Yakubu 1
1 Yakubu, kucin Kutellẹ nin Chikilari Yisa Kristi, udu kiti nakura likure nin naba na iwa malu kiti nin ghinu, ndin lisu minu.
James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are of the Dispersion, greeting.
2 Yiran vat nmanghari nuwana ning, kubi ko na uniyu ngangan nse minu,
Count it all joy, my brethren, when ye fall into manifold temptations;
3 Yinnon nworu uyinnu sa uyenu mine din dasu nin nayi akone sa ligan.
Knowing that the proof of your faith worketh patience.
4 Na ayi akone kulu katuwa me, lnan lawa anit awasara, anan nsalin ndiru nimon.
And let patience have [its] perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, lacking in nothing.
5 Asa umon mine dini su ayita jinji, na atirin kiti lenge na adi nizu, Kutellẹ, adin nizu gbardang sa ugbaru kitin le na atirino, Kutellẹ ma nighe.
But if any of you lacketh wisdom, let him ask of God, who giveth to all liberally and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.
6 Bara nani tirino nan nya yinnu sa uyenu, na nin kosu kibinayi ba, ule na adinsu nin kosu kibinayi amasin nafo kibarak nmyen kurawa, fongo na ufunu din chunmung ukillọ mung.
But let him ask in faith, nothing doubting: for he that doubteth is like the surge of the sea driven by the wind and tossed.
7 Na unit une nwa ceo kibinayi nworu aba seru imene na adi nin suwẹ kitin in Chikilari ba;
For let not that man think that he shall receive anything of the Lord;
8 Imusi nnit une unan kossu kibinayari, na ayisin libau lirum ba.
a doubleminded man, unstable in all his ways.
9 Na gwana ule na asali nin nimon nacara ase ngongong nan nya liyisin me.
But let the brother of low degree glory in his high estate:
10 Ame gwana ka na adumun nimon nacara toltin litime, bara na ama katu nafo kumamu na kuwasa kuyelte.
and the rich, in that he is made low: because as the flower of the grass he shall pass away.
11 Asa awui nuzu ninpui gwawai uta amommu koto, amammu nin chaut nani yeltizẹ. Nanere wang anan nimon nacara ba lawu anan nsali nimon nan nya nituwa minẹ.
For the sun ariseth with the scorching wind, and withereth the grass; and the flower thereof falleth, and the grace of the fashion of it perisheth: so also shall the rich man fade away in his goings.
12 Unan nmareri ule na atere ulle na a tere kibinayi, nan nya dumunu, aleo likara nan nya dumunẹ, aba seru litapa tigoh longo na ina ti anan su Kutellẹ likawali.
Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he hath been approved, he shall receive the crown of life, which [the Lord] promised to them that love him.
13 Yenje umon wa woro kubi kongo na idumunghe, '' Ulenge udumune unuzu kiti Kutellẹri,'' bara na Kutellẹ din dumunu unit nin magunta ba, amẹ Kutellẹ litime din dumuzunu umong ba.
Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, and he himself tempteth no man:
14 Ko uyeme unit asa ase udumunu bara uti kibinayi mangunta mere, ulle na asa ukpeshilinghe uwununghe likot.
but each man is tempted, when he is drawn away by his own lust, and enticed.
15 Usu kibinayi nwati liburi asa umara kulapi, kulapi nwa kuno kang kuda nin kul.
Then the lust, when it hath conceived, beareth sin: and the sin, when it is fullgrown, bringeth forth death.
16 Nana ning yenje iwa risuzu minu.
Be not deceived, my beloved brethren.
17 Ko uyeme ufillu ugegeme nin fillu ulau udin nucu kitene kani utolu udak nnuzu kitin Ncif nkanang. Na adin sakuzu kidowo nafo ushin ba.
Every good gift and every perfect boon is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom can be no variation, neither shadow that is cast by turning.
18 Kutellẹ na fere ani nari ulai unuzu ligbulang kidegen, bara tinan so kumat ncizinu nan nya makekewẹ.
Of his own will he brought us forth by the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures.
19 Anung yiru nani, nuwana kibinayi nin. Na ulanzu yita kogha ku deddai, na anan liru kpaikpai ba, ana unan tinanayi deddai ba,
Ye know [this], my beloved brethren. But let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:
20 bara na tina nayi nanit din su katuwa kacine Kutellẹ ba.
for the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God.
21 Bara nani kallan vat akara ananangza nin magunta na udin kowẹ, na nin tikunang liti ba seren tigbulang to na tiba damun nin tucu nidowo mine.
Wherefore putting away all filthiness and overflowing of wickedness, receive with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls.
22 Dortong tigbulanghe, na iwadi anan lanzu cas ba, na iwa rusuzu atimine ba.
But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deluding your own selves.
23 Asa ulle na adin lanzunligbulang nliru na adin su katuwa mun, adi nafo unit ulle na adin yenju nan nya madubi.
For if any one is a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a mirror:
24 Awasa ayene umuro me, as a gya, asa ashawa sa iyizari ayita.
for he beholdeth himself, and goeth away, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was.
25 Nanere unit ulle na adin yenju gegeme nan nyan shara ulau, ushara lidu kibolo, nbuntu, nin lin bun dortoe, nama unan lanzun nin shauzue ban iba ti unit une nmari awa sunani.
But he that looketh into the perfect law, the [law] of liberty, and [so] continueth, being not a hearer that forgetteth, but a doer that worketh, this man shall be blessed in his doing.
26 Ulenge na ayira litime ame unan dortu Kutellẹri, ana adin kiffizu lilemme ba, adin rusuzu litime, udortu Kutellẹ me uhemari.
If any man thinketh himself to be religious, while he bridleth not his tongue but deceiveth his heart, this man’s religion is vain.
27 Udortu-Kutellẹ ucicik ulau na Kutellẹ na Uchif bite din yenju, anare ubunu nikimon, nin na nan kul na less, nan nya nio mine, anin kesse litime nan nya in yih unanzang.
Pure religion and undefiled before our God and Father is this, to visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, [and] to keep himself unspotted from the world.
