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 brethren, have not the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory, with respect of persons.
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 there come into your assembly a man with a gold ring, in fine apparel, and there come in also a poor man in vile raiment;
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 respect to him that weareth the fine clothing, and say to him, Sit thou here in a good place; and say to the poor, Stand thou there, or sit here under my footstool:
4 na anughe din su ushara nan nya nati mine, iso anan shara nin kpilizu unanzan ba?
Are ye not then partial in yourselves, and are become judges of 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?
Hearken, my beloved brethren, Hath not God chosen the poor of this world rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he hath promised to them that 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 despised the poor. Do not rich men oppress you, and draw you before the judgment seats?
7 Na anan nimon nacarere din nanzu lisa ligegeme longo na iwa yicila minu mun ba?
Do they not blaspheme that worthy name by the which ye 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 ye fulfil the royal law according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbour 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 have respect to persons, ye 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 shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is 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 that said, Do not commit adultery, said also, Do not kill. Now if thou committest no adultery, yet if thou killest, thou art 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 ye, and so do, as they that shall 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 he shall have judgment without mercy, that hath shown no mercy; and mercy rejoiceth against 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 doth it profit, my brethren, though a man saith he hath faith, and hath not works? can faith save him?
15 Asa gwana kilime sa kishono din pizuru nimon shonu kidowo nin nimonli liyirin,
If a brother or sister is naked, and 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 one of you saith to them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; but ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what doth it profit?
17 Nanere wang unin uyinnu sa uyenu andi na katwa kacine duku ba, libiari.
Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.
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, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: show me thy faith without thy works, and I will show thee my faith by my works.
19 Uyinna Kutellẹ kurumari nanere. Agbergenu wang in yinna nani ketuzu.
Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the demons also believe, and tremble.
20 Udi nin su uyinin wangha unit ulala, nworu uyinnu sa uyenu sa katuwa uso hem.
But wilt thou know, O vain 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 Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered 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.
Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect?
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 saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed to him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God.
24 Uyenẹ, kiti katuwari unit nse usurtu, na kitenen yinnu sa uyenu chas ba.
Ye see then that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.
25 Nanere wang Rahap ukilaki wase usurtu bara katwa kacine, kubẹ na awa seru anan kadura, a duro nani long libau ugang?
Likewise also was not Rahab the harlot justified by works, when she had received the messengers, and had sent them out another way?
26 Nafo kidowa sa nfip libbiari, Nanere wang uyinnu sa uyeni sa katuwa libbiari.
For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.
