James 1
1 James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, To the twelve tribes of the Dispersion: Greetings.
Nene Yakobo, mtumisi wa Chapanga na wa BAMBU Yesu Kilisitu, vikivayandikila nyenye vandu voha va Chapanga, mwemudandasiki pamulima! Nikuvajambusa!
2 Consider it pure joy, my brothers, when you encounter trials of many kinds,
Valongo vangu, muvya na luheku pemwing'aiswa kwa kila njila,
3 because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance.
muni mmanyili kuvya kulingiwa kwa sadika yinu yati kuvapela usindimala.
4 Allow perseverance to finish its work, so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.
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 lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him.
Nambu ngati mmonga winu apungukiwi luhala, hinu iganikiwa amuyupa Chapanga, muni Chapanga akuvapela voha kwa umahele na kwa mtima wabwina.
6 But he must ask in faith, without doubting, because he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind.
Nambu iganikiwa kuyupa kwa sadika changali mtahu. Mundu mweavi na mtahu ndi ngati luyuga lwa nyanja gegikang'wa na kutagwa na chimbungululu.
7 That man should not expect to receive anything from the Lord.
Muni mundu ngati mwenuyo akotoka kuhuvalila kuvya yati ipokela chochoa kuhuma kwa BAMBU.
8 He is a double-minded man, 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 The brother in humble circumstances should exult in his high position.
Vandu vevakumsadika Kilisitu vevavi vangangu viganikiwa kuheka pala Chapanga peakumkweha,
10 But the one who is rich should exult in his low position, because he will pass away like a flower of the field.
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 scorching heat and withers the plant; its flower falls and its beauty is lost. So too, the rich man will fade away in the midst of his pursuits.
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 who perseveres under trial, because when he has stood the test, he will receive the crown of life that God 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 When tempted, no one should say, “God is tempting me.” For God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does He tempt anyone.
Ngati mundu ilingiwa akotoka kujova, “Nilingiwa na Chapanga.” Muni mwene Chapanga nakumlinga mundu yoyoha kwa uhakau.
14 But each one is tempted when by his own evil desires he is lured away and enticed.
Nambu mundu ilingiwa peihutika na kuyonjwa na mnogo waki uhakau.
15 Then after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death.
Peukiyilekela mnogu uhakau ukutalalila yiveleka kumbudila Chapanga, na kumbudila Chapanga yikakangalayi yileta lifwa.
16 Do not be deceived, my beloved brothers.
Valongo vangu mkoto kukongeka!
17 Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, with whom there is no change or shifting shadow.
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 He chose to give us birth through the word of truth, that we would be a kind of firstfruits of His creation.
Kwa kugana kwaki mwene ating'anamwisi kupitila lilovi la uchakaka, muni tivya ngati mabenu ga kutumbula pagati ya viumbi vyaki.
19 My beloved brothers, understand this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to anger,
Valongo vangu vaganu mkumbuka lijambu lenili! Kila mundu ndi kuyuwanila kanyata na akotoka kuvya myeywa wa kuyangula mewa akotoka kuyoma kanyata.
20 for man’s anger does not bring about the righteousness that God desires.
Muni vandu vevana ligoga nakuhotola kuhenga gabwina palongolo ya Chapanga.
21 Therefore, get rid of all moral filth and every expression of evil, and humbly accept the word planted in you, which can 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 Be doers of the word, and not hearers only. Otherwise, you are deceiving yourselves.
Mkoto kujikonga mwavene kwa kuyuwanila ndu lilovi laki, nambu mulihenga chelijova.
23 For anyone who hears the word but does not carry it out is like a man who looks at his face in a mirror,
Ndava muni mundu yoyoha mweiyuwanila lilovi nambu nakulihengela lihengu mwenuyo ndi ngati mundu mweakujilola pamihu paki muchilolilo.
24 and after observing himself goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like.
Akujilola mwene, kangi ihamba na kukosiwa cheavi.
25 But the one who looks intently into the perfect law of freedom, and continues to do so—not being a forgetful hearer, but an effective doer—he will be blessed in what he does.
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 anyone considers himself religious and yet does not bridle his tongue, he deceives his heart and his religion is worthless.
Ngati mundu akajiholalela kuvya akumuyogopa na kumfugamila Chapanga, na kuni akuudilalila lulimi lwaki, hinu kumuyupa kwa Chapanga kwangali mana na akujikonga wamwene.
27 Pure and undefiled religion before our God and Father is this: to care for orphans and widows in their distress, and to keep oneself from being polluted by 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.
