James 1
1 James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad, greeting.
Nene Yakobo, mtumisi wa Chapanga na wa BAMBU Yesu Kilisitu, vikivayandikila nyenye vandu voha va Chapanga, mwemudandasiki pamulima! Nikuvajambusa!
2 My brethren, count it all joy when all of you fall into divers temptations;
Valongo vangu, muvya na luheku pemwing'aiswa kwa kila njila,
3 Knowing this, that the trying of your faith works patience.
muni mmanyili kuvya kulingiwa kwa sadika yinu yati kuvapela usindimala.
4 But let patience have her perfect work, that all of you may be perfect and entire, 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 lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that gives to all men liberally, and reproaches not; and it shall be given 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 ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavers is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.
Nambu iganikiwa kuyupa kwa sadika changali mtahu. Mundu mweavi na mtahu ndi ngati luyuga lwa nyanja gegikang'wa na kutagwa na chimbungululu.
7 For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord.
Muni mundu ngati mwenuyo akotoka kuhuvalila kuvya yati ipokela chochoa kuhuma kwa BAMBU.
8 A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.
Mundu mweavi na mtahu na mweavi na maholo gavili kwa lukumbi lumonga mwangahotola kuhamula cha kuhenga pa goha geihenga.
9 Let the brother of low degree rejoice in that he is exalted:
Vandu vevakumsadika Kilisitu vevavi vangangu viganikiwa kuheka pala Chapanga peakumkweha,
10 But the rich, in that he is made low: because as the flower of the grass he shall pass 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 the sun is no sooner risen with a burning heat, but it withers the grass, and the flower thereof falls, and the grace of the fashion of it perishes: so also shall the rich man fade away in his ways.
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 the man that endures temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord has promised to them that love 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 he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempts he any man:
Ngati mundu ilingiwa akotoka kujova, “Nilingiwa na Chapanga.” Muni mwene Chapanga nakumlinga mundu yoyoha kwa uhakau.
14 But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed.
Nambu mundu ilingiwa peihutika na kuyonjwa na mnogo waki uhakau.
15 Then when lust has conceived, it brings forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, brings forth death.
Peukiyilekela mnogu uhakau ukutalalila yiveleka kumbudila Chapanga, na kumbudila Chapanga yikakangalayi yileta lifwa.
16 Do not go astray, my beloved brethren.
Valongo vangu mkoto kukongeka!
17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, 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 own will brings forth he us with the word (logos) of truth, that we should be a kind of first-fruits 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 beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow 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 works not the righteousness of God.
Muni vandu vevana ligoga nakuhotola kuhenga gabwina palongolo ya Chapanga.
21 Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and abundance of evil, and receive with meekness the implanted word, (logos) which is able to save your souls.
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 But be all of you doers of the word, (logos) and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.
Mkoto kujikonga mwavene kwa kuyuwanila ndu lilovi laki, nambu mulihenga chelijova.
23 For if any be a hearer of the word, (logos) and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass:
Ndava muni mundu yoyoha mweiyuwanila lilovi nambu nakulihengela lihengu mwenuyo ndi ngati mundu mweakujilola pamihu paki muchilolilo.
24 For he beholds himself, and goes his way, and immediately forgets what manner of man he was.
Akujilola mwene, kangi ihamba na kukosiwa cheavi.
25 But whoso looks into the perfect law of liberty, and continues therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.
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 among you seem to be religious, and bridles not his tongue, but deceives his own heart, this man's religion is vain.
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 undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from 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.
