1James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are in the Dispersion: Greetings.
1Ma sel James, sie mwet kulansap lun God ac lun Leum Jesus Christ: Paing mwet lun God nukewa su fahsrelik fin faclu nufon.
2Count it all joy, my brothers, when you fall into various temptations,
2Mwet lulalfongi wiuk, ke kain in mwe srike puspis sun kowos, kowos in oakla mu ma inge mwe insewowo nu suwos,
3knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance.
3tuh kowos etu lah ke pacl se lulalfongi lowos kutangla fin mwe srike inge, saflaiya muteng lowos uh yokelik.
4Let endurance have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.
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.
5But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him.
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.
6But let him ask in faith, without any doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, driven by the wind and tossed.
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.
7For that man shouldn’t think that he will receive anything from the Lord.
7Mwet ouinge in tia nunku mu elos ac eis kutena ma sin Leum.
8He is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.
8Elos tafu luo in nunak lalos, ac seokak in ma nukewa.
9Let the brother in humble circumstances glory in his high position;
9Sie mwet Christian su sukasrup enenu in engan lah God El akfulatyalak,
10and the rich, in that he is made humble, because like the flower in the grass, he will pass away.
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.
11For the sun arises with the scorching wind and withers the grass; and the flower in it falls, and the beauty of its appearance perishes. So the rich man will also fade away in his pursuits.
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.
12Blessed is a person who endures temptation, for when he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord promised to those who love him.
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.
13Let no man say when he is tempted, “I am tempted by God,” for God can’t be tempted by evil, and he himself tempts no one.
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.
14But each one is tempted when he is drawn away by his own lust and enticed.
14A mwet se el srifeyuk ke sripen lungse lal sifacna, su amakunulla nu ke ma koluk ac el sruhfla.
15Then the lust, when it has conceived, bears sin. The sin, when it is full grown, produces death.
15Ac ke kena koluk lal kui in el, ac oswela ma koluk lulap; ac ke ma koluk inge yokelikna, ac kololla nu ke misa.
16Don’t be deceived, my beloved brothers.
16Mwet kawuk saok luk, kowos in tia kiapweyukla!
17Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom can be no variation nor turning shadow.
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.
18Of his own will he gave birth to us by the word of truth, that we should be a kind of first fruits of his creatures.
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.
19So, then, my beloved brothers, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, and slow to anger;
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.
20for the anger of man doesn’t produce the righteousness of God.
20Mweyen ke mwet uh kasrkusrak, elos tia ku in orala sripa suwoswos lun God.
21Therefore, putting away all filthiness and overflowing of wickedness, receive with humility the implanted word, which is able to save your souls.
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.
22But be doers of the word, and not only hearers, deluding your own selves.
22Kowos in oru oana ma kas lun God uh fahk, ac tia lohng mukena; tuh kowos fin lohng ac tia oru, kowos sifacna kiapwekowos.
23For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man looking at his natural face in a mirror;
23Kutena mwet su lohng na kas ac tia moulkin, el oana mwet se ma ngetang ac liye lumahl in selngun uh.
24for he sees himself, and goes away, and immediately forgets what kind of man he was.
24Tukun el liye tari, el ac som ac sa na mulkunla lah fuka lumahl.
25But he who looks into the perfect law of freedom and continues, not being a hearer who forgets but a doer of the work, this man will be blessed in what he does.
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.
26If anyone among you thinks himself to be religious while he doesn’t bridle his tongue, but deceives his heart, this man’s religion is worthless.
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.
27Pure religion and undefiled before our God and Father is this: to visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained by the world.
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.
