Jakubu 1
1 Nĩ niĩ Jakubu, ndungata ya Ngai na ya Mwathani Jesũ Kristũ, Ndĩramwandĩkĩra inyuĩ a mĩhĩrĩga ĩrĩa ikũmi na ĩĩrĩ mũhurunjĩtwo thĩ yothe: Nĩndamũgeithia.
JAKUB, a servant of Aloha and of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha, unto the twelve tribes who are dispersed among the nations: Peace.
2 Ariũ na aarĩ a Ithe witũ, rĩrĩa rĩothe mwakorwo nĩ magerio ma mĩthemba mĩingĩ-rĩ, tuagai atĩ ũguo nĩ gĩkeno gĩtheri.
All joy shall be to you, my brethren, when you shall have entered into temptations many and various.
3 tondũ nĩmũũĩ atĩ kũgerio kwa wĩtĩkio wanyu kũrehaga gũkirĩrĩria.
For you know that the proving of faith maketh you to possess patience;
4 Rekei gũkirĩrĩria kwanyu kũrute wĩra wakuo, nĩgeetha mũtuĩke andũ aagĩrĩru kũna na agima, mũtarĩ na ũndũ mwagĩte.
but to patience let there be a perfect work, that you may be complete and perfected, and in nothing be deficient.
5 Na rĩrĩ, mũndũ wanyu angĩkorwo aagĩte ũũgĩ-rĩ, nĩahooe Ngai, ũrĩa ũheaga andũ othe na ũtaana, na atarĩ na ũũru ngoro, nake nĩekũheo ũũgĩ ũcio.
If any of you be deficient in wisdom, let him ask of Aloha, who giveth to all expansively, and upbraideth not, and it is given to him.
6 No rĩrĩa ekũhooya-rĩ, nĩahooe etĩkĩtie, na ndagathanganie, tondũ mũndũ ũrĩa ũthanganagia ahaana ta ikũmbĩ rĩa iria inene, rĩrĩa rĩhurutagwo nĩ rũhuho na rĩkarũgarũũgio.
But let him ask in faith, not wavering. For he who wavereth is like the waves of the sea which the wind disturbeth.
7 Mũndũ ũcio ndageciirie atĩ nĩakaheo kĩndũ o nakĩ nĩ Mwathani;
And let not that man expect to receive any thing from the Lord,
8 ũcio nĩ mũndũ wa ngoro igĩrĩ, ũtarĩ hĩndĩ akindagĩria maũndũ-inĩ mothe marĩa ekaga.
who is divided in his mind, and disturbed in all his ways.
9 Mũrũ kana mwarĩ wa Ithe witũ ũrĩa wĩnyiihagia aagĩrĩirwo nĩ kwĩraha nĩ ũndũ nĩatũũgĩrĩtio.
But let the humble brother glory in his exaltation,
10 No ũrĩa mũtongu nĩerahage nĩ ũndũ wa kũnyiihio gwake, tondũ agaathira ta ihũa rĩa gĩthaka.
and the rich in his humility; for as the flower of an herb, so he passeth.
11 Nĩgũkorwo riũa rĩrathaga rĩrĩ na ũrugarĩ mũhiũ wa gũcina narĩo rĩkahoohia mũmera; nakĩo kĩro kĩaguo gĩgaitĩka na ũthaka waguo ũkanangwo. Ũguo no taguo mũndũ ũrĩa mũtongu akaahwererekera o akĩrutaga wĩra wake.
For the sun ariseth in his heat, and drieth the herb, and the flower of it falleth, and the beauty of its appearance perisheth; so also the rich withereth in his reverses.
12 Kũrathimwo-rĩ, nĩ mũndũ ũrĩa ũũmagĩrĩria rĩrĩa ekũgerio, tondũ aatooria magerio, nĩakaheo thũmbĩ ya muoyo ĩrĩa Ngai erĩire arĩa mamwendete.
Blessed the man who endureth temptations: for when he hath been proved he shall receive the crown of life, which Aloha hath promised unto them who love him.
13 Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa mwagerio, mũndũ o naũ ndakanoige atĩrĩ, “Ngai nĩarangeria.” Nĩgũkorwo Ngai ndangĩhota kũgerio nĩ ũũru, o nake mwene ndageragia mũndũ o na ũrĩkũ;
Let no man say, when he is tempted, From Aloha I am tempted; for Aloha is not tempted with evils, and he no man tempteth.
14 no rĩrĩ, mũndũ nĩkũgerio ageragio hĩndĩ ĩrĩa ekũguucĩrĩrio na akaheenererio nĩ merirĩria make mooru.
But each man from his concupiscence tempteth himself, and desireth, and is drawn away.
15 Namo merirĩria marĩkia kũgĩa nda, maciaraga mehia; namo mehia hĩndĩ ĩrĩa maakũra biũ, magaciara gĩkuũ.
And this desire conceiveth and beareth sin; and sin, when it is perfected, beareth death.
16 Ariũ na aarĩ a Ithe witũ inyuĩ nyenda mũno-rĩ, mũtikanaheenio.
Do not err, my beloved brethren;
17 Kĩheo gĩothe kĩega na gĩkinyanĩru kiumaga igũrũ, gĩikũrũkĩte kuuma kũrĩ Ithe wa motheri ma igũrũ, ũrĩa ũtagarũrũkaga ta ciĩruru iria igarũrũkaga.
every good gift and perfect from above descendeth, from the Father of lights, with whom is no alteration, nor the shadow of vicissitude.
18 Nĩwe watũciarire nĩ kwenda na ũndũ wa ũhoro-ũrĩa-wa-ma, nĩguo tũtuĩke ta maciaro ma mbere ma indo ciothe iria ombire.
He willed, and begat us by the word of truth, that we might be the first-ones of his creatures.
19 Ariũ na aarĩ a Ithe witũ inyuĩ nyenda mũno, menyai ũũ: O mũndũ nĩahiũhage gũthikĩrĩria, no ndakahiũhage kwaria o na kana kũrakara,
And you, my beloved brethren, let every one of you be swift to hear, and slow to speak, and slow to be angry;
20 nĩgũkorwo marakara ma mũndũ matirehaga mũtũũrĩre wa ũthingu ũrĩa Ngai endaga.
for the wrath of man the righteousness of Aloha worketh not.
21 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio-rĩ, eheriai maũndũ mothe marĩ magigi, na ũũru ũrĩa ũkĩrĩrĩirie kũingĩha, na mwĩnyiihĩtie, mwĩtĩkĩre kiugo kĩrĩa kĩhaandĩtwo thĩinĩ wanyu, o kĩrĩa kĩngĩmũhonokia.
Wherefore, remove from you all impurity and the abounding of wickedness, and with meekness receive the word which is engrafted in our nature, which is able to save your souls.
22 Mũtigatuĩke o a gũthikagĩrĩria kiugo tu, no tuĩkai a gwĩka ũrĩa kiugĩte, nĩguo mũtikeheenie inyuĩ ene.
BUT be doers of the word, and not hearers only, neither deceive yourselves.
23 Mũndũ o wothe ũthikagĩrĩria kiugo no ndekaga ũrĩa kiugĩte-rĩ, ahaana ta mũndũ ũrĩa wĩroraga ũthiũ na gĩcicio,
For if a man be a hearer of the word and not a doer of it, this (man) is like one who vieweth his face in a mirror;
24 na thuutha wa kwĩrora, agethiĩra na akariganĩrwo o narua nĩ ũrĩa ahaana.
for he seeth himself and passeth, and hath forgotten what (manner of person) he was.
25 No mũndũ ũrĩa ũroraga wega watho ũrĩa mũkinyanĩru kũna ũrĩa ũheanaga wĩyathi, na agathiĩ na mbere gwĩka ũguo, atekũriganĩrwo nĩ ũrĩa aiguĩte no akawĩkaga-rĩ, ũcio nĩarĩrathimagĩrwo maũndũ marĩa ekaga.
But every one who looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he is not a hearer of the hearing of forgetfulness, but a doer of works; and this shall be blessed in his work.
26 Mũndũ o wothe angĩĩtua mũndũ wa ndini no aremwo nĩ gwatha rũrĩmĩ rwake-rĩ, mũndũ ũcio nĩ kwĩheenia eheenagia, na ũndini wake nĩ wa tũhũ.
And if a man thinketh that he serveth Aloha, and holdeth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, of this man his service is vain.
27 Ũndini ũrĩa Ngai Ithe witũ etĩkagĩra atĩ nĩ mũtheru na ndũrĩ na mahĩtia nĩ ũyũ: nĩ kũroraga ciana cia ngoriai na atumia a ndigwa hĩndĩ ĩrĩa marĩ mathĩĩna-inĩ mao, na ningĩ mũndũ etheemage ndagathũkio nĩ maũndũ ma gũkũ thĩ.
For the service which is pure and true before Aloha the Father, is this, to visit the orphans and widows in their afflictions, and that a man keep himself from the world without blemish.
