Yaqobeppe 1
1 Xoossa Goda Yesusi Kiristossa oothancha gidida Yaqobeppe biitta bolla laletida tammane nam77u kochatas sarotethi intes gido.
James, servant of God and of our Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes of the dispersion, greetings.
2 Ta ishato inte bolla duma duma wayey gakkiiko hessa wursi ufaysan qoodite.
My brothers, when you have fallen into various trials, consider everything a joy,
3 Gaasoykka inte amano paccetithi intes danda7a immizayssa inte ereetta.
knowing that the proving of your faith exercises patience,
4 Inte danda7an mini eqanaysi intes issi miishshikka pacconta kumetha assine wothoy bayndayta gidana mala ootho.
and patience brings a work to perfection, so that you may be perfect and whole, deficient in nothing.
5 Inte garssafe oonasikka eratethi pacciko oonakka kadhontta ba kiiyatethara wurisos immiza Xoossa wosso; izadeskka imettana.
But if anyone among you is in need of wisdom, let him petition God, who gives abundantly to all without reproach, and it shall be given to him.
6 Gido attin sidhey baynda amanon wosso. Gaasoykka sidhiiza uray abba qathiza bullahe cariko malakko.
But he should ask with faith, doubting nothing. For he who doubts is like a wave on the ocean, which is moved about by the wind and carried away;
7 Hessadey Godape aykokk demana giidi issinokka qoppofo.
then a man should not consider that he would receive anything from the Lord.
8 He uray nam77u qohaaththaan ooyketidi ba bizza oge bolla hene haane giza asa malakko.
For a man who is of two minds is inconstant in all his ways.
9 Kase ziiqan diza ura Xoossi dhoqqu histiza gish ufa7etto.
Now a humble brother should glory in his exaltation,
10 Asa haroy maata cisha mala qoqofettiza gish dure ura Xoossi ziq histikko ufa7etto.
and a rich one, in his humiliation, for he will pass away like the flower of the grass.
11 Away xugidi maata shullisees; maata ciishayka shullees; iza loo7etethikka dhayees; hessathokka durey hachchi hachchi dabursan diishin iza duretethi dhayees.
For the sun has risen with a scorching heat, and has dried the grass, and its flower has fallen off, and the appearance of its beauty has perished. So also will the rich one wither away, according to his paths.
12 Paccen miinni eqidadey izi anjjetidade. Gaasoyka izi paccera eqitishin Xoossi bena dosizaytas immida ufaysa deyo zawude izi ekkana.
Blessed is the man who suffers temptation. For when he has been proven, he shall receive the crown of life which God has promised to those who love him.
13 Oonikka paccetiza gidikko tana Xoossi paccees goppo, gaasoykka Xoossi ase iittan paccena, izi oonakka pacci erena.
No one should say, when he is tempted, that he was tempted by God. For God does not entice toward evils, and he himself tempts no one.
14 Gido attin issi issi uray paccetizay berika ba iitta amo kalishene baletishekko.
Yet truly, each one is tempted by his own desires, having been enticed and drawn away.
15 Amoy qanthetetidape guye nagara yellees. Nagaraykka dicciidape guye hayqo yellees.
Thereafter, when desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin. Yet truly sin, when it has been consummated, produces death.
16 Ta siiqo ishato inte ballettopite.
And so, do not choose to go astray, my most beloved brothers.
17 Loo7o imotethine kumetha anjjoy wuri bolla Salo poo7ota Aawape wodhetes. Iza achan gede ha yuyiza kuwayka (eshoykka) dena.
Every excellent gift and every perfect gift is from above, descending from the Father of lights, with whom there is no change, nor any shadow of alteration.
18 Nu iza medhetethas koyro bayrata gidana mala ba sheninne ba tuma qaalan nuna yellides.
For by his own will he produced us through the Word of truth, so that we might be a kind of beginning among his creatures.
19 Dosetida ta ishato hayssa yuushi qoppite. Asi wurikka siyanas esoto, hasa7asinne hanqqos esotopo.
You know this, my most beloved brothers. So let every man be quick to listen, but slow to speak and slow to anger.
20 Asa hanqqoy Xoossa xiiloteth oothena.
For the anger of man does not accomplish the justice of God.
21 Hessa gish tunatethinne dalggida iittatethi intefe kessi yegidi inte shemppo ashanaas danda7iza inte gidon toketida qaala ashketethara ekkite.
Because of this, having cast away all uncleanness and an abundance of malice, receive with meekness the newly-grafted Word, which is able to save your souls.
22 Qaalay gizayssa oothite; attin mela siisi xalala siyzadista gididi interkka intena balethofite.
So be doers of the Word, and not listeners only, deceiving yourselves.
23 Qaala siyishe siyida qaalay gizayssa oothontadey ba ayfeso mastotera xelliza asa malakko.
For if anyone is a listener of the Word, but not also a doer, he is comparable to a man gazing into a mirror upon the face that he was born with;
24 Bena xeelli beydi bees; izi ay milatizakone heraka baletti gides.
and after considering himself, he went away and promptly forgot what he had seen.
25 Gido attin bena geshiza loo7o woga xeelli beydi izan minizadey ba siydayssa oothizadeynne balonttadey izi ba oothon anjjetidade gidana.
But he who gazes upon the perfect law of liberty, and who remains in it, is not a forgetful hearer, but instead a doer of the work. He shall be blessed in what he does.
26 Be duuna nagontta berikka ba wozina baleththishe ta ammanayss gizadey berikka bena baleththees. Iza ammanoykka mella hada ammanokko.
But if anyone considers himself to be religious, but he does not restrain his tongue, but instead seduces his own heart: such a one’s religion is vanity.
27 Xoossa Aawa sinthan iittatethi baynda loo7o ammanoy; “Aayanne Aaway hayqqida nayta, istta azinati hayqqida maccashata metotetishin maadonne hayssa alameza tunatethafe bena nagokko.
This is religion, clean and undefiled before God the Father: to visit orphans and widows in their tribulations, and to keep yourself immaculate, apart from this age.
