< Yacquub 2 >

1 Walaalahayow, iimaanka Rabbigeenna Ciise Masiix kan ammaanta leh eexasho ha ku haysanina.
My brothers, don’t hold the faith of our glorious Lord Yeshua the Messiah with partiality.
2 Haddii nin kaatun dahab ah iyo dhar quruxsan qabaa shirkiinna soo galo, oo haddana haddii nin kale oo miskiin ah oo dhar uskag leh qabaa soo galo,
For if a man with a gold ring, in fine clothing, comes into your synagogue, and a poor man in filthy clothing also comes in,
3 oo aad fiirisaan ka dharka quruxdasan qaba oo aad ku tidhaahdaan, Adigu kaalay oo halkan wanaagsan fadhiiso, oo aad ku tidhaahdaan ka miskiinka ah, Adigu xaggaas istaag ama halkan cagahayga ag fadhiiso,
and you pay special attention to him who wears the fine clothing and say, “Sit here in a good place;” and you tell the poor man, “Stand there,” or “Sit by my footstool”
4 miyeydnaan kala qaybsamin oo miyeydnaan noqonin kuwa fikirrada sharka leh wax ku xukuma?
haven’t you shown partiality among yourselves, and become judges with evil thoughts?
5 I dhegaysta, walaalahayga aan jeclahayow. Miyaan Ilaah u dooran kuwa ah masaakiinta xagga dunida inay ahaadaan kuwa hodan ku ah rumaysadka oo dhaxla boqortooyaduu u ballanqaaday kuwa isaga jecel?
Listen, my beloved brothers. Didn’t God choose those who are poor in this world to be rich in faith and heirs of the Kingdom which he promised to those who love him?
6 Laakiin idinku waad maamuus jebiseen miskiinkii. Taajiriintu miyaanay idin dulmin oo miyaanay idiin jiidin maxkamadda?
But you have dishonored the poor man. Don’t the rich oppress you and personally drag you before the courts?
7 Miyaanay caayin magaca wanaagsan oo laydiinku yeedhay?
Don’t they blaspheme the honorable name by which you are called?
8 Haddaba haddaad oofisaan sharciga boqornimada siduu Qorniinku leeyahay, Waa inaad deriskaaga u jeclaataa sida naftaada, si wanaagsan baad yeeshaan.
However, if you fulfill the royal law according to the Scripture, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself,” you do well.
9 Laakiin haddaad dadka u kala eexataan waad dembaabtaan, oo sharcigu wuu idinku caddeeyey inaad tihiin kuwa xadgudbay.
But if you show partiality, you commit sin, being convicted by the law as transgressors.
10 Ku alla kii sharciga oo dhan xajiya oo qaynuun keliya ku gafa, kulli wuu ku eedaysan yahay.
For whoever keeps the whole law, and yet stumbles in one point, he has become guilty of all.
11 Waayo, kii yidhi, Ha sinaysan; wuxuu kaloo yidhi, Cidna ha dilin. Haddaanad sinaysanin laakiin aad dad disho, waxaad noqotay ku sharciga ku xadgudbay.
For he who said, “Do not commit adultery,” also said, “Do not commit murder.” Now if you do not commit adultery but do murder, you have become a transgressor of the law.
12 Sidii kuwo sharciga xorriyadda lagu xukumi doono, u hadla oo u yeela.
So speak and so do as men who are to be judged by the law of freedom.
13 Xukunku naxariis uma leh kii aan dadka u naxariisan; naxariistu way ka faantaa xukunka.
For judgment is without mercy to him who has shown no mercy. Mercy triumphs over judgment.
14 Maxay tartaa, walaalahayow, haddii nin yidhaahdo, Rumaysad baan leeyahay, laakiin aanu shuqullo lahayn? Rumaysadku ma badbaadin karaa isaga?
What good is it, my brothers, if a man says he has faith, but has no works? Can faith save him?
15 Walaal wiil ah ama walaal gabadh ah hadday arradan yihiin oo cuntadii maalinta u baahan yihiin,
And if a brother or sister is naked and in lack of daily food,
16 oo midkiin ku yidhaahdo iyaga, Nabad gala, diirsada oo dherga, oo weliba aydnaan siin waxa jidhku u baahan yahay, maxay tartaa?
and one of you tells them, “Go in peace. Be warmed and filled;” yet you didn’t give them the things the body needs, what good is it?
17 Haddaba sidaas oo kale rumaysadku haddaanu shuqullo lahayn keli ahaantiisu waa meyd.
Even so faith, if it has no works, is dead in itself.
18 Laakiin waxaa la odhan doonaa, Adigu waxaad leedahay rumaysad, anna waxaan leeyahay shuqullo. I tus rumaysadkaaga aan shuqullada lahayn, anna rumaysadkayga shuqulladaydaan kugu tusi doonaa.
Yes, a man will say, “You have faith, and I have works.” Show me your faith without works, and I will show you my faith by my works.
19 Waad rumaysan tahay in Ilaah yahay mid keliya. Taas waad ku wanaagsan tahay. Xataa jinniyaduna sidaas way rumaysan yihiin, wayna gariiraan.
You believe that God is one. You do well. The demons also believe—and shudder.
20 Doqonow, ma doonaysaa inaad garatid in rumaysadka aan shuqullada lahaynu aanu waxba tarin?
But do you want to know, vain man, that faith apart from works is dead?
21 Miyaan awowgeen Ibraahim shuqullo lagu caddaynin inuu xaq yahay goortuu wiilkiisii Isxaaq meeshii allabariga ku bixiyey?
Wasn’t Abraham our father justified by works, in that he offered up Isaac his son on the altar?
22 Waad garanaysaa in rumaysadku shuqulladiisii la shaqeeyey, oo rumaysadku kaamil ku noqday shuqullada.
You see that faith worked with his works, and by works faith was perfected.
23 Waxaa rumoobay Qorniinka leh, Ibraahimna Ilaah buu rumaystay, oo waxaa isaga loogu tiriyey xaqnimo, oo waxaa loogu yeedhay saaxiibkii Ilaah.
So the Scripture was fulfilled which says, “Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him as righteousness,” and he was called the friend of God.
24 Waxaad garanaysaan in nin shuqullo lagu caddeeyo inuu xaq yahay oo aan lagu caddayn rumaysadka oo keliya.
You see then that by works a man is justified, and not only by faith.
25 Sidaas oo kale miyaan dhilladii Raxab ahayd shuqullo lagu caddayn inay xaq tahay kolkay soo dhowaysay basaasyadii oo ay jid kale u dirtay?
In the same way, wasn’t Rahab the prostitute also justified by works when she received the messengers and sent them out another way?
26 Sida jidhkii aan ruux lahaynu meyd u yahay, sidaas oo kaluu rumaysadkii aan shuqullo lahaynuna meyd u yahay.
For as the body apart from the spirit is dead, even so faith apart from works is dead.
