Jacob 2
1 My brothers, do not hold the faith of our Lord Jesus (the) Messiah of glory with partiality.
Hama dzangu, kwete nerusarura muve nerutendo rwaIshe wedu Jesu Kristu wekubwinya.
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;
Nokuti kana muungano yenyu mukapinda murume ane mhete yegoridhe nenguvo inopenya, mukapindawo murombo ane nguvo yakasviba,
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."
imwi ndokutarira uyo wakapfeka nguvo inopenya; ndokuti kwaari: Iwe gara pano zvakanaka; ndokuti kumurombo: Iwe mira ipapo; kana: Gara pano pasi pechitsiko chetsoka dzangu;
4 Have you not discriminated among yourselves, and become judges with evil thoughts?
hamunawo kusarura mukati menyu pachenyu mukavawo vatongi vendangariro dzakaipa here?
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?
Inzwai, hama dzangu dzinodikanwa. Mwari haana here kusarudza varombo venyika ino, vakafuma parutendo, nevadyi venhaka yeushe hwaakavimbisa kune vanomuda?
6 But you have dishonored the poor person. Do not the rich oppress you, and personally drag you before the courts?
Asi imwi makazvidza murombo. Vafumi havakutsikiririi here, uye ndivo vanokukweverai kumatare?
7 Do not they blaspheme the honorable name by which you are called?
Ivo havanyombi zita rakanaka rakadanwa pamuri here?
8 However, if you fulfill the royal law, according to the Scripture, "You are to love your neighbor as yourself," you do well.
Kana zvirokwazvo muchizadzisa murairo weushe, zvinoenderana nerugwaro rwunoti: Ida wekwako sezvaunozvidaiwe, munoita zvakanaka;
9 But if you show partiality, you commit sin, being convicted by the law as transgressors.
asi kana mune rusarura, munoita chivi, munopwiswa nemurairo sevadariki.
10 For whoever keeps the whole law, and yet stumbles in one point, he has become guilty of all.
Nokuti ani nani anochengeta murairo wese, asi akagumburwa pane umwe, anova nemhosva kune yese.
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.
Nokuti iye wakati: Usaita upombwe; wakatiwo: Usauraya; zvino kana usingaiti upombwe, asi uchiuraya, wava mudariki wemurairo.
12 So speak, and so do, as those who are to be judged by a law of freedom.
Taurai saizvozvo uye itai saizvozvo, sevachazotongwa nemurairo werusununguko.
13 For judgment is without mercy to him who has shown no mercy. Mercy triumphs over judgment.
Nokuti kutonga kusina tsitsi ndekweasina kuita tsitsi; uye tsitsi dzinozvirumbidza pakukutonga.
14 What good is it, my brothers, if someone says he has faith, but has no works? Can faith save him?
Zvinobatsirei, hama dzangu, kana munhu achiti ane rutendo, asi asina mabasa? Rutendo urwu rwunogona kumuponesa here?
15 And if a brother or sister is poorly clothed and may be lacking in daily food,
Zvino kana hamarume kana hamakadzi yakashama uye achishaiwa kudya kwezuva rimwe nerimwe,
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?
umwe wenyu ndokuti kwavari: Ibvai murugare, mudziyirwe uye mugute; asi musingavapi zvinhu zvinodikanwa nemuviri, izvo zvinobatsirei?
17 Even so faith, if it has no works, is dead in itself.
Saizvozvowo rutendo, kana rwusina mabasa, rwakafa pacharwo.
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.
Asi umwe achati: Iwe une rutendo, neni ndine mabasa; ndiratidze rutendo rwako kunze kwemabasa, neni pamabasa angu ndichakuratidza rutendo rwangu.
19 You believe that God is one. You do well. The demons also believe, and shudder.
Iwe unotenda kuti kuna Mwari umwe; unoita zvakanaka; nemadhimoni anotenda uye anodedera.
20 But do you want to know, foolish person, that faith apart from works is useless?
Asi unoda kuziva here, haiwa dununu, kuti rutendo rwusina mabasa rwakafa?
21 Wasn't Abraham our father justified by works, in that he offered up Isaac his son on the altar?
Abhurahama baba vedu havana kunzi vakarurama kubva pamabasa here, vabaira mwanakomana wavo Isaka pamusoro pearitari?
22 You see that faith worked with his works, and by works faith was perfected;
Unoona kuti rutendo rwakabata pamwe nemabasa ake, uye kubva pamabasa rutendo rwakaperedzerwa here?
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.
Nerugwaro rukazadzisika rwunoti: NaAbhurahama wakatenda kuna Mwari, zvikaverengerwawo kwaari kuti ndiko kururama, akanziwo shamwari yaMwari.
24 You see that a person is justified by works and not by faith alone.
Naizvozvo munoona kuti munhu anonzi wakarurama kubva pamabasa, uye kwete kubva parutendo chete.
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?
Saizvozvowo naRakabhi chifeve haana kunzi wakarurama kubva pamabasa here, agamuchira vatumwa, nekuvabudisa neimwe nzira?
26 For as the body apart from the spirit is dead, even so faith apart from works is dead.
Nokuti semuviri pasina mweya wakafa, saizvozvowo rutendo rwusina mabasa rwakafa.
