Santiago 1
1 IACQVES Iaincoaren eta Iesus Christ Iaunaren cerbitzariac, hamabi leinu barreyatuey, salutatione.
James, of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ a servant, to the Twelve Tribes who are in the dispersion: Hail!
2 Ene anayeác, bozcario perfectotan educaçue tentatione diuersetara eror çaiteztenean:
All joy count [it], my brethren, when ye may fall into temptations manifold;
3 Daquiçuelaric ecen çuen fedearen phorogançác patientia engendratzen duela.
knowing that the proof of your faith doth work endurance,
4 Baina patientiác obra perfectoa biu, perfect eta integro çaretençat, deusen falta etzaretelaric.
and let the endurance have a perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire — in nothing lacking;
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 do lack wisdom, let him ask from God, who is giving to all liberally, and not reproaching, and it shall be given to him;
6 Baina federequin esca bedi, batre dudatzen eztuela: ecen dudatzen duena, haiceaz erabilten eta tormentatzen den itsas bagaren pare da.
and let him ask in faith, nothing doubting, for he who is doubting hath been like a wave of the sea, driven by wind and tossed,
7 Ezteçala bada estima guiçon harc deus Iaunaganic recebituren duela:
for let not that man suppose that he shall receive anything from the Lord —
8 Guiçon gogo doblatacoa, inconstant da bere bide gucietan.
a two-souled 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.
and the rich in his becoming low, because as a flower of grass he shall 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 did rise with the burning heat, and did wither the grass, and the flower of it fell, and the grace of its appearance did perish, so also the rich in his way shall fade away!
12 Dahatsu da tentatione suffritzen duen guiçona: ecen phorogatu datenean recebituren duque, Iaunac hura maite duteney promettatu drauen vicitzeco coroá.
Happy the man who doth endure temptation, because, becoming approved, he shall receive the crown of the life, which the Lord did promise 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 say, being tempted — 'From God I am tempted,' for God is not tempted of evil, and Himself doth tempt no one,
14 Baina batbedera tentatzen da bere guthicia propriaz tiratzen eta bazcatzen denean.
and each one is tempted, by his own desires being led away and enticed,
15 Guero guthiciá, concebitu duenean, ertzen da bekatuz: eta bekatuac acabatu denean, herio engendratzen du.
afterward the desire having conceived, doth give birth to sin, and the sin having been perfected, doth bring forth death.
16 Etzaiteztela abusa, ene anaye maiteác.
Be not led astray, my brethren beloved;
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 the 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 counselled, He did beget 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 brethren beloved, 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 the righteousness of God doth not work;
21 Halacotz, iraitziric cithalqueria gucia eta malitiazco superfluitatea, emetassunequin recebi eçaçue, çuetan landatu hitza, ceinec salua ahal baititzaque çuen arimác.
wherefore having put aside all filthiness and superabundance of evil, in meekness be receiving the engrafted word, that is able to save your souls;
22 Eta çareten hitzaren eguile eta ez solament ençule, ceuron buruäc enganatzen dituçuela.
and become ye 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 any one is a hearer of the word and not a doer, this one hath 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 did view himself, and hath gone away, and immediately he did forget of what kind 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.
and he who did look into the perfect law — that of liberty, and did continue there, this one — not a forgetful hearer becoming, but a doer of work — this one shall be happy 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 any one doth think to be religious among you, not bridling his tongue, but deceiving his heart, of this one vain [is] the religion;
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 — unspotted to keep himself from the world.
