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, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes who are in the dispersion: Greetings!
2 Ku dauke su duka da farin ciki, 'yan'uwana, duk sa'adda kuke fuskantar jarabobi.
Count [it] all joy, my brothers, when you may fall into manifold temptations,
3 Ku sani cewa gwajin banskiyar ku ta kan haifi jimiri.
knowing that the proof of your faith works endurance,
4 Bari jimiri ya cika aikin sa, domin ku kai ga cikakken girma kuma ku kammalu, domin kada ku rasa komai.
and let the endurance have a perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking 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.
And if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask from God, who is giving to all generously, and not reproaching, and it will 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 let him ask in faith, doubting nothing, for he who is doubting has been like a wave of the sea, driven by wind and tossed;
7 Tilas ne wannan mutum kada ya yi tunanin zai karbi wani abu a wurin Ubangiji.
for do not let that man suppose that he will receive anything from the LORD—
8 Irin wannan mutumin mai zuciya biyu ne, mara tsai da hankali a dukan hanyoyin sa.
a soul-split man [is] unstable in all his ways.
9 Bari dan'uwa matalauci ya yi takama da matsayin sa babba,
And let the brother who is low rejoice in his exaltation,
10 amma mutum mai arziki kuma a kaskantaccen matsayin sa, gama zai shude kamar furen ciyawa na jeji.
but the rich in his becoming low, because he will pass away as a flower of 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 rose with the burning heat, and withered the grass, and the flower of it fell, and the beauty of its appearance perished, so also the rich in his way will fade away!
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 endures temptation, because, becoming approved, he will receive the garland of life, which the LORD promised to those loving 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.
Let no one who is being tempted say, “I am tempted from God,” for God is not tempted by evils, and Himself tempts no one,
14 Amma kowanne mutum yakan sami gwaji daga muguwar sha'awar sa, wadda take janye shi kuma ta rinjaye shi.
but each one is tempted, being led away and enticed by his own desires;
15 Bayan da muguwar sha'awar ta dauki ciki, sai ta haifi zunubi. Kuma bayan da zunubi ya yi girma, yakan haifi mutuwa.
afterward the desire having conceived, gives birth to sin, and sin having been perfected, brings forth death.
16 Kada fa ku yaudaru, 'yan'uwana kaunatattu.
Do not be led astray, my 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 good giving, and every perfect gift, is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variation, or shadow of turning;
18 Allah ya zabi ya haife mu ta wurin maganar gaskiya, domin mu zama kamar nunar fari na dukan halittar sa.
having willed [it], He begot us with a word of truth, for our being a certain first-fruit of 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.
So then, my beloved brothers, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger,
20 Domin fushin mutum ba ya aikata adalcin Allah.
for the wrath of a man does not work the righteousness 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.
for this reason, having put aside all filthiness and superabundance of evil, receive the implanted word in meekness, that is able to save your souls;
22 Ku zama masu aikata maganar, kada ku zama masu jin ta kawai, kuna yaudarar kanku.
and become doers of the word, and not hearers 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.
because, if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, this one has been like to a man viewing his natural face in a mirror,
24 Yakan dubi kansa sai ya tafi, nan da nan kuwa sai ya manta da kamannin sa.
for he viewed himself, and has gone away, and immediately he forgot what kind of [man] he was;
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 looked into [the] perfect law—that of liberty, and continued there, not becoming a forgetful hearer, but a doer of work—this one will be blessed in his doing.
26 Idan wani yana zaton shi mai addini ne, amma bai kame bakinsa ba, yana yaudarar zuciyarsa ne, addinin mutumin nan na banza ne.
If anyone thinks to be religious among you, not bridling his tongue, but deceiving his heart, the religion of this one [is] vain;
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.
religion pure and undefiled with the God and Father is this: to look after orphans and widows in their tribulation—to keep himself unspotted from the world.
