James 1
1 James, a servant of God, and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes that are in the dispersion, greeting.
Nene Yakobo, mtumisi wa Chapanga na wa BAMBU Yesu Kilisitu, vikivayandikila nyenye vandu voha va Chapanga, mwemudandasiki pamulima! Nikuvajambusa!
2 My brethren, count it all joy, when you fall into manifold trials,
Valongo vangu, muvya na luheku pemwing'aiswa kwa kila njila,
3 knowing that the trial of your faith produces patience.
muni mmanyili kuvya kulingiwa kwa sadika yinu yati kuvapela usindimala.
4 But let patience have its work perfected, that you may be perfect and faultless, wanting in nothing.
Mvya na uchakaka kuvya usindimala winu wihenga lihengu mugati yinu pamwishu, muni mkangala na kuvya ngati Chapanga cheigana muvyai, changali kupungukiwa chindu chochoha.
5 Now, if any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally, and upbraids not; and it shall be given him.
Nambu ngati mmonga winu apungukiwi luhala, hinu iganikiwa amuyupa Chapanga, muni Chapanga akuvapela voha kwa umahele na kwa mtima wabwina.
6 But let him ask in faith, doubting not: for he that doubts, is like a wave of the sea, driven by the wind, and tossed.
Nambu iganikiwa kuyupa kwa sadika changali mtahu. Mundu mweavi na mtahu ndi ngati luyuga lwa nyanja gegikang'wa na kutagwa na chimbungululu.
7 For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing from the Lord.
Muni mundu ngati mwenuyo akotoka kuhuvalila kuvya yati ipokela chochoa kuhuma kwa BAMBU.
8 A double-minded man is unstable in all his ways.
Mundu mweavi na mtahu na mweavi na maholo gavili kwa lukumbi lumonga mwangahotola kuhamula cha kuhenga pa goha geihenga.
9 Let the brother that is in a lowly condition, glory in his exaltation:
Vandu vevakumsadika Kilisitu vevavi vangangu viganikiwa kuheka pala Chapanga peakumkweha,
10 but he that is rich, in his humiliation; because as the flower of the grass he shall pass away.
vandu vana vindu vyamahele vevakumsadika yikumgana kuheka peihuluswa na Chapanga. Muni mundu mweavi na vindu vyamahele yati iwuka na kuyaga ngati manyahi ga mdahi.
11 For the sun rises with its burning heat, and withers the grass, and its flower falls, and the beauty of its form perishes. So, also, shall the rich man fade away in his ways.
Lilanga lihumila na kuganyala mahamba, na manyahi gaki gigwa na ubwina waki woha uyaga. Mewawa yati yivya kwa mundu mweavi na vindu vyamahele yati ifwa mumahengu gaki.
12 Blessed is the man that endures trial: for, being approved, he shall receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love him.
Amotisiwa mundu yula mweisindimala mukulingiwa, muni akamala kusindimala mukulingiwa, yati ipewa njombi ya wumi ndi Chapanga alagini kuvapela vala veavaganili.
13 Let no one say, when he is tempted, My temptation is from God; for God can not be tempted by evils, and he himself tempts no man.
Ngati mundu ilingiwa akotoka kujova, “Nilingiwa na Chapanga.” Muni mwene Chapanga nakumlinga mundu yoyoha kwa uhakau.
14 But every one is tempted when he is drawn away by his own desire, and is deluded.
Nambu mundu ilingiwa peihutika na kuyonjwa na mnogo waki uhakau.
15 So, then, desire, when it has conceived, brings forth sin; and sin, when it is matured, brings forth death.
Peukiyilekela mnogu uhakau ukutalalila yiveleka kumbudila Chapanga, na kumbudila Chapanga yikakangalayi yileta lifwa.
16 Be not deceived, my beloved brethren;
Valongo vangu mkoto kukongeka!
17 every good gift, and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no change, nor slightest trace of turning.
Kila chipanji chabwina na kila njombi yangapungula yihuma kunani kwa Dadi, Muwumba wa lumuli, ndi angang'anamuka na kawaka ulangisa wowoha wa kung'anamuka.
18 Of his own will, he begot us with the word of truth, in order that we might be, as it were, the first-fruits of his creatures.
Kwa kugana kwaki mwene ating'anamwisi kupitila lilovi la uchakaka, muni tivya ngati mabenu ga kutumbula pagati ya viumbi vyaki.
19 So, then, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath.
Valongo vangu vaganu mkumbuka lijambu lenili! Kila mundu ndi kuyuwanila kanyata na akotoka kuvya myeywa wa kuyangula mewa akotoka kuyoma kanyata.
20 For the wrath of man produces not the righteousness of God.
Muni vandu vevana ligoga nakuhotola kuhenga gabwina palongolo ya Chapanga.
21 Wherefore, laying aside all filthiness, and every excess caused by malice, receive with meekness the ingrafted word, which is able to save your souls.
Hinu ndi mtaga kutali kuyovalela kwinu na matendu goha gahakau, mjivika pahi ya Chapanga na kupokela kwa ungolongondi lilovi lila lelipandiwi mumitima yinu, ndi lelihotola kuvasangula mwavene.
22 But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.
Mkoto kujikonga mwavene kwa kuyuwanila ndu lilovi laki, nambu mulihenga chelijova.
23 For if any one is a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like a man that looks at his natural face in a mirror:
Ndava muni mundu yoyoha mweiyuwanila lilovi nambu nakulihengela lihengu mwenuyo ndi ngati mundu mweakujilola pamihu paki muchilolilo.
24 for he looks at himself, and goes away, and immediately forgets what sort of person he is.
Akujilola mwene, kangi ihamba na kukosiwa cheavi.
25 But he that looks intently into the perfect law of liberty, and remains constant, being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, he shall be blessed in his deed.
Nambu mundu mweilola bwina malagizu yeyivi yabwina neju yeyikuvalekekesa vandu, na mundu mwenuyo akayendelela kukamula malagizu ago, ndi lepi kuyuwana ndu nambu kandahi kukosiwa, nambu akuihengela, mundu mwenuyo yati imotisiwa mukila chindu cheikita.
26 If any one among you seems to be religious, and bridles not his tongue, but deceives his own heart, this man’s religion is vain.
Ngati mundu akajiholalela kuvya akumuyogopa na kumfugamila Chapanga, na kuni akuudilalila lulimi lwaki, hinu kumuyupa kwa Chapanga kwangali mana na akujikonga wamwene.
27 Religion, pure and undefiled before God and the Father, is this: To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.
Njila yabwina na chakaka ya kumuyupa Chapanga ndi yeniyi: Kuvatangatila vakiva na valipwela mu ng'ani kwavi, na kujiyangalila wamwene ukoto kuhakaswa na mulima uwu.
