James 1
1 James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, To the twelve tribes of the Dispersion: Greetings.
Yakobo mutugwa wang'wi Tunda nu mukolo u Yesu Kilisto, kundugu makumi abiile nasapatiye milamu.
2 Consider it pure joy, my brothers, when you encounter trials of many kinds,
Muale kutula ulowa nuwidu, aluna ane, nimukukiila munzago niyakununikunu.
3 because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance.
Meze mulingile kugeng'wa kuuhueli wanyu mepegwaugimya.
4 Allow perseverance to finish its work, so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.
Uleki, ugimya ukondye imilimo akwe, kina mulume kunonelya kisa, singa muuleke kuhielwa lehi.
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.
Kang'we ukole muntu ntogeela anyu utakile upolo, walompe kupuma kung'wi Tunda, nuepumya kuukende hangi singa wikenela kuehi niimulompa hangi wiapeza upolo.
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.
Ingi lompa kuuhueli, uleke kuailya, kunsoko nuiiailya, wipyanigwe nimaingu nenyanza wiholwa nung'wega nukugung'wa kunu nukunu.
7 That man should not expect to receive anything from the Lord.
Kutai umuntu angauyu waleke kusegeela kina ilompi lakwe lukusingeligwa nu mukulu.
8 He is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.
Muntu uyu ukete masigo abiili, singa ukandanie munzila yakwe yehi.
9 The brother in humble circumstances should exult in his high position.
Muluna numuluna inonee kikulya kunsoko akimekakung'wakwe migulia,
10 But the one who is rich should exult in his low position, because he will pass away like a flower of the field.
matungo yayoyayo muluna numugole kukiila kisimia kung'wakwe, kunsoko wikahega anga umpumbulu nuamung'wapo mumugunda nukeile.
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.
Ilyoa litoloka nuupiu wikasonsa nukumisa mimea niampumbulu igweza nuuza wakwe wikuza. Uu uu niantu niagoli izizebipa mumilimo.
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.
Ukembetilwe umuntu numugimia mumageng'wa kunsoko anga wadula ingegwa wikasingilia ngala naupanga, naulagile kuawa niamuloilwe Itunda.
13 When tempted, no one should say, “God is tempting me.” For God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does He tempt anyone.
Muntu wihi shainonee kutambula nukole migeng'wa, ingegwa ile lipumile kung'wi Tunda. Kunsoko Itunda shanga wigeng'wa nimabe, ni Tunda ung'wenso shawimugema wihi.
14 But each one is tempted when by his own evil desires he is lured away and enticed.
Kila muntu wigeng'wa ninsulakwe nimupepelya nukumuluta kupumila kuli.
15 Then after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death.
Papo anga insula amilandu ikenke iimbi, umulandu wituga sunga anga umulandu anga wakonda lukukulu wihiela muusha.
16 Do not be deceived, my beloved brothers.
Aluna ane alowa lekikikongi.
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.
Kela izawadi niiza hange kela izawadi nikondanie kupuma kilunde, isima pehi kupuma kung'wa kung'wa Tata nuawelu, kwee shawikailika anga umulule nuipeloka.
18 He chose to give us birth through the word of truth, that we would be a kind of firstfruits of His creation.
Itunda ausague kuupa use upanga kulukani la tai, kuhume kutula anga kiang'wandyo kuutugwa muintu yakwe.
19 My beloved brothers, understand this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to anger,
Mulengile ite aluna ane alowa. Kela ung'wao yemunonee watule mupepelyi kija, waleke kukaya kuligitia nukutaka.
20 for man’s anger does not bring about the righteousness that God desires.
Kunsoko utaki waantu shangaukituma itai ang'wi Tunda.
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.
Kuitegwa iki kule impaala yamilandu nuubi wehinuukole kila upande lusingilyi kwa kusima ulukani nulutemewe mukateanyu uhumi kuuguna inkolo yanyu.
22 Be doers of the word, and not hearers only. Otherwise, you are deceiving yourselves.
Lugombi ulukani muleke ukija du, mukikongela munkolo yangu unyenye.
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,
Kunsoko wehi nukija, wahite kulitumila umilimo wihanganga umuntu nuwigoza uusu wakwe uwenso mukioo.
24 and after observing himself goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like.
Wegema uusu wakwe, wekalongola matungo makupe wakiwaa neimpyani.
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.
Inge umuntu uyu nuigoza kikendegeela milago nilikami nseigwe, ilago lawidesi, nukulongoleka kugomba, singa kunsoka noanso miji nuewa, umuntu nuanso ukukembetwa nukituma.
26 If anyone considers himself religious and yet does not bridle his tongue, he deceives his heart and his religion is worthless.
Anga umuntu wihi wakusige ung'wenso kuite muntu wikumbiko. Hangi shuzepeeye ululime lakwe wikongela inkolo akwe nikumbeko lakwe nikanda.
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.
Ikumbiko niza nigila uubee ntongela ang'wi Tunda witu nu Tata ingi sile. Kuaailya ialekwa nao niashewe niagoha ao mulwago lao, nukisunga ienso nuube wihi.
