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.
Jacob, a servant of God and of the Lord Yeshua the Messiah, to the twelve tribes which are in the Diaspora: Greetings.
2 Achalongo achinjangu, nnyiwone ili yakusengwa pe, pankukola masauko gagali gose.
Count it all joy, my brothers, when you encounter various trials,
3 Nchimanyililaga kuti kulinjikwa kwa chikulupi chenu kukunnyichisya upililiu.
knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance.
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 endurance have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.
5 Nambo mundu jwalijose mu mpingo wenu, lwansoŵaga lunda ŵapopelele Akunnungu ŵakwapa ŵandu wose mwamujinji ni kwa ntima wambone nombejo chachipegwa.
But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all generously and without finding fault; and it will 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, without any doubting, for the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, driven and tossed by the wind.
7 Mundu jwati yeleyo akaganisya kuti chapochele chachili chose kutyochela kwa Ambuje.
For let that person not think that he will receive anything from the Lord.
8 Jwelejo ali mundu jwagalaukagalauka ni ngakukombola kulamula chindu chakupanganya.
He is a double-minded person, unstable in all his ways.
9 Nambo nlongo jwakulupilile jwaali jwakulaga akusachilwa asengwe, katema Akunnungu pakunkwesya.
But let the brother in humble circumstances glory in his high position;
10 Nlongo jwakulupilile jwaali jwachipanje akusachilwa asengwe, katema Akunnungu paakuntulusya. Pakuŵa jwachipanje chasoŵe mpela uluŵa lwa mwikonde.
and the rich, in that he is made humble, because like the flower in the grass, he will 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 arises with the scorching wind, and withers the grass, and the flower in it falls, and the beauty of its appearance perishes. So also will the rich person fade away in his pursuits.
12 Jwana upile mundu jwakupililila nkulinjikwa, pakuŵa amalaga kupunda kulinjikwa chapegwe chindu mpela singwa ja umi, Ambuje jiŵalanjile ŵakwanonyela.
Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial, for when he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life, which he promised to those 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 say when he is tempted, "I am tempted by God," for God cannot be tempted by evil, and he himself tempts no one.
14 Nambo mundu akulinjikwa pakukwekwelemwa ni kutanjikwa ni tama jakwe atende yangalumbana.
But each one is tempted, when he is drawn away by his own lust, and enticed.
15 Mwajilechelelaga tama jintawale jikwichisya sambi ni sambi syapundaga sikwichisya chiwa.
Then the lust, when it has conceived, bears sin; and the sin, when it is full grown, brings forth death.
16 Achalongo achinjangu ŵakunonyelwa nkalambuchikwa.
Do not be deceived, my beloved brothers.
17 Kila ntuuka wambone ni waumalilwe ukutyochela kwinani kwa Atati Akunnungu ŵaŵagumbile lulanga, jwangakugalaukagalauka, nombewo ngakulosya chimanyisyo chachili chose kuti chagalauche.
All generous giving and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom can be no variation, nor turning shadow.
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 brought us forth by the word of truth, that we should be a kind of first fruits of his creatures.
19 Achalongo achinjangu ŵakunonyelwa, mmanyilile chindu chi, yakuti mundu jwalijose aŵe jwachitema kupilikana, nambo ngasaŵa jwachitema kuŵecheta namose kutumbila.
This you know, my beloved brothers. But let every person be swift to hear, slow to speak, and slow to anger;
20 Pakuŵa ŵandu ŵaali ni lutumbilo ngakukombola kupanganya yambone paujo pa Akunnungu.
for human anger does not produce the righteousness of God.
21 Kwayele, nneche masyoŵelo genu gangalumbana ni ipanganyo yenu yangalumbana. Mpochele kwa kulitulusya liloŵe lyalipandikwe mmitima jenu lyalikukombola kunkulupusya.
Therefore, putting away all filthiness and overflowing of wickedness, receive with humility the implanted word, which is able to save your souls.
22 Nkalilambusya mwachinsyene, nambo mmeje ŵandu ŵakupanganyichisya masengo Liloŵe lya Akunnungu, ngaŵa ŵakupilikanila pe.
But be doers of the word, and not only hearers, deluding your own selves.
23 Pakuŵa naga mundu ali jwakupilikanila pe Liloŵe lya Akunnungu nombe ngaŵa ŵakulipanganya lyalipikene, chalandane ni mundu jwakulilola ku meeso mu lindala.
For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like someone looking at his natural face in a mirror;
24 Ni paakumalisya kulilola yatite ni kutyoka, kwakamo akuliŵalila yatite pakuŵa.
for he sees 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 into the perfect Law of freedom, and continues, not being a hearer who forgets, but a doer of the work, this person will be blessed in what he does.
26 Mundu aganisyaga kuti akwajogopa ni kwapopelela Akunnungu, nambo ngakusiŵila lulimi lwakwe, kwapopelela kwao Akunnungu nganikukola mate ni akulilambusya nsyene.
If anyone thinks himself to be religious while he does not control his tongue, but deceives his heart, this one's religion is worthless.
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 before our God and Father is this: to visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained by the world.
