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 of God and of [the] Lord Jesus Christ a servant To the twelve tribes in the Dispersion Greeting.
2 Achalongo achinjangu, nnyiwone ili yakusengwa pe, pankukola masauko gagali gose.
All joy do esteem [it], brothers of mine, when trials you may fall into various,
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.
And endurance work [its] perfect should have, so that you may be perfect and complete in nothing lacking.
5 Nambo mundu jwalijose mu mpingo wenu, lwansoŵaga lunda ŵapopelele Akunnungu ŵakwapa ŵandu wose mwamujinji ni kwa ntima wambone nombejo chachipegwa.
If now any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask from the [One] giving God to all generously and (not *NK(o)*) 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.
he should ask however in faith nothing doubting; The [one] for doubting he has been likened to a wave of [the] sea being blown by the wind and being tossed by the wind.
7 Mundu jwati yeleyo akaganisya kuti chapochele chachili chose kutyochela kwa Ambuje.
Not for should suppose the man that that he will receive anything from the Lord;
8 Jwelejo ali mundu jwagalaukagalauka ni ngakukombola kulamula chindu chakupanganya.
[He is] a man double-minded unstable in all the ways of him.
9 Nambo nlongo jwakulupilile jwaali jwakulaga akusachilwa asengwe, katema Akunnungu pakunkwesya.
should boast however the brother of low degree in the exaltation of him,
10 Nlongo jwakulupilile jwaali jwachipanje akusachilwa asengwe, katema Akunnungu paakuntulusya. Pakuŵa jwachipanje chasoŵe mpela uluŵa lwa mwikonde.
he who [is] then rich in the humiliation of him because like a flower of 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.
Has risen for the sun with [its] burning heat and withered the grass and the flower of it has fallen and the beauty of the appearance of it has perished; Thus also the rich [man] in the midst of the pursuits of him will fade away.
12 Jwana upile mundu jwakupililila nkulinjikwa, pakuŵa amalaga kupunda kulinjikwa chapegwe chindu mpela singwa ja umi, Ambuje jiŵalanjile ŵakwanonyela.
Blessed [is the] man who endures trial, because approved having been he will receive the crown of life that He has promised (the Lord *K*) to those loving Him.
13 Mundu alinjikwaga akajila, “Ngulinjikwa ni Akunnungu.” Pakuŵa Akunnungu ngakunlinga mundu kwa kutenda yangalumbana, nombe Akunnungu ngakulinjikwa kwa kutendelwa yangalumbana.
No one being tempted should say that By (*k*) God I am being tempted; For God unable to be tempted is by evils, tempts now He Himself no [one];
14 Nambo mundu akulinjikwa pakukwekwelemwa ni kutanjikwa ni tama jakwe atende yangalumbana.
A man however is tempted by the own desire being drawn away and being enticed;
15 Mwajilechelelaga tama jintawale jikwichisya sambi ni sambi syapundaga sikwichisya chiwa.
Then desire having conceived it gives birth to sin, and sin having become fully grown it brings forth death.
16 Achalongo achinjangu ŵakunonyelwa nkalambuchikwa.
Not do be misled, brothers of mine beloved;
17 Kila ntuuka wambone ni waumalilwe ukutyochela kwinani kwa Atati Akunnungu ŵaŵagumbile lulanga, jwangakugalaukagalauka, nombewo ngakulosya chimanyisyo chachili chose kuti chagalauche.
Every act of giving good and every gift perfect from above is coming down from the Father of lights with whom not there is variation or of shifting shadow.
18 Kwa unonyelo wakwe nsyene ŵatuŵeleche kwa litala lya liloŵe lya usyene, kuti tuŵeje mpela milimbu mu yepanganyikwe yakwe yose.
Having willed [it] He brought forth us by [the] word of truth, for to be us firstfruits a certain of His creatures.
19 Achalongo achinjangu ŵakunonyelwa, mmanyilile chindu chi, yakuti mundu jwalijose aŵe jwachitema kupilikana, nambo ngasaŵa jwachitema kuŵecheta namose kutumbila.
(You should know *N(K)O*) brothers of mine beloved; should be (however *no*) every man swift unto to hear, slow unto to speak, slow unto anger.
20 Pakuŵa ŵandu ŵaali ni lutumbilo ngakukombola kupanganya yambone paujo pa Akunnungu.
[the] anger for of man [the] righteousness of God not (works. *N(k)O*)
21 Kwayele, nneche masyoŵelo genu gangalumbana ni ipanganyo yenu yangalumbana. Mpochele kwa kulitulusya liloŵe lyalipandikwe mmitima jenu lyalikukombola kunkulupusya.
Therefore having put aside all filthiness and excess of wickedness in humility do receive the implanted word which is being able to save the souls of you.
22 Nkalilambusya mwachinsyene, nambo mmeje ŵandu ŵakupanganyichisya masengo Liloŵe lya Akunnungu, ngaŵa ŵakupilikanila pe.
do be however doers of [the] word and not only hearers deceiving yourselves.
23 Pakuŵa naga mundu ali jwakupilikanila pe Liloŵe lya Akunnungu nombe ngaŵa ŵakulipanganya lyalipikene, chalandane ni mundu jwakulilola ku meeso mu lindala.
because if anyone a hearer of [the] word is and not a doer, this one has been likened to a man looking at the face the natural of him in a mirror;
24 Ni paakumalisya kulilola yatite ni kutyoka, kwakamo akuliŵalila yatite pakuŵa.
he has viewed for himself and has gone away and immediately he has forgotten what like 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.
The [one] however having looked intently into [the] law perfect that of freedom and having continued in [it], (this *k*) not a hearer forgetful having been but a doer of [the] work — this one blessed in the work to be done by him will be.
26 Mundu aganisyaga kuti akwajogopa ni kwapopelela Akunnungu, nambo ngakusiŵila lulimi lwakwe, kwapopelela kwao Akunnungu nganikukola mate ni akulilambusya nsyene.
If anyone seems religious to be (among you *K*) not bridling [the] tongue (of him *NK(o)*) but deceiving [the] heart (of him, *NK(o)*) of this one worthless [is] the religion.
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.
Religion pure and undefiled before the God and Father this is, to visit orphans and widows in the tribulation of them, unstained oneself to keep from the world.
