< Santiago 2 >

1 Ene anayeác, eztuçuela Iesus Christ gure Iaun gloriazcoaren fedea, personén acceptionerequin.
My brothers, don’t hold the faith of our glorious Lord Jesus Christ with partiality.
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 a man with a gold ring, in fine clothing, comes into your synagogue, and a poor man in filthy clothing 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:
and you pay special attention to him who wears the fine clothing and say, “Sit here in a good place;” and you tell the poor man, “Stand there,” or “Sit by my footstool”
4 Eztuçue differentia eguin vkan ceuroc baithan, eta eguin içan baitzarete pensamendu gaichtoezco iuge?
haven’t you shown partiality 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. Didn’t God choose those who are poor in this world to be rich in faith and heirs of the Kingdom which he promised to 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 man. Don’t the rich oppress you and personally drag you before the courts?
7 Eztute hec blasphematzen çuen gainean inuocatu içan den Icen ona?
Don’t they blaspheme the honorable name by which you are called?
8 Badaric-ere baldin Legue reala complitzen baduçue Scripturaren araura, cein baita, On eritziren draucac eure hurcoari eure buruäri beçala, vngui eguiten duçue:
However, if you fulfill the royal law according to the Scripture, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself,” you do well.
9 Baina baldin personén acceptioneric baduçue, bekatu eguiten duçue, eta reprehenditzen çarete Legueaz transgrediçale beçala.
But if you show partiality, you 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 keeps the whole law, and yet stumbles in one point, he has become guilty of 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, “Do not commit adultery,” also said, “Do not commit murder.” Now if you do not commit adultery but do murder, you have become a transgressor of the law.
12 Hala minça çaitezte eta hala eguiçue nola libertatezco Legueaz iugeatu behar diradenéc.
So speak and so do as men who are to be judged by the law of freedom.
13 Ecen condemnatione misericordia gabe eguinen çayó misericordia eguin eztuqueenari: eta gloriatzen da misericordia condemnationearen contra.
For judgment is without mercy to him who has shown no mercy. 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 a man says he has faith, but has no works? Can faith save him?
15 Eta baldin anayea edo arrebá billuciac badirade, eta peitu eguneco vitançaren:
And if a brother or sister is naked and in lack 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 of you tells them, “Go in peace. Be warmed and filled;” yet you didn’t give them the things the body needs, what good is it?
17 Hala fedea-ere, baldin obrác ezpaditu, hila da bere berez.
Even so faith, if it has no works, is dead in 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.
Yes, a man will say, “You have faith, and I have works.” Show me your faith without works, and I will show you my faith by my works.
19 Hic sinhesten duc ecen Iaincobat dela: vngui eguiten duc: deabruec-ere sinhesten dié, eta ikara diabiltzac.
You believe that God is one. You do well. The demons also believe—and shudder.
20 Baina nahi duc iaquin, o guiçon vanoá, ecen fedea obrác gabe hila dela?
But do you want to know, vain man, that faith apart from works is dead?
21 Gure aita Abraham ezta obretaric iustificatu içan, Isaac bere semea aldare gainean offrendatu çuenean?
Wasn’t Abraham our father justified by works, in that he offered up Isaac his son on the altar?
22 Badacussac nola fedeac obratzen çuen haren obretan, eta obretaric fedea acabatu içan dela?
You see that faith worked with his works, and 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.
So the Scripture was fulfilled which says, “Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him as righteousness,” and he was called the friend of God.
24 Badacussaçue bada ecen obretaric iustificatzen dela guiçona, eta ez fedetic solament?
You see then that by works a man is justified, and not only by faith.
25 Halaber Rahab paillarda-ere ala ezta obretaric iustificatu içan, recebitu cituenean mandatariac, eta berce bidez idoqui cituenean?
In the same way, wasn’t Rahab the prostitute also justified by works when she received the messengers and sent them out another way?
26 Ecen nola gorputza spiritu gabe hila baita, hala fedea-ere obrác gabe hila da.
For as the body apart from the spirit is dead, even so faith apart from works is dead.
