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 the Lord Jesus Christ, sends greeting to the twelve tribes that are scattered abroad.
2 vanyalukolo vango, muhovokaghe pano mughelua no ngelo sino silipapinga
My brothers, when you are beset by various temptations, count it all joy,
3 ulwakuva mukaguile kuuti pano mughelua pa lwiitiko lwinu kukuvapela ulugodo
because you know that the testing of your faith is working out endurance.
4 Ulugudo uluo muleke lunyilisie imbombo jake kuuti vakangasie lwoni, kisila. kwaghilua kimonga mulwitiko lwinu.
But let endurance have its perfect work, so that you may be perfect and entire, not lacking in anything.
5 Lino nave jumonga mulyumue ilonda uvukagusi, ansuume uNguluve Juno ikuvapela avanhu vooni muvukoola vwake kisila kuhimba kuvano vikunsuuma, kange ikuvapele uvukagusi.
If any one of you is lacking in wisdom, let him ask it from the God who gives to all men freely and without upbraiding; 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.
But let him ask in faith, without wavering; for he who wavers is like a surge of the sea, wind-driven and tossed.
7 Umuunhu unya luvelo uluo nangahuvilaghe kukupila nambe kimonga kuhuma kwa Mutwa;
Such a man need not suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord,
8 Ulwakuva akolile amasaghe ghavili ghano naghikwiting'ana, naila vwimo ku sila saake sooni
double-minded as he is, unstable at every turn.
9 witiki unkotofu ahovokage ulwakuva asindamile kwa mwene kukyanya,
Let a brother in humble circumstances glory in his exaltation;
10 ghwope umhofu mulwakujisia, ulwakuva umofu ilijoghotoka ndavule ililuva ilya mumasoli mu mughunda ghuno ikila.
but a rich brother, in his humiliation; because like the flower of the grass the rich man will pass away.
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 as the sun comes up with a burning heat, it withers the grass, and its flowers fall, and the grace of the fashion of it perishes; so also shall the rich man fade away amid his pursuits.
12 Afunyilue umhunu juno ikuguda mu ngelo, ulwakuva angasileme ingelo isiio, ilikwupila ingela ija vwumi, jino uNguluve akalaghile kukuvapeela vano vikumughana.
Blessed is the man who endures temptation; for when he has stood the test he will receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love 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.
When he is being tempted, let no one say, "It is God who tempts me," for God cannot be tempted with evil, nor does he tempt any man.
14 Loli umunhu ghweni ighelua nuvunoghelua vwake jujuo uvuvivi vuno vukamulongwisie na kusyangua kuvomba inyivi.
But each man is tempted by his own lusts that allure and entice him.
15 Liino uvughelelua uvuo vungakangale vupelela kuvomba inyivi, kwoope kuvomba inyiivi kupelela uvufue.
Then lust conceives and gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is mature, brings forth death.
16 Vanyalukolo vango vaghanike, namungasyanguaghe.
Do not be deceived, my brothers!
17 Uluvonolo lwooni ulukwilanifu luhuma kukyanya, kwa Nguluve Nhata. Umwene na nsyetughani ndavule umusulua.
Every good gift and every perfect boon is from above, and is ever coming down to us from the Father of the heavenly lights, with whom is no variation nor shadow of eclipse.
18 U Nguleve alyasaluile alyatupelile usue uvwuumi vwimila ilisiio lyake ilya lying'ani, Kuuti tuuve vake vasalulua va kwanda mufipelua fyooni finished apelile.
Because he willed, he gave us birth through the word of truth, so that we should be a kind of first-fruits among his creatures.
19 Vanyalukolo vango vaghanike, mulikaguile iili. umunhu ghweni apulikisiaghe tasia, alekaghe piva mwoghofi ghwa kujova nambe kukalala,
Mark this well, my dear brothers. Let every man be swift in hearing, slow in speaking, slow in growing angry;
20 ulwakuva umhunu angave neng'alasi nangavombe sino sinoghile Pamaso gha Nguluve. Lino mughaleke amaghe delelo ghinu amavivi
for a man’s anger does not further the righteous purpose of God.
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.
So strip off all filthiness and superfluity of wickedness, and in meekness receive the implanted Word, which is able to save your souls.
22 Mulitikaghe ilisio, mulekaghe pipulikisia kewene, mungisyange munumbula sinu jumuie.
And become doers of the Word, and not merely hearers, deceiving yourselves.
23 Ulwakuva umunhu ghweni juno ipulika ilisio kisila kuvomba sino lilungika ujuo along'ine nu munhu juno ikuulola mukilolelo.
Because if any one is a hearer of the Word and not a doer, he is like a man who looks at his natural face in a mirror;
24 Niki kyande amalile pikulola, ivuuka nakaliingi ikusyamua vile asivue.
for after he has looked carefully at himself, he goes away, and at once 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 the man who looks closely into the perfect law - the law of liberty - and continues looking, this man will be blessed in his deed because he is not a hearer who forgets, but a doer who does.
26 Nave umuunhu isagha kuuti ikum'bingilila uNguluve, neke naikuloleleela munjovele jaake, umunhu ujuo ikusyanga mwene kuviingilila ukuo kusila luvumbulilo.
If a man thinks himself to be religious, and yet does not bridle his tongue, but deceives his own religion,
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.
and undefiled before our God and Father, to look after orphans and widows in their affliction, and ever to keep himself unspotted from the world.
