Jakobho 3
1 Musava vadzidzisi vazhinji, hama dzangu, muchiziva kuti tichagamuchira kutongwa kukuru.
Ibiingi benu tabeelede kuba bayiisyi pe, nobakwesu, nkambo mulizi kuti iswe nituyiisya tuyobetekwa zikkalikali.
2 Nokuti tese tinogumburwa pazvinhu zvizhinji. Kana umwe asingagumburwi pashoko, ndiye murume wakaperedzerwa, anogona kudzorawo muviri wese.
Nkambo toonse tuladadalika munzila inyingi. Kuti umwi muntu katadadaliki kumajwi, ooyo muntu uliluleme chakumaninina, kakkonzya akululamika mubili wakwe woonse.
3 Tarira, tinoisa matomu mumiromo yemabhiza kuti atiteerere, ndokutenderedza muviri wawo wese.
Lino kuti twabikka nkabyo mumulomo wamabbiza kuti atulemeke, tulakonzya alimwi kululamika mibili yawo.
4 Tarirai, nezvikepe, kunyange zviri zvikuru zvakadai, uye zvichitinhwa nemhepo dzine simba, zvinonangiswa nechidzoreso chidiki diki, chero kupi kunodikanwa nechishuwo chemufambisi.
Amuzibe alimwi ikuti maato, nikuba kuti mapati byeni alimwi aleenzegwa aluuwo, alayambwa ansoke nini loko kuyosika kufumbwa nkwayanda sikwayenzya ensoke.
5 Rwakadarowo rurimi rwuri mutezo mudiki, uye rwunozvirumbidza zvikuru. Tarirai, moto mudiki unotungidza matanda akakura sei!
Muli eyi inzila, lulimi nchizo chinini loko, pesi lukomezya zintu zipati loko. Amubone alimwi kalilo kanini mbukatantezya lusaka loonse.
6 Nerurimi moto, nyika yeuipi; ndizvo zvakaita rurimi rwakaiswa pakati pemitezo yedu, rwunosvibisa muviri wese, nekutungidza nzira yeupenyu, uye rwunotungidzwa negehena. (Geenna g1067)
Lulimi alulalo nkalilo, inyika yazibi ibikidwe mukkati kabamwi besu. Lulimi lubozeka mubili woonse, luumpa buumi boonse, alimwi alulalo lubikwa mumulilo mubbibi lyazibi. (Geenna g1067)
7 Nokuti marudzi ese emhuka neeshiriwo, neezvesewo zvinokambaira neezvisikwa zvegungwa anopingudzwa uye akapingudzwa nechisikirwo chevanhu;
Nkambo woonse musyobo wamunyanyama wamulusaka, bayuni, tukwaba, azyuuka zyamulwizi zilivubidwe alimwi zilazyolololwa abantu.
8 asi hakuna munhu anogona kupingudza rurimi; uipi husingadzoreki, rwuzere nechepfu inouraya.
Pesi kumakani alulimi, tawope muntu ukonzya kululamika lulimi. Nchintu chitalulamikiki, chizwide buyoka bujaya.
9 Narwo tinorumbidza Mwari uye Baba, narwowo tinotuka vanhu vakaitwa nemufananidzo waMwari;
Andulo lulimi tulalumbayizya Mwami wesu a Taata, alimwi tupa bantu milandu andulo, ibantu bakalengwa muchikozyano a Leza.
10 mumuromo umwewo munobva kurumbidza nekutuka. Hazvina kufanira, hama dzangu, izvi zvive saizvozvo.
Kuzwa mumulomo nguwo omwe kuzwa zilongezyo azisapi zyamilandu, Nobakwesu, eezi zintu tazyelede kunochitika pe.
11 Chitubu chingadzutura pamuromo umwe chinonaka nechinovava here?
Sa ikasensa komwe kalazwa maanzi manono amanzi apanyuka?
12 Hama dzangu, muonde unogona kubereka maorivhi here, kana muzambiringa maonde? Saizvozvo hakuna chitubu chinobudisa mvura inovava neinonaka.
Imukkuyu ulachita na nobakwesu, kuzyala insikili? Kana kuti masansa, azyale nkuyu? Aalo manzi tachikonzeki pe kuti akasensa komwe kuzwe alweela amanzi alamunse munono.
13 Ndiani wakachenjera neanonzwisisa pakati penyu? Ngaaratidze nemufambiro wakanaka mabasa ake neunyoro hweuchenjeri.
Alimwi ngwani musongo umvwisisisya aakati kenu? Mumuleke muntu oto atondeezye buumi bwakwe bubotu kwinda kumilimu yakwe mubuntu bwabusongo.
14 Asi kana mune godo rinovava nerukave mumoyo wenyu, musazvirumbidza nekurevera chokwadi nhema.
Pesi kuti koli aabbivwe lipanyuka amakanze mumoyo wako, ulikankayizyi pe akubejela kasimpe.
15 Uhu hausi uchenjeri hunoburuka kubva kumusoro, asi hwenyika, hwechisikirwo, hweudhimoni.
Obu tensi mbombubo pe busongo buza aansi kabuzwa kujulu. Pesi, tabukwe chintu, tabukwe muuya, buli amadimoni.
16 Nokuti pane godo nerukave, ndipo pane nyongano nekuita kwese kwakaipa.
Nkambo awo ali bbivwe alukazyanyo, nkokuko kuli lupyopyongano anchito zyabulozi.
17 Asi uchenjeri hunobva kumusoro pakutanga hwakachena, kozouya kuva nerugare, kunyorova, kuteerera, kuzara netsitsi nezvibereko zvakanaka, husina kutsaura, uye husina kunyengera.
Pesi busongo buzwa kujulu lutanzi bulasalala, alimwi mbwalumuuno, bulatontola, bulalibombya, mbwamiyeeyo mibotu, buzwide ilwetelelo amichelo mibotu, tabujisi lwanzano lwamoyo lwamoyo alimwi buli bwinibwini.
18 Uye chibereko chekururama chinodzvarwa murugare kune vanoita rugare.
Alimwi imichelo yabululami ilabyalwa muluumuno mukkati kabaabo bachita chalumuno.
