James 1
1 James of God and of [the] Lord Jesus Christ a servant To the twelve tribes in the Dispersion Greeting.
Na Hemi, na te pononga a te Atua, a te Ariki hoki, a Ihu Karaiti, ki nga hapu kotahi tekau ma rua e noho marara ana; Tena koutou.
2 All joy do esteem [it], brothers of mine, when trials you may fall into various,
Kiia iho, e oku teina, he mea hari nui ina taka koutou ki nga whakamatautauranga maha;
3 knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance;
E matau ana hoki koutou, ko te whakamatautauranga o to koutou whakapono hei mahi i te manawanui.
4 And endurance work [its] perfect should have, so that you may be perfect and complete in nothing lacking.
Na kia puta rawa te mahi a te manawanui, kia tino tika ai koutou, kia toitu ai, te hapa i tetahi mea.
5 If now any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask from the [One] giving God to all generously and (not *NK+o) finding fault, and it will be given to him.
Ki te hapa tetahi o koutou i te matauranga, me inoi ia ki te Atua, e homai nui nei ki te katoa, kahore hoki ana tawai mai; a ka homai ki a ia.
6 he should ask however in faith nothing doubting; The [one] for doubting he has been likened to a wave of [the] sea being blown by the wind and being tossed by the wind.
Otira me inoi whakapono ia, kaua e ruarua. Ko te tangata ruarua hoki, tona rite kei te ngaru o te moana, e puhia ana e te hau, e akina ana.
7 Not for should suppose the man that that he will receive anything from the Lord;
Kaua hoki taua tangata e mea, e whiwhi ia ki tetahi mea i te Ariki.
8 [He is] a man double-minded unstable in all the ways of him.
E kore te tangata ngakau rua e u i ana hanga katoa.
9 should boast however the brother of low degree in the exaltation of him,
Ko te teina iti, kia whakamanamana ia i te mea ka whakanekehia ake ia:
10 he who [is] then rich in the humiliation of him because like a flower of grass he will pass away.
Me te tangata taonga ano, i te mea ka whakaititia: ka memeha atu hoki ia, ano he puawai tarutaru.
11 Has risen for the sun with [its] burning heat and withered the grass and the flower of it has fallen and the beauty of the appearance of it has perished; Thus also the rich [man] in the midst of the pursuits of him will fade away.
Ko te putanga mai hoki o te ra me te hau wera ano, na, kua maroke te tarutaru, kua ngahoro tona puawai, a ngaro iho te atanga o tona ahua: ka pera ano te tangata taonga, ka memeha atu i ona haereerenga.
12 Blessed [is the] man who endures trial, because approved having been he will receive the crown of life that He has promised (the Lord *K) to those loving Him.
Ka hari te tangata e u ake ana ki te whakamatautauranga: no te mea hoki ka oti ia te whakamatautau, ka whiwhi ia ki te karauna o te ora, kua whakaaria mai nei e te Ariki mo te hunga e aroha ana ki a ia.
13 No one being tempted should say that By God I am being tempted; For God unable to be tempted is by evils, tempts now He Himself no [one];
Kaua tetahi e mea ina whakamatautauria, E whakamatautauria ana ahau e te Atua: e kore hoki te Atua e taea te whakamatautau e te kino, e kore ano hoki ia e whakamatautau i tetahi:
14 A man however is tempted by the own desire being drawn away and being enticed;
Engari he mea whakamatautau te tangata, i a ia e kumea ana, e poaina ana e tona hiahia ake ano.
15 Then desire having conceived it gives birth to sin, and sin having become fully grown it brings forth death.
Na, i te haputanga o te hiahia, ka whanau ko te hara; a, i te otinga o te hara, ka whanau ko te mate.
16 Not do be misled, brothers of mine beloved;
Kei whakapohehetia koutou, e oku teina aroha.
17 Every act of giving good and every gift perfect from above is coming down from the Father of lights with whom not there is variation or of shifting shadow.
No runga nga homaitanga papai katoa, nga mea katoa e tino tika ana, he mea heke iho no te Matua o nga whakamarama, kahore nei ona putanga ketanga, kahore hoki he atarangi o te tahuri.
18 Having willed [it] He brought forth us by [the] word of truth, for to be us firstfruits a certain of His creatures.
Na tona hiahia ake ano tatou i whanau ai, he meatanga na te kupu o te pono, kia meinga ai tatou me he matamua mo ana mea i hanga ai.
19 (You should know *N+KO) brothers of mine beloved; should be (however *no) every man swift unto to hear, slow unto to speak, slow unto anger.
Kei te mohio koutou ki tenei, e oku hoa aroha, kia hohoro nga tangata katoa ki te whakarongo, kia puhoi ki te korero, kia puhoi kite riri:
20 [the] anger for of man [the] righteousness of God not (works. *N+kO)
E kore hoki ta te Atua tika e mahia e to te tangata riri.
21 Therefore having put aside all filthiness and excess of wickedness in humility do receive the implanted word which is being able to save the souls of you.
Heoi me whakarere katoa atu nga tikanga poke, me te hara e hua tonu nei, me tahuri marire ki te kupu kua oti te whakato iho; e taea hoki e tenei te whakaora o koutou wairua.
22 do be however doers of [the] word and not only hearers deceiving yourselves.
Hei kaimahi ano koutou i te kupu, kaua hei kaiwhakarongo anake, kei tinihangatia koutou e koutou ano.
23 because if anyone a hearer of [the] word is and not a doer, this one has been likened to a man looking at the face the natural of him in a mirror;
Ki te mea hoki he kaiwhakarongo tetahi i te kupu, ehara nei i te kaimahi, he rite ia ki te tangata e matakitaki ana ki tona kanohi maori i roto i te whakaata:
24 he has viewed for himself and has gone away and immediately he has forgotten what like he was.
I tona matakitakinga hoki i a ia ano, haere ana, wareware tonu ake he ahua pehea ranei tona.
25 The [one] however having looked intently into [the] law perfect that of freedom and having continued in [it], (this *k) not a hearer forgetful having been but a doer of [the] work — this one blessed in the work to be done by him will be.
Tena ko te tangata e ata titiro iho ana ki te ture tino tika, ki te mea herekore, a ka u tonu, he kaiwhakarongo ano ia e kore e wareware, engari e mahi ana i te mahi, e hari ano tenei i tana mahi.
26 If anyone seems religious to be (among you *K) not bridling [the] tongue (of him *NK+o) but deceiving [the] heart (of him, *NK+o) of this one worthless [is] the religion.
Ki te mea he ahua karakia to tetahi i roto i a koutou, ki te kore e parairetia e ia tona arero, he tinihanga hoki tana ki tona ngakau, he maumau karakia tana.
27 Religion pure and undefiled before the God and Father this is, to visit orphans and widows in the tribulation of them, unstained oneself to keep from the world.
Ko te karakia pono, ko te mea pokekore ki te aroaro o te Atua matua, ko ia tenei, Ko te tirotiro i nga pani i nga pouaru i o ratou mate, ko te tiaki i a ia ake kei poke i te ao.
