James 2
1 Brothers of Mine, not with partiality do hold the faith of the Lord of us Jesus Christ of glory.
Hama dzangu, savatendi muna Ishe wedu wokubwinya iye Jesu Kristu, musava vatsauri vavanhu.
2 If for shall come into (the *k*) assembly of you a man with a gold ring in apparel splendid, may come in then also a poor [man] in shabby apparel
Kana mumwe munhu akauya akapinda mumusangano wenyu akapfeka mhete yegoridhe nenguo dzakaisvonaka, uye murombo akapfeka mamvemve akapindawo,
3 (and *ko*) you may look (also *no*) upon the [one] wearing the apparel splendid and may say (to him: *k*) You yourself do sit here honorably, and to the poor may say; You yourself do stand there or do sit (here *k*) under the footstool of mine,
kana mukaremekedza munhu akapfeka nguo dzakaisvonaka muchiti, “Hechi chigaro chenyu chakanaka,” asi kumurombo mukati, “Iwe mira apo,” kana kuti “Gara pasi, patsoka dzangu,”
4 (and *ko*) not were discriminated among yourselves and you have become judges with thoughts evil?
hamuna kutsaura here pakati penyu uye mukava vatongi vane ndangariro dzakaipa?
5 do listen, brothers of mine beloved, Not God has chosen the poor (in the world *N(k)O*) (this *k*) [to be] rich in faith and heirs of the kingdom that He promised to those loving Him?
Inzwai, hama dzangu dzinodikanwa: Ko, Mwari haana kusarudza varombo venyika ino kuti vave vapfumi mukutenda uye kuti vagare nhaka youmambo hwaakavimbisa avo vanomuda here?
6 You yourselves however dishonored the poor. Surely the rich are oppressing you and they themselves dragging you into court?
Asi imi makazvidza varombo. Ko, havasi vapfumi vanokubirai here? Havazi ivo vanokuendesai kumatare edzimhosva here?
7 Surely they themselves are denigrating the good Name which having been called upon you?
Havazi ivo vanomhura zita rinokudzwa raiye wamuri vake here?
8 If indeed [the] law you keep royal according to the Scripture; You will love the neighbour of you as yourself, well you are doing;
Kana muchichengeta muchokwadi murayiro woushe unowanikwa muRugwaro, unoti: “Ida muvakidzani wako sezvaunozvida iwe,” munoita zvakanaka.
9 If however you show partiality, sin you are committing being convicted by the law as transgressors.
Asi kana muchitsaura vanhu, muri kutadza uye munotongwa nomurayiro savadariki vomurayiro.
10 Whoever for all the law (may keep, may stumble *N(k)O*) but in one [point], he has become of all guilty.
Nokuti ani naani anochengeta murayiro wose asi achigumburwa pachinhu chimwe chete ane mhosva yokuputsa murayiro wose.
11 The [One] for having said Not (you may commit adultery, *NK(o)*) said also Not (you may murder. *NK(o)*) If however not (you do commit adultery do commit murder *N(k)O*) however, you have become a transgressor of [the] law.
Nokuti iye akati, “Usaita upombwe,” ndiyewo akati, “Usauraya.” Kana usingaiti upombwe asi uchiuraya, wava mudariki womurayiro.
12 Thus do speak and so do act as through [the] law of freedom being about to be judged.
Taurai uye muchiita saavo vachazotongwa nomurayiro unopa rusununguko,
13 For judgment without mercy [will be] to the [one] not having shown mercy; (and *k*) (it triumphs over mercy *NK(o)*) judgment.
nokuti kutonga kusinganzwiri ngoni kucharatidzwa kumunhu upi zvake akanga asinganzwiri ngoni. Ngoni dzinokunda kutonga!
14 What [is] the profit, brothers of mine, if faith shall say anyone to have, works however not he may have? Surely not is able the faith to save him?
Zvinobatsirei, hama dzangu, kana munhu achiti ano kutenda asi asina mabasa? Kutenda kwakadaro kungamuponesa here?
15 Now if (now *k*) a brother or a sister without clothes shall be and lacking (they may be *ko*) of daily food,
Kana hama kana hanzvadzi ikashayiwa zvokufuka nezvokudya zvezuva rimwe nerimwe,
16 may say then anyone to them out from you; do go in peace, do be warmed and do be filled, surely not may give however to them the needful things for the body, what [is] the profit?
uye mumwe wenyu akati, “Endai henyu, mufambe zvakanaka; mudziyirwe uye mugute,” asi asina chinhu chaamuitira chinodikanwa nomuviri wake, zvakanaka here izvozvo?
17 So also faith, only unless it shall have works [then] dead it is by itself.
Saizvozvowo, kutenda kwoga, kana kusina basa, kwakafa.
18 But will say someone; You yourself faith have, and I myself and I myself works have; do show me the faith of you (without *N(k)O*) the works (of you *k*) and I myself and I myself you will show by the works of mine the faith (of mine. *k*)
Asi mumwe achati, “Iwe une kutenda; ini ndine mabasa.” Ndiratidze kutenda kwako kusina mabasa, uye ini ndichakuratidza kutenda kwangu nezvandinoita.
19 You yourself believe that one is God; Well you are doing! Even the demons believe [that] and shudder!
Iwe unotenda kuti kuna Mwari mumwe. Zvakanaka! Kunyange madhimoni anotenda izvozvo, uye achidedera.
20 Do you want however to come to know, O man foolish, that faith apart from works (worthless *N(K)O*) is?
Iwe benzi, unoda kuona kuti kutenda kusina mabasa hakuna maturo here?
21 Abraham the father of us not by works was justified having offered Isaac the son of him upon the altar?
Tateguru wedu Abhurahama haana kunzi akarurama here nokuda kwezvaakaita paakapa mwanakomana wake Isaka paaritari?
22 [Do] you see that [his] faith was working with the works of him and by [his] works [his] faith was perfected?
Unoona kuti kutenda kwake uye namabasa ake zvaibata pamwe chete, uye kutenda kwake kukazadziswa nezvaakaita.
23 And was fulfilled the Scripture which is saying; Believed then Abraham in God and it was counted to him for righteousness and a friend of God he was called.
Uye Rugwaro rwakazadziswa runoti, “Abhurahama akatenda Mwari zvikaverengerwa kwaari kuti ndiko kururama,” uye akanzi shamwari yaMwari.
24 You see (therefore *K*) that by works is justified a man and not by faith alone.
Unoona kuti munhu anoruramisirwa nokuda kwezvaanoita, kwete nokutenda bedzi.
25 Likewise then also Rahab the prostitute not by works was justified having received the messengers and by another way having sent [them] forth?
Saizvozvowo, Rahabhi chifeve haana kunzi akarurama nokuda kwezvaakaita paakapa vasori imba uye akazovaendesa neimwe nzira here?
26 Just as for the body apart from spirit dead is, so also faith apart from (*ko*) works dead is.
Sezvo muviri usina mweya wakafa, saizvozvo kutenda kusina mabasa kwakafa.
