James 2
1 My brethren, hold not, in respect of persons, the faith of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ,
Ri ko, komail pojon atail Kaun Iejuj Kriituj en linan er lipiliki aramaj amen.
2 for if there may come into your synagogue a man with gold ring, in gay raiment, and there may come in also a poor man in vile raiment,
Pwe ma ol amen pan ian omail jaraui, me kapwateki rin kold likau linan, o pil jamama amen, me a tuken likau o jakanekan pedelon,
3 and ye may look upon him bearing the gay raiment, and may say to him, 'Thou — sit thou here well,' and to the poor man may say, 'Thou — stand thou there, or, Sit thou here under my footstool,' —
A ma komail pan kilekilan me mi nan likau linan, o komail pan indan i: Re kotido kaipokedi met, waja mau, ap indan me jamama: Koe en uda mo, de met impan utipa!
4 ye did not judge fully in yourselves, and did become ill-reasoning judges.
Iaduen komail lipilipil nan pun omail, o komail wiala jaunkapun kan ni omail lamalam jued?
5 Hearken, my brethren beloved, did not God choose the poor of this world, rich in faith, and heirs of the reign that He promised to those loving Him?
Ri ai kompok kan, komail ron! Kot jota kotin pilada me jamama nan jappa et, me kapwapwaki pojon, o me pan jojoki wei, me a kotin inauki on irail, me pok on i?
6 and ye did dishonour the poor one; do not the rich oppress you and themselves draw you to judgment-seats;
A komail mamaleki me jamama o. Kaidin me kapwapwa kan kin wia jued on komail o panalan komail mol en kadeik kan?
7 do they not themselves speak evil of the good name that was called upon you?
Irail jota kin lalaue mar ijou, me komail maranekier?
8 If, indeed, royal law ye complete, according to the Writing, 'Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself,' — ye do well;
Ma komail kapwaiada kapun ijou duen majan o: Koe en pok on men imp om dueta pein uk, nan komail wia me mau.
9 and if ye accept persons, sin ye do work, being convicted by the law as transgressors;
A ma komail pan lipilipiliki aramaj, komail kin wia dip, o kapun pan kadiarok on komail, me komail me dipan.
10 for whoever the whole law shall keep, and shall stumble in one [point], he hath become guilty of all;
Pwe meamen kapwaiada kapun pon, ap kawela kujoned eu, nan i me tiakedi karoj.
11 for He who is saying, 'Thou mayest not commit adultery,' said also, 'Thou mayest do no murder;' and if thou shalt not commit adultery, and shalt commit murder, thou hast become a transgressor of law;
Pwe me kotin majanier: Koe der kamal, i me pil majanier: Koe der kamela aramaj! Ari, ma koe jota kamal, a ma koe kamela aramaj, nan koe me tiakedier kapun o.
12 so speak ye and so do, as about by a law of liberty to be judged,
Komail ari lokaia o wiawia duen irail, me pan pakadeikada ren kapun en kamaio.
13 for the judgment without kindness [is] to him not having done kindness, and exult doth kindness over judgment.
A me jota kin kadek, pan lodi on kadeik apwal, a me kadek, kin juaiki kadeik o.
14 What [is] the profit, my brethren, if faith, any one may speak of having, and works he may not have? is that faith able to save him?
Ri ai ko, da katepan aramaj amen, me pan inda, me a pojon mia, ap jota a wiawia mau kan? Iaduen pojon pan kak dorela i?
15 and if a brother or sister may be naked, and may be destitute of the daily food,
Ma ri atail ol de li amen mia, me jolar a likau, o jolar kan ar kijin mana kaukaule,
16 and any one of you may say to them, 'Depart ye in peace, be warmed, and be filled,' and may not give to them the things needful for the body, what [is] the profit?
A ma amen komail pan indan i: Kola popol raneran o manamana! Ap jota, me komail pan ki on i, me mau on pali war a, da katepa?
17 so also the faith, if it may not have works, is dead by itself.
Iduen pojon, ma a kelep o jota wiawia ian, nan a melar.
18 But say may some one, Thou hast faith, and I have works, shew me thy faith out of thy works, and I will shew thee out of my works my faith:
A ele amen pan inda: Om pojon mia, a ai wiawia kan mia; kajale on ia om pojon, me jota wiawia kan mia, a nai pan kajale on uk ai pojon ni ai wiawia kan.
19 thou — thou dost believe that God is one; thou dost well, and the demons believe, and they shudder!
Koe kamelele me Kot me ta men mia, me mau, nan tewil akan pil kin kamelele ap majakada.
20 And dost thou wish to know, O vain man, that the faith apart from the works is dead?
A koe aramaj aklapalap, ma koe men dedeki, me pojon me mal kot, ma jota wiawia kan ian?
21 Abraham our father — was not he declared righteous out of works, having brought up Isaac his son upon the altar?
Iaduen jam atail Apraam? A jota pun kila a wiawia kan, ni a pan maironki japwilim a kijin putak Ijaak pon pei jaraui?
22 dost thou see that the faith was working with his works, and out of the works the faith was perfected?
I me koe kilan, me pojon jauaja a wiawia kan, o pojon unjok kilar a wiawia kan.
23 and fulfilled was the Writing that is saying, 'And Abraham did believe God, and it was reckoned to him — to righteousness;' and, 'Friend of God' he was called.
Ari majan o pwaidar: Apraam pojon Kot, o i me a pun kilar o a maraneki: Kompoke pan Kot.
24 Ye see, then, that out of works is man declared righteous, and not out of faith only;
Komail ari kilaner, me aramaj amen pan pun kila a wiawia kan a kaidin pojon ta.
25 and in like manner also Rahab the harlot — was she not out of works declared righteous, having received the messengers, and by another way having sent forth?
Pil dueta Raap, li jued amen, kaidin a wiawia kan, me a pun kilar, ni a kajamo men en kadar, o kadar ir ala ni apot al toror?
26 for as the body apart from the spirit is dead, so also the faith apart from the works is dead.
Pwe duen pali war mela, ma jota nen, iduen pojon a mela, ma jota wiawia kan ian.
