Yakobo 1
1 U Yakobo, usontezi wa Ngulubhi nu wa ngosi uYesu Kilisti, huvikholo kumi na mbili vye vili nu gabhanyo imbalamuha.
JAMES, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are dispersed, greeting.
2 Mubhazye aje huhusungwe hani bha holo bhau lemshila mmanyimba gogonti,
My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into various trials;
3 lwe mwamanya aje hulwitiho lwinu mujelwa hubhapela ugulilizyo.
knowing that the proof of your faith produceth patience.
4 Muleshe ugulilizyo bhukalisye imbombo yakwe, huje mke mugomehau mgande apotwe hulyolyonti.
But let patience have its work perfected, that ye may be perfect and complete, deficient in nothing.
5 Lelo nku muntu kati yuyahwanza ihekima alabhe hwa Nguluvhi, uwene afunyabila hubhajile bhoutobhebha hunabha ihekima.
But if any man of you be deficient in wisdom, let him ask it of God, who giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not and it shall be given him.
6 Lelo labha hulwitiho, ugadi isaje ya saga abha ndeshe amawimbi munsumbi ahamvurundwi hahuntaga uhunuhu.
But let him ask in faith, harbouring no doubt: for he who is doubtful is like a wave of the sea, driven by the wind, and in constant agitation.
7 Imanya umuntu unu asahasibhe aje Ungulubhi ayiposhela impta zyakwe;
For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing from the Lord.
8 umuntu iwimadala gabhili semwinza humadala gakwe gonti.
A double-minded man is unsteady in all his ways.
9 Umuntu umpina ahwanziwa huyitime hugorosu wakwe uwapamwanya,
Let the brother low in station rejoice in his elevation:
10 Umuda bhunuwo uholo untabhazi ahwishe hwakwe pipo ayiyepa ndeshe iua ilya mkodeni mgunda gwashila.
but the rich, in his abasement: for as the flower of grass he shall pass away.
11 Isaaya lifuma ni lyoto lyahubhapemba na hwumisye amasole na maua gagwa nu winza wakwe bhufwa. Sheshinisho abhantu abhatabhazi bhamalishiwa ni mbombo zyabho.
For the sun arose with fervour, and burnt up the grass, and the flower of it fell off, and the beauty of its appearance was lost: just so the rich man in his course of life shall wither away.
12 Asayiwaje umuntu ula yajimbilila injelo, nkushelo ajimbilila injelo abhapate insushe iyi wumi. Yabhasubhizizye bhebhahugana Ungulubhi.
Blessed is the man who patiently supports temptation: for when he is proved, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to those who love him.
13 Umuntu wowonti sa hwanziwa ayanje la jelwa, “Ajelwe uhu lufuma hwa Ngulubhi pipo Ungulubhi sajelwa ni mbibhi antele Ungulubhi sahujijala Umuntu wowonti.
Let no man under temptation say, I am tempted of God: for God is incapable of temptation from evils, and he tempteth no man:
14 Umuntu wouti ajelwa ni nyonywo zyakwe imbibhi zyezihusushili zya afume apatali.
but every person is tempted, when by his own peculiar passion he is born away, and ensnared.
15 Nkushe afume hunyonywo iyi mbibhi, abhusya ivyanda vyi mbibhi, zipapwa imbibhi nkezyagoma wuhwinza ufwe.
Then passion impregnated, bringeth forth sin, and sin reaching its consummation, bringeth forth death.
16 Bhaholo bhani bhaganwa, musahagobelwe.
Be not deceived, my beloved brethren.
17 Impesya ye nyinza na impesya ya fumule humwanya, ahwishe pansi afume hwa Daada uwilukhozyo.
Every good gift, and every perfect gift, is from above, descending from the father of illuminations, with whom there is no variableness, nor shadow of change.
18 Ungulubhi ahasaluye hutipele ati uwomi hwi zwi ilyi lyolinke tibhe ndeshe upapwo uwahwande kati yi vintu vyakwe vyabhumbile.
Of his own choice he produced us by the word of truth, that we might be a sort of first fruit of his creatures.―
19 Muminye izi, bhaholo bhani bhaganwa. Umuntu wonti ahwanziwa abhe mpupusu wa hwa nvwe asahabhe mpupusu wayanje,
Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath.
20 pipo inkumi ya muntu sibhomba aminza aga Ngulubhi.
For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God.
21 Ishi mubhishe apatali uchafu wi dhambi mu bhibhi wonti we bhuli apatali ponti na hwa hwishe, mliposhele izwi lyalitotuwe muhati yinyu lyelilinuuwezo uwahwo kole amoyo ginyu.
Wherefore laying aside all vicious pollution, and the abundance of iniquity, receive with meekness the ingrafted word, which hath power to save your souls.
22 Mulyitishe izwi msahalyanvwe lwene mugobelwe mumoyo ginyu.
But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves by false reasoning.
23 Huje wowonti yahulyimvwa izwi sahulibhombela imbombo alingana nu muntu yahuyenya humaso gakwe yuyo mwigalasi.
For if any man be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like a man that looks at his natural face in a glass;
24 Ahuyenya amaso gakwe asoigola, pamandi hadodo ahwiwa shalingana.
for he beheld himself, and went away, and immediately forgot what sort of person he was.
25 Shi umuntu yahuyenya shinza indajizyo zyiwawushe abhalilila ahwitihse se hwahuje ntejelezi, yahwiwa, umuntu umaisaiwa nahu yibhomba.
But he that looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and perseveres, this man not being a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, he shall be blessed in his practice.
26 Nkumuntu wowonti abhasibhe yuyo aje muntu wa shibhanza ulumili lwakwe ahugobela umwoyo wakwe ni shibhanza shakwe shilwene.
If any man thinks he is a religious character among you, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man’s religion is vain.
27 Ishibhanza ishinza shesashinanjiha hwa Ngulubhi wetu nu Daada shimishi hubhavwe a yatima na huyidime mwimmwinu bhibhi wunsi ini.
Pure religion and undefiled with God even the Father is this, To pay diligent attention to the orphans and widows in their affliction, and to preserve himself spotless from the world.
