Yakobo 1
1 Yakobo n'tumwa ghwa K'yara ni ghwa Bwana Yesu Kristu kwa makabila kumi ni mabhele ghaghatabhwanyiki, salaam.
James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are in the Diaspora: Greetings.
2 Mubhalangayi kujha ni furaha nesu bhalongo bhangu, pamwip'eta mu malombosi agha ni agha,
Count it all joy, my brothers, when you encounter various trials,
3 mkamanyayi kujha kujaribibhwa kwa imani jha muenga jhikabhapela bhuvumilivu.
knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance.
4 Mubhulekayi bhuvumilivu ujhikamilisiajhi mbombo jha muene, kwamba mubhwesiajhi kukomala kinofu, bila kup'ongh'okibhwa mu lyolyoha.
Let endurance have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.
5 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.
But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all generously and without finding fault; and it will be given to him.
6 Lakini sokayi kwa imani bila bhuogha kwa kujha jhaajhe ni kubheka shaka ndo kama manyegha mu bahari ghitolibhwa ni mp'ongo khoni ni okhu.
But let him ask in faith, without any doubting, for the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, driven and tossed by the wind.
7 Kwa hakika munu ojhu asifikiriri kwamba ibetakujhop'elibhwa liombi lya muene kuhoma kwa Bwana;
For let that person not think that he will receive anything from the Lord.
8 munu ojho ajhe ni nia sibhele: imaralepi mu njela sya muene syoha.
He is a double-minded person, unstable in all his ways.
9 Bhalongo bhangu bhab'onji bhitondeka kwifuna mu kujhema kwa muene kunani,
But let the brother in humble circumstances glory in his high position;
10 Bhwakati bhobhuobhu ndongo tajiri mu bhunyenyekefu bhwa muene kwa ndabha ibetakubhoka kama liua lya kondeni mu n'gonda lya ip'eta.
and the rich, in that he is made humble, because like the flower in the grass, he will pass away.
11 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.
For the sun arises with the scorching wind, and withers the grass, and the flower in it falls, and the beauty of its appearance perishes. So also will the rich person fade away in his pursuits.
12 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.
Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial, for when he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life, which he promised to those who love him.
13 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.
Let no one say when he is tempted, "I am tempted by God," for God cannot be tempted by evil, and he himself tempts no one.
14 Khila munu ijaribibhwa ni tamaa sya muene sibhibhi syasikan'shawishi ni kumfuta patali.
But each one is tempted, when he is drawn away by his own lust, and enticed.
15 Ndiponbaada jha tamaa jha dhambi kup'etenda luleme dhambi jhihogoleka, ni baada jha dhambi kukomala kinofu, jhimalikila mu mauti.
Then the lust, when it has conceived, bears sin; and the sin, when it is full grown, brings forth death.
16 Bhalango bhangu bhapendwa, msikofibhu.
Do not be deceived, my beloved brothers.
17 Khilanzawadi jhajhele jhinofu ni khila zawadi jhajhikamilifu jhihomela kunani, jhiselela pasi kuhoma kwa Dadi ghwa nuru. Kabhele ibadilikalepi kama kivuli kyakibadilika.
All generous giving and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom can be no variation, nor turning shadow.
18 K'yara atusalili kutusalili kutupela tete uzima kwa lilobhi lya bhukueli, ili kwamba tubhwesiajhi kujha kama uzao bhwa kuanza miongoni mwa fiumbe fya muene.
Of his own will he brought us forth by the word of truth, that we should be a kind of first fruits of his creatures.
19 Mumanyili e'le bhalongo bhangu bhaganwa, khila mmonga ilondeka kujha njojhofu ghwa kup'eteka na sio njojhofu ghwa kulongela bhwala kudada,
This you know, my beloved brothers. But let every person be swift to hear, slow to speak, and slow to anger;
20 kwa kujha ligoga lya mwanadamu libhwesyalepi kubhomba mbombo jha K'yara.
for human anger does not produce the righteousness of God.
21 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.
Therefore, putting away all filthiness and overflowing of wickedness, receive with humility the implanted word, which is able to save your souls.
22 Mulitiajhi lilobhi, msilipeleki tu mwikikifya nafsi sya jhomu mwibhene.
But be doers of the word, and not only hearers, deluding your own selves.
23 Kwa kujha kama jhehioha jhaakalipeleka lilobhi bila kulibhonibela mbombo ndo sabhwa ni munu jhaikilola pamihu pa muene halisi mu kiibho.
For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like someone looking at his natural face in a mirror;
24 Ikitathimini pamihu pa muene, na ikwilotela ni baada jha muda udebe ijhebhelela kyaiwaningana.
for he sees himself, and goes away, and immediately forgets what kind of person he was.
25 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.
But he who looks into the perfect Law of freedom, and continues, not being a hearer who forgets, but a doer of the work, this person will be blessed in what he does.
26 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.
If anyone thinks himself to be religious while he does not control his tongue, but deceives his heart, this one's religion is worthless.
27 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.
Pure religion and undefiled before our God and Father is this: to visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained by the world.
