Jakobho 1
1 Jakobho, muranda waMwari nowaIshe Jesu Kristu, kumarudzi gumi namaviri akapararira pakati pendudzi: Kwaziwai.
James of God and of [the] Lord Jesus Christ a servant To the twelve tribes in the Dispersion Greeting.
2 Hama dzangu, muti mufaro chaiwo, pose pamunosangana nemiedzo mizhinji yemhando dzose,
All joy do esteem [it], brothers of mine, when trials you may fall into various,
3 nokuti munoziva kuti kuedzwa kwokutenda kwenyu kunobereka kutsungirira.
knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance;
4 Kutsungirira kunofanira kupedza basa rako kuitira kuti imi mukure uye muve vakakwana, musingashayiwi chinhu.
And endurance work [its] perfect should have, so that you may be perfect and complete in nothing lacking.
5 Kana mumwe wenyu achishayiwa uchenjeri, ngaakumbire kuna Mwari, anopa zvakawanda kuna vose asingatsvaki mhosva, uye achapiwa hake.
If now any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask from the [One] giving God to all generously and (not *NK(o)*) finding fault, and it will be given to him.
6 Asi paanokumbira, anofanira kutenda asinganyunyuti, nokuti uyo anonyunyuta akaita sefungu regungwa, rinosundwa uye rinomutswa-mutswa nemhepo.
he should ask however in faith nothing doubting; The [one] for doubting he has been likened to a wave of [the] sea being blown by the wind and being tossed by the wind.
7 Munhu uyu ngaarege kufunga kuti achagamuchira chinhu chipi zvacho kubva kuna She;
Not for should suppose the man that that he will receive anything from the Lord;
8 munhu ane mwoyo miviri, anongoshanduka-shanduka mune zvose zvaanoita.
[He is] a man double-minded unstable in all the ways of him.
9 Hama iri panzvimbo yokuninipiswa ngaifare muchinzvimbo chayo chokukudzwa.
should boast however the brother of low degree in the exaltation of him,
10 Asi mupfumi anofanira kufara muchinzvimbo chokuderedzwa kwake, nokuti achapfuura seruva romusango.
he who [is] then rich in the humiliation of him because like a flower of grass he will pass away.
11 Nokuti zuva rinobuda nokupisa kwakanyanya rigoomesa uswa; ruva rahwo rinodonha uye kunaka kwaro kwoparadzwa. Nenzira imwe cheteyo, mupfumi achasvava kunyange achiri kuita basa rake.
Has risen for the sun with [its] burning heat and withered the grass and the flower of it has fallen and the beauty of the appearance of it has perished; Thus also the rich [man] in the midst of the pursuits of him will fade away.
12 Akaropafadzwa munhu anotsunga pakuedzwa, nokuti paanokunda, achapiwa korona youpenyu yakavimbiswa naMwari kuna avo vanomuda.
Blessed [is the] man who endures trial, because approved having been he will receive the crown of life that He has promised (the Lord *K*) to those loving Him.
13 Pamunenge muchiedzwa, ngakurege kuva nomunhu anoti, “Mwari ari kundiedza.” Nokuti Mwari haagoni kuedzwa nechakaipa, uye haaedzi munhu;
No one being tempted should say that By (*k*) God I am being tempted; For God unable to be tempted is by evils, tempts now He Himself no [one];
14 asi mumwe nomumwe anoedzwa paanenge achikwevewa nokuchiva kwake kwakaipa uye achinyengerwa.
A man however is tempted by the own desire being drawn away and being enticed;
15 Ipapo kuchiva kukange kwaumbwa kunobereka chivi; uye chivi, chikange chakura kwazvo, chinobereka rufu.
Then desire having conceived it gives birth to sin, and sin having become fully grown it brings forth death.
16 Musanyengerwa, hama dzangu dzinodikanwa.
Not do be misled, brothers of mine beloved;
17 Chipo chose chakanaka uye chakakwana chinobva kumusoro kudenga, chinoburuka chichibva kuna Baba wezviedza zvokudenga, asingashanduki semimvuri inopinduka.
Every act of giving good and every gift perfect from above is coming down from the Father of lights with whom not there is variation or of shifting shadow.
18 Akasarudza kutibereka kubudikidza neshoko rechokwadi, kuti tive mhando yechibereko chokutanga chezvisikwa zvake.
Having willed [it] He brought forth us by [the] word of truth, for to be us firstfruits a certain of His creatures.
19 Hama dzangu dzinodikanwa, cherechedzai izvi: Munhu mumwe nomumwe anofanira kukurumidza kunzwa, kunonoka kutaura nokunonoka kutsamwa,
(You should know *N(K)O*) brothers of mine beloved; should be (however *no*) every man swift unto to hear, slow unto to speak, slow unto anger.
20 nokuti kutsamwa kwomunhu hakuuyisi upenyu hwakarurama hunodikanwa naMwari.
[the] anger for of man [the] righteousness of God not (works. *N(k)O*)
21 Naizvozvo, bvisai tsvina yose uye nokuipa kwakawanda, mugogamuchira nokuzvininipisa, shoko rakasimwa mamuri, rinogona kukuponesai.
Therefore having put aside all filthiness and excess of wickedness in humility do receive the implanted word which is being able to save the souls of you.
22 Musangova vanzwi veshoko bedzi, uye nokudaro muchizvinyengera. Itai zvarinoreva.
do be however doers of [the] word and not only hearers deceiving yourselves.
23 Ani naani anoteerera kushoko asi asingaiti zvarinoreva akaita somunhu anotarira chiso chake muchionioni
because if anyone a hearer of [the] word is and not a doer, this one has been likened to a man looking at the face the natural of him in a mirror;
24 uye, mushure mokuzvitarira, anoenda uye nokukurumidza anokanganwa kuti anoratidzika sei.
he has viewed for himself and has gone away and immediately he has forgotten what like he was.
25 Asi munhu anonyatsotarisa mumurayiro wakakwana uyo unopa rusununguko, uye achiramba achiita izvozvo, asingakanganwi zvaanzwa, asi achizviita, acharopafadzwa pane zvaanoita.
The [one] however having looked intently into [the] law perfect that of freedom and having continued in [it], (this *k*) not a hearer forgetful having been but a doer of [the] work — this one blessed in the work to be done by him will be.
26 Kana munhu upi zvake achizviti akarurama uye asingachengeti rurimi rwake zvakasimba, anozvinyengera uye chinamato chake hachina maturo.
If anyone seems religious to be (among you *K*) not bridling [the] tongue (of him *NK(o)*) but deceiving [the] heart (of him, *NK(o)*) of this one worthless [is] the religion.
27 Kunamata kunodikanwa naMwari Baba vedu kwakachena, uye kusina chakungapomerwa ndokuku: kuchengeta nherera nechirikadzi mukutambudzika kwavo uye nokuzvichengeta kuti urege kusvibiswa nenyika.
Religion pure and undefiled before the God and Father this is, to visit orphans and widows in the tribulation of them, unstained oneself to keep from the world.
