¹My brethren, hold not, in respect of persons, the faith of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ,

¹Walaalahayow, iimaanka Rabbigeenna Ciise Masiix kan ammaanta leh eexasho ha ku haysanina.

²for if there may come into your synagogue a man with gold ring, in gay raiment, and there may come in also a poor man in vile raiment,

²Haddii nin kaatun dahab ah iyo dhar quruxsan qabaa shirkiinna soo galo, oo haddana haddii nin kale oo miskiin ah oo dhar uskag leh qabaa soo galo,

³and ye may look upon him bearing the gay raiment, and may say to him, `Thou — sit thou here well,` and to the poor man may say, `Thou — stand thou there, or, Sit thou here under my footstool,` —

³oo aad fiirisaan ka dharka quruxdasan qaba oo aad ku tidhaahdaan, Adigu kaalay oo halkan wanaagsan fadhiiso, oo aad ku tidhaahdaan ka miskiinka ah, Adigu xaggaas istaag ama halkan cagahayga ag fadhiiso,

⁴ye did not judge fully in yourselves, and did become ill-reasoning judges.

⁴miyeydnaan kala qaybsamin oo miyeydnaan noqonin kuwa fikirrada sharka leh wax ku xukuma?

⁵Hearken, my brethren beloved, did not God choose the poor of this world, rich in faith, and heirs of the reign that He promised to those loving Him?

⁵I dhegaysta, walaalahayga aan jeclahayow. Miyaan Ilaah u dooran kuwa ah masaakiinta xagga dunida inay ahaadaan kuwa hodan ku ah rumaysadka oo dhaxla boqortooyaduu u ballanqaaday kuwa isaga jecel?

⁶and ye did dishonour the poor one; do not the rich oppress you and themselves draw you to judgment-seats;

⁶Laakiin idinku waad maamuus jebiseen miskiinkii. Taajiriintu miyaanay idin dulmin oo miyaanay idiin jiidin maxkamadda?

⁷do they not themselves speak evil of the good name that was called upon you?

⁷Miyaanay caayin magaca wanaagsan oo laydiinku yeedhay?

⁸If, indeed, royal law ye complete, according to the Writing, `Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself,` — ye do well;

⁸Haddaba haddaad oofisaan sharciga boqornimada siduu Qorniinku leeyahay, Waa inaad deriskaaga u jeclaataa sida naftaada, si wanaagsan baad yeeshaan.

⁹and if ye accept persons, sin ye do work, being convicted by the law as transgressors;

⁹Laakiin haddaad dadka u kala eexataan waad dembaabtaan, oo sharcigu wuu idinku caddeeyey inaad tihiin kuwa xadgudbay.

¹⁰for whoever the whole law shall keep, and shall stumble in one [point], he hath become guilty of all;

¹⁰Ku alla kii sharciga oo dhan xajiya oo qaynuun keliya ku gafa, kulli wuu ku eedaysan yahay.

¹¹for He who is saying, `Thou mayest not commit adultery,` said also, `Thou mayest do no murder;` and if thou shalt not commit adultery, and shalt commit murder, thou hast become a transgressor of law;

¹¹Waayo, kii yidhi, Ha sinaysan; wuxuu kaloo yidhi, Cidna ha dilin. Haddaanad sinaysanin laakiin aad dad disho, waxaad noqotay ku sharciga ku xadgudbay.

¹²so speak ye and so do, as about by a law of liberty to be judged,

¹²Sidii kuwo sharciga xorriyadda lagu xukumi doono, u hadla oo u yeela.

¹³for the judgment without kindness [is] to him not having done kindness, and exult doth kindness over judgment.

¹³Xukunku naxariis uma leh kii aan dadka u naxariisan; naxariistu way ka faantaa xukunka.

¹⁴What [is] the profit, my brethren, if faith, any one may speak of having, and works he may not have? is that faith able to save him?

¹⁴Maxay tartaa, walaalahayow, haddii nin yidhaahdo, Rumaysad baan leeyahay, laakiin aanu shuqullo lahayn? Rumaysadku ma badbaadin karaa isaga?

¹⁵and if a brother or sister may be naked, and may be destitute of the daily food,

¹⁵Walaal wiil ah ama walaal gabadh ah hadday arradan yihiin oo cuntadii maalinta u baahan yihiin,

¹⁶and any one of you may say to them, `Depart ye in peace, be warmed, and be filled,` and may not give to them the things needful for the body, what [is] the profit?

¹⁶oo midkiin ku yidhaahdo iyaga, Nabad gala, diirsada oo dherga, oo weliba aydnaan siin waxa jidhku u baahan yahay, maxay tartaa?

¹⁷so also the faith, if it may not have works, is dead by itself.

¹⁷Haddaba sidaas oo kale rumaysadku haddaanu shuqullo lahayn keli ahaantiisu waa meyd.

¹⁸But say may some one, Thou hast faith, and I have works, shew me thy faith out of thy works, and I will shew thee out of my works my faith:

¹⁸Laakiin waxaa la odhan doonaa, Adigu waxaad leedahay rumaysad, anna waxaan leeyahay shuqullo. I tus rumaysadkaaga aan shuqullada lahayn, anna rumaysadkayga shuqulladaydaan kugu tusi doonaa.

¹⁹thou — thou dost believe that God is one; thou dost well, and the demons believe, and they shudder!

¹⁹Waad rumaysan tahay in Ilaah yahay mid keliya. Taas waad ku wanaagsan tahay. Xataa jinniyaduna sidaas way rumaysan yihiin, wayna gariiraan.

²⁰And dost thou wish to know, O vain man, that the faith apart from the works is dead?

²⁰Doqonow, ma doonaysaa inaad garatid in rumaysadka aan shuqullada lahaynu aanu waxba tarin?

²¹Abraham our father — was not he declared righteous out of works, having brought up Isaac his son upon the altar?

²¹Miyaan awowgeen Ibraahim shuqullo lagu caddaynin inuu xaq yahay goortuu wiilkiisii Isxaaq meeshii allabariga ku bixiyey?

²²dost thou see that the faith was working with his works, and out of the works the faith was perfected?

²²Waad garanaysaa in rumaysadku shuqulladiisii la shaqeeyey, oo rumaysadku kaamil ku noqday shuqullada.

²³and fulfilled was the Writing that is saying, `And Abraham did believe God, and it was reckoned to him — to righteousness;` and, `Friend of God` he was called.

²³Waxaa rumoobay Qorniinka leh, Ibraahimna Ilaah buu rumaystay, oo waxaa isaga loogu tiriyey xaqnimo, oo waxaa loogu yeedhay saaxiibkii Ilaah.

²⁴Ye see, then, that out of works is man declared righteous, and not out of faith only;

²⁴Waxaad garanaysaan in nin shuqullo lagu caddeeyo inuu xaq yahay oo aan lagu caddayn rumaysadka oo keliya.

²⁵and in like manner also Rahab the harlot — was she not out of works declared righteous, having received the messengers, and by another way having sent forth?

²⁵Sidaas oo kale miyaan dhilladii Raxab ahayd shuqullo lagu caddayn inay xaq tahay kolkay soo dhowaysay basaasyadii oo ay jid kale u dirtay?Sida jidhkii aan ruux lahaynu meyd u yahay, sidaas oo kaluu rumaysadkii aan shuqullo lahaynuna meyd u yahay.

²⁶for as the body apart from the spirit is dead, so also the faith apart from the works is dead.

²⁶Sida jidhkii aan ruux lahaynu meyd u yahay, sidaas oo kaluu rumaysadkii aan shuqullo lahaynuna meyd u yahay.
