¹Ompi' -ku hawe'ea! Pue' -ta, Pue' Yesus Kristus, uma mowo kabaraka' -na. Jadi', ane mepangala' -ta-damo hi Pue' -e, neo' -ta mpelence tauna.

¹My brethren, hold not the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, [the Lord] of glory, with respect of persons.

²Rapa' -na rata hi porumpua-ta hadua tauna to mohincii bulawa pai' moheai to ncola, pai' rata wo'o-hawo hadua tokabu to moheai ronto-na.

²For if there come into your synagogue a man with a gold ring, in fine clothing, and there come in also a poor man in vile clothing;

³Ane meliu pebila' -ta hi tauna to lompe' pohea-na toe, pai' ta'uli' -ki: "Mai-ta mohura hi pohuraa to lompe' tohe'i," hiaa' hi tauna to kabu ta'uli': "Mokore hi retu-moko mai," ba ta'uli' -ki: "Mohura retu-moko hi ila',"

³and ye have regard to him that weareth the fine clothing, and say, Sit thou here in a good place; and ye say to the poor man, Stand thou there, or sit under my footstool;

⁴batua-na, tapoposisala hingka doo-ta, pai' tapelence tauna hante patuju to dada'a.

⁴Do ye not make distinctions among yourselves, and become judges with evil thoughts?

⁵Ompi' -ku to kupe'ahi'! Pe'epei lompe' -dile: tauna to mpe'ahii' katuwu' -ra, nau' uma-ra mo'ua' hi dunia' toi, Alata'ala mpelihi-ra bona jadi' mo'ua' hi pepangala' -ra. Hira' toe-mi mpai' to mporata rasi' hi rala Kamagaua' -na, hewa to najanci-raka tauna to mpoka'ahi' -i.

⁵Hearken, my beloved brethren; did not God choose them that are poor as to the world [to be] rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he promised to them that love him?

⁶Hiaa' ane hewa toe we'i pololita-ta hi torata-e, hewa taruge' lau-ramo doo-ta to kabu! Hiaa' hema to biasa-na mpobalinai' -koi pai' mpakilu-koi hi totu'a ngata? Bate tauna topo'ua' -hana!

⁶But ye have dishonored the poor man. Do not the rich oppress you, and themselves drag you before the judgment-seats?

⁷Topo'ua' toe-ramo to mporuge' hanga' to tabila', to tatarima ngkai Alata'ala.

⁷Do not they blaspheme the honorable name by which ye are called?

⁸Po'ingku-ta to lompe' ompi', ane tatuku' hawa' Magau' -ta to tabasa hi rala Buku Tomoroli' to mpo'uli': "Kana tapoka'ahi' doo-ta hewa kampoka'ahi' -ta woto-ta moto."

⁸Howbeit if ye fulfil the royal law, according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself, ye do well:

⁹Aga ane tapoposisala-di tauna ntuku' tuwu' -ra ba lence-ra, mojeko' -ta ompi'. Monoa' -mi kamojeko' -ta, apa' Atura Pue' -mi to tatiboki toe-e.

⁹but if ye have respect of persons, ye commit sin, being convicted by the law as transgressors.

¹⁰Apa' nau' tahuduwukui mpotuku' hawe'ea parenta to hi rala Atura Pue', ane tatiboki nau' hanyala-wadi, bate masala' -ta-hana. Ma'ala-mi ta'uli', hewa to tatiboki hawe'ea lau-mi.

¹⁰For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet stumble in one [point], he is become guilty of all.

¹¹Apa' ria hawa' Pue' to mpo'uli': "Neo' mobualo'." Pai' ria wo'o hawa' -na to mpo'uli': "Neo' mepatehi." Jadi', nau' uma-ta mobualo', aga ane mepatehi-ta, mpotiboki Atura Pue' oa' -tamo.

¹¹For he that said, Do not commit adultery, said also, Do not kill. Now if thou dost not commit adultery, but killest, thou art become a transgressor of the law.

¹²Toe pai' kana tapelompehi pololita-ta pai' po'ingku-ta. Apa' kita' toi-mi to rapohurai kara-kara-ta ntuku' Atura Pue' to mpobahaka manusia' ngkai jeko'.

¹²So speak ye, and so do, as men that are to be judged by a law of liberty.

¹³Apa' tauna to uma ria ahi' -na hi doo-na, Pue' mpai' mpohuku' -i hante uma ria ahi' -na. Aga hi tauna to ma'ahi' hi doo-na, Pue' wo'o mpai' mpopohiloi-i ahi' -na hi eo pehukua'.

¹³For judgment [is] without mercy to him that hath showed no mercy: mercy glorieth against judgment.

¹⁴Ompi' -ku hawe'ea! Napa-mi-hawo kalaua-na ane ta'uli' mepangala' -ta hi Pue', pai' po'ingku-ta uma mpotuku' konoa-na. Ha tebahaka-ta mpai' ngkai huku' jeko' -ta ane hewa toe-wadi pepangala' -tae? Uma-e'!

¹⁴What doth it profit, my brethren, if a man say he hath faith, but have not works? can that faith save him?

¹⁵Rapa' -na ria hadua ompi' -ta to mparaluu pohea, pai' uma wo'o hono' pongkoni' -na butu eo-na.

¹⁵If a brother or sister be naked and in lack of daily food,

¹⁶Napa-mi-hawo kalaua-na ane ta'uli' -ki hewa toi: "Pelompehi momako'! Kusarumaka moheai lompe' -ko pai' ngkoni' mpebohui-moko!" Hiaa' ane uma-i tawai' napa to naparaluu, napa-mi-hawo kalaua-nae?

¹⁶and one of you say unto them, Go in peace, be ye warmed and filled; and yet ye give them not the things needful to the body; what doth it profit?

¹⁷Wae wo'o hante pepangala' -ta: ane ta'uli' mepangala' -ta hi Pue', pai' po'ingku-ta uma mpotuku' konoa-na, batua-na mepangala' mara-ta-wadi. Pepangala' to hewa toe, hewa pae to lopa'-- uma ria ihi-na.

¹⁷Even so faith, if it have not works, is dead in itself.

¹⁸Meka' ria mpai' to mpo'uli' hewa toi: "To hadua ncarumaka hi pepangala' -na, to hadua ncarumaka hi kalompe' po'ingku-na." Hiaa' aku' mpo'uli': uma-ko bisa mpopohiloi-a pepangala' -nu tetu-e ane uma lompe' po'ingku-nu. Aga aku', ngkai po'ingku-ku to lompe', kupopohiloi-koko karia-na wo'o pepangala' -ku hi Pue'.

¹⁸Yea, a man will say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: show me thy faith apart from [thy] works, and I by my works will show thee [my] faith.

¹⁹Ha tapangala' kahadudua-na-wadi Alata'ala-e? Makono moto tetu. Aga ane tetu-wadi, uma hono'! Bangku' seta-hawoe', rapangala' wo'o-rawo kahadudua-na-wadi Alata'ala. Toe pai' moridi' -ra nakeni eka' -ra.

¹⁹Thou believest that God is one; thou doest well: the demons also believe, and shudder.

²⁰Wojo lia-ta ompi' ane ta'uli' hono' -mi mepangala' mara-wadi hi Alata'ala hante uma ria po'ingku-ta to lompe'. Uma ria tuju-na pepangala' to hewa tetu.

²⁰But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith apart from works is barren?

²¹Kiwoi tutura-na Abraham: Alata'ala mpotarima-i napomonoa' -i hi poncilo-na sabana po'ingku-na, apa' Abraham mpotonu Ishak ana' -na hi Alata'ala hi lolo watu pontunua pepuea'.

²¹Was not Abraham our father justified by works, in that he offered up Isaac his son upon the altar?

²²Hi tutura tohe'e, monoto-mi tahilo: pepangala' -na Abraham incana hi po'ingku-na. Jadi', ma'ala-mi ta'uli' po'ingku-na toe mpakaroli' pepangala' -na.

²²Thou seest that faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect;

²³Jadi', madupa' -mi lolita Buku Tomoroli' to mpo'uli': "Abraham mepangala' hi Alata'ala, pai' ngkai pepangala' -na toe, Alata'ala mpo'uli' kamonoa' -na hi poncilo-na." Toe pai' rahanga' -i bale-na Alata'ala.

²³and the scripture was fulfilled which saith, And Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned unto him for righteousness; and he was called the friend of God.

²⁴Monoto-mi tahilo kanapomonoa' -ra Alata'ala tauna to lompe' po'ingku-ra, uma wule' mepangala' mara-wadi.

²⁴Ye see that by works a man is justified, and not only by faith.

²⁵Wae wo'o tutura-na Rahab, tobine to uma tumotoa gau' -na owi. Ba hangkuja dua tantara to Yahudi rahubui hilou mopadaso' hi ngata bali', pai' Rahab toe-imi to mpopehani-ra hi tomi-na pai' natulungi-ra malai ntara ohea ntani' -na. Ngkai po'ingku-na to lompe' toe-mi pai' alaa-na rapohewa tauna to monoa' -i.

²⁵And in like manner was not also Rahab the harlot justified by works, in that she received the messengers, and sent them out another way?

²⁶Jadi', hewa woto to uma inohaa', ta'uli' mate-imi. Wae wo'o pepangala' -ta, ane uma incana hi po'ingku-ta, hibali mate, uma ria kalaua-na.

²⁶For as the body apart from the spirit is dead, even so faith apart from works is dead.
