Yakobo 1
1 Une che Yakobo, jwakutumichila jwa Akunnungu ni jwa Ambuje Che Yesu Kilisito, ngunnembela mwanya ŵandu ŵa Akunnungu wose ŵampwilingene ku chilambo kose, ngunkomasya.
Iames a seruant of God, and of the Lord Iesus Christ, to the twelue Tribes, which are scattered abroade, salutation.
2 Achalongo achinjangu, nnyiwone ili yakusengwa pe, pankukola masauko gagali gose.
My brethren, count it exceeding ioy, when ye fall into diuers tentations,
3 Nchimanyililaga kuti kulinjikwa kwa chikulupi chenu kukunnyichisya upililiu.
Knowing that ye trying of your faith bringeth forth patience,
4 Nkole usyene wakuti kupililila kwenu kukupanganya masengo mu nkati mwenu mpaka kumbesi, kuti nkule ni kuŵa ŵamalilwe mpela yakuti pakusaka Akunnungu, pangapunguchilwa ni chindu chachili chose.
And let patience haue her perfect worke, that ye may be perfect and entier, lacking nothing.
5 Nambo mundu jwalijose mu mpingo wenu, lwansoŵaga lunda ŵapopelele Akunnungu ŵakwapa ŵandu wose mwamujinji ni kwa ntima wambone nombejo chachipegwa.
If any of you lacke wisedome, let him aske of God, which giueth to all men liberally, and reprocheth no man, and it shalbe giuen him.
6 Nambo apopeleje ali akwete chikulupi pangali lipamba lyalili lyose. Pakuŵa mundu jwali ni lipamba ali mpela litumbela lya mu bahali lyalikujigalikwa ni mbungo ni kwauswa akuno ni akunokuno.
But let him aske in faith, and wauer not: for hee that wauereth, is like a waue of the sea, tost of the winde, and caried away.
7 Mundu jwati yeleyo akaganisya kuti chapochele chachili chose kutyochela kwa Ambuje.
Neither let that man thinke that hee shall receiue any thing of the Lord.
8 Jwelejo ali mundu jwagalaukagalauka ni ngakukombola kulamula chindu chakupanganya.
A double minded man is vnstable in all his waies.
9 Nambo nlongo jwakulupilile jwaali jwakulaga akusachilwa asengwe, katema Akunnungu pakunkwesya.
Let the brother of lowe degree reioyce in that he is exalted:
10 Nlongo jwakulupilile jwaali jwachipanje akusachilwa asengwe, katema Akunnungu paakuntulusya. Pakuŵa jwachipanje chasoŵe mpela uluŵa lwa mwikonde.
Againe hee that is rich, in that hee is made lowe: for as the flower of the grasse, shall he vanish away.
11 Lyuŵa likukopochela ni kuŵala nnope ni kuumusya masamba, uluŵa wakwe ukugwa ni usalale wakwe ukusoŵa. Iyoyo peyo jwachipanje nombejo chawe mmasengo gakwe.
For as when the sunne riseth with heate, then the grasse withereth, and his flower falleth away, and the goodly shape of it perisheth: euen so shall the rich man wither away in all his waies.
12 Jwana upile mundu jwakupililila nkulinjikwa, pakuŵa amalaga kupunda kulinjikwa chapegwe chindu mpela singwa ja umi, Ambuje jiŵalanjile ŵakwanonyela.
Blessed is ye man, that endureth tentation: for when he is tried, hee shall receiue the crowne of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that loue him.
13 Mundu alinjikwaga akajila, “Ngulinjikwa ni Akunnungu.” Pakuŵa Akunnungu ngakunlinga mundu kwa kutenda yangalumbana, nombe Akunnungu ngakulinjikwa kwa kutendelwa yangalumbana.
Let no man say when hee is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God can not bee tempted with euill, neither tempteth he any man.
14 Nambo mundu akulinjikwa pakukwekwelemwa ni kutanjikwa ni tama jakwe atende yangalumbana.
But euery man is tempted, when hee is drawen away by his owne concupiscence, and is entised.
15 Mwajilechelelaga tama jintawale jikwichisya sambi ni sambi syapundaga sikwichisya chiwa.
Then when lust hath conceiued, it bringeth foorth sinne, and sinne when it is finished, bringeth foorth death.
16 Achalongo achinjangu ŵakunonyelwa nkalambuchikwa.
Erre not, my deare brethren.
17 Kila ntuuka wambone ni waumalilwe ukutyochela kwinani kwa Atati Akunnungu ŵaŵagumbile lulanga, jwangakugalaukagalauka, nombewo ngakulosya chimanyisyo chachili chose kuti chagalauche.
Euery good giuing, and euery perfect gift is from aboue, and commeth downe from the Father of lights, with whome is no variablenes, neither shadow of turning.
18 Kwa unonyelo wakwe nsyene ŵatuŵeleche kwa litala lya liloŵe lya usyene, kuti tuŵeje mpela milimbu mu yepanganyikwe yakwe yose.
Of his owne will begate hee vs with the woorde of trueth, that we shoulde be as the first fruites of his creatures.
19 Achalongo achinjangu ŵakunonyelwa, mmanyilile chindu chi, yakuti mundu jwalijose aŵe jwachitema kupilikana, nambo ngasaŵa jwachitema kuŵecheta namose kutumbila.
Wherefore my deare brethren, let euery man be swift to heare, slowe to speake, and slowe to wrath.
20 Pakuŵa ŵandu ŵaali ni lutumbilo ngakukombola kupanganya yambone paujo pa Akunnungu.
For the wrath of man doeth not accomplish the righteousnesse of God.
21 Kwayele, nneche masyoŵelo genu gangalumbana ni ipanganyo yenu yangalumbana. Mpochele kwa kulitulusya liloŵe lyalipandikwe mmitima jenu lyalikukombola kunkulupusya.
Wherefore lay apart all filthinesse, and superfluitie of maliciousnesse, and receiue with meekenes the word that is graffed in you, which is able to saue your soules.
22 Nkalilambusya mwachinsyene, nambo mmeje ŵandu ŵakupanganyichisya masengo Liloŵe lya Akunnungu, ngaŵa ŵakupilikanila pe.
And be ye doers of the word, and not hearers onely, deceiuing your owne selues.
23 Pakuŵa naga mundu ali jwakupilikanila pe Liloŵe lya Akunnungu nombe ngaŵa ŵakulipanganya lyalipikene, chalandane ni mundu jwakulilola ku meeso mu lindala.
For if any heare the woorde, and doe it not, he is like vnto a man, that beholdeth his naturall face in a glasse.
24 Ni paakumalisya kulilola yatite ni kutyoka, kwakamo akuliŵalila yatite pakuŵa.
For when he hath considered himselfe, hee goeth his way, and forgetteth immediately what maner of one he was.
25 Nambo mundu jwakugalolechesya uchenene malajisyo ga usyene gagakwalechelesya ŵandu, ni akwendelechela kugapanganyichisya masengo, pangapikanila pe ni kugaliŵalila, jwele mundu jo chapegwe upile mu indu yose yakuipanganya.
But who so looketh in the perfect Lawe of libertie, and continueth therein, hee not being a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the woorke, shalbe blessed in his deede.
26 Mundu aganisyaga kuti akwajogopa ni kwapopelela Akunnungu, nambo ngakusiŵila lulimi lwakwe, kwapopelela kwao Akunnungu nganikukola mate ni akulilambusya nsyene.
If any man amog you seeme religious, and refraineth not his tongue, but deceiueth his owne heart, this mans religion is vaine.
27 Litala lya kwapopelela Akunnungu lyalili lyambone lyangali chileŵo paujo pao lili ali: Kwakamuchisya ŵamalekwa ni ŵawililwe ni achiŵankwawo ni nkalisakasya kwa indu yangalumbana ya pachilambo.
Pure religion and vndefiled before God, euen the Father, is this, to visite the fatherlesse, and widdowes in their aduersitie, and to keepe himselfe vnspotted of the world.
