Uyakubu 2
1 Anu henu um kati incanti u inko iriba ugomo Asere unu su unice.
My brethren, do not, with respect for persons, be holding the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, [the Lord] of glory.
2 Inka uye maribe udenge udenge ubringara in bi coto ba zumo a balbal in turunga tiriri, unu dira ma ribe inturunga tizenzeng.
For, if there enter into your synagogue a man wearing gold rings in gay clothing, and there enter a destitute man also, in soiled clothing, —
3 Tidi inki iriba a hira una tirunga ti riri, ti gu, cukuno a hira ariri, “i gun una tirunga zenzen” tonno abirko, nani, cukuno adizi a hira atibuna tum.
And ye eye him that hath on the gay clothing, and say, Thou, be sitting here, pleasantly, —and, unto the destitute man, say—Thou, stand, or sit there under my footstool,
4 A zo usuu uni ce nini iwuza ace a shi me ni ba? Ya cukuno anu inko tize tini kubu?
Would ye not have been led to make distinctions among yourselves, and have become judges with wicked reasonings?
5 Kunna ni, anu henu um, daki Asere a zauka unu dira unee ma cukuno unu kem Asere, makem uribe a nyimo Asere, unu suu ume?
Hearken! my brethren beloved: —Hath not, God, chosen the destitute in the world [to be] rich in faith and heirs of the kingdom which he hath promised to them that love him?
6 Shi ya wuza iriba ibit unu dira, azo anu kem wani wa hungu shi uhana udenge u inko utize ba?
Whereas, ye, have dishonoured the destitute man! Do not, the rich, oppress you? and, themselves, drag you into courts of justice?
7 A zo we waniwadi cari niza nigino me sa a tisa shi inn nini ba?
Do not, they, defame the noble name which hath been invoked upon you?
8 In anime inka ya mgwincika u inko utize tigino me ti ugomo Asere kasi ubuka utize ta Asere, “wuna usu uroni tura uwe kasi nice nuwe me”, ya wuza memerum.
If ye are, indeed, fulfilling, a royal law, according to the scripture—Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself, nobly, are ye doing;
9 In ka ya bezi usasas ya wuza madi ma ino me, tize tini kuba ta kem shi unnu cara abangani imum besa a buka shi.
But, if ye are shewing respect of persons, sin, are ye working, being convicted by the law as transgressors!
10 Barki anime de sa ma kaba tize tini kubu, marizo, ma cukuno unu cara abanga ni.
For, a man who shall keep, the whole law, but shall stumble in one thing, hath become, for all things, liable, —
11 De sa ma guna, uda wuza imum ima dini nan na neh ba, ma kuri ma guna, “uda huna uye ba” inka da wa wuza imum izenzzen ba, wa wuza uhuna uni ce, wa cukuno unu cara utize ta Asere.
For, he that hath said—Do not commit adultery, hath also said—Do not commit murder, —now, if thou dost not commit adultery, but dost commit murder, thou hast become a transgressor of law.
12 AAne ani idi boo tize, ane ani idi kuri wuzi, kasi anu age sa adi wuzi tize tini kubu kasi tize tini kubu ti katuma.
So, be speaking, and, so, doing, as they who, through means of a law of freedom, are about to be judged;
13 Tize tini kubu tidira nice tini. A hira ade sa mada tuzo nice nume ba U hirza unice uwuza katuma nan tize tini kubu.
For, the judgment, [will be] without mercy, unto him that hath shewed no mercy: Mercy, boasteth, over judgment.
14 In ka unu makaba tize ta Asere mada wuza katuma ba nyanini ma wuza? nan tize ta Asereti gino me ta bura me?
What profit, my brethren, —if one should be saying he hath, faith, but hath not, works; can his faith save him?
15 Kasi inka uhenu buruma nan uhenu u eh, wazi bihurba wa kuri wa dira imum are ini hiri.
If, a brother or sister, should be naked, and coming short of the daily food,
16 Uye a nyimo a shi me, ma gunan we we dusa ni merum, i kunna utum, m itii, da ya nya we imum in tum ba ya wuna uriri ani me?
And one from among you should say unto them—Withdraw in peace, be getting warmed and fed, but should not give them the things needful for the body, What the profit?
17 A ne ani utunoi a tize ta asere sarki wuza ukatuma uwono unice nin.
So, also, faith, if it have not works, is dead, by itself.
18 U ye madi gu, “huu uziin tize ta Asere, mi izin katuma”, uye madi gu huu uzin tize ta Asere. mi inzin katuma bezum tize ta Asere sarki katuma, mi a hira a katuma kam, mi in bezi we tize ta Asere.
But one will say, —Thou, hast faith, and, I, have works, show me thy faith apart from thy works, and, I, unto thee, will shew, by my works, my faith.
19 Hem Asere a indai ani, wuza merum ibe ibur izinu kira.
Thou believest that God is, one: thou doest, well—Even the demons believe, and shudder!
20 Barki anime inka da rusa ba, unu ubur, tize ta Asere sarki katuma uhuna unice nini.
But art thou willing to learn, O empty man! that, faith, apart from works, is, idle?
21 A zo a hira a katuma kaco uruu Ibrahim sa wa witti Ishaku vana umeme ma nya uwito unice? I
Abraham our father, was it not, by works, he was declared righteous—when he offered Isaac his son upon the altar?
22 rani tize ta Asere ta wuza ta wuza katuma, a hira katuma unya iriba wa mgwinca.
Thou seest that, his faith, had been working together with his works, and by his works did his faith become full-grown, —
23 Tize ta Asere ta mgwinca, tige sa ta guna,” Ibrahim ma hem na Asere, abassa ani me kadura ahira meme, a guna me uroni wa Asere.
And the scripture was fulfilled which saith—And Abraham believed God, And it was reckoned to him as righteousness, and, God’s friend, was he called:
24 Irani a hira katuma kani kani nonzo unu, azo ugongon ba.
Ye see that—by works, a man is declared righteous, and not by faith alone.
25 A hira unu ugino uni, Rahap unee utara ahana ruma makem ukaba barki katuma ka meme, sa ma kabi agenu anu ghunguzuno umanyanga ma suso we a ure unaa ba?
And, in like manner also, Rahab the harlot, Was it not, by works, she was declared righteous, when she gave welcome unto the messengers, and, by another way, urged them forth?
26 Kasi nipum sarki bibe ba Asere ikizi ini, ane aniugongon sarki katuma ikizi ini.
Just as, the body, apart from spirit, is dead, so, our faith also, apart from works, is dead.
