James 4
1 From where [are] wars and fightings among you? [Is it] not from here, out of your passions warring in your members?
Amabaatu nakukaning'hana pakati palyumue fihuma kughi? Asi nafihuma muvunoghele vwinu uvuvivi vuno vupelela uvulugu n'kate muvuhangelanesi viinu? Munoghilue fino namulinafyo.
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;
Mu uluo ndaponu mula kubuda. Muuva na mabatu nakulua, kange fino mulonda nampata ulwakuva namusuma kwa Nguluve.
3 you ask, and you do not receive, because you ask badly, that you may spend [it] in your pleasures.
Nambe musuma uNguluve naikuvapulika ulwakuva musuma fino mulonda muvunoghelua vwiinu uvuvivi.
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.
Umue vaghenda mwalu! Namukagula kuuti kujighana iisi kupelela kuuva mulugu ghwa Nguluve? Kwe kuuti, umunhu ghweni juno ikujighana iisi ikuviika jujuo kuva mulugu ghwa Nguluve.
5 Or, do you think that the Writing says emptily, “The Spirit that has dwelt in us yearns with envy,”
Pamo musagha kuuti amalembe amimike ghijova vuvule pono ghiiti uNguluve ilemala fiijo vwiimila umhepo ghwake junojuno ambikile mumojomumojo ghiitu pano ivona tukuvuhiila pikumughano umwene?
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.”
Niiki uNguluve ihumia uvumofu fiijo, ndavule amalembe ghiiti, “U Nguluve ikuntova unyamatupa, looli ikumpelagha uvumofu junoalinuvukola.”
7 Be subject, then, to God; stand up against the Devil, and he will flee from you;
Lino, mukundaghe Kwan Nguluve. Munkanaghe usetano pe ghwope ikiimbala kuhuma kulyumue.
8 draw near to God, and He will draw near to you; cleanse hands, you sinners! And purify hearts, you split-souled!
Muvesaghe piping nu Nguluve, ghoope iva pipi numue. Musuke amavoko ghinu, umue mwe vahosi, kange muvalasiaghe amojo ghiinu, umue mwe vanyamasaghe ghaviili.
9 Be exceedingly afflicted, and mourn, and weep, let your laughter be turned to mourning, and the joy to heaviness;
Musukunalaghe, mulilaghe, nakujijivila! Mushetulaniaghe uluseko lyuinu love lusukunalo nu lukelo lyuinu luuve lusukunalo.
10 be made low before the LORD, and He will exalt you.
Move vakola jumue pa maso gha Mutwa, kange ikuvaghinia kukyanya.
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.
Vanyalukolo vango, mulekaghe kujovana fivi jumue Kwan jumue, juno ikunjova fiivi unjake nambe kuhigha, ujuo iiva ibenapula indaghilo sa Nguluve nakukusivona kuuva mbiivi. Nave ghuvona indaghilo mbiivi, apuo pe ghuva naghukusivingilila, looli ghuvikile kuuva mulamusi ghwa ndaghilo.
12 One is the lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy; you—who are you that judges the other?
Ghwe jumo mwene juno ihumia indaghilo nu vuhighi, Nguluve, umwene ghwenya vumofu vwa kutupoka na kutipula. Uve veve veeni ghwejuno ghukumhigha unjaako?
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,”
Mhumhulikisie, mwevano mwiiti, “Umusyughu nambe pakilavo, tuluta mulikaja iili, na kukukala umwaka ghwoni, kuvomba imbombo ja kughusia ifiinu, napitenda uluvumbulilo.”
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;
Veeni juno akagwileakagwile pakilavo kihumila kiki, kange uvwumi vwinu kinukiki fijo? Ulwakuva mulindavule ulutuka luno luvoneka unsiki ndebe vuvule nakusovanika.
15 instead, you [ought] to say, “If the LORD may will, we will live, and do this or that”;
Muvele munoghile multi, “Nave uMutwa akeele tujighe vuumi, tuvomba iki name kila.”
16 but now you glory in your pride; all such glorying is evil;
Neke umue mukughiniamukughinia na kukudadimba musino musagha kuvomba. ulughinio lwonilwoni uluo vohosi.
17 to him, then, knowing to do good, and not doing [it], it is sin to him.
Lino, Kwa jujuo mwene umanyi ivomba inofu neke naivomba, kwa mwene ujuo nyiivi.
