James 1
1 James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad, greeting.
Jakovo, muhikana we Ireeza ni wa Simwine Jesu Kresite, ku mishovo ikwanisa iyanza ni yovele ahasene: Ni lumelisa.
2 Count it all joy, my brethren, when ye fall into various temptations;
Mwihinde kiti ive kusanga, vakwangu, hamu hita mu matata mangi.
3 knowing that the trying of your faith worketh endurance.
Mwizi kuti kulikiwa kwe intumelo yenu kuleta ku lileta.
4 But let endurance have a perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting in nothing.
Musiye ku lileta ku maniniza misevezi ya teni, ili kuti muve vakulite luli ni ku maniniza, ili kuti sanzi muvuli chimwi.
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.
Kono heva zumi kwenu hasaka vutali, avu kumbile kwa Ireeza, iye yoha chavungi mi nasa kanani, mi kavu hewe.
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.
Kono mumu siye a kumbile mwi Itumelo, na sa hakanyehi chimwi.
7 For let not that man think that he shall receive anything from the Lord,
Imi yense yo hakanyeha u kola ili lindinda mwi wate lika vutizwa luhuho ni li zimbuluka feela. Cwale uzo muntu sanzi ahupuli kuti mwa wane chimi kwa Ireeza.
8 a double-minded man as he is, unstable in all his ways.
Muntu wina vulyo wina mihupulo yovele, kawondeki mwi nzila zakwe.
9 Let the brother of low degree glory in that he is exalted;
Misiye mwetu we njevwe alitembe ka chi tulo chikando chakwe,
10 but the rich, in that he is made low; because as the flower of the grass he will pass away.
kono muhumane ali tembe cha kulikokoveza kwa chitolo chakwe, Mukuti kafwe sina impalisa ya mwinkanda ina mulyani.
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.
Imi izuva lizwa niku hisa ni kuzumisa lyani. Impalisa iwa, mi vulotu vwayo vumani, che nzila iswana, muhumanehi mwa mannine ha kati kamusipili.
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.
Wina imbuyoti muntu yo lileta kwi ntantuvo. Mi hakumba intantuvo, ava tambuli mushukwe wa vuhalo, vuva sepiswe kwavo vasaka Ireeza.
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.
Muntu halikwa senzi ati, “Na likwa Ireeza,” Mukuti Ireeza kalikwa cha vuvi, Mi kaliki muntu.
14 But each one is tempted when by his own lust he is led away and enticed;
Kono muntu ni muntu ulikwa che ntakazo yakwe, imu kwita ni kumu chengelela.
15 then lust, having conceived, bringeth forth sin, and sin, when completed, bringeth forth death.
Linu intakazo haimu chunina, i zala chivi. Mi chivi ha chikula, chizala ifu.
16 Do not err, my beloved brethren.
Sanzi Mu chengwa, vakwangu va sakiwa.
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.
Impo i ndotu ni impo ina hande izwa kwiwulu. i keza hansi kwuzwa kwe shetu we seli. Imi khakwe kakwina kuchinca kapa munzunde vakeñi chaku sanduka.
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.
Ireeza ava keti kutuha kupepa cha linzwii lye niti, ili kuti mufuta muselo we ntazi muzintu zonse za vapangi.
19 Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath.
Mwizi izi, va kwangu vasakiwa: muntu ni muntu azuwe cha vuhweluhwelu, kusa hwela kuku wamba, kulyeha kuvenga.
20 For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God.
Kuvenga kwa muntu kaku sevezi ka kuluka kwa Ireeza.
21 Wherefore put off all filthiness, and excess of wickedness, and receive with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls.
chelyo ivaka musiye zina i kwe zonse, nichisina ko cha lunya. cha vuntu tu amuhele ka chishemo linzwii, liwola kuhaza luhuho lwetu.
22 But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.
Mutende zi lisaka linzwii isinyi ba lizuwa feela, kulichenga muvene.
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;
Mi heva zumi uzuwa linzwii kono kalitendisi, uswa uvu muntu yolilola muchimponi chifateho cha va pepwa kacho.
24 for he beholds himself, and goes away, and immediately forgets what manner of man he was.
Hamana kulivona uyenda kule mi haho uzivala mwekalile.
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.
Kono muntu yo lilola chentokomelo kamulao wa kulukuluha, mi uzwila havusu kutenda, isinyi kuzuwa vulyo ni kuzivala, uzu muntu mwa tonolwefazwe ke Inkezo zakwe.
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.
Heva zumwi uli hupuela kuti mulumeli, kono ka sikululi lulimwi lwakwe, u chenda inkulo yakwe, mi chilumeli chakwe kachina intuso.
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.
Ku chena ni ku sanyazahala kwa chilumeli havusu vwa Ireeza ni Ishetu njovu: Kutusa vasena veshavo ni mbwela mu vukavo vwavo, kuli vavalela kuvuvi vwe inkanda.
