¹Katar o Iakov, e sluga le Devlesko ai le Devles Jesus Kristosko: kal desh u dui vitsa kai si hulade pe sa e lumia.

¹James, of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ a servant, to the Twelve Tribes who are in the dispersion: Hail!

²Murhe phral! Jinen tumen sar raduime kana san zumade katar but dieli,

²All joy count [it], my brethren, when ye may fall into temptations manifold;

³ke zhanen, ke te inkerela tumaro pachamos kal zumaimata, antunchi avela e rhavda.

³knowing that the proof of your faith doth work endurance,

⁴Numa meken te kerel e rhavda peski buchi mishto, saxke porme te aven vorta ande soste godi, ai te na trobul tume kanchi.

⁴and let the endurance have a perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire — in nothing lacking;

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.

⁵and if any of you do lack wisdom, let him ask from God, who is giving to all liberally, and not reproaching, and it shall be given to him;

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.

⁶and let him ask in faith, nothing doubting, for he who is doubting hath been like a wave of the sea, driven by wind and tossed,

⁷Ai kasavestar manush te na gindil ke lela vari so katar O Kristo;

⁷for let not that man suppose that he shall receive anything from the Lord —

⁸ke dui ginduria si les, ai chi zhanel so mangel.

⁸a two-souled man [is] unstable in all his ways.

⁹O phral o chorho trobul te luvudilpe ke O Del vazdel les.

⁹And let the brother who is low rejoice in his exaltation,

¹⁰Ai o phral o barvalo, te luvudilpe ke mekel les O Del tele, ke o barvalo nakhela sar iek luluji.

¹⁰and the rich in his becoming low, because as a flower of grass he shall pass away;

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.

¹¹for the sun did rise with the burning heat, and did wither the grass, and the flower of it fell, and the grace of its appearance did perish, so also the rich in his way shall fade away!

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.

¹²Happy the man who doth endure temptation, because, becoming approved, he shall receive the crown of the life, which the Lord did promise to those loving Him.

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.

¹³Let no one say, being tempted — `From God I am tempted,` for God is not tempted of evil, and Himself doth tempt no one,

¹⁴Numa swako manush si zumado, kana si tsirdino ai lino ande atsaimos katar pesko chorho gindo.

¹⁴and each one is tempted, by his own desires being led away and enticed,

¹⁵Ai antunchi o chorho gindo anel o bezex; ai kana o bezex kerdilo, antunchi avel e martia.

¹⁵afterward the desire having conceived, doth give birth to sin, and the sin having been perfected, doth bring forth death.

¹⁶Na shubin tume, murhe kuchi phral!

¹⁶Be not led astray, my brethren beloved;

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.

¹⁷every good giving, and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the lights, with whom is no variation, or shadow of turning;

¹⁸Peska voiatar wo dia ame o traio katar e Vorba e chachi, saxke te avas le pervi mashkar sa le dieli kai kerdia.

¹⁸having counselled, He did beget us with a word of truth, for our being a certain first-fruit of His creatures.

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.

¹⁹So then, my brethren beloved, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger,

²⁰Ke kana iek manush si xoliariko chi kerel so si vorta angla Del.

²⁰for the wrath of a man the righteousness of God doth not work;

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.

²¹wherefore having put aside all filthiness and superabundance of evil, in meekness be receiving the engrafted word, that is able to save your souls;

²²Na dziliaren tume, tume korkorho ferdi ke ashunen E Vorba le Devleski, numa keren so mothol.

²²and become ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves,

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.

²³because, if any one is a hearer of the word and not a doer, this one hath been like to a man viewing his natural face in a mirror,

²⁴Ai porme kana dikhliape zhaltar, ai strazo bustrel sar sas.

²⁴for he did view himself, and hath gone away, and immediately he did forget of what kind he was;

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.

²⁵and he who did look into the perfect law — that of liberty, and did continue there, this one — not a forgetful hearer becoming, but a doer of work — this one shall be happy in his doing.

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.

²⁶If any one doth think to be religious among you, not bridling his tongue, but deceiving his heart, of this one vain [is] the religion;

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.

²⁷religion pure and undefiled with the God and Father is this, to look after orphans and widows in their tribulation — unspotted to keep himself from the world.
