James 2
1 My brothers, do not hold the faith of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ in favor by appearance,
Valokolo lwango mlekhe ukukonga ulwidiko lwa nkuludeva uYesu Klisite unkudeva va vuvalanche pakuvavonela avange avanu.
2 for if there may come into your synagogue a man with gold ring, in radiant clothing, and there may also come in a poor man in vile clothing,
Ingave umunu uyunge angingele kwu lulundamano lwinyo afwalila, ipete icha sahabu ni myenda iminonu, khange angingele ugachu unya myenda imivivi,
3 and you may look on him bearing the radiant clothing, and may say to him, “You—sit here well,” and may say to the poor man, “You—stand there,” or, “Sit here under my footstool,”
mkatengula ukumwimika ficho ula unya myenda iminonu nukuta, “Siwo uveve tama apa pavunonu” khange mkambula uganchu ula uveve ima pala au tama pasi pamalunde gango.”
4 you did not judge fully in yourselves, and became ill-reasoning judges.
Samhigana yumwe mwevene, nukuva vahegi mwe mvile na masage amavivi?
5 Listen, my beloved brothers, did God not choose the poor of this world, rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom that He promised to those loving Him?
Mpulihichage valukolo lwango vagane, uNguluve savahalile avagachu va kilunga ukuva vatajili va lwidiko nu kuhala uvutwa uwa vavolile anganile?
6 But you dishonored the poor one. Do the rich not oppress you and themselves draw you to judgment-seats?
Umwe mwibeda avaganchu savayili vavo vikuvatesya umwe, kange vuvavo avikuva kwegania kuvuhigi?
7 Do they not themselves speak evil of the good Name having been called on you?
Sa vuvatayili uvo vikuliduka ilitawa lila ilinonu ilyo ili mkwelangiwa?
8 If, indeed, you fulfill royal law, according to the Writing: “You will love your neighbor as yourself,” you do well;
Hata lino ingave mkonga ululagilo lwa kivaha nduvu livigilwe mumbusimbe, “Vugana uvimlipaninye nduve vemwene,” mwigaha vunonu.
9 but if you favor by appearance, you work sin, being convicted by the Law as transgressors;
Umwe ingave mukuva vonela avanu avange, mwitula inongwa, mhigiwa nululagilo ukuva mlivadenya lulagilo.
10 for whoever will keep the whole Law, but will stumble in one [point], he has become guilty of all;
Ulwakuva yoyoni uvidwada ululagilo lwoni, kange ikhe bomieha nukhuta yimo avile nukudenya ululagilo lwoni.
11 for He who is saying, “You may not commit adultery,” also said, “You may not murder”; but if you will not commit adultery, but will commit murder, you have become a transgressor of law;
Ulwakhuva uNguluve atile vulekhe, “Uvuligu,” vi yuywa khange uvyatile ulabudaga 'ulabuda' ingave savuligupa uve wibuda, uve udenyile ululagilo lwa Nguluve.
12 thus, speak and so act as [one] about to be judged by a law of liberty,
Pwu mchovage nu kudwada ndavalo uvumlipaninie ukuhigi wa wavukhe.
13 for the judgment without mercy [is] to him having not done mercy, and mercy exults over judgment.
Ulwakuva uvuhigi wukwincha khista kisa kuvala avanchila kisa. Ikisa khikheginia pakyanya pa vuhigi.
14 What [is] the profit, my brothers, if anyone may speak of having faith, but he may not have works? Is that faith able to save him?
Kulivononu vukhi valokololwango ingave umunu nu ita, alinulwidiko humbe inchile mbombo? Ulwidiko yalukumpoka?
15 And if a brother or sister may be naked, and may be destitute of daily food,
Ingave ulukulolwango udemi ung'inja ilonde imienda apange ikhakhulya kya khila linchova
16 and anyone of you may say to them, “Depart in peace, be warmed, and be filled,” but may not give to them the things necessary for the body, what [is] the profit?
uyunge akavavula lutaga nulunu nchehencho mkwotage umwoto, nukhulya vunonu,” umwe samu khupa ifinu ifya mbili mugahile ndakhikhi?
17 So also faith, if it may not have works, is dead by itself.
Khange ulwidiko lwene khisita mbombo, yifwile.
18 But someone may say, “You have faith, and I have works.” Show me your faith without works, and I will show you my faith out of works.
Khange kwale umunu uyunge iwesya ukhunchova, “Ulinu lwidiko nayune nilinacho imbombo.” Imbonesye ulwidiko lwako nayune nivanesya ulwidiko lwango mu mbombo.
19 You believe that God is one; you do well! The demons also believe—and shudder!
Vukhwidika ukhuta kwulinu Nguluve yumo; lweli. pwu lino naga masetano nagope kwikhwedika nu khuhilila.
20 And do you wish to know, O vain man, that faith apart from works is dead?
Lino winogwa ukhulumanya uve vi munu vimpelwa, umluvelile ulwidiko khisita mbombo iyusayinogile?
21 Was not our father Abraham considered righteous out of works, having brought up his son Isaac on the altar?
Lino udada yitu uAbrahamu avaliliwe uwayilweli mmbombo upwu atolile umwana va mwene u Isaka pa nekhelo?
22 Do you see that faith was working with his works, and faith was perfected out of the works?
Mvilola ukuva ulwidiko lwa mwene lulikuvomba paninie ni mbombo nche mwene nchafikile uvunogwe vwa mwene.
23 And the Writing was fulfilled that is saying, “And Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned to him for righteousness”; and, “Friend of God” he was called.
Uvusimbe vwafikele agita “UAbrahamu ali amwidike uNguluve, alikuvaliliwa ukhuva va yilweli.” akhilongiwa mmanyani va Nguluve.
24 You see, then, that man is considered righteous out of works, and not out of faith only;
Mwilola ukuva ku mbombo umunu ivaleliwa uvwa yelweli, nufwe kulwidiko vuvule.
25 and in like manner also Rahab the prostitute—was she not considered righteous out of works, having received the messengers, and having sent [them] forth by another way?
Khange sale vi Rahabu ummalaya ule ava leliwe uwa yilweli ku mbombo upwu avinginche avanu nu kuvahilikha ku nsewe ugunge?
26 For as the body apart from [the] spirit is dead, so also the faith apart from works is dead.
Ulwakuva ingave umbili gungave khista mwuyo gufwile vuyilivwo ulwidiko khisita mbombo lufwile.
