James 1
1 James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are in the Diaspora: Greetings.
Yakobo mutugwa wang'wi Tunda nu mukolo u Yesu Kilisto, kundugu makumi abiile nasapatiye milamu.
2 Count it all joy, my brothers, when you encounter various trials,
Muale kutula ulowa nuwidu, aluna ane, nimukukiila munzago niyakununikunu.
3 knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance.
Meze mulingile kugeng'wa kuuhueli wanyu mepegwaugimya.
4 Let endurance have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.
Uleki, ugimya ukondye imilimo akwe, kina mulume kunonelya kisa, singa muuleke kuhielwa lehi.
5 But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all generously and without finding fault; and it will be given to him.
Kang'we ukole muntu ntogeela anyu utakile upolo, walompe kupuma kung'wi Tunda, nuepumya kuukende hangi singa wikenela kuehi niimulompa hangi wiapeza upolo.
6 But let him ask in faith, without any doubting, for the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, driven and tossed by the wind.
Ingi lompa kuuhueli, uleke kuailya, kunsoko nuiiailya, wipyanigwe nimaingu nenyanza wiholwa nung'wega nukugung'wa kunu nukunu.
7 For let that person not think that he will receive anything from the Lord.
Kutai umuntu angauyu waleke kusegeela kina ilompi lakwe lukusingeligwa nu mukulu.
8 He is a double-minded person, unstable in all his ways.
Muntu uyu ukete masigo abiili, singa ukandanie munzila yakwe yehi.
9 But let the brother in humble circumstances glory in his high position;
Muluna numuluna inonee kikulya kunsoko akimekakung'wakwe migulia,
10 and the rich, in that he is made humble, because like the flower in the grass, he will pass away.
matungo yayoyayo muluna numugole kukiila kisimia kung'wakwe, kunsoko wikahega anga umpumbulu nuamung'wapo mumugunda nukeile.
11 For the sun arises with the scorching wind, and withers the grass, and the flower in it falls, and the beauty of its appearance perishes. So also will the rich person fade away in his pursuits.
Ilyoa litoloka nuupiu wikasonsa nukumisa mimea niampumbulu igweza nuuza wakwe wikuza. Uu uu niantu niagoli izizebipa mumilimo.
12 Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial, for when he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life, which he promised to those who love him.
Ukembetilwe umuntu numugimia mumageng'wa kunsoko anga wadula ingegwa wikasingilia ngala naupanga, naulagile kuawa niamuloilwe Itunda.
13 Let no one say when he is tempted, "I am tempted by God," for God cannot be tempted by evil, and he himself tempts no one.
Muntu wihi shainonee kutambula nukole migeng'wa, ingegwa ile lipumile kung'wi Tunda. Kunsoko Itunda shanga wigeng'wa nimabe, ni Tunda ung'wenso shawimugema wihi.
14 But each one is tempted, when he is drawn away by his own lust, and enticed.
Kila muntu wigeng'wa ninsulakwe nimupepelya nukumuluta kupumila kuli.
15 Then the lust, when it has conceived, bears sin; and the sin, when it is full grown, brings forth death.
Papo anga insula amilandu ikenke iimbi, umulandu wituga sunga anga umulandu anga wakonda lukukulu wihiela muusha.
16 Do not be deceived, my beloved brothers.
Aluna ane alowa lekikikongi.
17 All generous giving and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom can be no variation, nor turning shadow.
Kela izawadi niiza hange kela izawadi nikondanie kupuma kilunde, isima pehi kupuma kung'wa kung'wa Tata nuawelu, kwee shawikailika anga umulule nuipeloka.
18 Of his own will he brought us forth by the word of truth, that we should be a kind of first fruits of his creatures.
Itunda ausague kuupa use upanga kulukani la tai, kuhume kutula anga kiang'wandyo kuutugwa muintu yakwe.
19 This you know, my beloved brothers. But let every person be swift to hear, slow to speak, and slow to anger;
Mulengile ite aluna ane alowa. Kela ung'wao yemunonee watule mupepelyi kija, waleke kukaya kuligitia nukutaka.
20 for human anger does not produce the righteousness of God.
Kunsoko utaki waantu shangaukituma itai ang'wi Tunda.
21 Therefore, putting away all filthiness and overflowing of wickedness, receive with humility the implanted word, which is able to save your souls.
Kuitegwa iki kule impaala yamilandu nuubi wehinuukole kila upande lusingilyi kwa kusima ulukani nulutemewe mukateanyu uhumi kuuguna inkolo yanyu.
22 But be doers of the word, and not only hearers, deluding your own selves.
Lugombi ulukani muleke ukija du, mukikongela munkolo yangu unyenye.
23 For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like someone looking at his natural face in a mirror;
Kunsoko wehi nukija, wahite kulitumila umilimo wihanganga umuntu nuwigoza uusu wakwe uwenso mukioo.
24 for he sees himself, and goes away, and immediately forgets what kind of person he was.
Wegema uusu wakwe, wekalongola matungo makupe wakiwaa neimpyani.
25 But he who looks into the perfect Law of freedom, and continues, not being a hearer who forgets, but a doer of the work, this person will be blessed in what he does.
Inge umuntu uyu nuigoza kikendegeela milago nilikami nseigwe, ilago lawidesi, nukulongoleka kugomba, singa kunsoka noanso miji nuewa, umuntu nuanso ukukembetwa nukituma.
26 If anyone thinks himself to be religious while he does not control his tongue, but deceives his heart, this one's religion is worthless.
Anga umuntu wihi wakusige ung'wenso kuite muntu wikumbiko. Hangi shuzepeeye ululime lakwe wikongela inkolo akwe nikumbeko lakwe nikanda.
27 Pure religion and undefiled before our God and Father is this: to visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained by the world.
Ikumbiko niza nigila uubee ntongela ang'wi Tunda witu nu Tata ingi sile. Kuaailya ialekwa nao niashewe niagoha ao mulwago lao, nukisunga ienso nuube wihi.
