Santiago 1
1 Ni Santiago, nga adipen ti Dios ken ti Apo a ni Jesu-Cristo, kadagiti sangapulo ket dua a tribu iti Pannakaiwara-wara, kablaaw.
Iames a seruant of God, and of the Lord Iesus Christ, to the twelue Tribes, which are scattered abroade, salutation.
2 Ibilangyo amin a rag-o, kakabsatko, no makapadaskayo iti nadumaduma a pakariribukan,
My brethren, count it exceeding ioy, when ye fall into diuers tentations,
3 nga ammoyo a iti pannakasuot ti pammatiyo ket mangpataud iti panagibtur.
Knowing that ye trying of your faith bringeth forth patience,
4 Palubosanyo a leppasen ti panagibtur ti trabahona, tapno agbalinkayo koma a naan-anay a nataengan, nga awan pagkuranganna.
And let patience haue her perfect worke, that ye may be perfect and entier, lacking nothing.
5 Ngem no kasapulan ti siasinoman kadakayo ti kinasirib, dawatenna daytoy manipud iti Dios, ti sibubuslon a mangmangted ken saan a mangtubtubngar kadagiti amin a dumawat ket ipaaynanto daytoy.
If any of you lacke wisedome, let him aske of God, which giueth to all men liberally, and reprocheth no man, and it shalbe giuen him.
6 Ngem dumawatkayo nga addaan iti pammati, nga awanan iti panagduadua, ta ti agduadua ket kasla dalluyon idiay baybay, iturturong iti angin ken maipalpalladaw iti aglawlaw.
But let him aske in faith, and wauer not: for hee that wauereth, is like a waue of the sea, tost of the winde, and caried away.
7 Ta masapul a saan a panunoten dayta a tao a maawatnanto ti kiddawna iti Apo;
Neither let that man thinke that hee shall receiue any thing of the Lord.
8 ti kasta a tao ket agduadua ti panunotna, saan a natalna kadagiti amin a wagasna.
A double minded man is vnstable in all his waies.
9 Ti nakurapay a kabsat ket agrag-o koma iti nangato a kasasaadna,
Let the brother of lowe degree reioyce in that he is exalted:
10 kabayatan a ti nabaknang a kabsat iti kinapakumbabana, gapu ta mapukawto isuna a kasla iti panagpukaw ti atap a sabong iti talon.
Againe hee that is rich, in that hee is made lowe: for as the flower of the grasse, shall he vanish away.
11 Sumingising ti init nga addaan iti makasinit a pudot ket laylayenna ti mula, ket matinnag ti sabong ket matay ti pintasna. Iti isu met laeng a wagas, mapukawto dagiti nabaknang a tattao iti tengnga dagiti ar-aramidenda.
For as when the sunne riseth with heate, then the grasse withereth, and his flower falleth away, and the goodly shape of it perisheth: euen so shall the rich man wither away in all his waies.
12 Nagasat ti tao a makaibtur iti pannakasuot, ta kalpasan a malasatanna ti suot, awatennanto ti balangat ti biag, a naikari kadagiti agay-ayat iti Dios.
Blessed is ye man, that endureth tentation: for when he is tried, hee shall receiue the crowne of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that loue him.
13 Awan koma iti mangibaga inton masulisog isuna, “Daytoy a sulisog ket naggapu iti Dios,” gapu ta saan a nasulisog ti Dios babaen iti dakes, ken ti Dios mismo ket saan a mangsulsulisog iti siasinoman.
Let no man say when hee is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God can not bee tempted with euill, neither tempteth he any man.
14 Masulisog ti tunggal tao babaen iti bukodna a dakes a tartarigagay a mangal-allukoy ken mang-guyguyod kenkuana a paadayo.
But euery man is tempted, when hee is drawen away by his owne concupiscence, and is entised.
15 Ket kalpasan a maiyinaw ti managbasol a tartarigagay, maipasngay ti basol, ken kalpasan a dimmakkel a naan-anay ti basol ibungana ti patay.
Then when lust hath conceiued, it bringeth foorth sinne, and sinne when it is finished, bringeth foorth death.
16 Saankayo a paallilaw, ay-ayatek a kakabsat.
Erre not, my deare brethren.
17 Ti tunggal nasayaat a sagut ken tunggal naan-anay a sagut ket manipud idiay ngato, a bumabbaba manipud iti Ama dagiti lawag. Saan nga agbalbaliw isuna a kasla kadagiti agsukat-sukat nga aniniwan.
Euery good giuing, and euery perfect gift is from aboue, and commeth downe from the Father of lights, with whome is no variablenes, neither shadow of turning.
18 Pinili ti Dios nga ikkannatayo iti biag babaen iti sao iti kinapudno, tapno agbalintayo a kasla dagiti umuna a bunga kadagiti pinarsuana.
Of his owne will begate hee vs with the woorde of trueth, that we shoulde be as the first fruites of his creatures.
19 Ammoyo daytoy, ay-ayatek a kakabsat. Masapul a nasiglat a dumngeg ti tunggal tao, nainnayad nga agsao, ken saan a nalaka a makaunget,
Wherefore my deare brethren, let euery man be swift to heare, slowe to speake, and slowe to wrath.
20 ta ti unget ti tao ket saanna a tungpalen ti kinalinteg iti Dios.
For the wrath of man doeth not accomplish the righteousnesse of God.
21 Ngarud ikkatenyo amin a managbasol a rugit ken ti dakes nga adda iti sadinoman, ken iti kinapakumbaba awaten ti naimula a sao, nga isu ti makaisalakan kadagiti kararuayo.
Wherefore lay apart all filthinesse, and superfluitie of maliciousnesse, and receiue with meekenes the word that is graffed in you, which is able to saue your soules.
22 Agtulnogkayo iti sao, saanyo laeng a denggen daytoy, nga al-allilawenyo dagiti bukodyo a bagi.
And be ye doers of the word, and not hearers onely, deceiuing your owne selues.
23 Ta no mangngeg ti siasinoman ti sao ken saanna nga aramiden daytoy, maiyarig isuna iti maysa a tao a mangkitkita iti rupana iti sarming.
For if any heare the woorde, and doe it not, he is like vnto a man, that beholdeth his naturall face in a glasse.
24 Kitkitaenna ti rupana, ken pumanaw ket malipatanna a dagus ti langana.
For when he hath considered himselfe, hee goeth his way, and forgetteth immediately what maner of one he was.
25 Ngem ti tao a kumita a siaannad iti naan-anay a linteg, ti linteg iti wayawaya, ken agtultuloy nga agtultulnog iti daytoy, saan laeng a kas dumdumngeg a malipatanna, mabendisionanto daytoy a tao kas aramidenna daytoy.
But who so looketh in the perfect Lawe of libertie, and continueth therein, hee not being a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the woorke, shalbe blessed in his deede.
26 No panunoten ti siasinoman a relihioso isuna, ngem saanna a tengngelen ti dilana, al-allilawenna ti pusona ken awan serbi ti relihionna.
If any man amog you seeme religious, and refraineth not his tongue, but deceiueth his owne heart, this mans religion is vaine.
27 Ti nadalus ken saan a narugitan a relihion iti sangoanan ti Dios ken Amatayo ket daytoy: ti panangtulong kadagiti awanan ti ama ken kadagiti balo a babbai iti panagrigatda, ken ti mangsalaknib iti bagi manipud iti panangdadael iti lubong.
Pure religion and vndefiled before God, euen the Father, is this, to visite the fatherlesse, and widdowes in their aduersitie, and to keepe himselfe vnspotted of the world.
