James 1
1 James, a bondservant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ: to the twelve tribes who are scattered over the world. All good wishes.
Yakobo n'tumwa ghwa K'yara ni ghwa Bwana Yesu Kristu kwa makabila kumi ni mabhele ghaghatabhwanyiki, salaam.
2 Reckon it nothing but joy, my brethren, whenever you find yourselves hedged in by various trials.
Mubhalangayi kujha ni furaha nesu bhalongo bhangu, pamwip'eta mu malombosi agha ni agha,
3 Be assured that the testing of your faith leads to power of endurance.
mkamanyayi kujha kujaribibhwa kwa imani jha muenga jhikabhapela bhuvumilivu.
4 Only let endurance have perfect results so that you may become perfect and complete, deficient in nothing.
Mubhulekayi bhuvumilivu ujhikamilisiajhi mbombo jha muene, kwamba mubhwesiajhi kukomala kinofu, bila kup'ongh'okibhwa mu lyolyoha.
5 And if any one of you is deficient in wisdom, let him ask God for it, who gives with open hand to all men, and without upbraiding; and it will be given him.
Lakini kama munu kati jha muenga ilonda hekima ajhisokayi kuhoma kwa K'yara ambajhe ipisya kwa bhunofu ni bila kujhwangila kwa bhanu bhabhakan'soka, ni kubhap, ela hekima.
6 But let him ask in faith and have no doubts; for he who has doubts is like the surge of the sea, driven by the wind and tossed into spray.
Lakini sokayi kwa imani bila bhuogha kwa kujha jhaajhe ni kubheka shaka ndo kama manyegha mu bahari ghitolibhwa ni mp'ongo khoni ni okhu.
7 A person of that sort must not expect to receive anything from the Lord--
Kwa hakika munu ojhu asifikiriri kwamba ibetakujhop'elibhwa liombi lya muene kuhoma kwa Bwana;
8 such a one is a man of two minds, undecided in every step he takes.
munu ojho ajhe ni nia sibhele: imaralepi mu njela sya muene syoha.
9 Let a brother in humble life rejoice when raised to a higher position;
Bhalongo bhangu bhab'onji bhitondeka kwifuna mu kujhema kwa muene kunani,
10 but a rich man should rejoice in being brought low, for like flowers among the herbage rich men will pass away.
Bhwakati bhobhuobhu ndongo tajiri mu bhunyenyekefu bhwa muene kwa ndabha ibetakubhoka kama liua lya kondeni mu n'gonda lya ip'eta.
11 The sun rises with his scorching heat and dries up the herbage, so that its flowers drop off and the beauty of its appearance perishes, and in the same way rich men with all their prosperity will fade away.
Lijobha lihoma ni joto lya kulalisya kujhomesya mimea, ni maua ghijhoma ghibina ni unofu bhuake bhwifwa. Fefuefu bhanu matajiri bhibetakuchakala pagati mu mbombo sya bhene.
12 Blessed is he who patiently endures trials; for when he has stood the test, he will gain the victor's crown--even the crown of Life--which the Lord has promised to those who love Him.
Abarikibhu munujhola jhaisindamala majaribu, kwa kujha baada jha kushinda lijaribu e'lu, ibetakujhamb'elela litaji lya uzima, ambajho jhiahidibhu kwa bhala bhabhan'ganili K'yara.
13 Let no one say when passing through trial, "My temptation is from God;" for God is incapable of being tempted to do evil, and He Himself tempts no one.
Munu jhajhioha ilondekalepi, kujobha paijaribibhwa, “Lijaribu e'le lihomela kwa K'yara.” Kwandabha K'yara ijaribibibhwa lepi ni uovu, ni K'yara muene akan'jaribu jhejhioha.
14 But when a man is tempted, it is his own passions that carry him away and serve as a bait.
Khila munu ijaribibhwa ni tamaa sya muene sibhibhi syasikan'shawishi ni kumfuta patali.
15 Then the passion conceives, and becomes the parent of sin; and sin, when fully matured, gives birth to death.
Ndiponbaada jha tamaa jha dhambi kup'etenda luleme dhambi jhihogoleka, ni baada jha dhambi kukomala kinofu, jhimalikila mu mauti.
16 Do not be deceived, my dearly-loved brethren.
Bhalango bhangu bhapendwa, msikofibhu.
17 Every gift which is good, and every perfect boon, is from above, and comes down from the Father, who is the source of all Light. In Him there is no variation nor the slightest suggestion of change.
Khilanzawadi jhajhele jhinofu ni khila zawadi jhajhikamilifu jhihomela kunani, jhiselela pasi kuhoma kwa Dadi ghwa nuru. Kabhele ibadilikalepi kama kivuli kyakibadilika.
18 In accordance with His will He made us His children through the Message of the truth, so that we might, in a sense, be the Firstfruits of the things which He has created.
K'yara atusalili kutusalili kutupela tete uzima kwa lilobhi lya bhukueli, ili kwamba tubhwesiajhi kujha kama uzao bhwa kuanza miongoni mwa fiumbe fya muene.
19 You know this, my dearly-loved brethren. But let every one be quick to hear, slow to speak, and slow to be angry.
Mumanyili e'le bhalongo bhangu bhaganwa, khila mmonga ilondeka kujha njojhofu ghwa kup'eteka na sio njojhofu ghwa kulongela bhwala kudada,
20 For a man's anger does not lead to action which God regards as righteous.
kwa kujha ligoga lya mwanadamu libhwesyalepi kubhomba mbombo jha K'yara.
21 Ridding yourselves, therefore, of all that is vile and of the evil influences which prevail around you, welcome in a humble spirit the Message implanted within you, which is able to save your souls.
Henu mubhekayi patali uchafu bhwa dhambi ni bhubhibhi bhuoha bhwabhujhele mahali poha, ni kwa bhunyenyekevu mulijhambolelayi lilobhi lyalipandibhu mugati mwa muenga, ambalyo lijhele ni bhuwesu bhwa kuokola roho sya muenga.
22 But prove yourselves obedient to the Message, and do not be mere hearers of it, imposing a delusion upon yourselves.
Mulitiajhi lilobhi, msilipeleki tu mwikikifya nafsi sya jhomu mwibhene.
23 For if any one listens but does not obey, he is like a man who carefully looks at his own face in a mirror.
Kwa kujha kama jhehioha jhaakalipeleka lilobhi bila kulibhonibela mbombo ndo sabhwa ni munu jhaikilola pamihu pa muene halisi mu kiibho.
24 Although he has looked carefully at himself, he goes away, and has immediately forgotten the sort of man he is.
Ikitathimini pamihu pa muene, na ikwilotela ni baada jha muda udebe ijhebhelela kyaiwaningana.
25 But he who looks closely into the perfect Law--the Law of freedom--and continues looking, he, being not a hearer who forgets, but an obedient doer, will as the result of his obedience be blessed.
Bali munu jhola jha ikilanga kwa uangalifu bhwa sheria kamili sheria jha uhuru, ni kujhendelela kujhitii sio kwandabha muene mp'elekesiaji jhaiheb helela, munu ojho ibeta kubarikibhwa paibhomba.
26 If a man thinks that he is scrupulously religious, although he is not curbing his tongue but is deceiving himself, his religious service is worthless.
Ikajhelayi munu jhejhioha ibetakufikirila muene kujha ndo munu ghwa dini, lazima ibhwesyalepi kubhutabhwala lumilu lwa muene, akabhukofya muoyo bhwa muene ni dini jha muene ndo Pat'op'o.
27 The religious service which is pure and stainless in the sight of our God and Father is to visit fatherless children and widowed women in their time of trouble, and to keep one's own self unspotted from the world.
Dini jhinofu na jhajhibeli kuharibibhwa palongolo pa K'yara ghwitu ni Dadi ndo ejhe: kubhatangatila bhakhebha ni bhajane mu malombosi gha bhene, ni kwilenda bhene ni bhufisadi bhwa dunia.
