Yakovo 2
1 Vanyalukolo Vango ulwakuva mkumwitika uMutwa ghwitu Yesu kilisite, unyavuvaha vwooni, muvaghanaghe avanhu coming namungasalulaghe.
My brothers, practice your faith in our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory, without showing partiality.
2 Tuiti ndavule mulukong'ano lwinu ingile umunhu umhofu afwalile ni pete sa sahabu, Kange ingile umunhu unkotofu afwalile amenda ghano ghasakile,
Suppose a man in fine clothing comes into your assembly wearing a gold ring, and a poor man in filthy clothing also comes in.
3 pe muntengelele vunofu juno afwalilile muti, “Uve ghukale apa pavunofu”neke mumbule unkotofu jula multi, “uve iima apa,” nambe ghukale pasipasi apa pamaghulu ghango.
If you pay attention to the man who is wearing fine clothing and say to him, “Yoʋ sit here in a good place,” but you say to the poor man, “Yoʋ stand there, or sit here under my footstool,”
4 Asi, uluo naluvonia kuuti munsalula avanhu, navu vulamusi vwuinu vulongosivua na masaghe ghiinu mavivi?
have you not made distinctions among yourselves and become judges with evil thoughts?
5 Vanyalukolo vango vaghanike, mumlikisie, avasaluile avakotofu ava muiisi, vave vamofu milwitiko na kuva vahasi vava vutwa vuno alyavalaghile vaano vamughanile?
Listen, my beloved brothers, has not God chosen the poor of the world to be rich in faith and heirs of the kingdom that he has promised to those who love him?
6 Nike umuue mukuvalenapula avakotofu! Asi, avamofu navevano vikuvapumusia umue name pikuvatwala pavuhighi?
But you have dishonored the poor man. Is it not the rich who oppress you? Are they not the ones who drag you into court?
7 Asi, avamofu navevano vikulijova fiivi ilitavua ilinofu ilyajuno umue mukemelelua?
Do they not blaspheme the good name by which you are called?
8 Kuuluo, nave muvingilila ululaghilo lwa ntwa ndavule lilembilue mumalembe amimikekuuti, “Muvomba vunono.
If you really fulfill the royal law according to the Scripture, “Yoʋ shall love yoʋr neighbor as yoʋrself,” you do well.
9 Looli nave msalula avanhu vamo avakuvaghana muvomba inyivi, muhighue ulwakuva mulivahosi.
But if you show partiality, you commit sin and are convicted by the law as transgressors.
10 Nave umunhu ivingilila sooni, niike idenya ululaghilo lumo lwene, ujuo iiva adenyile indaaghilo sooni.
For whoever keeps the entire law but stumbles in one point has become guilty of it all.
11 Uwakuva uNguluve juno aviikile uulaghilo luno lwiti, “Ulakukilagha,” kange wejuno alyajovile, “Nungabudaghe.” nave nuvwafuke, Nave ghubuda, ghuuvaghuuva udenyile indaghilo.
For he who said, “Yoʋ shall not commit adultery,” also said, “Yoʋ shall not murder.” Now if yoʋ do not commit adultery but do commit murder, yoʋ have become a transgressor of the law.
12 Liino mujovaghe na kuvingililandavule vavo valipipi pihighua nu luhighilo luno lukutupeela kuva vaavuke.
Speak and act as those who will be judged by the law of liberty.
13 Ulwakuva uvuhighi vukwisa kisila lusungu kuvano navaale nulusungu. urusungu luhumila pavuhighi.
For judgment is without mercy to anyone who has not shown mercy; mercy triumphs over judgment.
14 Kuli vunono Viki, Vanyalukolo vango, nave umuunhu iiti ali nulwitwiko neke naihufia mu maghendele ghaake, ulwitiko lwake luli luvumbulilo luki?
What is the benefit, my brothers, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can that faith save him?
15 Asi ulwitiko ndavule uluo ndeponu lukumpoka? Ndavule unyalukolo wakighosi nave wakidala mughaji ghwa menda nambe kyakulia kya jatu,
If a brother or sister is poorly clothed and lacks daily food,
16 pe jumonga mulyumue akavavuule atii, “Lutagha nulutengano, mwotaghe umwoto na kulia vunofu,”niiki namukukuvatanga fino baghilue mu m'bili, uluo luvumbulila kiki?
and one of you says to them, “Go in peace, be warmed and filled,” without giving them anything to address their physical needs, what is the benefit?
17 Fye lulivuo, ulwitiko lwene, nave naruhufia amaghende amanofu, lufwile.
In the same way faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead.
18 Lino umuunhu jumonga ndepoonu iiti, “Ulinulwitiko, najune nilinili namaghendele amanofu.” Unihufie ulwitiko lwako ulusila maghendele, najune nikukuhufia ulwitiko lwango ulunyamaghendele ghango amanofu.
But someone will say, “Yoʋ have faith, and I have works.” Show me yoʋr faith by yoʋr works, and I, by my works, will show yoʋ my faith.
19 Vitike kuuti kwale uNguluve jumbo; uli nuvulweli. Nike amapepo ghikwitika vule vule kuno ghitetema nuludwesi.
Yoʋ believe that God is one; yoʋ do well. Even the demons believe—and shudder!
20 Asi ghulonda pikagula, uve ghwe munhu ulinjasu, ndavule ulwitiko uluo kisila maghendelelo ghano ghaghanilue?
Do yoʋ want to be shown, O foolish man, that faith without works is dead?
21 Asi nawe nkuulu ghwitu u Abrahamu alyambalile ihaki kumaghendele ghano alyantavuile unswambe u Isaka pakitekelelo?
Was not our father Abraham justified by works when he offered his son Isaac on the altar?
22 Lino mulolile ulwitiko ulwaa Abraham vule luvombike mumaghendele ghaake, muuluo ulwitiko lwake lukakwilana vwimila amaghendele ghake.
Do yoʋ see how faith was active along with his works, and by works his faith was brought to completion?
23 Uluo uluo lukakwilanisia amalembe amimike Ghana ghiiti, “U Abraham alyamwimike u Nguluve, ulwitiko lweluno lukampelela uNguluve am'balile kuuti mugholofu pa Mason ghake, muuluo uNguluve akantambula uAbrahamu kuuti mumanyaani ghwaake.
And the Scripture was fulfilled that says, “Abraham believed God, and it was counted to him as righteousness,” and he was called a friend of God.
24 Lino mulolaghe mulolaghe kuuti umunhu ivalilua kuuva mugholofu vwimila amaghendele ghaake amanofu, nakwekuti vwimila ulwitiko lwene.
You see then that a person is justified by works, and not by faith alone.
25 Fyelulyale naju Lahabu umughenda mwalu, alyavalilue kuuva mugholofu vwimila amaghendele ghaake amanofu, pano alyavuupiile avanhu vano valyasung'ilue, akavasoona vakile isila ijinge?
In the same way, was not Rahab the prostitute also justified by works when she received the messengers and sent them out by another way?
26 Lino ulwitiko kisila maghendele amanofu, lufwileluuva ndavule umfimba unsila vwuumi.
For just as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is also dead.
