James 2
1 My brothers, don’t hold the faith of our glorious Lord Jesus Christ with partiality.
N kpiiba, yinba yabi n daani ti yonbidaano jesu kilisito yua n pia ti kpiagdi yen, la ke ŋani yin ya tiendi n gagdima bi niba siigan nni.
2 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,
Min bani yaali tie: ne o nilo ya cua ke kua li nintigilin, ke pili wula biagi bii i ligi mɔni biaga, ke gɔa yie ya tiadi n pia ti kpiagidi, ke o luodo mɔ kua ki yie akpalcala.
3 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”
I yi jigndi yua yie ti tiakpiagidi yen, ke yedo: “kali ne tijigdi ya kalkaanu po, Ama ke nan yedi o luodo “fini n ya se lan kani bii fin wani n kali tinga nni t taana po.
4 haven’t you shown partiality among yourselves, and become judges with evil thoughts?
Nani yii tiendi m gagdima i yanma nni ke gɔa yi i yula buud danma yeni i maal biidi kaaa?
5 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?
N kpibuadiba, cengi mani, nani u tienu ke gandi yaabi n tie a luoda ŋanduna nuni po ke ban tua piada li dandanli nni kaaa? Ke gɔa baa wan nian ke ba puba yabi n bua'og kuli o diema nnii?
6 But you have dishonored the poor man. Don’t the rich oppress you and personally drag you before the courts?
Ama yinba, n fali a luoda. Nani a piada ka mabndi ii, ke caa yeni bi buudanba kani.
7 Don’t they blaspheme the honorable name by which you are called?
Bani ka biidi ya yeŋanli n ye i nni.
8 However, if you fulfill the royal law according to the Scripture, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself,” you do well.
Li ya tie k a kubi u tienu diema bali maama, nani lan diani maami yeni. Li yedi: ŋan ya bua a lielo nani ŋan bua ayuli maama yeni.”
9 But if you show partiality, you commit sin, being convicted by the law as transgressors.
Ama yin ya tiendi m gagdima bi niba siiga nni, i tiendi tuonbiidi, li bali maama mɔ buni ke cuo i, kelima yi ke miado.
10 For whoever keeps the whole law, and yet stumbles in one point, he has become guilty of all.
Yua tuo ke kubi li bali maama, ke nan gɔa miindi ba maayenma bibe, o pia i talgi li kuli po.
11 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.
Kelima u tienu yedi: “ŋan da conmi” wani gɔa maadi: “ŋan da kpaa nilo” lan wani ya conmi, bii ke kpaa nilo, a biidi u tienu maama yeni.
12 So speak and so do as men who are to be judged by the law of freedom.
Lani, yin maadi ke gɔa tiendi yal kuli, yin bani k u tienu ba jia i buudi ke ŋaa.
13 For judgment is without mercy to him who has shown no mercy. Mercy triumphs over judgment.
Kelima u tienu n ba jia ti buudi ya yognu yeni, o kan jie mi ninñima yua den cagni o lielo po
14 What good is it, my brothers, if a man says he has faith, but has no works? Can faith save him?
N kpiiba, i li ke li baa ŋani o nilo n yedi ko pia li dandanli ke na ke suani tuonli li po, li pia be ya todima, o dandanli ba fidi ke tindo o?
15 And if a brother or sister is naked and in lack of daily food,
I kpiilo ja bii pua ya luo ti tiayiekaadi, ke gɔa luo daali kuli li bonjekaali.
16 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?
Ke i siigan yendo yedi o, ya kuni yeni mi yanduama, ke ban tongi o mu ke di ke guo, ama ke nan ke pun'o yal n tie tilad o yema po, li pia i laa fuoma?
17 Even so faith, if it has no works, is dead in itself.
Li dandanli mɔ tie yene, li yaa pia atuona li tie yali n kpe.
18 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.
Ama, o nilo ya yedi: “fini a pia li dandanli, n mɔ pia a yuona n ba yedi'o; waan nni, a dandanli yali n ke pia tuona, n mɔ ba waan na n dandanli kelima a tuona po.
19 You believe that God is one. You do well. The demons also believe—and shudder.
A daani k u tienu ye ke tie yendo beba, a tiendi ke liŋani. Ba a cicilibiada mɔ daani yene, ama bi jie ke digidi( jegli).
20 But do you want to know, vain man, that faith apart from works is dead?
Fini, o yanluodaano ne, ŋaabani ke ya dandanli ke pia tuona tie fanfami.
21 Wasn’t Abraham our father justified by works, in that he offered up Isaac his son on the altar?
Nani ti yaja Abalaham tuonŋana po i n cedi ke bi den yi'og o niteginka? Nani wan den tuo ke ba yidi o bijua Isak sala li padibinbindli po yen ka cedi ko tiegi i?
22 You see that faith worked with his works, and by works faith was perfected.
A la ko dandanli den taani ke yegi yeni o tuona, ko tuona yen mɔ den cedi ko dandanli ŋani ke dagdi cai i n.
23 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.
Yeni ke diani yedi yaali n tieni: Abalaham den daani u tienu, ko u tienu nuali o po lan ya bonli ke li tie teginma, lan ya po ke bi yi'ug u tienu dɔnli.
24 You see then that by works a man is justified, and not only by faith.
I la o nilo tiegi kelima o tuona po i. la ke tie li dandanli beba po ka.
25 In the same way, wasn’t Rahab the prostitute also justified by works when she received the messengers and sent them out another way?
Li gɔa tie yeni, liu poconconli Lahabi, o tuona po i ko tie niteginka kelima o den gaa bi tondikaaba cangu ke cedi ke bi tɔgni san tianu ke kuni.
26 For as the body apart from the spirit is dead, even so faith apart from works is dead.
nani ya gbannandi ke pia naano n kpe maama, li tie yeni ke ya dandanli ke yegi yeni a tuona mɔ kpe.
