< James 5:12 >

12 Also, my fellow believers, [I want to say] something important [about how you talk]. [If you say that you will do something], do not say, “If I do not do it, may [God in] heaven [MTY] punish me.” Do not even say, “If I do not do it, may [someone here on] earth [MTY] punish me.” Do not say anything like that. Instead, if you say “Yes,” then [do what you said that you would do]. If you say “No,” then do not [do it]. Otherwise, [God] will condemn you.
Zaidi ya yote, ndugu zangu, msiape, aidha kwa mbingu ama kwa nchi, au kwa kiapo cha aina nyingine. Bali hebu “ndiyo” yenu na imaanishe “ndiyo” na “hapana” yenu na imaanishe “hapana,” ili kwamba msije kuangukia chini ya hukumu.
