James 2
1 My fellow believers, [because] you trust our Lord Jesus Christ, the one who is glorious/wonderful, stop honoring some people more than others.
| ئەی خوشکان و برایانم، ئێمەی باوەڕداران بە عیسای مەسیحی خاوەن شکۆمان، نابێت جیاکاری لەنێوان خەڵکی بکەین. |
2 [For example], suppose that a person who wears gold rings and fine clothes enters your meeting place. Then suppose that a poor person who wears shabby/ragged clothes also comes in.
| ئەگەر پیاوێک هاتە ناو کۆڕەکەتان، ئەنگوستیلەی زێڕی لە پەنجە بوو و بەرگی نایاب بوو، هەروەها هەژارێکیش بە بەرگی پیس، |
3 And [suppose] that you (show special attention to/treat better) the one who is dressed in fine clothes by saying, “Sit here in this good seat!” and you say to the poor one, “Stand there or sit on the floor [MTY]!”
| تەماشای بەرگە نایابەکەتان کرد و گوتتان: «لێرە دانیشە باشە،» بە هەژارەکەش بڵێن: «لەوێ ڕابوەستە» یان «لەبەرپێم دانیشە،» |
4 Then you have obviously [RHQ] caused divisions in the congregation (OR, you are clearly treating one better than the others, and you are using evil [motives/reasons] to ([evaluate people/decide whether people are important or not])).
| ئایا لەنێوان خۆتاندا جیاکاری ناکەن و بە بیری خراپ حوکم بەسەر یەکدا نادەن؟ |
5 Listen [to me], my fellow believers whom I love: God has chosen [RHQ] poor people whom [unbelievers consider to] possess nothing of value, [so that he might bless them] greatly [because] they trust [in him], and in order that they will enter the place where [he] will rule [MET] [forever]. That is what he has promised to those who love him.
| خوشک و برا خۆشەویستەکانم، گوێ بگرن: ئایا خودا هەژارانی ئەم جیهانەی هەڵنەبژاردووە تاکو لە باوەڕ دەوڵەمەند بن و میراتگری شانشین بن، کە بەڵێنی داوە بیدات بەوانەی خۆشیان دەوێت؟ |
6 But you dishonor the poor people. Think about it! (It is rich people, [not poor people], who are causing you to suffer!/Isn’t it rich people, [not poor people], who are oppressing you?) [RHQ] (It is [the rich people] who forcibly take you to court [to accuse you in front of judges]!/Is it not [the rich people] who forcibly take you to court [to accuse you in front of judges]?) [RHQ]
| بەڵام ئێوە سووکایەتیتان بە هەژارەکە کرد. ئایا دەوڵەمەندەکان نین خۆیان بەسەرتاندا دەسەپێنن و ڕاپێچی دادگاکانتان دەکەن؟ |
7 (And they are the ones who say evil things about Jesus Christ, the one who is worthy [of praise], to whom you belong!/Are they not the ones who say evil things about Jesus Christ, the one who is worthy [of praise], to whom you belong?) [RHQ]
| ئایا ئەوان نین کفر بەو ناوە چاکە دەکەن کە پێی بانگکراون؟ |
8 In the Scriptures [God has commanded] each of you to love other people like you love yourself. That commandment was [also given] by [Jesus our] King [MTY]. If you [are loving others], you are doing what is right.
| ئەگەر بەڕاستی شەریعەتی شاهانەتان هێناوەتە دی کە بەگوێرەی نووسراوە پیرۆزەکە دەڵێ: [نزیکەکەت وەک خۆت خۆشبوێت،] چاک دەکەن. |
9 But if you honor some people more than others, you are (doing wrong/sinning). And because you [do not do what God commanded us to do], he condemns you [PRS] because you disobey his laws.
| بەڵام ئەگەر جیاکاری بکەن، ئەوا گوناه دەکەن و وەک سەرپێچیکار لەلایەن شەریعەتەوە سەرزەنشت دەکرێن، |
10 Do not forget that those who disobey only one of God’s laws, even if they obey all [his other] laws, [God considers them] to be [as guilty as anyone who has disobeyed] all [of] God’s [laws].
| چونکە ئەوەی هەموو شەریعەت بەجێبهێنێت، بەڵام تەنها بەندێکی بشکێنێت، ئەوا لە هەمووی تاوانبارە. |
11 For example, [God] said, “Do not commit adultery,” but he also said, “Do not murder anyone.” [So] if you [(sg)] do not commit adultery but you [(sg)] murder someone, you [(sg)] have become a person who disobeys [God’s] laws.
| ئەوەی فەرموویەتی: [داوێنپیسی مەکە،] هەروەها فەرمووشیەتی: [مەکوژە.] ئەگەر داوێنپیسیت نەکرد بەڵام یەکێکت کوشت، ئەوا سەرپێچی شەریعەتت کردووە. |
12 Continually speak and act [toward others] as people should who will be judged {whom [God] will judge} by the law that frees us [from being punished] {[God punishing us]} [for our sins].
| ئاوا بدوێن و ئاوا کار بکەن، وەک ئەوەی بە شەریعەتی ئازادی حوکم بدرێن، |
13 [Speak and act like that], because when [God] judges us, he will not act mercifully toward those who do not act mercifully toward others. But when we [are] merciful [to others, we can rejoice], because [our being] merciful [shows] that [we are acting like people whom God] has mercifully saved from being judged (OR, [we can rejoice] because [God] will judge us mercifully).
| چونکە حوکمدان بێ بەزەییانەیە بۆ ئەو کەسەی کە بێ بەزەیی بووە، بەڵام بەزەیی بەسەر حوکمداندا سەردەکەوێت. |
14 My fellow believers, [there are some people who say], “I believe [in the Lord Jesus Christ],” but they do not do good things [for other people]. (Their saying that will certainly not do them any good!/What good will their saying that do for them?) [RHQ] [God] will certainly not save [people like that who say that they believe, but do not do good things]! [RHQ]
| خوشکان و برایانم، چ سوودێکی هەیە ئەگەر یەکێک بڵێت باوەڕم هەیە، بەڵام کرداری نەبێت؟ ئایا ئەم جۆرە باوەڕە دەتوانێت ڕزگاری بکات؟ |
15 [To illustrate], suppose that fellow believers, either men or women, don’t have enough clothing or food for each day.
| ئەگەر خوشک یان برایەک پێویستی بە جلوبەرگ و خواردنی ڕۆژانە هەبوو، |
16 And suppose that one of you says to them, “May [God] bless you and supply the clothing and food that you need!” but you [(sg)] do not give them the things that they need. (That would be no help [to them]!/What help is that [to them]?) [RHQ]
| یەکێکتان پێتان گوتن: «بەخێر بچن، جلی گەرم لەبەر بکەن، تێر بخۆن،» و پێداویستییەکانی ژیانیان نەدەنێ، چ سوودێکی هەیە؟ |
17 Similarly, [those who do] not do good things [to help others, what they have said about] their believing [in Christ] is [as useless] [MET] [as] a dead person [is useless]. They do not [really believe in Christ].
| بەم شێوەیەش، باوەڕ ئەگەر کرداری نەبێت، لە خۆیدا مردووە. |
18 But someone may say [to me], “[God saves] some people only [because] they trust [in him], and [he saves] others [because] they do good deeds [to people].” [I would answer that person], “[You(sg) cannot] prove to me that people truly trust [in God if] they do not do good things [for others]. But by doing good things [for others] I will prove to you that I truly trust [in God”]
| لەوانەیە کەسێک بڵێ: «تۆ باوەڕت هەیە و من کردار.» نیشانم بدە باوەڕت چۆن بێ کردار دەبێت، ئەوسا منیش بە کردارەکانم نیشانت دەدەم باوەڕم چۆنە. |
19 [Think about it]! You believe that there is only one God, and you are right [to believe that]. But the demons also believe that, but they tremble [with fear because they know that God is going to punish them].
| تۆ باوەڕت هەیە کە یەک خودا هەیە، چاک دەکەیت. تەنانەت ڕۆحە پیسەکانیش باوەڕ دەکەن و دەلەرزن. |
20 Also, you foolish person, I will [RHQ] prove to you [(sg)] that [if someone says], “I trust [in God],” but he does not do good things, [what that person says] will not benefit him.
| ئەی مرۆڤی گێل، دەتەوێت بزانیت کە باوەڕ بێ کردار نەزۆکە؟ |
21 (It was certainly [because of] what our [revered] ancestor Abraham did, when he [prepared to] sacrifice his son Isaac, that he was considered [by God] {that [God] considered him} to be a righteous, [obedient] person./Was it not [because of] what our [revered] ancestor Abraham did, when he [prepared to] sacrifice his son Isaac, that he was considered [by God] {that [God] considered him} to be a righteous, [obedient] person?) [RHQ]
| ئایا ئیبراهیمی باوکمان بە کردار بێتاوان نەکرا، کاتێک لەسەر قوربانگا ئیسحاقی کوڕی پێشکەش کرد؟ |
22 You [(sg)] can realize that he was not only trusting [in God], but he was also doing [what God told him to do], and [you(sg) can realize] that he was able to trust [in God more] completely because of having done [what God told him to do].
| دەبینیت باوەڕ بە کردارەکەی لە کاردا بوو، باوەڕەکەش بە کردار تەواو بوو. |
23 And [so it happened as it is written in the] Scriptures: “Because Abraham truly trusted in God, he was considered [by God] to be {[God] considered that he was} righteous.” And [God also] said [about Abraham], “He is my friend.”
| نووسراوە پیرۆزەکەش هاتە دی کە دەفەرموێ: [ئیبراهیم باوەڕی بە خودا هێنا و ئەمەشی بە ڕاستودروستی بۆ دانرا،] هەروەها ناوی لێنرا دۆستی خودا. |
24 [From the example of Abraham], you can realize that it is because people do good things that [God] considers them to be righteous, and not only because they trust [in him].
| دەبینن کە مرۆڤ بە کردار بێتاوان دەبێت نەک تەنها بە باوەڕ. |
25 Similarly, it was certainly [RHQ] [because of] what Rahab did, that [God] considered her to be a righteous, [obedient] person. Rahab was [previously] a prostitute, but she cared for the Israelite men who came [to] ([spy out the land/see what that area was like]) and she [helped them to escape by] sending them home on a different road [from the one that they came on].
| بەم شێوەیە ڕاحابی لەشفرۆش، ئایا بە کردار بێتاوان نەبوو، کە پێشوازی لە سیخوڕەکان کرد و بە ڕێگایەکی دیکەدا بەڕێی کردن؟ |
26 Remember that when our spirits [permanently leave our] bodies, [our bodies] are dead [and useless]. Similarly [SIM], [if someone says], “I trust [in God],” but does not do [things to help others, what that person says about trusting in God] is useless.
| هەروەک چۆن جەستە بێ ڕۆح مردووە، باوەڕیش بێ کردار مردووە. |
