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 brothers, don’t hold the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ of glory with partiality.

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 a man with a gold ring, in fine clothing, comes into your synagogue or, meeting , and a poor man in filthy clothing also comes in;

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 you pay special attention to him who wears the fine clothing, and say, “Sit here in a good place”; and you tell the poor man, “Stand there,” or “Sit by my footstool”;

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

⁴haven’t you shown partiality 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.

⁵Listen, my beloved brothers. Didn’t God choose those who are poor in this world to be rich in faith, and heirs of the Kingdom which he promised to those who 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 you have dishonored the poor man. Don’t the rich oppress you, and personally drag you before the courts?

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

⁷Don’t they blaspheme the honorable name by which you 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."

⁸However, if you fulfill the royal law, according to the Scripture, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself,” Leviticus 19:18 you 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 you show partiality, you 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 whoever keeps the whole law, and yet stumbles in one point, he has 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 who said, “Do not commit adultery,” Exodus 20:14; Deuteronomy 5:18 also said, “Do not commit murder.” Exodus 10:13; Deuteronomy 5:17 Now if you do not commit adultery, but murder, you have 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, and so do, as men who are to be judged by a law of freedom.

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 who has shown no mercy. Mercy triumphs over 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 good is it, my brothers, if a man says he has faith, but has no works? Can faith save him?

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

¹⁵And if a brother or sister is 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 tells them, “Go in peace, be warmed and filled”; and yet you didn’t give them the things the body needs, what good is it?

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 has no 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'.

¹⁸Yes, a man will say, “You have faith, and I have works.” Show me your faith without works, and I by my works will show you 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.

¹⁹You believe that God is one. You do 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 do you want to know, vain man, that faith apart from works is dead?

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'.

²¹Wasn’t Abraham our father justified by works, in that he offered up Isaac his son on 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.

²²You see that faith worked with his works, and by works faith was perfected;

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 says, “Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him as righteousness”; Genesis 15:6 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.

²⁴You see then 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.

²⁵In the same way, wasn’t Rahab the prostitute also 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.
