James 2
1 My brethren, hold not the faith of our Lord of glory, Jesus Christ, with respect of persons.
Bhaholo bhane msasyesyetanye ulweteho lwa Gosi uYesu uKilisti, Ugosi wituntumu, hwa ganililizye abhantu bhamo.
2 For if there come into your assembly a man with a gold ring, in splendid apparel, and there come in also a poor man in vile raiment,
Nkesho mntu omo ainjila muluwo ngano lwenyu akwete ipete iwe lihela na ompena wenenda amabhibhi,
3 and ye have respect to him that weareth the splendid apparel, and say, Sit thou here in a good place, and say to the poor man, Stand thou there, or, Sit under my footstool,
na mwalolesya husajile hasa ola awe hgala epa apinza “lakini mwamozya ola umpena,” “Awe amelela pala,” au hgala pansi yimanama gane.”
4 have ye not been partial among yourselves, and become judges with evil thoughts?
Eshi mwalongwanya mwenemwe, nabhe bhatazanyi bhene ensewo imbibhi?
5 Hearken, my beloved brethren. Did not God choose the poor as to the world to be rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he promised to them that love him?
Tejelezi, bhaholobhane bhaganwe, eshi Ungolobhe sagabhasaluye apena bhense abhe abhatawazi bhilweteho na apyane womwene wabhandalie bhabhagene?
6 but ye have despised the poor man. Do not the rich oppress you, and do not they drag you before the judgment-seats?
Lakini mubhasholanyenye apena! oshi saga bhabha hubhapela amayemba amwasaga bhewo bhahubhavuta whiboma?
7 Do not they blaspheme the worthy name by which ye are called?
Saga bhatabhazi bhabhahuliliga itawa lila ilinza mbalyo hwelyo mkwizwilwe?
8 If indeed ye fulfill the royal law, according to the scripture, “Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself,” ye do well.
Hata shesho muhutimizya indajizyo ye shemwene hansi sisimbiliwilwe mmandishi, “Ubhahugane wapanshenje waho hansi awe wenewe,” mwomba shinza.
9 But if ye have respect to persons, ye commit sin, and are convicted by the law as transgressors.
Eshi nkamwaganilizya abhantu bhamo, mwomba mbibhi, mlongwa ni ndajizyo abhe bhavunzi ndajizyo.
10 For whoever hath kept the whole law, and yet hath offended in one point, hath become guilty of all.
Wowonti watimizya indajizyo yonti, na bado ambomela pinukuta yeka tou, alinanongwa ya vunze ndajizyo yonti!
11 For he who said, “Do not commit adultery,” said also, “Do not kill.” Now if thou commit no adultery, yet if thou kill, thou hast become a transgressor of the law.
Afwatanaje “Ungolobhe ayanjile Ugajegone,” na ashengwa yoyo pia ayanjile, “Usahibhe.” Nkasaga ugona na sengwa, ila ugoga, ubudulanyenye indajizyo ya Ngolobhe.
12 So speak, and so do, as they that shall be judged by the law of liberty.
Esho yangaji na hweteshe hansi bhala bhabhali pepe alongwe nindajizyo yiwaushe.
13 For the judgment shall be without mercy to him that showed no mercy. Mercy glorieth against judgment.
Huje alongwe huhwenza bila onkombo wha bhala bhasagabhalini nkombo. Enkombo ihujietema pamwanyayi longwi.
14 What doth it profit, my brethren, if any one say that he hath faith, and have not works? Can his faith save him?
Huli uwinza wele, bhaholo bhane, nkesho umuntu ayanga aiga indinalo ulweteho, lakini saga alinimbombo?
15 If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food,
Hansi uholo wishilume au wesheshe ahanza amenda au ishalye shikila lisiku,
16 and one of you say to them, Depart in peace, be warmed and be filled, notwithstanding ye give them not the things needful for the body, what doth it profit?
na umntu wka mwikundi lyenyu amozya, “Bhalaji hutenganu, mbhale mote umoto na mulye ishinza,” saga muhubhapela ivinlu vivifaa gomble, eyo isaidilanshi?
17 So also faith, if it hath not works, is dead in itself.
Shesho ulweteho lwene, nkabaga luli ni mbombo.” lufwiye.
18 But some one will say, Thou hast faith, and I have works; show me thy faith without works, and I will show thee my faith by my works.
Asele muntu omo wezizye ayanje ulinalo ulweteho, nane indinazyo imbombo, “Ndolesye olweteho lwaho pasagapali imbombo, nane imbahulolesye ulweteho lwane humbombo zyane.
19 Thou believest that God is one; thou doest well; the demons also believe, and tremble.
Uhweteha aje huli Ungolobhe weka; uli sasa. Nape amazimu shesho gahweteha na yingane.
20 But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is idle?
Eshi uhwanza amanye awe wamuntu wazyanje, inamna sheleho ulweteho bila imbombo shasagaifaa?
21 Was not Abraham our father accepted as righteous through works, when he offered Isaac his son upon the altar?
Saga yubaba wetu uIbrahimu abhaziwilwe atabhale humbombo pafumizye umwana wakwe u Isaka pamwanyayi shieuto?
22 Thou seest that faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect.
Mulola abhe ulweteho lwake lwawombile imbombo ni mbombozyakwe, na humbombo yakwe, ulweteho lwakwe lwafishiye amakusudi agakwe.
23 And the scripture was fulfilled, which saith, “Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned to him for righteousness;” and he was called the friend of God.
Amazyi gatimiye gagayanga, “Ubrahamu amweteshe Ungolobhe, nabhaziwe abhe muntu wa tabhale, “Esho Ubrahamu akwiziwilwe kondanu wa Ngolobhe.
24 Ye see that by works a man is accounted as righteous, and not by faith only.
Mwalola aje humbombo umuntu abhaziwa atabhale, na siyo hwelwe teho tou.
25 And in like manner was not also Rahab the harlot accounted as righteous through works, when she received the messengers, and sent them out another way?
Na shesho, na sagali yu Rahabu ola wabhazwile atabhale humbombo, pabhakaribisizye abhajumbe na hubhatwala humbafa nara iyenje?
26 For as the body without the spirit is dead, so also faith without works is dead.
Na hansi ubele nkasaga guli nu pepo gufwiye, shesho ulweteho bila imbombo gafwiye.
