< Yakobo 1 >
1 Krataa yi firi me Yakobo a meyɛ Onyankopɔn ne Awurade Yesu Kristo ɔsomfoɔ nkyɛn, Mekyea mmusuakuo dumienu a wɔahwete no nyinaa.
UJakhobe inceku kaNkulunkulu leyeNkosi uJesu Khristu, Kuzo izizwana ezilitshumi lambili ezihlakazekele phakathi kwezizwe: Ngiyalibingelela.
2 Anuanom, sɛ sɔhwɛ bi ba mo akwan mu a, momma mo ani nnye
Bazalwane bami, lapho lisehlelwa yizilingo ezitshiyeneyo, kubaleni njengentokozo epheleleyo
3 ɛfiri sɛ, sɛ mo gyidie tumi gyina sɔhwɛ no ano a, ɛno ansa na monya boasetɔ.
ngoba liyakwazi ukuthi ukuhlolwa kokholo lwenu kukhulisa ukubekezela.
4 Momma boasetɔ no ntena mo mu daa nyinaa sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a, mobɛyɛ pɛ a biribiara ho renhia mo.
Ukubekezela kufanele kuwuqede umsebenzi wakho ukuze lina likhule njalo liphelele, lingasileli ngalutho.
5 Sɛ nyansa ho hia mo mu bi a, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔbɔ mpaeɛ srɛ Onyankopɔn na ɔbɛma no bi, ɛfiri sɛ, Onyankopɔn firi ayamyɛ ne adom mu ma obiara deɛ ɛhia no no kwa.
Nxa omunye wenu eswela ukuhlakanipha kumele acele kuNkulunkulu onika bonke ngesihle engadinganga sici, ngempela uzakuphiwa.
6 Na sɛ worebɔ mpaeɛ a, ɛsɛ sɛ wogye di a wonnye ho akyinnyeɛ. Obiara a ɔgye akyinnyeɛ no te sɛ ɛpo asorɔkye a mframa bɔ no kɔ baabiara a ɛpɛ.
Kodwa lapho ecela kumele akholwe angathandabuzi ngoba othandabuzayo unjengegagasi lolwandle eliphetshulwa ngumoya uliphose.
7 Ɛnsɛ sɛ saa onipa no susu sɛ ɔbɛnya biribiara afiri Awurade nkyɛn;
Umuntu lowo akumelanga acabange ukuthi kulolutho azaluthola eNkosini;
8 nʼadwene yɛ no ntanta a ɔntumi nsi biribiara pi.
ungumuntu ongqondombili, kazinzanga kukho konke akwenzayo.
9 Sɛ Onyankopɔn ma onua hiani so a, ɛsɛ sɛ nʼani gye,
Umzalwane olesimo esiphansi kumele aziqhenye ngesikhundla sakhe esiphezulu.
10 na adefoɔ a wabrɛ wɔn ase no nso saa ara. Ɛfiri sɛ, adefoɔ no twam kɔ sɛ wiram afifideɛ bi.
Kodwa lowo onothileyo kumele aziqhenye ngesikhundla sakhe esiphansi, ngoba uzadlula njengeluba leganga.
11 Owia pue de ne hyeɛ no hye afifideɛ no ma nʼahoɔfɛ no sɛe. Saa ara na wɔbɛsɛe adefoɔ no ɛberɛ a wɔgu so redi wɔn nnwuma no.
Ngoba ilanga liphuma litshisa okuhangulayo libunise ihlumela, umqhakazo walo uwohloke lobuhle balo buphele. Ngokufanayo umuntu onothileyo uzanyamalala elokhu esawenza umsebenzi wakhe.
12 Nhyira nka onipa a ɔnya gyidie wɔ amanehunu mu, ɛfiri sɛ, ɔno na ɔbɛnya akyɛdeɛ a Onyankopɔn ahyɛ ho bɔ ama wɔn a wɔdɔ no no.
Ubusisiwe umuntu oqiniselayo ekulingweni, ngoba lapho esephumelele ekuhlolweni, uzaphiwa umqhele wokuphila, ukuphila uNkulunkulu akuthembisa labo abamthandayo.
13 Sɛ wɔsɔ obi hwɛ a, ɛnsɛ sɛ ɔka sɛ, “Saa sɔhwɛ yi firi Onyankopɔn.” Ɛfiri sɛ, bɔne rentumi nsɔ Onyankopɔn nhwɛ, na ɔno Onyankopɔn nso nsɔ obi nhwɛ.
Ekulingweni, kakho okumele athi, “UNkulunkulu uyangilinga.” Ngoba uNkulunkulu angeke alingwe yibubi, futhi kalingi muntu;
14 Na sɛ onipa twe ne ho na ɔno ara nʼakɔnnɔ yi no a, na ayɛ sɔhwɛ ama no.
kodwa lowo lalowo ulingwa yinkanuko yakhe embi, lapho edonselwa kude ehugwa.
15 Na sɛ akɔnnɔ no nyinsɛn a, ɛwo bɔne, na bɔne no nyini a ɛwo owuo.
Ngakho-ke, nxa inkanuko isidaliwe izala isono; njalo isono lapho sesikhulile okugcweleyo, sizala ukufa.
16 Me nuanom adɔfoɔ, mommma wɔnnnaadaa mo.
Lingakhohliswa bazalwane bami abathandekayo.
17 Akyɛdeɛ pa ne akyɛdeɛ a ɛyɛ pɛ nyinaa firi ɔsoro; ɛfiri Onyankopɔn a ɔbɔɔ ɔsoro hann no nkyɛn na ɛba. Ɔno na ɔnsesa sɛ sunsum.
Zonke izipho ezinhle lezipheleleyo zivela phezulu, zehlele phansi zivela kuYise wezibane zasezulwini, ongaguqukiyo njalo ongelathunzi lokuphenduka.
18 Ɔfiri ne pɛ mu nam nokorɛ a ɛwɔ asɛm no mu no so woo yɛn sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a, yɛbɛdi ɛkan wɔ abɔdeɛ nyinaa mu.
Wakhetha ukusizala ngelizwi leqiniso ukuze sibe luhlobo lwezithelo zakuqala kukho konke akudalayo.
19 Me nuanom adɔfoɔ, monhyɛ yeinom nso: monyɛ ntɛm ntie, monyɛ nyaa nkasa na monyɛ nyaa mfa abufuo;
Bazalwane bami abathandekayo, qaphelani lokhu: Umuntu wonke kumele aphange alalele, aphuze ukukhuluma, njalo aphuze lokuthukuthela
20 ɛfiri sɛ, onipa abufuo no mma ɔnnya Onyankopɔn tenenee no.
ngoba ukuthukuthela komuntu kakulethi ukuphila okulungileyo okufiswa nguNkulunkulu.
21 Ɛno enti, montwe mo ho mfiri afideɛ ne atirimuɔden ho. Momfa mo ho mma Onyankopɔn na monnye asɛm a ɔdua wɔ mo akoma mu a ɛbɛgye mo nkwa no.
Ngakho-ke, lahlani amanyala wonke lobubi obande kangaka, lilamukele ngokuthobeka ilizwi elahlanyelwa kini, elingalisindisa.
22 Monntie asɛm no sɛ atiefoɔ kwa nsisi mo ho, na mmom, monyɛ asɛm no yɛfoɔ.
Lingalaleli ilizwi nje kuphela, beselizikhohlisa ngalokho. Yenzani lokho elikutshoyo.
23 Obiara a ɔtie asɛm no na ɔmfa nni dwuma no te sɛ obi a ɔhwɛ ahwehwɛ mu, na ɔhunu sɛdeɛ ɔteɛ.
Loba ngubani olalela ilizwi kodwa angaze enza elikutshoyo unjengomuntu okhangela ubuso bakhe esibukweni
24 Ɔhwɛ ne ho wɔ ahwehwɛ no mu hunu ne ho yie na sɛ ɔfiri ahwehwɛ no anim ara pɛ a, ne werɛ firi deɛ ɔhunuiɛ no nyinaa.
kuthi esezibukile asuke ahle akhohlwe ukuthi unjani.
25 Nanso, obiara a ɔhwɛ mmara a ɛyɛ pɛ no mu yie, deɛ ɛma onipa de ne ho, na ɔdi so, na ɔtie, na ne werɛ mfiri, na ɔde di dwuma no, Onyankopɔn bɛhyira saa onipa no wɔ biribiara a ɔyɛ mu.
Kodwa umuntu owukhangela ngenjongo umthetho opheleleyo oletha ukukhululeka, njalo aqhubeke esenza lokhu engakhohlwa asekuzwile, kodwa ekwenza, uzabusiswa kulokho akwenzayo.
26 Sɛ obi susu sɛ ɔyɛ Onyamesomfoɔ na wanto ne tɛkrɛma nnareka a, ne nyamesom no ho nni mfasoɔ na ɔdaadaa ne ho nso.
Nxa umuntu ecabanga ukuthi uyakholwa kodwa engabambi ulimi lwakhe okuqinileyo, uyazikhohlisa njalo lokholo lwakhe luyize.
27 Deɛ Agya Onyankopɔn fa no sɛ ɛyɛ nyamesom pa no nie: Ɔhwɛ nwisiaa ne akunafoɔ wɔ wɔn ahohia mu, na ɔyi ne ho firi ewiase porɔeɛ ho.
Ukukholwa okwamukelwa nguNkulunkulu uBaba okuhlambulukileyo njalo kungelasici yilokhu: ukugcina izintandane labafelokazi ekuhluphekeni kwabo, kanye lokuzigcina thina ngokwethu ekungcolisweni ngumhlaba.
