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, to the twelve tribes in the dispersion: Greetings!
2 Ta ishato, hinttena dumma dumma paacey gakkiya wode hintte lo77obaa demmidaada kumetha ufayssan ekkite.
Consider it all joy, my brothers, when you experience various troubles.
3 Hintte ammanuwa paacetethay dandda7a hinttew immeyssa ereeta.
You know that the testing of your faith produces endurance.
4 Hintte wurssethi gakkanaw dandda7ikko aybi pacey baynna polonne kumethi gideta.
Let endurance complete its work, so that you may become fully developed and complete, not lacking anything.
5 Hinttefe oodeskka cinccatethi dhayikko Xoossaa woosso. Iyaw imettana. Xoossay oonakka boronna ubbaas keehatethan immiya Xoosse.
But if any of you needs wisdom, let him ask for it from God, the one who gives generously and without rebuke to all who ask, and he will give it 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 anyone who doubts is like a wave in the sea that is driven by the wind and tossed around.
7 Nam77u qofi de7eynne ba ogiyan eqqonna oonikka Godaappe aykkoka demmana gidi qoppofo.
For that person must not think that he will receive anything from the Lord.
Such a person is double-minded, unstable in all his ways.
9 Ammaniya manqo asati, Xoossay enttana dhoqqu oothiya wode ufaytto.
Let the poor brother boast of his high position,
10 Qassi ammaniyaa dure asati Xoossay enttana ziqqi oothiya wode ufaytto. Dure asati ciishshada dhayana.
but the rich man of his low position, because he will pass away as a wild flower in the grass.
11 Away ba mishaara keyidi maataa melisin, ciishshay serees; iya lo77otethayka dhayees. Hessadakka, dure asati bantta oosuwan daaburishe dhayana.
For the sun rises with burning heat and dries up the grass. The flower falls off, and its beauty perishes. In the same way, the rich man will fade away in the middle of his journey.
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 endures testing. For after he has passed the test, he will receive the crown of life, which has been promised to those who love God.
13 Oonikka paacettiya wode, “Tana Xoossay paaces” gooppo. Xoossay iitan paacettenna; qassi I oonakka paaccenna.
Let no one say when he is tempted, “I am tempted by God,” because God is not tempted by evil, nor does he himself tempt anyone.
14 Shin issi issi asi ba iita amuwaan gooshettiya wodenne cimettiya wode paacettees.
But each person is tempted by his own desire, which drags him away and entices him.
15 Hessafe guye, amotethi qanthattidi nagara yelees; qassi nagari diccidi hayqo yelees.
Then after the desire conceives, it gives birth to sin, and after the sin is full grown, it gives birth to death.
16 Ta siiqo ishato, cimettofite.
Do not be deceived, 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 gift is from above. It comes down from the Father of lights. With him there is no changing or shadow because of turning.
18 Nuuni, iya medhetethaas koyro gidana mela nuna tuma qaalan ba shenen yelis.
God chose to give us birth by the word of truth, so that we would be a kind of firstfruits of all the things that he created.
19 Ta siiqo ishato, hayssa akeekite. Asi ubbay si7anaw elleso, shin odettanawunne hanqettanaw ellesoppo.
You know this, my beloved brothers: Let every man be quick to hear, slow to speak, and slow to anger.
20 Asa hanqoy Xoossay koyaa xillotethaa ehenna.
For the anger of man does not work the righteousness of God.
21 Hessa gisho, tuna hanotanne iitatetha ubbaa diggidi, Xoossay hintte wozanan tokkida hintte shemppuwa ashshanaw dandda7iya qaala aadatethan ekkite.
Therefore take off all sinful filth and abundant amounts of evil. In humility receive the implanted word, which is able to save your souls.
22 Shin Xoossaa qaala ooson peeshshiteppe attin sissa xalaalan hinttena cimmofite.
Be doers of the word and not only hearers, deceiving yourselves.
23 Qaalaa si7idi oothonna asi, I ba som77uwa masttoten be7iya asa mela.
For if anyone is a hearer of the word but not a doer, he is like a man who examines his natural face in a mirror.
24 I ba som77uwa be7idi bees, shin I ay daaniyakko ellesi dogees.
He examines himself and then goes away and immediately forgets what he was like.
25 Shin oonikka aylletethafe kessiya polo higgiya akeekan be7idi, kaallidi naagey, si7idayssa dogonna ooson peeshshiya uray, ba ooso ubban anjjettana.
But the person who looks carefully into the perfect law of freedom, and continues to do so, not just being a hearer who forgets, this man will be blessed in his actions.
26 Ba inxarssaa naagonna ammanays giya uray bana cimmees; iya ammanoy hada.
If anyone thinks himself to be religious, but if he does not control his tongue, he deceives his heart, and his religion is worthless.
27 Xoossaa Aawa sinthan borey baynna geeshsha ammanoy hayssa: aaya aawu baynna naytanne am77eta maadonne alamiya tunaappe bana naago.
Religion that is pure and unspoiled before our God and Father is to help the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained by the world.
