James 1
1 James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad, greeting.
Jemusi, mubelesi wa Leza a Mwami Jesu Kkilisito, kumusyobo yabantu ili kkumi ayibili imwayikide munyika: Injuzyo.
2 Count it all joy, my brethren, when ye fall into various temptations;
Zyoonse muzibweze mbuli lukondo, nobakwesu, awo nimuyoswanana amakatazyo asiyenesiyene.
3 knowing that the trying of your faith worketh endurance.
Mulizi kuti kusunkwa kwalusyomo lwanu kuzyala banangatizi.
4 But let endurance have a perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting in nothing.
Amulekele bunangatizi, bumaninsye mulimo wabo kuchitila kuti mukonzye kukkomena akumaninina, kamuta chibuli chintu.
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.
Pesi kuti umwi wanu kayanda busongo, amumuleke abukkumbile kuli Leza, ooyo uupa chakwangunuka alimwi katasandukili pe kulabo bakkumbila, alimwi uyomupa mbubo.
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.
Pesi amumuleke akumbile mukusyoma, kakutakwe kudoneka. Nkambo kufumbwa muntu uudoneka uli mbuli juwe mulwizi ilitontwa aluuwo alimwi kaliyumbwa kumabbazu woonse.
7 For let not that man think that he shall receive anything from the Lord,
Nkambo muntu oyo tayelede kuyeya kuti uyotambula chimwi chintu kuzwa ku Mwami.
8 a double-minded man as he is, unstable in all his ways.
Muntu ulobo ulamizezo-ibili, utakkalinkene pe munzila zyakwe zyonse.
9 Let the brother of low degree glory in that he is exalted;
Mumuleke mukwesu wachiimo chilaansi apakale muchuno chakwe chaajulu,
10 but the rich, in that he is made low; because as the flower of the grass he will pass away.
pesi imuvubi muchuno chakwe chilaansi, nkambo uzoyinda mbuli dubaluba lyalusaka musokwe.
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.
Nkambo izuba lizwa akupya akutenta alimwi kuyumya masokwe idubaluba lilaloka, alimwi bubotu bwalyo ngabwamana. Muli njiyeyi inzila, muntu uvubide uyoyangala akkati kalweendo lwakwe.
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.
Ulilongezezegwe oyo unangatila muchindi chamasunko. Nkambo aazunda masunko uyotambula ipande lyabuumi, eelyo lyakasyomezegwa aabo bayanda Leza.
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.
Kutakabi muntu utakaambe kuti akusunkwa, “Ndasungwa a Leza.” nkambo Leza tasunkwi achibi, alimwi we lwakwe tasunki muntu.
14 But each one is tempted when by his own lust he is led away and enticed;
Pesi umwi muntu usunkwa akupeekezya kwakwe, ikumukwelela kule akumweneena.
15 then lust, having conceived, bringeth forth sin, and sin, when completed, bringeth forth death.
Musule aakuti impeekezyo yakomena mbuli chibi nichakakomena, chizyala lufu.
16 Do not err, my beloved brethren.
Tamweneenwi, nobakwesu bayandwa.
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.
Chonse chipo chibotu achoonse chipo chimaninide chizwa kujulu. Chiiza ansi kuzwa kuli Wisi wa mimuni. Kulinguwe takukwe kusanduka na imwenzule nkambo kakuchengunuka.
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.
Leza wakasala kuti tuzyalwe ajwi lyakasimpe, kuchitila kuti tube musyobo wamichelo mitanzi kuzintu zyoonse nzyakalenga.
19 Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath.
Mulichizi echi, nobakwesu bayandwa: amuchite kuti muntu woonse afwambane kumvwa, anelele kukwambuula, anelele kukunyema.
20 For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God.
Nkambo kunyema kwamuntu takumaninizyi bululami bwa Leza.
21 Wherefore put off all filthiness, and excess of wickedness, and receive with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls.
Nkinkako amugwisye woonse mawunda mawunda aabulewusi busesemya bwazibi. Mubuntu amutambule ijwi litanyukulwi, eelyo likkonzya kuvuma myuuya yenu.
22 But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.
Amube bantu bachita zyamba ijwi pepe kuba baswilizi biyo, kamuli kulyena.
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;
Nkambo kuti muntu kamvwa biyo ijwi pesi katalichiti, uli mbuli muntu ulyeba busyu bwakwe mbububumbidwe muchiboniboni.
24 for he beholds himself, and goes away, and immediately forgets what manner of man he was.
Ulalyeeba aazwa aawo ayende alimwi alube mpawawo kuti wali biyeni.
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.
Pesi muntu uulanga kabotu mumulawu walwangunuko, alimwi kayinkilila kunembo akuchita mbubobo, katali sikumvwa biyo uuluba, ooyu muntu ulalongezegwa kunchito zyakwe.
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.
Kuti umwi muntu kaliyeya kuti ngwabuna Leza, pesi katazyotololi lulimi lwakwe, weena moyo wakwe, alimwi nzyasyoma nzyabuyo.
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.
Ilusyomo lusalala lutakwe kampenda kunembo lya Leza aa Taata ngayakuti: kugwasya bamuchaala abamukabafu kuli zibakatazya, akuliyobola ilwabo beni chakutaba akampenda nikaba komwe kaansi.
