Yaƙub 2
1 Ya ku 'yan'uwana, muddin kuna rike da bangaskiyar ku ga Ubangijinmu Yesu Almasihu, Ubangijin daukaka, kada ku nuna bambanci ga wadansu mutane.
My brothers, do not hold the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ of glory with partiality.
2 Idan wani mutum ya halarci taron ku da zobban zinariya da tufafi masu kyau, wani matalauci kuma ya shigo da tufafi marasa tsabta.
For if someone with a gold ring, in fine clothing, comes into your synagogue, and a poor person in filthy clothing also comes in;
3 Sa'adda kuka kula da mai tufafi masu kyau nan, har kuka ce masa, “Idan ka yarda ka zauna a nan wuri mai kyau,'' mataulacin nan kuwa kuka ce masa, “Kai ka tsaya daga can,” ko kuwa, “Zauna a nan kasa a gaba na,”
and you pay special attention to the one who wears the fine clothing, and say, "Sit here in a good place;" but you tell the poor person, "Stand there," or "Sit by my footstool."
4 Ashe ba kuna zartar da hukunci a tsakanin ku ba ke nan? Ba kun zama alkalai na mungayen tunani kenan ba?
Have you not discriminated among yourselves, and become judges with evil thoughts?
5 Ku saurara, ya 'yan'uwana kaunatattu, ashe, Allah bai zabi matalautan duniyar nan su zama mawadata cikin bangaskiya ba, su kuma zama magada a cikin mulkin nan da ya yi wa masu kaunar sa alkawari ba?
Listen, my beloved brothers. Did not God choose those who are poor in this world to be rich in faith, and heirs of the Kingdom which he promised to those who love him?
6 Amma, kun wulakanta matalauta! Ashe, ba masu arzikin ne suke matsa maku ba? Ba su ne kuwa suke jan ku zuwa gaban shari'a ba?
But you have dishonored the poor person. Do not the rich oppress you, and personally drag you before the courts?
7 Ba kuma sune ke sabon sunan nan mai girma da ake kiran ku da shi ba?
Do not they blaspheme the honorable name by which you are called?
8 Duk da haka, idan kuka cika muhimmiyar shari'ar da nassi ya ce, “Ka kaunaci makwabcin ka kamar kanka,” to, madalla.
However, if you fulfill the royal law, according to the Scripture, "You are to love your neighbor as yourself," you do well.
9 Amma in kun nuna bambanci, kun yi zunubi kenan, shari'a ta same ku da laifin keta umarni.
But if you show partiality, you commit sin, being convicted by the law as transgressors.
10 Duk wanda yake kiyaye dukan shari'a, amma ya yi tuntube a hanya daya kadai, ya sabi shari'a gaba daya ke nan.
For whoever keeps the whole law, and yet stumbles in one point, he has become guilty of all.
11 Domin wanda ya ce, “Kada ka yi zina,” shi ne kuma ya ce, “Kada ka yi kisan kai.” Idan ba ka yi zina ba amma ka yi kisan kai, ai, ka zama mai taka shari'a kenan.
For he who said, "Do not commit adultery," also said, "Do not commit murder." Now if you do not commit adultery, but murder, you have become a transgressor of the law.
12 Saboda haka, ku yi magana ku kuma yi aiki kamar wadanda za a hukunta ta wurin 'yantacciyar shari'a.
So speak, and so do, as those who are to be judged by a law of freedom.
13 Gama hukunci yana zuwa ba tare da jinkai ba ga wadanda ba su nuna jinkai. Jinkai ya yi nasara a kan hukunci.
For judgment is without mercy to him who has shown no mercy. Mercy triumphs over judgment.
14 Ina amfanin haka, 'yan'uwana, idan wani ya ce yana da bangaskiya, kuma ba shi da ayyuka? Wannan bangaskiyar ba za ta cece shi ba, ko za ta iya?
What good is it, my brothers, if someone says he has faith, but has no works? Can faith save him?
15 Misali, idan wani dan'uwa ko 'yar'uwa ba su da tufa mai kyau ko suna rashin abincin yini.
And if a brother or sister is poorly clothed and may be lacking in daily food,
16 Misali, idan waninku kuma ya ce masu, “Ku tafi cikin salama, ku kasance da dumi ku koshi.” Idan baku ba su abubuwan da jiki ke bukata ba, ina amfanin wannnan?
and one of you tells them, "Go in peace, be warmed and filled;" and yet you did not give them the things the body needs, what good is it?
17 Haka ma, bangaskiya ita kadai, ba tare da aikin da ya nuna ta ba, matacciya ce.
Even so faith, if it has no works, is dead in itself.
18 To, wani zai ce, “Ai, kai kana da bangaskiya, ni kuwa ina da ayyuka.” Nuna mani bangaskiyar ka ba tare da ayyuka ba, ni kuma in nuna maka bangaskiya ta ta wurin ayyuka na.
But someone will say, "You have faith, and I have works." Show me your faith without works, and I by my works will show you my faith.
19 Ka gaskanta cewa Allah daya ne; ka yi daidai. Amma ko aljannu ma sun gaskata, kuma suna rawar jiki.
You believe that God is one. You do well. The demons also believe, and shudder.
20 Kana so ka sani, kai marar azanci, cewa bangaskiya ba tare da ayyuka ba banza ce?
But do you want to know, foolish person, that faith apart from works is useless?
21 Ba an baratar da Ibrahim mahaifinmu ta wurin ayyuka ba, sa'adda ya mika Ishaku dansa a bisa bagadi?
Wasn't Abraham our father justified by works, in that he offered up Isaac his son on the altar?
22 Ka gani, ashe, bangaskiyar sa ta yi aiki da ayyukan sa, kuma da cewa ta wurin ayyuka bangaskiyar sa ta ginu sosai.
You see that faith worked with his works, and by works faith was perfected;
23 Nassi kuma ya cika da ya ce, “Ibrahim ya gaskata Allah, aka kuma lisafta masa ita a matsayin adalci.” Aka kuma kira shi abokin Allah.
and the Scripture was fulfilled which says, "And Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness;" and he was called the friend of God.
24 Kun ga, ta wurin ayyuka ne mutum yake samu baratarwa ba ta wurin bangaskiya kadai ba.
You see that a person is justified by works and not by faith alone.
25 Ta wannan hanyar kuma, ba Rahab karuwar nan ta samu baratarwa ta wurin ayyuka, da ta marabci masu leken asirin nan ta fitar da su ta wata hanya dabam ba?
In like manner was not Rahab the prostitute also justified by works, in that she received the messengers, and sent them out another way?
26 Kamar yadda jiki idan ba tare da ruhu ba matacce ne, haka kuma, bangaskiya ba tare da ayyuka ba matacciya ce.
For as the body apart from the spirit is dead, even so faith apart from works is dead.
