1James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, To the twelve tribes of the Dispersion: Greetings.
1NA lakobo, he kauwa na ke Akua, a me ka Haku o Iesu Kristo, i ka poe ohana he umi a me kumamalua i hoopuehuia, Aloha oukou.
2Consider it pure joy, my brothers, when you encounter trials of many kinds,
2E na hoahanau o'u, e manao oukou, he mea olioli wale no, ke loohia oukou e kela mea keia mea e hoao mai ai;
3because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance.
3Ua ike no hoi oukou, o ka hoao ana mai i ko oukou manaoio, oia ka mea e mahuahua'i ke ahonui.
4Allow perseverance to finish its work, so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.
4E hoomau oukou ma ka mea ku pono i ke ahonui, i lako oukou, a i hemolele hoi, aole wahi hemahema iki.
5Now if any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him.
5Ina i nele kekahi o oukou i ke akamai, e noi aku oia i ke Akua i ka mea i haawi lokomaikai mai no na mea a pau me ka hoino ole mai, a e haawiia mai no ia nona.
6But he must ask in faith, without doubting, because he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind.
6Aka, e noi aku oia me ka manaoio, aole me ke kanalua; no ka mea, o ka mea e kanalua ana, ua like no ia me ka ale o ke kai i puhiia e ka makani a kupikipikio.
7That man should not expect to receive anything from the Lord.
7Mai manao ia kanaka, e loaa mai ia ia kekahi mea na ka Haku mai.
8He is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.
8O ke kanaka i lolelua ka naau, ua lauwili oia i kona mau aoao a pau.
9The brother in humble circumstances should exult in his high position.
9O ka hoahanau haahaa, e hauoli ia i kona hookiekieia.
10But the one who is rich should exult in his low position, because he will pass away like a flower of the field.
10A o ka mea waiwai hoi, i kona hoohaahaaia; no ka mea, e like me ka pua o ka nahelehele e mae wale ana ia.
11For the sun rises with scorching heat and withers the plant; its flower falls and its beauty is lost. So too, the rich man will fade away in the midst of his pursuits.
11No ka mea, i ke kau ana mai o ka la me ka wela nui, aole emo a hoomaloo iho la no ia i ka nahelehele, a haule iho la kona pua, a pau ae la ka nani o kona ano: pela no e mae ai ka mea waiwai i kona aoao iho.
12Blessed is the man who perseveres under trial, because when he has stood the test, he will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love Him.
12Pomaikai wale ke kanaka, ke ku paa ia i ka hoowalewaleia mai; no ka mea, a pau kona hoaoia mai, e loaa auanei ia ia ka lei o ke ola i oleloia mai ai e ka Haku no ka poe e aloha aku ana ia ia.
13When tempted, no one should say, “God is tempting me.” For God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does He tempt anyone.
13A o ka mea i hoowalewaleia mai, mai olelo ae ia, ua hoowalewaleia mai au e ke Akua; no ka mea, aole i hoowalewaleia ke Akua e ka hewa, aole loa hoi oia i hoowalewale mai i kekahi.
14But each one is tempted when by his own evil desires he is lured away and enticed.
14Aka, ua hoowalewaleia kela mea keia mea ma kona kuko iho no, i ke alakaiia'ku a puni ia.
15Then after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death.
15Aia hapai ke kuko, alaila, hanau mai ka hewa; a oo ka hewa, alaila, hoopukaia mai ka make.
16Do not be deceived, my beloved brothers.
16Mai kuhihewa, e o'u poe hoahanau aloha:
17Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, with whom there is no change or shifting shadow.
17O na haawina maikai a pau a me na makana hemolele a pau, noluna mai ia i iho mai ai no ka Makua mai o ka malamalama, aole ona ano hou, aole loa ia e luli iki.
18He chose to give us birth through the word of truth, that we would be a kind of firstfruits of His creation.
18No kona makemake iho i hoohanau mai ai oia ia kakou ma ka olelo oiaio, i lilo ae kakou i mau hua mua o ka poe ana i hana'i.
19My beloved brothers, understand this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to anger,
19No ia mea, e o'u poe hoahanau aloha, e hiki wawe oukou ma ka lohe, e akahele hoi ma ka olelo ana aku, a e hoolohi hoi ma ka inaina aku:
20for man’s anger does not bring about the righteousness that God desires.
20No ka mea, o ka inaina o ke kanaka, aole ia e hana ana i ka pono o ke Akua.
21Therefore, get rid of all moral filth and every expression of evil, and humbly accept the word planted in you, which can save your souls.
21No ia mea la, e pale aku oukou i ka haumia a pau, a me ka hu wale ana o ka ino, a e apo mai oukou me ke akahai i ka olelo i pakuiia, oia ka mea e hiki ai ke hoola i ko oukou poe uhane.
22Be doers of the word, and not hearers only. Otherwise, you are deceiving yourselves.
22E lilo hoi oukou i poe malama i ka olelo, aole i poe lohe wale no, e hoopunipuni ana ia oukou iho:
23For anyone who hears the word but does not carry it out is like a man who looks at his face in a mirror,
23No ka mea, ina i lohe wale kekahi i ka olelo, aole oia i malama aku, ua like no ia me ke kanaka e nana ana i kona helehelena iho ma ke aniani;
24and after observing himself goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like.
24Nana no oia ia ia iho, a i ka hoi ana'ku, poina koke iho no ia i kona ano iho.
25But the one who looks intently into the perfect law of freedom, and continues to do so—not being a forgetful hearer, but an effective doer—he will be blessed in what he does.
25O ka mea e nana ae i ke kanawai hemolele o ke ola, a e ku paa malaila, aole e hoopoina wale i kana mea i lohe ai, aka, ua malama no ia i ka oihana; oia ka mea e pomaikai aua i kana hana ana.
26If anyone considers himself religious and yet does not bridle his tongue, he deceives his heart and his religion is worthless.
26Ina i manaoia kekahi he haipule ia, aole hoi oia e kaulawaha i kona alelo, aka, e hoopunipuni i kona naau iho, ua lapuwale kona haipule ana.
27Pure and undefiled religion before our God and Father is this: to care for orphans and widows in their distress, and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.
27O ka haipule io a me ka haumia ole imua i ke alo o ke Akua o ka Makua, eia no ia; e ike i ka poe makua ole, a me ka poe wahinekanemake i ko lakou wa e pihkia ai, a e malama hoi ia ia iho i haumia ole ia i ko ke ao nei.
