1Ma sel James, sie mwet kulansap lun God ac lun Leum Jesus Christ: Paing mwet lun God nukewa su fahsrelik fin faclu nufon.
1James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, To the twelve tribes of the Dispersion: Greetings.
2Mwet lulalfongi wiuk, ke kain in mwe srike puspis sun kowos, kowos in oakla mu ma inge mwe insewowo nu suwos,
2Consider it pure joy, my brothers, when you encounter trials of many kinds,
3tuh kowos etu lah ke pacl se lulalfongi lowos kutangla fin mwe srike inge, saflaiya muteng lowos uh yokelik.
3because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance.
4Kowos in sruokyana muteng lowos nwe ke safla, in tia munasla, tuh kowos in suwohs ac fal in ouiya nukewa, ac wangin ma kowos sufalla kac.
4Allow perseverance to finish its work, so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.
5Tusruktu kutena suwos fin enenu in akyokye lalmwetmet lal, enenu elan pre nu sin God, su ac fah sang nu sel; mweyen God El tia srowohsr a El insewowo in sang yohk nu sin mwet nukewa.
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.
6Ac ke pacl kowos pre, kowos enenu in lulalfongi ac in tia alolo. Elos su alolo elos oana noa in meoa su tuhyak ac eng uh pahlela.
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.
7Mwet ouinge in tia nunku mu elos ac eis kutena ma sin Leum.
7That man should not expect to receive anything from the Lord.
8Elos tafu luo in nunak lalos, ac seokak in ma nukewa.
8He is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.
9Sie mwet Christian su sukasrup enenu in engan lah God El akfulatyalak,
9The brother in humble circumstances should exult in his high position.
10ac mwet Christian se su kasrup el enenu pac in engan lah God El ac akpusiselyal. Tuh mwe kasrup lal uh ac fah wanginla oana sie ros inima uh.
10But the one who is rich should exult in his low position, because he will pass away like a flower of the field.
11Fulen faht uh ke ac takak ac fulokla mah inima uh, na ros kac uh ac putatla ac wanginla katoiya. In lumah sacna, mwet kasrup se ac fah mwella ke el forfor ac oru orekma lal.
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.
12Insewowo mwet se su oaru na ke pacl srikeyuk el, tuh ke pacl se el kutangla ma upa inge, God El ac fah sang nu sel tefuro lun moul, tuh pa inge ma God El wuleang nu selos su lungse El.
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.
13Mwet se fin srifeyuk, elan tia fahk, “Mwe sruhf se inge ma sin God me,” tuh God El tia srifeyuk ke ma koluk, ac El tia pac srife mwet uh.
13When tempted, no one should say, “God is tempting me.” For God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does He tempt anyone.
14A mwet se el srifeyuk ke sripen lungse lal sifacna, su amakunulla nu ke ma koluk ac el sruhfla.
14But each one is tempted when by his own evil desires he is lured away and enticed.
15Ac ke kena koluk lal kui in el, ac oswela ma koluk lulap; ac ke ma koluk inge yokelikna, ac kololla nu ke misa.
15Then after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death.
16Mwet kawuk saok luk, kowos in tia kiapweyukla!
16Do not be deceived, my beloved brothers.
17Mwe kite wo ac fal nukewa, tuku lucng me; ma inge tuku sin God me su orala kalem nukewa inkusrao, ac su tiana ekyek pwanang lohsr uh tiana sikyak.
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.
18Ke lungse lal sifacna El oswekutla ac ase moul nu sesr ke kas pwaye lal, tuh kut fah oana fahko se meet inmasrlon ma orekla lal nukewa.
18He chose to give us birth through the word of truth, that we would be a kind of firstfruits of His creation.
19Mwet kawuk saok luk, esam ma se inge! Mwet nukewa enenu in sa lohng, a tia sa in kaskas, ac tia pac sa in kasrkusrakak.
19My beloved brothers, understand this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to anger,
20Mweyen ke mwet uh kasrkusrak, elos tia ku in orala sripa suwoswos lun God.
20for man’s anger does not bring about the righteousness that God desires.
21Ke ma inge, sisla elah fohkfok nukewa ac orekma koluk nukewa. Ac kowos in akpusiselye kowos nu sin God, ac eis kas ma El oakiya insiowos, su ac ku in molikowosla.
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.
22Kowos in oru oana ma kas lun God uh fahk, ac tia lohng mukena; tuh kowos fin lohng ac tia oru, kowos sifacna kiapwekowos.
22Be doers of the word, and not hearers only. Otherwise, you are deceiving yourselves.
23Kutena mwet su lohng na kas ac tia moulkin, el oana mwet se ma ngetang ac liye lumahl in selngun uh.
23For anyone who hears the word but does not carry it out is like a man who looks at his face in a mirror,
24Tukun el liye tari, el ac som ac sa na mulkunla lah fuka lumahl.
24and after observing himself goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like.
25Kutena mwet su arulana lohang nu ke ma sap wowo su aksukosokye mwet uh, ac el kwafeang in nunku na kac, ac el tia lohng mukena ac mulkunla, a el orekmakin — mwet ouinge uh God El ac fah akinsewowoye in ma el oru.
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.
26Ya oasr mwet nunku mu el akfalye oakwuk lun alu uh? El fin tia karingin lohul, ac wangin sripen alu lal ac el sifacna kiapwella.
26If anyone considers himself religious and yet does not bridle his tongue, he deceives his heart and his religion is worthless.
27Alu pwaye ac nasnas ye mutun God Papa pa inge: in karinganang tulik mukaimtal ac katinmas su muta in ongoiya, ac sifacna liyaung tuh ma koluk lun faclu in tia akfohkfokye kom.
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.
