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.
James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes who are in the dispersion: Health.
2 Achalongo achinjangu, nnyiwone ili yakusengwa pe, pankukola masauko gagali gose.
My brethren, count it all joy, when you fall into diverse trials;
3 Nchimanyililaga kuti kulinjikwa kwa chikulupi chenu kukunnyichisya upililiu.
knowing that the proof of your faith works out 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.
Let patience, therefore, have a perfect effect, that you may be perfect and complete, deficient in 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 be deficient in wisdom, let him ask it of God: who gives to all men liberally, and upbraids not, and it shall be given to 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 ask in faith, being not at all irresolute: for he who is irresolute, is like a wave of the sea, driven by the wind and tossed.
7 Mundu jwati yeleyo akaganisya kuti chapochele chachili chose kutyochela kwa Ambuje.
Now let not that man think, that he shall receive anything from the Lord.
8 Jwelejo ali mundu jwagalaukagalauka ni ngakukombola kulamula chindu chakupanganya.
A man of two minds, is unstable in all his ways.
9 Nambo nlongo jwakulupilile jwaali jwakulaga akusachilwa asengwe, katema Akunnungu pakunkwesya.
Moreover, let the brother of humble condition glory in his exaltation,
10 Nlongo jwakulupilile jwaali jwachipanje akusachilwa asengwe, katema Akunnungu paakuntulusya. Pakuŵa jwachipanje chasoŵe mpela uluŵa lwa mwikonde.
and the rich in his humiliation; for as a garden flower he shall pass 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 the sun rises with a burning heat, and withers the herb, and its flower falls down, and the beauty of its appearance perishes: so also shall the rich man fade in his ways.
12 Jwana upile mundu jwakupililila nkulinjikwa, pakuŵa amalaga kupunda kulinjikwa chapegwe chindu mpela singwa ja umi, Ambuje jiŵalanjile ŵakwanonyela.
Blessed is the man who sustains trial, for becoming an approved person, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord has promised to them who love him.
13 Mundu alinjikwaga akajila, “Ngulinjikwa ni Akunnungu.” Pakuŵa Akunnungu ngakunlinga mundu kwa kutenda yangalumbana, nombe Akunnungu ngakulinjikwa kwa kutendelwa yangalumbana.
Let no one who is tempted say, Certainly I am tempted by God: for God is incapable of being tempted by evil things, and he tempts no one.
14 Nambo mundu akulinjikwa pakukwekwelemwa ni kutanjikwa ni tama jakwe atende yangalumbana.
But every one is tempted, when he is drawn away, and enticed by his own lust:
15 Mwajilechelelaga tama jintawale jikwichisya sambi ni sambi syapundaga sikwichisya chiwa.
then lust having conceived, brings forth sin, and sin, being perfected, brings forth death.
16 Achalongo achinjangu ŵakunonyelwa nkalambuchikwa.
Be not deceived, my beloved brethren;
17 Kila ntuuka wambone ni waumalilwe ukutyochela kwinani kwa Atati Akunnungu ŵaŵagumbile lulanga, jwangakugalaukagalauka, nombewo ngakulosya chimanyisyo chachili chose kuti chagalauche.
every good gift, and every perfect gift, is from above, descended from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variableness, nor 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 own will, he begot us by the word of truth, that we should be a kind of fruits of his creatures.
19 Achalongo achinjangu ŵakunonyelwa, mmanyilile chindu chi, yakuti mundu jwalijose aŵe jwachitema kupilikana, nambo ngasaŵa jwachitema kuŵecheta namose kutumbila.
Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath;
20 Pakuŵa ŵandu ŵaali ni lutumbilo ngakukombola kupanganya yambone paujo pa Akunnungu.
for the wrath of man works not out the righteousness of God.
21 Kwayele, nneche masyoŵelo genu gangalumbana ni ipanganyo yenu yangalumbana. Mpochele kwa kulitulusya liloŵe lyalipandikwe mmitima jenu lyalikukombola kunkulupusya.
Wherefore, putting away all filthiness, and overflowing of maliciousness, embrace with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls.
22 Nkalilambusya mwachinsyene, nambo mmeje ŵandu ŵakupanganyichisya masengo Liloŵe lya Akunnungu, ngaŵa ŵakupilikanila pe.
And be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves by false reasoning.
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 one be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like a man who views his natural face in a mirror;
24 Ni paakumalisya kulilola yatite ni kutyoka, kwakamo akuliŵalila yatite pakuŵa.
for he who looks at himself and goes away, and immediately forgets what kind of person 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 he who looks narrowly into the perfect law of liberty, and perseveres, not becoming a forgetful hearer, but a doer of its work, shall, in so doing, be happy.
26 Mundu aganisyaga kuti akwajogopa ni kwapopelela Akunnungu, nambo ngakusiŵila lulimi lwakwe, kwapopelela kwao Akunnungu nganikukola mate ni akulilambusya nsyene.
If any one among you think to be religious, who bridles not his tongue, but deceives his own heart, the religion of this person is vain.
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 undefiled, with God, even the Father, is this: To take care of orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep one's self unspotted from the world.
