¹My brothers, don’t hold the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ of glory with partiality.

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

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;

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 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”;

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,

⁴haven’t you shown partiality among yourselves, and become judges with evil thoughts?

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

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?

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?

⁶But you have dishonored the poor man. Don’t the rich oppress you, and personally drag you before the courts?

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

⁷Don’t they blaspheme the honorable name by which you are called?

⁷Miyaanay caayin magaca wanaagsan oo laydiinku yeedhay?

⁸However, if you fulfill the royal law, according to the Scripture, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself,” Leviticus 19:18 you do well.

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

⁹But if you show partiality, you commit sin, 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 keeps the whole law, and yet stumbles in one point, he has become guilty of all.

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

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.

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, and so do, as men who are to be judged by a law of freedom.

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

¹³For judgment is without mercy to him who has shown no mercy. Mercy triumphs over judgment.

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

¹⁴What good is it, my brothers, if a man says he has faith, but has no works? Can faith 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 is naked and in lack of daily food,

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

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?

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

¹⁷Even so faith, if it has no works, is dead in itself.

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

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.

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.

¹⁹You believe that God is one. You do well. The demons also believe, and shudder.

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

²⁰But do you want to know, vain man, that faith apart from works is dead?

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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?

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, even so faith apart from works is dead.

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