Yakobo 3
1 Me nuanom, ɛnyɛ mo nyinaa na ɛsɛ sɛ moyɛ mo ho akyerɛkyerɛfoɔ, ɛfiri sɛ, monim sɛ yɛn akyerɛkyerɛfoɔ deɛ sɛ yɛfom a, wɔbɛbu yɛn atɛn a emu yɛ den sene afoforɔ.
ʻE hoku kāinga, ke ʻoua naʻa akonaki ʻae tokolahi, he ʻoku mou ʻilo ʻe ʻāsili ai ʻae tautea kiate kitautolu.
2 Yɛn nyinaa taa yɛ mfomsoɔ. Onipa a ɔnyɛ mfomsoɔ wɔ deɛ ɔka mu no yɛ pɛ a ɔbɛtumi ahyɛ ne onipadua no so.
He ʻoku tau tūkia kotoa pē ʻi he ngaahi meʻa kehekehe. Kapau ʻe ʻikai tūkia ha taha ʻi he lea, ko e tangata haohaoa ia, pea ʻoku faʻa fai ʻe ia ke taʻofi ki he sino kotoa.
3 Yɛde nnareka to ɔpɔnkɔ anom sɛdeɛ ɔbɛtie yɛn na yɛatumi ama wakɔ baabiara a yɛpɛ sɛ ɔkɔ.
Vakai, ʻoku tau ʻai ʻae meʻa taʻofi ki he ngutu ʻoe fanga hoosi, koeʻuhi ke nau paongofua kiate kitautolu; pea ʻoku tau puleʻi ʻaki ia honau sino kotoa.
4 Anaasɛ dwene ɛhyɛn ho: sɛdeɛ ne kɛseɛ te a mframa a ano yɛ den na ɛbɔ no, nanso wɔtumi de akyerɛkyerɛkwan ketewaa bi na ɛdanedane no ma ɛkɔ baabi a hyɛnkafoɔ no pɛ sɛ ɛkɔ.
Vakai foki ki he ngaahi vaka he neongo ʻoku lalahi, pea fakangaholo ʻe he ngaahi matangi mālohi, ka ʻoku faʻa feliliuʻaki ia ʻae foheʻuli siʻi, ʻo faʻiteliha ʻae tangata ʻoku fakaʻuli.
5 Saa ara na tɛkrɛma teɛ: ne ketewa yi nyinaa akyi, ɛtumi hoahoa nneɛma akɛseɛ. Hwɛ sɛdeɛ ogya ketewaa bi tumi hye kwaeɛ kɛseɛ.
ʻOku pehē foki ki he ʻelelo, ko e kupu siʻi, ka ʻoku ne polepole ki he ngaahi meʻa lahi. Vakai ki hono lahi ʻoe vao ʻakau kuo tutu ʻaki ʻae afi siʻi!
6 Tɛkrɛma te sɛ ogya. Ɛwɔ tumi bɔne bi wɔ onipa akwaa mu. Ɛsɛe onipadua no nyinaa; ɛsɔ onipa abrabɔ nyinaa so ogya ma ɛdɛre framfram. (Geenna g1067)
Pea ko e afi ʻae ʻelelo, ko e maama angahala: ʻoku pehē ʻae ʻelelo ʻi heʻene ʻi hotau ngaahi kupuʻi sino, ʻoku ne ʻuliʻi ʻae sino kotoa, ʻoku ne fakavela ʻae anga fakakakano; pea kuo tutu ia mei heli. (Geenna g1067)
7 Onipa tumi dwodwo mmoadoma, nnomaa, mmoa a wɔwea fam, ɛpo mu mmoa nyinaa,
He naʻe fakalalata ʻi muʻa, pea ʻoku kei fakalalata ʻe he kakai, ʻae manu fekai kehekehe kotoa pē, mo e fanga manupuna, mo e ngaahi meʻa totolo, pea mo e ngaahi meʻa ʻi he tahi:
8 nanso obiara rentumi nnwodwo tɛkrɛma da. Ɛyɛ bɔne a ɔnhome so na awuduro ahyɛ no ma.
Ka ʻoku ʻikai faʻa fakalalata ʻe ha tangata ʻae ʻelelo; ko e kovi taʻefaʻataʻofi ʻaia, ʻoku pito ʻi he kona fakamate.
9 Yɛde tɛkrɛma kamfo yɛn Awurade ne yɛn Agya na yɛde ɛno ara nso adome nnipa a wɔbɔɔ wɔn Onyankopɔn sɛso so.
Ko ia ʻoku tau fakafetaʻi ʻaki ki he ʻOtua ko e Tamai; pea ko ia ʻoku kape ʻaki ʻae kakai, ʻaia naʻe ngaohi ʻi he tatau ʻoe ʻOtua.
10 Ano korɔ no ara mu na nkamfo ne nnome firi ba. Me nuanom, ɛnsɛ sɛ ɛba saa.
ʻOku mei he ngutu pe taha ʻae tāpuaki mo e kapekape. ʻE hoku kāinga, ʻe ʻikai siʻi lelei ke pehē ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni.
11 Nsuo pa ne nsuo a ɛyɛ nkyenenkyene bɛtumi afiri asutire baako mu aba?
He ʻoku puna mai mei ha matavai pe taha ʻa e [vai ]melie mo e [vai ]kona?
12 Me nuanom, borɔdɔma dua bɛtumi aso ngo dua aba? Anaasɛ bobe bɛtumi aso borɔdɔma? Saa ara na asutire a ɛyɛ nkyenenkyene remma nsu pa.
ʻE hoku kāinga, ʻe faʻa tupu ʻi he fiki ʻae fua ʻoe ʻolive? Pe ʻi he vaine ʻae fua ʻoe fiki? Pea pehē, ʻoku ʻikai ha matavai ʻe puna mei ai ʻa e [vai ]kona mo e [vai ]melie.
13 Obi wɔ mo mu a ɔnim nyansa na ɔwɔ nteaseɛ? Ɛsɛ sɛ ɔnam abrabɔ pa, nnwuma pa a wɔnam ahobrɛaseɛ ne nyansa so da no adi.
Ko hai ha taha ʻoku poto mo ʻilo lahi ʻiate kimoutolu? Ke fakahā ʻe ia ʻi he ʻulungāanga lelei ʻa ʻene ngaahi ngāue ʻi he angavaivai mo e poto.
14 Na sɛ mowɔ nitan, mansotwe ne pɛsɛmenkomenya wɔ mo akoma mu a, ɛnneɛ ɛnsɛ sɛ mohoahoa mo ho, na nam so ka nkontompo tia nokorɛ.
Pea kapau ʻoku ʻi homou loto ʻae feinga kovi mo e fekeʻikeʻi, ʻoua naʻa mou polepole ai, mo lohiakiʻi ʻae moʻoni.
15 Saa nyansa yi mfiri ɔsoro na ɛbaeɛ. Ɛyɛ ewiase nyansa na ɛyɛ honhommɔne nso.
ʻOku ʻikai ʻalu hifo mei ʻolunga ʻae poto ni, ka ʻoku fakamaama, mo fakakakano, pea fakatēvolo.
16 Baabiara a nitan ne pɛsɛmenkomenya wɔ no, basabasa ne bɔne ahodoɔ nyinaa bi wɔ hɔ.
He ko ia ʻoku ʻi ai ʻae meheka mo e fekeʻikeʻi, ʻoku ʻi ai ʻae maveuveu mo e ngāue kovi kotoa pē.
17 Nanso, nyansa a ɛfiri ɔsoro no yɛ kronkron; asomdwoeɛ wɔ mu, ɛdwo na ɛwɔ nidɔ; ɛwɔ ahummɔborɔ na nneyɛeɛ pa firi mu ba; ɛnnye akyinnyeɛ na ɛnyɛ nyaatwom nso.
Ka ko e poto ʻoku mei ʻolunga ʻoku fuofua maʻa, pea fakamelino, pea angavaivai, pea ongongofua ki he kole, ʻoku pito ʻi he ʻaloʻofa mo e ngaahi fua lelei, ʻoku ʻikai filifilimānako, ʻoku ʻikai ke mālualoi.
18 Na ɛso aba pa a ɛfiri aba a asomdwoeɛfoɔ duaa no asomdwoeɛ mu no.
Pea kuo tūtuuʻi ʻae fua ʻoe māʻoniʻoni ʻi he melino maʻanautolu ʻoku faʻa fakalelei.
