James 2
1 Ami laga bhai kokai khan, amikhan laga mohima aru biswas to Probhu Jisu Khrista logote thaka hisab te, apuni kunke bhi pakshapat nadikhabi.
My brethren, hold ye not the faith of the glory of our Lord Jesus the Messiah, with a respect to persons.
2 Jodi kunba apuni khan joma kori thaka jagate suna aru bhal kapra lagai kene ahe, aru ta te ekjon gorib manu bhi letera kapra lagai kene ahe.
For if there come into your assembly a man with rings of gold or splendid garments, and there come in a poor man in sordid garments;
3 Kintu jodi apuni bhal kapra lagai kene thaka ke koi ase, “Apuni yate bhal jagate bohibi,” kintu ekjon gorib ke koi, “Apuni ta te khara koribi” nohoile “Ami laga theng niche matite bohibi,”
and ye show respect to him who is clothed in splendid garments, and say to him, Seat thyself here, conspicuously; while to the poor man, ye say, Stand thou there, or sit thou here before my footstool;
4 apuni khan nijor majote bisar kori ase nohoi? Apuni biya bhabona loi kene bisar kora manu hoi ase nohoi?
are ye not divided among yourselves, and become expositors of evil thoughts?
5 Huni bhi, moi laga morom bhai khan, Isor he prithibi laga gorib ke biswas te dhuni hobole diya nohoi, aru kun manu Taike morom kore taikhan ke Tai laga rajyote jaga diye nohoi?
Hear, my beloved brethren; hath not God chosen the poor of the world, but the rich in faith, to be heirs in the kingdom which God hath promised to them that love him?
6 Kintu apuni gorib ke opman korise! Etu dhuni khan pora he apuni ke dukh diya nohoi? Aru taikhan he apnikhan ke bisar kori bole bisar ghor te loijai nohoi?
But ye have despised the poor man. Do not rich men exalt themselves over you, and drag you before the tribunals?
7 Apnikhan ke kuntu sonman thaka naam Isor pora matise, etu naam ke sorom khilai dise nohoi?
Do they not revile that worthy name, which is invoked upon you?
8 Jodi, apuni, Isor laga niyom mani kene thake, “Apuni laga ghor usorte thaka manu ke nijor nisena morom koribo,” titia apuni bhal kori ase.
And if in this ye fulfill the law of God, as it is written, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself, ye will do well:
9 Kintu jodi apuni bhal pai thaka manu ke he sai, apuni paap kori ase, aru apuni niyom bhangai diya manu ase.
but if ye have respect of persons, ye commit sin; and ye are convicted by the law, as transgressors of the law.
10 Jodi kunba pora niyom pura mane, hoile bhi tai chutu jaga ekta te giri jai, titia tai pura niyom bhangai diya manu hoise.
For he that shall keep the whole law, and yet fail in one precept, is obnoxious to the whole law.
11 Kelemane etu ekjon kun eneka koise, “Bebichari nokoribi,” tai pora etu bhi koise, “Manu ke morai nadibi.” Kintu jodi apuni bebichari nakore, kintu manu ke morai diye, titia hoile apuni niyom bhanga manu ase.
For he who said, Thou shalt not commit adultery, said also, Thou shalt not kill. If then thou commit no adultery, but thou killest, thou hast become a transgressor of the law.
12 Etu karone amikhan ke mukti diya niyom pora bisar kori bole thaka nimite, ki koi ase etu nijor pora bhi koribi.
So speak ye, and so act, as persons that are to be judged by the law of liberty.
13 Kelemane kun pora daya nadikhai, bisar to etu manu uporte ahe. Daya he bisar uporte jiti loi.
For judgment without mercy shall be on him, who hath practised no mercy: by mercy, ye will be raised above judgment.
14 Ki bhal ase, moi laga bhai khan, jodi kunba manu koi tai logote biswas ase, kintu tai logote kaam to nai? Titia hoile etu biswas pora taike bacha bole paribo?
What is the use, my brethren, if a man say, I have faith; and he hath no works? can his faith vivify him?
15 Jodi ekjon bhai aru bhoini biya kapra lagai kene ase aru khabole nimite napai kene thaki ase.
Or if a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food,
16 Etiya ekjon pora taikhan ke eneka koise, “Shanti pora jabi, bhorta hoi kene bhal pora thakibi.” Kintu jodi apuni taikhan laga gaw pora ki lage etu nadiye, titia hoile ki bhal ase?
and one of you say to them, Go in peace, warm yourselves, and be full; and ye give them not the necessaries of the body, what is the use?
17 Etu nisena biswas tai nijor pora, kaam nathakile, mora ase.
So also faith alone, without works, is dead.
18 Kunba pora eneka kobole pare, “Apuni logote biswas ase, aru moi logote kaam ase.” Apuni kaam nathaki kene biswas to dikhai dibi, aru moi laga kaam pora apuni ke biswas to dikhai dibo.
For a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works; show to me thy faith that is without works; and I will show to thee, my faith by my works.
19 Apuni biswas kore ki Isor ekta ase; apuni bhal pora jane. Saitan khan bhi etu jane, aru taikhan bhoi pora kape.
Thou believest that there is one God; thou dost well; the demons also believe, and tremble.
20 Kintu apuni janibole mon ase, murkho manu khan, biswas logote kaam nathakile eku labh nai?
Wouldst thou know, O frail man, that faith without works is dead?
21 Amikhan laga baba Abraham pora jitia tai laga chokra Isaac ke daan dibole nimite thakise, tai laga kaam pora taike thik korise nohoi?
Abraham our father, was not he justified by works, in offering his son Isaac upon the altar?
22 Apuni sabi tai laga biswas aru kaam eke logote kaam korise. Aru kaam pora he biswas to thik korise.
Seest thou, that his faith aided his works; and that by the works his faith was rendered complete?
23 Isor laga kotha eneka koi kene pura hoise, “Kintu Abraham Isor ke biswas korise, aru etu pora tai dharmik ase koi kene manise,” aru taike Isor laga sathi matise.
And the scripture was fulfilled, which saith: Abraham believed in God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness, and he was called the Friend of God.
24 Apuni sabi, ekjon manu ke khali biswas ekela pora nohoi, kintu biswas logote kaam pora he taike thik kore.
Thou seest, that by works a man is justified, and not by faith alone.
25 Kintu etu nisena pora he, Rahab bhi tai laga kaam pora bisar kora nai naki, jitia tai Isor manu khan ke matise aru dusra rasta pora pathai dise?
So also Rahab, the harlot, was not she justified by works, when she entertained the spies, and sent them forth by another way?
26 Jineka ekta gaw te atma nathakile gaw to mora ase, etu nisena biswas logote kaam nathakile etu biswas to mora ase.
As the body without the spirit, is dead; so faith without works, is dead also.
