1James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad, greeting.
1Katar o Iakov, e sluga le Devlesko ai le Devles Jesus Kristosko: kal desh u dui vitsa kai si hulade pe sa e lumia.
2My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations;
2Murhe phral! Jinen tumen sar raduime kana san zumade katar but dieli,
3Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience.
3ke zhanen, ke te inkerela tumaro pachamos kal zumaimata, antunchi avela e rhavda.
4But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.
4Numa meken te kerel e rhavda peski buchi mishto, saxke porme te aven vorta ande soste godi, ai te na trobul tume kanchi.
5If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.
5Numa te si iek anda tumende kai chi haliarel, trobul te mangel katar O Del, te del les te haliarel, ai O Del dela les; ke O Del del savorhen but ai lashimasa.
6But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.
6Numa o manush trobul te mangel le pachamasa, bi te mothol dela ma vai nichi. Ke o manush kai chi pachal ke lel so mangel kodo manush si sar iek talazo la mariako kai e barval vazdel ai spidel pe swako rik.
7For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord.
7Ai kasavestar manush te na gindil ke lela vari so katar O Kristo;
8A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.
8ke dui ginduria si les, ai chi zhanel so mangel.
9Let the brother of low degree rejoice in that he is exalted:
9O phral o chorho trobul te luvudilpe ke O Del vazdel les.
10But the rich, in that he is made low: because as the flower of the grass he shall pass away.
10Ai o phral o barvalo, te luvudilpe ke mekel les O Del tele, ke o barvalo nakhela sar iek luluji.
11For the sun is no sooner risen with a burning heat, but it withereth the grass, and the flower thereof falleth, and the grace of the fashion of it perisheth: so also shall the rich man fade away in his ways.
11O kham wushtel peske bare tachimasa, ai shucharel e char, ai e luluji perel, ai lake shuk zhaltar; no sakadia o barvalo zhalatar mashkar peske bucha.
12Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him.
12Raduime te avel o manush kai inkerel kana si zumado, ke porme pala kodia kana avela zumado avela les dini e konona le traioski, kai O Kristo shinadia kodolenge kai si leske drago.
13Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man:
13Kana si vari kon zumado, chi trobul te mothol, " O Del zumavel ma." Ke O Del nashtil te avel zumado katar o nasulimos, ai chi zumavel chi wo kanikas.
14But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed.
14Numa swako manush si zumado, kana si tsirdino ai lino ande atsaimos katar pesko chorho gindo.
15Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.
15Ai antunchi o chorho gindo anel o bezex; ai kana o bezex kerdilo, antunchi avel e martia.
16Do not err, my beloved brethren.
16Na shubin tume, murhe kuchi phral!
17Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.
17So godi lashimos kai si dino ai so godi podarki lashe anda cheri aven katar O Del, O Del kai kerel le vediari kai si ando cheri, O Del shoxar chi parhudiol, ai chi kerel chi iek tuniariko la vushalinasa.
18Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures.
18Peska voiatar wo dia ame o traio katar e Vorba e chachi, saxke te avas le pervi mashkar sa le dieli kai kerdia.
19Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:
19Den tume mishto goji kacha diela, murhe kuchi phral! Ke swako manush trobul te ashunel but, numa te na grebilpe te del duma, ai te na xoliavol sigo.
20For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God.
20Ke kana iek manush si xoliariko chi kerel so si vorta angla Del.
21Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls.
21Anda kodia shuden so godi meliarel, ai so godi anel le chingara, ai premin pachival les e Vorba kai O Del thol ande tumare ile, ai kai sai skepil tume.
22But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.
22Na dziliaren tume, tume korkorho ferdi ke ashunen E Vorba le Devleski, numa keren so mothol.
23For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass:
23Ke o manush kai ashunel E Vorba le Devleski, ai chi kerel so mothol, wo si sar iek manush kai dikhelpe ande glinda ai dikhel sar lo.
24For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was.
24Ai porme kana dikhliape zhaltar, ai strazo bustrel sar sas.
25But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.
25Numa koko kai lel sama mishto ka zakono o chacho kai skepil ame, ai kai chi mai mekel les, ai kai chi ferdi raduilpe te ashunel, ai porme te bustrel, numa kai kerel so mothol, kodo manush avela swuntsome katar O Del ande so godi kerela.
26If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man's religion is vain.
26Te mothola vari kon ke pachalpe ando Del, ai te nashtila te inkerel peski ship, wo dziliarel pe pes, ai ande soste mothol ke pachalpe, chi mol kanchi.
27Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.
27Le devlekane kai si vuzhi ai chachi angla Del amaro Dat si te le sama katar le sirotki ai katar le phivlia ande pengo chino, ai arakh tu katar le dieli la lumiake kai sai rimon tu.
