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 which are in the Diaspora: Greetings.
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 brothers, when you encounter various trials,
3 domin kun san cewa gwajin bangaskiyarku yakan haifi daurewa.
knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance.
4 Dole daurewa ta kammala aikinta don ku zama balagaggu da kuma cikakku, ba ku kuma rasa kome ba.
Let endurance have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, 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 lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all generously and without finding fault; and it will 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, without any doubting, for the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, driven and tossed by the wind.
7 Kada irin wannan mutum yă yi tsammani zai sami wani abu daga Ubangiji;
For let that person not 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.
He is a double-minded person, unstable in all his ways.
9 Bari ɗan’uwan da yake cikin halin ƙasƙanci yă yi taƙama a matsayinsa na ɗaukaka.
But let the brother in humble circumstances glory in his high position;
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, in that he is made humble, because like the flower in 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 arises with the scorching wind, and withers the grass, and the flower in it falls, and the beauty of its appearance perishes. So also will the rich person fade away in his pursuits.
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 one who perseveres under trial, for when he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life, which he promised to those who 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 one say when he is tempted, "I am tempted by God," for God cannot be tempted by evil, and he himself 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, 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 the lust, when it has conceived, bears sin; and the sin, when it is full grown, brings forth death.
16 Kada a ruɗe ku,’yan’uwana ƙaunatattu.
Do not be deceived, my beloved brothers.
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.
All generous giving and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom can be no variation, nor turning shadow.
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 brought us forth by the word of truth, that we should be a kind of first fruits 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,
This you know, my beloved brothers. But let every person be swift to hear, slow to speak, and slow to anger;
20 gama fushin mutum ba ya kawo rayuwar adalcin da Allah yake so.
for human anger does not produce 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, putting away all filthiness and overflowing of wickedness, receive with humility the implanted 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 only hearers, deluding 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 anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like someone looking at 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 sees himself, and goes away, and immediately forgets what kind of person 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 looks into the perfect Law of freedom, and continues, not being a hearer who forgets, but a doer of the work, this person will be blessed in what he does.
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 anyone thinks himself to be religious while he does not control his tongue, but deceives his heart, this one's religion is worthless.
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 our God and Father is this: to visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained by the world.
