Santiago 2
1 Ene anayeác, eztuçuela Iesus Christ gure Iaun gloriazcoaren fedea, personén acceptionerequin.
My brethren, do not have the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, [Lord] of glory, with respect of persons:
2 Ecen baldin sar badadi çuen congregationera guiçon-bat vrrhezco erhaztun-bat duela, preciosqui veztituric: eta sar dadin halaber edocein paubre charqui veztituric,
for if there come unto your synagogue a man with a gold ring in splendid apparel, and a poor man also come in in vile apparel,
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:
and ye look upon him who wears the splendid apparel, and say, Do thou sit here well, and say to the poor, Do thou stand there, or sit here under my footstool:
4 Eztuçue differentia eguin vkan ceuroc baithan, eta eguin içan baitzarete pensamendu gaichtoezco iuge?
have ye not made a difference among yourselves, and become judges having evil thoughts?
5 Ençuçue, ene anaye maiteác, eztitu Iaincoac elegitu mundu hunetaco paubreac fedez abrats içateco, eta hura maite duteney promettatu drauen resumaco heredero?
Hear, my beloved brethren: Has not God chosen the poor as to the world, rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom, which he has promised to them that love him?
6 Baina çuec desohoratu vkan duçue paubrea. Ala abratsec etzaituztez tyrannizatzen, eta etzaituztez gortetara erekarten?
But ye have despised the poor [man]. Do not the rich oppress you, and [do not] they drag you before [the] tribunals?
7 Eztute hec blasphematzen çuen gainean inuocatu içan den Icen ona?
And [do not] they blaspheme the excellent name which has been called upon you?
8 Badaric-ere baldin Legue reala complitzen baduçue Scripturaren araura, cein baita, On eritziren draucac eure hurcoari eure buruäri beçala, vngui eguiten duçue:
If indeed ye keep [the] royal law according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself, ye do well.
9 Baina baldin personén acceptioneric baduçue, bekatu eguiten duçue, eta reprehenditzen çarete Legueaz transgrediçale beçala.
But if ye have respect of persons, ye commit sin, being convicted by the law as transgressors.
10 Ecen norc-ere Legue gucia beguiraturen baitu, eta punctu batetan faltaturen, gucietan hoguendun da.
For whoever shall keep the whole law and shall offend in one [point], he has come under the guilt of [breaking] all.
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, Thou shalt not commit adultery, said also, Thou shalt not kill. Now if thou dost not commit adultery, but killest, thou art become transgressor of [the] law.
12 Hala minça çaitezte eta hala eguiçue nola libertatezco Legueaz iugeatu behar diradenéc.
So speak ye, and so act, as those that are to be judged by [the] law of liberty;
13 Ecen condemnatione misericordia gabe eguinen çayó misericordia eguin eztuqueenari: eta gloriatzen da misericordia condemnationearen contra.
for judgment [will be] without mercy to him that has shewn no mercy. Mercy glories over judgment.
14 Ene anayeác, cer probetchu, baldin norbeitec badarra fede baduela, eta obrác eztituén? ala fede harc hura salua ahal deçaque?
What [is] the profit, my brethren, if any one say he have faith, but have not works? can faith save him?
15 Eta baldin anayea edo arrebá billuciac badirade, eta peitu eguneco vitançaren:
Now if a brother or a sister is naked and destitute of 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?
and one from amongst you say to them, Go in peace, be warmed and filled; but give not to them the needful things for the body, what [is] the profit?
17 Hala fedea-ere, baldin obrác ezpaditu, hila da bere berez.
So also faith, if it have not works, is dead by itself.
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 some one will say, Thou hast faith and I have works. Shew me thy faith without works, and I from my works will shew thee my faith.
19 Hic sinhesten duc ecen Iaincobat dela: vngui eguiten duc: deabruec-ere sinhesten dié, eta ikara diabiltzac.
Thou believest that God is one. Thou doest well. The demons even believe, and tremble.
20 Baina nahi duc iaquin, o guiçon vanoá, ecen fedea obrác gabe hila dela?
But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?
21 Gure aita Abraham ezta obretaric iustificatu içan, Isaac bere semea aldare gainean offrendatu çuenean?
Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar?
22 Badacussac nola fedeac obratzen çuen haren obretan, eta obretaric fedea acabatu içan dela?
Thou seest that faith wrought with his works, and that by works faith was perfected.
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 which says, Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned to him as righteousness, and he was called Friend of God.
24 Badacussaçue bada ecen obretaric iustificatzen dela guiçona, eta ez fedetic solament?
Ye see that a man is justified on the principle of works, and not on the principle of faith only.
25 Halaber Rahab paillarda-ere ala ezta obretaric iustificatu içan, recebitu cituenean mandatariac, eta berce bidez idoqui cituenean?
But was not in like manner also Rahab the harlot justified on the principle of works, when she had received the messengers and put [them] forth by another way?
26 Ecen nola gorputza spiritu gabe hila baita, hala fedea-ere obrác gabe hila da.
For as the body without a spirit is dead, so also faith without works is dead.
