JAKUP 1
1 Surat enda i bas aku nari, Jakup, persuruhen Dibata ras Tuhan Jesus Kristus.
Mejuah-juah man bandu kerina anak-anak Dibata si merap i taneh perlajangen. tKiniteken dingen kepentaren
2 O senina-seninangku, sangap min iakapndu bandu adi reh erbage-bage percuban ngkenai kam. 3 Sabap ietehndu adi kinitekenndu tetap tahan ngalaken percuban-percuban e, kam jadi kalak megenggeng. 4 Tetaplah kam megenggeng seh kinigenggengenndu serta, maka kam dewasa i bas kai-kai pe, dingen la kekurangen. 5 Tapi adi lit i bas kam si kurang kepentarenna, ertotolah ia man Dibata si mereken kepentaren man bandu. Sabap Dibata kap mereken kepentaren man kerina jelma alu melumbar dingen dem perkuah ate. 6 Tapi ertoto arus tek, ola monce-once. Kalak si monce-once bali kap ras gelumbang i lawit si ibentuken angin ku jah ku jenda.
7-8 Kalak si bage ertupang ukurna; la ia ngasup muat keputusen i bas kerina si ibahanna. E maka la pada iarapkenna ndatken kai pe i bas Tuhan nari.Kemusilen dingen kebayaken
9 Megahlah iakap kalak musil adi ipeganjangken, 10 bage pe megahlah iakap kalak bayak adi ipeteruk. Sabap kalak bayak kernep me pagi bagi bunga dukut. t
11 Asum matawari reh ganjangna, wari pe reh lasna, melus dukut e, e maka nartar bungana janah bene pe jilena. Bage me pe kalak bayak, kernep me sanga ndahiken dahinna.Ujin dingen percuban
12 Ketuahen kalak si megenggeng ibas erbage-bage percuban. Sabap kenca menang i bas percuban e, ialokenna me ulih kemenangenna, e me kegeluhen si enggo ipadanken Dibata man kalak si ngkelengi Dibata. 13 Adi lit kalak ikenai percuban, ola min nina, “Percuban enda rehna i bas Dibata nari.” Sabap Dibata la banci icubai si jahat, janah ise pe labo icubai Dibata. 14 Tapi kalak kena percuban adi ia tergoda jenari kena siding sura-surana si jahat.
15 Janah adi sura-surana si jahat e ipejangjang, tubuh me dosa. Adi dosa e enggo ilakoken, buahna e me kematen.
16 Ola kam tertipu o senina-senina si kukelengi! 17 Kerina pemere si mehuli ras serta rehna i Surga nari; pemere e ipesusur Dibata, si njadiken kerina si ersinalsal i langit. Dibata tetap nge; labo Ia erdauhna i bas kita nari seh maka itadingkenNa awih-awih si gelap i sekelewetta.
18 Rikutken peratenNa kita enggo ipekuanakNa arah kataNa si tuhu-tuhu, gelah kita si meganjangna i bas kerina si ijadikenNa.Megi dingen ndalankenca
19 O senina-seninangku, ingetlah! Kerina arus metinggel, tapi ola minter ngerana, dingen ola sukah merawa. 20 Rawa manusia labo ngasup erbahan si mehuli si ngena ate Dibata.
21 E maka pedauhlah i bas kam nari kebiasan-kebiasan si melket ras lagu langkah si jahat. Alokenlah alu meteruk ukur kata si isuanken Dibata i bas pusuhndu, sabap kata e ngasup nelamatken kam.
22 Ola tipu bandu alu megi-megi kataNa saja, tapi dalankenlah kai si iajarken Kata e. 23 Kalak si megi Kata e tapi la idalankenna, bali me ia ras kalak si ercurmin, janah idahna kuga rupana jine. 24 Ipepayona dirina, jenari lawes ia, janah minter lupa ia kuga rupana.
25 Kalak si mperdiateken pedah Dibata alu mehuli, si terus mpergermetkenca, si la megi-megi saja, kalak si bage ipasu-pasu Dibata i bas kerina pendahinna. Sabap pedah Dibata e serta kap dingen ngasup mbebasken manusia.
26 Ise kin erpengakap maka ia kalak si eragama? Adi la ijagana dilahna sia-sia me ia eragama e, janah itipuna dirina. 27 Agama si tuhu-tuhu dingen si mehuli rikutken pengakap Dibata Bapanta e me: pekena-kena anak-anak melumang ras kalak si enggo mbalu si lit i bas kiniseran, bage pe njaga diri gelah ola icedaken doni enda.
James 1
Salutation
1 From James,t a slavets of God and the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes dispersed abroad.t Greetings!
Joy in Trials
2 My brothers and sisters,t consider it nothing but joyt when you fall into all sorts of trials,3 because you know that the testing of your faith produces endurance.4 And let endurance have its perfect effect, so that you will be perfect and complete, not deficient in anything.5 But if anyone is deficient in wisdom, he should ask God, who gives to all generously and without reprimand, and it will be given to him.6 But he must ask in faith without doubting, for the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed around by the wind.7 For that person must not suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord,
8 since he is a double-minded individual,ts unstable in all his ways.
9 Now the believert of humble meanst should take pridet in his high position.t10 But the rich person’s pride should be in his humiliation, because he will pass away like a wildflower in the meadow.t11 For the sun rises with its heat and dries up the meadow; the petal of the flower falls off and its beauty is lost forever.t So also the rich person in the midst of his pursuits will wither away.12 Happy is the onet who endures testing, because when he has proven to be genuine, he will receive the crown of life that Gods promised to those who love him.13 Let no one say when he is tempted, “I am tempted by God,” for God cannot be tempted by evil,t and he himself tempts no one.14 But each one is tempted when he is lured and enticed by his own desires.15 Then when desire conceives, it gives birth to sin, and when sin is full grown, it gives birth to death.16 Do not be led astray, my dear brothers and sisters.t17 All generous giving and every perfect giftt is from above, coming downt from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or the slightest hint of change.t
18 By his sovereign plan he gave us birtht through the message of truth, that we would be a kind of firstfruits of all he created.
Living Out the Message
19 Understand this, my dear brothers and sisters!t Let every person be quick to listen, slow to speak, slow to anger.20 For humant anger does not accomplish God’s righteousness.s21 So put away all filth and evil excess and humblyt welcome the message implanted within you, which is able to save your souls.22 But be sure you live out the message and do not merely listen to it and so deceive yourselves.23 For if someone merely listens to the message and does not live it out, he is like someonet who gazes at his own facet in a mirror.24 For he gazes at himself and then goes out and immediately forgetst what sort of person he was.25 But the one who peers into the perfect law of liberty and fixes his attention there,t and does not become a forgetful listener but one who lives it out – het will be blessed in what he does.t26 If someone thinks he is religious yet does not bridle his tongue, and so deceives his heart, his religion is futile.
27 Pure and undefiled religion beforet God the Fathert is this: to care for orphans and widows in their misfortune and to keep oneself unstained by the world.
