James 4
1 From where [are] wars and fightings among you? [Is it] not from here, out of your passions warring in your members?
Obhulemo na inyogele agati yemwe ebhisoka aki? Bhitakusoka mu bhuligisi bhwemwe obhubhibhi bhunu obhuleta lilemo munda ye likofyanya lyemwe?
2 You desire, and do not have, [so] you murder; and you are zealous, and are not able to attain, [so] you fight and war; and you do not have, because of your not asking;
Omuligila chinu mutanacho. Omwita nimubhilimya chinu mutakutula kubha nacho. Omulwana no kuyomba, na mutakubhona kulwokubha mutamusabhwa Nyamuanga.
3 you ask, and you do not receive, because you ask badly, that you may spend [it] in your pleasures.
Omusabhwa mutakuyanwa kulwokubha omusabhwa ingulu ya magambo mabhibhi, koleleki mubhone okubhikolela kwo bhuligisi bhwemwe bhubhibhi.
4 Adulterers and adulteresses! Have you not known that friendship of the world is enmity with God? Whoever, then, may intend to be a friend of the world, he is designated [as] an 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 Or, do you think that the Writing says emptily, “The Spirit that has dwelt in us yearns with envy,”
Angu omwitogelati amandiko gatana nsonga ganu agaikati Omwoyo gunu gutehye munda yeswe ali no lwiso muno ingulu yeswe?
6 but [God] gives greater grace, for this reason it says, “God sets Himself up against proud ones, and He gives grace to lowly ones.”
Nawe Nyamuanga kasosha echigongo chamfu, “Nyamuanga atakumwikilisha owechigundu, nawe kamuyana echigongo omwololo,”
7 Be subject, then, to God; stand up against the Devil, and he will flee from you;
Kulwejo, mwisoshe ku Nyamuanga. Muyajane na shetani kabhilima okusoka kwimwe.
8 draw near to God, and He will draw near to you; cleanse hands, you sinners! And purify hearts, you split-souled!
Mwiilile ayeyi na Nyamuanga, omwene ona kabhafogelela emwe ona. Mwoshe amabhoko gemwe, emwe abhebhibhibhi, na mwiyoshe emyoyo jemwe, emwe abho
9 Be exceedingly afflicted, and mourn, and weep, let your laughter be turned to mourning, and the joy to heaviness;
bhwiganilisha bhubhili. Mujubhe, mukunge, no kulila! Muindule okuseka kwemwe kubha kujubha no kusandabha kwemwe kubhe kulila.
10 be made low before the LORD, and He will exalt you.
Mwikee emwe abhene imbele ya Latabhugenyi, no mwene kabhemusha ingulu.
11 Do not speak against one another, brothers; he who is speaking against a brother, and is judging his brother, speaks against law, and judges law, and if you judge law, you are not a doer of 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 One is the lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy; you—who are you that judges the other?
Ni umwila unu kasosha ebhilagilo no mulamusi, Nyamuanga, omwene unu anobhutulo bhwo kuchungula no kusimagisha. Awe uli niga unu oumulamula omwikashanya wao?
13 Go, now, you who are saying, “Today and tomorrow we will go on to such a city, and will pass there one year, and traffic, and make gain,”
Mtegeleshe, bhanu omwaikati, “Lelo nolo mutondo echigenda mumusi gunu, nchikaleyo omwaka gwona, nchikola ebyasara, nchibhona amatundo.”
14 who does not know the thing of tomorrow; for what is your life? For it is a vapor that is appearing for a little [while], and then is vanishing;
Niga unu kamenya chinu agamutondo, no bhulame bhwemwe niki? Kulwokubha omususana noluo olubhonekana kwo mwanya mufuyi ndwiya ndubhula.
15 instead, you [ought] to say, “If the LORD may will, we will live, and do this or that”;
Akili mwakaikilati, “labha Latabhugenyi akenda, echilama nokukola chinu na chiliya.”
16 but now you glory in your pride; all such glorying is evil;
Nawe woli omwikuya ingulu yo bhwiganilisha bhwemwe. Obhwikuyi bhwona obhwo ni bhubhibhi.
17 to him, then, knowing to do good, and not doing [it], it is sin to him.
Kulwejo, kumwene unu kamenya okukola agekisi nawe atagakola, kumwene oyo ni chikayo.
