Jakobho 4
1 Dzinobvepi hondo nekurwa pakati penyu? Hazvibvi apa here, pakuchiva kwenyu kunorwa pamitezo yenyu?
Kuzwa kuli kupopotezyania ampyopyongano akati kenu? Tazizwidi muziyandisyo zyenu na eezyo zilwana akati kenu nubeni?
2 Munoshuva, asi hamuna chinhu; munouraya uye munoshumba, asi hamugoni kuwana chinhu; munorwa muchiita hondo, asi hamuna chinhu, nokuti hamukumbiri.
Mulapeekezya, pesi tamukwepe. Mulajaya akuba bbivwe, pesi tamukonzyi kujana. Mulalwana akupopotezyania. Takwe anchimulacho nkambo tamukumbili.
3 Munokumbira, asi hamugamuchiri, nokuti munokumbira zvakaipa, kuti muparadze pakuchiva kwenyu.
Mulakumbila pesi tamupegwi nkambo mukumbila aanzila italuleme, mukuyanda kuti muyibelesye kuziyandisyo zyenu.
4 Imwi mhombwe nemhombwekadzi, hamuzivi here kuti ushamwari hwenyika ruvengo kuna Mwari? Naizvozvo umwe neumwe anoda kuva shamwari yenyika, anova muvengi waMwari.
Nywebo nobasimamaambe! Tamwizi na kuti buzolwani enyika nkulwana a-Leza? Nkokwamba kuti kufumbwa ulisalila kuba mwenzinyina wanyika ulichita sinkondonyina a Leza.
5 Kana munofunga kuti rugwaro rwunotaura pasina maturo here kuti: Mweya wakagara mukati medu anochivira godo?
Na muyeya kuti malembe awamba zyabiyo aamba kuti, “Imuuya ngwakachita kuti upone mulindiswe uli abbivwe loko”?
6 Asi anopa nyasha huru; saka anoti: Mwari anopikisa vanozvikudza, asi anopa nyasha vanozvininipisa.
Pesi Leza uupa luzyalo lwiingi, aboobo malembe awamba kuti, “Leza ulabakazya basikuliyanda, pesi ufwida luzyalo kuli balibombya.”
7 Naizvozvo muzviise pasi kuna Mwari; pikisai dhiabhorosi, zvino achakutizai.
Nkokuti amulipede kuli Leza. Mumukkake satani, alimwi ulamutantamuka.
8 Swederai kuna Mwari, naiye achaswedera kwamuri; shambai maoko, vatadzi, uye muchenure moyo, imwi vemoyo miviri.
Amuswene afwifwi a Leza, alimwi uleza afwifwi andinywe, Amusalazye maboko eenu, inywe nobasizibi, alimwi musalazye myoyo yenu, inywe nobasimyoyo ibili.
9 Tambudzikai uye chemai uye rirai; kuseka kwenyu ngakushandurwe kuve kuchema, nemufaro uve kusuruvara.
Mumvwe machise, mupwaye mibila, akulila! Muchite kuti kuseka kwenu kube mawuse alimwi lukondo lwenu kube kukankabala.
10 Zvininipisei pamberi paIshe, uye achakusimudzai.
Amulibombye kunembo lya Mwami, alimwi uyomupa bulemu.
11 Musareverana zvakaipa, hama. Anorevera hama zvakaipa uye kutonga hama yake, anorevera murairo zvakaipa, nekutonga murairo; zvino kana uchitonga murairo, hausi muiti wemurairo, asi mutongi.
Tamunowambuli chakutamikizyania, nobakwesu. Imuntu uwambula bubi aatala amuzyalwanyina na kupa mulandu kumuzyalwa nyina ukazyania amulawu alimwi uupa mulawu mulandu. Kutikopa mulawu mulandu, toli simuchita mulawu pe, pesi uli mubetesi.
12 Umwe chete ndiye mutemi wemurairo, anogona kuponesa nekuparadza; iwe ndiwe ani anotonga umwe?
Ngumwi biyo sikupa mulawu mubetesi. Ngooyo ukonzya kufutula akujaya. Nduweni, iwebo noopa mulalandu kuli simayake nyokwe?
13 Uyai ikozvino imwi munoti: Nhasi kana mangwana tichaenda kuguta rekuti, tigogarako gore rimwe, tigotengeserana, tigowana mubairo;
Muswilizye lino, inywe nimwamba kuti, “sunu kana ijunza tuyonjila muchisi eechi, tukakkale munyaka nkukooko, tukasambale, alimwi tukajane impindu.”
14 imwi musingazivi zvamangwana. Nokuti upenyu hwenyu chii? Nokuti imhute inoonekwa nguva diki, ipapo ndokunyangarika.
Ngwani uuzi zitakachitike juunza, alimwi buumi bwako niinzi? Nkambo nduwe sikkunkwe uuboneka kwachiindi chinini mpawo wamwayika.
15 Pakuti muti: Kana Ishe achida, tichararamawo, tigoita ichi kana icho.
Anukuti, mwelede kwamba kuti, “Na Mwami kayanda, tulapona alimwi tuchite eechi kana echiya.”
16 Asi ikozvino munozvirumbidza pakuzvikudza kwenyu; kuzvirumbidza kwese kwakadai kwakaipa.
Pesi lino mulalikankayizya aatala amabambe aanu. Kulikankayizya kuli bobiya konse nkubi.
17 Naizvozvo anoziva kuita zvakanaka asingazviiti, chivi kwaari.
Nkinkaako kuli woonse uuzi kuchita kabotu pesi katazichiti, kulinguwe nchoono.
