Yakobo 4
1 Ngondo ni migogoro miongoni mwa muenga fihomela ndaku? Fijhinuka lepi kuhoma mu tamaa sya muenga sibhibhi sya sileta ngondo mugati mwa bhashirika bha jhomu?
Πόθεν πόλεμοι καὶ πόθεν μάχαι ἐν ὑμῖν; οὐκ ἐντεῦθεν, ἐκ τῶν ἡδονῶν ὑμῶν τῶν στρατευομένων ἐν τοῖς μέλεσιν ὑμῶν;
2 Mwinoghela khela kya mubelili kujha naku. Mwikoma na mwijumbisya khela kyamwibhwe syalepi kujha nakhu. Mwikomana ni kujhwangana na mwakona mwikabhalepi kwandabha jha kutokun's'oka K'yara.
ἐπιθυμεῖτε, καὶ οὐκ ἔχετε· φονεύετε καὶ ζηλοῦτε, καὶ οὐ δύνασθε ἐπιτυχεῖν· μάχεσθε καὶ πολεμεῖτε. καὶ οὐκ ἔχετε διὰ τὸ μὴ αἰτεῖσθαι ὑμᾶς·
3 Mwis'oka na mwijhambelelalepi kwa ndabha mwis'oka, kwa ndabha jha mambo mabhibhi, ili kwamba mubhwesiajhi kufitumila kwa tamaa sya muenga sibhibhi.
αἰτεῖτε καὶ οὐ λαμβάνετε, διότι κακῶς αἰτεῖσθε, ἵνα ἐν ταῖς ἡδοναῖς ὑμῶν δαπανήσητε.
4 Muenga bhazinzi mumanyililepi kujha urafiki ni ulimwengu ndo bhuadui dhidi jha K'yara? Henu jhejhioha jhaiamula kujha rafiki ghwa ulimwengu ikwibheka muene adui ghwa K'yara.
μοιχαλίδες, οὐκ οἴδατε ὅτι ἡ φιλία τοῦ κόσμου ἔχθρα ἐστὶν τῷ θεῷ; ὃς ἐὰν οὖν βουληθῇ φίλος εἶναι τοῦ κόσμου, ἐχθρὸς τοῦ θεοῦ καθίσταται.
5 Au mwifikilila majhandiku ghajhelepi ni maana paghijobha kujha Roho jhaabhekhili mugati mwa tete ajhe ni bhuifu nesu kwandabha jha tete?
ἢ δοκεῖτε ὅτι κενῶς ἡ γραφὴ λέγει, πρὸς φθόνον ἐπιποθεῖ τὸ πνεῦμα ὃ κατῴκισεν ἐν ἡμῖν;
6 Lakini K'yara ihomesya neema nesu, ndo maana majhandiku ghijobha,”K'yara akampinga jha ajhe ni kiburi, lakini akampela neema mnyenyekevu.”
μείζονα δὲ δίδωσιν χάριν· διὸ λέγει, ὁ θεὸς ὑπερηφάνοις ἀντιτάσσεται, ταπεινοῖς δὲ δίδωσιν χάριν.
7 Efyo, mukihomessiajhi kwa K'yara. Mumpengajhi ibilisi ni muene ibetakujumba kuhoma kwa muenga.
ὑποτάγητε οὖν τῷ θεῷ· ἀντίστητε δὲ τῷ διαβόλῳ, καὶ φεύξεται ἀφ’ ὑμῶν·
8 Muhengelekayi palubhafu ni K'yara ni muene ibetakuhengelela palubhafu lwa muenga, musambajhi mabhoko gha muenga, muengajha mujhele ni dhambi, na mutakasiajhi mioyo ghya muenga, muenga jha mujhe ni nia sibhele.
ἐγγίσατε τῷ θεῷ, καὶ ἐγγιεῖ ὑμῖν. καθαρίσατε χεῖρας, ἁμαρτωλοί, καὶ ἁγνίσατε καρδίας, δίψυχοι.
9 Mukilombosiajhi, muombolesiajhi ni kulela! Musanusiajhi luhekhu lwa muenga kujha huzuni ni furaha jha muenga kujha maombolesu.
ταλαιπωρήσατε καὶ πενθήσατε, κλαύσατε· ὁ γέλως ὑμῶν εἰς πένθος μετατραπήτω καὶ ἡ χαρὰ εἰς κατήφειαν.
10 Mukitengolelayi mwebhene palongolo pa K'yara Bwana, na ibetakubhajhinula panani.
ταπεινώθητε ἐνώπιον κυρίου, καὶ ὑψώσει ὑμᾶς.
11 Musijobhani kinyume muenga jhomu kwa jhomu, mwebhalukholo. Munu jhaijobha kinyume ni ndongo munu, au kun'hukumula ndongomunu ikheta kinyume ni sheria ni kujhukumu sheria jha K'yara. Mukajhihukumulayi sheria, mukajhijiula sheria, bali mkajhihukumu.
Μὴ καταλαλεῖτε ἀλλήλων, ἀδελφοί· ὁ καταλαλῶν ἀδελφοῦ ἢ κρίνων τὸν ἀδελφὸν αὐτοῦ καταλαλεῖ νόμου καὶ κρίνει νόμον· εἰ δὲ νόμον κρίνεις, οὐκ εἶ ποιητὴς νόμου ἀλλὰ κριτής.
12 Mmonga tu ambajhe jha ihomesya sheria na hakimu, K'yara muene jha ajhe ni bhuweso bhwa kuokola ni kujhangamisya. Bhabhe ghwe niani jha ukan'hukumu jirani ghwa jhobhi?
εἷς ἐστιν ὁ νομοθέτης καὶ κριτής, ὁ δυνάμενος σῶσαι καὶ ἀπολέσαι· σὺ δὲ τίς εἶ, ὁ κρίνων τὸν πλησίον;
13 Mup'elekesiajhi muenga jha mwijobha, “Lelu au kilabhu twibetakulota mu mji obhu, ni kutama miaka okhu, ni kubhomba biashara ni kutengenesya faida.”
Ἄγε νῦν οἱ λέγοντες, σήμερον ἢ αὔριον πορευσόμεθα εἰς τήνδε τὴν πόλιν καὶ ποιήσομεν ἐκεῖ ἐνιαυτὸν καὶ ἐμπορευσόμεθα καὶ κερδήσομεν·
14 Niani jha amanyili kiki kyakybeta kuhomela kilabhu, ni maisha gha muene ndo kiki nesu? kwa kujha mwiwaningana kama liluka lya lihomela kwa muda bhudebe ni kisha kujhagha.
οἵτινες οὐκ ἐπίστασθε τὸ τῆς αὔριον ποία γὰρ ἡ ζωὴ ὑμῶν. ἀτμὶς γάρ ἐστε ἡ πρὸς ὀλίγον φαινομένη, ἔπειτα καὶ ἀφανιζομένη·
15 Badala jhiake ngamujobhili, “Kama ndo mapenzi gha Bwana, twibetakuishi ni tubeta kukhela ekhe au khela.”
ἀντὶ τοῦ λέγειν ὑμᾶς· ἐὰν ὁ κύριος θελήσῃ, καὶ ζήσομεν καὶ ποιήσομεν τοῦτο ἢ ἐκεῖνο.
16 Lakini henu mwikifuna panani pa mipango ghenu. Majivuno ghoha aghu ndo bhuovu.
νῦν δὲ καυχᾶσθε ἐν ταῖς ἀλαζονίαις ὑμῶν· πᾶσα καύχησις τοιαύτη πονηρά ἐστιν.
17 Henu, kwa muene jha amanyili kukheta manofu lakini ikheta lepi kwa muene ojhu ndo dhambi.
εἰδότι οὖν καλὸν ποιεῖν καὶ μὴ ποιοῦντι, ἁμαρτία αὐτῷ ἐστιν.
