Yaqobeppe 2
1 Ta ishato inte bonchettida Goda Yesussa Kiristosa ammanizayta gidida mala asse besontta ogera maadofiite.
MY brethren, hold not the faith of our glorious Lord Jesus shewing a respect for persons.
2 Worqqa yiich biradhen aaththdi loo7o mayo mayida asi inte shiqqizaso yiikko hessathokka qiita mayo mayidadey he shiqqizaso yiko qaseka hara qiita mayo mayda manqqo uray gelliko loo7o maydaysa duma boncho bonchidi “nees besiiza loo7o utizaso hessa beya” giidi hayinko manqqoza qasse “Ne hen hessan eqa, woykko haa ya ta garisan hugen uta” inte gikko;
For if there come into your congregation a man with a gold ring, and in splendid apparel, and there come in also a poor man in a sordid garb;
and ye fix your eyes upon him who bears the splendid robe, and say to him, Sit thou here in an honourable place; and ye say to the poor man, Stand thou there, or sit here under my footstool:
4 Inte inte garsan besontta maado oothista gideketi? Qasseka inte iitta qofan ooykittida iitta pirda piirdizayta gideketi?
are you not thus partial among yourselves, and form your decision from bad reasonings?
5 Ta siiqo ishato ane siyte; isti ammanon durista gidana mala Xoossi bena dosizaytas ufayssan isttas immida kawotetha istti laattana mala hayssa ha alamezan diza manqota dooribeynee?
Hear me, my beloved brethren. Hath not God elected the poor of this world to be rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which God hath promised to those who love him;
6 Inte qase manqota kawusheista. Intena waysiza durista gidetene? Intena piirdeso gochizay istta gidetenee?
but ye have put contempt on the poor man? Do not the rich men tyrannize over you? and they drag you to the tribunals.
7 Intenan xeygetida boncho Xoossa sunththa zigirizayti ista gidetenee?
Do they not blaspheme that honourable name by which ye are called?
8 Maxaafan “Ne lagge ne hu7e mala siiqa” geeteti xaafettida kawo woga inte polikko loo7o oothista.
If indeed ye fulfil the royal law according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself, ye do well:
9 Inte besonta maado madikko nagara oothista. woga sinthanka inte woga yedhidade gidi qodistana.
but if ye have respect of persons, ye commit sin, and are convicted by the law as transgressors.
10 Gaasoykka woga wursi pollizadey qasekka wogape issineyin dhuphetiza uray wursikka moridade mala qoodettees.
For whosoever shall keep the whole law, but offendeth in a single particular, he is chargeable with the breach of all.
11 “Laymatopa” gidadey izikka zaaridi “wodhopa” gides. Ne laymatontta agikokka ne asa wodhikko wogape adhiidade gidaassa.
For he that said, Thou shalt not commit adultery, said also, Thou shalt not commit murder. Now if thou dost not commit adultery, yet dost commit murder, thou art a transgressor of the law.
12 Inte hasa7a hasa7ishe woykko issi miishshi oothishe intena xiillisiza asa mala gidite.
So speak, and so act, as those who shall be judged by the law of liberty.
13 Gaasoykka marontay wurikka maroy baynda pirdistana. Maroy pirda Xoonees.
For judgment without mercy shall be on him who shewed no mercy, and mercy glorieth against judgment.
14 Ta ishato issi uray taas ammanoy dees gikko qasse oothon besontade gidikko iza ay maadanee? Hesamala amanoy iza ashane?
What is the advantage, my brethren, if a man profess to have faith, but hath not works; can faith save him?
15 Ane qoppite, issi ishay woykko issi michiya mayoy woykko mizayssi baynda aggiko intefe isadey “Inte saron biite, intena megopo, kallite” giiko istta ashos koshizayssa immontta aggikko ay maadanee?
Now if a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food,
and should one of you say to them, Go in peace, be warm, be replenished with food: yet if ye give them not the necessaries for their body; what doth it avail?
17 Hesathokka oothoy baynda ammanoykka bees hayidayssa.
So also faith, if it hath not works, is dead itself.
18 Gido attin isadey “Taas oothoy dees nees ammanoy dees. Neni ne ammano oothope shaakada tana bessa, ta qasse ta ammano oothon nena bessana gikko;
Perhaps a man will say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith by thy works, and I will shew thee by my works my faith.
19 Ne “issi Xoossi dizaysa ammanayss” loo7oko; daydanthatikka hessa mala ammanettesinne kehi kokoreetes.
Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe and tremble.
20 Neno eeyazo! oothoy baynda ammanos go7ay bayndayssa eranas marikka koyazii?
But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?
21 Nu Aawa Abramey ba na Yisaqa yarshizasoza bolla shiishshida wode oothon xilli beynee?
Was not our father Abraham justified by works, when he offered up Isaac his son upon the altar?
22 Hessan ammanoy iza oothora isife dizaysanne amanoy ooothon poletidayssa beyazii?
Thou seest that faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith consummated.
23 “Abramey Xoossu ammanides; He amanoy izas xiillotethan qoodetides” giza maxaafa qaalay poletides; izikka Xoossi dosidade geetettides.
And the scripture was fulfilled, which saith, “Abraham believed God, and it was imputed to him for righteousness;” and he was called “the friend of God.”
24 Hessa gish asi ammanon xalala gidontta oothonkka xiillizaysa inte beyeista.
Observe therefore that by works a man is justified, and not by faith merely.
25 Hesathokka laymman diza Era7aba kiiteti bida asata mokka ekada hara ogera moyza yedida gish ba oothon xiillabeykee?
But was not Rahab the harlot in like manner justified by works, when she entertained the messengers, and sent them away by a different road?
26 Shemppofe shaakettida ashoy hayqeeth gidida mala oothopekka shaakettida ammanoy hayqethikko.
For as the body without breath is dead, so faith without works is dead also.
