James 4
1 From whence [come] wars and fightings among you? [come they] not hence, [even] of your lusts that war in your members?
Obhulemo na inyogele agati yemwe ebhisoka aki? Bhitakusoka mu bhuligisi bhwemwe obhubhibhi bhunu obhuleta lilemo munda ye likofyanya lyemwe?
2 Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not.
Omuligila chinu mutanacho. Omwita nimubhilimya chinu mutakutula kubha nacho. Omulwana no kuyomba, na mutakubhona kulwokubha mutamusabhwa Nyamuanga.
3 Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume [it] upon your lusts.
Omusabhwa mutakuyanwa kulwokubha omusabhwa ingulu ya magambo mabhibhi, koleleki mubhone okubhikolela kwo bhuligisi bhwemwe bhubhibhi.
4 Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy 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 ye think that the scripture saith in vain, The spirit that dwelleth in us lusteth to envy?
Angu omwitogelati amandiko gatana nsonga ganu agaikati Omwoyo gunu gutehye munda yeswe ali no lwiso muno ingulu yeswe?
6 But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble.
Nawe Nyamuanga kasosha echigongo chamfu, “Nyamuanga atakumwikilisha owechigundu, nawe kamuyana echigongo omwololo,”
7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
Kulwejo, mwisoshe ku Nyamuanga. Muyajane na shetani kabhilima okusoka kwimwe.
8 Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse [your] hands, [ye] sinners; and purify [your] hearts, [ye] double minded.
Mwiilile ayeyi na Nyamuanga, omwene ona kabhafogelela emwe ona. Mwoshe amabhoko gemwe, emwe abhebhibhibhi, na mwiyoshe emyoyo jemwe, emwe abho
9 Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and [your] joy to heaviness.
bhwiganilisha bhubhili. Mujubhe, mukunge, no kulila! Muindule okuseka kwemwe kubha kujubha no kusandabha kwemwe kubhe kulila.
10 Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.
Mwikee emwe abhene imbele ya Latabhugenyi, no mwene kabhemusha ingulu.
11 Speak not evil one of another, brethren. He that speaketh evil of [his] brother, and judgeth his brother, speaketh evil of the law, and judgeth the law: but if thou judge the law, thou art not a doer of the law, but a judge.
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 is one lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy: who art thou that judgest another?
Ni umwila unu kasosha ebhilagilo no mulamusi, Nyamuanga, omwene unu anobhutulo bhwo kuchungula no kusimagisha. Awe uli niga unu oumulamula omwikashanya wao?
13 Go to now, ye that say, To day or to morrow we will go into such a city, and continue there a year, and buy and sell, and get gain:
Mtegeleshe, bhanu omwaikati, “Lelo nolo mutondo echigenda mumusi gunu, nchikaleyo omwaka gwona, nchikola ebyasara, nchibhona amatundo.”
14 Whereas ye know not what [shall be] on the morrow. For what [is] your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away.
Niga unu kamenya chinu agamutondo, no bhulame bhwemwe niki? Kulwokubha omususana noluo olubhonekana kwo mwanya mufuyi ndwiya ndubhula.
15 For that ye [ought] to say, If the Lord will, we shall live, and do this, or that.
Akili mwakaikilati, “labha Latabhugenyi akenda, echilama nokukola chinu na chiliya.”
16 But now ye rejoice in your boastings: all such rejoicing is evil.
Nawe woli omwikuya ingulu yo bhwiganilisha bhwemwe. Obhwikuyi bhwona obhwo ni bhubhibhi.
17 Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth [it] not, to him it is sin.
Kulwejo, kumwene unu kamenya okukola agekisi nawe atagakola, kumwene oyo ni chikayo.
