Иаков 2
1 Фраций мей, сэ ну цинець крединца Домнулуй ностру Исус Христос, Домнул славей, кэутынд ла фаца омулуй.
My fellow believers, [because] you trust our Lord Jesus Christ, the one who is glorious/wonderful, stop honoring some people more than others.
2 Кэч, де пилдэ, дакэ интрэ ын адунаря воастрэ ун ом ку ун инел де аур ши ку о хайнэ стрэлучитоаре, ши интрэ ши ун сэрак ымбрэкат прост;
[For example], suppose that a person who wears gold rings and fine clothes enters your meeting place. Then suppose that a poor person who wears shabby/ragged clothes also comes in.
3 ши вой пунець окий пе чел че поартэ хайна стрэлучитоаре ши-й зичець: „Ту шезь ын локул ачеста бун!” ши апой зичець сэракулуй: „Ту стай аколо ын пичоаре!” сау: „Шезь жос ла пичоареле меле!”
And [suppose] that you (show special attention to/treat better) the one who is dressed in fine clothes by saying, “Sit here in this good seat!” and you say to the poor one, “Stand there or sit on the floor [MTY]!”
4 Ну фачець вой оаре о деосебире ын вой ыншивэ ши ну вэ фачець вой жудекэторь ку гындурь реле?
Then you have obviously [RHQ] caused divisions in the congregation (OR, you are clearly treating one better than the others, and you are using evil [motives/reasons] to ([evaluate people/decide whether people are important or not])).
5 Аскултаць, пряюбиций мей фраць: н-а алес Думнезеу пе чей че сунт сэрачь ын окий лумий ачестея, ка сэ-й факэ богаць ын крединцэ ши моштениторь ай Ымпэрэцией, пе каре а фэгэдуит-о челор че-Л юбеск?
Listen [to me], my fellow believers whom I love: God has chosen [RHQ] poor people whom [unbelievers consider to] possess nothing of value, [so that he might bless them] greatly [because] they trust [in him], and in order that they will enter the place where [he] will rule [MET] [forever]. That is what he has promised to those who love him.
6 Ши вой ынжосиць пе чел сэрак! Оаре ну богаций вэ асупреск ши вэ тырэск ынаинтя жудекэториилор?
But you dishonor the poor people. Think about it! (It is rich people, [not poor people], who are causing you to suffer!/Isn’t it rich people, [not poor people], who are oppressing you?) [RHQ] (It is [the rich people] who forcibly take you to court [to accuse you in front of judges]!/Is it not [the rich people] who forcibly take you to court [to accuse you in front of judges]?) [RHQ]
7 Ну батжокореск ей фрумосул нуме пе каре-л пуртаць?
(And they are the ones who say evil things about Jesus Christ, the one who is worthy [of praise], to whom you belong!/Are they not the ones who say evil things about Jesus Christ, the one who is worthy [of praise], to whom you belong?) [RHQ]
8 Дакэ ымплиниць Леӂя ымпэрэтяскэ, потривит Скриптурий: „Сэ юбешть пе апроапеле тэу ка пе тине ынсуць”, бине фачець.
In the Scriptures [God has commanded] each of you to love other people like you love yourself. That commandment was [also given] by [Jesus our] King [MTY]. If you [are loving others], you are doing what is right.
9 Дар, дакэ авець ын ведере фаца омулуй, фачець ун пэкат ши сунтець осындиць де Леӂе ка ниште кэлкэторь де леӂе.
But if you honor some people more than others, you are (doing wrong/sinning). And because you [do not do what God commanded us to do], he condemns you [PRS] because you disobey his laws.
10 Кэч чине пэзеште тоатэ Леӂя ши грешеште ынтр-о сингурэ порункэ, се фаче виноват де тоате.
Do not forget that those who disobey only one of God’s laws, even if they obey all [his other] laws, [God considers them] to be [as guilty as anyone who has disobeyed] all [of] God’s [laws].
11 Кэч Чел че а зис: „Сэ ну прякурвешть” а зис ши: „Сэ ну учизь.” Акум, дакэ ну прякурвешть, дар учизь, те фачь кэлкэтор ал Леӂий.
For example, [God] said, “Do not commit adultery,” but he also said, “Do not murder anyone.” [So] if you [(sg)] do not commit adultery but you [(sg)] murder someone, you [(sg)] have become a person who disobeys [God’s] laws.
12 Сэ ворбиць ши сэ лукраць ка ниште оамень каре ау сэ фие жудекаць де о леӂе а слобозенией:
Continually speak and act [toward others] as people should who will be judged {whom [God] will judge} by the law that frees us [from being punished] {[God punishing us]} [for our sins].
13 кэч жудеката есте фэрэ милэ пентру чел че н-а авут милэ; дар мила бируе жудеката.
[Speak and act like that], because when [God] judges us, he will not act mercifully toward those who do not act mercifully toward others. But when we [are] merciful [to others, we can rejoice], because [our being] merciful [shows] that [we are acting like people whom God] has mercifully saved from being judged (OR, [we can rejoice] because [God] will judge us mercifully).
14 Фраций мей, че-й фолосеште куйва сэ спунэ кэ аре крединцэ, дакэ н-аре фапте? Поате оаре крединца ачаста сэ-л мынтуяскэ?
My fellow believers, [there are some people who say], “I believe [in the Lord Jesus Christ],” but they do not do good things [for other people]. (Their saying that will certainly not do them any good!/What good will their saying that do for them?) [RHQ] [God] will certainly not save [people like that who say that they believe, but do not do good things]! [RHQ]
15 Дакэ ун фрате сау о сорэ сунт гой ши липсиць де храна де тоате зилеле
[To illustrate], suppose that fellow believers, either men or women, don’t have enough clothing or food for each day.
16 ши унул динтре вой ле зиче: „Дучеци-вэ ын паче, ынкэлзици-вэ ши сэтураци-вэ!” фэрэ сэ ле дя челе требуинчоасе трупулуй, ла че й-ар фолоси?
And suppose that one of you says to them, “May [God] bless you and supply the clothing and food that you need!” but you [(sg)] do not give them the things that they need. (That would be no help [to them]!/What help is that [to them]?) [RHQ]
17 Тот аша ши крединца, дакэ н-аре фапте, есте моартэ ын еа ынсэшь.
Similarly, [those who do] not do good things [to help others, what they have said about] their believing [in Christ] is [as useless] [MET] [as] a dead person [is useless]. They do not [really believe in Christ].
18 Дар ва зиче чинева: „Ту ай крединца, ши еу ам фаптеле.” Аратэ-мь крединца та фэрэ фапте ши еу ыць вой арэта крединца мя дин фаптеле меле.
But someone may say [to me], “[God saves] some people only [because] they trust [in him], and [he saves] others [because] they do good deeds [to people].” [I would answer that person], “[You(sg) cannot] prove to me that people truly trust [in God if] they do not do good things [for others]. But by doing good things [for others] I will prove to you that I truly trust [in God”]
19 Ту крезь кэ Думнезеу есте унул, ши бине фачь, дар ши драчий кред… ши се ынфиоарэ!
[Think about it]! You believe that there is only one God, and you are right [to believe that]. But the demons also believe that, but they tremble [with fear because they know that God is going to punish them].
20 Врей дар сэ ынцелеӂь, ом несокотит, кэ крединца фэрэ фапте есте задарникэ?
Also, you foolish person, I will [RHQ] prove to you [(sg)] that [if someone says], “I trust [in God],” but he does not do good things, [what that person says] will not benefit him.
21 Авраам, пэринтеле ностру, н-а фост ел сокотит неприхэнит прин фапте кынд а адус пе фиул сэу Исаак жертфэ пе алтар?
(It was certainly [because of] what our [revered] ancestor Abraham did, when he [prepared to] sacrifice his son Isaac, that he was considered [by God] {that [God] considered him} to be a righteous, [obedient] person./Was it not [because of] what our [revered] ancestor Abraham did, when he [prepared to] sacrifice his son Isaac, that he was considered [by God] {that [God] considered him} to be a righteous, [obedient] person?) [RHQ]
22 Везь кэ крединца лукра ымпреунэ ку фаптеле луй ши, прин фапте, крединца а ажунс десэвыршитэ.
You [(sg)] can realize that he was not only trusting [in God], but he was also doing [what God told him to do], and [you(sg) can realize] that he was able to trust [in God more] completely because of having done [what God told him to do].
23 Астфел с-а ымплинит Скриптура каре зиче: „Авраам а крезут пе Думнезеу, ши и с-а сокотит ка неприхэнире” ши ел а фост нумит „приетенул луй Думнезеу”.
And [so it happened as it is written in the] Scriptures: “Because Abraham truly trusted in God, he was considered [by God] to be {[God] considered that he was} righteous.” And [God also] said [about Abraham], “He is my friend.”
24 Ведець дар кэ омул есте сокотит неприхэнит прин фапте, ши ну нумай прин крединцэ.
[From the example of Abraham], you can realize that it is because people do good things that [God] considers them to be righteous, and not only because they trust [in him].
25 Тот аша, курва Рахав н-а фост сокотитэ ши еа неприхэнитэ прин фапте кынд а гэздуит пе соль ши й-а скос афарэ пе алтэ кале?
Similarly, it was certainly [RHQ] [because of] what Rahab did, that [God] considered her to be a righteous, [obedient] person. Rahab was [previously] a prostitute, but she cared for the Israelite men who came [to] ([spy out the land/see what that area was like]) and she [helped them to escape by] sending them home on a different road [from the one that they came on].
26 Дупэ кум трупул фэрэ дух есте морт, тот аша ши крединца фэрэ фапте есте моартэ.
Remember that when our spirits [permanently leave our] bodies, [our bodies] are dead [and useless]. Similarly [SIM], [if someone says], “I trust [in God],” but does not do [things to help others, what that person says about trusting in God] is useless.
