James 1
1 James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are in the Dispersion: Greetings.
U Yakobo ukungwa va Nguluve nu gwa Ntwa Yesu Klisite, ku makabila ekinchigo na kuvili avayaganighe nikuponja.
2 Count it all joy, my brothers, when you fall into various temptations,
Mvalage uluhekelo fincho, valukolo lwangu, wumgenda mbukuvilwa wingi,
3 knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance.
Mgalumanye uhugeliwa kulwedeko lwenyo khukhupata ukwiyumilincha.
4 Let endurance have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.
Muleghe ukwiyumilincha, mmale imbombo ya mwene, ukhuta mudulughe vunono, pasita khupungukiwa khulilyoni.
5 But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him.
Igava umunu pagati paliyumu ilonda ulugano, adovage ukhuma kwa Nguluve, uvihumya khukisa ulwa uhuva ihumya ghinchila khuhovela kuvidova, euhuvapa ulugano.
6 But let him ask in faith, without any doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, driven by the wind and tossed.
Mdovaghe kulwidiko, pasita uvudwanchi, ulwa kuva uvudwanchi vuhwanine nde mepo eyelimunyanja, yitoliwa ne mepu nu khutagiwa khona nukhwo.
7 For that man shouldn’t think that he will receive anything from the Lord.
Ulwakhuva umunu uyo alekhe ukusaga ukhuta akwambililiwa inogwa ncha mwene nu Nguluve;
8 He is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.
Umunu uyo alinamasage gavili, inchila lwidiko mnchila ncha mwene nchoni.
9 Let the brother in humble circumstances glory in his high position;
Ulukolo uganchu inogiwa ukhiwnye ukhwima khukyanya,
10 and the rich, in that he is made humble, because like the flower in the grass, he will pass away.
usikhi gugugwa utayari mumbudwanchi wa mwene, ulwakhuva iyaga ndili vuva elyakukihulu mkhiyalo ekheegenda.
11 For the sun arises with the scorching wind and withers the grass; and the flower in it falls, and the beauty of its appearance perishes. So the rich man will also fade away in his pursuits.
Elinchuva likhuma amafughe ghinyanya emibeki, amavuva khikwuma khiyancha uvunonu waghene, wifwa. vule vule avanu avatajiri viva vaghanchu kumbombo nchavene.
12 Blessed is a person who endures temptation, for when he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord promised to those who love him.
Isayiwa umunu uvikwumilila mugelo, ulwakhuva aghalesye engelo incho, inkwambilila etaji ya wumi, yevikhiwe kuvala avagholofu wa Nguluve.
13 Let no man say when he is tempted, “I am tempted by God,” for God can’t be tempted by evil, and he himself tempts no one.
Umunu uviavencha siwesya ukhunchova upwu egeliwa, “Egelo encho nchihuma khwa Nguluve,” ulwakuva uNguluve sigeliwa ni mbivi, nu Nguluve yuywa sikhugela umunu.
14 But each one is tempted when he is drawn away by his own lust and enticed.
Khila munu egeliwa nu vunogwe wa mwene uvuvivi inchikusonga ukhukwega khuvutali.
15 Then the lust, when it has conceived, bears sin. The sin, when it is full grown, produces death.
Ulwakhuva uvunogwe wa mbivi wigega unchigo, uvutulanongwa vuholiwa, imbimbi yegadulughe vunonu sisilila khuvufwe.
16 Don’t be deceived, my beloved brothers.
Vagane valukolo lwango msite ukhusyovegha.
17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom can be no variation nor turning shadow.
Unkwohela khunonu, nukhwohela khwihuma khukyanya, khukwigha pasi, ukhuma khwa Dada va lumuri. Lusiku sikhwanduka ndu mwinchinchi umwukhukwadukhila.
18 Of his own will he gave birth to us by the word of truth, that we should be a kind of first fruits of his creatures.
UNguluve atukhali ufwe ukhutupa uwumi wa limyu lya lweli, tuve ukhuhwanana ndavaholiwa avakhanda avavikhwani fya mwene.
19 So, then, my beloved brothers, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, and slow to anger;
Mlemanyile eli, vagane valukololwagwa, kila munu yinogiwa avinchaghe epepe va khupulika, asitaghe ukhuva epepe vakhunchova nukhukalala,
20 for the anger of man doesn’t produce the righteousness of God.
Ulwa kuva iliyoyo lya munu salilivomba uluhungu lwa Nguluve.
21 Therefore, putting away all filthiness and overflowing of wickedness, receive with humility the implanted word, which is able to save your souls.
Lino muvinchage kuvuvtali uvulami wa mbivi ni nogwa nchoni, nulwinyisyo mwupelilaghe ilimenyu elivyaliwe ngati yeno, iliwisya ukupoka inumbula nchiyo.
22 But be doers of the word, and not only hearers, deluding your own selves.
Litiini neno, msilisikie tu, mkijidanganya nafsi zenu wenyewe.
23 For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man looking at his natural face in a mirror;
Uviavenchaga uviepulika elimenyu sikulivombela imbombo avile nde munu uviekilola kumiho nkyovo.
24 for he sees himself, and goes away, and immediately forgets what kind of man he was.
Ukwilola kumincho, usenki usupi isamwa ikihwani kya mwene umwavelile.
25 But he who looks into the perfect law of freedom and continues, not being a hearer who forgets but a doer of the work, this man will be blessed in what he does.
Umunu uvielola vunonu endangilo nchoni, endagilo eya vudekedeke mbologolo ukwidika endagilo ulwakhuva umwene epulihencha sisamwa, umunu uyu esayiwa wivomba.
26 If anyone among you thinks himself to be religious while he doesn’t bridle his tongue, but deceives his heart, this man’s religion is worthless.
Engave umunu uviavinchaga esaga yuywa ukhuta munu va lwidiko, elemwa ukwulemilila ululimi lwa mwene ekuyesyova enumbula ya mwene na Lwediko lwa mwene.
27 Pure religion and undefiled before our God and Father is this: to visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained by the world.
Ulwidiko ulunonu salunaghike mbologolo mwa Nguluve vitu, ukuvatanga avapina, na vafwele mbugatale wa vene, ukwilolela vavo uvuliasi wa nkilunga.
