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 in dispersion sendeth greeting.
2 Ku dauke su duka da farin ciki, 'yan'uwana, duk sa'adda kuke fuskantar jarabobi.
Account it all joy, my brethren, when ye fall into various trials:
3 Ku sani cewa gwajin banskiyar ku ta kan haifi jimiri.
knowing this, that the trial of your faith worketh patience;
4 Bari jimiri ya cika aikin sa, domin ku kai ga cikakken girma kuma ku kammalu, domin kada ku rasa komai.
but let patience have it's perfect work, that ye may be entirely perfect, failing 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 lack wisdom, let him ask it of God, who giveth to all men liberally and upbraideth not, and it shall be given 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, nothing doubting; for he that doubteth is like a wave of the sea blown about and tossed by the wind.
7 Tilas ne wannan mutum kada ya yi tunanin zai karbi wani abu a wurin Ubangiji.
Let not that man think that he shall receive any thing from the Lord.
8 Irin wannan mutumin mai zuciya biyu ne, mara tsai da hankali a dukan hanyoyin sa.
A double-minded man is inconstant in all his ways.
9 Bari dan'uwa matalauci ya yi takama da matsayin sa babba,
Let the brother that is low rejoice in his exaltation: but the rich in his humiliation,
10 amma mutum mai arziki kuma a kaskantaccen matsayin sa, gama zai shude kamar furen ciyawa na jeji.
because as the flower of the grass he shall pass away.
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 when the sun is risen with it's sultry heat, it drieth up the grass, and the flower of, it falleth, and the beauty of it's appearance is lost: so shall the rich man fade away in his projects.
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.
Happy is the man who sustaineth temptation; for being approved he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that 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.
Let no one that is tempted say, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted by evils, and He tempteth no one.
14 Amma kowanne mutum yakan sami gwaji daga muguwar sha'awar sa, wadda take janye shi kuma ta rinjaye shi.
But every man is tempted, when drawn aside and insnared by his own vehement desire.
15 Bayan da muguwar sha'awar ta dauki ciki, sai ta haifi zunubi. Kuma bayan da zunubi ya yi girma, yakan haifi mutuwa.
Then desire having conceived bringeth forth sin, and sin when it is finished bringeth forth death.
16 Kada fa ku yaudaru, 'yan'uwana kaunatattu.
Be not therefore deceived, my beloved brethren: for every good gift,
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.
and every perfect gift, but no evil one, is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation, nor shadow of turning:
18 Allah ya zabi ya haife mu ta wurin maganar gaskiya, domin mu zama kamar nunar fari na dukan halittar sa.
who hath of his own will begotten us by the word of truth, that we might be a kind of first-fruits 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.
Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:
20 Domin fushin mutum ba ya aikata adalcin Allah.
for the wrath of man doth not practise 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.
Laying aside therefore all filthiness, and excess of malice, receive with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls.
22 Ku zama masu aikata maganar, kada ku zama masu jin ta kawai, kuna yaudarar kanku.
But be 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.
For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like a man beholding his natural face in a mirror,
24 Yakan dubi kansa sai ya tafi, nan da nan kuwa sai ya manta da kamannin sa.
who beheld himself, and went away, and immediately forgot what manner 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 that looketh well into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.
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 any among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his heart, this man's devotion 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.
Pure and uncorrupt religion before God and our Father is this, to take care of orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.
