Yakobo 2
1 Me nuanom, sɛ moyɛ agyidifo wɔ Awurade Kristo anuonyam mu yi, monnyɛ nhwɛanim.
Bhalongo bhangu musijhikesi imani jha Bwana Yesu Kristu, Bwana bhwa utukufu, kwa kupendelela bhanu fulani.
2 Sɛ muhyia a, ɔdefo a ɔhyɛ mpɛtea ne ntade pa ne ohiani bi nso a ɔhyɛ ntadegow nyinaa tumi ba bi.
Kama munu fulani akahingilayi mu lukomanu kati jha muenga afwalili pete sya dhahabu ni maguanda manofu, Kabhele akajhingila maskini jhaajhele ni maguanda machafu,
3 Sɛ wode nidi ma nea wasiesie ne ho yiye no, na woka kyerɛ no se, “Tena saa akongua pa yi so,” na woka kyerɛ ohiani no nso se, “Sɔre gyina hɔ anaa tena fam wɔ me nan ase ha” a,
na mwalasili kun'jali nesu jhola jha ajhele ni maguanda manofu ni kujobha, “Chondi bhebhe tamayi apa jha ujhele ni maguanda manofu, “Lakini mwan'jobhili masikini jhola, “Bhebhe jhemayi pala.” au tamayi pasi pa magolo gha nene.”
4 wudi fɔ sɛ wugyina atemmu a efi adwemmɔne mu de nyiyimu abɛto mo mu no ho.
Je, mwihuku mulana mwebhene, ni kujha bhaamuzi bhabhajhele ni mabhwasu mabhibhi?
5 Me nuanom adɔfo, muntie! Onyankopɔn yii wiase yi mu ahiafo sɛ wɔnyɛ adefo wɔ gyidi mu na wɔanya ahenni a ɔhyɛɛ wɔn a wɔdɔ no no ho bɔ no.
Mup'elesiajhi bhalongo bhangu bhaganwa, je, K'yara abhasalili lepi bhab'onji bha dunia, kujha matajiri mu iihiani nikurithi bhufalme bhwa abha ahidili bhabhan'ganili?
6 Nanso moammu ahiafo! Ɛhefo na wodi mo nya twe mo kɔ atemmufo anim? Adefo!
Lakini mubhajimu ili bhabonji! Je bhatajiri lepi bhabhakabheta sya muenga, na bhenelepi bhabhakabharundusya mu mahakama?
7 Wɔne nnipa a wɔkasa tia din pa a wɔde ama mo no.
Je, matajiri lepi bhabhakaliligha lihina lela linofu ambalyo mwikutibhwa?
8 Eye sɛ mudi yɛn Awurade mmara a ɛka se, “Dɔ wo yɔnko sɛ wo ho” no so.
Hata naha, kama mwitimisya jhela sheria jha kifalme kama kya jhilembibhu mu majkandiku, “Wibetakun'gana jirani gha jhobhi kama ghwe muene,” Mwiketa kinofu.
9 Na sɛ mohwɛ nnipa anim de gye wɔn a, mudi ho fɔ na mmara no di tia mo sɛ mmaratofo.
Lakini kama mwipendelela baadhi jha bhanu, mwibetakubhamba dhambi mwihukumibhwa ni sheria kujha ndo bhavunja sheria.
10 Obiara a obu mmara no mu baako pɛ so no bu ne nyinaa so.
Kwa kujha jhejhioha jhaitii sheria jhioha, ni akona akikungufuili mu nukta jhimonga tu, ajhhele ni hatia jha kuvunja sheria jhioha!
11 Efisɛ nea ɔkae se, “Nsɛe aware” no, ɔno ara nso na ɔkae se, “Nni awu.” Na sɛ woansɛe aware na wudi awu a, woabu mmara so.
Kwa kujha K'yara jha ajobhili, “Usikomil kama wihonganalepi, lakini wikoma umelili kubomola sheria jha K'yara.
12 Sɛ woyɛ Kristo apɛde o, sɛ woanyɛ nʼapɛde o, wubebu wo ho atɛn. Enti hwɛ asɛm a woka ne nea woyɛ biara yiye.
Henu mulongelayi ni kutii kama bhanfa ambabho bha mujhele karibu kuhukumulibhwa ni sheria jha uhuru.
13 Efisɛ obi a wanhu mmɔbɔ no, Onyankopɔn atemmu mu no, wɔrenhu no mmɔbɔ. Nanso mmɔborɔhunu bunkam atemmu so.
Kwa kujha hukumu jhihida bila huruma kwa bhala bhabhabeli kujha ni huruma. Huruma jhikiwa tukusya kunani jha hukumu.
14 Me nuanom, sɛ obi ka se, “Mewɔ gyidi” na onni gyidi no ho dwuma a, mfaso bɛn na ɛwɔ so? Saa gyidi no betumi agye no nkwa ana?
Kujhe ni unofu bholokhi bhalongo bhangu, kama munu ijobha nijhe ni imani lakini ajhelepi ni matendo? Je, imani ejhu njhihotola kumwokola?
15 Sɛ anuanom bi wɔ hɔ a ntama ho hia wɔn na wonni aduan dodow nso a wobedi,
kama bhalongosi au bhakidala ndo jhailonda ghwa maguanda au kya kulya kya khila ligono.
16 na sɛ wokɔka kyerɛ wɔn se, “Onyame nhyira mo! Mo ho nyɛ mo hyew na munnidi yiye” na sɛ woamma wɔn asetena yi mu nea ehia wɔn a, papa bɛn na woayɛ wɔn?
Ni mmonga bhinu akabhajobhela, “Mulotayi kwa amani mukajhotayi muoto na mkaliajhi kinofu.” Lakini mukabhapelalepi mahitaji, mhimu gha mbele, ejhu jhifu ajhi kiki?
17 Saa ara na gyidi te. Sɛ nneyɛe nka ho a, na awu.
Hali mebhu, imani jhiene kama jhibeli kujha ni matendu, jhifuili.
18 Nanso obi betumi aka se, “Obi wɔ gyidi na afoforo nso wɔ nneyɛe.” Me mmuae ne sɛ, “Kyerɛ me sɛnea obi tumi nya gyidi a nneyɛe mmata ho ase. Me de, menam me nneyɛe so bɛkyerɛ wo me gyidi.”
Bado munu fulani i9bhwesya kujobha, “Ujhe ni imani, ni nene nijhe ni matendo.” Nilasiajhi imani jha jhobhi bila matendo, nani nibeta kulasya imani jha nene kwa matendo gha nene.
19 Wugye di sɛ Onyankopɔn baako pɛ na ɔwɔ hɔ? Eye! Ahonhommɔne nso gye di saa ara na wɔn ho popo wɔ osuro mu.
Bhaamini kujha ajhe K'yara mmonga: ujhe sahihi. Lakini mapepo na ghene ghiamini mebhu ni kud'egeda.
20 Ɔkwasea! Wopɛ sɛ wɔka kyerɛ wo sɛ gyidi a nneyɛe mmata ho no so nni mfaso ana?
Je wilonda kumanya, ewe munu mpumbafu namna ambavyo imani ejhu bila matendo kyajholondekalepi?
21 Ɛyɛɛ dɛn na Onyankopɔn buu Abraham bem? Ɛnam ne nneyɛe so sɛ ɔde ne ba Isak maa wɔ afɔremuka so no.
Je, Dadi jhinu Abramu lepi jhaabhalangibhu haki kwa matendo paambosili mwanamunu Isaka panani pa madhabhahu?
22 Wuhu sɛ ne gyidi ne ne nneyɛe nyinaa redi dwuma na ne nneyɛe no maa ne gyidi no dii mu.
Mwabhwene imani jha muene jhabhombili mbombo ni matendo gha muene, ni kwa matendo gha muene, imani jha muene jhafikili kusudio lya muene.
23 Na Kyerɛwsɛm no baa mu se, Abraham gyee Onyankopɔn dii na esiane ne gyidi no nti, Onyankopɔn gyee no sɛ ɔtreneeni. Enti wɔfrɛ Abraham Onyankopɔn adamfo.
Majhandiku ghatimisibhu ghaghijobha, Abrahamu an'jobhili K'yara, na abhalangibhu kujha ndo mwenye haki.” Efyo Abrahamu akutibhu rafiki ghwa K'yara.
24 Eyi da no adi pefee sɛ Onyankopɔn nam onipa nneyɛe so na obu no bem, na ɛnnam ne gyidi nko so.
Mwilola kujha kwa matendo munu ibhelangibhwa haki, na sio kwa imani jhiene.
25 Saa ara na ɛte wɔ aguaman Rahab ho. Ne nneyɛe maa Onyankopɔn buu no bem, efisɛ ogyee Yudafo bi a wɔsomaa wɔn, boaa wɔn ma woguan faa ɔkwan foforo bi so.
Hali mabhu je, ajhelepi Rahabu jhola kahaba jhaabhalangibhu haki kwa matendo, bho abhakaribisi bhajumbe ni kubhapeleka kwa Baraba jhenge?
26 Sɛnea onipadua a honhom nni mu awu no, saa ara nso na gyidi a nneyɛe mmata ho no nso awu.
Kwa kujha kama vile mb'ele likabelajhi kujha ni roho ufuili fefuefu mebhu imani bila matendo jhifuili.
