James 1
1 James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are in the Dispersion: Greetings.
Min jaki, u tienu yeni jesu kilisito naaciemo, n diani yinba piig n buolilie yaaba n yadi yadi ke ye ŋanduna nni kuli po, n fuodi bonŋanla.
2 Count it all joy, my brothers, when you fall into various temptations,
N kpiiba, yin ya nua ya bigina kuli n cua i kani ne tie panmanli ya bona.
3 knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance.
Kelima i bani ke dandanli bignma ba cua yeni i juunli.
4 Let endurance have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.
Ama yin ŋaa ke li juunli n sɔni o tuonli ke juodi cain. ke yin tua ke yaabi n ŋani ke dagdi cain, ki da ke luo ba bonli kuli.
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.
I siigan, nilo ya ke pia mi yanfuoma wan mia u tienu yua tieni bi niba kuli yeni li bulcindi, o kan fun yeni, o ba teni.
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.
Ama wan mia yeni li dandanli, ke da mali ko b la bii o kan lai? Yua mali ko kan la tie nani mi ñinciamu guona, o faalu n figi ke pendi ya yognu yeni.
7 For that man shouldn’t think that he will receive anything from the Lord.
Ya nilo n tie yen kuli n da mali ko ba la liba kuli o yonbidaani kani.
8 He is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.
O tie pala lie daano ke se kaan yendu o bontitiedin kuli.
9 Let the brother in humble circumstances glory in his high position;
Ti kpiiba nni yua n tie luodo pali n ya mani yeni u tien'o n sen'o maama.
10 and the rich, in that he is made humble, because like the flower in the grass, he will pass away.
Yua n tie piado mɔ pali n ya mani yeni u tienu n jiin'o maama, kelima o ba kpe nani o mua puugu yeni.
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.
O yienu pudi ke o wulgu boncianli cedi ke ti muadi kuodi, ko puugu mɔ suodi, lan pia ya jawama mɔ bodi, o piado mɔ bu juodi ke suodi yeni o bontitiedin nni.
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.
Li pamanli ye yeni yua n fidi ki juuni li biginlin nni, kelima bi ya bigno, li kan paadi'o, oba la li miali yali ke kilisito yedi ko ba teni yabi n bua'og yeni.
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.
Bi ya tunlin o nilo ya yognu, wan da yedi: “o tienu n tunlin nni” kelima bi kan tunlin u tienu wan tieni yaali n bia, wan u tienu mɔ kan tunlin nilo ba kuli.
14 But each one is tempted when he is drawn away by his own lust and enticed.
Nilo kuli tunlini yeni o maalma, ke kua ti biidin ke li baadi yeni mi kuuma.
15 Then the lust, when it has conceived, bears sin. The sin, when it is full grown, produces death.
Lan wani, o maal biidi ya punbi, li ba mali ti tuonbiidi, ti tuonbiidi mɔ ya yendi o gbannandi kuli i, lan cua yeni mi kuuma.
16 Don’t be deceived, my beloved brothers.
N kpibuadiba, yin da bɔndi mani i yula.
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.
Li seli yeniya paabu ŋani ñana polu, mi yinyiema baa kani, naani ke bɔnbɔnli, yeni lebdima ki ye.
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.
U tienu yanbuama po i, ko den mal'ti, kelima o mɔnmɔni po ke tin ya tie o tagma nni kuli o kpiagdi.
19 So, then, my beloved brothers, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, and slow to anger;
N kpibuadiba, yin bandi ya bonli ne, li pundi ke yua kuli n cengi tontoni, ki da maadi tonma, ke da biendi o pali tontoni mɔ.
20 for the anger of man doesn’t produce the righteousness of God.
Kelima o nisaalo pabienli kan fidi ki yeg yeni u tienu sanu.
21 Therefore, putting away all filthiness and overflowing of wickedness, receive with humility the implanted word, which is able to save your souls.
Lan wani, yin lu mani yaali n tie jɔgindi yeni mi biadima kuli, ke ya ŋua u tienu n buliya maama i pala nni yeni kelima li ba fidi ki tindi i maalma
22 But be doers of the word, and not only hearers, deluding your own selves.
Yin da cengi u tienu maama beba, ke bondi i yula k mi cengma dagdi ama yin ya tiendi lan yedi yaali mɔ.
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;
Kelima yua n cengi u tienu maama ke nan k tiendi lan buali yaali yua n nua o nungo n tie maama e nunualiga nni.
24 for he sees himself, and goes away, and immediately forgets what kind of man he was.
O ya siedi wan sundi tonitoni.
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.
Ama yua n cengi bonŋanla ya balimaama n ŋani cain, ki faabi bi niba, ki tiani wan cengi yaali, ki tiendi lan yedi yaali, lan nilo la li seli wan tiendi yaal kuli nni.
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.
O nilo ya tama ko juuni ke naa cuo u lanbu, o bɔndi o yuli. Lan ya nilo ya jaanma tie fanfanmi.
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.
Ya jaanma ŋani cain, ke nan ke pia jɔngindi ti baa u tienu nintualin tie: ki ya todi a kpieba yeni a pikuana bi fala nni ke gɔa cuo oba yeni ŋanduna jɔngindi.
