< Yakobo 2 >
1 Bhalongo bhangu musijhikesi imani jha Bwana Yesu Kristu, Bwana bhwa utukufu, kwa kupendelela bhanu fulani.
2 Kama munu fulani akahingilayi mu lukomanu kati jha muenga afwalili pete sya dhahabu ni maguanda manofu, Kabhele akajhingila maskini jhaajhele ni maguanda machafu,
3 na mwalasili kun'jali nesu jhola jha ajhele ni maguanda manofu ni kujobha, “Chondi bhebhe tamayi apa jha ujhele ni maguanda manofu, “Lakini mwan'jobhili masikini jhola, “Bhebhe jhemayi pala.” au tamayi pasi pa magolo gha nene.”
4 Je, mwihuku mulana mwebhene, ni kujha bhaamuzi bhabhajhele ni mabhwasu mabhibhi?
5 Mup'elesiajhi bhalongo bhangu bhaganwa, je, K'yara abhasalili lepi bhab'onji bha dunia, kujha matajiri mu iihiani nikurithi bhufalme bhwa abha ahidili bhabhan'ganili?
6 Lakini mubhajimu ili bhabonji! Je bhatajiri lepi bhabhakabheta sya muenga, na bhenelepi bhabhakabharundusya mu mahakama?
7 Je, matajiri lepi bhabhakaliligha lihina lela linofu ambalyo mwikutibhwa?
8 Hata naha, kama mwitimisya jhela sheria jha kifalme kama kya jhilembibhu mu majkandiku, “Wibetakun'gana jirani gha jhobhi kama ghwe muene,” Mwiketa kinofu.
9 Lakini kama mwipendelela baadhi jha bhanu, mwibetakubhamba dhambi mwihukumibhwa ni sheria kujha ndo bhavunja sheria.
10 Kwa kujha jhejhioha jhaitii sheria jhioha, ni akona akikungufuili mu nukta jhimonga tu, ajhhele ni hatia jha kuvunja sheria jhioha!
11 Kwa kujha K'yara jha ajobhili, “Usikomil kama wihonganalepi, lakini wikoma umelili kubomola sheria jha K'yara.
12 Henu mulongelayi ni kutii kama bhanfa ambabho bha mujhele karibu kuhukumulibhwa ni sheria jha uhuru.
13 Kwa kujha hukumu jhihida bila huruma kwa bhala bhabhabeli kujha ni huruma. Huruma jhikiwa tukusya kunani jha hukumu.
14 Kujhe ni unofu bholokhi bhalongo bhangu, kama munu ijobha nijhe ni imani lakini ajhelepi ni matendo? Je, imani ejhu njhihotola kumwokola?
15 kama bhalongosi au bhakidala ndo jhailonda ghwa maguanda au kya kulya kya khila ligono.
16 Ni mmonga bhinu akabhajobhela, “Mulotayi kwa amani mukajhotayi muoto na mkaliajhi kinofu.” Lakini mukabhapelalepi mahitaji, mhimu gha mbele, ejhu jhifu ajhi kiki?
17 Hali mebhu, imani jhiene kama jhibeli kujha ni matendu, jhifuili.
18 Bado munu fulani i9bhwesya kujobha, “Ujhe ni imani, ni nene nijhe ni matendo.” Nilasiajhi imani jha jhobhi bila matendo, nani nibeta kulasya imani jha nene kwa matendo gha nene.
19 Bhaamini kujha ajhe K'yara mmonga: ujhe sahihi. Lakini mapepo na ghene ghiamini mebhu ni kud'egeda.
20 Je wilonda kumanya, ewe munu mpumbafu namna ambavyo imani ejhu bila matendo kyajholondekalepi?
21 Je, Dadi jhinu Abramu lepi jhaabhalangibhu haki kwa matendo paambosili mwanamunu Isaka panani pa madhabhahu?
22 Mwabhwene imani jha muene jhabhombili mbombo ni matendo gha muene, ni kwa matendo gha muene, imani jha muene jhafikili kusudio lya muene.
23 Majhandiku ghatimisibhu ghaghijobha, Abrahamu an'jobhili K'yara, na abhalangibhu kujha ndo mwenye haki.” Efyo Abrahamu akutibhu rafiki ghwa K'yara.
24 Mwilola kujha kwa matendo munu ibhelangibhwa haki, na sio kwa imani jhiene.
25 Hali mabhu je, ajhelepi Rahabu jhola kahaba jhaabhalangibhu haki kwa matendo, bho abhakaribisi bhajumbe ni kubhapeleka kwa Baraba jhenge?
26 Kwa kujha kama vile mb'ele likabelajhi kujha ni roho ufuili fefuefu mebhu imani bila matendo jhifuili.
