James 1
1 James, bondman of God and of [the] Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which [are] in the dispersion, greeting.
Jakobho, muranda waMwari nowaIshe Jesu Kristu, kumarudzi gumi namaviri akapararira pakati pendudzi: Kwaziwai.
2 Count it all joy, my brethren, when ye fall into various temptations,
Hama dzangu, muti mufaro chaiwo, pose pamunosangana nemiedzo mizhinji yemhando dzose,
3 knowing that the proving of your faith works endurance.
nokuti munoziva kuti kuedzwa kwokutenda kwenyu kunobereka kutsungirira.
4 But let endurance have [its] perfect work, that ye may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.
Kutsungirira kunofanira kupedza basa rako kuitira kuti imi mukure uye muve vakakwana, musingashayiwi chinhu.
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:
Kana mumwe wenyu achishayiwa uchenjeri, ngaakumbire kuna Mwari, anopa zvakawanda kuna vose asingatsvaki mhosva, uye achapiwa hake.
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;
Asi paanokumbira, anofanira kutenda asinganyunyuti, nokuti uyo anonyunyuta akaita sefungu regungwa, rinosundwa uye rinomutswa-mutswa nemhepo.
7 for let not that man think that he shall receive anything from the Lord;
Munhu uyu ngaarege kufunga kuti achagamuchira chinhu chipi zvacho kubva kuna She;
8 [he is] a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.
munhu ane mwoyo miviri, anongoshanduka-shanduka mune zvose zvaanoita.
9 But let the brother of low degree glory in his elevation,
Hama iri panzvimbo yokuninipiswa ngaifare muchinzvimbo chayo chokukudzwa.
10 and the rich in his humiliation, because as [the] grass's flower he will pass away.
Asi mupfumi anofanira kufara muchinzvimbo chokuderedzwa kwake, nokuti achapfuura seruva romusango.
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.
Nokuti zuva rinobuda nokupisa kwakanyanya rigoomesa uswa; ruva rahwo rinodonha uye kunaka kwaro kwoparadzwa. Nenzira imwe cheteyo, mupfumi achasvava kunyange achiri kuita basa rake.
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.
Akaropafadzwa munhu anotsunga pakuedzwa, nokuti paanokunda, achapiwa korona youpenyu yakavimbiswa naMwari kuna avo vanomuda.
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.
Pamunenge muchiedzwa, ngakurege kuva nomunhu anoti, “Mwari ari kundiedza.” Nokuti Mwari haagoni kuedzwa nechakaipa, uye haaedzi munhu;
14 But every one is tempted, drawn away, and enticed by his own lust;
asi mumwe nomumwe anoedzwa paanenge achikwevewa nokuchiva kwake kwakaipa uye achinyengerwa.
15 then lust, having conceived, gives birth to sin; but sin fully completed brings forth death.
Ipapo kuchiva kukange kwaumbwa kunobereka chivi; uye chivi, chikange chakura kwazvo, chinobereka rufu.
16 Do not err, my beloved brethren.
Musanyengerwa, hama dzangu dzinodikanwa.
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.
Chipo chose chakanaka uye chakakwana chinobva kumusoro kudenga, chinoburuka chichibva kuna Baba wezviedza zvokudenga, asingashanduki semimvuri inopinduka.
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.
Akasarudza kutibereka kubudikidza neshoko rechokwadi, kuti tive mhando yechibereko chokutanga chezvisikwa zvake.
19 So that, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath;
Hama dzangu dzinodikanwa, cherechedzai izvi: Munhu mumwe nomumwe anofanira kukurumidza kunzwa, kunonoka kutaura nokunonoka kutsamwa,
20 for man's wrath does not work God's righteousness.
nokuti kutsamwa kwomunhu hakuuyisi upenyu hwakarurama hunodikanwa naMwari.
21 Wherefore, laying aside all filthiness and abounding of wickedness, accept with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls.
Naizvozvo, bvisai tsvina yose uye nokuipa kwakawanda, mugogamuchira nokuzvininipisa, shoko rakasimwa mamuri, rinogona kukuponesai.
22 But be ye doers of [the] word and not hearers only, beguiling yourselves.
Musangova vanzwi veshoko bedzi, uye nokudaro muchizvinyengera. Itai zvarinoreva.
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:
Ani naani anoteerera kushoko asi asingaiti zvarinoreva akaita somunhu anotarira chiso chake muchionioni
24 for he has considered himself and is gone away, and straightway he has forgotten what he was like.
uye, mushure mokuzvitarira, anoenda uye nokukurumidza anokanganwa kuti anoratidzika sei.
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.
Asi munhu anonyatsotarisa mumurayiro wakakwana uyo unopa rusununguko, uye achiramba achiita izvozvo, asingakanganwi zvaanzwa, asi achizviita, acharopafadzwa pane zvaanoita.
26 If any one think himself to be religious, not bridling his tongue, but deceiving his heart, this man's religion is vain.
Kana munhu upi zvake achizviti akarurama uye asingachengeti rurimi rwake zvakasimba, anozvinyengera uye chinamato chake hachina maturo.
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.
Kunamata kunodikanwa naMwari Baba vedu kwakachena, uye kusina chakungapomerwa ndokuku: kuchengeta nherera nechirikadzi mukutambudzika kwavo uye nokuzvichengeta kuti urege kusvibiswa nenyika.
