James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are in the Dispersion: Greetings.
2 Ngoogv ajin vdw, vdwlo nonugv lamtv lo nvgwng mvnwng gv hindwkkaku ngv aajvka um alv yanvbv mvngpu gvya tvlaka,
Count it all joy, my brothers, when you fall into various temptations,
3 Vkvlvgavbolo nonu chindu vdwlo nonugv mvngjwng namv jwngjwk dubv ritvrinyi vkvnv hindwkkaku namv doodu, kaakakunamv vv nonugv rilagvnv am paamu dunv.
knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance.
4 Hinchingla rinamv nonugv lamtv mvnwng lo gimup momabv vnggvla ridubv mvrung dunv, vkvlvgavbolo hoka nonu rvbwngching laduku okv ripwngrinya laduku, oguguka achialin manamgo kaama laduku.
Let endurance have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.
5 Vbvritola nonu gvlo mvngkimvnglak madu bolo, Pwknvyarnvnyi kumrung tvlaka, hv nonua jire; ogulvgavbolo Pwknvyarnv jinwngnam dvdv nga okv mvnwng nga jinv ngv.
But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him.
6 Vbvritola vdwlo nonu kumredw, nonu mvngjwng rungto laka okv ogumvnwng nga mvngngum dvdvla riyoka. Yvvdw mvngngum la ridudw hv svmasa lvralvpa lo doori mila oogv sibu nuunam aingbv ridunv.
But let him ask in faith, without any doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, driven by the wind and tossed.
7 Nonu oogv aingbv ridubolo, nonugv mvngrum aralo mvngla manv okv rinam dvdvlo mvngpi lakmanv, Ahtu gvlokv nonu oguguka paanvpv mvngla rungmare.
For that man shouldn’t think that he will receive anything from the Lord.
He is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.
9 Heema bv rinv kristan vdwv vdwlo Pwknvyarnv heema lokv nyitv dukubv bunua laacha rekudw um mvngpu rungto laka,
Let the brother in humble circumstances glory in his high position;
10 okv nyitv bv rinv kristan vdwv vdwlo Pwknvyarnv heema dubv bunua laalu rikudw vvka mvngpu rungto laka. Vkvlvgavbolo nyitv vdwv mootum apung gv siriuriua nam aingbv riri nvpv.
and the rich, in that he is made humble, because like the flower in the grass, he will pass away.
11 Doonyi gv chaatarchanya ikunyi agurusok lakula okv nvsinnvmwng nga sinsuk mola kaayuk duku; ho apung ngv hoolahuaa duku, okv vkvgv kaapu vka nyeduku. Oogv aingbv bunu korvpachu rikwng jvka nyitv ngv nyenam bv nyereku.
For the sun arises with the scorching wind and withers the grass; and the flower in it falls, and the beauty of its appearance perishes. So the rich man will also fade away in his pursuits.
12 Hindwkkaku nga hinjeka yvvdw mvngjwng nga vngdwng bv vvpvla ridunv hv himpu am paare, vkvlvgavbolo vdwlo bunu vkvnv rikwhingkw namv vngbo rikudw, Pwknvyarnv gv paknam vdwa jidubv vla milvpvvnam oogv turnam amin am bunugv paasvnga bunu paareku.
Blessed is a person who endures temptation, for when he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord promised to those who love him.
13 Ngonu svkvnv pokayarka namgo aajvka, “si Pwknvyarnv gvlo aadunv vla mirung mabvka.” Vkvlvgavbolo Pwknvyarnv alvmanv lokv pokayarka madunv, okv nw awv yvvnyika pokayarka madunv.
Let no man say when he is tempted, “I am tempted by God,” for God can’t be tempted by evil, and he himself tempts no one.
14 Vbvritola ngonua pokayarka la ridunam si vdwlo ngonu mvngjimvngrio la okv atubogv alvmanv mvngnam lokv kuplwksudu.
But each one is tempted when he is drawn away by his own lust and enticed.
15 Vbvrinamv ngonugv alvmanv mvngjimvngro nama gvvbum pvvku lokv okv rimur am kuu bv bvnglin duku; okv rimure, vdwlo akomaring rikudw, vv sinam bv bvngdu kunv.
Then the lust, when it has conceived, bears sin. The sin, when it is full grown, produces death.
16 Ngoogv ajin vdwv, Kupku yoka!
Don’t be deceived, my beloved brothers.
17 Alvnv amin dvdv ngv okv ogumvnwng vjvgv rilak rikunamv nyidomooku lokv aadunv; vv Pwknvyarnv gv lokv aadunv, nyidomooku gv ungbiatata gvnv nga Pwklinyarlinnv ngv, oogv vdwloka akupav manv vmajvka kanv kaamanv.
Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom can be no variation nor turning shadow.
18 Vkvlvgavbolo ninyigv pwknamyarnam dvdvlo ngonuv atuake lo doocho modukubv vla, ninyigv awgv mvngnam lokv ngv vkvgv jvjvrungnv gaam lokv ngonua laalwk toku.
Of his own will he gave birth to us by the word of truth, that we should be a kind of first fruits of his creatures.
19 Ngoogv ayanam ajin vdwv, sum mvnggap tvlaka! nyi mvnwng ngv nonu baapu alvbv tvvgap rungto laka, vbvritola gaam minam am tapv bv minto laka okv dokchachaba nvgobv riyoka.
So, then, my beloved brothers, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, and slow to anger;
20 Nyia haachi gv sakcha namv Pwknvyarnv gv darwkchongjor mvngdung nga paama dunv.
for the anger of man doesn’t produce the righteousness of God.
21 Vkvlvgabv ogumvnwng gv kasingkanyak okv alvmanv rigvdogvnam dvdv nga um kayu tvkuka. Oogv nonua ringlin lajikunv, Pwknvyarnv gvlo laklwk sutoka okv nonugv haapok lo vkvgv gamchar jilwk nama laarwk suto laka.
Therefore, putting away all filthiness and overflowing of wickedness, receive with humility the implanted word, which is able to save your souls.
22 Nonuno ninyigv gamchar am tvvnv mvngchik gobv ridula atu nvnga kupsu yoka; vbvmayabv gamchar yanga tvvla rinvdagnv gobv rito laka.
But be doers of the word, and not only hearers, deluding your own selves.
23 Nonu gamchar am tvvnvgobv ridula, vbvritola rinvdaknv gobv rima dubolo nonuno vkvnv nyi aingbv ridu oogv tumuyalu lo awv nyukmu am bunu atubogv oguaingbv ripvdw kaasu mvngchik sunam aingbv ridu.
For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man looking at his natural face in a mirror;
24 Bunu atubogv aw am lvkingo alvjvbv kaasu pikula okv vngreku okv vjakpiak bv bunugv aw kaasu nama oguaingbv ripvdw um mvngpa sukumare.
for he sees himself, and goes away, and immediately forgets what kind of man he was.
25 Vbvritola oogv nyi am ajarabi bv rimu kujinv Pvbv rvbwngchingnv um alvjvbv kaanvk chikvk la, okv alvjvbv tvvgap la okv tvvnam mvngchik bv tvvmabv okv vbv mvngpa mabv rimabv okv vbvritola rinvdaknv gobv ribolo—nonuno ogugo ridudw Pwknvyarnv nonua boktalwkjire.
But he who looks into the perfect law of freedom and continues, not being a hearer who forgets but a doer of the work, this man will be blessed in what he does.
26 Nonu yvvla mvngdunv nonuno dormo ridunv? Nonugv riu am laatung sima dubolo, nonugv dormo rinamv anyung kaama nvbv ridu okv nonuno atubonga kupsu dunv.
If anyone amongst you thinks himself to be religious while he doesn’t bridle his tongue, but deceives his heart, this man’s religion is worthless.
27 Pwknvyarnv Abu gv mvnglwk bv darwkla okv dormo rijwknam si: opin okv hvngmi vdwa bunugv hindarkaso am kaagurnam okv nyiamooku sokvgv alvmanam am atubongv kaachingkaamu sinam um rijwk nvbv tulwkdu.
Pure religion and undefiled before our God and Father is this: to visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained by the world.
