Yakobo 2
1 Me nuanom, sɛ moyɛ agyidifoɔ wɔ Awurade Kristo animuonyam mu yi, monnyɛ animhwɛ.
Bhalongo bhangu musijhikesi imani jha Bwana Yesu Kristu, Bwana bhwa utukufu, kwa kupendelela bhanu fulani.
2 Sɛ mohyia a, ɔdefoɔ a ɔhyɛ mpɛtea ne ntade pa ne ohiani bi nso a ɔhyɛ ntadego nso 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 anidie ma deɛ wasiesie ne ho yie no, na woka kyerɛ no sɛ, “Tena saa akonnwa pa yi so,” na woka kyerɛ ohiani no nso sɛ, “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 wodi fɔ sɛ wogyina atemmuo a ɛfiri adwemmɔne mu de nyiyimu abɛto mo mu no ho.
Je, mwihuku mulana mwebhene, ni kujha bhaamuzi bhabhajhele ni mabhwasu mabhibhi?
5 Me nuanom adɔfoɔ, montie! Onyankopɔn yii ewiase yi mu ahiafoɔ sɛ wɔnyɛ adefoɔ wɔ gyidie mu na wɔanya ahennie 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 ahiafoɔ! Ɛhefoɔ na wɔdi mo nya twe mo kɔ atemmufoɔ anim? Adefoɔ!
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 Ɛyɛ sɛ modi yɛn Awurade mmara a ɛka sɛ, “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, modi ho fɔ na Mmara no tia mo sɛ mmaratofoɔ.
Lakini kama mwipendelela baadhi jha bhanu, mwibetakubhamba dhambi mwihukumibhwa ni sheria kujha ndo bhavunja sheria.
10 Obiara a ɔbu 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 Ɛfiri sɛ, deɛ ɔkaa sɛ, “Nsɛe awadeɛ” no, ɔno ara nso na ɔkaa sɛ, “Nni awu.” Na sɛ woansɛe awadeɛ na wodi 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 apɛdeɛ o, sɛ woanyɛ nʼapɛdeɛ o, wobɛbu wo ho atɛn. Enti hwɛ asɛm a woka ne deɛ woyɛ biara yie.
Henu mulongelayi ni kutii kama bhanfa ambabho bha mujhele karibu kuhukumulibhwa ni sheria jha uhuru.
13 Ɛfiri sɛ, obi a wanhunu mmɔbɔ no, Onyankopɔn atemmuo mu no, wɔrenhunu no mmɔbɔ. Nanso atemmuo mu mpo no, Onyankopɔn hunu mmɔbɔ.
Kwa kujha hukumu jhihida bila huruma kwa bhala bhabhabeli kujha ni huruma. Huruma jhikiwa tukusya kunani jha hukumu.
14 Me nuanom, sɛ obi ka sɛ, “Mewɔ gyidie” na ɔnni gyidie no ho dwuma a, mfasoɔ bɛn na ɛwɔ soɔ? Saa gyidie no bɛtumi agye no nkwa anaa?
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 ntoma ho hia wɔn na wɔnni aduane dodoɔ nso a wɔbɛdi,
kama bhalongosi au bhakidala ndo jhailonda ghwa maguanda au kya kulya kya khila ligono.
16 sɛ wokɔka kyerɛ wɔn sɛ, “Onyame nhyira mo! Mo ho nyɛ mo hye na monnidi yie” na sɛ woamma wɔn asetena yi mu deɛ ɛhia 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 gyidie teɛ. Sɛ nneyɛeɛ nka ho a, na awu.
Hali mebhu, imani jhiene kama jhibeli kujha ni matendu, jhifuili.
18 Nanso, obi bɛtumi aka sɛ, “Obi wɔ gyidie na afoforɔ nso wɔ nneyɛeɛ.” Me mmuaeɛ ne sɛ, “Kyerɛ me sɛdeɛ obi tumi nya gyidie a nneyɛeɛ mmata ho ase. Me deɛ menam me nneyɛeɛ so bɛkyerɛ wo me gyidie.”
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 Wogye di sɛ Onyankopɔn baako pɛ na ɔwɔ hɔ? Ɛyɛ! Ahonhommɔne nso gye di saa ara na wɔn ho popo wɔ suro 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 gyidie a nneyɛeɛ mmata ho no ho nni mfasoɔ anaa?
Je wilonda kumanya, ewe munu mpumbafu namna ambavyo imani ejhu bila matendo kyajholondekalepi?
21 Ɛyɛɛ dɛn na Onyankopɔn buu Abraham bem? Ɛnam ne nneyɛeɛ so sɛ ɔde ne ba Isak maa wɔ afɔrebukyia so no.
Je, Dadi jhinu Abramu lepi jhaabhalangibhu haki kwa matendo paambosili mwanamunu Isaka panani pa madhabhahu?
22 Wohunu sɛ ne gyidie ne ne nneyɛeɛ nyinaa redi dwuma na ne nneyɛeɛ no maa ne gyidie 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 Atwerɛsɛm no baa mu sɛ, Abraham gyee Onyankopɔn diiɛ na ɛsiane ne gyidie no enti, Onyankopɔn gyee no sɛ ɔteneneeni. 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 Yei da no adi pefee sɛ Onyankopɔn nam onipa nneyɛeɛ so na ɔbu no bem, na ɛnnam ne gyidie nko so.
Mwilola kujha kwa matendo munu ibhelangibhwa haki, na sio kwa imani jhiene.
25 Saa ara na ɛte wɔ adwaman Rahab ho. Ne nneyɛeɛ maa Onyankopɔn buu no bem, ɛfiri sɛ, ɔgyee Yudafoɔ bi a wɔsomaa wɔn, boaa wɔn ma wɔdwane faa ɛkwan foforɔ bi so.
Hali mabhu je, ajhelepi Rahabu jhola kahaba jhaabhalangibhu haki kwa matendo, bho abhakaribisi bhajumbe ni kubhapeleka kwa Baraba jhenge?
26 Sɛdeɛ onipadua a honhom nni mu awuo no, saa ara nso na gyidie a nneyɛeɛ mmata ho no nso awuo.
Kwa kujha kama vile mb'ele likabelajhi kujha ni roho ufuili fefuefu mebhu imani bila matendo jhifuili.
