James 1
1 James, bondman of God and of [the] Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which [are] in the dispersion, greeting.
Nne Yakobho nili ntumwa jwa a Nnungu na jwa Bhakulungwa a Yeshu Kilishitu ngunakunnjandishilanga mmandunji bha makabhila likumi limo na gabhili mpwilinganishilenje nshilambolyo, shalamu jenunji.
2 Count it all joy, my brethren, when ye fall into various temptations,
Mmaakulupalilanga ajangunji nng'angalalanjepe punkulingwanga kwa mboteko ya kila namuna,
3 knowing that the proving of your faith works endurance.
pabha mmumanyinji kuti kulingwa kwa ngulupai jenunji kunapeleshela kwiipililila.
4 But let endurance have [its] perfect work, that ye may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.
Kwiipililila kwenunji kumpanganje kushimilika na kutimilila nngulupai gwangali tubhilwa shindu shoshowe.
5 But if any one of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all freely and reproaches not, and it shall be given to him:
Ikabheje mundu munkumbi gwenunji atubhilwaga na ng'aniyo ya lunda, abhajuje a Nnungu bhakwaapanganga bhandu bhowe kwa ntima gwa ntuka wala bhakaatumbala, najwalakwe shaapegwe.
6 but let him ask in faith, nothing doubting. For he that doubts is like a wave of the sea driven by the wind and tossed about;
Ikabheje ajuje alikulupalila gwangali lipamba lya jangulwa, pabha akwete lipamba anabha mbuti libhimbili lya mashi ga bhaali linokolwa na mbungo akuno na kukuno.
7 for let not that man think that he shall receive anything from the Lord;
Pabha mundu jwa nneyo anakulupalile kuti shaapate shindu koposhela kwa Bhakulungwa.
8 [he is] a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.
Mundu jwa ng'aniyo ibhili akakamula shindu shimo muitendi yakwe yowe.
9 But let the brother of low degree glory in his elevation,
Bhaakulupalilanga bhaalaga, bhaangalalanje pabha a Nnungu bhanakwaishimunji bhowe.
10 and the rich in his humiliation, because as [the] grass's flower he will pass away.
Na matajili bhaangalalanje pubhatuluywanga na a Nnungu, pabha nabhalabhonji shibhaobhanje malinga lilubha lya mukonde shilijumula niobha.
11 For the sun has risen with its burning heat, and has withered the grass, and its flower has fallen, and the comeliness of its look has perished: thus the rich also shall wither in his goings.
Pabha lyubha libhalaga, linajumuya maamba na malubha gakwe ganawa na konja kwakwe kowe kunapela. Nneyo peyo na nkali mundu ashulushilwe indu shaapele nniengo lyakwe pemo.
12 Blessed [is the] man who endures temptation; for, having been proved, he shall receive the crown of life, which He has promised to them that love him.
Mbaya mundu akwiiluma ntima alilingwa, pabha akombolaga shaapegwe upo ya gumi shibhalajile Bhakulungwa ku bhandu bhakwaapinganga.
13 Let no man, being tempted, say, I am tempted of God. For God cannot be tempted by evil things, and himself tempts no one.
Monaga mundu alingwaga, analugule kuti, “A Nnungu bhananinga.” Pabha a Nnungu bhakaalingwa na ilebho, na bhenebho bhakakunninga mundu.
14 But every one is tempted, drawn away, and enticed by his own lust;
Ikabheje kila mundu analingwa, kwa nonyelwa na tembwa na ilokoli yakwe nnyene.
15 then lust, having conceived, gives birth to sin; but sin fully completed brings forth death.
Kwa nneyo shilokoli shipundaga shinabheleka shambi na shambi shikomalaga shinabheleka shiwo.
16 Do not err, my beloved brethren.
Bhaakulupalilanga ajangunji nkupingwanga, nnatembwanje!
17 Every good gift and every perfect gift comes down from above, from the Father of lights, with whom is no variation nor shadow of turning.
Kila shammbone shinkupegwa, na shoshowe shitimilile, kushikoposhela kunnungu, kwa Atati bhapeleshe shilangaya. Bhenebho bhakatendebhuka, numbe bhangali nkubho gwa tendebhukatendebhuka.
18 According to his own will begat he us by the word of truth, that we should be a certain first-fruits of his creatures.
Kwa pinga kwabho bhayeneuwe, nigubhatubhishile nndamo ja ambi kwa lilobhe lyabho lya kweli, nkupinga tubhe nnimbu gwa indu yabho ipengenywe.
19 So that, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath;
Bhaakulupalilanga ajangunji bhungumpinganga, nngamanyanje gegano. Bhai mundu abhe jwa minda kupilikanishiya na nngabha jwa minda kubheleketa na anabhe jwa tumbala shangu.
20 for man's wrath does not work God's righteousness.
Pabha mundu akwete nnjimwa, nngakombola kwaanonyeya a Nnungu.
21 Wherefore, laying aside all filthiness and abounding of wickedness, accept with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls.
Kwa nneyo mwiilekanje kwa taliya indu yowe ya nyata na itendi yangali ya mmbone, mposhelanje lilobhe libhishilwe mmitima jenunji, likombola kuntapulanga mitima jenunji.
22 But be ye doers of [the] word and not hearers only, beguiling yourselves.
Ikabheje ntendelanje liengo malobhe ga Nnungu na nngabha kupilikanilape, akuno nnikwiitembanga mmitima jenunji.
23 For if any man be a hearer of [the] word and not a doer, he is like to a man considering his natural face in a mirror:
Pabha mundu apilikana lilobhe gwangali tendela liengo, jwenejo pabha mbuti mundu akwiilola ku meyo kwake nshiyoo.
24 for he has considered himself and is gone away, and straightway he has forgotten what he was like.
Pabha ailolaga nijabhula, shangupe analibhala shikuli kumeyo kwakwe.
25 But he that fixes his view on [the] perfect law, that of liberty, and abides in [it], being not a forgetful hearer but a doer of [the] work, he shall be blessed in his doing.
Ikabheje mundu akujilola ukoto shalia jikamilishe, jikwaapanganga bhandunji ungwana nikujikagulila gwangali kulibhala shapilikene na tenda malinga shiikupinjikwa, bhai jwenejo itendi yakwe shiipate mboka ya a Nnungu.
26 If any one think himself to be religious, not bridling his tongue, but deceiving his heart, this man's religion is vain.
Ibhaga mundu aiganishiyaga kuti anakagulila dini, ikabheje akakombola kuluibhilila lulimi lwakwe ukoto, jwene mundujo dini jakwe jikapwaa.
27 Pure and undefiled religion before God and the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, to keep oneself unspotted from the world.
Mundu akwete dini ja mmbone jibhoneka jangali ya nyata kwa a Tati a Nnungu ni ajuno, akwaajangutilanga bhanabhalekwa na bhashitenga nshilaje shabhonji na akwiiepuya na ya nyata ya pa shilambolyo pano.
