Santiago 2
1 Ene anayeác, eztuçuela Iesus Christ gure Iaun gloriazcoaren fedea, personén acceptionerequin.
My brothers, as you hold out your faith in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ, do not show favoritism.
2 Ecen baldin sar badadi çuen congregationera guiçon-bat vrrhezco erhaztun-bat duela, preciosqui veztituric: eta sar dadin halaber edocein paubre charqui veztituric,
Suppose a man comes into your meeting wearing a gold ring and fine clothes, and a poor man in shabby clothes also comes in.
3 Eta ikartze duçuen preciosqui veztitua denagana, eta erran dieçoçuen hari, Hi iar adi hemen honestqui: eta paubreari derroçuen, Hi ago çutic han, edo iar adi hemen ene scabella azpian:
If you lavish attention on the man in fine clothes and say, “Here is a seat of honor,” but say to the poor man, “You must stand” or “Sit at my feet,”
4 Eztuçue differentia eguin vkan ceuroc baithan, eta eguin içan baitzarete pensamendu gaichtoezco iuge?
have you not discriminated among yourselves and become judges with evil thoughts?
5 Ençuçue, ene anaye maiteác, eztitu Iaincoac elegitu mundu hunetaco paubreac fedez abrats içateco, eta hura maite duteney promettatu drauen resumaco heredero?
Listen, my beloved brothers: Has not God chosen the poor of this world to be rich in faith and to inherit the kingdom He promised those who love Him?
6 Baina çuec desohoratu vkan duçue paubrea. Ala abratsec etzaituztez tyrannizatzen, eta etzaituztez gortetara erekarten?
But you have dishonored the poor. Is it not the rich who oppress you and drag you into court?
7 Eztute hec blasphematzen çuen gainean inuocatu içan den Icen ona?
Are they not the ones who blaspheme the noble name by which you have been called?
8 Badaric-ere baldin Legue reala complitzen baduçue Scripturaren araura, cein baita, On eritziren draucac eure hurcoari eure buruäri beçala, vngui eguiten duçue:
If you really fulfill the royal law stated in Scripture, “Love your neighbor as yourself,” you are doing well.
9 Baina baldin personén acceptioneric baduçue, bekatu eguiten duçue, eta reprehenditzen çarete Legueaz transgrediçale beçala.
But if you show favoritism, you sin and are convicted by the law as transgressors.
10 Ecen norc-ere Legue gucia beguiraturen baitu, eta punctu batetan faltaturen, gucietan hoguendun da.
Whoever keeps the whole law but stumbles at just one point is guilty of breaking all of it.
11 Ecen erran duenac, Eztuc adulteraturen, erran du halaber, Eztuc hilen. Bada baldin adulteratzen ezpaduc, baina hiltzen bay, Leguearen transgrediçale eguin aiz.
For He who said, “Do not commit adultery,” also said, “Do not murder.” If you do not commit adultery, but do commit murder, you have become a lawbreaker.
12 Hala minça çaitezte eta hala eguiçue nola libertatezco Legueaz iugeatu behar diradenéc.
Speak and act as those who are going to be judged by the law that gives freedom.
13 Ecen condemnatione misericordia gabe eguinen çayó misericordia eguin eztuqueenari: eta gloriatzen da misericordia condemnationearen contra.
For judgment without mercy will be shown to anyone who has not been merciful. Mercy triumphs over judgment.
14 Ene anayeác, cer probetchu, baldin norbeitec badarra fede baduela, eta obrác eztituén? ala fede harc hura salua ahal deçaque?
What good is it, my brothers, if someone claims to have faith, but has no deeds? Can such faith save him?
15 Eta baldin anayea edo arrebá billuciac badirade, eta peitu eguneco vitançaren:
Suppose a brother or sister is without clothes and daily food.
16 Eta çuetaric cembeitec hæy erran diecén, Çoazte baquerequin, bero çaitezte eta asse çaitezte: eta eztinguzteçuen gorputzaren necessario diraden gauçác, cer probetchu duqueite?
If one of you tells him, “Go in peace; stay warm and well fed,” but does not provide for his physical needs, what good is that?
17 Hala fedea-ere, baldin obrác ezpaditu, hila da bere berez.
So too, faith by itself, if it does not result in action, is dead.
18 Baina are erranén du edoceinec, Hic fedea duc, eta nic obrác citiat, eracuts ieçadac eure fedea eure obrác gabe, eta nic eracutsiren drauat hiri neure obretaric neure fedea.
But someone will say, “You have faith and I have deeds.” Show me your faith without deeds, and I will show you my faith by my deeds.
19 Hic sinhesten duc ecen Iaincobat dela: vngui eguiten duc: deabruec-ere sinhesten dié, eta ikara diabiltzac.
You believe that God is one. Good for you! Even the demons believe that—and shudder.
20 Baina nahi duc iaquin, o guiçon vanoá, ecen fedea obrác gabe hila dela?
O foolish man, do you want evidence that faith without deeds is worthless?
21 Gure aita Abraham ezta obretaric iustificatu içan, Isaac bere semea aldare gainean offrendatu çuenean?
Was not our father Abraham justified by what he did when he offered his son Isaac on the altar?
22 Badacussac nola fedeac obratzen çuen haren obretan, eta obretaric fedea acabatu içan dela?
You see that his faith was working with his actions, and his faith was perfected by what he did.
23 Eta complitu içan dela Scripturá dioela, Sinhetsi vkan du Abrahamec Iaincoa, eta imputatu içan çayó iustitiatara, eta Iaincoaren adisquide deithu içan da.
And the Scripture was fulfilled that says, “Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness,” and he was called a friend of God.
24 Badacussaçue bada ecen obretaric iustificatzen dela guiçona, eta ez fedetic solament?
As you can see, a man is justified by his deeds and not by faith alone.
25 Halaber Rahab paillarda-ere ala ezta obretaric iustificatu içan, recebitu cituenean mandatariac, eta berce bidez idoqui cituenean?
In the same way, was not even Rahab the prostitute justified by her actions when she welcomed the spies and sent them off on another route?
26 Ecen nola gorputza spiritu gabe hila baita, hala fedea-ere obrác gabe hila da.
As the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without deeds is dead.
