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, practice your faith in our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory, without showing 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,
Suppose a man in fine clothing comes into your assembly wearing a gold ring, and a poor man 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,''
If you pay attention to the man who is wearing fine clothing and say to him, “Yoʋ sit here in a good place,” but you say to the poor man, “Yoʋ stand there, or sit here under my footstool,”
4 na anughe din su ushara nan nya nati mine, iso anan shara nin kpilizu unanzan ba?
have you not made distinctions 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, has not God chosen the poor of the world to be rich in faith and heirs of the kingdom that he has 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 man. Is it not the rich who oppress you? Are they not the ones who drag you into court?
7 Na anan nimon nacarere din nanzu lisa ligegeme longo na iwa yicila minu mun ba?
Do they not blaspheme the good 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.
If you really fulfill the royal law according to the Scripture, “Yoʋ shall love yoʋr neighbor as yoʋrself,” 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 and are 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 entire law but stumbles in one point has become guilty of it 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, “Yoʋ shall not commit adultery,” also said, “Yoʋ shall not murder.” Now if yoʋ do not commit adultery but do commit murder, yoʋ 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.
Speak and act as those who will be judged by the 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 judgment is without mercy to anyone who has not shown 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 someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can that faith save him?
15 Asa gwana kilime sa kishono din pizuru nimon shonu kidowo nin nimonli liyirin,
If a brother or sister is poorly clothed and lacks 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 says to them, “Go in peace, be warmed and filled,” without giving them anything to address their physical needs, what is the benefit?
17 Nanere wang unin uyinnu sa uyenu andi na katwa kacine duku ba, libiari.
In the same way faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead.
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, “Yoʋ have faith, and I have works.” Show me yoʋr faith by yoʋr works, and I, by my works, will show yoʋ my faith.
19 Uyinna Kutellẹ kurumari nanere. Agbergenu wang in yinna nani ketuzu.
Yoʋ believe that God is one; yoʋ do well. Even the demons believe—and shudder!
20 Udi nin su uyinin wangha unit ulala, nworu uyinnu sa uyenu sa katuwa uso hem.
Do yoʋ want to be shown, O foolish man, that faith without 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 our father Abraham justified by works when he offered his son Isaac 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.
Do yoʋ see how faith was active along with his works, and by works his faith was brought to completion?
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 that says, “Abraham believed God, and it was counted to him as righteousness,” and he was called a friend of God.
24 Uyenẹ, kiti katuwari unit nse usurtu, na kitenen yinnu sa uyenu chas ba.
You see then 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 the same way, was not Rahab the prostitute also justified by works when she received the messengers and sent them out by another way?
26 Nafo kidowa sa nfip libbiari, Nanere wang uyinnu sa uyeni sa katuwa libbiari.
For just as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is also dead.
