James 4
1 From whence are warres and contentions among you? are they not hence, euen of your pleasures, that fight in your members?
Amabaatu nakukaning'hana pakati palyumue fihuma kughi? Asi nafihuma muvunoghele vwinu uvuvivi vuno vupelela uvulugu n'kate muvuhangelanesi viinu? Munoghilue fino namulinafyo.
2 Ye lust, and haue not: ye enuie, and desire immoderately, and cannot obtaine: ye fight and warre, and get nothing, because ye aske not.
Mu uluo ndaponu mula kubuda. Muuva na mabatu nakulua, kange fino mulonda nampata ulwakuva namusuma kwa Nguluve.
3 Ye aske, and receiue not, because ye aske amisse, that ye might lay the same out on your pleasures.
Nambe musuma uNguluve naikuvapulika ulwakuva musuma fino mulonda muvunoghelua vwiinu uvuvivi.
4 Ye adulterers and adulteresses, knowe ye not that the amitie of the world is the enimitie of God? Whosoeuer therefore will be a friend of the world, maketh himselfe the enemie of God.
Umue vaghenda mwalu! Namukagula kuuti kujighana iisi kupelela kuuva mulugu ghwa Nguluve? Kwe kuuti, umunhu ghweni juno ikujighana iisi ikuviika jujuo kuva mulugu ghwa Nguluve.
5 Doe ye thinke that the Scripture sayeth in vaine, The spirit that dwelleth in vs, lusteth after enuie?
Pamo musagha kuuti amalembe amimike ghijova vuvule pono ghiiti uNguluve ilemala fiijo vwiimila umhepo ghwake junojuno ambikile mumojomumojo ghiitu pano ivona tukuvuhiila pikumughano umwene?
6 But the Scripture offereth more grace, and therefore sayth, God resisteth the proude, and giueth grace to the humble.
Niiki uNguluve ihumia uvumofu fiijo, ndavule amalembe ghiiti, “U Nguluve ikuntova unyamatupa, looli ikumpelagha uvumofu junoalinuvukola.”
7 Submit your selues to God: resist the deuill, and he will flee from you.
Lino, mukundaghe Kwan Nguluve. Munkanaghe usetano pe ghwope ikiimbala kuhuma kulyumue.
8 Drawe neere to God, and he will drawe neere to you. Clense your handes, ye sinners, and purge your hearts, ye double minded.
Muvesaghe piping nu Nguluve, ghoope iva pipi numue. Musuke amavoko ghinu, umue mwe vahosi, kange muvalasiaghe amojo ghiinu, umue mwe vanyamasaghe ghaviili.
9 Suffer afflictions, and sorrowe ye, and weepe: let your laughter be turned into mourning, and your ioy into heauinesse.
Musukunalaghe, mulilaghe, nakujijivila! Mushetulaniaghe uluseko lyuinu love lusukunalo nu lukelo lyuinu luuve lusukunalo.
10 Cast downe your selues before the Lord, and he will lift you vp.
Move vakola jumue pa maso gha Mutwa, kange ikuvaghinia kukyanya.
11 Speake not euill one of another, brethren. He that speaketh euill of his brother, or he that condemneth his brother, speaketh euill of ye Law, and condemneth the Lawe: and if thou condemnest the Lawe, thou art not an obseruer of the Lawe, but a iudge.
Vanyalukolo vango, mulekaghe kujovana fivi jumue Kwan jumue, juno ikunjova fiivi unjake nambe kuhigha, ujuo iiva ibenapula indaghilo sa Nguluve nakukusivona kuuva mbiivi. Nave ghuvona indaghilo mbiivi, apuo pe ghuva naghukusivingilila, looli ghuvikile kuuva mulamusi ghwa ndaghilo.
12 There is one Lawgiuer, which is able to saue, and to destroy. Who art thou that iudgest another man?
Ghwe jumo mwene juno ihumia indaghilo nu vuhighi, Nguluve, umwene ghwenya vumofu vwa kutupoka na kutipula. Uve veve veeni ghwejuno ghukumhigha unjaako?
13 Goe to now ye that say, To day or to morowe we will goe into such a citie, and continue there a yeere, and bye and sell, and get gaine,
Mhumhulikisie, mwevano mwiiti, “Umusyughu nambe pakilavo, tuluta mulikaja iili, na kukukala umwaka ghwoni, kuvomba imbombo ja kughusia ifiinu, napitenda uluvumbulilo.”
14 (And yet ye cannot tell what shalbe to morowe. For what is your life? It is euen a vapour that appeareth for a litle time, and afterward vanisheth away)
Veeni juno akagwileakagwile pakilavo kihumila kiki, kange uvwumi vwinu kinukiki fijo? Ulwakuva mulindavule ulutuka luno luvoneka unsiki ndebe vuvule nakusovanika.
15 For that ye ought to say, If the Lord will, and, if we liue, we will doe this or that.
Muvele munoghile multi, “Nave uMutwa akeele tujighe vuumi, tuvomba iki name kila.”
16 But now ye reioyce in your boastings: all such reioycing is euill.
Neke umue mukughiniamukughinia na kukudadimba musino musagha kuvomba. ulughinio lwonilwoni uluo vohosi.
17 Therefore, to him that knoweth how to doe well, and doeth it not, to him it is sinne.
Lino, Kwa jujuo mwene umanyi ivomba inofu neke naivomba, kwa mwene ujuo nyiivi.
