Yakovo 1
1 Yakobo, m'bombi ghwa Nguluve nu Mutwa uYesu kilisite, nikuvahungila umwe mwefisinakijigho name fivili mwevano mupalasine.
James, a slave of God and of Sovereign Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes that are in the Dispersion: Greetings.
2 vanyalukolo vango, muhovokaghe pano mughelua no ngelo sino silipapinga
Count it all joy, my brothers, whenever you fall into various trials,
3 ulwakuva mukaguile kuuti pano mughelua pa lwiitiko lwinu kukuvapela ulugodo
knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance;
4 Ulugudo uluo muleke lunyilisie imbombo jake kuuti vakangasie lwoni, kisila. kwaghilua kimonga mulwitiko lwinu.
but let that endurance have a complete work, so that you may be perfect and complete, falling short in nothing.
5 Lino nave jumonga mulyumue ilonda uvukagusi, ansuume uNguluve Juno ikuvapela avanhu vooni muvukoola vwake kisila kuhimba kuvano vikunsuuma, kange ikuvapele uvukagusi.
But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask from the giving God, who gives to all liberally and does not reproach, and it will be given to him.
6 Neke asumaghe my lwitiko, alekaghe piiva ni nganighani, ulwakuva umunhu unyanganighani alindavule amaviingo munyanja, ghano ghitaghua ni mhepo kuno na ukuo.
However, let him ask in faith, with no doubting, because he who doubts is like a sea wave driven and tossed by the wind—
7 Umuunhu unya luvelo uluo nangahuvilaghe kukupila nambe kimonga kuhuma kwa Mutwa;
such a man should not suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord,
8 Ulwakuva akolile amasaghe ghavili ghano naghikwiting'ana, naila vwimo ku sila saake sooni
being a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.
9 witiki unkotofu ahovokage ulwakuva asindamile kwa mwene kukyanya,
Now the lowly brother should glory in his high position,
10 ghwope umhofu mulwakujisia, ulwakuva umofu ilijoghotoka ndavule ililuva ilya mumasoli mu mughunda ghuno ikila.
but the rich brother in his humiliation, because he will pass away like a flower of wild grass.
11 Ilijuva lidibula, Nike vwimila ulujuva ulukali, amamela ghikwuuma, uvuluva vusanguka, uvunono vwa livuva ilio vunangika. ndavule anala avanhu avamhofu vilitipulivua ye vijiigha vitigha ni mbombo saave.
For the sun rises with its burning heat and withers the grass, and its flower falls off and the beauty of its face perishes. Just so the rich man will be withered in his undertakings.
12 Afunyilue umhunu juno ikuguda mu ngelo, ulwakuva angasileme ingelo isiio, ilikwupila ingela ija vwumi, jino uNguluve akalaghile kukuvapeela vano vikumughana.
A man who endures testing is blessed, because upon becoming approved he will receive the crown of the life that the Lord has promised to those loving Him.
13 Umunhu ghweni naghanilue pijova pano alimungelo, “Iingelo iiji jihuma Kwa Nguluve,” ulwakuva uNguluve naighelua nu vuviivi, Kange uNguluve jujuo na ikumughela umunhu ghweni.
Let no one, upon being tempted, say, “I am being tempted by God,” because God is untemptable by evil, so He Himself does not tempt anyone.
14 Loli umunhu ghweni ighelua nuvunoghelua vwake jujuo uvuvivi vuno vukamulongwisie na kusyangua kuvomba inyivi.
But each one is tempted by his own craving, being taken in tow and enticed.
15 Liino uvughelelua uvuo vungakangale vupelela kuvomba inyivi, kwoope kuvomba inyiivi kupelela uvufue.
Then the craving, upon conceiving, gives birth to sin, and the sin, upon completion, delivers death.
16 Vanyalukolo vango vaghanike, namungasyanguaghe.
Do not be deceived, my beloved brothers:
17 Uluvonolo lwooni ulukwilanifu luhuma kukyanya, kwa Nguluve Nhata. Umwene na nsyetughani ndavule umusulua.
every good giving and every perfect gift is from Above, coming down from the Father of the lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning.
18 U Nguleve alyasaluile alyatupelile usue uvwuumi vwimila ilisiio lyake ilya lying'ani, Kuuti tuuve vake vasalulua va kwanda mufipelua fyooni finished apelile.
Having willed it, He brought us forth by a word of truth, so that we might be a sort of firstfruits of His products.
19 Vanyalukolo vango vaghanike, mulikaguile iili. umunhu ghweni apulikisiaghe tasia, alekaghe piva mwoghofi ghwa kujova nambe kukalala,
So then, my beloved brothers, let every man be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger;
20 ulwakuva umhunu angave neng'alasi nangavombe sino sinoghile Pamaso gha Nguluve. Lino mughaleke amaghe delelo ghinu amavivi
because a man's anger does not achieve God's righteousness.
21 na masaghe amavivi ghano ghamemile mu moojo ghinu, mwupilaghe vunono illusion lino uNguluve abikile mumoojo ghinu, ilisio ilio lol ni ngufu isa kuvapoka inumbula sinu.
Therefore, laying aside all filthiness and overflow of evil, receive with meekness the implanted Word which is able to save your souls.
22 Mulitikaghe ilisio, mulekaghe pipulikisia kewene, mungisyange munumbula sinu jumuie.
Further, become word doers and not just hearers, deceiving yourselves.
23 Ulwakuva umunhu ghweni juno ipulika ilisio kisila kuvomba sino lilungika ujuo along'ine nu munhu juno ikuulola mukilolelo.
Because if anyone is a law hearer and not a doer, the same is like a man observing his physical face in a mirror;
24 Niki kyande amalile pikulola, ivuuka nakaliingi ikusyamua vile asivue.
for he observes himself, then goes away and promptly forgets what he is like.
25 Looli umunhu juno isagha vunono indaghilo sa Nguluve Sino sikuvapelela avaanhu kuva vavuke, na kukusivikila mwoojo, aleke piva munhu wa kupuliika na kusyamua, ulwene avombaghe luno silungika, ujuo uNguluve ikumfuunya kusoni Sino ivomba.
But he who looks carefully into the perfect law of liberty and continues in it, he—not being a forgetful hearer but a work doer—he will be blessed in what he does.
26 Nave umuunhu isagha kuuti ikum'bingilila uNguluve, neke naikuloleleela munjovele jaake, umunhu ujuo ikusyanga mwene kuviingilila ukuo kusila luvumbulilo.
If anyone among you thinks he is religious, not bridling his tongue but deceiving his heart, his religion is useless.
27 Kukum'bingilila uNguluve u Nhata kunokunoghile, kwe kuvomba isi: kukuvatlanga avapina na vafwile mu vukaming'hanilua vwave name kukolelela juice vwimila imbombo inyali isa mu iisi iji.
Pure and undefiled religion before God and Father is this: to care for orphans and widows in their adversity; to keep oneself unspotted from the world.
