James 1
1 James, of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ a servant, to the Twelve Tribes who are in the dispersion: Hail!
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 count [it], my brethren, when ye may fall into temptations manifold;
Wachalal, chixkiꞌkotoq are kiriq sibꞌalaj kꞌi uwach kꞌaxkꞌolal.
3 knowing that the proof of your faith doth work endurance,
Iwetaꞌm chik chi are kape kꞌaxkꞌolal chiꞌwij kubꞌan chiꞌwe chi kixjeqiꞌk pa ri ikojobꞌal.
4 and let the endurance have a perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire — in nothing lacking;
Xuqujeꞌ ri jeqelem kubꞌano chi utz kibꞌan che ri chak rech qas ix tzꞌaqat xuqujeꞌ maj kajawataj chiꞌwe.
5 and if any of you do lack wisdom, let him ask from God, who is giving to all liberally, and not reproaching, and it shall be 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 and let him ask in faith, nothing doubting, for he who is doubting hath been like a wave of the sea, driven by wind and tossed,
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 for let not that man suppose that he shall receive anything from the Lord —
We kꞌo jun winaq jewaꞌ kubꞌano, marayeꞌj kukꞌamawaꞌj xa ta ne jun ujastaq che ri Dios.
8 a two-souled man [is] unstable in all his ways.
Jeriꞌ rumal man qas ta jeqel ukꞌuꞌx riꞌ pa ri kubꞌano.
9 And let the brother who is low rejoice in his exaltation,
Ri alaxik ri mebꞌa rajawaxik nim kunaꞌo rumal nim ubꞌanik.
10 and the rich in his becoming low, because as a flower of grass he shall pass away;
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 did rise with the burning heat, and did wither the grass, and the flower of it fell, and the grace of its appearance did perish, so also the rich in his way shall fade away!
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 Happy the man who doth endure temptation, because, becoming approved, he shall receive the crown of the life, which the Lord did promise to those loving 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 one say, being tempted — 'From God I am tempted,' for God is not tempted of evil, and Himself doth tempt no one,
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 and each one is tempted, by his own desires being led away and enticed,
Xane ri winaq kaqaj pa mak rumal kajurux bꞌik rumal ri itzel taq urayinik.
15 afterward the desire having conceived, doth give birth to sin, and the sin having been perfected, doth bring forth death.
Are kakꞌiy ri urayinik jun chubꞌanik mak, kalax ri makaj pa ranimaꞌ, ri makaj are kachapleꞌx ubꞌanik, kukꞌam loq kamikal.
16 Be not led astray, my brethren beloved;
Loqꞌalaj taq wachalal, ¡misubꞌ iwibꞌ!
17 every good giving, and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the lights, with whom is no variation, or shadow of turning;
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 having counselled, He did beget us with a word of truth, for our being a certain first-fruit 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 So then, my brethren beloved, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger,
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 a man the righteousness of God doth not work;
Rumal cher ri royawal ri winaq man kubꞌan taj chi kape ri urayibꞌal ukꞌuꞌx ri Dios.
21 wherefore having put aside all filthiness and superabundance of evil, in meekness be receiving the engrafted word, that 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 and become ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves,
Makakubꞌiꞌ ta ikꞌuꞌx xwi kita ri utzij ri Dios, riꞌ xaq kisubꞌ iwibꞌ xane rajawaxik kibꞌano ri kubꞌij ri utzij ri Dios.
23 because, if any one is a hearer of the word and not a doer, this one hath been like to a man viewing his natural 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 did view himself, and hath gone away, and immediately he did forget of what kind he was;
are kil taj ribꞌ chupam, kasachan che jas kabꞌantajik.
25 and he who did look into the perfect law — that of liberty, and did continue there, this one — not a forgetful hearer becoming, but a doer of work — this one shall be happy in his doing.
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 If any one doth think to be religious among you, not bridling his tongue, but deceiving his heart, of this one vain [is] the religion;
We kꞌo jun kubꞌij chi kojonel, man kuqꞌil ta kꞌut ribꞌ chubꞌixik etzelal, maj kutayij riꞌ ri kubꞌij.
27 religion pure and undefiled with the God and Father is this, to look after orphans and widows in their tribulation — unspotted to keep himself from the world.
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.
