Berean Standard Bible
1Jakobus, Godaia ja Kaparaia Jesuni Christuni mili, mardu marapratjana ja mandruni piltjarani, mankini ngopera!
1James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, To the twelve tribes of the Dispersion: Greetings.
2Mankini pirna jenia ngundranau, ngakani ngatata wo rajai, jura wontjanani pilki ja pilkini purinani,
2Consider it pure joy, my brothers, when you encounter trials of many kinds,
3Ngangau jura ngujamananto, jurani morlalu ngundranaia wontjani manju ngankai.
3because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance.
4Manju ngankana manamirini wokarananto, ngangau jura manamiri ja talku ngamananto, ja wata poto kulnuni ngadaia nganananto.
4Allow perseverance to finish its work, so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.
5Kulno jurangundru ngadaia ngananani kirini, nau Godani ngatjinanto, Nulia pratjanani talku jinkiai, ja wata kulnuni tjakakai, ja Nulia jenia nunkangu jinkila nganai.
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.
6Nulu morlalu ngundranali ngatjiatimai mangangankani panieli; ngangau mangangankanietja panto pirnaia mandikila jeribaka nganai, nina watarali patijiritjibai ja njudakai.
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.
7Jendralipara kanali wata ngundraiatimai, nulu minakulno Kaparandru manila nganai.
7That man should not expect to receive anything from the Lord.
8Kana ngarapudlamandru maraltja nganai nunkani palto pratjanani.
8He is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.
9Ngatata waka jurakokateriatimai nunkani pirnali,
9The brother in humble circumstances should exult in his high position.
10Kana poto pirnanto nunkani wakali, ngangau nau kantaia tiwi jeribaka mudala nganai.
10But the one who is rich should exult in his low position, because he will pass away like a flower of the field.
11Ngangau ditji dunkana warai ja bakana kalinguru, ja nulu kanta muja ngankana warai, ja nunkani tiwi purina warai, ja nunkani talka mudana warai; jeruja bakana kana poto pirnanto nunkani paltuni mujarila nganai.
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.
12Murlali pirna naupini kana nganai, nau wontjanani manju nganai; ngangau nau matja wonki ngananani, nulu tepia pirapira manila nganai, ninaia Kaparali talpadakana wonti tanangu, tanali ninaia ngantjai.
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.
13Wata kulno jatajatanau, nau wontjanani nganai: Godali ngana wontjai. Ngangau Goda ngandandariai wontjanani wokarala madlentjaia, ja Nulia muntali wata kulno wontjai.
13When tempted, no one should say, “God is tempting me.” For God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does He tempt anyone.
14Kulno wontjanani wokarai, nina nunkani jertapaterina dunkalkanani ja karkarkanani.
14But each one is tempted when by his own evil desires he is lured away and enticed.
15Ngadani, jertapaterina matja kantjirina, nulia madlentji dankai; ja madlentjali kantji mudanani, nulia nari dankai. (Dakani jaura Cantate ditjini.)
15Then after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death.
16Wata tjautjau ngundranau, ngakani ngatata ngantjalu worajai.
16Do not be deceived, my beloved brothers.
17Jinkini poto ngumu pratjana, ja manamiri bakujeli jinkini poto pratjana mirindru wokarai, praitji worani Ngaperandru, nunkangu wata karitjini parai, ja wata pungala, nau karitjinandru wokarai.
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.
18Jertapaterinali nunkanali muntali Nulia ngaianana kantji patana wonti jaura morlalulali, ngangau ngaiana nunkani pantjimani potuja ngoperala nganananto.
18He chose to give us birth through the word of truth, that we would be a kind of firstfruits of His creation.
19Ngujamanau, ngakani ngatata worajai: Kana pratjana nurujeli nganananto ngaranaia, mankali kaukaubanaia, mankali tiria;
19My beloved brothers, understand this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to anger,
20Ngangau kana kulnuja tiri wata Godaia talkula ngankingai.
20for man’s anger does not bring about the righteousness that God desires.
21Jendrangundruja murumuru pratjana ja tjilpi pratjana, tana tjikatjikandru punkai, woraranau, ja malti patanau ninapini jaura, ninaia Nulia jurangu kurana wonti, nauja ngurunguru nganai jurani mungara kulkala. (Dakani jaura Rogate ditjini.)
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.
22Jauraia ngankanietja pantjianau, ja wata windri ngaranietja, jura munta jedibateriati.
22Be doers of the word, and not hearers only. Otherwise, you are deceiving yourselves.
23Ngangau kana kulno windri jauraia ngaranietja ngananani, ja wata ngankanietja, naupini kana kulnuni jeribaka nganai, nulu palku mudla nunkani milkitjerini najiteriai.
23For anyone who hears the word but does not carry it out is like a man who looks at his face in a mirror,
24Ja nau matja najiterina, nau wapai, ja nurujeli nau kuritarai, worderu nau mudla.
24and after observing himself goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like.
25Ja warle kurakani jirijiribani jaura manamirilani matja najina, ja nunkangu wonki nganai, ja warle wata windri kuritarani ngaranietja nganai, a‐ai, ngankanietja morlalu, naupini murlali pirna nganala nganai nunkani ngankanani.
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.
26Kulno ngundraterinani ngumu nganala, ja tali nunkani wata patai, a‐ai, ngara nunkani karkarkateriai, nunkani ngumula baku nganai.
26If anyone considers himself religious and yet does not bridle his tongue, he deceives his heart and his religion is worthless.
27Ngumula kulikiri ja murumuru pani Godani Ngaperani jenipara nganai: Ngamuru ja mangawaru tanani jeninani najila, ja munta mitalandru murumuru pani ngamalkaterila.
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.
