Yakobo 3
1 Me nuanom, ɛnyɛ mo nyinaa na ɛsɛ sɛ moyɛ mo ho akyerɛkyerɛfoɔ, ɛfiri sɛ, monim sɛ yɛn akyerɛkyerɛfoɔ deɛ sɛ yɛfom a, wɔbɛbu yɛn atɛn a emu yɛ den sene afoforɔ.
Bazalwane bami, abanengi benu akumelanga babe ngabafundisi ngoba liyakwazi ukuthi thina esifundisayo sizakwahlulelwa kalukhunikazi.
2 Yɛn nyinaa taa yɛ mfomsoɔ. Onipa a ɔnyɛ mfomsoɔ wɔ deɛ ɔka mu no yɛ pɛ a ɔbɛtumi ahyɛ ne onipadua no so.
Sonke siyakhubeka ngezindlela ezinengi. Nxa umuntu engakaze abelesici kulokho akutshoyo, ungumuntu opheleleyo, oyenelisayo ukuwubamba wonke umzimba wakhe.
3 Yɛde nnareka to ɔpɔnkɔ anom sɛdeɛ ɔbɛtie yɛn na yɛatumi ama wakɔ baabiara a yɛpɛ sɛ ɔkɔ.
Lapho sifaka amatomu emilonyeni yamabhiza ukuba asilalele, ibhiza singaliphendula lonke.
4 Anaasɛ dwene ɛhyɛn ho: sɛdeɛ ne kɛseɛ te a mframa a ano yɛ den na ɛbɔ no, nanso wɔtumi de akyerɛkyerɛkwan ketewaa bi na ɛdanedane no ma ɛkɔ baabi a hyɛnkafoɔ no pɛ sɛ ɛkɔ.
Kumbe lithathe imikhumbi njengesibonelo. Lanxa imikhulu kangaka njalo iqhutshwa ngumoya olamandla, iqondiswa ngophinyana oluncane loba kungaphi lapho umtshayeli afuna ukuya khona.
5 Saa ara na tɛkrɛma teɛ: ne ketewa yi nyinaa akyi, ɛtumi hoahoa nneɛma akɛseɛ. Hwɛ sɛdeɛ ogya ketewaa bi tumi hye kwaeɛ kɛseɛ.
Ngokufanayo ulimi luyisitho esincane somzimba kodwa luyazincoma kakhulu. Cabangani ngehlathi elikhulu elithungelwa yinhlansi encane yomlilo.
6 Tɛkrɛma te sɛ ogya. Ɛwɔ tumi bɔne bi wɔ onipa akwaa mu. Ɛsɛe onipadua no nyinaa; ɛsɔ onipa abrabɔ nyinaa so ogya ma ɛdɛre framfram. (Geenna g1067)
Ulimi lalo lungumlilo, umhlaba wobubi phakathi kwezitho zomzimba. Lungcolisa lonke uqobo lomuntu, luyithungele ngomlilo yonke impilo yakhe, lalo luthungelwe yisihogo somlilo. (Geenna g1067)
7 Onipa tumi dwodwo mmoadoma, nnomaa, mmoa a wɔwea fam, ɛpo mu mmoa nyinaa,
Zonke inhlobo zezinyamazana, izinyoni, lezihuquzelayo kanye lezidalwa zasolwandle ziyathanjiswa njalo sezathanjiswa ngumuntu,
8 nanso obiara rentumi nnwodwo tɛkrɛma da. Ɛyɛ bɔne a ɔnhome so na awuduro ahyɛ no ma.
kodwa akulamuntu ongathambisa ulimi, luyibubi obuyaluzelayo, lugcwele itshefu ebulalayo.
9 Yɛde tɛkrɛma kamfo yɛn Awurade ne yɛn Agya na yɛde ɛno ara nso adome nnipa a wɔbɔɔ wɔn Onyankopɔn sɛso so.
Ngolimi siyayibonga iNkosi uBaba, njalo ngalo sithuka abantu abenziwa ngomfanekiso kaNkulunkulu.
10 Ano korɔ no ara mu na nkamfo ne nnome firi ba. Me nuanom, ɛnsɛ sɛ ɛba saa.
Emlonyeni munye kuphuma ukubonga lokuthuka. Bazalwane bami, lokhu akufanelanga.
11 Nsuo pa ne nsuo a ɛyɛ nkyenenkyene bɛtumi afiri asutire baako mu aba?
Kambe amanzi amnandi lamanzi aletswayi angagobhoza mthombo munye na?
12 Me nuanom, borɔdɔma dua bɛtumi aso ngo dua aba? Anaasɛ bobe bɛtumi aso borɔdɔma? Saa ara na asutire a ɛyɛ nkyenenkyene remma nsu pa.
Bazalwane bami, umkhiwa ungathela ama-oliva na, kumbe ivini lithele imikhiwa na? Lomthombo oletswayi awungeke ukhuphe amanzi amnandi.
13 Obi wɔ mo mu a ɔnim nyansa na ɔwɔ nteaseɛ? Ɛsɛ sɛ ɔnam abrabɔ pa, nnwuma pa a wɔnam ahobrɛaseɛ ne nyansa so da no adi.
Ngubani ohlakaniphileyo loqedisisayo phakathi kwenu na? Kakubonakalise ngokuphila kwakhe kuhle, langezenzo ezenziwa ngokuzithoba okuvela ekuhlakanipheni.
14 Na sɛ mowɔ nitan, mansotwe ne pɛsɛmenkomenya wɔ mo akoma mu a, ɛnneɛ ɛnsɛ sɛ mohoahoa mo ho, na nam so ka nkontompo tia nokorɛ.
Kodwa nxa ligcine umhawu lokulangazela kobukhwele ezinhliziyweni zenu, lingazincomi ngakho kumbe liphike iqiniso.
15 Saa nyansa yi mfiri ɔsoro na ɛbaeɛ. Ɛyɛ ewiase nyansa na ɛyɛ honhommɔne nso.
“Ukuhlakanipha” okunjalo kakwehli kuvela ezulwini, kodwa ngokwasemhlabeni, akusikomoya, ngokwamadimoni.
16 Baabiara a nitan ne pɛsɛmenkomenya wɔ no, basabasa ne bɔne ahodoɔ nyinaa bi wɔ hɔ.
Ngoba lapho okulomhawu khona lokutshisekela kokuzisuthisa kulapho okutholakala khona ingxabangxoza kanye lezenzo zonke ezimbi.
17 Nanso, nyansa a ɛfiri ɔsoro no yɛ kronkron; asomdwoeɛ wɔ mu, ɛdwo na ɛwɔ nidɔ; ɛwɔ ahummɔborɔ na nneyɛeɛ pa firi mu ba; ɛnnye akyinnyeɛ na ɛnyɛ nyaatwom nso.
Kodwa ukuhlakanipha okuvela ezulwini kuqala ngokuhlambuluka; besekuthanda ukuthula, kulozwelo, kuyazehlisa, kugcwele isihawu lezithelo ezinhle, kakukhethi njalo kuqotho.
18 Na ɛso aba pa a ɛfiri aba a asomdwoeɛfoɔ duaa no asomdwoeɛ mu no.
Abalamuli abahlanyela ukuthula bathola isivuno sokulunga.
