James 2
1 My friends, are you really trying to combine faith in Jesus Christ, our glorified Lord, with discrimination?
Vanyalukolo Vango ulwakuva mkumwitika uMutwa ghwitu Yesu kilisite, unyavuvaha vwooni, muvaghanaghe avanhu coming namungasalulaghe.
2 Suppose a visitor should enter your synagogue, with gold rings and in grand clothes, and suppose a poor man should come in also, in shabby clothes,
Tuiti ndavule mulukong'ano lwinu ingile umunhu umhofu afwalile ni pete sa sahabu, Kange ingile umunhu unkotofu afwalile amenda ghano ghasakile,
3 and you show more respect to the visitor who is wearing grand clothes, and say – ‘There is a good seat for you here,’ but to the poor man – ‘You must stand; or sit down there by my footstool,’
pe muntengelele vunofu juno afwalilile muti, “Uve ghukale apa pavunofu”neke mumbule unkotofu jula multi, “uve iima apa,” nambe ghukale pasipasi apa pamaghulu ghango.
4 Haven’t you made distinctions among yourselves, and used evil standards of judgement?
Asi, uluo naluvonia kuuti munsalula avanhu, navu vulamusi vwuinu vulongosivua na masaghe ghiinu mavivi?
5 Listen, my dear friends. Has not God chosen those who are poor in the things of this world to be rich through their faith, and to possess the kingdom which he has promised to those who love him?
Vanyalukolo vango vaghanike, mumlikisie, avasaluile avakotofu ava muiisi, vave vamofu milwitiko na kuva vahasi vava vutwa vuno alyavalaghile vaano vamughanile?
6 But you – you insult the poor man! Isn’t it the rich who oppress you? Isn’t it they who drag you into law courts?
Nike umuue mukuvalenapula avakotofu! Asi, avamofu navevano vikuvapumusia umue name pikuvatwala pavuhighi?
7 Isn’t it they who malign that honourable name spoken over you at your baptism?
Asi, avamofu navevano vikulijova fiivi ilitavua ilinofu ilyajuno umue mukemelelua?
8 If you keep the royal law which runs – “You must love your neighbour as you love yourself,” you are doing right;
Kuuluo, nave muvingilila ululaghilo lwa ntwa ndavule lilembilue mumalembe amimikekuuti, “Muvomba vunono.
9 but, if you discriminate, you commit a sin, and stand convicted by that same law of being offenders against it.
Looli nave msalula avanhu vamo avakuvaghana muvomba inyivi, muhighue ulwakuva mulivahosi.
10 For a person who has laid the Law, as a whole, to heart, but has failed in one particular, is accountable for breaking all its provisions.
Nave umunhu ivingilila sooni, niike idenya ululaghilo lumo lwene, ujuo iiva adenyile indaaghilo sooni.
11 He who said “You must not commit adultery” also said “You must not murder.” If, then, you commit murder but not adultery, you are still an offender against the Law.
Uwakuva uNguluve juno aviikile uulaghilo luno lwiti, “Ulakukilagha,” kange wejuno alyajovile, “Nungabudaghe.” nave nuvwafuke, Nave ghubuda, ghuuvaghuuva udenyile indaghilo.
12 Therefore, speak and act as people who are to be judged by the “Law of freedom.”
Liino mujovaghe na kuvingililandavule vavo valipipi pihighua nu luhighilo luno lukutupeela kuva vaavuke.
13 For there will be justice without mercy for the person who has not acted mercifully. Mercy triumphs over Justice.
Ulwakuva uvuhighi vukwisa kisila lusungu kuvano navaale nulusungu. urusungu luhumila pavuhighi.
14 My friends, what good is it if someone claims that they have faith, but they do not prove it by actions? Can such faith save them?
Kuli vunono Viki, Vanyalukolo vango, nave umuunhu iiti ali nulwitwiko neke naihufia mu maghendele ghaake, ulwitiko lwake luli luvumbulilo luki?
15 Suppose some brother or sister should be in need of clothes and of daily bread,
Asi ulwitiko ndavule uluo ndeponu lukumpoka? Ndavule unyalukolo wakighosi nave wakidala mughaji ghwa menda nambe kyakulia kya jatu,
16 and one of you says to them – ‘Go, and peace be with you; keep warm and eat well!’ and yet you do not actually give them the necessities of life, what good would it be to them?
pe jumonga mulyumue akavavuule atii, “Lutagha nulutengano, mwotaghe umwoto na kulia vunofu,”niiki namukukuvatanga fino baghilue mu m'bili, uluo luvumbulila kiki?
17 In just the same way faith, if not followed by actions, is, by itself, a lifeless thing.
Fye lulivuo, ulwitiko lwene, nave naruhufia amaghende amanofu, lufwile.
18 Someone, indeed, may say – ‘You are a man of faith, and I am a man of action.’ ‘Then show me your faith,’ I reply, ‘apart from any actions, and I will show you my faith by my actions.’
Lino umuunhu jumonga ndepoonu iiti, “Ulinulwitiko, najune nilinili namaghendele amanofu.” Unihufie ulwitiko lwako ulusila maghendele, najune nikukuhufia ulwitiko lwango ulunyamaghendele ghango amanofu.
19 It is a part of your faith, is it not, that there is one God? Good; yet even the demons have that faith, and tremble at the thought.
Vitike kuuti kwale uNguluve jumbo; uli nuvulweli. Nike amapepo ghikwitika vule vule kuno ghitetema nuludwesi.
20 Now do you really want to understand, fool, how it is that faith without actions leads to nothing?
Asi ghulonda pikagula, uve ghwe munhu ulinjasu, ndavule ulwitiko uluo kisila maghendelelo ghano ghaghanilue?
21 Look at our ancestor, Abraham. Was he not justified by his actions after he had offered his son, Isaac, on the altar?
Asi nawe nkuulu ghwitu u Abrahamu alyambalile ihaki kumaghendele ghano alyantavuile unswambe u Isaka pakitekelelo?
22 You see how, in his case, faith and actions went together; that his faith was perfected as the result of his actions;
Lino mulolile ulwitiko ulwaa Abraham vule luvombike mumaghendele ghaake, muuluo ulwitiko lwake lukakwilana vwimila amaghendele ghake.
23 and that in this way the words of scripture came true – ‘Abraham believed God, and that was regarded by God as righteousness,’ and ‘He was called the friend of God.’
Uluo uluo lukakwilanisia amalembe amimike Ghana ghiiti, “U Abraham alyamwimike u Nguluve, ulwitiko lweluno lukampelela uNguluve am'balile kuuti mugholofu pa Mason ghake, muuluo uNguluve akantambula uAbrahamu kuuti mumanyaani ghwaake.
24 You see, then, that a person is justified by actions, and not by faith alone.
Lino mulolaghe mulolaghe kuuti umunhu ivalilua kuuva mugholofu vwimila amaghendele ghaake amanofu, nakwekuti vwimila ulwitiko lwene.
25 Wasn’t it the same with the prostitute, Rahab? Was she not justified by her actions, after she had welcomed the messengers and helped them escape by another road?
Fyelulyale naju Lahabu umughenda mwalu, alyavalilue kuuva mugholofu vwimila amaghendele ghaake amanofu, pano alyavuupiile avanhu vano valyasung'ilue, akavasoona vakile isila ijinge?
26 Just as a body is dead without a spirit, so faith is dead without actions.
Lino ulwitiko kisila maghendele amanofu, lufwileluuva ndavule umfimba unsila vwuumi.
