James 2
1 My brothers, do not hold the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ of glory with partiality.
Bhaakulupalila ajangunji, nkwaakulupalilanga Bhakulungwa bhetu a Yeshu Kilishitu, Bhakulungwa bha ukonjelo nnakolanje luagu ku bhandu.
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;
Monaga mundu ajinjilaga nnyumba ja kwaajujila a Nnungu, ali awete lupete lwa shaabhu na nngubho ya konja na kabhili ajinjilaga mundu nkulaga awete manyangui,
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."
ibhaga mumposhelangaga ukoto awete ngubho ya konja nninkutinji, “Mmwe kuntame pa mmbone pano,” na nkulaga jula nikummalanjila, “Ugwe ukajime apala” eu, “Kuutame pai tome na makongono gangu,”
4 Have you not discriminated among yourselves, and become judges with evil thoughts?
bhuli, lwenelo nngabha luagu, na kwa gwene utendego, ng'aniyo yenunji nngabha impelenje kutenda ukumu jangali ja mmbone?
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?
Bhaakulupalilanga ajangunji bhungumpinganga, mpilikananje! Bhuli, a Nnungu bhangaagulanga bhaalaga bha pa shilambolyo pano bhakolanje shipato shikulungwa nngulupai, na bhaposhelanje upalume gwa a Nnungu gubhaalajilenje bhakwaapinganga?
6 But you have dishonored the poor person. Do not the rich oppress you, and personally drag you before the courts?
Ikabheje mmanganyanji nnakwanyegayanga bhaalaga! Bhuli matajili bhakakummonelanga nikumpelekanga ku bhaukumula?
7 Do not they blaspheme the honorable name by which you are called?
Bhuli nngabha bhobho pebho bhakulitukananga lina lya mmbone lya a Yeshu Kilishitu limpegwilwenje?
8 However, if you fulfill the royal law, according to the Scripture, "You are to love your neighbor as yourself," you do well.
Nkamulilangaga shalia ja upalume gwa a Nnungu malinga shijibhoneka Mmajandiko ga ukonjelo kuti, “Mumpinje ntami nnjenu malinga shinkwiipinga mmayene,” shintendanje ya mmbone.
9 But if you show partiality, you commit sin, being convicted by the law as transgressors.
Ikabheje ntendangaga luagu mmumanyanje kuti nnatendanga shambi, na shalia jinakunng'ukumulanga kuti nshilebhanga.
10 For whoever keeps the whole law, and yet stumbles in one point, he has become guilty of all.
Pabha mundu jojowe akamulila shalia yowe, alekaga jimo, bhai penepo alebhile kwa yowe.
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.
Pabha bhene bhalugwile kuti, “Nnalabhelabhe,” ni bhobho pebho bhalugwile kuti, “Nnabhulaje.” Kwa nneyo nkali nkalabhelabhe, ikabhe nshibhulaga, penepo nnebhile shalia.
12 So speak, and so do, as those who are to be judged by a law of freedom.
Bhai, mmeleketanje na tenda malinga bhandu bhapinga ukumulwanga na shalia jikwaapanganga bhandu ungwana.
13 For judgment is without mercy to him who has shown no mercy. Mercy triumphs over judgment.
Pabha ukumu ja a Nnungu jikakummonela shiya mundu jwangali shiya kuka mwine. Ikabheje shiya sha a Nnungu shinapunda ukumu.
14 What good is it, my brothers, if someone says he has faith, but has no works? Can faith save him?
Bhaakulupalila ajangunji, ipwaa nndi mundu abheleketaga kuti akwete ngulupai, ikabheje gwangali kwaakunda a Nnungu? Bhuli jene ngulupaijo shijikombole kuntapula?
15 And if a brother or sister is poorly clothed and may be lacking in daily food,
Ibhaga nnongo nnjenu jwangali nngubho eu shalya,
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?
shiipwae nndi mundu jwa munkumbi gwenunji annugulilaga kuti, “Jenda kwa ulele, ukajote moto na jukuta,” gwangali kumpa indu yatubhilwe, shiipwae nndi?
17 Even so faith, if it has no works, is dead in itself.
Nneyo peyo na ngulupai gwangali kwaakunda a Nnungu, jiwile.
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.
Ikabheje mundu juna shaabhelekete, “Mmwe nkwete ngulupai na nne ngwete itendi!” Ayaga, nnanguye ngulupai yenu gwangali itendi, na nne shininnanguye ngulupai yangu kwa itendi.
19 You believe that God is one. You do well. The demons also believe, and shudder.
Mmwe nnikulupalila kuti a Nnungu ni bhamo, bhai ni sha mmbone! Ikabheje nkali mashetani galikulupalila na ungumila na jogopa.
20 But do you want to know, foolish person, that faith apart from works is useless?
Mmwe mmajinga, nnapinga nnangulwe kuti, ngulupai gwangali itendi jiwile?
21 Wasn't Abraham our father justified by works, in that he offered up Isaac his son on the altar?
Bhuli, atati a Bhulaimu bhangashemwa bhakwete aki kwa shitendi shabho, pene pubhanshoshiye mwana gwabho Ishaka pa shitala pala?
22 You see that faith worked with his works, and by works faith was perfected;
Nnilola, kuti ngulupai jishinkutenda liengo pamo na shitendi shabho, na ngulupai jila gujitimilile kwa itendi ila.
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.
Kwa nneyo gugatimilile Majandiko ga kuti, “A Bhulaimu bhashinkwaakulupalila a Nnungu, na ngulupai yabho guyaatendile kukola aki, kwa nneyo gubhashemilwe ambwiga ajabho a Nnungu.”
24 You see that a person is justified by works and not by faith alone.
Bhai nnilolanga kuti mundu anapegwa aki, kwa ligongo lya itendi yakwe na nngabha kwa ngulupaipe.
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?
Nneyo peyo puyaliji kwa a Laabhu lijajana bhala, bhuli bhangapegwa aki kwa shitendi shabho, pene pubhaaposhelenje bhaanushishiya nikwaatolosheyanga kwa mpanda guna?
26 For as the body apart from the spirit is dead, even so faith apart from works is dead.
Kwa nneyo malinga shiilu gwangali mbumu shiwile, nneyo peyo na ngulupai gwangali itendi jiwile.
