1Mwet kawuk luk, ke kut mwet lulalfongi in Leum lasr Jesus Christ, Leum lun wolana, kowos in tia srisri, ku sule mwet ke lumahlos.
1My brothers, as you hold out your faith in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ, do not show favoritism.
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.
2Suppose a man comes into your meeting wearing a gold ring and fine clothes, and a poor man in shabby clothes also comes in.
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,”
3If you lavish attention on the man in fine clothes and say, “Here is a seat of honor,” but say to the poor man, “You must stand” or “Sit at my feet,”
4ya kom tia sifacna oru in oasr mwatum ke kom srisri ac nununku mwet ke ouiya sufal?
4have you not discriminated among yourselves and become judges with evil thoughts?
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.
5Listen, my beloved brothers: Has not God chosen the poor of this world to be rich in faith and to inherit the kingdom He promised those who love Him?
6A kowos pilesru mwet sukasrup! Ya tia mwet kasrup pa akkolukye kowos ac uskowosyak nu in nununku?
6But you have dishonored the poor. Is it not the rich who oppress you and drag you into court?
7Elos pa mwet ma kaskas enum ke ine wolana se su itukot nu suwos ac kowos ekin.
7Are they not the ones who blaspheme the noble name by which you have been called?
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.”
8If you really fulfill the royal law stated in Scripture, “Love your neighbor as yourself,” you are doing well.
9A kowos fin srisri, kowos orekma koluk, ac Ma Sap uh ac nununkekowos oana mwet kunaus ma sap.
9But if you show favoritism, you sin and are convicted by the law as transgressors.
10Kutena mwet su srike in karinganang ma sap nukewa a el kunausla sie, oasr mwatal kac nufon.
10Whoever keeps the whole law but stumbles at just one point is guilty of breaking all of it.
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.
11For He who said, “Do not commit adultery,” also said, “Do not murder.” If you do not commit adultery, but do commit murder, you have become a lawbreaker.
12Kowos in kaskas ac orekma oana mwet su etu lah God El ac nununku mwet fal nu ke ma sap su ase sukosok.
12Speak and act as those who are going to be judged by the law that gives freedom.
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.
13For judgment without mercy will be shown to anyone who has not been merciful. Mercy triumphs over judgment.
14Mwet lulalfongi wiuk, mea sripa sie mwet el fin fahk mu oasr lulalfongi lal, a orekma lal tia akpwayei? Lulalfongi sac ku in molella?
14What good is it, my brothers, if someone claims to have faith, but has no deeds? Can such faith save him?
15Fin oasr mwet lulalfongi wiasr, mukul ku mutan, su enenu nuknuk ac wangin ma nalos.
15Suppose a brother or sister is without clothes and daily food.
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?
16If one of you tells him, “Go in peace; stay warm and well fed,” but does not provide for his physical needs, what good is that?
17Oapana lulalfongi uh: el fin mukena ac wangin orekma wi, na lulalfongi sac misa.
17So too, faith by itself, if it does not result in action, is dead.
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.”
18But someone will say, “You have faith and I have deeds.” Show me your faith without deeds, and I will show you my faith by my deeds.
19Ya kom lulalfongi lah oasr God sefanna? Wona! Demon uh elos lulalfongi pac, ac rarrar ke sangeng.
19You believe that God is one. Good for you! Even the demons believe that—and shudder.
20Kom sie mwet lalfon! Ya kom lungse in oasr mwe akpwayeye nu sum lah lulalfongi sayen orekma wanginna sripa?
20O foolish man, do you want evidence that faith without deeds is worthless?
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.
21Was not our father Abraham justified by what he did when he offered his son Isaac on the altar?
22Kom tia akilen? Lulalfongi lal ac orekma lal tukenina orekma. Lulalfongi lal aksuwosyeyuk ke orekma lal.
22You see that his faith was working with his actions, and his faith was perfected by what he did.
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.
23And the Scripture was fulfilled that says, “Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness,” and he was called a friend of God.
24Inge, kowos liye lah sie mwet el aksuwosyeyuk yurin God ke orekma lal, ac tia ke lulalfongi lal mukena.
24As you can see, a man is justified by his deeds and not by faith alone.
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.
25In the same way, was not even Rahab the prostitute justified by her actions when she welcomed the spies and sent them off on another route?
26Na oana ke mano sayen ngun el misa, ouinge lulalfongi sayen orekma el misa.
26As the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without deeds is dead.
