Santiago 1
1 IACQVES Iaincoaren eta Iesus Christ Iaunaren cerbitzariac, hamabi leinu barreyatuey, salutatione.
James the servant of God, and of our Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad, greeting.
2 Ene anayeác, bozcario perfectotan educaçue tentatione diuersetara eror çaiteztenean:
My brethren, count it all joy, when you shall fall into divers temptations;
3 Daquiçuelaric ecen çuen fedearen phorogançác patientia engendratzen duela.
Knowing that the trying of your faith worketh patience.
4 Baina patientiác obra perfectoa biu, perfect eta integro çaretençat, deusen falta etzaretelaric.
And patience hath a perfect work; that you may be perfect and entire, failing in nothing.
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 want wisdom, let him ask of God, who giveth to all men abundantly, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given 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, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea, which is moved and carried about by the wind.
7 Ezteçala bada estima guiçon harc deus Iaunaganic recebituren duela:
Therefore let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord.
8 Guiçon gogo doblatacoa, inconstant da bere bide gucietan.
A double minded man is inconstant in all his ways.
9 Gloria bedi bada anaye conditione bachotacoa bere goratassunean:
But let the brother of low condition glory in his exaltation:
10 Baina abrats dena, gloria bedi bere bachotassunean: ecen belhar lilia beçala iraganen da.
And the rich, in his being low; because as the flower of the grass shall he pass away.
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 rose with a burning heat, and parched the grass, and the flower thereof fell off, and the beauty of the shape thereof perished: so also shall the rich man fade away in his ways.
12 Dahatsu da tentatione suffritzen duen guiçona: ecen phorogatu datenean recebituren duque, Iaunac hura maite duteney promettatu drauen vicitzeco coroá.
Blessed is the man that endureth temptation; for when he hath been proved, he shall receive a crown of life, which God hath promised to them that love him.
13 Nehorc, tentatzen denean, ezterrala Iaincoaz tentatzen dela: ecen Iaincoa ecin tenta daite gaizquiz, eta nehor eztu tentatzen.
Let no man, when he is tempted, say that he is tempted by God. For God is not a tempter of evils, and he tempteth no man.
14 Baina batbedera tentatzen da bere guthicia propriaz tiratzen eta bazcatzen denean.
But every man is tempted by his own concupiscence, being drawn away and allured.
15 Guero guthiciá, concebitu duenean, ertzen da bekatuz: eta bekatuac acabatu denean, herio engendratzen du.
Then when concupiscence hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin. But sin, when it is completed, begetteth death.
16 Etzaiteztela abusa, ene anaye maiteác.
Do not err, therefore, my dearest brethren.
17 Donatione on oro, eta dohain perfect oro garaitic da arguién Aitaganic iausten dela, cein baithan ezpaita cambiamenduric, ez aldizcazco itzalic.
Every best gift, and every perfect gift, is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no change, nor shadow of alteration.
18 Harc bere vorondatez engendratu vkan gaitu eguiazco hitzaz, haren creaturetaco primitiác beçala guinençát.
For of his own will hath he begotten us by the word of truth, that we might be some beginning of his creatures.
19 Halacotz, ene anaye maiteác, biz guiçon gucia ençutera lehiati, berantcor minçatzera, eta berantcor asserretzera.
You know, my dearest brethren. And let every man be swift to hear, but slow to speak, and slow to anger.
20 Ecen guiçonaren asserreac Iaincoaren iustitiá eztu complitzen.
For the anger of man worketh not the justice of God.
21 Halacotz, iraitziric cithalqueria gucia eta malitiazco superfluitatea, emetassunequin recebi eçaçue, çuetan landatu hitza, ceinec salua ahal baititzaque çuen arimác.
Wherefore casting away all uncleanness, and abundance of naughtiness, with meekness receive the ingrafted word, which is able to save your souls.
22 Eta çareten hitzaren eguile eta ez solament ençule, ceuron buruäc enganatzen dituçuela.
But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.
23 Ecen baldin norbeit hitzaren ençule bada eta ez eguile, hura mirailean bere beguitharte naturala consideratzen duen guiçonaren pare da.
For if a man be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he shall be compared to a man beholding his own countenance in a glass.
24 Ecen consideratu vkan du bere buruä, eta ioan içan da, eta bertan ahance çayó nolaco cen.
For he beheld himself, and went his way, and presently forgot what manner of man he was.
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 he that hath looked into the perfect law of liberty, and hath continued therein, not becoming a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work; this man shall be blessed in his deed.
26 Baldin cembeitec vste badu religioso dela çuen artean, bridatzen eztuelaric bere mihia, baina bere bihotza enganatzen duelaric, halacoaren religionea vano da.
And if any man think himself to be religious, not bridling his tongue, but deceiving his own heart, this man’s religion is vain.
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 clean and undefiled before God and the Father, is this: to visit the fatherless and widows in their tribulation: and to keep one’s self unspotted from this world.
