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 our Lord Jesus the Messiah; to the twelve tribes dispersed among the Gentiles; greeting peace.
2 Ta ishato, hinttena dumma dumma paacey gakkiya wode hintte lo77obaa demmidaada kumetha ufayssan ekkite.
Let it be all joy to you, my brethren, when ye enter into many and various trials.
3 Hintte ammanuwa paacetethay dandda7a hinttew immeyssa ereeta.
For ye know, that the trial of your faith, maketh you possess patience.
4 Hintte wurssethi gakkanaw dandda7ikko aybi pacey baynna polonne kumethi gideta.
And let patience have its perfect work, so that ye may be complete and perfect, and may lack nothing.
5 Hinttefe oodeskka cinccatethi dhayikko Xoossaa woosso. Iyaw imettana. Xoossay oonakka boronna ubbaas keehatethan immiya Xoosse.
And if any of you lacketh wisdom, let him ask it of God, who giveth to all freely, and reproacheth not; and it will be given him.
6 Shin I woossiya wode sidhonna ammanon Xoossaa woosso. Sidhiya oonikka carkkoy sugin qaaxxiya abbaa zule mela.
But let him ask in faith, not hesitating: he who hesitateth is like the waves of the sea, which the wind agitateth.
7 Nam77u qofi de7eynne ba ogiyan eqqonna oonikka Godaappe aykkoka demmana gidi qoppofo.
And let not that man expect to receive any thing of the Lord,
who is hesitating in his mind, and unstable in all his ways.
9 Ammaniya manqo asati, Xoossay enttana dhoqqu oothiya wode ufaytto.
And let the depressed brother rejoice, in his elevation;
10 Qassi ammaniyaa dure asati Xoossay enttana ziqqi oothiya wode ufaytto. Dure asati ciishshada dhayana.
and the rich, in his depression; because, like the flower of an herb, so he passeth away.
11 Away ba mishaara keyidi maataa melisin, ciishshay serees; iya lo77otethayka dhayees. Hessadakka, dure asati bantta oosuwan daaburishe dhayana.
For the sun riseth in its heat, and drieth up the herb; and its flower falleth, and the beauty of its appearance perisheth: so also the rich man withereth in his ways.
12 Metuwa xoonidi aadhdhidaappe guye, Xoossay bana siiqeyssatas immana gidi qaala gelida de7o kallachcha ekkana gisho, meton gencciya asi anjjettidayssa.
Blessed is the man who endureth temptations; so that when he is proved he may receive a crown of life, which God hath promised to them that love him.
13 Oonikka paacettiya wode, “Tana Xoossay paaces” gooppo. Xoossay iitan paacettenna; qassi I oonakka paaccenna.
Let no one when he is tempted, say, I am tempted of God: for God is not tempted with evils, nor doth he tempt any man.
14 Shin issi issi asi ba iita amuwaan gooshettiya wodenne cimettiya wode paacettees.
But every man is tempted by his own lust; and he lusteth, and is drawn away.
15 Hessafe guye, amotethi qanthattidi nagara yelees; qassi nagari diccidi hayqo yelees.
And this his lust conceiveth, and bringeth forth sin; and sin, when mature, bringeth forth death.
16 Ta siiqo ishato, cimettofite.
Do not err, my beloved brethren.
17 Lo77o imoynne kumetha anjjo ubbay saloppenne saluwa poo7uwa medhdhida Xoossaa aawappe yees. Xoossay kuyada ubba wode laamettenna.
Every good and perfect gift cometh down from above, from the Father of lights, with whom is no mutation, not even the shadow of change.
18 Nuuni, iya medhetethaas koyro gidana mela nuna tuma qaalan ba shenen yelis.
He saw fit, and begat us by the word of truth; that we might be the first-fruits of his creatures.
19 Ta siiqo ishato, hayssa akeekite. Asi ubbay si7anaw elleso, shin odettanawunne hanqettanaw ellesoppo.
And be ye, my beloved brethren, every one of you, swift to hear, and slow to speak; and slow to wrath:
20 Asa hanqoy Xoossay koyaa xillotethaa ehenna.
for the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God.
21 Hessa gisho, tuna hanotanne iitatetha ubbaa diggidi, Xoossay hintte wozanan tokkida hintte shemppuwa ashshanaw dandda7iya qaala aadatethan ekkite.
Wherefore, remove far from you all impurity, and the abundance of wickedness; and, with meekness, receive the word that is implanted in our nature, which is able to vivify these your souls.
22 Shin Xoossaa qaala ooson peeshshiteppe attin sissa xalaalan hinttena cimmofite.
But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only; and do not deceive yourselves.
23 Qaalaa si7idi oothonna asi, I ba som77uwa masttoten be7iya asa mela.
For if any man shall be a hearer of the word, and not a doer of it, he will be like one who seeth his face in a mirror:
24 I ba som77uwa be7idi bees, shin I ay daaniyakko ellesi dogees.
for he seeth himself, and passeth on, and forgetteth what a man he was.
25 Shin oonikka aylletethafe kessiya polo higgiya akeekan be7idi, kaallidi naagey, si7idayssa dogonna ooson peeshshiya uray, ba ooso ubban anjjettana.
But every one that looketh upon the perfect law of liberty and abideth in it, is not a hearer of something to be forgotten, but a doer of the things; and he will be blessed in his work.
26 Ba inxarssaa naagonna ammanays giya uray bana cimmees; iya ammanoy hada.
And if any one thinketh that he worshippeth God, and doth not restrain his tongue, but his heart deceiveth him; his worship is vain.
27 Xoossaa Aawa sinthan borey baynna geeshsha ammanoy hayssa: aaya aawu baynna naytanne am77eta maadonne alamiya tunaappe bana naago.
For the worship that is pure and holy before God the Father, is this: to visit the fatherless and the widows in their affliction, and that one keep himself unspotted from the world.
