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, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes who are scattered abroad, greeting.
2 Ku ɗauki wannan da farin ciki mai tsabta,’yan’uwana, duk sa’ad da gwaje-gwaje na kowane iri suka zo muku,
My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into various temptations;
3 domin kun san cewa gwajin bangaskiyarku yakan haifi daurewa.
Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience.
4 Dole daurewa ta kammala aikinta don ku zama balagaggu da kuma cikakku, ba ku kuma rasa kome ba.
But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and complete, lacking 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.
If any of you lacketh wisdom, let him ask of God, who giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given to 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, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.
7 Kada irin wannan mutum yă yi tsammani zai sami wani abu daga Ubangiji;
For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing from the Lord.
8 shi mai zuciya biyu ne, marar tsai da zuciyarsa wuri ɗaya a cikin duk abin da yake yi.
A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.
9 Bari ɗan’uwan da yake cikin halin ƙasƙanci yă yi taƙama a matsayinsa na ɗaukaka.
Let the brother of low degree rejoice in that he is exalted:
10 Amma wanda yake mai arziki, ya kamata yă yi taƙama a matsayinsa na ƙasƙanci, gama ba zai daɗe ba kamar furen jeji.
But the rich, in that he is made low: because as the flower of the grass he shall 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 hath no sooner risen with a burning heat, but it withereth the grass, and its flower falleth, and the grace of its fashion perisheth: so also shall the rich man fade 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.
Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him.
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 man say when he is tempted, I am tempted by God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man:
14 amma akan jarrabce kowane mutum sa’ad da muguwar sha’awarsa ta janye shi ta kuma rinjaye shi.
But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away by his own lust, 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 when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.
16 Kada a ruɗe ku,’yan’uwana ƙaunatattu.
Do not err, 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, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.
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 he hath begotten us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures.
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,
Therefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:
20 gama fushin mutum ba ya kawo rayuwar adalcin da Allah yake so.
For the wrath of man worketh 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 put away all filthiness and all that remains of wickedness, and 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 ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.
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 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 beholdeth himself, and goeth away, and immediately forgetteth what manner of man 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 he who looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth in it, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.
26 In wani ya ɗauki kansa mai addini ne duk da haka bai ƙame harshensa ba, ruɗin kansa yake yi addininsa kuwa banza ne.
If any man among you seemeth to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man’s religion 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 before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.
