James 2
1 My brothers, do not hold the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ of glory with partiality.
Vakwangu, kanzi mu wondi kwi intumelo ina kwa Simwine Jesu Kreste, Simwine we nkanya, kuketulula vantu vamwi ni kusa tenda vamwi hande.
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;
Mukuti zumwi muntu wi njila mwikopano yenu na zwete iseka lye gauda kwi munwe ni zi zwato zilotu, mi kwiza kwi njila injevwe yo zwete zi zwato zina ikwe.
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."
Haiva no lola ko zuna muntu yo zwete zi zwato zilotu ni kuta kuti, “Wi kale mu chivaka chi lotu,” kono ku mukwame we njevwe uti, “Zimane kuna,” kapa “Wikale ha fasi a' matende angu,”
4 Have you not discriminated among yourselves, and become judges with evil thoughts?
Kamuli atuli mukati kenu? Kachimwava muvatuli mu mihupulo yenu mivilala?
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?
Muteke, vakwangu vasakahala, kena kuti Ireeza ava keti va njemwe veinu inkanda kuva va fumite mwi' tumelo ni kuva vayoli va muvuso wa va sepisi kwa vana va musaka?
6 But you have dishonored the poor person. Do not the rich oppress you, and personally drag you before the courts?
Kono inwe muva nyefule va njevwe! Imi kanji vona vava mitwali ku chikota?
7 Do not they blaspheme the honorable name by which you are called?
Kahena nji vona va tuka izina ilotu limu wila kulili?
8 However, if you fulfill the royal law, according to the Scripture, "You are to love your neighbor as yourself," you do well.
Kono hanu, haiva wi zuziliza mulao wa chilena, ku amana ni mañolo, “Usake yo vambene naye sina moli sakila iwe umwine.” u tenda hande.
9 But if you show partiality, you commit sin, being convicted by the law as transgressors.
Kono haiva no saka vamwi vantu no ketulala vamwi, u chita chivi, imi u atulwa choku chola mulao.
10 For whoever keeps the whole law, and yet stumbles in one point, he has become guilty of all.
Iye yense yo kuteka mulao, linu haiva no chola mulao umwina chi wachola milao yonse.
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.
Iye ya vati, “Kanzi ulundi vusangu,” imi linu avati, “Kanzi wihahi.” Haiva no satendi vusangu, kono haiva niwi haya, chiwa va mucholi wa mulao.
12 So speak, and so do, as those who are to be judged by a law of freedom.
Linu u wambe sina nja va vete ni va atulwe cha mukwa wa mulao we ntukuluho.
13 For judgment is without mercy to him who has shown no mercy. Mercy triumphs over judgment.
Mi inkatulo ka ize ni kusena chishemo kwa vana va sana vava tondezi chi shemo. Chi shemo chizunda inkatulo.
14 What good is it, my brothers, if someone says he has faith, but has no works? Can faith save him?
Linu bulotu njovihi, vakwangu, haiva zumwi uta kuti wina intumelo, linu na sena musevezi? kana iyo intumelo mwi muhaza?
15 And if a brother or sister is poorly clothed and may be lacking in daily food,
Tute kuti unizalwa naye wa mukwame kamba wa mwankazi kazwete hande imi nasena zilyo ilyo' zuva.
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?
Tute kuti zumwi kwenu uta kuvali, “Muyende chenkozo, mutukutilwe mutukutilwe imi mwi kuta.” Haiva no savahi zintu zisakahala za muvili, vulotu njo vuhi?
17 Even so faith, if it has no works, is dead in itself.
Munzila iswana intumelo chayo, Haiva intumelo kaina musevezi, musevezi, ifwile.
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.
Niha kuva vulyo zumwi uwola ku wamba, wina intumelo, ime nina misevezi.” Nitondezi intumelo yako mi ime kani kutondezi intumelo yangu cha misevezi yangu.
19 You believe that God is one. You do well. The demons also believe, and shudder.
Uzumina kuti kwina Ireeza yenke; u panga nenza. Mi nanga madimona a zumina kuti, mi a chacha.
20 But do you want to know, foolish person, that faith apart from works is useless?
Musaka kwi ziva, mukwame wa chihole, mukuti intumelo isena misevezi kaina intuso?
21 Wasn't Abraham our father justified by works, in that he offered up Isaac his son on the altar?
Kana kuti Abrahama ishetu, kana ava chitwa yo sheyemi ka misevezi, che nako yava viki Isaka hi aletare?
22 You see that faith worked with his works, and by works faith was perfected;
Mu mbwene kuti intumelo iva sevezi ni misevezi yakwe, mi intumelo yakwe iva kuli cha misevezi 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.
Mi kuva izuzi likizwe chiva ñoletwe mwi nzwi chata kuti, “Abrahama ava zumini kwa Ireeza, mi ava valiwa yo shiyemi.” Imi ava sumpwa mulikani wa Ireeza.
24 You see that a person is justified by works and not by faith alone.
Mubwene kuti che misevezi muntu ava cheniswa cha misevezi insiñi che intumelo yo nke vulyo.
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?
Cha mukwa wina vulyo, Rahaba wa mushahi, ava chitwa yo shiyemi chi misevezi, cha nako ya va tambuli va tumiwa, mi ni kuva tumina che nzila ingi.
26 For as the body apart from the spirit is dead, even so faith apart from works is dead.
Sina muvili hau kauhana ku luhuho u file, mi intumelo mu ikalile haiva kaina misevezi ifwile
