Yacquub 2
1 Walaalahayow, iimaanka Rabbigeenna Ciise Masiix kan ammaanta leh eexasho ha ku haysanina.
My brethren, hold not the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, [the Lord] of glory, with respect of persons.
2 Haddii nin kaatun dahab ah iyo dhar quruxsan qabaa shirkiinna soo galo, oo haddana haddii nin kale oo miskiin ah oo dhar uskag leh qabaa soo galo,
For if there come into your synagogue a man with a gold ring, in fine clothing, and there come in also a poor man in vile clothing;
3 oo aad fiirisaan ka dharka quruxdasan qaba oo aad ku tidhaahdaan, Adigu kaalay oo halkan wanaagsan fadhiiso, oo aad ku tidhaahdaan ka miskiinka ah, Adigu xaggaas istaag ama halkan cagahayga ag fadhiiso,
and ye have regard to him that weareth the fine clothing, and say, Sit thou here in a good place; and ye say to the poor man, Stand thou there, or sit under my footstool;
4 miyeydnaan kala qaybsamin oo miyeydnaan noqonin kuwa fikirrada sharka leh wax ku xukuma?
are ye not divided in your own mind, and become judges with evil thoughts?
5 I dhegaysta, walaalahayga aan jeclahayow. Miyaan Ilaah u dooran kuwa ah masaakiinta xagga dunida inay ahaadaan kuwa hodan ku ah rumaysadka oo dhaxla boqortooyaduu u ballanqaaday kuwa isaga jecel?
Hearken, my beloved brethren; did not God choose them that are poor as to the world [to be] rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he promised to them that love him?
6 Laakiin idinku waad maamuus jebiseen miskiinkii. Taajiriintu miyaanay idin dulmin oo miyaanay idiin jiidin maxkamadda?
But ye have dishonoured the poor man. Do not the rich oppress you, and themselves drag you before the judgment-seats?
7 Miyaanay caayin magaca wanaagsan oo laydiinku yeedhay?
Do not they blaspheme the honourable name by the which ye are called?
8 Haddaba haddaad oofisaan sharciga boqornimada siduu Qorniinku leeyahay, Waa inaad deriskaaga u jeclaataa sida naftaada, si wanaagsan baad yeeshaan.
Howbeit if ye fulfill the royal law, according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself, ye do well:
9 Laakiin haddaad dadka u kala eexataan waad dembaabtaan, oo sharcigu wuu idinku caddeeyey inaad tihiin kuwa xadgudbay.
but if ye have respect of persons, ye commit sin, being convicted by the law as transgressors.
10 Ku alla kii sharciga oo dhan xajiya oo qaynuun keliya ku gafa, kulli wuu ku eedaysan yahay.
For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet stumble in one [point], he is become guilty of all.
11 Waayo, kii yidhi, Ha sinaysan; wuxuu kaloo yidhi, Cidna ha dilin. Haddaanad sinaysanin laakiin aad dad disho, waxaad noqotay ku sharciga ku xadgudbay.
For he that said, Do not commit adultery, said also, Do not kill. Now if thou dost not commit adultery, but killest, thou art become a transgressor of the law.
12 Sidii kuwo sharciga xorriyadda lagu xukumi doono, u hadla oo u yeela.
So speak ye, and so do, as men that are to be judged by a law of liberty.
13 Xukunku naxariis uma leh kii aan dadka u naxariisan; naxariistu way ka faantaa xukunka.
For judgment [is] without mercy to him that hath shewed no mercy: mercy glorieth against judgment.
14 Maxay tartaa, walaalahayow, haddii nin yidhaahdo, Rumaysad baan leeyahay, laakiin aanu shuqullo lahayn? Rumaysadku ma badbaadin karaa isaga?
What doth it profit, my brethren, if a man say he hath faith, but have not works? can that faith save him?
15 Walaal wiil ah ama walaal gabadh ah hadday arradan yihiin oo cuntadii maalinta u baahan yihiin,
If a brother or sister be naked, and in lack of daily food,
16 oo midkiin ku yidhaahdo iyaga, Nabad gala, diirsada oo dherga, oo weliba aydnaan siin waxa jidhku u baahan yahay, maxay tartaa?
and one of you say unto them, Go in peace, be ye warmed and filled; and yet ye give them not the things needful to the body; what doth it profit?
17 Haddaba sidaas oo kale rumaysadku haddaanu shuqullo lahayn keli ahaantiisu waa meyd.
Even so faith, if it have not works, is dead in itself.
18 Laakiin waxaa la odhan doonaa, Adigu waxaad leedahay rumaysad, anna waxaan leeyahay shuqullo. I tus rumaysadkaaga aan shuqullada lahayn, anna rumaysadkayga shuqulladaydaan kugu tusi doonaa.
Yea, a man will say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith apart from [thy] works, and I by my works will shew thee [my] faith.
19 Waad rumaysan tahay in Ilaah yahay mid keliya. Taas waad ku wanaagsan tahay. Xataa jinniyaduna sidaas way rumaysan yihiin, wayna gariiraan.
Thou believest that God is one; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and shudder.
20 Doqonow, ma doonaysaa inaad garatid in rumaysadka aan shuqullada lahaynu aanu waxba tarin?
But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith apart from works is barren?
21 Miyaan awowgeen Ibraahim shuqullo lagu caddaynin inuu xaq yahay goortuu wiilkiisii Isxaaq meeshii allabariga ku bixiyey?
Was not Abraham our father justified by works, in that he offered up Isaac his son upon the altar?
22 Waad garanaysaa in rumaysadku shuqulladiisii la shaqeeyey, oo rumaysadku kaamil ku noqday shuqullada.
Thou seest that faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect;
23 Waxaa rumoobay Qorniinka leh, Ibraahimna Ilaah buu rumaystay, oo waxaa isaga loogu tiriyey xaqnimo, oo waxaa loogu yeedhay saaxiibkii Ilaah.
and the scripture was fulfilled which saith, And Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned unto him for righteousness; and he was called the friend of God.
24 Waxaad garanaysaan in nin shuqullo lagu caddeeyo inuu xaq yahay oo aan lagu caddayn rumaysadka oo keliya.
Ye see that by works a man is justified, and not only by faith.
25 Sidaas oo kale miyaan dhilladii Raxab ahayd shuqullo lagu caddayn inay xaq tahay kolkay soo dhowaysay basaasyadii oo ay jid kale u dirtay?
And in like manner was not also Rahab the harlot justified by works, in that she received the messengers, and sent them out another way?
26 Sida jidhkii aan ruux lahaynu meyd u yahay, sidaas oo kaluu rumaysadkii aan shuqullo lahaynuna meyd u yahay.
For as the body apart from the spirit is dead, even so faith apart from works is dead.
