< 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 n'tumwa ghwa K'yara ni ghwa Bwana Yesu Kristu kwa makabila kumi ni mabhele ghaghatabhwanyiki, salaam.
2 Count it all joy, my brothers, when you encounter various trials,
Mubhalangayi kujha ni furaha nesu bhalongo bhangu, pamwip'eta mu malombosi agha ni agha,
3 knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance.
mkamanyayi kujha kujaribibhwa kwa imani jha muenga jhikabhapela bhuvumilivu.
4 Let endurance have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.
Mubhulekayi bhuvumilivu ujhikamilisiajhi mbombo jha muene, kwamba mubhwesiajhi kukomala kinofu, bila kup'ongh'okibhwa mu lyolyoha.
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.
Lakini kama munu kati jha muenga ilonda hekima ajhisokayi kuhoma kwa K'yara ambajhe ipisya kwa bhunofu ni bila kujhwangila kwa bhanu bhabhakan'soka, ni kubhap, ela hekima.
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.
Lakini sokayi kwa imani bila bhuogha kwa kujha jhaajhe ni kubheka shaka ndo kama manyegha mu bahari ghitolibhwa ni mp'ongo khoni ni okhu.
7 For let that person not think that he will receive anything from the Lord.
Kwa hakika munu ojhu asifikiriri kwamba ibetakujhop'elibhwa liombi lya muene kuhoma kwa Bwana;
8 He is a double-minded person, unstable in all his ways.
munu ojho ajhe ni nia sibhele: imaralepi mu njela sya muene syoha.
9 But let the brother in humble circumstances glory in his high position;
Bhalongo bhangu bhab'onji bhitondeka kwifuna mu kujhema kwa muene kunani,
10 and the rich, in that he is made humble, because like the flower in the grass, he will pass away.
Bhwakati bhobhuobhu ndongo tajiri mu bhunyenyekefu bhwa muene kwa ndabha ibetakubhoka kama liua lya kondeni mu n'gonda lya ip'eta.
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.
Lijobha lihoma ni joto lya kulalisya kujhomesya mimea, ni maua ghijhoma ghibina ni unofu bhuake bhwifwa. Fefuefu bhanu matajiri bhibetakuchakala pagati mu mbombo sya bhene.
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.
Abarikibhu munujhola jhaisindamala majaribu, kwa kujha baada jha kushinda lijaribu e'lu, ibetakujhamb'elela litaji lya uzima, ambajho jhiahidibhu kwa bhala bhabhan'ganili K'yara.
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.
Munu jhajhioha ilondekalepi, kujobha paijaribibhwa, “Lijaribu e'le lihomela kwa K'yara.” Kwandabha K'yara ijaribibibhwa lepi ni uovu, ni K'yara muene akan'jaribu jhejhioha.
14 But each one is tempted, when he is drawn away by his own lust, and enticed.
Khila munu ijaribibhwa ni tamaa sya muene sibhibhi syasikan'shawishi ni kumfuta patali.
15 Then the lust, when it has conceived, bears sin; and the sin, when it is full grown, brings forth death.
Ndiponbaada jha tamaa jha dhambi kup'etenda luleme dhambi jhihogoleka, ni baada jha dhambi kukomala kinofu, jhimalikila mu mauti.
16 Do not be deceived, my beloved brothers.
Bhalango bhangu bhapendwa, msikofibhu.
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.
Khilanzawadi jhajhele jhinofu ni khila zawadi jhajhikamilifu jhihomela kunani, jhiselela pasi kuhoma kwa Dadi ghwa nuru. Kabhele ibadilikalepi kama kivuli kyakibadilika.
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.
K'yara atusalili kutusalili kutupela tete uzima kwa lilobhi lya bhukueli, ili kwamba tubhwesiajhi kujha kama uzao bhwa kuanza miongoni mwa fiumbe fya muene.
19 This you know, my beloved brothers. But let every person be swift to hear, slow to speak, and slow to anger;
Mumanyili e'le bhalongo bhangu bhaganwa, khila mmonga ilondeka kujha njojhofu ghwa kup'eteka na sio njojhofu ghwa kulongela bhwala kudada,
20 for human anger does not produce the righteousness of God.
kwa kujha ligoga lya mwanadamu libhwesyalepi kubhomba mbombo jha K'yara.
21 Therefore, putting away all filthiness and overflowing of wickedness, receive with humility the implanted word, which is able to save your souls.
Henu mubhekayi patali uchafu bhwa dhambi ni bhubhibhi bhuoha bhwabhujhele mahali poha, ni kwa bhunyenyekevu mulijhambolelayi lilobhi lyalipandibhu mugati mwa muenga, ambalyo lijhele ni bhuwesu bhwa kuokola roho sya muenga.
22 But be doers of the word, and not only hearers, deluding your own selves.
Mulitiajhi lilobhi, msilipeleki tu mwikikifya nafsi sya jhomu mwibhene.
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;
Kwa kujha kama jhehioha jhaakalipeleka lilobhi bila kulibhonibela mbombo ndo sabhwa ni munu jhaikilola pamihu pa muene halisi mu kiibho.
24 for he sees himself, and goes away, and immediately forgets what kind of person he was.
Ikitathimini pamihu pa muene, na ikwilotela ni baada jha muda udebe ijhebhelela kyaiwaningana.
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.
Bali munu jhola jha ikilanga kwa uangalifu bhwa sheria kamili sheria jha uhuru, ni kujhendelela kujhitii sio kwandabha muene mp'elekesiaji jhaiheb helela, munu ojho ibeta kubarikibhwa paibhomba.
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.
Ikajhelayi munu jhejhioha ibetakufikirila muene kujha ndo munu ghwa dini, lazima ibhwesyalepi kubhutabhwala lumilu lwa muene, akabhukofya muoyo bhwa muene ni dini jha muene ndo Pat'op'o.
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.
Dini jhinofu na jhajhibeli kuharibibhwa palongolo pa K'yara ghwitu ni Dadi ndo ejhe: kubhatangatila bhakhebha ni bhajane mu malombosi gha bhene, ni kwilenda bhene ni bhufisadi bhwa dunia.
