Yaƙub 1
1 Yaƙub, bawan Allah da kuma na Ubangiji Yesu Kiristi, Zuwa ga kabilan nan goma sha biyu, da suke warwartse a cikin al’ummai. Gaisuwa mai yawa.
James, the servant of God and the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes who are in the Dispersion, greeting.
2 Ku ɗauki wannan da farin ciki mai tsabta,’yan’uwana, duk sa’ad da gwaje-gwaje na kowane iri suka zo muku,
Count it all joy, my brethren, when you may fall into manifold temptations.
3 domin kun san cewa gwajin bangaskiyarku yakan haifi daurewa.
Knowing that the trial of your faith works out endurance.
4 Dole daurewa ta kammala aikinta don ku zama balagaggu da kuma cikakku, ba ku kuma rasa kome ba.
But let endurance have its perfect work, in order that you may be perfect and whole in every part, lacking in nothing.
5 In waninku ya rasa hikima, ya kamata yă roƙi Allah, mai bayarwa hannu sake ga kowa ba tare da gori ba, za a kuwa ba shi.
But if any of you lack wisdom, let him ask God, who gives to all cheerfully and upbraids none; and it will be given unto him.
6 Amma sa’ad da ya roƙa, dole yă gaskata, ba tare da shakka ba, domin shi mai shakka, yana kama da raƙumar ruwan tekun da iska take kori tana kuma ɓuɓɓugowa.
But let him ask in faith, doubting as to nothing; for he that doubts is like unto a wave of the sea driven by the winds and tossed by the tempest.
7 Kada irin wannan mutum yă yi tsammani zai sami wani abu daga Ubangiji;
For let not that man think that he will receive anything from the Lord,
8 shi mai zuciya biyu ne, marar tsai da zuciyarsa wuri ɗaya a cikin duk abin da yake yi.
the double-minded man, the most unstable in all his ways.
9 Bari ɗan’uwan da yake cikin halin ƙasƙanci yă yi taƙama a matsayinsa na ɗaukaka.
But let the humble brother boast in his exaltation:
10 Amma wanda yake mai arziki, ya kamata yă yi taƙama a matsayinsa na ƙasƙanci, gama ba zai daɗe ba kamar furen jeji.
and the rich man, in his humility: because as the flower of the grass he will pass away.
11 Gama in rana ta fito ta yi zafi mai tsanani sai ta sa tsiro yă yanƙwane tsiro; furensa yă kakkaɓe, kyansa kuma yă lalace. Haka ma mai arziki zai shuɗe yayinda yake cikin harkarsa.
For the sun with a scorching wind has risen, and dried up the grass, and its flower fell off, and the beauty of its countenance perished: so indeed the rich man will pass away in his ways.
12 Mai albarka ne mutumin da yake daurewa cikin gwaji, gama bayan ya yi nasara da gwajin, zai sami rawanin rai wanda Allah ya yi alkawari ga waɗanda suke ƙaunarsa.
Happy is the man who endures temptation: because, being proved, he will receive a crown of life, which God has promised to those who love him with divine love.
13 Sa’ad da aka jarrabci mutum, kada yă ce, “Allah ne yake jarrabtarsa.” Gama ba ya yiwuwa a jarrabci Allah da mugunta, shi kuma ba ya jarrabtar kowa;
Let no one being tempted say, I am tempted from God. For God can not be tempted with evils, and he tempts no one:
14 amma akan jarrabce kowane mutum sa’ad da muguwar sha’awarsa ta janye shi ta kuma rinjaye shi.
but each one is tempted by his own lusts, being drawn out, and enticed.
15 Sa’an nan, bayan da sha’awar ta yi ciki, takan haifi zunubi; zunubi kuwa, sa’ad da ya balaga yakan haifi mutuwa.
Then the lust, conceiving, brings forth sin; and sin, having been perfected, produces death.
16 Kada a ruɗe ku,’yan’uwana ƙaunatattu.
Be not deceived, my beloved brethren.
17 Kowane abu mai kyau da kuma kowace cikakkiyar kyauta daga sama suke, sun sauko ne daga wurin Uban haskoki, wanda ba sauyawa ko wata alamar sākewa a gare shi faufau.
Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of change.
18 Ya zaɓa yă haife mu ta wurin kalmar gaskiya, domin mu zama’ya’yan fari na dukan abin da ya halitta.
Of his own will begat he us by the word of truth, that we should be some first fruit of his creations.
19 ’Yan’uwana ƙaunatattu, ku lura da wannan. Ya kamata kowa yă kasance mai saurin saurara, ba mai saurin magana ba, ba kuma mai saurin fushi ba,
Know, my beloved brethren; but let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow toward wrath:
20 gama fushin mutum ba ya kawo rayuwar adalcin da Allah yake so.
for the wrath of man works not the righteousness of God.
21 Saboda haka, ku rabu da ƙazamin hali da kuma kowace irin mugunta ku kuma yi na’am da maganar da aka shuka a cikinku da tawali’u, wadda za tă iya cetonku.
Therefore having laid aside all filthiness and excess of evil, receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls.
22 Kada ku zama masu ji kawai, ku ruɗi kanku. A maimakon haka ku zama masu yin abin da ta ce.
But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.
23 Duk wanda yake ji magana ne kawai, bai kuwa aikata abin da ta ce ba, yana kama da mutumin da ya kalli fuskarsa a madubi
For if any one is a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like a man beholding his natural face in a mirror:
24 bayan ya kalli kansa, sa’ad da ya tashi daga wurin, nan da nan sai yă manta da kamanninsa.
for he recognized himself, and has gone away, and immediately forgot what kind he was.
25 Amma duk mai duba cikakkiyar ƙa’idan nan ta’yanci, ya kuma nace a kanta, ya zama ba mai ji ne kawai yă mance ba, sai dai mai yi ne yă zartar, to wannan shi za a yi wa albarka a cikin abin da yake yi.
But the one having looked into the perfect law which is the law of liberty, and having remained in it, not being a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, he shall be happy in his work.
26 In wani ya ɗauki kansa mai addini ne duk da haka bai ƙame harshensa ba, ruɗin kansa yake yi addininsa kuwa banza ne.
But if any one seems to be religious, bridling not his own tongue, but deceiving his own heart, the religion of that man is vain.
27 Addinin da Allah Ubanmu ya yarda da shi a matsayin mai tsabta da kuma marar aibi shi ne, a kula da marayu da gwauraye cikin damuwoyinsu, a kuma kiyaye kai daga lalacin da duniya take sa wa.
Pure religion and undefiled with God even the Father is this, to relieve the orphans and widows in their affliction, and keep himself unspotted from the world.
