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, do not hold the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ of glory with partiality.
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 someone with a gold ring, in fine clothing, comes into your synagogue, and a poor person in filthy clothing also 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 you pay special attention to the one who wears the fine clothing, and say, "Sit here in a good place;" but you tell the poor person, "Stand there," or "Sit by my footstool."
4 na anughe din su ushara nan nya nati mine, iso anan shara nin kpilizu unanzan ba?
Have you not discriminated among yourselves, and become judges with 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 those who are poor in this world to be 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 you have dishonored the poor person. Do not the rich oppress you, and personally drag you before the courts?
7 Na anan nimon nacarere din nanzu lisa ligegeme longo na iwa yicila minu mun ba?
Do not they blaspheme the honorable name by which you are called?
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.
However, if you fulfill the royal law, according to the Scripture, "You are to love your neighbor as yourself," you do well.
9 Nin nani asa ufere among usu nani imon icine, udin su kulapi, ushara nkifofi ina nin so anan nalapi.
But if you show partiality, you commit 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 yet stumbles in one point, 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, "Do not commit adultery," also said, "Do not commit murder." Now if you do not commit adultery, but murder, you have become a transgressor of the law.
12 Nani imon ile na idin bellẹ na iso innare idin sue, nafo na ale na iba sunani ushara nbuntu.
So speak, and so do, as those who are to be judged by a law of freedom.
13 Bara ushara din dasu sa nkune-kune kiti nalenge na idin dursu nkune- kune ba. Nkune-kune din li likaran shara.
For judgment is without mercy to him who has shown 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 good is it, my brothers, if someone says he has faith, but has no works? Can faith save him?
15 Asa gwana kilime sa kishono din pizuru nimon shonu kidowo nin nimonli liyirin,
And if a brother or sister is poorly clothed and may be lacking in 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 one of you tells them, "Go in peace, be warmed and filled;" and yet you did not give them the things the body needs, what good is it?
17 Nanere wang unin uyinnu sa uyenu andi na katwa kacine duku ba, libiari.
Even so faith, if it has no works, is dead in 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 someone will say, "You have faith, and I have works." Show me your faith without works, and I by my works will show you my faith.
19 Uyinna Kutellẹ kurumari nanere. Agbergenu wang in yinna nani ketuzu.
You believe that God is one. You 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 you want to know, foolish person, that faith apart from works is useless?
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?
Wasn't Abraham our father justified by works, in that he offered up Isaac his son on 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.
You see that faith worked with his works, and by works faith was 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 credited to him as righteousness;" and he was called the friend of God.
24 Uyenẹ, kiti katuwari unit nse usurtu, na kitenen yinnu sa uyenu chas ba.
You see that a person is justified by works and not by faith alone.
25 Nanere wang Rahap ukilaki wase usurtu bara katwa kacine, kubẹ na awa seru anan kadura, a duro nani long libau ugang?
In like manner was not Rahab the prostitute also justified by works, in that she received the messengers, and sent them out another way?
26 Nafo kidowa sa nfip libbiari, Nanere wang uyinnu sa uyeni sa katuwa libbiari.
For as the body apart from the spirit is dead, even so faith apart from works is dead.
