James 2
1 My brethren, do not hold the faith of our glorious Lord Jesus Christ, so as to show a partiality for persons.
Vanyalukolo Vango ulwakuva mkumwitika uMutwa ghwitu Yesu kilisite, unyavuvaha vwooni, muvaghanaghe avanhu coming namungasalulaghe.
2 For if there comes into your assembly a man in splendid apparel, and with gold rings on his fingers, and there comes in also a poor man, in mean clothing,
Tuiti ndavule mulukong'ano lwinu ingile umunhu umhofu afwalile ni pete sa sahabu, Kange ingile umunhu unkotofu afwalile amenda ghano ghasakile,
3 and you show regard to him that wears the splendid apparel, and say to him, Sit here, in an honorable place; and you say to the poor man, Do you stand there, or sit here, under my footstool;
pe muntengelele vunofu juno afwalilile muti, “Uve ghukale apa pavunofu”neke mumbule unkotofu jula multi, “uve iima apa,” nambe ghukale pasipasi apa pamaghulu ghango.
4 are you not partial in yourselves? and do you not judge from false principles?
Asi, uluo naluvonia kuuti munsalula avanhu, navu vulamusi vwuinu vulongosivua na masaghe ghiinu mavivi?
5 Hear, my beloved brethren: Has not God chosen the poor of this world, rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which God has promised to those who love him?
Vanyalukolo vango vaghanike, mumlikisie, avasaluile avakotofu ava muiisi, vave vamofu milwitiko na kuva vahasi vava vutwa vuno alyavalaghile vaano vamughanile?
6 But you dishonor the poor man. Do not the rich oppress you, and do they not themselves drag you to the judgment-seats?
Nike umuue mukuvalenapula avakotofu! Asi, avamofu navevano vikuvapumusia umue name pikuvatwala pavuhighi?
7 Do they not themselves revile that honorable name which is called upon you?
Asi, avamofu navevano vikulijova fiivi ilitavua ilinofu ilyajuno umue mukemelelua?
8 If, however, you fulfill the law of highest excellence, according to the scripture, You shall love your neighbor as yourself, you do well.
Kuuluo, nave muvingilila ululaghilo lwa ntwa ndavule lilembilue mumalembe amimikekuuti, “Muvomba vunono.
9 But if you show partiality for persons, you work sin, and are convicted by the law as transgressors.
Looli nave msalula avanhu vamo avakuvaghana muvomba inyivi, muhighue ulwakuva mulivahosi.
10 For whoever shall keep the whole law, and yet fail in one, is an offender against all.
Nave umunhu ivingilila sooni, niike idenya ululaghilo lumo lwene, ujuo iiva adenyile indaaghilo sooni.
11 For he that said, Do not commit adultery, said also, Do not kill. Now, though you do not commit adultery, yet, if you kill, you are a transgresssor of law.
Uwakuva uNguluve juno aviikile uulaghilo luno lwiti, “Ulakukilagha,” kange wejuno alyajovile, “Nungabudaghe.” nave nuvwafuke, Nave ghubuda, ghuuvaghuuva udenyile indaghilo.
12 So speak, and so act, as those who shall be judged by the law of liberty.
Liino mujovaghe na kuvingililandavule vavo valipipi pihighua nu luhighilo luno lukutupeela kuva vaavuke.
13 For he shall have judgment without mercy, who has shown no mercy. Mercy glories over judgment.
Ulwakuva uvuhighi vukwisa kisila lusungu kuvano navaale nulusungu. urusungu luhumila pavuhighi.
14 What profit is there, my brethren, if any one say he has faith, and have not works? Can faith save him?
Kuli vunono Viki, Vanyalukolo vango, nave umuunhu iiti ali nulwitwiko neke naihufia mu maghendele ghaake, ulwitiko lwake luli luvumbulilo luki?
15 If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food,
Asi ulwitiko ndavule uluo ndeponu lukumpoka? Ndavule unyalukolo wakighosi nave wakidala mughaji ghwa menda nambe kyakulia kya jatu,
16 and any of you say to them, Go in peace, be warmed and be filled, and yet give them not the things that are needful for the body, what does this profit them?
pe jumonga mulyumue akavavuule atii, “Lutagha nulutengano, mwotaghe umwoto na kulia vunofu,”niiki namukukuvatanga fino baghilue mu m'bili, uluo luvumbulila kiki?
17 So, also, faith, if it has not works, is dead, being by itself.
Fye lulivuo, ulwitiko lwene, nave naruhufia amaghende amanofu, lufwile.
18 But some one will say, You have faith, and I have works; show me your faith by your works, and I will show you my faith by my works.
Lino umuunhu jumonga ndepoonu iiti, “Ulinulwitiko, najune nilinili namaghendele amanofu.” Unihufie ulwitiko lwako ulusila maghendele, najune nikukuhufia ulwitiko lwango ulunyamaghendele ghango amanofu.
19 You believe that there is one God; you do well: the demons also believe, and tremble.
Vitike kuuti kwale uNguluve jumbo; uli nuvulweli. Nike amapepo ghikwitika vule vule kuno ghitetema nuludwesi.
20 But will you know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?
Asi ghulonda pikagula, uve ghwe munhu ulinjasu, ndavule ulwitiko uluo kisila maghendelelo ghano ghaghanilue?
21 Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he offered his son Isaac on the altar?
Asi nawe nkuulu ghwitu u Abrahamu alyambalile ihaki kumaghendele ghano alyantavuile unswambe u Isaka pakitekelelo?
22 Do you see that faith was the moving principle in his works, and by works his faith was made perfect?
Lino mulolile ulwitiko ulwaa Abraham vule luvombike mumaghendele ghaake, muuluo ulwitiko lwake lukakwilana vwimila amaghendele ghake.
23 And the scripture was fulfilled, which says, Abraham believed God, and it was counted to him for righteousness: and he was called the friend of God.
Uluo uluo lukakwilanisia amalembe amimike Ghana ghiiti, “U Abraham alyamwimike u Nguluve, ulwitiko lweluno lukampelela uNguluve am'balile kuuti mugholofu pa Mason ghake, muuluo uNguluve akantambula uAbrahamu kuuti mumanyaani ghwaake.
24 Do you see that a man is justified by works, and not by faith only?
Lino mulolaghe mulolaghe kuuti umunhu ivalilua kuuva mugholofu vwimila amaghendele ghaake amanofu, nakwekuti vwimila ulwitiko lwene.
25 Likewise, was not Rahab the harlot justified by works, when she had received the messengers, and sent them out another way?
Fyelulyale naju Lahabu umughenda mwalu, alyavalilue kuuva mugholofu vwimila amaghendele ghaake amanofu, pano alyavuupiile avanhu vano valyasung'ilue, akavasoona vakile isila ijinge?
26 For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.
Lino ulwitiko kisila maghendele amanofu, lufwileluuva ndavule umfimba unsila vwuumi.
