James 4
1 From where [are] wars and fightings among you? [Is it] not from here, out of your passions warring in your members?
Ngondo na mipwai munkumbi gwenunji kujikoposhela kwei? Twajilaga muilokoli yenunji ikumbuya ngondo nkati jenunji.
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;
Nnapinganga indu inkanakolanga, kwa nneyo nnatumbililanga kubhulaga nnilokolilanga kuipata yene induyo, ikabhe nkakwiipatanga. Nnapwatanga na komana nkupinga mwapokonyolanje yene induyo. Nkapatanga shindu shinkupinganga pabha nkaajuganga shenesho kwa a Nnungu.
3 you ask, and you do not receive, because you ask badly, that you may spend [it] in your pleasures.
Numbe nkali nnjugangaga nkaapatanga, pabha nnajuganga kwa ndumbililo ya nyata nkupinga nkamilishanje ilokoli yenunji ya nyata.
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.
Mmanganyanji nkakulupalikanga, bhuli nkakumumanyanga kuti kupanga mbwiga na shilambolyo ni kubhika umagongo na a Nnungu? Bhai jojowe apanga mbwiga na shilambolyo anakwiibhika kubha mmagongo jwa a Nnungu.
5 Or, do you think that the Writing says emptily, “The Spirit that has dwelt in us yearns with envy,”
Eu punkuganishiyanga kuti Majandiko ga Mmbone ganabheleketa unami pugataya kuti, “Mbumu jwa Mmbone jubhammishile a Nnungu atama nkati jetu anakutulokolila kwa kutubhonela lupimililo lwa kaje.
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.”
Ikabheje anakutupa mboka ja kaje, malinga Majandiko shigalugula kuti, a Nnungu bhakakwaapinganga bhakwaataukanga na bhakwiikuyanga ikabheje bhakwiitimalikanga bhanakwaapanganga mboka.”
7 Be subject, then, to God; stand up against the Devil, and he will flee from you;
Bhai mwaakundanje a Nnungu, munkananje Lishetani penepo shammutukanje.
8 draw near to God, and He will draw near to you; cleanse hands, you sinners! And purify hearts, you split-souled!
Mwaabhandishilanje a Nnungu na bhalabho shibhammandishilanje mmanganyanji. Nnabhanje makono genunji mmanganyanji nnebhilenje na ntipitiyanje mitima jenunji nkwetenje ng'aniyo ibhili ya pinga kukamula kwa pamo.
9 Be exceedingly afflicted, and mourn, and weep, let your laughter be turned to mourning, and the joy to heaviness;
Nng'inginikanje nkwiipeta kwa ililo na nguto. Kueka kwenunji kutendebhushe nibha kuguta, na kwinonyela kwenunji nibha kuinjika.
10 be made low before the LORD, and He will exalt you.
Mwiitimalikanje ku Bhakulungwa, penepo shibhankuyanje.
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.
Bhaakulupalila ajangunji, nnabheleketananje, akummeleketa nnjakwe eu kunng'ukumula, penepo anakujibheleketa na kujiukumula shalia. Kwa nneyo ujiukumulaga shalia, bhai penepo ni ukakujikunda, ikabhe unabha mundu nkuukumula.
12 One is the lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy; you—who are you that judges the other?
A Nnungu jikape nibhabhishile shalia, na bhaukumula ni bhobho pebho jikape, bhaakombola kutapula na kutitimiya. Bhai ugwe gani ukunng'ukumula mundu nnjako?
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,”
Bhai, mpilikanilanje mmanganyanji nkulugulanga kuti, “Lelo eu malabhi shitujende ashila shilambo shila tukatame shaka tukatende upindi nkupinga tupate mbwaiko.”
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;
Ikabheje ukakugamanya gapinga koposhela malabhi. Kulama kuli kwei? Pabha mmanganyanji malinga ndambwepe, jiibhoneka malanga gashokope, kungai jilitandanuka.
15 instead, you [ought] to say, “If the LORD may will, we will live, and do this or that”;
Punkupinjikwanga mmeleketanje kuti, “A Nnungu bhapingaga shitulame, nitenda ashino na shishila.”
16 but now you glory in your pride; all such glorying is evil;
Ikabheje nnaino nnakwiiniyanga na kwiipuna, kwiiniya na kwiipuna kwa nneyo, kwangali kwa mmbone.
17 to him, then, knowing to do good, and not doing [it], it is sin to him.
Bhai mundu akakushikamula shindu sha mmbone akuno alikushimanya, penepo kuka jwenejo analebha.
