Yaƙub 1
1 Yakubu, bawan Allah, da kuma Ubangiji Yesu Almasihu, zuwa ga kabilun nan goma sha biyu da suke warwatse: ina gaishe ku.
James, servant of God and of our Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes of the dispersion, greetings.
2 Ku dauke su duka da farin ciki, 'yan'uwana, duk sa'adda kuke fuskantar jarabobi.
My brothers, when you have fallen into various trials, consider everything a joy,
3 Ku sani cewa gwajin banskiyar ku ta kan haifi jimiri.
knowing that the proving of your faith exercises patience,
4 Bari jimiri ya cika aikin sa, domin ku kai ga cikakken girma kuma ku kammalu, domin kada ku rasa komai.
and patience brings a work to perfection, so that you may be perfect and whole, deficient in nothing.
5 Amma idan waninku yana bukatar hikima, sai ya roki Allah, wanda yake bayarwa a yalwace, ba tare da gori ba ga duk wanda ya roke shi, zai kuwa ba shi.
But if anyone among you is in need of wisdom, let him petition God, who gives abundantly to all without reproach, and it shall be given to him.
6 Amma fa sai ya roka da banskiya ba tare da shakka ba, don mai shakka kamar rakumin ruwan teku yake, wanda iska take korarwa tana tunkudawa.
But he should ask with faith, doubting nothing. For he who doubts is like a wave on the ocean, which is moved about by the wind and carried away;
7 Tilas ne wannan mutum kada ya yi tunanin zai karbi wani abu a wurin Ubangiji.
then a man should not consider that he would receive anything from the Lord.
8 Irin wannan mutumin mai zuciya biyu ne, mara tsai da hankali a dukan hanyoyin sa.
For a man who is of two minds is inconstant in all his ways.
9 Bari dan'uwa matalauci ya yi takama da matsayin sa babba,
Now a humble brother should glory in his exaltation,
10 amma mutum mai arziki kuma a kaskantaccen matsayin sa, gama zai shude kamar furen ciyawa na jeji.
and a rich one, in his humiliation, for he will pass away like the flower of the grass.
11 Domin rana na bullowa da zafi mai konarwa kuma ya busar da ciyawa. Furen ya fadi, kuma kyaun sa ya lalace. Haka ma, mai arziki zai bushe yana cikin tsakiyar tafiyarsa.
For the sun has risen with a scorching heat, and has dried the grass, and its flower has fallen off, and the appearance of its beauty has perished. So also will the rich one wither away, according to his paths.
12 Albarka ta tabbata ga mutum mai jurewa da gwaji. Domin in ya jure gwajin, zai sami rawanin rai, wanda aka yi alkawarin sa ga wadanda ke kaunar Allah.
Blessed is the man who suffers temptation. For when he has been proven, he shall receive the crown of life which God has promised to those who love him.
13 Kada wani ya ce idan aka gwada shi, ''Wannan gwaji daga wurin Allah ne,'' domin ba a gwada Allah da mugunta, shi kan sa kuwa ba ya gwada kowa.
No one should say, when he is tempted, that he was tempted by God. For God does not entice toward evils, and he himself tempts no one.
14 Amma kowanne mutum yakan sami gwaji daga muguwar sha'awar sa, wadda take janye shi kuma ta rinjaye shi.
Yet truly, each one is tempted by his own desires, having been enticed and drawn away.
15 Bayan da muguwar sha'awar ta dauki ciki, sai ta haifi zunubi. Kuma bayan da zunubi ya yi girma, yakan haifi mutuwa.
Thereafter, when desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin. Yet truly sin, when it has been consummated, produces death.
16 Kada fa ku yaudaru, 'yan'uwana kaunatattu.
And so, do not choose to go astray, my most beloved brothers.
17 Kowace kyakkyawar baiwa, da kowace cikakkiyar baiwa daga sama take. Ta sauko ne daga wurin Uban haskoki. Wanda babu sauyawa ko wata alamar sakewa kamar yadda inuwa ke yi.
Every excellent gift and every perfect gift is from above, descending from the Father of lights, with whom there is no change, nor any shadow of alteration.
18 Allah ya zabi ya haife mu ta wurin maganar gaskiya, domin mu zama kamar nunar fari na dukan halittar sa.
For by his own will he produced us through the Word of truth, so that we might be a kind of beginning among his creatures.
19 Kun san wannan, 'yan'uwana kaunatattu: bari kowanne mutum ya yi hanzarin kasa kunne, da jinkirin yin magana, da kuma jinkirin yin fushi.
You know this, my most beloved brothers. So let every man be quick to listen, but slow to speak and slow to anger.
20 Domin fushin mutum ba ya aikata adalcin Allah.
For the anger of man does not accomplish the justice of God.
21 Saboda haka, sai ku yar da kowanne irin aikin kazanta da yalwar mugunta. A cikin tawali'u ku karbi dassashiyar maganar, wadda ke iya ceton rayukan ku.
Because of this, having cast away all uncleanness and an abundance of malice, receive with meekness the newly-grafted Word, which is able to save your souls.
22 Ku zama masu aikata maganar, kada ku zama masu jin ta kawai, kuna yaudarar kanku.
So be doers of the Word, and not listeners only, deceiving yourselves.
23 Domin duk wanda ya ke mai jin maganar ne kawai, ba mai aikatawa ba, kamar mutum yake mai duba fuskarsa a madubi.
For if anyone is a listener of the Word, but not also a doer, he is comparable to a man gazing into a mirror upon the face that he was born with;
24 Yakan dubi kansa sai ya tafi, nan da nan kuwa sai ya manta da kamannin sa.
and after considering himself, he went away and promptly forgot what he had seen.
25 Amma duk mai duba shari'ar da bin ka'idar nan ta 'yanci, ya kuma nace biyayya da ita, ba zai zama kamar wanda zai ji ya manta ba, wannan mutum zai zama da albarka a cikin abin da yake yi.
But he who gazes upon the perfect law of liberty, and who remains in it, is not a forgetful hearer, but instead a doer of the work. He shall be blessed in what he does.
26 Idan wani yana zaton shi mai addini ne, amma bai kame bakinsa ba, yana yaudarar zuciyarsa ne, addinin mutumin nan na banza ne.
But if anyone considers himself to be religious, but he does not restrain his tongue, but instead seduces his own heart: such a one’s religion is vanity.
27 Addini sahihi kuma marar aibi a gaban Allahnmu da Ubanmu, shine a kula da gwauraye da marayu a cikin kuntatar su, kuma mutum ya kebe kansa ya zama marar aibi daga duniya.
This is religion, clean and undefiled before God the Father: to visit orphans and widows in their tribulations, and to keep yourself immaculate, apart from this age.
