James 1
1 Iames a seruant of God, and of the Lord Iesus Christ, to the twelue Tribes, which are scattered abroade, salutation.
Jemusi, mubelesi wa Leza a Mwami Jesu Kkilisito, kumusyobo yabantu ili kkumi ayibili imwayikide munyika: Injuzyo.
2 My brethren, count it exceeding ioy, when ye fall into diuers tentations,
Zyoonse muzibweze mbuli lukondo, nobakwesu, awo nimuyoswanana amakatazyo asiyenesiyene.
3 Knowing that ye trying of your faith bringeth forth patience,
Mulizi kuti kusunkwa kwalusyomo lwanu kuzyala banangatizi.
4 And let patience haue her perfect worke, that ye may be perfect and entier, lacking nothing.
Amulekele bunangatizi, bumaninsye mulimo wabo kuchitila kuti mukonzye kukkomena akumaninina, kamuta chibuli chintu.
5 If any of you lacke wisedome, let him aske of God, which giueth to all men liberally, and reprocheth no man, and it shalbe giuen him.
Pesi kuti umwi wanu kayanda busongo, amumuleke abukkumbile kuli Leza, ooyo uupa chakwangunuka alimwi katasandukili pe kulabo bakkumbila, alimwi uyomupa mbubo.
6 But let him aske in faith, and wauer not: for hee that wauereth, is like a waue of the sea, tost of the winde, and caried away.
Pesi amumuleke akumbile mukusyoma, kakutakwe kudoneka. Nkambo kufumbwa muntu uudoneka uli mbuli juwe mulwizi ilitontwa aluuwo alimwi kaliyumbwa kumabbazu woonse.
7 Neither let that man thinke that hee shall receiue any thing of the Lord.
Nkambo muntu oyo tayelede kuyeya kuti uyotambula chimwi chintu kuzwa ku Mwami.
8 A double minded man is vnstable in all his waies.
Muntu ulobo ulamizezo-ibili, utakkalinkene pe munzila zyakwe zyonse.
9 Let the brother of lowe degree reioyce in that he is exalted:
Mumuleke mukwesu wachiimo chilaansi apakale muchuno chakwe chaajulu,
10 Againe hee that is rich, in that hee is made lowe: for as the flower of the grasse, shall he vanish away.
pesi imuvubi muchuno chakwe chilaansi, nkambo uzoyinda mbuli dubaluba lyalusaka musokwe.
11 For as when the sunne riseth with heate, then the grasse withereth, and his flower falleth away, and the goodly shape of it perisheth: euen so shall the rich man wither away in all his waies.
Nkambo izuba lizwa akupya akutenta alimwi kuyumya masokwe idubaluba lilaloka, alimwi bubotu bwalyo ngabwamana. Muli njiyeyi inzila, muntu uvubide uyoyangala akkati kalweendo lwakwe.
12 Blessed is ye man, that endureth tentation: for when he is tried, hee shall receiue the crowne of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that loue him.
Ulilongezezegwe oyo unangatila muchindi chamasunko. Nkambo aazunda masunko uyotambula ipande lyabuumi, eelyo lyakasyomezegwa aabo bayanda Leza.
13 Let no man say when hee is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God can not bee tempted with euill, neither tempteth he any man.
Kutakabi muntu utakaambe kuti akusunkwa, “Ndasungwa a Leza.” nkambo Leza tasunkwi achibi, alimwi we lwakwe tasunki muntu.
14 But euery man is tempted, when hee is drawen away by his owne concupiscence, and is entised.
Pesi umwi muntu usunkwa akupeekezya kwakwe, ikumukwelela kule akumweneena.
15 Then when lust hath conceiued, it bringeth foorth sinne, and sinne when it is finished, bringeth foorth death.
Musule aakuti impeekezyo yakomena mbuli chibi nichakakomena, chizyala lufu.
16 Erre not, my deare brethren.
Tamweneenwi, nobakwesu bayandwa.
17 Euery good giuing, and euery perfect gift is from aboue, and commeth downe from the Father of lights, with whome is no variablenes, neither shadow of turning.
Chonse chipo chibotu achoonse chipo chimaninide chizwa kujulu. Chiiza ansi kuzwa kuli Wisi wa mimuni. Kulinguwe takukwe kusanduka na imwenzule nkambo kakuchengunuka.
18 Of his owne will begate hee vs with the woorde of trueth, that we shoulde be as the first fruites of his creatures.
Leza wakasala kuti tuzyalwe ajwi lyakasimpe, kuchitila kuti tube musyobo wamichelo mitanzi kuzintu zyoonse nzyakalenga.
19 Wherefore my deare brethren, let euery man be swift to heare, slowe to speake, and slowe to wrath.
Mulichizi echi, nobakwesu bayandwa: amuchite kuti muntu woonse afwambane kumvwa, anelele kukwambuula, anelele kukunyema.
20 For the wrath of man doeth not accomplish the righteousnesse of God.
Nkambo kunyema kwamuntu takumaninizyi bululami bwa Leza.
21 Wherefore lay apart all filthinesse, and superfluitie of maliciousnesse, and receiue with meekenes the word that is graffed in you, which is able to saue your soules.
Nkinkako amugwisye woonse mawunda mawunda aabulewusi busesemya bwazibi. Mubuntu amutambule ijwi litanyukulwi, eelyo likkonzya kuvuma myuuya yenu.
22 And be ye doers of the word, and not hearers onely, deceiuing your owne selues.
Amube bantu bachita zyamba ijwi pepe kuba baswilizi biyo, kamuli kulyena.
23 For if any heare the woorde, and doe it not, he is like vnto a man, that beholdeth his naturall face in a glasse.
Nkambo kuti muntu kamvwa biyo ijwi pesi katalichiti, uli mbuli muntu ulyeba busyu bwakwe mbububumbidwe muchiboniboni.
24 For when he hath considered himselfe, hee goeth his way, and forgetteth immediately what maner of one he was.
Ulalyeeba aazwa aawo ayende alimwi alube mpawawo kuti wali biyeni.
25 But who so looketh in the perfect Lawe of libertie, and continueth therein, hee not being a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the woorke, shalbe blessed in his deede.
Pesi muntu uulanga kabotu mumulawu walwangunuko, alimwi kayinkilila kunembo akuchita mbubobo, katali sikumvwa biyo uuluba, ooyu muntu ulalongezegwa kunchito zyakwe.
26 If any man amog you seeme religious, and refraineth not his tongue, but deceiueth his owne heart, this mans religion is vaine.
Kuti umwi muntu kaliyeya kuti ngwabuna Leza, pesi katazyotololi lulimi lwakwe, weena moyo wakwe, alimwi nzyasyoma nzyabuyo.
27 Pure religion and vndefiled before God, euen the Father, is this, to visite the fatherlesse, and widdowes in their aduersitie, and to keepe himselfe vnspotted of the world.
Ilusyomo lusalala lutakwe kampenda kunembo lya Leza aa Taata ngayakuti: kugwasya bamuchaala abamukabafu kuli zibakatazya, akuliyobola ilwabo beni chakutaba akampenda nikaba komwe kaansi.
