James 1
1 James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes who are in the dispersion: Greetings!
Jakovo, muhikana we Ireeza ni wa Simwine Jesu Kresite, ku mishovo ikwanisa iyanza ni yovele ahasene: Ni lumelisa.
2 Count [it] all joy, my brothers, when you may fall into manifold temptations,
Mwihinde kiti ive kusanga, vakwangu, hamu hita mu matata mangi.
3 knowing that the proof of your faith works endurance,
Mwizi kuti kulikiwa kwe intumelo yenu kuleta ku lileta.
4 and let the endurance have a perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.
Musiye ku lileta ku maniniza misevezi ya teni, ili kuti muve vakulite luli ni ku maniniza, ili kuti sanzi muvuli chimwi.
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;
Kono heva zumi kwenu hasaka vutali, avu kumbile kwa Ireeza, iye yoha chavungi mi nasa kanani, mi kavu hewe.
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;
Kono mumu siye a kumbile mwi Itumelo, na sa hakanyehi chimwi.
7 for do not let that man suppose that he will receive anything from the LORD—
Imi yense yo hakanyeha u kola ili lindinda mwi wate lika vutizwa luhuho ni li zimbuluka feela. Cwale uzo muntu sanzi ahupuli kuti mwa wane chimi kwa Ireeza.
8 a soul-split man [is] unstable in all his ways.
Muntu wina vulyo wina mihupulo yovele, kawondeki mwi nzila zakwe.
9 And let the brother who is low rejoice in his exaltation,
Misiye mwetu we njevwe alitembe ka chi tulo chikando chakwe,
10 but the rich in his becoming low, because he will pass away as a flower of grass;
kono muhumane ali tembe cha kulikokoveza kwa chitolo chakwe, Mukuti kafwe sina impalisa ya mwinkanda ina mulyani.
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!
Imi izuva lizwa niku hisa ni kuzumisa lyani. Impalisa iwa, mi vulotu vwayo vumani, che nzila iswana, muhumanehi mwa mannine ha kati kamusipili.
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.
Wina imbuyoti muntu yo lileta kwi ntantuvo. Mi hakumba intantuvo, ava tambuli mushukwe wa vuhalo, vuva sepiswe kwavo vasaka Ireeza.
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,
Muntu halikwa senzi ati, “Na likwa Ireeza,” Mukuti Ireeza kalikwa cha vuvi, Mi kaliki muntu.
14 but each one is tempted, being led away and enticed by his own desires;
Kono muntu ni muntu ulikwa che ntakazo yakwe, imu kwita ni kumu chengelela.
15 afterward the desire having conceived, gives birth to sin, and sin having been perfected, brings forth death.
Linu intakazo haimu chunina, i zala chivi. Mi chivi ha chikula, chizala ifu.
16 Do not be led astray, my beloved brothers.
Sanzi Mu chengwa, vakwangu va sakiwa.
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;
Impo i ndotu ni impo ina hande izwa kwiwulu. i keza hansi kwuzwa kwe shetu we seli. Imi khakwe kakwina kuchinca kapa munzunde vakeñi chaku sanduka.
18 having willed [it], He begot us with a word of truth, for our being a certain first-fruit of His creatures.
Ireeza ava keti kutuha kupepa cha linzwii lye niti, ili kuti mufuta muselo we ntazi muzintu zonse za vapangi.
19 So then, my beloved brothers, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger,
Mwizi izi, va kwangu vasakiwa: muntu ni muntu azuwe cha vuhweluhwelu, kusa hwela kuku wamba, kulyeha kuvenga.
20 for the wrath of a man does not work the righteousness of God;
Kuvenga kwa muntu kaku sevezi ka kuluka kwa Ireeza.
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;
chelyo ivaka musiye zina i kwe zonse, nichisina ko cha lunya. cha vuntu tu amuhele ka chishemo linzwii, liwola kuhaza luhuho lwetu.
22 and become doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves,
Mutende zi lisaka linzwii isinyi ba lizuwa feela, kulichenga muvene.
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,
Mi heva zumi uzuwa linzwii kono kalitendisi, uswa uvu muntu yolilola muchimponi chifateho cha va pepwa kacho.
24 for he viewed himself, and has gone away, and immediately he forgot what kind of [man] he was;
Hamana kulivona uyenda kule mi haho uzivala mwekalile.
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.
Kono muntu yo lilola chentokomelo kamulao wa kulukuluha, mi uzwila havusu kutenda, isinyi kuzuwa vulyo ni kuzivala, uzu muntu mwa tonolwefazwe ke Inkezo zakwe.
26 If anyone thinks to be religious among you, not bridling his tongue, but deceiving his heart, the religion of this one [is] vain;
Heva zumwi uli hupuela kuti mulumeli, kono ka sikululi lulimwi lwakwe, u chenda inkulo yakwe, mi chilumeli chakwe kachina intuso.
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.
Ku chena ni ku sanyazahala kwa chilumeli havusu vwa Ireeza ni Ishetu njovu: Kutusa vasena veshavo ni mbwela mu vukavo vwavo, kuli vavalela kuvuvi vwe inkanda.
