< James 1 >

1 Iames a seruant of God, and of the Lord Iesus Christ, to the twelue Tribes, which are scattered abroade, salutation.
Nene Yakobo, mtumisi wa Chapanga na wa BAMBU Yesu Kilisitu, vikivayandikila nyenye vandu voha va Chapanga, mwemudandasiki pamulima! Nikuvajambusa!
2 My brethren, count it exceeding ioy, when ye fall into diuers tentations,
Valongo vangu, muvya na luheku pemwing'aiswa kwa kila njila,
3 Knowing that ye trying of your faith bringeth forth patience,
muni mmanyili kuvya kulingiwa kwa sadika yinu yati kuvapela usindimala.
4 And let patience haue her perfect worke, that ye may be perfect and entier, lacking nothing.
Mvya na uchakaka kuvya usindimala winu wihenga lihengu mugati yinu pamwishu, muni mkangala na kuvya ngati Chapanga cheigana muvyai, changali kupungukiwa chindu chochoha.
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.
Nambu ngati mmonga winu apungukiwi luhala, hinu iganikiwa amuyupa Chapanga, muni Chapanga akuvapela voha kwa umahele na kwa mtima wabwina.
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.
Nambu iganikiwa kuyupa kwa sadika changali mtahu. Mundu mweavi na mtahu ndi ngati luyuga lwa nyanja gegikang'wa na kutagwa na chimbungululu.
7 Neither let that man thinke that hee shall receiue any thing of the Lord.
Muni mundu ngati mwenuyo akotoka kuhuvalila kuvya yati ipokela chochoa kuhuma kwa BAMBU.
8 A double minded man is vnstable in all his waies.
Mundu mweavi na mtahu na mweavi na maholo gavili kwa lukumbi lumonga mwangahotola kuhamula cha kuhenga pa goha geihenga.
9 Let the brother of lowe degree reioyce in that he is exalted:
Vandu vevakumsadika Kilisitu vevavi vangangu viganikiwa kuheka pala Chapanga peakumkweha,
10 Againe hee that is rich, in that hee is made lowe: for as the flower of the grasse, shall he vanish away.
vandu vana vindu vyamahele vevakumsadika yikumgana kuheka peihuluswa na Chapanga. Muni mundu mweavi na vindu vyamahele yati iwuka na kuyaga ngati manyahi ga mdahi.
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.
Lilanga lihumila na kuganyala mahamba, na manyahi gaki gigwa na ubwina waki woha uyaga. Mewawa yati yivya kwa mundu mweavi na vindu vyamahele yati ifwa mumahengu gaki.
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.
Amotisiwa mundu yula mweisindimala mukulingiwa, muni akamala kusindimala mukulingiwa, yati ipewa njombi ya wumi ndi Chapanga alagini kuvapela vala veavaganili.
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.
Ngati mundu ilingiwa akotoka kujova, “Nilingiwa na Chapanga.” Muni mwene Chapanga nakumlinga mundu yoyoha kwa uhakau.
14 But euery man is tempted, when hee is drawen away by his owne concupiscence, and is entised.
Nambu mundu ilingiwa peihutika na kuyonjwa na mnogo waki uhakau.
15 Then when lust hath conceiued, it bringeth foorth sinne, and sinne when it is finished, bringeth foorth death.
Peukiyilekela mnogu uhakau ukutalalila yiveleka kumbudila Chapanga, na kumbudila Chapanga yikakangalayi yileta lifwa.
16 Erre not, my deare brethren.
Valongo vangu mkoto kukongeka!
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.
Kila chipanji chabwina na kila njombi yangapungula yihuma kunani kwa Dadi, Muwumba wa lumuli, ndi angang'anamuka na kawaka ulangisa wowoha wa kung'anamuka.
18 Of his owne will begate hee vs with the woorde of trueth, that we shoulde be as the first fruites of his creatures.
Kwa kugana kwaki mwene ating'anamwisi kupitila lilovi la uchakaka, muni tivya ngati mabenu ga kutumbula pagati ya viumbi vyaki.
19 Wherefore my deare brethren, let euery man be swift to heare, slowe to speake, and slowe to wrath.
Valongo vangu vaganu mkumbuka lijambu lenili! Kila mundu ndi kuyuwanila kanyata na akotoka kuvya myeywa wa kuyangula mewa akotoka kuyoma kanyata.
20 For the wrath of man doeth not accomplish the righteousnesse of God.
Muni vandu vevana ligoga nakuhotola kuhenga gabwina palongolo ya Chapanga.
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.
Hinu ndi mtaga kutali kuyovalela kwinu na matendu goha gahakau, mjivika pahi ya Chapanga na kupokela kwa ungolongondi lilovi lila lelipandiwi mumitima yinu, ndi lelihotola kuvasangula mwavene.
22 And be ye doers of the word, and not hearers onely, deceiuing your owne selues.
Mkoto kujikonga mwavene kwa kuyuwanila ndu lilovi laki, nambu mulihenga chelijova.
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.
Ndava muni mundu yoyoha mweiyuwanila lilovi nambu nakulihengela lihengu mwenuyo ndi ngati mundu mweakujilola pamihu paki muchilolilo.
24 For when he hath considered himselfe, hee goeth his way, and forgetteth immediately what maner of one he was.
Akujilola mwene, kangi ihamba na kukosiwa cheavi.
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.
Nambu mundu mweilola bwina malagizu yeyivi yabwina neju yeyikuvalekekesa vandu, na mundu mwenuyo akayendelela kukamula malagizu ago, ndi lepi kuyuwana ndu nambu kandahi kukosiwa, nambu akuihengela, mundu mwenuyo yati imotisiwa mukila chindu cheikita.
26 If any man amog you seeme religious, and refraineth not his tongue, but deceiueth his owne heart, this mans religion is vaine.
Ngati mundu akajiholalela kuvya akumuyogopa na kumfugamila Chapanga, na kuni akuudilalila lulimi lwaki, hinu kumuyupa kwa Chapanga kwangali mana na akujikonga wamwene.
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.
Njila yabwina na chakaka ya kumuyupa Chapanga ndi yeniyi: Kuvatangatila vakiva na valipwela mu ng'ani kwavi, na kujiyangalila wamwene ukoto kuhakaswa na mulima uwu.
