James 1
1 James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are in the Dispersion: Greetings.
Sodꞌa-moleꞌ mia au, Yakobis. Au ia, Lamatualain no hita malanggan Yesus Kristus, atahori dedenun. Au suraꞌ susura ia fee hei atahori Yahudi, mana tungga Lamatuaꞌ Yesus, mana leo-lao sia bee-bꞌee.
2 Count it all joy, my brothers, when you fall into various temptations,
Toronoo nggare! Au ae ufadꞌe taꞌo ia: mete ma ama hambu sususaꞌ mataꞌ-mataꞌ, na, afiꞌ masaloe. Simbo no rala nemehoꞌot, te dei fo bꞌuna bꞌoan maloleꞌ.
3 knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance.
Te ata bubꞌuluꞌ tae, mete ma see naꞌatataaꞌ sia sususaꞌ, losa nasenggiꞌ sosobꞌa-dꞌodꞌouꞌ a, ma feꞌe mimihere mikindoo neu Lamatuaꞌ, naa tao nggi bꞌau matu-matu mete ma hambu sosobꞌaꞌ laen.
4 Let endurance have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.
Dadꞌi ama afiꞌ mimitau sususaꞌ. Te ama minori miꞌitataaꞌ sia sususaꞌ losa ama dadꞌi matetuꞌ. No taꞌona, nemehere mara boe naꞌoka nahereꞌ sia Lamatuaꞌ, de nda toꞌa taa esa saa boe.
5 But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him.
Mete ma hei ruma mimedꞌa nda hambu dalaꞌ fo miꞌitataaꞌ mia sususaꞌ sa, hei mitane mbali Lamatuaꞌ mana nahine basaꞌ e. Eni mana natudꞌu dalaꞌ fee nggi. Eni mana fee nggi dudꞌuꞌa maloleꞌ no rala nemehoꞌot, ma nda namanasa nggi sa, mete ma hei moꞌe mbali E.
6 But let him ask in faith, without any doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, driven by the wind and tossed.
Mete ma moꞌe mia E, afi moꞌe no rala seseriꞌ. Hei musi mimihere tebꞌe-tebꞌeꞌ mae Ana bisa fee saa fo hei moꞌeꞌ a. Te atahori mana roꞌe no rala seseriꞌ, ana onaꞌ ree fo anin fuu e rae-ata nda natetu-nandaa sa.
7 For that man shouldn’t think that he will receive anything from the Lord.
Atahori se ralan nabꞌabꞌanggi no mudaꞌ onaꞌ naa, ana nda matetuꞌ sia basa dalaꞌ ra sa. Afiꞌ mimihena mae ana hambu saa-saa mia Lamatuaꞌ e boe.
8 He is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.
9 Let the brother in humble circumstances glory in his high position;
Atahori mana tudꞌa-loloeꞌ mana namahere neu Lamatuaꞌ Yesus, musi ramahoꞌo, huu Lamatualain soꞌu nala se dadꞌi bobꞌonggin ena.
10 and the rich, in that he is made humble, because like the flower in the grass, he will pass away.
Ma atahori mamasuꞌiꞌ mana ramahere neu Lamatuaꞌ Yesus ena, ara o musi tao ralan nara ramahoꞌo, huu Lamatuaꞌ nanori se afiꞌ koao. Ia naa rahine rae, dei fo suꞌi nara mana sambulaloꞌ, onaꞌ bunaꞌ sia lasi a nabꞌuna meulau, te nda doo sa ma relo a haa e, de ana male. Atahori mamasuꞌiꞌ ra o onaꞌ naa boe. Mae sira rasambute ro tatao-nonoꞌi nara, te sira o mana sambulaloꞌ boe.
11 For the sun arises with the scorching wind and withers the grass; and the flower in it falls, and the beauty of its appearance perishes. So the rich man will also fade away in his pursuits.
12 Blessed is a person who endures temptation, for when he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord promised to those who love him.
Lamatuaꞌ fee papala-babꞌanggiꞌ neu atahori mana naꞌatataaꞌ mia sosobꞌaꞌ a losa nasenggiꞌ. Ma ana simbo nala hahambu masoi-masodꞌaꞌ fo Lamatuaꞌ helu basa fee neu atahori mana sue E. Ana simbo hahambun onaꞌ atahori mana nasenggiꞌ a hambu beker.
13 Let no man say when he is tempted, “I am tempted by God,” for God can’t be tempted by evil, and he himself tempts no one.
Misinedꞌa malolole! Mete ma hei ruma hambu sosobꞌaꞌ ma mae tao salaꞌ, afiꞌ rundu mae, “Lamatuaꞌ nae sobꞌa au” Te Lamatualain nda hii-nau tao salaꞌ sa. Ana o nda sobꞌa atahori fo atahori naa hii tao salaꞌ sa.
14 But each one is tempted when he is drawn away by his own lust and enticed.
Te salaꞌ nema mia atahori ralan. Fefeun, ralan nau tao deꞌulakaꞌ, de basa ma ana sangga dalaꞌ nae tao deꞌulakaꞌ.
15 Then the lust, when it has conceived, bears sin. The sin, when it is full grown, produces death.
Boe ma ana tao, tungga dudꞌuꞌa deꞌulakan nakandondooꞌ a. Mateteꞌen, Lamatualain naꞌondaꞌ huku-dꞌoki mamates neu atahori mana tao deꞌulakaꞌ.
16 Don’t be deceived, my beloved brothers.
Toronoo susueꞌ re! Afiꞌ neneꞌediꞌ soꞌal dalaꞌ ia ra.
17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom can be no variation nor turning shadow.
Dꞌala deꞌulakaꞌ ra nda mia Lamatuaꞌ sa. Te ana mana fee basa papala-babꞌanggi maloleꞌ ma basa dꞌala meumareꞌ. Eni mana naꞌadꞌadꞌadꞌiꞌ relo, fulan, ma nduuꞌ ra. Basa se lali-laliꞌ sia lalai, naa de salao nara ubꞌa-ubꞌa rakandooꞌ a. Akaꞌ a Lamatualain nda mana ubꞌaꞌ sa.
18 Of his own will he gave birth to us by the word of truth, that we should be a kind of first fruits of his creatures.
Lamatuaꞌ hihii-nanaun fee hita taꞌo ia: Ana fee dedꞌea-oꞌola matetun nema hita. Ma Ana pake dedꞌea-oꞌolan naa, fo fee hita masodꞌaꞌ. Ana pili nala hita dadꞌi mbule-uluꞌ mia basa saa, fo Ana naꞌadadꞌiꞌ sia raefafoꞌ ia.
19 So, then, my beloved brothers, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, and slow to anger;
Toronoo susue nggare! Misinedꞌa, e! Malolen taꞌo ia: afiꞌ sadꞌiꞌ a olaꞌ a. Malole lenaꞌ, mete ma atahori olaꞌ maloleꞌ, na, nenene malolole dei! Ma afi haelai miminasa.
20 for the anger of man doesn’t produce the righteousness of God.
Te mete ma miminasa, na, ama nda bisa tao dꞌala maloleꞌ tungga Lamatualain hihiin sa.
21 Therefore, putting away all filthiness and overflowing of wickedness, receive with humility the implanted word, which is able to save your souls.
Dadꞌi ama musi nggari hendi basa sala-kilu mara. Onaꞌ atahori raue-rameu tine-osi nara, ma dedꞌe hendi manggarauꞌ ra. Hei o musi simbo Lamatuaꞌ hara-liin no rala neloe-nedꞌaeꞌ. Hara-liiꞌ naa ra onaꞌ fini neneselaꞌ sia rala mara. Mete ma ama tao taꞌo naa, dei fo Lamatuaꞌ mboꞌi hendi nggi mia basa sala-kilu mara, ma simbo nggi fo misodꞌa mikindoo mo E.
22 But be doers of the word, and not only hearers, deluding your own selves.
Mete ma ama mihine Lamatuaꞌ hara-liin, na, tao tungga e. Afiꞌ renaꞌ a! Mete ma hei renaꞌ a, te nda tao tungga sa, hei eꞌedik baliꞌ ao mara.
23 For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man looking at his natural face in a mirror;
Mete ma atahori rena basa hara-liiꞌ naa ra, te nda tao tungga sa, naa onaꞌ atahori sa mete matan sia tiro-ao a. Ana heoꞌ dean, ma liliꞌ hendi mata-aon neuꞌ ena.
24 for he sees himself, and goes away, and immediately forgets what kind of man he was.
25 But he who looks into the perfect law of freedom and continues, not being a hearer who forgets but a doer of the work, this man will be blessed in what he does.
Te Ama afiꞌ taꞌo naa. Ama musi paresaꞌ malole Lamatualain hara-lii matetun, mana bisa tao atahori nenemboꞌit mia sala-kilu nara. Dei fo Lamatuaꞌ fee papala-babꞌanggiꞌ sia basa saa fo hei taoꞌ ra, sadꞌi rena ma tao tungga hara-liiꞌ naa ra. Afiꞌ rena mendiꞌ ndiki diim ma kalua tungga ndiki onam!
26 If anyone among you thinks himself to be religious while he doesn’t bridle his tongue, but deceives his heart, this man’s religion is worthless.
Mete ma atahori sa nae eni atahori maloleꞌ, te nda nanea nala bafan sa, eni eꞌedik baliꞌ aon! Eni nemeheren parsumaꞌ a.
27 Pure religion and undefiled before our God and Father is this: to visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained by the world.
Huu atahori mana namahere tebꞌe-tebꞌeꞌ neu Amaꞌ Lamatuaꞌ, ralan musi matetuꞌ losa nda hambu manggenggeoꞌ saa sa boe. Naa, tao Ama Lamatualain ralan namahoꞌo. Nemehere matetuꞌ onaꞌ naa, tao atahori hii tulufali ina falu ro ana mat ra. Atahori mana naꞌena nemehereꞌ mataꞌ naa, nda hela atahori raefafoꞌ ia kokoe-nanasi se no tatao deꞌulakaꞌ sa.
