James 2
1 My brothers, do not hold the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ of glory with partiality.
Achalongo achinjangu, iŵaga nkwakulupilila Ambuje ŵetu Che Yesu Kilisito, Ambuje ŵa ukulu, nkakola lusagu kwa ŵandu kwa kwalola ku meeso.
2 For if someone with a gold ring, in fine clothing, comes into your synagogue, and a poor person in filthy clothing also comes in;
Tujileje, mundu jumo awete pete jajikolochekwe kwa sahabu ni iwalo yakusalala, akwinjila mu nyuumba jenu ja kupopelela, nombe akwinjila mundu jwa usauchi jwana iwalo yakuwisala.
3 and you pay special attention to the one who wears the fine clothing, and say, "Sit here in a good place;" but you tell the poor person, "Stand there," or "Sit by my footstool."
Iŵaga ŵanyamwe nkunchimbichisya jwelejo jwawete iwalo yakusalala ni kunsalila “Ntameje apano pa chitengu chambone,” nambo ajula jwa usauchi nkunsalila, “Mwe, njimeje pelepo, pane ntameje paasi,”
4 Have you not discriminated among yourselves, and become judges with evil thoughts?
ana lwele ngaŵa lusagu ni kulamula ko ngakukuika ni nganisyo syangalumbana?
5 Listen, my beloved brothers. Did not God choose those who are poor in this world to be rich in faith, and heirs of the Kingdom which he promised to those who love him?
Mpilikanile achalongo achinjangu ŵakunonyelwa! Ana Akunnungu nganiŵasagula ŵakulaga ŵa pachilambo kuti aŵe ŵachipanje mu chikulupi ni kupochela umwenye uŵalanjile aŵala ŵakwanonyela?
6 But you have dishonored the poor person. Do not the rich oppress you, and personally drag you before the courts?
Nambo ŵanyamwe nkunnyosya jwausauchi. Ana ngaŵa ŵachipanje ŵakunliŵatilanga ni kunjausyanga pa nkungulu?
7 Do not they blaspheme the honorable name by which you are called?
Ana ngaŵa ŵanyawo ni ŵakulitukana alila liina lyambone lya Ambuje, jwati ŵanyamwe nli ŵandu ŵakwe?
8 However, if you fulfill the royal law, according to the Scripture, "You are to love your neighbor as yourself," you do well.
Naga isyene nkugajitichisya malajisyo gamakulu mu umwenye wa Akunnungu, gagali mu Malembelo ga Akunnungu gagakuti, “Munnonyele njenu jwammandichile mpela inkuti pakulinonyela mwasyene,” nkutendekanya yambone.
9 But if you show partiality, you commit sin, being convicted by the law as transgressors.
Nambo iŵaga nkutenda lusagu kwa ŵandu kwa kwalola ku meeso nkutenda sambi ni malajisyo ga Akunnungu gakulosya kuti nganingajitichisya.
10 For whoever keeps the whole law, and yet stumbles in one point, he has become guilty of all.
Pakuŵa mundu jwangakujitichisya likanyo limo mmalajisyo gose ga Akunnungu, chaaŵe ngakugajitichisya malajisyo gose.
11 For he who said, "Do not commit adultery," also said, "Do not commit murder." Now if you do not commit adultery, but murder, you have become a transgressor of the law.
Pakuŵa jwelejo juŵatite, “Nkatenda chikululu,” ni jujojo juŵatite, “Nkaulaga.” Iŵaga ngankutenda chigwagwa nambo nkuulaga, nkutema malajisyo.
12 So speak, and so do, as those who are to be judged by a law of freedom.
Nipele mmecheteje ni kupanganya mpela ŵandu ŵachalamulikwe malinga ni malajisyo gagakutuŵika ŵalechelelwe.
13 For judgment is without mercy to him who has shown no mercy. Mercy triumphs over judgment.
Pakuŵa Akunnungu ngaalosya chanasa pachiŵalamule ŵandu ŵangalosya chanasa. Nambo ŵaali ni chanasa ngasajogopa kulamulikwa ko.
14 What good is it, my brothers, if someone says he has faith, but has no works? Can faith save him?
Achalongo achinjangu, ana mundu akukola chichi asalaga kuti ngwete chikulupi nambo ngakuchilosya kwa ipanganyo yambone? Ana chikulupi cho chichikombole kwakulupusya?
15 And if a brother or sister is poorly clothed and may be lacking in daily food,
Tujileje, jwakukulupilila njetu jwannume pane jwankongwe nganakola chakuwala pane yakulya.
16 and one of you tells them, "Go in peace, be warmed and filled;" and yet you did not give them the things the body needs, what good is it?
Mundu jumo jwenu ŵaasalilaga, “Njaulanje kwa chitendewele nkajotele mooto ni kwikuta,” pangaapa iyasoŵile mu kutama ana chakole chichi?
17 Even so faith, if it has no works, is dead in itself.
Iyoyo peyo chikulupi pe iŵaga changali ipanganyo chiwile.
18 But someone will say, "You have faith, and I have works." Show me your faith without works, and I by my works will show you my faith.
Nambo mundu akombolaga kusala, “Mmwe nkwete chikulupi noneji ngwete ipanganyo.” Uneji chinyanje, “Munosye chikulupi chenu pangali ipanganyo noneji chinannosye chikulupi changu kwa ipanganyo yangu.”
19 You believe that God is one. You do well. The demons also believe, and shudder.
Mmwejo nkukulupilila kuti Akunnungu ali ŵamo, yambone. Nambo masoka nombego gakukulupilila iyoyo, nombego gakutetemela.
20 But do you want to know, foolish person, that faith apart from works is useless?
Mmwe jwakuloŵela! Ana nkusaka kuloswa kuti chikulupi changali chipanganyo chiwile?
21 Wasn't Abraham our father justified by works, in that he offered up Isaac his son on the altar?
Ana Atati ŵetu che Iblahimu ŵakundikwe uli ali ŵambone paujo pa Akunnungu? Ŵakundikwe kwa chipanganyo paŵantyosisye a Isaka mwanagwao pa chilisa.
22 You see that faith worked with his works, and by works faith was perfected;
Nkulola yakuti chikulupi chatesile masengo pamo ni chipanganyo chakwe ni chikulupi chatindimiswe kwa litala lya chipanganyo yakwe.
23 and the Scripture was fulfilled which says, "And Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness;" and he was called the friend of God.
Malembelo ga Akunnungu gala gamalile gagatite, “Che Iblahimu ŵankulupilile Akunnungu ni kwayele ŵakundikwe kuŵa ŵambone paujo pao.” Nombejo ŵaŵilanjikwe ambusanga jwa Akunnungu.
24 You see that a person is justified by works and not by faith alone.
Nkulola kuti mundu akukundikwa kuŵa jwambone paujo pa Akunnungu kwa ipanganyo nambo ngaŵa kwa chikulupi pe.
25 In like manner was not Rahab the prostitute also justified by works, in that she received the messengers, and sent them out another way?
Iyoyo peyo che Lahabu jwakulaŵalaŵa jula, ŵakundikwe jwambone paujo pa Akunnungu kwa ipanganyo yakwe paŵapochele ŵakusosasosa ni kwakoposya paasa kwa litala line.
26 For as the body apart from the spirit is dead, even so faith apart from works is dead.
Mpela ila chiilu pangali mbumu cheewe, iyoyo peyo chikulupi pangali ipanganyo chiwile.
