Yakobis 1
1 Sodꞌa-moleꞌ mia au, Yakobis. Au ia, Lamatualain no hita malanggan Yesus Kristus, atahori dedenun. Au suraꞌ susura ia fee hei atahori Yahudi, mana tungga Lamatuaꞌ Yesus, mana leo-lao sia bee-bꞌee.
James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad, greeting.
2 Toronoo nggare! Au ae ufadꞌe taꞌo ia: mete ma ama hambu sususaꞌ mataꞌ-mataꞌ, na, afiꞌ masaloe. Simbo no rala nemehoꞌot, te dei fo bꞌuna bꞌoan maloleꞌ.
My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations;
3 Te ata bubꞌuluꞌ tae, mete ma see naꞌatataaꞌ sia sususaꞌ, losa nasenggiꞌ sosobꞌa-dꞌodꞌouꞌ a, ma feꞌe mimihere mikindoo neu Lamatuaꞌ, naa tao nggi bꞌau matu-matu mete ma hambu sosobꞌaꞌ laen.
Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience.
4 Dadꞌi ama afiꞌ mimitau sususaꞌ. Te ama minori miꞌitataaꞌ sia sususaꞌ losa ama dadꞌi matetuꞌ. No taꞌona, nemehere mara boe naꞌoka nahereꞌ sia Lamatuaꞌ, de nda toꞌa taa esa saa boe.
But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.
5 Mete ma hei ruma mimedꞌa nda hambu dalaꞌ fo miꞌitataaꞌ mia sususaꞌ sa, hei mitane mbali Lamatuaꞌ mana nahine basaꞌ e. Eni mana natudꞌu dalaꞌ fee nggi. Eni mana fee nggi dudꞌuꞌa maloleꞌ no rala nemehoꞌot, ma nda namanasa nggi sa, mete ma hei moꞌe mbali E.
If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.
6 Mete ma moꞌe mia E, afi moꞌe no rala seseriꞌ. Hei musi mimihere tebꞌe-tebꞌeꞌ mae Ana bisa fee saa fo hei moꞌeꞌ a. Te atahori mana roꞌe no rala seseriꞌ, ana onaꞌ ree fo anin fuu e rae-ata nda natetu-nandaa sa.
But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.
7 Atahori se ralan nabꞌabꞌanggi no mudaꞌ onaꞌ naa, ana nda matetuꞌ sia basa dalaꞌ ra sa. Afiꞌ mimihena mae ana hambu saa-saa mia Lamatuaꞌ e boe.
For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord.
A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.
9 Atahori mana tudꞌa-loloeꞌ mana namahere neu Lamatuaꞌ Yesus, musi ramahoꞌo, huu Lamatualain soꞌu nala se dadꞌi bobꞌonggin ena.
Let the brother of low degree rejoice in that he is exalted:
10 Ma atahori mamasuꞌiꞌ mana ramahere neu Lamatuaꞌ Yesus ena, ara o musi tao ralan nara ramahoꞌo, huu Lamatuaꞌ nanori se afiꞌ koao. Ia naa rahine rae, dei fo suꞌi nara mana sambulaloꞌ, onaꞌ bunaꞌ sia lasi a nabꞌuna meulau, te nda doo sa ma relo a haa e, de ana male. Atahori mamasuꞌiꞌ ra o onaꞌ naa boe. Mae sira rasambute ro tatao-nonoꞌi nara, te sira o mana sambulaloꞌ boe.
But the rich, in that he is made low: because as the flower of the grass he shall pass away.
For the sun is no sooner risen with a burning heat, but it withereth the grass, and the flower thereof falleth, and the grace of the fashion of it perisheth: so also shall the rich man fade away in his ways.
12 Lamatuaꞌ fee papala-babꞌanggiꞌ neu atahori mana naꞌatataaꞌ mia sosobꞌaꞌ a losa nasenggiꞌ. Ma ana simbo nala hahambu masoi-masodꞌaꞌ fo Lamatuaꞌ helu basa fee neu atahori mana sue E. Ana simbo hahambun onaꞌ atahori mana nasenggiꞌ a hambu beker.
Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him.
13 Misinedꞌa malolole! Mete ma hei ruma hambu sosobꞌaꞌ ma mae tao salaꞌ, afiꞌ rundu mae, “Lamatuaꞌ nae sobꞌa au” Te Lamatualain nda hii-nau tao salaꞌ sa. Ana o nda sobꞌa atahori fo atahori naa hii tao salaꞌ sa.
Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man:
14 Te salaꞌ nema mia atahori ralan. Fefeun, ralan nau tao deꞌulakaꞌ, de basa ma ana sangga dalaꞌ nae tao deꞌulakaꞌ.
But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed.
15 Boe ma ana tao, tungga dudꞌuꞌa deꞌulakan nakandondooꞌ a. Mateteꞌen, Lamatualain naꞌondaꞌ huku-dꞌoki mamates neu atahori mana tao deꞌulakaꞌ.
Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.
16 Toronoo susueꞌ re! Afiꞌ neneꞌediꞌ soꞌal dalaꞌ ia ra.
Do not err, my beloved brethren.
17 Dꞌala deꞌulakaꞌ ra nda mia Lamatuaꞌ sa. Te ana mana fee basa papala-babꞌanggi maloleꞌ ma basa dꞌala meumareꞌ. Eni mana naꞌadꞌadꞌadꞌiꞌ relo, fulan, ma nduuꞌ ra. Basa se lali-laliꞌ sia lalai, naa de salao nara ubꞌa-ubꞌa rakandooꞌ a. Akaꞌ a Lamatualain nda mana ubꞌaꞌ sa.
Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.
18 Lamatuaꞌ hihii-nanaun fee hita taꞌo ia: Ana fee dedꞌea-oꞌola matetun nema hita. Ma Ana pake dedꞌea-oꞌolan naa, fo fee hita masodꞌaꞌ. Ana pili nala hita dadꞌi mbule-uluꞌ mia basa saa, fo Ana naꞌadadꞌiꞌ sia raefafoꞌ ia.
Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures.
19 Toronoo susue nggare! Misinedꞌa, e! Malolen taꞌo ia: afiꞌ sadꞌiꞌ a olaꞌ a. Malole lenaꞌ, mete ma atahori olaꞌ maloleꞌ, na, nenene malolole dei! Ma afi haelai miminasa.
Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:
20 Te mete ma miminasa, na, ama nda bisa tao dꞌala maloleꞌ tungga Lamatualain hihiin sa.
For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God.
21 Dadꞌi ama musi nggari hendi basa sala-kilu mara. Onaꞌ atahori raue-rameu tine-osi nara, ma dedꞌe hendi manggarauꞌ ra. Hei o musi simbo Lamatuaꞌ hara-liin no rala neloe-nedꞌaeꞌ. Hara-liiꞌ naa ra onaꞌ fini neneselaꞌ sia rala mara. Mete ma ama tao taꞌo naa, dei fo Lamatuaꞌ mboꞌi hendi nggi mia basa sala-kilu mara, ma simbo nggi fo misodꞌa mikindoo mo E.
Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls.
22 Mete ma ama mihine Lamatuaꞌ hara-liin, na, tao tungga e. Afiꞌ renaꞌ a! Mete ma hei renaꞌ a, te nda tao tungga sa, hei eꞌedik baliꞌ ao mara.
But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.
23 Mete ma atahori rena basa hara-liiꞌ naa ra, te nda tao tungga sa, naa onaꞌ atahori sa mete matan sia tiro-ao a. Ana heoꞌ dean, ma liliꞌ hendi mata-aon neuꞌ ena.
For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass:
For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was.
25 Te Ama afiꞌ taꞌo naa. Ama musi paresaꞌ malole Lamatualain hara-lii matetun, mana bisa tao atahori nenemboꞌit mia sala-kilu nara. Dei fo Lamatuaꞌ fee papala-babꞌanggiꞌ sia basa saa fo hei taoꞌ ra, sadꞌi rena ma tao tungga hara-liiꞌ naa ra. Afiꞌ rena mendiꞌ ndiki diim ma kalua tungga ndiki onam!
But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.
26 Mete ma atahori sa nae eni atahori maloleꞌ, te nda nanea nala bafan sa, eni eꞌedik baliꞌ aon! Eni nemeheren parsumaꞌ a.
If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man’s religion is vain.
27 Huu atahori mana namahere tebꞌe-tebꞌeꞌ neu Amaꞌ Lamatuaꞌ, ralan musi matetuꞌ losa nda hambu manggenggeoꞌ saa sa boe. Naa, tao Ama Lamatualain ralan namahoꞌo. Nemehere matetuꞌ onaꞌ naa, tao atahori hii tulufali ina falu ro ana mat ra. Atahori mana naꞌena nemehereꞌ mataꞌ naa, nda hela atahori raefafoꞌ ia kokoe-nanasi se no tatao deꞌulakaꞌ sa.
Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.
