Yakubu 2
1 Nuwana ning, na iwa dortu uyinnu sa uyenu un Cikilari bite Yisa Kristi, Cikilari ngongon, nin su liti sa maferu feru ba.
My brothers, ye should not have the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ of glory, in favoritism.
2 Asa umong npira ada se minu nan nya lisosin mine nin ficancan fin zinariya nin nimon igegeme, umong tutun pira kikimon unan diru nimon nacara nin nimọn ndinong,
For if a man with a gold ring in bright clothing comes into your synagogue, and also a poor man in dirty clothing comes in,
3 anung ani nceo ayi mine kiti nnit unan nimon igegeme, inin woroghe ''cikusu da so kiti kigegeme'' inin woro unan diru nimon nacare, ''Yisina kikani'' sa ''So nabunu ning,''
and ye have regard for the man wearing the bright clothing, and say to him, Sit thou here well, and ye say to the poor man, Stand thou there, or sit here below my footstool,
4 na anughe din su ushara nan nya nati mine, iso anan shara nin kpilizu unanzan ba?
then are ye not partial among yourselves, and become judges from evil thoughts?
5 Lanzan nuwana nayi ningh, na Kutellẹ na fere anan sali nimon nacara in yih ulele iso anan nimon nan nya yinnu sa uyenu nin sen gadu tigoh na awasu likawali udu kiti nale na idumun su me ba?
Listen, my beloved brothers, did not God choose the poor of the world, rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom, which he promised to those who love him?
6 Anunghe nin di yassu anan diru nimon nacara! Na anan nimon nacarere din yoh minu bå, na inunghere din cin ninghinu kutẹin nsharawe bå?
But ye have dishonored the poor man. Do not the rich exploit you, and they themselves drag you into courts?
7 Na anan nimon nacarere din nanzu lisa ligegeme longo na iwa yicila minu mun ba?
Do they not blaspheme the good name that was called upon you?
8 Vat nin nani asa ukulo uduka tigowe nafo na ina yertu nan nya liru Kutellẹ, ''Uma su usü nnan lisosin kupofe nafo litife,'' usu gegeme.
If ye indeed fulfill the royal law according to the scripture, Thou shall love thy neighbor as thyself, ye do well.
9 Nin nani asa ufere among usu nani imon icine, udin su kulapi, ushara nkifofi ina nin so anan nalapi.
But if ye respect personages, ye work sin, being convicted by the law as transgressors.
10 Ulenge na adoffino uduka vat, aminin tana nan nya nrum cas, aso unan tanu nan nyan duke vat.
For whoever keeps the whole law, and stumbles on one, he has become guilty of all.
11 Ame Kutellẹ na ana woro “Na uwa su uzina ba,'' amere kuru aworo ''na uwa molsu anit ba,'' andi na usu uzina, umini na molo unit, uso unan kalin duka Kutellẹ.
For he who said thou shall not commit adultery, also said thou shall not murder. Now if thou will not commit adultery, but murder, thou have become a transgressor of law.
12 Nani imon ile na idin bellẹ na iso innare idin sue, nafo na ale na iba sunani ushara nbuntu.
So speak ye, and so do ye, as men who are to be judged by a law of liberty.
13 Bara ushara din dasu sa nkune-kune kiti nalenge na idin dursu nkune- kune ba. Nkune-kune din li likaran shara.
For the judgment is merciless to him who did no mercy. Mercy triumphs over judgment.
14 Iyaghari gegeme nuwana nin assa umonn nworo adumun nin yinnu sa uyenu a na ayita nin katwa kacine ba, uleli u yinnu sa uyene wasa utuchu-ghe?
What is the benefit, my brothers, if some man should say to have faith, but has no works? Can the faith save him?
15 Asa gwana kilime sa kishono din pizuru nimon shonu kidowo nin nimonli liyirin,
And if a brother or sister may be unclothed, and may be destitute of daily food,
16 umaong nan nya mine woro nani ''cang idi so mang, ilanza momo illi ishito, a na anung in nin nani imonle na idin pizure bara kidowo ba, iyaghari ngegeme?
and some man of you would say to them, Go in peace, be ye warmed and fed, but ye would not give them the things necessary for the body, what is the benefit?
17 Nanere wang unin uyinnu sa uyenu andi na katwa kacine duku ba, libiari.
So also faith, if it has no works, is dead by itself.
18 Vat nani asa umong woro, ''Fe dumun yinnu sa uyenu, a meng yita nin katuwa kacine,'' dursai uyinnu sa uyenu fe sa katuwa, meng ba dursu fi uyinnu sa yenu ninghe nan nya katwa nighe.
But some man will say, Thou have faith, and I have works. Show me thy faith from thy works, and I will show thee from my works my faith.
19 Uyinna Kutellẹ kurumari nanere. Agbergenu wang in yinna nani ketuzu.
Thou believe that there is one God, thou do well. The demons also believe, and shudder.
20 Udi nin su uyinin wangha unit ulala, nworu uyinnu sa uyenu sa katuwa uso hem.
But do thou want to know, O vain man, that faith apart from works is dead?
21 Ndunsu ame Ibrahimẹ, uciff in yinnu sa uyenu bite wa se useru kiti Kutellẹ bara katuwa kacine na awa nakpa gono me Ishaku kiti Kutellẹ?
Was not Abraham our father made righteous from works, having offered up Isaac his son upon the altar?
22 Uyene uyinnu sa uyenu me na cinu nin katuwa me, nanere wang katuwa me na kulo nan nya yinnu sa uyenu me.
Thou see that faith was working with his works, and from the works, faith was fully perfected.
23 Nanere uliru Kutellẹ wa kulo na uwa woro “Ibrahim wa yinnin nin Kutellẹ, unnere iwa bataghe unan fiu Kutellẹ.” Bara nani iwa yicughe udondon Kutellẹ.
And the scripture was fulfilled, which says, And Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned to him for righteousness, and he was called a friend of God.
24 Uyenẹ, kiti katuwari unit nse usurtu, na kitenen yinnu sa uyenu chas ba.
Ye see therefore that from works a man is made righteous, and not from faith only.
25 Nanere wang Rahap ukilaki wase usurtu bara katwa kacine, kubẹ na awa seru anan kadura, a duro nani long libau ugang?
And likewise also was not Rahab the harlot made righteous from works, having received the agents, and having sent them out another way?
26 Nafo kidowa sa nfip libbiari, Nanere wang uyinnu sa uyeni sa katuwa libbiari.
For as the body without a spirit is dead, so also faith without the works is dead.
