Jaka 1
1 Mini Jaka, U Tienu leni o Diedo Jesu Kilisiti naacemo, n diani yinba i piiga n buoliedi yi n yayadi ki ye ŋanduna nni kuli po. N fuondi yi.
Jacob, a servant of God and of the Lord Yeshua the Messiah, to the twelve tribes which are in the Diaspora: Greetings.
2 N kpiiba, yin ya nua mani ke ya biigima buoli kuli n cua yi kani tie pamanli bonla.
Count it all joy, my brothers, when you fall into various temptations,
3 Ki ya bani ke yi dandanli biigima baa cuani li juunli.
knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance.
4 Ama li tie tiladi ke li juunli n ya tuuni li tuonli ki dudi cain, ke yin tua yaaba n ŋani ki dagidi cain ki da luo liba kuli.
Let endurance have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.
5 Yi siiga niloba ya luo mi yanfuoma, wan mia U Tienu yua n puuni bi niba kuli leni ti bulicindi kaa fu leni ba, o baa pa o ma.
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.
6 Ama wan mia leni li dandanli, ki da bangi o ya baa baa bi o ya kan baa. Kelima yua n maliti ke daalinba o kan baa tie nani mi ñincianma ñinguona, u faalu n lengidi ki pengi ya yeni.
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.
7 Ya nilo n tie yeni kuli n da tama ke o baa baa liba kuli o Diedo kani.
For that man shouldn’t think that he will receive anything from the Lord.
8 Kelima o tie yama lie daano, waa se kaanyendu o bontienkaala kuli nni.
He is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.
9 Ti kpiiba siiga yua n tie luodo n ya mangidi o pali boncianla leni U Tienu n jigini o maama.
Let the brother in humble circumstances glory in his high position;
10 Yua n tie piado mo n ya mangidi o pali leni U Tienu n jiini o maama, kelima o baa pendi nani ti muadi puuma yeni.
and the rich, in that he is made humble, because like the flower in the grass, he will pass away.
11 Ki yenga pudi ke ki wulitonma tendi ke ti kuodi ke ti puuma mo suodi, tin pia ya jawaama mo bodi. O piado moko baa mali ki suodi yene o ŋantaadi siiga.
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 Li pamanli ye leni yua n fidi ki juuni mi biigima nni. Kelima bi ya biigi o ki pagi o ya yogunu, o baa baa li miali badifogiliga, o Diedo n niani ke o baa pa yaaba n bua o kuli yaaga.
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.
13 Ban tulini o nilo ya yogunu, wan da yedi: “U Tienu n tulini nni”. Kelima bi kan tulini U Tienu wan tieni yaala n bia wani oba mo kan tulini niloba kuli.
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.
14 Bi tulini nilo kuli wani oba bonbuaka-biadila ya dia ki cuo ya yogunu.
But each one is tempted when he is drawn away by his own lust and enticed.
15 Lanwani, o bonbuaka-biadila ya punbi, li baa ma ti tuonbiadi, ti tuonbiadi mo ya kpedi ki dagidi tini mo baa ma mi kuuma.
Then the lust, when it has conceived, bears sin. The sin, when it is full grown, produces death.
16 N kpibuadiba, yin da boandi mani yi yula ya maama n tie na po:
Don’t be deceived, my beloved brothers.
17 Li semoanli leni ya paabu n ŋani kuli ñani tanpoli po, mi yenma Baa kani, wani yua n ki lebidi, ke lebidima jinjingu mo ki ye o niinni.
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.
18 O yanbuama po, o den mali ti kelima i moamoani maama po ke tin ya tie o tagima kuli siiga li bonkpiala.
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.
19 N kpibuadiba, yin bandi line: Li pundi nilo kuli n cengi tontoni ki da maadi tontoni mo, ki da bieni o pali tontoni mo.
So, then, my beloved brothers, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, and slow to anger;
20 Kelima o nisaalo pabienli kan cuani U Tienu teginma.
for the anger of man doesn’t produce the righteousness of God.
21 Lanyaapo yin lu mani yaala n tie ti joagindi leni mi biadima kuli, ki ya gaani U Tienu n buli ya maama yi pala nni leni li yumiinli, kelima mi baa fidi ki tindi yi naani.
Therefore, putting away all filthiness and overflowing of wickedness, receive with humility the implanted word, which is able to save your souls.
22 Yin da cengi U Tienu maama bebe, ki boandi yi yula ke mi cengima yeni dagidi, kali yin ya tiendi man yedi yaala mo.
But be doers of the word, and not only hearers, deluding your own selves.
23 Kelima yua n cengi U Tienu maama ki naa tieni man yedi yaala tie nani yua n nua o nunga n tie maama ki madiibiga nni,
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;
24 ki ñani ki gedi ki sundi tontoni wan tie maama.
for he sees himself, and goes away, and immediately forgets what kind of man he was.
25 Ama yua n nuali boŋanla ya balimaama n ŋani cain ki faabidi bi niba ya niinni ki suagi ki tiendi yeni kaa sundi wan cengi yaala, laa nilo baa pia li pamanli o tuonli nni.
But he who looks into the perfect Torah 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.
26 O nilo ya tama ke o jaani ki naa kubi o lanbu, o boandi o yuli. Laa nilo ya jaanma tie fanma fanma.
If anyone amongst you thinks himself to be religious while he doesn’t bridle his tongue, but deceives his heart, this man’s religion is worthless.
27 Ya jaanma n ŋani cain ki naa pia joagidi U Tienu nintuali tie, ki yaa todi a kpienbila leni a kpepuona bi fala nni, ki go kubi o yuli leni ŋanduna joagindi.
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.
