James 1
1 James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad, greeting.
Nne Yakobho nili ntumwa jwa a Nnungu na jwa Bhakulungwa a Yeshu Kilishitu ngunakunnjandishilanga mmandunji bha makabhila likumi limo na gabhili mpwilinganishilenje nshilambolyo, shalamu jenunji.
2 Count it all joy, my brethren, when ye fall into various temptations;
Mmaakulupalilanga ajangunji nng'angalalanjepe punkulingwanga kwa mboteko ya kila namuna,
3 knowing that the trying of your faith worketh endurance.
pabha mmumanyinji kuti kulingwa kwa ngulupai jenunji kunapeleshela kwiipililila.
4 But let endurance have a perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting in nothing.
Kwiipililila kwenunji kumpanganje kushimilika na kutimilila nngulupai gwangali tubhilwa shindu shoshowe.
5 But if any one of you is wanting in wisdom, let him ask of God, who giveth to all liberally, and upbraideth not; and it will be given him.
Ikabheje mundu munkumbi gwenunji atubhilwaga na ng'aniyo ya lunda, abhajuje a Nnungu bhakwaapanganga bhandu bhowe kwa ntima gwa ntuka wala bhakaatumbala, najwalakwe shaapegwe.
6 But let him ask in faith, nothing doubting; for he that doubteth is like a wave of the sea driven by the wind and tossed.
Ikabheje ajuje alikulupalila gwangali lipamba lya jangulwa, pabha akwete lipamba anabha mbuti libhimbili lya mashi ga bhaali linokolwa na mbungo akuno na kukuno.
7 For let not that man think that he shall receive anything from the Lord,
Pabha mundu jwa nneyo anakulupalile kuti shaapate shindu koposhela kwa Bhakulungwa.
8 a double-minded man as he is, unstable in all his ways.
Mundu jwa ng'aniyo ibhili akakamula shindu shimo muitendi yakwe yowe.
9 Let the brother of low degree glory in that he is exalted;
Bhaakulupalilanga bhaalaga, bhaangalalanje pabha a Nnungu bhanakwaishimunji bhowe.
10 but the rich, in that he is made low; because as the flower of the grass he will pass away.
Na matajili bhaangalalanje pubhatuluywanga na a Nnungu, pabha nabhalabhonji shibhaobhanje malinga lilubha lya mukonde shilijumula niobha.
11 For the sun rose with its burning heat, and withered the grass, and its flower fell off, and the beauty of its appearance perished; so also will the rich man fade away in his ways.
Pabha lyubha libhalaga, linajumuya maamba na malubha gakwe ganawa na konja kwakwe kowe kunapela. Nneyo peyo na nkali mundu ashulushilwe indu shaapele nniengo lyakwe pemo.
12 Blessed is the man that endureth temptation; for when he is approved, he will receive the crown of life, which He promised to them that love him.
Mbaya mundu akwiiluma ntima alilingwa, pabha akombolaga shaapegwe upo ya gumi shibhalajile Bhakulungwa ku bhandu bhakwaapinganga.
13 Let no one when he is tempted, say, I am tempted by God; for God cannot be tempted with evil, and he tempteth no one.
Monaga mundu alingwaga, analugule kuti, “A Nnungu bhananinga.” Pabha a Nnungu bhakaalingwa na ilebho, na bhenebho bhakakunninga mundu.
14 But each one is tempted when by his own lust he is led away and enticed;
Ikabheje kila mundu analingwa, kwa nonyelwa na tembwa na ilokoli yakwe nnyene.
15 then lust, having conceived, bringeth forth sin, and sin, when completed, bringeth forth death.
Kwa nneyo shilokoli shipundaga shinabheleka shambi na shambi shikomalaga shinabheleka shiwo.
16 Do not err, my beloved brethren.
Bhaakulupalilanga ajangunji nkupingwanga, nnatembwanje!
17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the lights, with whom is no change, nor shadow from turning.
Kila shammbone shinkupegwa, na shoshowe shitimilile, kushikoposhela kunnungu, kwa Atati bhapeleshe shilangaya. Bhenebho bhakatendebhuka, numbe bhangali nkubho gwa tendebhukatendebhuka.
18 Of his own will he begot us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of first-fruits of his creatures.
Kwa pinga kwabho bhayeneuwe, nigubhatubhishile nndamo ja ambi kwa lilobhe lyabho lya kweli, nkupinga tubhe nnimbu gwa indu yabho ipengenywe.
19 Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath.
Bhaakulupalilanga ajangunji bhungumpinganga, nngamanyanje gegano. Bhai mundu abhe jwa minda kupilikanishiya na nngabha jwa minda kubheleketa na anabhe jwa tumbala shangu.
20 For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God.
Pabha mundu akwete nnjimwa, nngakombola kwaanonyeya a Nnungu.
21 Wherefore put off all filthiness, and excess of wickedness, and receive with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls.
Kwa nneyo mwiilekanje kwa taliya indu yowe ya nyata na itendi yangali ya mmbone, mposhelanje lilobhe libhishilwe mmitima jenunji, likombola kuntapulanga mitima jenunji.
22 But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.
Ikabheje ntendelanje liengo malobhe ga Nnungu na nngabha kupilikanilape, akuno nnikwiitembanga mmitima jenunji.
23 For if any one is a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like a man beholding his natural face in a glass;
Pabha mundu apilikana lilobhe gwangali tendela liengo, jwenejo pabha mbuti mundu akwiilola ku meyo kwake nshiyoo.
24 for he beholds himself, and goes away, and immediately forgets what manner of man he was.
Pabha ailolaga nijabhula, shangupe analibhala shikuli kumeyo kwakwe.
25 But he who looks into the perfect law of liberty, and remains there, being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man will be blessed in his deed.
Ikabheje mundu akujilola ukoto shalia jikamilishe, jikwaapanganga bhandunji ungwana nikujikagulila gwangali kulibhala shapilikene na tenda malinga shiikupinjikwa, bhai jwenejo itendi yakwe shiipate mboka ya a Nnungu.
26 If any one thinks that he is religious, and bridles not his tongue, but deceives his own heart, this man's religion is vain.
Ibhaga mundu aiganishiyaga kuti anakagulila dini, ikabheje akakombola kuluibhilila lulimi lwakwe ukoto, jwene mundujo dini jakwe jikapwaa.
27 Pure religion and undefiled before God, the Father, is this, to visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep one's self unspotted from the world.
Mundu akwete dini ja mmbone jibhoneka jangali ya nyata kwa a Tati a Nnungu ni ajuno, akwaajangutilanga bhanabhalekwa na bhashitenga nshilaje shabhonji na akwiiepuya na ya nyata ya pa shilambolyo pano.
