James 1
1 James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes who are in the dispersion: Greetings!
Jemusi, mubelesi wa Leza a Mwami Jesu Kkilisito, kumusyobo yabantu ili kkumi ayibili imwayikide munyika: Injuzyo.
2 Count [it] all joy, my brothers, when you may fall into manifold temptations,
Zyoonse muzibweze mbuli lukondo, nobakwesu, awo nimuyoswanana amakatazyo asiyenesiyene.
3 knowing that the proof of your faith works endurance,
Mulizi kuti kusunkwa kwalusyomo lwanu kuzyala banangatizi.
4 and let the endurance have a perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.
Amulekele bunangatizi, bumaninsye mulimo wabo kuchitila kuti mukonzye kukkomena akumaninina, kamuta chibuli chintu.
5 And if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask from God, who is giving to all generously, and not reproaching, and it will be given to 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 ask in faith, doubting nothing, for he who is doubting has been like a wave of the sea, driven by wind and tossed;
Pesi amumuleke akumbile mukusyoma, kakutakwe kudoneka. Nkambo kufumbwa muntu uudoneka uli mbuli juwe mulwizi ilitontwa aluuwo alimwi kaliyumbwa kumabbazu woonse.
7 for do not let that man suppose that he will receive anything from the LORD—
Nkambo muntu oyo tayelede kuyeya kuti uyotambula chimwi chintu kuzwa ku Mwami.
8 a soul-split man [is] unstable in all his ways.
Muntu ulobo ulamizezo-ibili, utakkalinkene pe munzila zyakwe zyonse.
9 And let the brother who is low rejoice in his exaltation,
Mumuleke mukwesu wachiimo chilaansi apakale muchuno chakwe chaajulu,
10 but the rich in his becoming low, because he will pass away as a flower of grass;
pesi imuvubi muchuno chakwe chilaansi, nkambo uzoyinda mbuli dubaluba lyalusaka musokwe.
11 for the sun rose with the burning heat, and withered the grass, and the flower of it fell, and the beauty of its appearance perished, so also the rich in his way will fade away!
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] the man who endures temptation, because, becoming approved, he will receive the garland of life, which the LORD promised to those loving Him.
Ulilongezezegwe oyo unangatila muchindi chamasunko. Nkambo aazunda masunko uyotambula ipande lyabuumi, eelyo lyakasyomezegwa aabo bayanda Leza.
13 Let no one who is being tempted say, “I am tempted from God,” for God is not tempted by evils, and Himself tempts no one,
Kutakabi muntu utakaambe kuti akusunkwa, “Ndasungwa a Leza.” nkambo Leza tasunkwi achibi, alimwi we lwakwe tasunki muntu.
14 but each one is tempted, being led away and enticed by his own desires;
Pesi umwi muntu usunkwa akupeekezya kwakwe, ikumukwelela kule akumweneena.
15 afterward the desire having conceived, gives birth to sin, and sin having been perfected, brings forth death.
Musule aakuti impeekezyo yakomena mbuli chibi nichakakomena, chizyala lufu.
16 Do not be led astray, my beloved brothers.
Tamweneenwi, nobakwesu bayandwa.
17 Every good giving, and every perfect gift, is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variation, or 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 having willed [it], He begot us with a word of truth, for our being a certain first-fruit of His creatures.
Leza wakasala kuti tuzyalwe ajwi lyakasimpe, kuchitila kuti tube musyobo wamichelo mitanzi kuzintu zyoonse nzyakalenga.
19 So then, my beloved brothers, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger,
Mulichizi echi, nobakwesu bayandwa: amuchite kuti muntu woonse afwambane kumvwa, anelele kukwambuula, anelele kukunyema.
20 for the wrath of a man does not work the righteousness of God;
Nkambo kunyema kwamuntu takumaninizyi bululami bwa Leza.
21 for this reason, having put aside all filthiness and superabundance of evil, receive the implanted word in meekness, that is able to save your souls;
Nkinkako amugwisye woonse mawunda mawunda aabulewusi busesemya bwazibi. Mubuntu amutambule ijwi litanyukulwi, eelyo likkonzya kuvuma myuuya yenu.
22 and become doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves,
Amube bantu bachita zyamba ijwi pepe kuba baswilizi biyo, kamuli kulyena.
23 because, if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, this one has been like to a man viewing his natural face in a mirror,
Nkambo kuti muntu kamvwa biyo ijwi pesi katalichiti, uli mbuli muntu ulyeba busyu bwakwe mbububumbidwe muchiboniboni.
24 for he viewed himself, and has gone away, and immediately he forgot what kind of [man] he was;
Ulalyeeba aazwa aawo ayende alimwi alube mpawawo kuti wali biyeni.
25 but he who looked into [the] perfect law—that of liberty, and continued there, not becoming a forgetful hearer, but a doer of work—this one will be blessed in his doing.
Pesi muntu uulanga kabotu mumulawu walwangunuko, alimwi kayinkilila kunembo akuchita mbubobo, katali sikumvwa biyo uuluba, ooyu muntu ulalongezegwa kunchito zyakwe.
26 If anyone thinks to be religious among you, not bridling his tongue, but deceiving his heart, the religion of this one [is] vain;
Kuti umwi muntu kaliyeya kuti ngwabuna Leza, pesi katazyotololi lulimi lwakwe, weena moyo wakwe, alimwi nzyasyoma nzyabuyo.
27 religion pure and undefiled with the God and Father is this: to look after orphans and widows in their tribulation—to keep himself unspotted from 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.
