¹James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are in the Dispersion: Greetings.

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

²Count it all joy, my brothers The word for “brothers” here and where context allows may also be correctly translated “brothers and sisters” or “siblings.” , when you fall into various temptations,

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

³knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance.

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

⁴Let endurance have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.

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

⁵But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach; and it will be given to 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, without any doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, driven by 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 that man not think that he will receive anything from the Lord.

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

⁸He is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.

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

⁹But let the brother in humble circumstances glory in his high position;

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

¹⁰and the rich, in that he is made humble, because like the flower in the grass, he will 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 arises with the scorching wind, and withers the grass, and the flower in it falls, and the beauty of its appearance perishes. So also will the rich man fade away in his pursuits.

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 who endures temptation, for when he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life, which the Lord promised to those who 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 by God,” for God can’t be tempted by evil, and he himself tempts no one.

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 each one is tempted, when he is drawn away by his own lust, and enticed.

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

¹⁵Then the lust, when it has conceived, bears sin; and the sin, when it is full grown, brings forth death.

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

¹⁶Don’t be deceived, my beloved brothers.

¹⁶Na shubin tume, murhe kuchi phral!

¹⁷Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom can be no variation, nor turning shadow.

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 he brought us forth by the word of truth, that we should be a kind of first fruits 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.

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

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 anger of man doesn’t produce the righteousness of God.

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

²¹Therefore, putting away all filthiness and overflowing of wickedness, receive with humility the implanted word, which is able to save your souls or, preserve your life. .

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 doers of the word, and not only hearers, deluding your own selves.

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

²³For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man looking at his natural face in a mirror;

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 sees himself, and goes away, and immediately forgets what kind of man he was.

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

²⁵But he who looks into the perfect law of freedom, and continues, not being a hearer who forgets, but a doer of the work, this man will be blessed in what he does.

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 anyone among you thinks himself to be religious while he doesn’t bridle his tongue, but deceives his heart, this man’s religion is worthless.

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 our God and Father is this: to visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained by 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.
