James 4
1 From where are wars and fightings among you? Is it not from here: from your pleasures warring in your body-parts?
Ngondo na mipwai munkumbi gwenunji kujikoposhela kwei? Twajilaga muilokoli yenunji ikumbuya ngondo nkati jenunji.
2 Ye desire and do not have, so ye murder. And ye envy and cannot obtain, so ye fight and make war. Ye do not have, because ye do not ask.
Nnapinganga indu inkanakolanga, kwa nneyo nnatumbililanga kubhulaga nnilokolilanga kuipata yene induyo, ikabhe nkakwiipatanga. Nnapwatanga na komana nkupinga mwapokonyolanje yene induyo. Nkapatanga shindu shinkupinganga pabha nkaajuganga shenesho kwa a Nnungu.
3 Ye ask, and do not receive, because ye ask wrongly, so that ye may spend on your pleasures.
Numbe nkali nnjugangaga nkaapatanga, pabha nnajuganga kwa ndumbililo ya nyata nkupinga nkamilishanje ilokoli yenunji ya nyata.
4 Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is hatred of God? Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world becomes an enemy of God.
Mmanganyanji nkakulupalikanga, bhuli nkakumumanyanga kuti kupanga mbwiga na shilambolyo ni kubhika umagongo na a Nnungu? Bhai jojowe apanga mbwiga na shilambolyo anakwiibhika kubha mmagongo jwa a Nnungu.
5 Or think ye that the scripture says vainly, The Spirit that he caused to dwell in us yearns with jealousy?
Eu punkuganishiyanga kuti Majandiko ga Mmbone ganabheleketa unami pugataya kuti, “Mbumu jwa Mmbone jubhammishile a Nnungu atama nkati jetu anakutulokolila kwa kutubhonela lupimililo lwa kaje.
6 But he gives greater grace. Therefore it says, God is opposed to the arrogant, but gives grace to the lowly.
Ikabheje anakutupa mboka ja kaje, malinga Majandiko shigalugula kuti, a Nnungu bhakakwaapinganga bhakwaataukanga na bhakwiikuyanga ikabheje bhakwiitimalikanga bhanakwaapanganga mboka.”
7 Be subordinate therefore to God, but resist the devil and he will flee from you.
Bhai mwaakundanje a Nnungu, munkananje Lishetani penepo shammutukanje.
8 Approach God and he will approach you. Cleanse the hands, ye sinners, and purify the hearts, ye double-minded.
Mwaabhandishilanje a Nnungu na bhalabho shibhammandishilanje mmanganyanji. Nnabhanje makono genunji mmanganyanji nnebhilenje na ntipitiyanje mitima jenunji nkwetenje ng'aniyo ibhili ya pinga kukamula kwa pamo.
9 Be ye sorrowful, and mourn, and weep. Let your laughter be turned into mourning, and your joy into a downcast look.
Nng'inginikanje nkwiipeta kwa ililo na nguto. Kueka kwenunji kutendebhushe nibha kuguta, na kwinonyela kwenunji nibha kuinjika.
10 Be ye made lower in the sight of the Lord, and he will lift you up.
Mwiitimalikanje ku Bhakulungwa, penepo shibhankuyanje.
11 Speak not against each other, brothers. He who speaks against a brother and judges his brother, speaks against law and judges law. But if thou judge law, thou are not a doer of law, but a judge.
Bhaakulupalila ajangunji, nnabheleketananje, akummeleketa nnjakwe eu kunng'ukumula, penepo anakujibheleketa na kujiukumula shalia. Kwa nneyo ujiukumulaga shalia, bhai penepo ni ukakujikunda, ikabhe unabha mundu nkuukumula.
12 There is one lawgiver who is able to save and to destroy, but thou, who are thou who judge the other man?
A Nnungu jikape nibhabhishile shalia, na bhaukumula ni bhobho pebho jikape, bhaakombola kutapula na kutitimiya. Bhai ugwe gani ukunng'ukumula mundu nnjako?
13 Go now, men who say, Today and tomorrow we will go into this city, and will operate one year there, and will engage in trade and will get gain-
Bhai, mpilikanilanje mmanganyanji nkulugulanga kuti, “Lelo eu malabhi shitujende ashila shilambo shila tukatame shaka tukatende upindi nkupinga tupate mbwaiko.”
14 men who know not of the morrow. For what is your life? For it will be a vapor that appears for a little while, and then also vanishes away-
Ikabheje ukakugamanya gapinga koposhela malabhi. Kulama kuli kwei? Pabha mmanganyanji malinga ndambwepe, jiibhoneka malanga gashokope, kungai jilitandanuka.
15 in place of your saying, If the Lord should will, then we will live and do this or that.
Punkupinjikwanga mmeleketanje kuti, “A Nnungu bhapingaga shitulame, nitenda ashino na shishila.”
16 But now ye boast in your arrogance. All such boasting is evil.
Ikabheje nnaino nnakwiiniyanga na kwiipuna, kwiiniya na kwiipuna kwa nneyo, kwangali kwa mmbone.
17 He therefore who knows to do good, and is not doing it, to him it is sin.
Bhai mundu akakushikamula shindu sha mmbone akuno alikushimanya, penepo kuka jwenejo analebha.
