James 1
1 James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, sends words of love to the twelve tribes of the Jews living in all parts of the earth.
Yakobo mmanda ba Nnongo ni Ngwana witu Yesu Kristu, kwa makabila komi ni ibele gagatawanyike, salaam.
2 Let it be all joy to you, my brothers, when you undergo tests of every sort;
Mubalange kwamba pulaika muno, alongo bango mwanakamupeta mumatatizo ga kila aina.
3 Because you have the knowledge that the testing of your faith gives you the power of going on in hope;
mutange panga ipalilwa imani yinu ipalae pumiliya.
4 But let this power have its full effect, so that you may be made complete, needing nothing.
Muleke pumilia ili mwikamilishe kasi yake, ili muweze komala kikamilipu, bila pungukiwa ni loloti.
5 But if any man among you is without wisdom, let him make his request to God, who gives freely to all without an unkind word, and it will be given to him.
Lelo mana mundu kati yinu apala hekima ailobe kuoma kwa Nnongo, ywembe piya kwa wakati ni bila benda kwa boti babannoba, na apala kwapeya kwa hekima.
6 Let him make his request in faith, doubting nothing; for he who has doubt in his heart is like the waves of the sea, which are troubled by the driving of the wind.
Lakini mulobe kwa imani, bila shaka, kwa mana ywembe ywabile ni shaka ni kati mawimbi mubahari, tolelwa na upepo notaikuilwa kuno ni kuno.
7 Let it not seem to such a man that he will get anything from the Lord;
Kwa hakika mundu ywoo kana aweze panga apala pokelelwa likowe lyake mboka kwa Ngwana;
8 For there is a division in his mind, and he is uncertain in all his ways.
Mundu yoo ai'na nia ibele, imara kwaa mundela yake yoti.
9 But let the brother of low position be glad that he is lifted up;
Mwalongo maskini apalikwa kwipuna kwa yima kwake kunani,
10 But the man of wealth, that he is made low; because like the flower of the grass he will come to his end.
Muda wowo mwalongo tajiri kwo nyenyekea kwake, kwa mana alwambokeka kati liloba lya mmende lya mung'unda mwapetaa.
11 For when the sun comes up with its burning heat, the grass gets dry and the grace of its form is gone with the falling flower; so the man of wealth comes to nothing in his ways.
Lisoba lilwapita na lyoto liyotinia yumea michee, na lisoba tomboka n goloka kwake waha. Nganyonyo bandu matajiri bapilya muliyengo lyabe.
12 There is a blessing on the man who undergoes testing; because, if he has God's approval, he will be given the crown of life, which the Lord has said he will give to those who have love for him.
Atibarikiwa mundu yolo ywapumilia majaribu, na mwana baada ya shinda jaribu lee, apala pokya taji ya ukoto, yaibile itiahidiwa kwa balo babampindile Nnongo.
13 Let no man say when he is tested, I am tested by God; for it is not possible for God to be tested by evil, and he himself puts no man to such a test:
Mundu ywoywoti apalikwa kwaa baya paajaribiwa, “Jaribu leni liboka kwa Nnongo,” kwa mana Nnongo ajaribiwa kwaa ni ubou, ni Nnongo mwene amjaribu kwaa yeyoti.
14 But every man is tested when he is turned out of the right way by the attraction of his desire.
Kila mundu ujaribiwa ni tamaa yake mbaya yaimshawishi ni kummuta kunanipa.
15 Then when its time comes, desire gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is of full growth, gives birth to death.
Baada ya sambi potwa ndumbo sambi loelekwa, ni yolo sambi komala muno muno, yomokya kwake ni kiwo.
16 Do not be turned from the right way, dear brothers.
mwalongo bango mwapendwa, kana mukongelwe.
17 Every good and true thing is given to us from heaven, coming from the Father of lights, with whom there is no change or any shade made by turning.
Kila zawadi inoyite ni kila zawadi yabile kamilifu iboka kunani, iuluka pae kuoma kwa Tate ba nuru, Habadilika kwaa kamwe kati kiwili mwakibadilika.
18 Of his purpose he gave us being, by his true word, so that we might be, in a sense, the first-fruits of all the things which he had made.
Nnongo atikuchawa kutupeya twenga ukoti pitya Neno lya ukweli, ili tuwese kuba ubelekwi wa kwanza nkati ya iumbe yake.
19 You have knowledge of this, dear brothers. But let every man be quick in hearing, slow in words, slow to get angry;
Mutangite lee, mwalongo bango, Kila yumo apalikwa abe mwepesi wo yowa, nga mwepesi kwaa longela wala kasilika.
20 For the righteousness of God does not come about by the wrath of man.
Kwa mana hasira ya mundu yaweza kwaa kupanga haki ya Nnongo.
21 For this reason, putting away all dirty behaviour and the overweight of evil, take into your souls without pride the word which, being planted there, is able to give you salvation.
kwa nyo mubeke kutalu uchapu wa sambi ni ubaya woti wabile sehemu yoyoti, na kwa nyenyekea mulipoki likowe lyalipendilwe nkati yinu, ambalo libile ni uwezo wokoa roho yinu.
22 But be doers of the word, and not only hearers of it, blinding yourselves with false ideas.
Mulikengame likowe kana muliyowe bai. mwikonga nafsi yinu mwabene.
23 Because if any man is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man looking at his natural face in a glass;
Kwa mana kati yoyoti ywaliyowa likowe bila kulipangya kazi ni sawa ni
24 For after looking at himself he goes away, and in a short time he has no memory of what he was like.
mundu ywailola kuminyo yake halisi mu'kilolo. Aitasimini kuminyo yake, na kuboka na baada ya muda mwipi libalya mwaabile.
25 But he who goes on looking into the true law which makes him free, being not a hearer without memory but a doer putting it into effect, this man will have a blessing on his acts.
Lelo mundu yoo ywailola kwo uangalifu saliya toti, saliya huru no yendelya kuiheshimu, kana iakamwi kwa sababu ywembe ywa mundu wo'sahau, mundu yoo alowa barikiwa mana aipangite.
26 If a man seems to have religion and has no control over his tongue but lets himself be tricked by what is false, this man's religion is of no value.
Mana mundu yeyoti alwawasa mwene panga ni mundu wa dini, lakini awesa kwaa kuutawala lulemi lwake, haukonga mwoyo wake ni dini yake ni yabule.
27 The religion which is holy and free from evil in the eyes of our God and Father is this: to take care of children who have no fathers and of widows who are in trouble, and to keep oneself untouched by the world.
Dini yaibile safi ni iharibike kwaa nnonge ya Nnongo witu ni Tate nga yee: kuasaidia yatima ni ajane mu'mateso yabe, no kuilinda mwene ni ufisadi wa dunia.
