OET-LV YAC Chapter 1

OET ◄ YAC 1 ► ║ ═ ©

Note that the OET uses ‘Yacob’ for ‘The Letter of Jacob’ (wrongly called ‘James’ in older Bibles).

This OET (very) Literal Version was designed to be used as a view into the original language words, so as to be an aid to understanding the source text for the Readers’ Version, so you won’t get the best understanding from this single viewpoint. This is still an early look into the drafted text of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check the text in advance before using in public.

1 Yakōbos/(Yaˊₐqoⱱ), of_god and of_the_master Yaʸsous/(Yəhōshūˊa) chosen _one /messiah, twelve, a_slave to _the tribes which are in the dispersion:
to _be _greeting.

2 All joy consider it, brothers of _me, whenever trials you _all _may _fall _among various,

3 knowing that the proving of _you _all the faith is _producing endurance.

4 And the endurance work its_perfect let _be _having, in _order _that you _all _may _be perfect and complete, in nothing lacking.

5 But if anyone of _you _all is _lacking of _wisdom, him _let _be _requesting from the one giving, god, to _all generously, and not deriding, and it _will _be _being _given to _him.

6 But him _let _be _requesting in faith, nothing doubting, because/for the one doubting is _like to_a_wave of_the_sea, being _blown and being _tossed.

7 For/Because not let _be _supposing the person that that he _will _be _receiving anything from the master,

8 a_man double-minded, disturbance in all the ways of _him.

9 And let _be _boasting the brother the humble, in the height of _him,

10 and the rich, in the humiliation of _him, because like a_flower of_the_grass he _will _be _passing _away.

11 For/Because rose the sun with its scorching _heat, and withered the grass, and the flower of _it fell _from, and the beauty of _the appearance of _it perished.
Thus also the rich man among the pursuits of _him will _be _being _faded _away.

12 Blessed is the_man who is _enduring trial, because approved having _become, he _will _be _receiving the crown of_ the _life, that he _promised to _the ones loving him.

13 No _one being _tempted let _be _saying, that By god I _am _being _tempted.
For/Because the god untemptable is by _evil, and is _tempting he no _one.

14 But each is _being _tempted by his own lust, being _drawn _away and being _enticed.

15 Thereafter the desire having _conceived is _bearing sin, and the sin having _been _finished _out, is _bringing _forth death.

16 Not be _being _misled, brothers of _me beloved.

17 Every giving good, and every gift perfect from _above is, coming _down from the father of_ the _lights, with whom not there _is variation or of _shifting shadow.

18 Having _been _wished it, he _brought _forth us by_the_message of _truth, in _order that to _be us first-fruit a_certain of _the of _him creatures.

19 Be _having˒_known, brothers of _me beloved.
But let _be every person quick in _order that to _hear, slow in _order that to _speak, slow to anger,

20 for/because the_severe _anger of_a_human, the_righteousness of_god not is _producing.

21 Therefore having _put _away all filthiness and abundance of _evil, in gentleness receive the implanted message, the one being _able to _save the souls of _you _all.

22 And be _becoming doers of_the_message, and not only listeners deluding yourselves.

23 Because if anyone a_listener of_the_message is, and not a_doer, this one is _like to _man observing his face of_ the _existence of _him in a_mirror.

24 For/Because he _observed himself and has _gone _away, and immediately he _forgot what _kind he _was.

25 But the one having _investigated into the_law perfect, the law of_ the _freedom, and having _continued _with it, not a_listener of _forgetful having _become, but a_doer of_the_work, this one blessed in the doing of _him will _be.

26 If anyone is _supposing religious to _be, not bridling the_tongue of _himself, but seducing the_heart of _him, of _this one useless is his religion.

27 Religion pure and undefiled before our god and father this is:
to _be _visiting orphans and widows in the tribulation of _them, spotless himself to _be _keeping from the world.
