James 4
1 What causes conflicts and quarrels among you? Don’t they come from the passions at war within you?
Ngondo na mipwai munkumbi gwenunji kujikoposhela kwei? Twajilaga muilokoli yenunji ikumbuya ngondo nkati jenunji.
2 You crave what you do not have; you kill and covet, but are unable to obtain it. You quarrel and fight. You do not have, because you 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 And when you do ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, that you may squander it on your pleasures.
Numbe nkali nnjugangaga nkaapatanga, pabha nnajuganga kwa ndumbililo ya nyata nkupinga nkamilishanje ilokoli yenunji ya nyata.
4 You adulteresses! Do you not know that friendship with the world is hostility toward God? Therefore, whoever chooses to be a friend of the world renders himself 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 do you think the Scripture says without reason that the Spirit He caused to dwell in us yearns with envy?
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 us more grace. This is why it says: “God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble.”
Ikabheje anakutupa mboka ja kaje, malinga Majandiko shigalugula kuti, a Nnungu bhakakwaapinganga bhakwaataukanga na bhakwiikuyanga ikabheje bhakwiitimalikanga bhanakwaapanganga mboka.”
7 Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
Bhai mwaakundanje a Nnungu, munkananje Lishetani penepo shammutukanje.
8 Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you 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 Grieve, mourn, and weep. Turn your laughter to mourning, and your joy to gloom.
Nng'inginikanje nkwiipeta kwa ililo na nguto. Kueka kwenunji kutendebhushe nibha kuguta, na kwinonyela kwenunji nibha kuinjika.
10 Humble yourselves before the Lord, and He will exalt you.
Mwiitimalikanje ku Bhakulungwa, penepo shibhankuyanje.
11 Brothers, do not slander one another. Anyone who speaks against his brother or judges him speaks against the law and judges it. And if you judge the law, you are not a practitioner of the law, but a judge of it.
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 only one Lawgiver and Judge, the One who is able to save and destroy. But who are you to judge your neighbor?
A Nnungu jikape nibhabhishile shalia, na bhaukumula ni bhobho pebho jikape, bhaakombola kutapula na kutitimiya. Bhai ugwe gani ukunng'ukumula mundu nnjako?
13 Come now, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go to this or that city, spend a year there, carry on business, and make a profit.”
Bhai, mpilikanilanje mmanganyanji nkulugulanga kuti, “Lelo eu malabhi shitujende ashila shilambo shila tukatame shaka tukatende upindi nkupinga tupate mbwaiko.”
14 You do not even know what will happen tomorrow! What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes.
Ikabheje ukakugamanya gapinga koposhela malabhi. Kulama kuli kwei? Pabha mmanganyanji malinga ndambwepe, jiibhoneka malanga gashokope, kungai jilitandanuka.
15 Instead, you ought to say, “If the Lord is willing, we will live and do this or that.”
Punkupinjikwanga mmeleketanje kuti, “A Nnungu bhapingaga shitulame, nitenda ashino na shishila.”
16 As it is, you boast in your proud intentions. All such boasting is evil.
Ikabheje nnaino nnakwiiniyanga na kwiipuna, kwiiniya na kwiipuna kwa nneyo, kwangali kwa mmbone.
17 Anyone, then, who knows the right thing to do, yet fails to do it, is guilty of sin.
Bhai mundu akakushikamula shindu sha mmbone akuno alikushimanya, penepo kuka jwenejo analebha.
