James 1
1 [I], James, am a servant of God and the Lord Jesus Christ. [I am writing this letter] to [all] the Jewish people [who trust in Christ] (OR, to all God’s people) who are scattered throughout the world. [I send my] greetings to [you all].
Ahtu Jisu Kristo gv okv Pwknvyarnv gv pakbu akobv rinv, Jems lokv: Pwknvyarnv gv nyi bv rinvdonv nyiamooku mvnwng lo tolobolo bv doogodoyit karnv vdwa kumrwklvtaksinam gaam am jilwk dunv.
2 My fellow believers, rejoice greatly, [even] when you experience various kinds of difficulties/troubles.
Ngoogv ajin vdw, vdwlo nonugv lamtv lo nvgwng mvnwng gv hindwkkaku ngv aajvka um alv yanvbv mvngpu gvya tvlaka,
3 [God sometimes allows you to experience difficulties in order to] test whether or not you will continue to trust [him. Whenever that happens, you need to] realize more and more that [if you continue to trust him], you will be able to bravely/patiently endure difficulties.
Vkvlvgavbolo nonu chindu vdwlo nonugv mvngjwng namv jwngjwk dubv ritvrinyi vkvnv hindwkkaku namv doodu, kaakakunamv vv nonugv rilagvnv am paamu dunv.
4 Keep on enduring difficulties [bravely/patiently by trusting God more and more firmly] [PRS], in order that you may become all that he intends you to be [DOU] (OR, [spiritually] mature and complete), not lacking (any [good quality/anything you need to conduct your lives as God wants you to]).
Hinchingla rinamv nonugv lamtv mvnwng lo gimup momabv vnggvla ridubv mvrung dunv, vkvlvgavbolo hoka nonu rvbwngching laduku okv ripwngrinya laduku, oguguka achialin manamgo kaama laduku.
5 If anyone of you does not know how to act wisely [in order to endure difficulties/trials well], he should ask God [to show him what he should do, because] God wholeheartedly/gladly helps all people [who ask] and does not scold [anyone for asking. Those who ask], God will give them wisdom to know [what they should do].
Vbvritola nonu gvlo mvngkimvnglak madu bolo, Pwknvyarnvnyi kumrung tvlaka, hv nonua jire; ogulvgavbolo Pwknvyarnv jinwngnam dvdv nga okv mvnwng nga jinv ngv.
6 But [when you] ask [God], you should firmly trust him. You should not doubt [that he wants to help you always], because people who keep doubting God are [unstable/changeable] [SIM] like a wave of the sea that is blown back and forth by the wind {that goes back and forth when the wind blows} [DOU, SIM].
Vbvritola vdwlo nonu kumredw, nonu mvngjwng rungto laka okv ogumvnwng nga mvngngum dvdvla riyoka. Yvvdw mvngngum la ridudw hv svmasa lvralvpa lo doori mila oogv sibu nuunam aingbv ridunv.
7 Indeed, people [who doubt] should not think that the Lord [God] will do anything [that they request him to do],
Nonu oogv aingbv ridubolo, nonugv mvngrum aralo mvngla manv okv rinam dvdvlo mvngpi lakmanv, Ahtu gvlokv nonu oguguka paanvpv mvngla rungmare.
8 [because they are] people who cannot decide [whether they will commit themselves to God, and they are] unstable/undecided in everything that they do.
9 Believers who are poor should be happy [that God] considers them very valuable (OR, has exalted them [spiritually]) [MTY].
Heema bv rinv kristan vdwv vdwlo Pwknvyarnv heema lokv nyitv dukubv bunua laacha rekudw um mvngpu rungto laka,
10 And [believers] who are rich should be happy [that] they have humbled themselves [in order to trust in Jesus Christ] (OR, but rich people [can only] take pride [in the fact that God] will humble them [when he judges everyone] [IRO]), because they [and their riches] [MTY] will pass away, just like wild flowers [wither] [SIM].
okv nyitv bv rinv kristan vdwv vdwlo Pwknvyarnv heema dubv bunua laalu rikudw vvka mvngpu rungto laka. Vkvlvgavbolo nyitv vdwv mootum apung gv siriuriua nam aingbv riri nvpv.
11 When the sun rises, the scorching hot wind dries plants, and their flowers fall and are no longer beautiful. Similarly, rich people will die [MET] while they are busy working, [leaving behind their riches].
Doonyi gv chaatarchanya ikunyi agurusok lakula okv nvsinnvmwng nga sinsuk mola kaayuk duku; ho apung ngv hoolahuaa duku, okv vkvgv kaapu vka nyeduku. Oogv aingbv bunu korvpachu rikwng jvka nyitv ngv nyenam bv nyereku.
12 [God] is pleased with people who bravely/patiently endure difficulties. And when, [by bravely enduring difficulties], they have proved [that they truly trust him], he will give them [eternal] life. That is the reward [MET] that he has promised to give to those who love him.
Hindwkkaku nga hinjeka yvvdw mvngjwng nga vngdwng bv vvpvla ridunv hv himpu am paare, vkvlvgavbolo vdwlo bunu vkvnv rikwhingkw namv vngbo rikudw, Pwknvyarnv gv paknam vdwa jidubv vla milvpvvnam oogv turnam amin am bunugv paasvnga bunu paareku.
13 If people are tempted to do something that is evil, they should not think that it is God who is tempting them, because [God is totally/completely good]. He never tempts anyone [to do what is evil], nor can he ever be tempted to [do anything] evil.
Ngonu svkvnv pokayarka namgo aajvka, “si Pwknvyarnv gvlo aadunv vla mirung mabvka.” Vkvlvgavbolo Pwknvyarnv alvmanv lokv pokayarka madunv, okv nw awv yvvnyika pokayarka madunv.
14 But people strongly desire to do evil [PRS] things, [and as a result] they are tempted by those desires {those desires stimulate them} to do something evil [PRS, DOU].
Vbvritola ngonua pokayarka la ridunam si vdwlo ngonu mvngjimvngrio la okv atubogv alvmanv mvngnam lokv kuplwksudu.
15 Then, [because] they have desired [MET] to do evil [PRS] things, they begin to [MET] do [PRS] them. And when they have become ones who [habitually] do what is evil [MET], [if they do not turn away from their sinful behavior], they will be separated from God forever.
Vbvrinamv ngonugv alvmanv mvngjimvngro nama gvvbum pvvku lokv okv rimur am kuu bv bvnglin duku; okv rimure, vdwlo akomaring rikudw, vv sinam bv bvngdu kunv.
16 My fellow believers whom I love, stop deceiving yourselves, [thinking that God does evil things].
Ngoogv ajin vdwv, Kupku yoka!
17 [The truth is that God], our heavenly Father [MTY], does only good [DOU] things [for us, in order to help us become] all that he intends us to be. He is not like all the things [in the sky] that he created to give light, [because they] change; [that is, they do not shine the same all the time]. But God never changes. [He is always good].
Alvnv amin dvdv ngv okv ogumvnwng vjvgv rilak rikunamv nyidomooku lokv aadunv; vv Pwknvyarnv gv lokv aadunv, nyidomooku gv ungbiatata gvnv nga Pwklinyarlinnv ngv, oogv vdwloka akupav manv vmajvka kanv kaamanv.
18 [And because] he wanted [to help us], he gave us [spiritual] life as a result of our [trusting in his] true message. So now we have become the first ones of [all the people] [MET] that he created [to] ([be totally dedicated to/completely belong to]) [him].
Vkvlvgavbolo ninyigv pwknamyarnam dvdvlo ngonuv atuake lo doocho modukubv vla, ninyigv awgv mvngnam lokv ngv vkvgv jvjvrungnv gaam lokv ngonua laalwk toku.
19 My fellow believers whom I love, you know (OR, I want you to now) that every one of you should be eager to pay attention to [God’s true message]. Don’t speak [without thinking], nor get angry easily,
Ngoogv ayanam ajin vdwv, sum mvnggap tvlaka! nyi mvnwng ngv nonu baapu alvbv tvvgap rungto laka, vbvritola gaam minam am tapv bv minto laka okv dokchachaba nvgobv riyoka.
20 because when any one [of you gets] angry, you will not be doing the righteous things that God [wants] you [to do].
Nyia haachi gv sakcha namv Pwknvyarnv gv darwkchongjor mvngdung nga paama dunv.
21 So stop doing all kinds of evil [DOU] things, and humbly obey (OR, submit to) the message that [God] put in your (inner beings/hearts), [because] he is able to save you [SYN] [if you accept his message].
Vkvlvgabv ogumvnwng gv kasingkanyak okv alvmanv rigvdogvnam dvdv nga um kayu tvkuka. Oogv nonua ringlin lajikunv, Pwknvyarnv gvlo laklwk sutoka okv nonugv haapok lo vkvgv gamchar jilwk nama laarwk suto laka.
22 Do [what God commands in] his message. Do not only listen [to it, because people who only listen to it and do not obey it] are wrong when they think [that God will save them].
Nonuno ninyigv gamchar am tvvnv mvngchik gobv ridula atu nvnga kupsu yoka; vbvmayabv gamchar yanga tvvla rinvdagnv gobv rito laka.
23 Some people hear God’s message but do not do [what it says] [MET]. They are like someone who looks at his face in a mirror [SIM].
Nonu gamchar am tvvnvgobv ridula, vbvritola rinvdaknv gobv rima dubolo nonuno vkvnv nyi aingbv ridu oogv tumuyalu lo awv nyukmu am bunu atubogv oguaingbv ripvdw kaasu mvngchik sunam aingbv ridu.
24 Although he looks at himself, he goes away [from the mirror] and immediately forgets what he looks like.
Bunu atubogv aw am lvkingo alvjvbv kaasu pikula okv vngreku okv vjakpiak bv bunugv aw kaasu nama oguaingbv ripvdw um mvngpa sukumare.
25 But other people look closely at [God’s] message, which is perfect and which sets people free [to voluntarily do what God wants them to do]. And if they continue [to examine God’s message] and do not just hear it and then forget it, but do [what God tells them to do], God will bless them because of what they do.
Vbvritola oogv nyi am ajarabi bv rimu kujinv Pvbv rvbwngchingnv um alvjvbv kaanvk chikvk la, okv alvjvbv tvvgap la okv tvvnam mvngchik bv tvvmabv okv vbv mvngpa mabv rimabv okv vbvritola rinvdaknv gobv ribolo—nonuno ogugo ridudw Pwknvyarnv nonua boktalwkjire.
26 Some people think that they worship God in the right way, but they habitually say evil things [MTY]. Those people are wrong in thinking [SYN] [that they worship God rightly]. The fact is [that they] worship God (in vain/uselessly).
Nonu yvvla mvngdunv nonuno dormo ridunv? Nonugv riu am laatung sima dubolo, nonugv dormo rinamv anyung kaama nvbv ridu okv nonuno atubonga kupsu dunv.
27 [One of the things that God has told us to do] is to take care of orphans and widows who suffer hardship. [Those who do that and] who do not think or act immorally like those who do not obey God [MTY] truly [DOU] worship God, [who is our] Father, and God approves of them.
