James 1
1 James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad, greeting.
Sodꞌa-moleꞌ mia au, Yakobis. Au ia, Lamatualain no hita malanggan Yesus Kristus, atahori dedenun. Au suraꞌ susura ia fee hei atahori Yahudi, mana tungga Lamatuaꞌ Yesus, mana leo-lao sia bee-bꞌee.
2 Count it all joy, my brethren, when ye fall into various temptations;
Toronoo nggare! Au ae ufadꞌe taꞌo ia: mete ma ama hambu sususaꞌ mataꞌ-mataꞌ, na, afiꞌ masaloe. Simbo no rala nemehoꞌot, te dei fo bꞌuna bꞌoan maloleꞌ.
3 knowing that the trying of your faith worketh endurance.
Te ata bubꞌuluꞌ tae, mete ma see naꞌatataaꞌ sia sususaꞌ, losa nasenggiꞌ sosobꞌa-dꞌodꞌouꞌ a, ma feꞌe mimihere mikindoo neu Lamatuaꞌ, naa tao nggi bꞌau matu-matu mete ma hambu sosobꞌaꞌ laen.
4 But let endurance have a perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting in nothing.
Dadꞌi ama afiꞌ mimitau sususaꞌ. Te ama minori miꞌitataaꞌ sia sususaꞌ losa ama dadꞌi matetuꞌ. No taꞌona, nemehere mara boe naꞌoka nahereꞌ sia Lamatuaꞌ, de nda toꞌa taa esa saa boe.
5 But if any one of you is wanting in wisdom, let him ask of God, who giveth to all liberally, and upbraideth not; and it will be given him.
Mete ma hei ruma mimedꞌa nda hambu dalaꞌ fo miꞌitataaꞌ mia sususaꞌ sa, hei mitane mbali Lamatuaꞌ mana nahine basaꞌ e. Eni mana natudꞌu dalaꞌ fee nggi. Eni mana fee nggi dudꞌuꞌa maloleꞌ no rala nemehoꞌot, ma nda namanasa nggi sa, mete ma hei moꞌe mbali E.
6 But let him ask in faith, nothing doubting; for he that doubteth is like a wave of the sea driven by the wind and tossed.
Mete ma moꞌe mia E, afi moꞌe no rala seseriꞌ. Hei musi mimihere tebꞌe-tebꞌeꞌ mae Ana bisa fee saa fo hei moꞌeꞌ a. Te atahori mana roꞌe no rala seseriꞌ, ana onaꞌ ree fo anin fuu e rae-ata nda natetu-nandaa sa.
7 For let not that man think that he shall receive anything from the Lord,
Atahori se ralan nabꞌabꞌanggi no mudaꞌ onaꞌ naa, ana nda matetuꞌ sia basa dalaꞌ ra sa. Afiꞌ mimihena mae ana hambu saa-saa mia Lamatuaꞌ e boe.
8 a double-minded man as he is, unstable in all his ways.
9 Let the brother of low degree glory in that he is exalted;
Atahori mana tudꞌa-loloeꞌ mana namahere neu Lamatuaꞌ Yesus, musi ramahoꞌo, huu Lamatualain soꞌu nala se dadꞌi bobꞌonggin ena.
10 but the rich, in that he is made low; because as the flower of the grass he will pass away.
Ma atahori mamasuꞌiꞌ mana ramahere neu Lamatuaꞌ Yesus ena, ara o musi tao ralan nara ramahoꞌo, huu Lamatuaꞌ nanori se afiꞌ koao. Ia naa rahine rae, dei fo suꞌi nara mana sambulaloꞌ, onaꞌ bunaꞌ sia lasi a nabꞌuna meulau, te nda doo sa ma relo a haa e, de ana male. Atahori mamasuꞌiꞌ ra o onaꞌ naa boe. Mae sira rasambute ro tatao-nonoꞌi nara, te sira o mana sambulaloꞌ boe.
11 For the sun rose with its burning heat, and withered the grass, and its flower fell off, and the beauty of its appearance perished; so also will the rich man fade away in his ways.
12 Blessed is the man that endureth temptation; for when he is approved, he will receive the crown of life, which He promised to them that love him.
Lamatuaꞌ fee papala-babꞌanggiꞌ neu atahori mana naꞌatataaꞌ mia sosobꞌaꞌ a losa nasenggiꞌ. Ma ana simbo nala hahambu masoi-masodꞌaꞌ fo Lamatuaꞌ helu basa fee neu atahori mana sue E. Ana simbo hahambun onaꞌ atahori mana nasenggiꞌ a hambu beker.
13 Let no one when he is tempted, say, I am tempted by God; for God cannot be tempted with evil, and he tempteth no one.
Misinedꞌa malolole! Mete ma hei ruma hambu sosobꞌaꞌ ma mae tao salaꞌ, afiꞌ rundu mae, “Lamatuaꞌ nae sobꞌa au” Te Lamatualain nda hii-nau tao salaꞌ sa. Ana o nda sobꞌa atahori fo atahori naa hii tao salaꞌ sa.
14 But each one is tempted when by his own lust he is led away and enticed;
Te salaꞌ nema mia atahori ralan. Fefeun, ralan nau tao deꞌulakaꞌ, de basa ma ana sangga dalaꞌ nae tao deꞌulakaꞌ.
15 then lust, having conceived, bringeth forth sin, and sin, when completed, bringeth forth death.
Boe ma ana tao, tungga dudꞌuꞌa deꞌulakan nakandondooꞌ a. Mateteꞌen, Lamatualain naꞌondaꞌ huku-dꞌoki mamates neu atahori mana tao deꞌulakaꞌ.
16 Do not err, my beloved brethren.
Toronoo susueꞌ re! Afiꞌ neneꞌediꞌ soꞌal dalaꞌ ia ra.
17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the lights, with whom is no change, nor shadow from turning.
Dꞌala deꞌulakaꞌ ra nda mia Lamatuaꞌ sa. Te ana mana fee basa papala-babꞌanggi maloleꞌ ma basa dꞌala meumareꞌ. Eni mana naꞌadꞌadꞌadꞌiꞌ relo, fulan, ma nduuꞌ ra. Basa se lali-laliꞌ sia lalai, naa de salao nara ubꞌa-ubꞌa rakandooꞌ a. Akaꞌ a Lamatualain nda mana ubꞌaꞌ sa.
18 Of his own will he begot us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of first-fruits of his creatures.
Lamatuaꞌ hihii-nanaun fee hita taꞌo ia: Ana fee dedꞌea-oꞌola matetun nema hita. Ma Ana pake dedꞌea-oꞌolan naa, fo fee hita masodꞌaꞌ. Ana pili nala hita dadꞌi mbule-uluꞌ mia basa saa, fo Ana naꞌadadꞌiꞌ sia raefafoꞌ ia.
19 Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath.
Toronoo susue nggare! Misinedꞌa, e! Malolen taꞌo ia: afiꞌ sadꞌiꞌ a olaꞌ a. Malole lenaꞌ, mete ma atahori olaꞌ maloleꞌ, na, nenene malolole dei! Ma afi haelai miminasa.
20 For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God.
Te mete ma miminasa, na, ama nda bisa tao dꞌala maloleꞌ tungga Lamatualain hihiin sa.
21 Wherefore put off all filthiness, and excess of wickedness, and receive with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls.
Dadꞌi ama musi nggari hendi basa sala-kilu mara. Onaꞌ atahori raue-rameu tine-osi nara, ma dedꞌe hendi manggarauꞌ ra. Hei o musi simbo Lamatuaꞌ hara-liin no rala neloe-nedꞌaeꞌ. Hara-liiꞌ naa ra onaꞌ fini neneselaꞌ sia rala mara. Mete ma ama tao taꞌo naa, dei fo Lamatuaꞌ mboꞌi hendi nggi mia basa sala-kilu mara, ma simbo nggi fo misodꞌa mikindoo mo E.
22 But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.
Mete ma ama mihine Lamatuaꞌ hara-liin, na, tao tungga e. Afiꞌ renaꞌ a! Mete ma hei renaꞌ a, te nda tao tungga sa, hei eꞌedik baliꞌ ao mara.
23 For if any one is a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like a man beholding his natural face in a glass;
Mete ma atahori rena basa hara-liiꞌ naa ra, te nda tao tungga sa, naa onaꞌ atahori sa mete matan sia tiro-ao a. Ana heoꞌ dean, ma liliꞌ hendi mata-aon neuꞌ ena.
24 for he beholds himself, and goes away, and immediately forgets what manner of man he was.
25 But he who looks into the perfect law of liberty, and remains there, being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man will be blessed in his deed.
Te Ama afiꞌ taꞌo naa. Ama musi paresaꞌ malole Lamatualain hara-lii matetun, mana bisa tao atahori nenemboꞌit mia sala-kilu nara. Dei fo Lamatuaꞌ fee papala-babꞌanggiꞌ sia basa saa fo hei taoꞌ ra, sadꞌi rena ma tao tungga hara-liiꞌ naa ra. Afiꞌ rena mendiꞌ ndiki diim ma kalua tungga ndiki onam!
26 If any one thinks that he is religious, and bridles not his tongue, but deceives his own heart, this man's religion is vain.
Mete ma atahori sa nae eni atahori maloleꞌ, te nda nanea nala bafan sa, eni eꞌedik baliꞌ aon! Eni nemeheren parsumaꞌ a.
27 Pure religion and undefiled before God, the Father, is this, to visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep one's self unspotted from the world.
Huu atahori mana namahere tebꞌe-tebꞌeꞌ neu Amaꞌ Lamatuaꞌ, ralan musi matetuꞌ losa nda hambu manggenggeoꞌ saa sa boe. Naa, tao Ama Lamatualain ralan namahoꞌo. Nemehere matetuꞌ onaꞌ naa, tao atahori hii tulufali ina falu ro ana mat ra. Atahori mana naꞌena nemehereꞌ mataꞌ naa, nda hela atahori raefafoꞌ ia kokoe-nanasi se no tatao deꞌulakaꞌ sa.
