1My brethren, have not the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ of glory with respect of persons.
1Mwet kawuk luk, ke kut mwet lulalfongi in Leum lasr Jesus Christ, Leum lun wolana, kowos in tia srisri, ku sule mwet ke lumahlos.
2For if there shall come into your assembly a man having a golden ring, in fine apparel, and there shall come in also a poor man in mean attire,
2Fin pa mwet kasrup se el ring gold ac nukum nuknuk wowo utyak nu ke tukeni se lowos, ac mwet sukasrup se wi pac utyak ac el nukum nuknuk mihsasa.
3And you have respect to him that is clothed with the fine apparel, and shall say to him: Sit thou here well; but say to the poor man: Stand thou there, or sit under my footstool:
3Kom fin akfulatye mwet se ma nukum nuknuk wowo ac fahk nu sel, “Muta fin mwe muta wowo se inge,” a kom fahk nu sin mwet sukasrup sac, “Tu inse ingo, ku muta infohk uh sisken niuk,”
4Do you not judge within yourselves, and are become judges of unjust thoughts?
4ya kom tia sifacna oru in oasr mwatum ke kom srisri ac nununku mwet ke ouiya sufal?
5Hearken, my dearest brethren: hath not God chosen the poor in this world, rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which God hath promised to them that love him?
5Mwet kawuk saok luk, kowos in porongo! God El sulela mwet sukasrup fin faclu tuh elos in kasrup in lulalfongi, ac in ipeis ke tokosrai se su El wuleang kac nu sin mwet su lungse El.
6But you have dishonoured the poor man. Do not the rich oppress you by might? and do not they draw you before the judgment seats?
6A kowos pilesru mwet sukasrup! Ya tia mwet kasrup pa akkolukye kowos ac uskowosyak nu in nununku?
7Do not they blaspheme the good name that is invoked upon you?
7Elos pa mwet ma kaskas enum ke ine wolana se su itukot nu suwos ac kowos ekin.
8If then you fulfill the royal law, according to the scriptures, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself; you do well.
8Ma se ma wo ac suwohs kowos in oru uh pa akos ma sap lun Tokosrai, su simla in Ma Simusla: “Kom fah lungse mwet tulan lom oana ke kom lungse kom sifacna.”
9But if you have respect to persons, you commit sin, being reproved by the law as transgressors.
9A kowos fin srisri, kowos orekma koluk, ac Ma Sap uh ac nununkekowos oana mwet kunaus ma sap.
10And whosoever shall keep the whole law, but offend in one point, is become guilty of all.
10Kutena mwet su srike in karinganang ma sap nukewa a el kunausla sie, oasr mwatal kac nufon.
11For he that said, Thou shalt not commit adultery, said also, Thou shalt not kill. Now if thou do not commit adultery, but shalt kill, thou art become a transgressor of the law.
11Tuh El su fahk, “Nik kom kosro,” El oayapa fahk, “Nik kom akmas.” Kom finne tia kosro, kom srakna sie mwet kunausla ma sap, kom fin akmas.
12So speak ye, and so do, as being to be judged by the law of liberty.
12Kowos in kaskas ac orekma oana mwet su etu lah God El ac nununku mwet fal nu ke ma sap su ase sukosok.
13For judgment without mercy to him that hath not done mercy. And mercy exalteth itself above judgment.
13Tuh ke God El ac nununku mwet uh, ac fah wangin pakomuta lal nu sin mwet su tia pakoten; a mwet se su pakoten el ac fah kutangla nununku.
14What shall it profit, my brethren, if a man say he hath faith, but hath not works? Shall faith be able to save him?
14Mwet lulalfongi wiuk, mea sripa sie mwet el fin fahk mu oasr lulalfongi lal, a orekma lal tia akpwayei? Lulalfongi sac ku in molella?
15And if a brother or sister be naked, and want daily food:
15Fin oasr mwet lulalfongi wiasr, mukul ku mutan, su enenu nuknuk ac wangin ma nalos.
16And one of you say to them: Go in peace, be ye warmed and filled; yet give them not those things that are necessary for the body, what shall it profit?
16Mea sripa sie suwos fin fahk nu selos, “God Elan akinsewowoye kom! Kom in fusrfusr ac kihp!” — kom fin tia sang mwe enenu lun manolos?
17So faith also, if it have not works, is dead in itself.
17Oapana lulalfongi uh: el fin mukena ac wangin orekma wi, na lulalfongi sac misa.
18But some man will say: Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without works; and I will shew thee, by works, my faith.
18Sahp oasr sie mwet ac fahk mu, “Lulalfongi oan sum ac orekma oan sik.” Na nga ac topuk ac fahk, “Akkalemye lulalfongi lom sayen orekma. Ac nga ac akkalemye nu sum lulalfongi luk ke orekma luk.”
19Thou believest that there is one God. Thou dost well: the devils also believe and tremble.
19Ya kom lulalfongi lah oasr God sefanna? Wona! Demon uh elos lulalfongi pac, ac rarrar ke sangeng.
20But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?
20Kom sie mwet lalfon! Ya kom lungse in oasr mwe akpwayeye nu sum lah lulalfongi sayen orekma wanginna sripa?
21Was not Abraham our father justified by works, offering up Isaac his son upon the altar?
21Abraham, papa matu tumasr meet ah, el aksuwosyeyuk fuka ye mutun God? Ke sripen orekma lal, ke el kisakunul Isaac, wen natul, fin loang uh.
22Seest thou, that faith did co-operate with his works; and by works faith was made perfect?
22Kom tia akilen? Lulalfongi lal ac orekma lal tukenina orekma. Lulalfongi lal aksuwosyeyuk ke orekma lal.
23And the scripture was fulfilled, saying: Abraham believed God, and it was reputed to him to justice, and he was called the friend of God.
23Na akpwayeyuk Ma Simusla se inge: “Abraham el lulalfongi God, ac ke sripen lulalfongi lal, God El oakalla sie mwet suwoswos.” Ouinge pangpang el kawuk lun God.
24Do you see that by works a man is justified; and not by faith only?
24Inge, kowos liye lah sie mwet el aksuwosyeyuk yurin God ke orekma lal, ac tia ke lulalfongi lal mukena.
25And in like manner also Rahab the harlot, was not she justified by works, receiving the messengers, and sending them out another way?
25Oapana Rahab, mutan kosro sac — God El tuh oakal sie mwet suwoswos ke sripen orekma lal, ke el tuh kulang nu sin mwet kalngeyuk lun Israel ac kasrelos ke el supwalosla in kaing ke soko pacna inkanek.
26For even as the body without the spirit is dead; so also faith without works is dead.
26Na oana ke mano sayen ngun el misa, ouinge lulalfongi sayen orekma el misa.
