Yakobo 2
1 Bhaholo bhane msasyesyetanye ulweteho lwa Gosi uYesu uKilisti, Ugosi wituntumu, hwa ganililizye abhantu bhamo.
My brothers, do not hold the faith of our Lord Yeshua Meshikha of glory with partiality.
2 Nkesho mntu omo ainjila muluwo ngano lwenyu akwete ipete iwe lihela na ompena wenenda amabhibhi,
For if someone with a gold ring, in fine clothing, comes into your synagogue, and a poor person in filthy clothing also comes in;
3 na mwalolesya husajile hasa ola awe hgala epa apinza “lakini mwamozya ola umpena,” “Awe amelela pala,” au hgala pansi yimanama gane.”
and you pay special attention to the one who wears the fine clothing, and say, "Sit here in a good place;" but you tell the poor person, "Stand there," or "Sit by my footstool."
4 Eshi mwalongwanya mwenemwe, nabhe bhatazanyi bhene ensewo imbibhi?
Have you not discriminated among yourselves, and become judges with evil thoughts?
5 Tejelezi, bhaholobhane bhaganwe, eshi Ungolobhe sagabhasaluye apena bhense abhe abhatawazi bhilweteho na apyane womwene wabhandalie bhabhagene?
Listen, my beloved brothers. Did not God choose those who are poor in this world to be rich in faith, and heirs of the Kingdom which he promised to those who love him?
6 Lakini mubhasholanyenye apena! oshi saga bhabha hubhapela amayemba amwasaga bhewo bhahubhavuta whiboma?
But you have dishonored the poor person. Do not the rich oppress you, and personally drag you before the courts?
7 Saga bhatabhazi bhabhahuliliga itawa lila ilinza mbalyo hwelyo mkwizwilwe?
Do not they blaspheme the honorable name by which you are called?
8 Hata shesho muhutimizya indajizyo ye shemwene hansi sisimbiliwilwe mmandishi, “Ubhahugane wapanshenje waho hansi awe wenewe,” mwomba shinza.
However, if you fulfill the royal law, according to the Scripture, "You are to love your neighbor as yourself," you do well.
9 Eshi nkamwaganilizya abhantu bhamo, mwomba mbibhi, mlongwa ni ndajizyo abhe bhavunzi ndajizyo.
But if you show partiality, you commit sin, being convicted by the law as transgressors.
10 Wowonti watimizya indajizyo yonti, na bado ambomela pinukuta yeka tou, alinanongwa ya vunze ndajizyo yonti!
For whoever keeps the whole law, and yet stumbles in one point, he has become guilty of all.
11 Afwatanaje “Ungolobhe ayanjile Ugajegone,” na ashengwa yoyo pia ayanjile, “Usahibhe.” Nkasaga ugona na sengwa, ila ugoga, ubudulanyenye indajizyo ya Ngolobhe.
For he who said, "Do not commit adultery," also said, "Do not commit murder." Now if you do not commit adultery, but murder, you have become a transgressor of the law.
12 Esho yangaji na hweteshe hansi bhala bhabhali pepe alongwe nindajizyo yiwaushe.
So speak, and so do, as those who are to be judged by a law of freedom.
13 Huje alongwe huhwenza bila onkombo wha bhala bhasagabhalini nkombo. Enkombo ihujietema pamwanyayi longwi.
For judgment is without mercy to him who has shown no mercy. Mercy triumphs over judgment.
14 Huli uwinza wele, bhaholo bhane, nkesho umuntu ayanga aiga indinalo ulweteho, lakini saga alinimbombo?
What good is it, my brothers, if someone says he has faith, but has no works? Can faith save him?
15 Hansi uholo wishilume au wesheshe ahanza amenda au ishalye shikila lisiku,
And if a brother or sister is poorly clothed and may be lacking in daily food,
16 na umntu wka mwikundi lyenyu amozya, “Bhalaji hutenganu, mbhale mote umoto na mulye ishinza,” saga muhubhapela ivinlu vivifaa gomble, eyo isaidilanshi?
and one of you tells them, "Go in peace, be warmed and filled;" and yet you did not give them the things the body needs, what good is it?
17 Shesho ulweteho lwene, nkabaga luli ni mbombo.” lufwiye.
Even so faith, if it has no works, is dead in itself.
18 Asele muntu omo wezizye ayanje ulinalo ulweteho, nane indinazyo imbombo, “Ndolesye olweteho lwaho pasagapali imbombo, nane imbahulolesye ulweteho lwane humbombo zyane.
But someone will say, "You have faith, and I have works." Show me your faith without works, and I by my works will show you my faith.
19 Uhweteha aje huli Ungolobhe weka; uli sasa. Nape amazimu shesho gahweteha na yingane.
You believe that God is one. You do well. The demons also believe, and shudder.
20 Eshi uhwanza amanye awe wamuntu wazyanje, inamna sheleho ulweteho bila imbombo shasagaifaa?
But do you want to know, foolish person, that faith apart from works is useless?
21 Saga yubaba wetu uIbrahimu abhaziwilwe atabhale humbombo pafumizye umwana wakwe u Isaka pamwanyayi shieuto?
Wasn't Avraham our father justified by works, in that he offered up Iskhaq his son on the altar?
22 Mulola abhe ulweteho lwake lwawombile imbombo ni mbombozyakwe, na humbombo yakwe, ulweteho lwakwe lwafishiye amakusudi agakwe.
You see that faith worked with his works, and by works faith was perfected;
23 Amazyi gatimiye gagayanga, “Ubrahamu amweteshe Ungolobhe, nabhaziwe abhe muntu wa tabhale, “Esho Ubrahamu akwiziwilwe kondanu wa Ngolobhe.
and the Scripture was fulfilled which says, "And Avraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness"; and he was called the friend of God.
24 Mwalola aje humbombo umuntu abhaziwa atabhale, na siyo hwelwe teho tou.
You see that a person is justified by works and not by faith alone.
25 Na shesho, na sagali yu Rahabu ola wabhazwile atabhale humbombo, pabhakaribisizye abhajumbe na hubhatwala humbafa nara iyenje?
In like manner was not Rakhav the prostitute also justified by works, in that she received the messengers, and sent them out another way?
26 Na hansi ubele nkasaga guli nu pepo gufwiye, shesho ulweteho bila imbombo gafwiye.
For as the body apart from the spirit is dead, even so faith apart from works is dead.
