James 2 - Listen Online

¹ ẸNYIN ará mi, ẹ máṣe fi iṣãju enia dì igbagbọ́ Oluwa wa Jesu Kristi Oluwa ogo mu.

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

² Nitori bi ọkunrin kan ba wá si ajọ nyin, pẹlu oruka wura, ati aṣọ daradara, ti talakà kan si wá pẹlu li aṣọ ẽri;

² For if there come unto your assembly a man with a gold ring, in goodly apparel, and there come in also a poor man in vile raiment;

³ Ti ẹnyin si bu iyìn fun ẹniti o wọ̀ aṣọ daradara, ti ẹ si wipe, Iwọ joko nihinyi ni ibi daradara; ti ẹ si wi fun talakà na pe, Iwọ duro nibẹ̀, tabi joko nihin labẹ apoti itisẹ mi:

³ And ye have respect to him that weareth the gay clothing, and say unto him, Sit thou here in a good place; and say to the poor, Stand thou there, or sit here under my footstool:

⁴ Ẹnyin kò ha nda ara nyin si meji ninu ara nyin, ẹ kò ha si di onidajọ ti o ni ero buburu?

⁴ Are ye not then partial in yourselves, and are become judges of evil thoughts?

⁵ Ẹ fi etí silẹ, ẹnyin ará mi olufẹ, Ọlọrun kò ha ti yàn awọn talakà aiye yi ṣe ọlọrọ̀ ni igbagbọ́, ati ajogun ijọba na, ti o ti ṣe ileri fun awọn ti o fẹ ẹ?

⁵ Hearken, my beloved brethren, Hath not God chosen the poor of this world rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he hath promised to them that love him?

⁶ Ṣugbọn ẹnyin ti bù talakà kù. Awọn ọlọrọ̀ kò ha npọ́n nyin loju, nwọn kò ha si nwọ́ nyin lọ si ile ẹjọ?

⁶ But ye have despised the poor. Do not rich men oppress you, and draw you before the judgment seats?

⁷ Nwọn kò ha nsọ ọrọ-odi si orukọ rere nì ti a fi npè nyin?

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

⁸ Ṣugbọn bi ẹnyin ba nmu olú ofin nì ṣẹ gẹgẹ bi iwe-mimọ́, eyini ni, Iwọ fẹ ẹnikeji rẹ bi ara rẹ, ẹnyin nṣe daradara.

⁸ If ye fulfil the royal law according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself, ye do well:

⁹ Ṣugbọn bi ẹnyin ba nṣe ojuṣãju enia, ẹnyin ndẹ̀ṣẹ, a si nda nyin lẹbi nipa ofin bi arufin.

⁹ But if ye have respect to persons, ye commit sin, and are convinced of the law as transgressors.

¹⁰ Nitori ẹnikẹni ti o ba pa gbogbo ofin mọ́, ti o si rú ọ̀kan, o jẹbi gbogbo rẹ̀.

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

¹¹ Nitori ẹniti o wipe, Máṣe ṣe panṣaga, on li o si wipe, Máṣe pania. Njẹ bi iwọ kò ṣe panṣaga, ṣugbọn ti iwọ pania, iwọ di arufin.

¹¹ For he that said, Do not commit adultery, said also, Do not kill. Now if thou commit no adultery, yet if thou kill, thou art become a transgressor of the law.

¹² Ẹ mã sọrọ bẹ̃, ẹ si mã huwa bẹ̃, bi awọn ti a o fi ofin omnira dá li ẹjọ.

¹² So speak ye, and so do, as they that shall be judged by the law of liberty.

¹³ Nitori ẹniti kò ṣãnu, li a o ṣe idajọ fun laisi ãnu; ãnu nṣogo lori idajọ.

¹³ For he shall have judgment without mercy, that hath shewed no mercy; and mercy rejoiceth against judgment.

¹⁴ Ere kili o jẹ, ará mi, bi ẹnikan wipe on ni igbagbọ́, ṣugbọn ti kò ni iṣẹ? igbagbọ́ nì le gbà a là bi?

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

¹⁵ Bi arakunrin tabi arabinrin kan ba wà ni ìhoho, ti o si ṣe aili onjẹ õjọ,

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

¹⁶ Ti ẹnikan ninu nyin si wi fun wọn pe, Ẹ mã lọ li alafia, ki ara nyin ki o maṣe tutu, ki ẹ si yó; ṣugbọn ẹ kò fi nkan wọnni ti ara nfẹ fun wọn; ère kili o jẹ?

¹⁶ And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what doth it profit?

¹⁷ Bẹ̃ si ni igbagbọ́, bi kò ba ni iṣẹ, o kú ninu ara.

¹⁷ Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.

¹⁸ Ṣugbọn ẹnikan le wipe, Iwọ ni igbagbọ́, emi si ni iṣẹ: fi igbagbọ́ rẹ hàn mi li aisi iṣẹ, emi o si fi igbagbọ́ mi hàn ọ nipa iṣẹ mi.

¹⁸ Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works.

¹⁹ Iwọ gbagbọ́ pe Ọlọrun kan ni mbẹ; o dara: awọn ẹmí èṣu pẹlu gbagbọ́, nwọn si warìri.

¹⁹ Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.

²⁰ Ṣugbọn, iwọ alaimoye enia, iwọ ha fẹ mọ̀ pe, igbagbọ́ li aisi iṣẹ asan ni?

²⁰ But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?

²¹ Kì ha iṣe nipa iṣẹ li a dá Abrahamu baba wa lare, nigbati o fi Isaaki ọmọ rẹ̀ rubọ lori pẹpẹ?

²¹ Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar?

²² Iwọ ri pe igbagbọ́ bá iṣẹ rẹ̀ rìn, ati pe nipa iṣẹ li a sọ igbagbọ́ di pipé.

²² Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect?

²³ Iwe-mimọ́ si ṣẹ ti o wipe, Abrahamu gbà Ọlọrun gbọ́, a si kà a si ododo fun u: a si pè e li ọ̀rẹ́ Ọlọrun.

²³ And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God.

²⁴ Njẹ ẹnyin ri pe nipa iṣẹ li a ndá enia lare, kì iṣe nipa igbagbọ́ nikan.

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

²⁵ Gẹgẹ bẹ̃ pẹlu kí a ha dá Rahabu panṣaga lare nipa iṣẹ, nigbati o gbà awọn onṣẹ, ti o si rán wọn jade gba ọ̀na miran?

²⁵ Likewise also was not Rahab the harlot justified by works, when she had received the messengers, and had sent them out another way?

²⁶ Nitori bi ara li aisi ẹmí ti jẹ́ okú, bẹ̃ gẹgẹ pẹlu ni igbagbọ́ li aisi iṣẹ jẹ́ okú.

²⁶ For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.
