James 1
1 James the servant of God, and of our Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad, 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 My brethren, count it all joy, when you shall fall into divers temptations;
Mmaakulupalilanga ajangunji nng'angalalanjepe punkulingwanga kwa mboteko ya kila namuna,
3 Knowing that the trying of your faith worketh patience.
pabha mmumanyinji kuti kulingwa kwa ngulupai jenunji kunapeleshela kwiipililila.
4 And patience hath a perfect work; that you may be perfect and entire, failing in nothing.
Kwiipililila kwenunji kumpanganje kushimilika na kutimilila nngulupai gwangali tubhilwa shindu shoshowe.
5 But if any of you want wisdom, let him ask of God, who giveth to all men abundantly, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given 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 wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea, which is moved and carried about by the wind.
Ikabheje ajuje alikulupalila gwangali lipamba lya jangulwa, pabha akwete lipamba anabha mbuti libhimbili lya mashi ga bhaali linokolwa na mbungo akuno na kukuno.
7 Therefore let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord.
Pabha mundu jwa nneyo anakulupalile kuti shaapate shindu koposhela kwa Bhakulungwa.
8 A double minded man is inconstant in all his ways.
Mundu jwa ng'aniyo ibhili akakamula shindu shimo muitendi yakwe yowe.
9 But let the brother of low condition glory in his exaltation:
Bhaakulupalilanga bhaalaga, bhaangalalanje pabha a Nnungu bhanakwaishimunji bhowe.
10 And the rich, in his being low; because as the flower of the grass shall he pass away.
Na matajili bhaangalalanje pubhatuluywanga na a Nnungu, pabha nabhalabhonji shibhaobhanje malinga lilubha lya mukonde shilijumula niobha.
11 For the sun rose with a burning heat, and parched the grass, and the flower thereof fell off, and the beauty of the shape thereof perished: so also shall the rich man fade away in his ways.
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 that endureth temptation; for when he hath been proved, he shall receive a crown of life, which God hath 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, when he is tempted, say that he is tempted by God. For God is not a tempter of evils, and he tempteth no man.
Monaga mundu alingwaga, analugule kuti, “A Nnungu bhananinga.” Pabha a Nnungu bhakaalingwa na ilebho, na bhenebho bhakakunninga mundu.
14 But every man is tempted by his own concupiscence, being drawn away and allured.
Ikabheje kila mundu analingwa, kwa nonyelwa na tembwa na ilokoli yakwe nnyene.
15 Then when concupiscence hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin. But sin, when it is completed, begetteth death.
Kwa nneyo shilokoli shipundaga shinabheleka shambi na shambi shikomalaga shinabheleka shiwo.
16 Do not err, therefore, my dearest brethren.
Bhaakulupalilanga ajangunji nkupingwanga, nnatembwanje!
17 Every best gift, and every perfect gift, is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no change, nor shadow of alteration.
Kila shammbone shinkupegwa, na shoshowe shitimilile, kushikoposhela kunnungu, kwa Atati bhapeleshe shilangaya. Bhenebho bhakatendebhuka, numbe bhangali nkubho gwa tendebhukatendebhuka.
18 For of his own will hath he begotten us by the word of truth, that we might be some beginning of his creatures.
Kwa pinga kwabho bhayeneuwe, nigubhatubhishile nndamo ja ambi kwa lilobhe lyabho lya kweli, nkupinga tubhe nnimbu gwa indu yabho ipengenywe.
19 You know, my dearest brethren. And let every man be swift to hear, but slow to speak, and slow to anger.
Bhaakulupalilanga ajangunji bhungumpinganga, nngamanyanje gegano. Bhai mundu abhe jwa minda kupilikanishiya na nngabha jwa minda kubheleketa na anabhe jwa tumbala shangu.
20 For the anger of man worketh not the justice of God.
Pabha mundu akwete nnjimwa, nngakombola kwaanonyeya a Nnungu.
21 Wherefore casting away all uncleanness, and abundance of naughtiness, with meekness receive the ingrafted 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, deceiving your own selves.
Ikabheje ntendelanje liengo malobhe ga Nnungu na nngabha kupilikanilape, akuno nnikwiitembanga mmitima jenunji.
23 For if a man be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he shall be compared to a man beholding his own countenance in a glass.
Pabha mundu apilikana lilobhe gwangali tendela liengo, jwenejo pabha mbuti mundu akwiilola ku meyo kwake nshiyoo.
24 For he beheld himself, and went his way, and presently forgot what manner of man he was.
Pabha ailolaga nijabhula, shangupe analibhala shikuli kumeyo kwakwe.
25 But he that hath looked into the perfect law of liberty, and hath continued therein, not becoming a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work; this man shall be blessed in his deed.
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 And if any man think himself to be religious, not bridling his tongue, but deceiving his own 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 Religion clean and undefiled before God and the Father, is this: to visit the fatherless and widows in their tribulation: and to keep one’s self unspotted from this 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.
