Yakobo 4
1 Ivo na malongano longano hulimwe vifumile hwi? Sagavi hwadila afume munyonyozyenyu ambiwi zwazileta ibho muhati wa bhoziwa bhenyu?
Whence come wars and strifes among you? Come they not hence, even of your passions, which war in your members?
2 Msongwa hatahasagamuli naho. Mbuda nanyililile hala hasaga. Muhawezwa abhenaho, mlwa nalongane nantele sempata nahamo, huje semputa Ongolobhi.
You desire, and you have not; you kill, and are earnestly desirous of having, and yet you can not obtain; you fight and war, and yet you have not, because you ask not.
3 Mputa nantele sagamhwa mbilila nantele sagamhwa mbilila nantele mputa afwatane ne mbombo embibhi, ili nkamwande azibhombele humbibhi zyenyu.
You ask, and receive not, because you ask amiss, that you may spend it on your passions.
4 Amwe mwakelo sagammenye aje oholo nensi aje luvisanyo sanaa no Ngolobhi? Nantele, ajagoti goyajile abheholo wensi ohwilola mwena obhibhi wa Ngolobhi.
Adulterers and adulteresses, know you not that the friendship of the world is enmity to God? Whoever, therefore, will be a friend of the world, is an enemy of God.
5 Eshi muiga ansimbo sagazi li eshi gayangwa aje empepo yabheshele mhati mliti ali nokelo tee husababu eyahuliti?
Do you suppose that the scripture speaks to no purpose? Does the Spirit that dwells in us incline to envy? No.
6 Nantele Ongolobhi afunya wene tee, mwamwomwo enesimbo ziyangao, “Ongolobhi ahukhoma yalini bado nantele ahupela owene ahwishe.”
But he gives more grace. Wherefore he says: God sets himself against the proud, but gives grace to the lowly.
7 Eshi hwifumi hwa Ngolobhi penji osetano wope abhashembele afumehulimwe.
Submit yourselves, therefore, to God; resist the devil, and he will flee from you;
8 Zobheleli apapepe no Ngolobhi, nantele wope azobhilele hulimwi ozi amakhono genyu, amwe mubhembibhi, hwiyozi amoyogenyu, amwe mubhembibhi hwiyozi amoyogenyu amwe mwamsebha enseebho zibhele.
draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded men.
9 Hwinkongozi nazonde na lile galuzanyi esehozyenyu hubhe hwikongozye nashime hwenyu hubhe huzonde.
Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to sorrow.
10 Ishi mwemwe hwitagalila hwa gosi nantele adabhabhoswa humwanya.
Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he will exalt you.
11 Mganjeyangane mwemwe hwamwe, oholo. Mtu yayanga ushingunga no holo wakwe na loje nuholo wakwe ayanga shingunga nedaiizyo nahuilonje endajizyo semzwo gapa endajizyo nantele mzilonga.
Do not speak evil one of another, brethren. He that speaks evil of his brother, and judges his brother, speaks evil of the law, and judges the law: but if you judge the law, you are not a doer of the law, but a judge.
12 Ali omo yafumya udajizyo no lozi Ongolobhi omwane ane nguvu ezyahwope na goje awewe nanu wolongaa owamwe tuowapapepe?
There is one law-giver that is able to save, and to destroy: who are you that judge another?
13 Tejelezi amwe mwamyanga “Sanyonu na sadao taibhala pakhaga epa, nakhale mwaha ohwa na bhombe ebiashala nalenganye efaida.”
Come, now, you that say, Let us go to-day, or to-morrow, into this city, and remain there a year, and trade, and make gain;
14 Yonanu yamenye hatushi hahai fumila shadabho na hwizye hwenyu yenakwano? Wahuji mlengene nashi ibhesu lwalifumila lifumala pashaha nantele nateje.
and yet you know not what will take place to-morrow. For what is your life? Is it not, indeed, a vapor, that appears for a little while, and then vanishes away?
15 Hwahuji mwezaga uyanje, “nashi omwiza wa Gosi, taidela na bhambe embombo eha na hala.”
Instead of that, you ought to say, If the Lord will, we shall live, and do this, or that.
16 Nantele eshi mhwivuna huno ngwazyenyu ahwivune hoti ohwo hwahuje mbimbi.
But now you glory in your boastings: all such glorying is evil.
17 Kwahuje, hwamwane yamenye abhombe amiza nantele saga abhomba hwa mwene oyo huje mbibhi.
Therefore, to him that knows how to do good, and does it not, to him it is sin.
