James 4
1 Whence are wars and whence are fightings among you? Are they not hence, from your lusts that war in your members?
Obhulemo na inyogele agati yemwe ebhisoka aki? Bhitakusoka mu bhuligisi bhwemwe obhubhibhi bhunu obhuleta lilemo munda ye likofyanya lyemwe?
2 Ye lust, and have not; ye kill, and earnestly covet, and cannot obtain; ye fight and war. Ye have not, because ye ask not;
Omuligila chinu mutanacho. Omwita nimubhilimya chinu mutakutula kubha nacho. Omulwana no kuyomba, na mutakubhona kulwokubha mutamusabhwa Nyamuanga.
3 ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts.
Omusabhwa mutakuyanwa kulwokubha omusabhwa ingulu ya magambo mabhibhi, koleleki mubhone okubhikolela kwo bhuligisi bhwemwe bhubhibhi.
4 Ye adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? Whoever therefore chooseth to be a friend of the world, becometh an enemy of God.
Emwe abhalomesi! Mtakumenyati obhusani ne chalo ni bhusoko na Nyamuanga? Kulwejo, wonawona oyo kabha musani we chalo kabha kabha omwenene musoko wa Nyamuanga.
5 Do ye think that the scripture saith in vain, “Zealously doth the Spirit, which made its abode in us, long for us”?
Angu omwitogelati amandiko gatana nsonga ganu agaikati Omwoyo gunu gutehye munda yeswe ali no lwiso muno ingulu yeswe?
6 but he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, “God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace to the humble.”
Nawe Nyamuanga kasosha echigongo chamfu, “Nyamuanga atakumwikilisha owechigundu, nawe kamuyana echigongo omwololo,”
7 Submit yourselves therefore to God; resist the Devil, and he will flee from you.
Kulwejo, mwisoshe ku Nyamuanga. Muyajane na shetani kabhilima okusoka kwimwe.
8 Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners, and purify your hearts, ye double-minded.
Mwiilile ayeyi na Nyamuanga, omwene ona kabhafogelela emwe ona. Mwoshe amabhoko gemwe, emwe abhebhibhibhi, na mwiyoshe emyoyo jemwe, emwe abho
9 Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep; let your laughter be turned into mourning, and your joy into heaviness.
bhwiganilisha bhubhili. Mujubhe, mukunge, no kulila! Muindule okuseka kwemwe kubha kujubha no kusandabha kwemwe kubhe kulila.
10 Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he will exalt you.
Mwikee emwe abhene imbele ya Latabhugenyi, no mwene kabhemusha ingulu.
11 Speak not against one another, brethren; he that speaketh against his brother, or judgeth his brother, speaketh against the law, and judgeth the law; but if thou judge the law, thou art not a doer of the law, but a judge.
Mutalomanaga emwe kwemwe, muili. Omunu unu kaloma atasikene no mwana wabho, nolo okumulamula omwana wabho, kaloma atasikene ne bhilagilo bhya Nyamuanga. Mukachilamula echilagilo, mutachilubha echilagilo, nawe omuchilamula.
12 One is the Lawgiver and Judge, he who is able to save, and to destroy; but who art thou, that judgest thy neighbor?
Ni umwila unu kasosha ebhilagilo no mulamusi, Nyamuanga, omwene unu anobhutulo bhwo kuchungula no kusimagisha. Awe uli niga unu oumulamula omwikashanya wao?
13 Come now, ye that say, To-day and to-morrow we will go into such a city, and spend a year there and traffic, and get gain,
Mtegeleshe, bhanu omwaikati, “Lelo nolo mutondo echigenda mumusi gunu, nchikaleyo omwaka gwona, nchikola ebyasara, nchibhona amatundo.”
14 (whereas ye know not what will be on the morrow; for what is your life? Ye are even a vapor, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away; )
Niga unu kamenya chinu agamutondo, no bhulame bhwemwe niki? Kulwokubha omususana noluo olubhonekana kwo mwanya mufuyi ndwiya ndubhula.
15 instead of saying, If the Lord will, we shall both live and do this or that;
Akili mwakaikilati, “labha Latabhugenyi akenda, echilama nokukola chinu na chiliya.”
16 but now ye glory in your boastings. All such glorying is evil.
Nawe woli omwikuya ingulu yo bhwiganilisha bhwemwe. Obhwikuyi bhwona obhwo ni bhubhibhi.
17 Therefore to him that knoweth how to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin.
Kulwejo, kumwene unu kamenya okukola agekisi nawe atagakola, kumwene oyo ni chikayo.
