Yakubu 1
1 Yakubu, kucin Kutellẹ nin Chikilari Yisa Kristi, udu kiti nakura likure nin naba na iwa malu kiti nin ghinu, ndin lisu minu.
JAMES, a servant of God, and of our Lord Jesus the Messiah; to the twelve tribes dispersed among the Gentiles; greeting peace.
2 Yiran vat nmanghari nuwana ning, kubi ko na uniyu ngangan nse minu,
Let it be all joy to you, my brethren, when ye enter into many and various trials.
3 Yinnon nworu uyinnu sa uyenu mine din dasu nin nayi akone sa ligan.
For ye know, that the trial of your faith, maketh you possess patience.
4 Na ayi akone kulu katuwa me, lnan lawa anit awasara, anan nsalin ndiru nimon.
And let patience have its perfect work, so that ye may be complete and perfect, and may lack nothing.
5 Asa umon mine dini su ayita jinji, na atirin kiti lenge na adi nizu, Kutellẹ, adin nizu gbardang sa ugbaru kitin le na atirino, Kutellẹ ma nighe.
And if any of you lacketh wisdom, let him ask it of God, who giveth to all freely, and reproacheth not; and it will be given him.
6 Bara nani tirino nan nya yinnu sa uyenu, na nin kosu kibinayi ba, ule na adinsu nin kosu kibinayi amasin nafo kibarak nmyen kurawa, fongo na ufunu din chunmung ukillọ mung.
But let him ask in faith, not hesitating: he who hesitateth is like the waves of the sea, which the wind agitateth.
7 Na unit une nwa ceo kibinayi nworu aba seru imene na adi nin suwẹ kitin in Chikilari ba;
And let not that man expect to receive any thing of the Lord,
8 Imusi nnit une unan kossu kibinayari, na ayisin libau lirum ba.
who is hesitating in his mind, and unstable in all his ways.
9 Na gwana ule na asali nin nimon nacara ase ngongong nan nya liyisin me.
And let the depressed brother rejoice, in his elevation;
10 Ame gwana ka na adumun nimon nacara toltin litime, bara na ama katu nafo kumamu na kuwasa kuyelte.
and the rich, in his depression; because, like the flower of an herb, so he passeth away.
11 Asa awui nuzu ninpui gwawai uta amommu koto, amammu nin chaut nani yeltizẹ. Nanere wang anan nimon nacara ba lawu anan nsali nimon nan nya nituwa minẹ.
For the sun riseth in its heat, and drieth up the herb; and its flower falleth, and the beauty of its appearance perisheth: so also the rich man withereth in his ways.
12 Unan nmareri ule na atere ulle na a tere kibinayi, nan nya dumunu, aleo likara nan nya dumunẹ, aba seru litapa tigoh longo na ina ti anan su Kutellẹ likawali.
Blessed is the man who endureth temptations; so that when he is proved he may receive a crown of life, which God hath promised to them that love him.
13 Yenje umon wa woro kubi kongo na idumunghe, '' Ulenge udumune unuzu kiti Kutellẹri,'' bara na Kutellẹ din dumunu unit nin magunta ba, amẹ Kutellẹ litime din dumuzunu umong ba.
Let no one when he is tempted, say, I am tempted of God: for God is not tempted with evils, nor doth he tempt any man.
14 Ko uyeme unit asa ase udumunu bara uti kibinayi mangunta mere, ulle na asa ukpeshilinghe uwununghe likot.
But every man is tempted by his own lust; and he lusteth, and is drawn away.
15 Usu kibinayi nwati liburi asa umara kulapi, kulapi nwa kuno kang kuda nin kul.
And this his lust conceiveth, and bringeth forth sin; and sin, when mature, bringeth forth death.
16 Nana ning yenje iwa risuzu minu.
Do not err, my beloved brethren.
17 Ko uyeme ufillu ugegeme nin fillu ulau udin nucu kitene kani utolu udak nnuzu kitin Ncif nkanang. Na adin sakuzu kidowo nafo ushin ba.
Every good and perfect gift cometh down from above, from the Father of lights, with whom is no mutation, not even the shadow of change.
18 Kutellẹ na fere ani nari ulai unuzu ligbulang kidegen, bara tinan so kumat ncizinu nan nya makekewẹ.
He saw fit, and begat us by the word of truth; that we might be the first-fruits of his creatures.
19 Anung yiru nani, nuwana kibinayi nin. Na ulanzu yita kogha ku deddai, na anan liru kpaikpai ba, ana unan tinanayi deddai ba,
And be ye, my beloved brethren, every one of you, swift to hear, and slow to speak; and slow to wrath:
20 bara na tina nayi nanit din su katuwa kacine Kutellẹ ba.
for the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God.
21 Bara nani kallan vat akara ananangza nin magunta na udin kowẹ, na nin tikunang liti ba seren tigbulang to na tiba damun nin tucu nidowo mine.
Wherefore, remove far from you all impurity, and the abundance of wickedness; and, with meekness, receive the word that is implanted in our nature, which is able to vivify these your souls.
22 Dortong tigbulanghe, na iwadi anan lanzu cas ba, na iwa rusuzu atimine ba.
But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only; and do not deceive yourselves.
23 Asa ulle na adin lanzunligbulang nliru na adin su katuwa mun, adi nafo unit ulle na adin yenju nan nya madubi.
For if any man shall be a hearer of the word, and not a doer of it, he will be like one who seeth his face in a mirror:
24 Awasa ayene umuro me, as a gya, asa ashawa sa iyizari ayita.
for he seeth himself, and passeth on, and forgetteth what a man he was.
25 Nanere unit ulle na adin yenju gegeme nan nyan shara ulau, ushara lidu kibolo, nbuntu, nin lin bun dortoe, nama unan lanzun nin shauzue ban iba ti unit une nmari awa sunani.
But every one that looketh upon the perfect law of liberty and abideth in it, is not a hearer of something to be forgotten, but a doer of the things; and he will be blessed in his work.
26 Ulenge na ayira litime ame unan dortu Kutellẹri, ana adin kiffizu lilemme ba, adin rusuzu litime, udortu Kutellẹ me uhemari.
And if any one thinketh that he worshippeth God, and doth not restrain his tongue, but his heart deceiveth him; his worship is vain.
27 Udortu-Kutellẹ ucicik ulau na Kutellẹ na Uchif bite din yenju, anare ubunu nikimon, nin na nan kul na less, nan nya nio mine, anin kesse litime nan nya in yih unanzang.
For the worship that is pure and holy before God the Father, is this: to visit the fatherless and the widows in their affliction, and that one keep himself unspotted from the world.
