Yakobo 4
1 Ivo na malongano longano hulimwe vifumile hwi? Sagavi hwadila afume munyonyozyenyu ambiwi zwazileta ibho muhati wa bhoziwa bhenyu?
Where do the wars and disputes among you come from? Is it not precisely from your pleasures, the ones at war in your members?
2 Msongwa hatahasagamuli naho. Mbuda nanyililile hala hasaga. Muhawezwa abhenaho, mlwa nalongane nantele sempata nahamo, huje semputa Ongolobhi.
You crave and do not have; you murder and covet and are not able to obtain; you fight and war. You do not have because you do not ask.
3 Mputa nantele sagamhwa mbilila nantele sagamhwa mbilila nantele mputa afwatane ne mbombo embibhi, ili nkamwande azibhombele humbibhi zyenyu.
You ask and do not receive because you ask wrongly, so that you may lavish it on your pleasures.
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! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? So whoever may want to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.
5 Eshi muiga ansimbo sagazi li eshi gayangwa aje empepo yabheshele mhati mliti ali nokelo tee husababu eyahuliti?
Or do you suppose that the Scripture says in vain that the Spirit who dwells in us yearns jealously?
6 Nantele Ongolobhi afunya wene tee, mwamwomwo enesimbo ziyangao, “Ongolobhi ahukhoma yalini bado nantele ahupela owene ahwishe.”
But He gives greater grace; therefore He says: “God resists proud ones, but gives grace to humble ones.”
7 Eshi hwifumi hwa Ngolobhi penji osetano wope abhashembele afumehulimwe.
Therefore submit 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. Sinners, cleanse your hands! Double-minded, purify your hearts!
9 Hwinkongozi nazonde na lile galuzanyi esehozyenyu hubhe hwikongozye nashime hwenyu hubhe huzonde.
Lament and mourn and weep! Let your laughter be turned into mourning, and your joy into dejection.
10 Ishi mwemwe hwitagalila hwa gosi nantele adabhabhoswa humwanya.
Humble yourself before 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.
Brothers, do not speak evil of one another. Because the one speaking against a brother and judging his brother speaks against a law and judges a law. So if you judge a law you are not a law-doer but a judge.
12 Ali omo yafumya udajizyo no lozi Ongolobhi omwane ane nguvu ezyahwope na goje awewe nanu wolongaa owamwe tuowapapepe?
The Lawgiver and Judge is One, the one who is able to save and to destroy. So who are you (sg) to be judging someone who is different?
13 Tejelezi amwe mwamyanga “Sanyonu na sadao taibhala pakhaga epa, nakhale mwaha ohwa na bhombe ebiashala nalenganye efaida.”
Come now, you who say, “Today and tomorrow let us travel to that certain city, spend a year there, do business and make a profit;”
14 Yonanu yamenye hatushi hahai fumila shadabho na hwizye hwenyu yenakwano? Wahuji mlengene nashi ibhesu lwalifumila lifumala pashaha nantele nateje.
whereas you do not know anything about the morrow. For what is our life? It is even a vapor that appears for a little time but then vanishes away.
15 Hwahuji mwezaga uyanje, “nashi omwiza wa Gosi, taidela na bhambe embombo eha na hala.”
Instead you ought to say, “If the Lord wills, we will live and do this or that.”
16 Nantele eshi mhwivuna huno ngwazyenyu ahwivune hoti ohwo hwahuje mbimbi.
But now you boast in your arrogant pretensions. All such boasting is malignant.
17 Kwahuje, hwamwane yamenye abhombe amiza nantele saga abhomba hwa mwene oyo huje mbibhi.
Therefore, to the one knowing to do good and not doing it, to him it is sin.
