya na chiꞌwe. Man kixuyaj taj we kita che.
6 But let him ask in faith, not wavering. For he who wavereth is like the waves of the sea which the wind disturbeth.
Chitaꞌ rukꞌ kojobꞌal, man kakabꞌalaj ta ikꞌuꞌx are kito rumal cher ri winaq ri kakabꞌalaj ukꞌuꞌx kajunumataj rukꞌ ri jaꞌ ri kꞌo pa ri plo xaq kasalabꞌax wi rumal ri kyaqiqꞌ.
7 And let not that man expect to receive any thing from the Lord,
We kꞌo jun winaq jewaꞌ kubꞌano, marayeꞌj kukꞌamawaꞌj xa ta ne jun ujastaq che ri Dios.
8 who is divided in his mind, and disturbed in all his ways.
Jeriꞌ rumal man qas ta jeqel ukꞌuꞌx riꞌ pa ri kubꞌano.
9 But let the humble brother glory in his exaltation,
Ri alaxik ri mebꞌa rajawaxik nim kunaꞌo rumal nim ubꞌanik.
10 and the rich in his humility; for as the flower of an herb, so he passeth.
Xuqujeꞌ ri alaxik ri qꞌinom rajawaxik kumochꞌ ribꞌ rumal ri ubꞌanik. Ri qꞌinom winaq kajunumataj rukꞌ ri kotzꞌiꞌj ri kakꞌiy cho ri saq, xaq sachel uwach.
11 For the sun ariseth in his heat, and drieth the herb, and the flower of it falleth, and the beauty of its appearance perisheth; so also the rich withereth in his reverses.
Are kel loq ri qꞌij rukꞌ ri ukꞌatanal kuchaqiꞌjarisaj ri qꞌayes. Katzaq ri ukotzꞌiꞌjal, man jeꞌl ta chik kakaꞌyik. Jeriꞌ kakꞌulmataj na rukꞌ ri qꞌinom xuqujeꞌ ri uqꞌinomal.
12 Blessed the man who endureth temptations: for when he hath been proved he shall receive the crown of life, which Aloha hath promised unto them who love him.
Utz rech ri winaq ri man katzaq taj pa mak, rumal cher are kayaꞌtaj na che ri korona ri utzujum ri Dios chike ri kakiloqꞌaj ri ubꞌiꞌ.
13 Let no man say, when he is tempted, From Aloha I am tempted; for Aloha is not tempted with evils, and he no man tempteth.
Mubꞌij jun are kataqchix pa mak chi are ri Dios xintaqchiꞌnik, rumal cher ri Dios man kataqchiꞌx taj pa mak xuqujeꞌ makutaqchiꞌj ta chi jun pa mak.
14 But each man from his concupiscence tempteth himself, and desireth, and is drawn away.
Xane ri winaq kaqaj pa mak rumal kajurux bꞌik rumal ri itzel taq urayinik.
15 And this desire conceiveth and beareth sin; and sin, when it is perfected, beareth death.
Are kakꞌiy ri urayinik jun chubꞌanik mak, kalax ri makaj pa ranimaꞌ, ri makaj are kachapleꞌx ubꞌanik, kukꞌam loq kamikal.
16 Do not err, my beloved brethren;
Loqꞌalaj taq wachalal, ¡misubꞌ iwibꞌ!
17 every good gift and perfect from above descendeth, from the Father of lights, with whom is no alteration, nor the shadow of vicissitude.
Ronojel ri utz xuqujeꞌ tzꞌaqatalaj sipanik chikaj kape wi, rukꞌ ri Tataxel ri xtikowik ri qꞌij xuqujeꞌ ri ikꞌ xuqujeꞌ ronojel ri chꞌumil ri kaqilo xuqujeꞌ man kaqil taj. Ri Dios man kakꞌexetaj ta wi man kajunumataj ta rukꞌ ri muꞌj ri xa kakꞌexenik.
18 He willed, and begat us by the word of truth, that we might be the first-ones of his creatures.
Xa rumal ri urayinik ri Dios xubꞌan chaqe xujalaxik chik junmul rumal ri tzij rech qas tzij, rech je kujuxik ri tikoꞌn ri qas kꞌo kutayij.
19 And you, my beloved brethren, let every one of you be swift to hear, and slow to speak, and slow to be angry;
Loqꞌalaj taq wachalal, naꞌtaj we riꞌ chiꞌwe: Rajawaxik ix sakꞌaj chutayik ri kabꞌix chiꞌwe, xuqujeꞌ man aninaq taj kitzalij uwach xane qas chichomaj na jas ri kibꞌij, xuqujeꞌ man aninaq taj kayakataj iwoyawal.
20 for the wrath of man the righteousness of Aloha worketh not.
Rumal cher ri royawal ri winaq man kubꞌan taj chi kape ri urayibꞌal ukꞌuꞌx ri Dios.
21 Wherefore, remove from you all impurity and the abounding of wickedness, and with meekness receive the word which is engrafted in our nature, which is able to save your souls.
Rumal kꞌu waꞌ chitzaqa kanoq ronojel makaj xuqujeꞌ etzelal ri sibꞌalaj nim kꞌo choch ri uwachulew, rech kixkwinik kikꞌamawaꞌj rukꞌ mochꞌochꞌem ri tzij ri xtik pa iwanimaꞌ, ri tzij riꞌ kakwinik kixukolo.
22 BUT be doers of the word, and not hearers only, neither deceive yourselves.
Makakubꞌiꞌ ta ikꞌuꞌx xwi kita ri utzij ri Dios, riꞌ xaq kisubꞌ iwibꞌ xane rajawaxik kibꞌano ri kubꞌij ri utzij ri Dios.
23 For if a man be a hearer of the word and not a doer of it, this (man) is like one who vieweth his face in a mirror;
Ri winaq ri xaq xwi xutatabꞌej ri utzij ri Dios man kuchakubꞌej taj, kajunumataj rukꞌ ri winaq ri karil ribꞌ pa jun kaꞌyebꞌal,
24 for he seeth himself and passeth, and hath forgotten what (manner of person) he was.
are kil taj ribꞌ chupam, kasachan che jas kabꞌantajik.
25 But every one who looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he is not a hearer of the hearing of forgetfulness, but a doer of works; and this shall be blessed in his work.
Ri kajeqiꞌk pa ri sukꞌ taqanik ri kuya kiritajem xuqujeꞌ kuchap ukꞌuꞌx kakꞌojiꞌ chupam, man kasachan taj che ri xutatabꞌej, kukꞌamawaꞌj na ri tewechibꞌal are kuchakubꞌej ri tzij.
26 And if a man thinketh that he serveth Aloha, and holdeth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, of this man his service is vain.
We kꞌo jun kubꞌij chi kojonel, man kuqꞌil ta kꞌut ribꞌ chubꞌixik etzelal, maj kutayij riꞌ ri kubꞌij.
27 For the service which is pure and true before Aloha the Father, is this, to visit the orphans and widows in their afflictions, and that a man keep himself from the world without blemish.
Ri utz laj kojonem ri man chꞌuluj taj choch ri Dios ri Tataxel, are kichajixik ri e maj kitat kinan xuqujeꞌ ri e malkaꞌn taq ixoqibꞌ, xuqujeꞌ tasoj ibꞌ che ri etzelal rech ri uwachulew.
