James 1
1 James, bondman of God and of [the] Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which [are] in the dispersion, greeting.
Nene Yakobo, mtumisi wa Chapanga na wa BAMBU Yesu Kilisitu, vikivayandikila nyenye vandu voha va Chapanga, mwemudandasiki pamulima! Nikuvajambusa!
2 Count it all joy, my brethren, when ye fall into various temptations,
Valongo vangu, muvya na luheku pemwing'aiswa kwa kila njila,
3 knowing that the proving of your faith works endurance.
muni mmanyili kuvya kulingiwa kwa sadika yinu yati kuvapela usindimala.
4 But let endurance have [its] perfect work, that ye may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.
Mvya na uchakaka kuvya usindimala winu wihenga lihengu mugati yinu pamwishu, muni mkangala na kuvya ngati Chapanga cheigana muvyai, changali kupungukiwa chindu chochoha.
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:
Nambu ngati mmonga winu apungukiwi luhala, hinu iganikiwa amuyupa Chapanga, muni Chapanga akuvapela voha kwa umahele na kwa mtima wabwina.
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;
Nambu iganikiwa kuyupa kwa sadika changali mtahu. Mundu mweavi na mtahu ndi ngati luyuga lwa nyanja gegikang'wa na kutagwa na chimbungululu.
7 for let not that man think that he shall 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 But let the brother of low degree glory in his elevation,
Vandu vevakumsadika Kilisitu vevavi vangangu viganikiwa kuheka pala Chapanga peakumkweha,
10 and the rich in his humiliation, because as [the] grass's flower he will pass away.
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 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.
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 endures temptation; for, having been proved, he shall receive the crown of life, which He has promised to them that love him.
Amotisiwa mundu yula mweisindimala mukulingiwa, muni akamala kusindimala mukulingiwa, yati ipewa njombi ya wumi ndi Chapanga alagini kuvapela vala veavaganili.
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.
Ngati mundu ilingiwa akotoka kujova, “Nilingiwa na Chapanga.” Muni mwene Chapanga nakumlinga mundu yoyoha kwa uhakau.
14 But every one is tempted, drawn away, and enticed by his own lust;
Nambu mundu ilingiwa peihutika na kuyonjwa na mnogo waki uhakau.
15 then lust, having conceived, gives birth to sin; but sin fully completed brings forth death.
Peukiyilekela mnogu uhakau ukutalalila yiveleka kumbudila Chapanga, na kumbudila Chapanga yikakangalayi yileta lifwa.
16 Do not err, my beloved brethren.
Valongo vangu mkoto kukongeka!
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 chipanji chabwina na kila njombi yangapungula yihuma kunani kwa Dadi, Muwumba wa lumuli, ndi angang'anamuka na kawaka ulangisa wowoha wa kung'anamuka.
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 kugana kwaki mwene ating'anamwisi kupitila lilovi la uchakaka, muni tivya ngati mabenu ga kutumbula pagati ya viumbi vyaki.
19 So that, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath;
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 wrath does not work God's righteousness.
Muni vandu vevana ligoga nakuhotola kuhenga gabwina palongolo ya Chapanga.
21 Wherefore, laying aside all filthiness and abounding of wickedness, accept with meekness the implanted word, which is able to 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 But be ye doers of [the] word and not hearers only, beguiling yourselves.
Mkoto kujikonga mwavene kwa kuyuwanila ndu lilovi laki, nambu mulihenga chelijova.
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:
Ndava muni mundu yoyoha mweiyuwanila lilovi nambu nakulihengela lihengu mwenuyo ndi ngati mundu mweakujilola pamihu paki muchilolilo.
24 for he has considered himself and is gone away, and straightway he has forgotten what he was like.
Akujilola mwene, kangi ihamba na kukosiwa cheavi.
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.
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 any one think himself to be religious, not bridling his tongue, but deceiving his heart, this man's religion is vain.
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 God and the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, to keep oneself unspotted from 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.
