Santiago 1
1 IACQVES Iaincoaren eta Iesus Christ Iaunaren cerbitzariac, hamabi leinu barreyatuey, salutatione.
James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes in the dispersion: Greetings!
2 Ene anayeác, bozcario perfectotan educaçue tentatione diuersetara eror çaiteztenean:
Consider it all joy, my brothers, when you experience various troubles.
3 Daquiçuelaric ecen çuen fedearen phorogançác patientia engendratzen duela.
You know that the testing of your faith produces endurance.
4 Baina patientiác obra perfectoa biu, perfect eta integro çaretençat, deusen falta etzaretelaric.
Let endurance complete its work, so that you may become fully developed and complete, not lacking anything.
5 Eta baldin çuetaric cembeitec sapientia faltaric badu, esca bequió Iaincoari, ceinec emaiten baitraue guciey benignoqui, eta ez reprotchatzen: eta emanen çayó.
But if any of you needs wisdom, let him ask for it from God, the one who gives generously and without rebuke to all who ask, and he will give it to him.
6 Baina federequin esca bedi, batre dudatzen eztuela: ecen dudatzen duena, haiceaz erabilten eta tormentatzen den itsas bagaren pare da.
But let him ask in faith, doubting nothing. For anyone who doubts is like a wave in the sea that is driven by the wind and tossed around.
7 Ezteçala bada estima guiçon harc deus Iaunaganic recebituren duela:
For that person must not think that he will receive anything from the Lord.
8 Guiçon gogo doblatacoa, inconstant da bere bide gucietan.
Such a person is double-minded, unstable in all his ways.
9 Gloria bedi bada anaye conditione bachotacoa bere goratassunean:
Let the poor brother boast of his high position,
10 Baina abrats dena, gloria bedi bere bachotassunean: ecen belhar lilia beçala iraganen da.
but the rich man of his low position, because he will pass away as a wild flower in the grass.
11 Ecen nola iguzquia beroarequin goratu eta, erre baita belharra, eta haren lilia erori, eta haren irudi ederra galdu: hala abratsa-ere bere bide gucietan chimalduren da.
For the sun rises with burning heat and dries up the grass. The flower falls off, and its beauty perishes. In the same way, the rich man will fade away in the middle of his journey.
12 Dahatsu da tentatione suffritzen duen guiçona: ecen phorogatu datenean recebituren duque, Iaunac hura maite duteney promettatu drauen vicitzeco coroá.
Blessed is the man who endures testing. For after he has passed the test, he will receive the crown of life, which has been promised to those who love God.
13 Nehorc, tentatzen denean, ezterrala Iaincoaz tentatzen dela: ecen Iaincoa ecin tenta daite gaizquiz, eta nehor eztu tentatzen.
Let no one say when he is tempted, “I am tempted by God,” because God is not tempted by evil, nor does he himself tempt anyone.
14 Baina batbedera tentatzen da bere guthicia propriaz tiratzen eta bazcatzen denean.
But each person is tempted by his own desire, which drags him away and entices him.
15 Guero guthiciá, concebitu duenean, ertzen da bekatuz: eta bekatuac acabatu denean, herio engendratzen du.
Then after the desire conceives, it gives birth to sin, and after the sin is full grown, it gives birth to death.
16 Etzaiteztela abusa, ene anaye maiteác.
Do not be deceived, my beloved brothers.
17 Donatione on oro, eta dohain perfect oro garaitic da arguién Aitaganic iausten dela, cein baithan ezpaita cambiamenduric, ez aldizcazco itzalic.
Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above. It comes down from the Father of lights. With him there is no changing or shadow because of turning.
18 Harc bere vorondatez engendratu vkan gaitu eguiazco hitzaz, haren creaturetaco primitiác beçala guinençát.
God chose to give us birth by the word of truth, so that we would be a kind of firstfruits of all the things that he created.
19 Halacotz, ene anaye maiteác, biz guiçon gucia ençutera lehiati, berantcor minçatzera, eta berantcor asserretzera.
You know this, my beloved brothers: Let every man be quick to hear, slow to speak, and slow to anger.
20 Ecen guiçonaren asserreac Iaincoaren iustitiá eztu complitzen.
For the anger of man does not work the righteousness of God.
21 Halacotz, iraitziric cithalqueria gucia eta malitiazco superfluitatea, emetassunequin recebi eçaçue, çuetan landatu hitza, ceinec salua ahal baititzaque çuen arimác.
Therefore take off all sinful filth and abundant amounts of evil. In humility receive the implanted word, which is able to save your souls.
22 Eta çareten hitzaren eguile eta ez solament ençule, ceuron buruäc enganatzen dituçuela.
Be doers of the word and not only hearers, deceiving yourselves.
23 Ecen baldin norbeit hitzaren ençule bada eta ez eguile, hura mirailean bere beguitharte naturala consideratzen duen guiçonaren pare da.
For if anyone is a hearer of the word but not a doer, he is like a man who examines his natural face in a mirror.
24 Ecen consideratu vkan du bere buruä, eta ioan içan da, eta bertan ahance çayó nolaco cen.
He examines himself and then goes away and immediately forgets what he was like.
25 Baina miratu datena Legue perfectoan, cein baita libertatezcoa, eta hartan perseueratu duqueena, ceren ezpaitate ençule ahanzcor içan, baina obraren eguile: hura dohatsu içanen da bere eguinean.
But the person who looks carefully into the perfect law of freedom, and continues to do so, not just being a hearer who forgets, this man will be blessed in his actions.
26 Baldin cembeitec vste badu religioso dela çuen artean, bridatzen eztuelaric bere mihia, baina bere bihotza enganatzen duelaric, halacoaren religionea vano da.
If anyone thinks himself to be religious, but if he does not control his tongue, he deceives his heart, and his religion is worthless.
27 Religione pura eta macula gabea Iainco eta Aita baithan, haur da, çurtzén eta emazte alhargunén visitatzea bere tribulationetan: eta macula gabe bere buruären beguiratzea mundu hunetaric.
Religion that is pure and unspoiled before our God and Father is to help the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained by the world.
