James 2
1 My brothers, don’t hold the faith of our glorious Lord Jesus Christ with partiality.
Toronoo nggare! Saa de mae hei mimihere neu Yesus Kristus, hita malangga manaselin naa, te hei feꞌe mete mataꞌ? Afiꞌ taꞌo naa!
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,
Onaꞌ hambu atahori rua risiꞌ hei ume hule-oꞌe ma. Esa pake bꞌua makahahadꞌoꞌ ma ndeli liloꞌ sofe liman. Esa fai pake bꞌua manggenggeoꞌ.
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”
De hei mutumue simbo atahori mana pake bꞌua makahahadꞌoꞌ a, ma fee ne mamana maloleꞌ sia mataꞌ, te mana pake bꞌua manggenggeoꞌ a, hei denu e mae, “Mumburiꞌ sia deaꞌ naa! Hokoꞌ na endoꞌ muꞌ a raeꞌ a!”.
4 haven’t you shown partiality among yourselves, and become judges with evil thoughts?
Mete ma hei mete mataꞌ taꞌo naa, hei onaꞌ mana nggero dedꞌeat nda tungga ndoon sa. Hambu dudꞌuꞌa deꞌulakaꞌ nauli nggi taꞌo naa.
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?
Toronoo susue nggare! Lamatualain pili nala atahori mana tudꞌa-loloeꞌ sia raefafoꞌ ia, fo ramahere tebꞌe-tebꞌeꞌ neu E, naa onaꞌ suꞌit sia rala nara. Ana o pili nala se fo dadꞌi Eni rau-inggun boe. Ana helu-fuli basa naa fee neu atahori mana sue Eni.
6 But you have dishonored the poor man. Don’t the rich oppress you and personally drag you before the courts?
No mete mataꞌ taꞌo naa, hei miloe-midꞌae atahori mana tudꞌa-loloeꞌ ra. Tao-tao te ara nda tao deꞌulaka saa neu nggi sa boe. Liliiꞌ, do? Atahori mamasuꞌi ra mana tuni-ndeni nggi. Ara o soaꞌ a rapepenggo, lea-nore nggi misiꞌ mamana nggero-furiꞌ a. Ara soa mina-maꞌen, ma hei hambu seen.
7 Don’t they blaspheme the honorable name by which you are called?
Hei ia ra, Lamatuaꞌ Yesus atahori nara. Te atahori mamasuꞌiꞌ ra akaꞌ olaꞌ ralutu Lamatuaꞌ Yesus nara malolen! Saa de ama akaꞌ sangga ralaꞌ mo se?
8 However, if you fulfill the royal law according to the Scripture, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself,” you do well.
Malole lenaꞌ, ama tao tungga Lamatuaꞌ hohoro-lalanen esa meulaun lenaꞌ oi, “musi sue atahori laen onaꞌ aom.” Hohoro-lalaneꞌ naa nenesuraꞌ sia Lamatualain Susura Meumaren.
9 But if you show partiality, you commit sin, being convicted by the law as transgressors.
Te mete ma hei akaꞌ mete mataꞌ ma haꞌi ralaꞌ mo atahori mamasuꞌiꞌ a, hei milena-langga Lamatuaꞌ hohoro-lalanen ena. Tungga Lamatuaꞌ hohoro-lalanen, na, hei sala ena.
10 For whoever keeps the whole law, and yet stumbles in one point, he has become guilty of all.
Mete ma atahori tao tungga basa Lamatuaꞌ hohoro-lalanen, te ana nalena-langga akaꞌ atoran esa o, naa onaꞌ ana nalena-langga basa se.
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.
Lamatuaꞌ fee basa atoran nae, “Afiꞌ hohongge.” Ana o fee atoran laen nae, “Afiꞌ tao misa atahori.” Dadꞌi mete ma hei nda hohongge sa, te tao misa atahori, naa onaꞌ hei milena-langga basa Lamatualain hohoro-lalanen ena.
12 So speak and so do as men who are to be judged by the law of freedom.
De mete ma hei mae olaꞌ do tao dalaꞌ sa, hei musi misinedꞌa taꞌo ia: dei fo Lamatualain mana naꞌetuꞌ nae hita tao tungga Eni atoran na fo sue atahori do hokoꞌ. Atoran naa, mana mboꞌi hendi nggita mia Lamatuaꞌ huku-dꞌokin.
13 For judgment is without mercy to him who has shown no mercy. Mercy triumphs over judgment.
Lamatuaꞌ nda kasian atahori mana nda kasian atahori laen sa. Te mete ma hei miꞌena kasian mbali atahori laen, na, Lamatuaꞌ o naꞌena kasian neu nggi boe. Afi mimitau simbo Lamatuaꞌ huku-dꞌokin, Huu Ana ito-reken basa naa ra ena.
14 What good is it, my brothers, if a man says he has faith, but has no works? Can faith save him?
Toronoo nggare! Mete ma atahori sa nae eni namahere Lamatuaꞌ, te nda tao saa-saa natudꞌu nemeheren sa, na, nda ngguna saa sa boe. Nemehereꞌ mataꞌ naa nda fee ne masodꞌaꞌ sa.
15 And if a brother or sister is naked and in lack of daily food,
Onaꞌ hambu aꞌa touꞌ do aꞌa inaꞌ sa toꞌa saa esa tebꞌe-tebꞌeꞌ, onaꞌ nda ma bꞌua-bꞌaꞌuꞌ sa, do nda naꞌena nanat fai-fai esa sa.
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?
Mete ma hei mifadꞌeꞌ maeꞌ a, “mumuhena Lamatuaꞌ fee papala-babꞌanggiꞌ neu nggo”! Afiꞌ mumuhedꞌi, ma afi mate-ndoes, e!” Olaꞌ taꞌo naa nggunan sa, mete ma hei nda tao saa-saa fo tulun neu se sa?
17 Even so faith, if it has no works, is dead in itself.
Dadꞌi mumuhereꞌ a na, nda feꞌe dai sa! Mete ma nemehere, te nda tao tungga nemehereꞌ naa sa, naa nda naran ‘nemehere’ sa. Nemehereꞌ naa mate ena, huu nda naꞌena ngguna saa sa boe.
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.
Hambu atahori rareresi rae, “Atahori mamahereꞌ ruma ramahere rae sia hambu masodꞌaꞌ huu nemehere nara neu Lamatua, te ruma ramahere rae sira hambu masodꞌaꞌ huu sira tatao malolen.” Te dꞌalan taꞌo ia: bukti mia nemeherem na, naeni tatao malole mara. Mete ma nda tao dꞌala maloleꞌ ra sa, au nda ita bukti mia nemeherem sa. Au bisa utudꞌu nemehere ngga, no dꞌala maloleꞌ fo au taoꞌ ra.
19 You believe that God is one. You do well. The demons also believe—and shudder.
Tungga nenoriꞌ mana nae, “Lamatualain naa, mesaꞌ ne, nda hambu laen sa.” Naa, malole boe! Te nitu ra rahine lena nggo, huu ara o ramehere taꞌo naa boe, losa ara nggenggeꞌer ramatau, te huu nemehere nara nda nendi fee se masodꞌaꞌ sa. Dadꞌi afiꞌ duꞌa mae, muhine mendiꞌ a utam na dai ena. Hokoꞌ! Nggoaꞌ ee! Matetun, nemehereꞌ mana nda naꞌena bukti sa, nda ma ngguna saa sa boe.
20 But do you want to know, vain man, that faith apart from works is dead?
21 Wasn’t Abraham our father justified by works, in that he offered up Isaac his son on the altar?
Hai conto mia baꞌi Abraham. Leleꞌ naa, ana tao tungga saa fo Lamatuaꞌ parenda neu e, de nendi anan Isak fo ndae neu mei tutunu-hohotuꞌ ata. Huu naa, Lamatualain nae “Abraham tao ndaa ena.”
22 You see that faith worked with his works, and by works faith was perfected.
Abraham namahere neu Lamatuaꞌ, losa ana simbo fo tao tungga Lamatuaꞌ parendan. Dadꞌi tahine tae, ana namahere teme-ao neu Lamatuaꞌ, huu ana tao tungga parendaꞌ naa.
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.
Dadꞌi basa ia ra dadꞌi onaꞌ saa manasuraꞌ sia susura meumareꞌ oi, “Abraham namahere neu Lamatuaꞌ, ma Lamatuaꞌ simbo nala e dadꞌi atahori rala ndoos.” Ma nenesuraꞌ boe oi, Abraham naa, Lamatuaꞌ nonoon.”
24 You see then that by works a man is justified, and not only by faith.
Mihine ena, to! Hita tahine tae, Lamatualain simbo atahori, mete ma ana namahere neu Lamatualain ma hiiꞌ a tao dꞌala maloleꞌ ra boe. Akaꞌ nemehereꞌ a, naa nda feꞌe dai sa.
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?
Nekendandaaꞌ esa fai mia ina Rahab. Inaꞌ naa langga fatu eniꞌ a maꞌahulun. Leleꞌ atahori Jeriko ra sangga rae risa atahori Israꞌel mana maku-maꞌu nara, Rahab neu naꞌakekekeꞌ se. Ana denu se rela tungga dalaꞌ laen, fo atahori ra nda humu rala se sa. De Lamatuaꞌ simbo nala e dadꞌi ina rala ndoos, huu tatao malolen.
26 For as the body apart from the spirit is dead, even so faith apart from works is dead.
Nemehereꞌ mana nda naꞌena bukti sa, ona ao-sisiꞌ nda naꞌena ani-hahaeꞌ sa, naa mates ena. Onaꞌ naa boe, mete ma atahori sa namahere Lamatuaꞌ, te nda tao dꞌala maloleꞌ sa, naa ombo-koson! Naa nda nemehereꞌ matetuꞌ sa.
