Yayqooba 1
1 Xoossaanne Godaa Yesuus Kiristtoosa aylley, Yayqoobi, biitta ubban laalettida tammanne nam77u sheeshatas kiittida kiita. Saro, ay mela de7eetii?
James, a bondman of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes in the Dispersion, greeting.
2 Ta ishato, hinttena dumma dumma paacey gakkiya wode hintte lo77obaa demmidaada kumetha ufayssan ekkite.
Consider it all joy, my brothers, when ye encounter various trials,
3 Hintte ammanuwa paacetethay dandda7a hinttew immeyssa ereeta.
knowing that the testing of your faith produces perseverance.
4 Hintte wurssethi gakkanaw dandda7ikko aybi pacey baynna polonne kumethi gideta.
And let perseverance have a perfect work, so that ye may be perfect and complete, falling short in nothing.
5 Hinttefe oodeskka cinccatethi dhayikko Xoossaa woosso. Iyaw imettana. Xoossay oonakka boronna ubbaas keehatethan immiya Xoosse.
And if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask from God who gives to all generously and not reproaching, and it will be given to him.
6 Shin I woossiya wode sidhonna ammanon Xoossaa woosso. Sidhiya oonikka carkkoy sugin qaaxxiya abbaa zule mela.
But let him ask in faith, doubting nothing, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven by wind and tossed about.
7 Nam77u qofi de7eynne ba ogiyan eqqonna oonikka Godaappe aykkoka demmana gidi qoppofo.
For that man should not think that he will receive anything from the Lord,
a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.
9 Ammaniya manqo asati, Xoossay enttana dhoqqu oothiya wode ufaytto.
Now let the lowly brother boast in his exaltation,
10 Qassi ammaniyaa dure asati Xoossay enttana ziqqi oothiya wode ufaytto. Dure asati ciishshada dhayana.
but the rich in his lowliness, because as a flower of grass he will pass away.
11 Away ba mishaara keyidi maataa melisin, ciishshay serees; iya lo77otethayka dhayees. Hessadakka, dure asati bantta oosuwan daaburishe dhayana.
For the sun rose up with the burning heat, and withered the grass. And the flower of it fell, and the beauty of its appearance perished. So also the rich man will fade away among his pursuits.
12 Metuwa xoonidi aadhdhidaappe guye, Xoossay bana siiqeyssatas immana gidi qaala gelida de7o kallachcha ekkana gisho, meton gencciya asi anjjettidayssa.
Blessed is a man who endures temptation, because, having become approved, he will receive the crown of life, which the Lord promised to those who love him.
13 Oonikka paacettiya wode, “Tana Xoossay paaces” gooppo. Xoossay iitan paacettenna; qassi I oonakka paaccenna.
Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted by God, for God is without temptation of evils, and he himself tempts no man.
14 Shin issi issi asi ba iita amuwaan gooshettiya wodenne cimettiya wode paacettees.
But each man is tempted by his own lust, being drawn away and enticed.
15 Hessafe guye, amotethi qanthattidi nagara yelees; qassi nagari diccidi hayqo yelees.
Then the lust having conceived, it gives birth to sin, and after being complete the sin brings forth death.
16 Ta siiqo ishato, cimettofite.
Be not led astray, my beloved brothers.
17 Lo77o imoynne kumetha anjjo ubbay saloppenne saluwa poo7uwa medhdhida Xoossaa aawappe yees. Xoossay kuyada ubba wode laamettenna.
Every good gift and every perfect endowment is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation nor shadow of turning.
18 Nuuni, iya medhetethaas koyro gidana mela nuna tuma qaalan ba shenen yelis.
Having deliberated, he begot us by the word of truth for us to be a certain first fruit of his creatures.
19 Ta siiqo ishato, hayssa akeekite. Asi ubbay si7anaw elleso, shin odettanawunne hanqettanaw ellesoppo.
Therefore, my beloved brothers, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath.
20 Asa hanqoy Xoossay koyaa xillotethaa ehenna.
For the wrath of man does not accomplish the righteousness of God.
21 Hessa gisho, tuna hanotanne iitatetha ubbaa diggidi, Xoossay hintte wozanan tokkida hintte shemppuwa ashshanaw dandda7iya qaala aadatethan ekkite.
Therefore having put off all filthiness and profusion of evil, receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls.
22 Shin Xoossaa qaala ooson peeshshiteppe attin sissa xalaalan hinttena cimmofite.
But become ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.
23 Qaalaa si7idi oothonna asi, I ba som77uwa masttoten be7iya asa mela.
Because if any man is a hearer of the word and not a doer, this resembles a man observing his natural face in a mirror.
24 I ba som77uwa be7idi bees, shin I ay daaniyakko ellesi dogees.
For he observes himself, and goes away, and straightaway forgets what kind of man he was.
25 Shin oonikka aylletethafe kessiya polo higgiya akeekan be7idi, kaallidi naagey, si7idayssa dogonna ooson peeshshiya uray, ba ooso ubban anjjettana.
But he who stooped to look into the perfect law, the one of liberty, and who remained, this man, who did not become a forgetful hearer but a doer of work, this man will be blessed in his doing.
26 Ba inxarssaa naagonna ammanays giya uray bana cimmees; iya ammanoy hada.
If any man among you seems to be religious, not bridling his tongue but deceiving his heart, this man's religion is futile.
27 Xoossaa Aawa sinthan borey baynna geeshsha ammanoy hayssa: aaya aawu baynna naytanne am77eta maadonne alamiya tunaappe bana naago.
Pure religion and undefiled from God and the Father is this, to go help the orphaned and the widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.
