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 who are in the dispersion: Greetings!
2 Ene anayeác, bozcario perfectotan educaçue tentatione diuersetara eror çaiteztenean:
Count [it] all joy, my brothers, when you may fall into manifold temptations,
3 Daquiçuelaric ecen çuen fedearen phorogançác patientia engendratzen duela.
knowing that the proof of your faith works endurance,
4 Baina patientiác obra perfectoa biu, perfect eta integro çaretençat, deusen falta etzaretelaric.
and let the endurance have a perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.
5 Eta baldin çuetaric cembeitec sapientia faltaric badu, esca bequió Iaincoari, ceinec emaiten baitraue guciey benignoqui, eta ez reprotchatzen: eta emanen çayó.
And if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask from God, who is giving to all generously, and not reproaching, and it will be given 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 he who is doubting has been like a wave of the sea, driven by wind and tossed;
7 Ezteçala bada estima guiçon harc deus Iaunaganic recebituren duela:
for do not let that man suppose that he will receive anything from the LORD—
8 Guiçon gogo doblatacoa, inconstant da bere bide gucietan.
a soul-split man [is] unstable in all his ways.
9 Gloria bedi bada anaye conditione bachotacoa bere goratassunean:
And let the brother who is low rejoice in his exaltation,
10 Baina abrats dena, gloria bedi bere bachotassunean: ecen belhar lilia beçala iraganen da.
but the rich in his becoming low, because he will pass away as a flower of 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 rose with the burning heat, and withered the grass, and the flower of it fell, and the beauty of its appearance perished, so also the rich in his way will fade away!
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 temptation, because, becoming approved, he will receive the garland of life, which the LORD promised to those loving Him.
13 Nehorc, tentatzen denean, ezterrala Iaincoaz tentatzen dela: ecen Iaincoa ecin tenta daite gaizquiz, eta nehor eztu tentatzen.
Let no one who is being tempted say, “I am tempted from God,” for God is not tempted by evils, and Himself tempts no one,
14 Baina batbedera tentatzen da bere guthicia propriaz tiratzen eta bazcatzen denean.
but each one is tempted, being led away and enticed by his own desires;
15 Guero guthiciá, concebitu duenean, ertzen da bekatuz: eta bekatuac acabatu denean, herio engendratzen du.
afterward the desire having conceived, gives birth to sin, and sin having been perfected, brings forth death.
16 Etzaiteztela abusa, ene anaye maiteác.
Do not be led astray, 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 giving, and every perfect gift, is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variation, or shadow of turning;
18 Harc bere vorondatez engendratu vkan gaitu eguiazco hitzaz, haren creaturetaco primitiác beçala guinençát.
having willed [it], He begot us with a word of truth, for our being a certain first-fruit of His creatures.
19 Halacotz, ene anaye maiteác, biz guiçon gucia ençutera lehiati, berantcor minçatzera, eta berantcor asserretzera.
So then, my beloved brothers, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger,
20 Ecen guiçonaren asserreac Iaincoaren iustitiá eztu complitzen.
for the wrath of a 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.
for this reason, having put aside all filthiness and superabundance of evil, receive the implanted word in meekness, that is able to save your souls;
22 Eta çareten hitzaren eguile eta ez solament ençule, ceuron buruäc enganatzen dituçuela.
and become doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves,
23 Ecen baldin norbeit hitzaren ençule bada eta ez eguile, hura mirailean bere beguitharte naturala consideratzen duen guiçonaren pare da.
because, if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, this one has been like to a man viewing his natural face in a mirror,
24 Ecen consideratu vkan du bere buruä, eta ioan içan da, eta bertan ahance çayó nolaco cen.
for he viewed himself, and has gone away, and immediately he forgot what kind 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 who looked into [the] perfect law—that of liberty, and continued there, not becoming a forgetful hearer, but a doer of work—this one will be blessed in his doing.
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 to be religious among you, not bridling his tongue, but deceiving his heart, the religion of this one [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 pure and undefiled with the God and Father is this: to look after orphans and widows in their tribulation—to keep himself unspotted from the world.
