1James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, To the twelve tribes of the Dispersion: Greetings.
1IET nai Iakopuj ladu en Kot o Kaun Ieiuj Krijtnj on kainok eijok riau, me pakajar pajaner; komail perenda!
2Consider it pure joy, my brothers, when you encounter trials of many kinds,
2Ri ai ko, komail perenki ma komail lel on kajonejon.
3because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance.
3O aja, ma omail pojon me pun, a pan kareda kanonama.
4Allow perseverance to finish its work, so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.
4A kanonama pan duedueta lao lel imwi, pwe komail en anla o unjok, o jolar anane meakot.
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.
5A ma amen re omail jota a lolekon, i en poeki ren Kot, me kin kotiki on amen amen ni jo kidaue, ari, a pan ale.
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.
6A i en poeki ni pojon, der peikajal, pwe me kin peikajal, me raj on iluk en madau, me an kin ipir wei pukepuk.
7That man should not expect to receive anything from the Lord.
7Pwe i aramaj ender lamelame, me a pan tunole meakot jan ren Kaun o.
8He is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.
8A ol amen me peikajal, kin koweikodo ni a dodok karoj.
9The brother in humble circumstances should exult in his high position.
9A ri atail amen, me jamama, en juaiki a kapwapwa.
10But the one who is rich should exult in his low position, because he will pass away like a flower of the field.
10A me kapwapwa en juaiki a jamama, pwe duen majal en ra a pan monedi.
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.
11Pwe katipin dakada, ap karakar, ap kamonedi ra kan o majal en ra pupedier, o mom a kajelel olar, iduen me kapwapwa o pan jora jan ni a wiawia kan.
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.
12Meid pai ol o, me wonweita ni jonapa, pwe murin a poedi, a pan ale nin in maur, me Kot kotin inauki on me pok on i.
13When tempted, no one should say, “God is tempting me.” For God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does He tempt anyone.
13Ma amen pan jonejon, a depa inda, me a jonejon ren Kot. Pwe Kot jota kak mi pan jonejon en mejued, o a pil jota kin kajonejon amen.
14But each one is tempted when by his own evil desires he is lured away and enticed.
14A amen amen kin jonejon ni a inon jued.
15Then after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death.
15A inon jued lao wiauier, ap naitikadar dip; a dip, ni a unjokelar, kin naitikada mela.
16Do not be deceived, my beloved brothers.
16Ri ai kompok kan, komail der ponepon kida.
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.
17Kijakij mau karoj o a japan kodido jan poa, jan ren Jam en marain akan, me akan, me jota man jon toror o jota man wukila.
18He chose to give us birth through the word of truth, that we would be a kind of firstfruits of His creation.
18A kotin kanaitik kida kitail majan melel, pwe kitail en wiala mejeni en japwilim a kan.
19My beloved brothers, understand this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to anger,
19Ri ai kompok kan, komail aja, aramaj karoj en madan ron, a pwand en lokaia, o pwand en makar.
20for man’s anger does not bring about the righteousness that God desires.
20Pwe makar en ol o jota kin kapwareda pun en Kot.
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.
21I me komail en kajela pwel karoj o me jued karoj, ap ale on komail majan o, me padedier lol omail nin tiak en karakarak, i me kak on kamaureda nen omail.
22Be doers of the word, and not hearers only. Otherwise, you are deceiving yourselves.
22A komail en kapwaiada majan o kaidin ron eta, a ma iduen, komail kin kotaue pein komail.
23For anyone who hears the word but does not carry it out is like a man who looks at his face in a mirror,
23Pwe ma meamen kin ron majan o, ap jota kapwaiada, nan a raj on ol amen, me kin kilekilan maj en pali war a nan klaj,
24and after observing himself goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like.
24Pwe murin a kilekilaner duen pein i, a koie la o pitipit monokela duen a janjal.
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.
25A me kin kilekilan melel nan kapun unjok o kajaledok, o kapwaiada, o ma a jota pan monokela, me a roner, a kapwaiada, nan i pan pai kida a wiawia kan.
26If anyone considers himself religious and yet does not bridle his tongue, he deceives his heart and his religion is worthless.
26Ma amen lamelame, me a kin papa Kot, ap jota kaineneda lol a, o ma a piti pein monion i, nan a dodok on Kot me mal kot.
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.
27A dodok min o pun mon Kot o Jam me wet: En apapwali jopoupou o li odi kan ni ar apwal akan, o pera ki pein i jan jappa.
