James 4
1 Where do the fights and quarrels you're having come from? Aren't they due to the sensual passions that are in conflict within you?
Obhulemo na inyogele agati yemwe ebhisoka aki? Bhitakusoka mu bhuligisi bhwemwe obhubhibhi bhunu obhuleta lilemo munda ye likofyanya lyemwe?
2 You burn with desire, but don't get what you want. You kill for what you lust after, but don't get what you're looking for. You argue and you fight, but you don't get anything, because you don't pray for it.
Omuligila chinu mutanacho. Omwita nimubhilimya chinu mutakutula kubha nacho. Omulwana no kuyomba, na mutakubhona kulwokubha mutamusabhwa Nyamuanga.
3 You pray, but don't receive anything, because you ask with a wrong motive, wanting to spend what you'd receive on your selfish pleasures.
Omusabhwa mutakuyanwa kulwokubha omusabhwa ingulu ya magambo mabhibhi, koleleki mubhone okubhikolela kwo bhuligisi bhwemwe bhubhibhi.
4 You adulterous people! Don't you realize that friendship with the world is hatred towards God? Those who want to be friends of the world make themselves enemies of God.
Emwe abhalomesi! Mtakumenyati obhusani ne chalo ni bhusoko na Nyamuanga? Kulwejo, wonawona oyo kabha musani we chalo kabha kabha omwenene musoko wa Nyamuanga.
5 Do you think Scripture doesn't mean what it says: that the spirit that he put in us is very jealous?
Angu omwitogelati amandiko gatana nsonga ganu agaikati Omwoyo gunu gutehye munda yeswe ali no lwiso muno ingulu yeswe?
6 But God gives us even more grace, as Scripture says: “God is against those who are arrogant, but gives grace to those who are humble.”
Nawe Nyamuanga kasosha echigongo chamfu, “Nyamuanga atakumwikilisha owechigundu, nawe kamuyana echigongo omwololo,”
7 So place yourself under God's direction. Confront the devil, and he will run away from you.
Kulwejo, mwisoshe ku Nyamuanga. Muyajane na shetani kabhilima okusoka kwimwe.
8 Come close to God and he will come close to you. Wash your hands, you sinners. Purify your way of thinking, you people with divided loyalties.
Mwiilile ayeyi na Nyamuanga, omwene ona kabhafogelela emwe ona. Mwoshe amabhoko gemwe, emwe abhebhibhibhi, na mwiyoshe emyoyo jemwe, emwe abho
9 Show some remorse, cry and weep! Turn your laughter into mourning, and your joy to sadness.
bhwiganilisha bhubhili. Mujubhe, mukunge, no kulila! Muindule okuseka kwemwe kubha kujubha no kusandabha kwemwe kubhe kulila.
10 Be humble before the Lord and he will lift you up.
Mwikee emwe abhene imbele ya Latabhugenyi, no mwene kabhemusha ingulu.
11 Friends, don't speak badly of one another. Anyone who criticizes a fellow-believer and condemns them, criticizes and condemns the law. If you condemn the law you're not someone who keeps the law, because you're sitting in judgment of it.
Mutalomanaga emwe kwemwe, muili. Omunu unu kaloma atasikene no mwana wabho, nolo okumulamula omwana wabho, kaloma atasikene ne bhilagilo bhya Nyamuanga. Mukachilamula echilagilo, mutachilubha echilagilo, nawe omuchilamula.
12 There's only one lawgiver and judge—the one who can either save or destroy you—so who are you to judge your neighbor?
Ni umwila unu kasosha ebhilagilo no mulamusi, Nyamuanga, omwene unu anobhutulo bhwo kuchungula no kusimagisha. Awe uli niga unu oumulamula omwikashanya wao?
13 Come on now!—you people who say, “Either today or tomorrow we'll go to such-and-such a city, spend a year in business there, and make a profit.”
Mtegeleshe, bhanu omwaikati, “Lelo nolo mutondo echigenda mumusi gunu, nchikaleyo omwaka gwona, nchikola ebyasara, nchibhona amatundo.”
14 You have no idea what will happen tomorrow! What's your life like? It's just a mist that appears for a little while, and then is gone.
Niga unu kamenya chinu agamutondo, no bhulame bhwemwe niki? Kulwokubha omususana noluo olubhonekana kwo mwanya mufuyi ndwiya ndubhula.
15 What you should say is, “If it's the Lord's will, we'll live like this and plan to do that.”
Akili mwakaikilati, “labha Latabhugenyi akenda, echilama nokukola chinu na chiliya.”
16 But right now you're caught up in your vain ideas. All this boasting is evil.
Nawe woli omwikuya ingulu yo bhwiganilisha bhwemwe. Obhwikuyi bhwona obhwo ni bhubhibhi.
17 For it is a sin if you know to do what's right but don't do it.
Kulwejo, kumwene unu kamenya okukola agekisi nawe atagakola, kumwene oyo ni chikayo.
