Yayqooba 1
1 Xoossaanne Godaa Yesuus Kiristtoosa aylley, Yayqoobi, biitta ubban laalettida tammanne nam77u sheeshatas kiittida kiita. Saro, ay mela de7eetii?
James, a servant, of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, —unto the twelve tribes that are in the dispersion, Wishes joy.
2 Ta ishato, hinttena dumma dumma paacey gakkiya wode hintte lo77obaa demmidaada kumetha ufayssan ekkite.
All Joy, account it, my brethren, whensoever ye fall in with, manifold, temptations, —
3 Hintte ammanuwa paacetethay dandda7a hinttew immeyssa ereeta.
Taking note, that, the proving of your faith, worketh out endurance;
4 Hintte wurssethi gakkanaw dandda7ikko aybi pacey baynna polonne kumethi gideta.
But let, your endurance, have, mature work, that ye may be mature and complete, in nothing, coming short.
5 Hinttefe oodeskka cinccatethi dhayikko Xoossaa woosso. Iyaw imettana. Xoossay oonakka boronna ubbaas keehatethan immiya Xoosse.
But, if any of you is sinning short of wisdom, let him be asking of God, Who giveth unto all freely and upbraideth not, and it shall be given him;
6 Shin I woossiya wode sidhonna ammanon Xoossaa woosso. Sidhiya oonikka carkkoy sugin qaaxxiya abbaa zule mela.
But let him be asking in faith, nothing, doubting, for, he that doubteth, is like a wave of the sea, wind-driven and storm-tossed, —
7 Nam77u qofi de7eynne ba ogiyan eqqonna oonikka Godaappe aykkoka demmana gidi qoppofo.
For let not that man think that he shall receive anything from the Lord—
A two-souled man, unstable in all his ways.
9 Ammaniya manqo asati, Xoossay enttana dhoqqu oothiya wode ufaytto.
But boasting be the lowly brother in his uplifting;
10 Qassi ammaniyaa dure asati Xoossay enttana ziqqi oothiya wode ufaytto. Dure asati ciishshada dhayana.
Whereas the rich, in his being brought low, —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 hath sprung up, with it scorching heat, and hath withered the grass, and, the flower thereof, hath fallen out, and, the beauty of the face thereof, hath perished, —so, also the rich, in his goings, shall languish.
12 Metuwa xoonidi aadhdhidaappe guye, Xoossay bana siiqeyssatas immana gidi qaala gelida de7o kallachcha ekkana gisho, meton gencciya asi anjjettidayssa.
Happy the man who endureth temptation! Because, becoming approved, he shall receive the crown of life—which he hath promised unto them that love him.
13 Oonikka paacettiya wode, “Tana Xoossay paaces” gooppo. Xoossay iitan paacettenna; qassi I oonakka paaccenna.
Let, no one, while tempted, be saying—From God, am I tempted, —for, God, cannot be tempted by things evil, and, himself, tempteth no one;
14 Shin issi issi asi ba iita amuwaan gooshettiya wodenne cimettiya wode paacettees.
But, each one, is tempted, when, by his own coveting, he is drawn out and enticed,
15 Hessafe guye, amotethi qanthattidi nagara yelees; qassi nagari diccidi hayqo yelees.
Then, the coveting, having conceived, giveth birth to sin, and, the sin, when full-grown, bringeth forth death.
16 Ta siiqo ishato, cimettofite.
Be not deceived, my brethren beloved: —
17 Lo77o imoynne kumetha anjjo ubbay saloppenne saluwa poo7uwa medhdhida Xoossaa aawappe yees. Xoossay kuyada ubba wode laamettenna.
Every good giving, and every perfect gift, is, from above, coming down from the Father of lights—with whom is no alternation, nor shadow cast, by turning:
18 Nuuni, iya medhetethaas koyro gidana mela nuna tuma qaalan ba shenen yelis.
Because he was so minded, he hath brought us forth with a word of truth, to the end we should be a sort of firstfruit of his creatures
19 Ta siiqo ishato, hayssa akeekite. Asi ubbay si7anaw elleso, shin odettanawunne hanqettanaw ellesoppo.
Ye know, my brethren beloved, —but let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger,
20 Asa hanqoy Xoossay koyaa xillotethaa ehenna.
For, man’s anger, worketh not, God’s righteousness.
21 Hessa gisho, tuna hanotanne iitatetha ubbaa diggidi, Xoossay hintte wozanan tokkida hintte shemppuwa ashshanaw dandda7iya qaala aadatethan ekkite.
Wherefore, putting away all filthiness and overflow of baseness, in meekness, welcome ye the word fitted for inward growth, which is able to save your souls:
22 Shin Xoossaa qaala ooson peeshshiteppe attin sissa xalaalan hinttena cimmofite.
Become ye doers of the word, and not hearers only—reasoning yourselves astray;
23 Qaalaa si7idi oothonna asi, I ba som77uwa masttoten be7iya asa mela.
Because, if any is, a word-hearer, and not a doer, the same, is like unto a man observing his natural face in a mirror, —
24 I ba som77uwa be7idi bees, shin I ay daaniyakko ellesi dogees.
For he observed himself, and is gone away, and, straightway, it hath escaped him, —what manner 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 that hath obtained a nearer view into the perfect law of liberty, and hath taken up his abode by it, becoming—not a forgetful hearer, but a work doer, the same, happy in his doing, shall be.
26 Ba inxarssaa naagonna ammanays giya uray bana cimmees; iya ammanoy hada.
If any thinketh he is observant of religion, not curbing his own tongue, but deceiving his own heart, this one’s, religious observance is, vain:
27 Xoossaa Aawa sinthan borey baynna geeshsha ammanoy hayssa: aaya aawu baynna naytanne am77eta maadonne alamiya tunaappe bana naago.
Religious observance, pure and undefiled with our God and Father, is, this—to be visiting orphans and widows in their affliction, unspotted, to keep, himself, from the world.
