James 2
1 My brothers, ye should not have the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ of glory, in favoritism.
Bhalongo bhangu musijhikesi imani jha Bwana Yesu Kristu, Bwana bhwa utukufu, kwa kupendelela bhanu fulani.
2 For if a man with a gold ring in bright clothing comes into your synagogue, and also a poor man in dirty clothing comes in,
Kama munu fulani akahingilayi mu lukomanu kati jha muenga afwalili pete sya dhahabu ni maguanda manofu, Kabhele akajhingila maskini jhaajhele ni maguanda machafu,
3 and ye have regard for the man wearing the bright clothing, and say to him, Sit thou here well, and ye say to the poor man, Stand thou there, or sit here below my footstool,
na mwalasili kun'jali nesu jhola jha ajhele ni maguanda manofu ni kujobha, “Chondi bhebhe tamayi apa jha ujhele ni maguanda manofu, “Lakini mwan'jobhili masikini jhola, “Bhebhe jhemayi pala.” au tamayi pasi pa magolo gha nene.”
4 then are ye not partial among yourselves, and become judges from evil thoughts?
Je, mwihuku mulana mwebhene, ni kujha bhaamuzi bhabhajhele ni mabhwasu mabhibhi?
5 Listen, my beloved brothers, did not God choose the poor of the world, rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom, which he promised to those who love him?
Mup'elesiajhi bhalongo bhangu bhaganwa, je, K'yara abhasalili lepi bhab'onji bha dunia, kujha matajiri mu iihiani nikurithi bhufalme bhwa abha ahidili bhabhan'ganili?
6 But ye have dishonored the poor man. Do not the rich exploit you, and they themselves drag you into courts?
Lakini mubhajimu ili bhabonji! Je bhatajiri lepi bhabhakabheta sya muenga, na bhenelepi bhabhakabharundusya mu mahakama?
7 Do they not blaspheme the good name that was called upon you?
Je, matajiri lepi bhabhakaliligha lihina lela linofu ambalyo mwikutibhwa?
8 If ye indeed fulfill the royal law according to the scripture, Thou shall love thy neighbor as thyself, ye do well.
Hata naha, kama mwitimisya jhela sheria jha kifalme kama kya jhilembibhu mu majkandiku, “Wibetakun'gana jirani gha jhobhi kama ghwe muene,” Mwiketa kinofu.
9 But if ye respect personages, ye work sin, being convicted by the law as transgressors.
Lakini kama mwipendelela baadhi jha bhanu, mwibetakubhamba dhambi mwihukumibhwa ni sheria kujha ndo bhavunja sheria.
10 For whoever keeps the whole law, and stumbles on one, he has become guilty of all.
Kwa kujha jhejhioha jhaitii sheria jhioha, ni akona akikungufuili mu nukta jhimonga tu, ajhhele ni hatia jha kuvunja sheria jhioha!
11 For he who said thou shall not commit adultery, also said thou shall not murder. Now if thou will not commit adultery, but murder, thou have become a transgressor of law.
Kwa kujha K'yara jha ajobhili, “Usikomil kama wihonganalepi, lakini wikoma umelili kubomola sheria jha K'yara.
12 So speak ye, and so do ye, as men who are to be judged by a law of liberty.
Henu mulongelayi ni kutii kama bhanfa ambabho bha mujhele karibu kuhukumulibhwa ni sheria jha uhuru.
13 For the judgment is merciless to him who did no mercy. Mercy triumphs over judgment.
Kwa kujha hukumu jhihida bila huruma kwa bhala bhabhabeli kujha ni huruma. Huruma jhikiwa tukusya kunani jha hukumu.
14 What is the benefit, my brothers, if some man should say to have faith, but has no works? Can the faith save him?
Kujhe ni unofu bholokhi bhalongo bhangu, kama munu ijobha nijhe ni imani lakini ajhelepi ni matendo? Je, imani ejhu njhihotola kumwokola?
15 And if a brother or sister may be unclothed, and may be destitute of daily food,
kama bhalongosi au bhakidala ndo jhailonda ghwa maguanda au kya kulya kya khila ligono.
16 and some man of you would say to them, Go in peace, be ye warmed and fed, but ye would not give them the things necessary for the body, what is the benefit?
Ni mmonga bhinu akabhajobhela, “Mulotayi kwa amani mukajhotayi muoto na mkaliajhi kinofu.” Lakini mukabhapelalepi mahitaji, mhimu gha mbele, ejhu jhifu ajhi kiki?
17 So also faith, if it has no works, is dead by itself.
Hali mebhu, imani jhiene kama jhibeli kujha ni matendu, jhifuili.
18 But some man will say, Thou have faith, and I have works. Show me thy faith from thy works, and I will show thee from my works my faith.
Bado munu fulani i9bhwesya kujobha, “Ujhe ni imani, ni nene nijhe ni matendo.” Nilasiajhi imani jha jhobhi bila matendo, nani nibeta kulasya imani jha nene kwa matendo gha nene.
19 Thou believe that there is one God, thou do well. The demons also believe, and shudder.
Bhaamini kujha ajhe K'yara mmonga: ujhe sahihi. Lakini mapepo na ghene ghiamini mebhu ni kud'egeda.
20 But do thou want to know, O vain man, that faith apart from works is dead?
Je wilonda kumanya, ewe munu mpumbafu namna ambavyo imani ejhu bila matendo kyajholondekalepi?
21 Was not Abraham our father made righteous from works, having offered up Isaac his son upon the altar?
Je, Dadi jhinu Abramu lepi jhaabhalangibhu haki kwa matendo paambosili mwanamunu Isaka panani pa madhabhahu?
22 Thou see that faith was working with his works, and from the works, faith was fully perfected.
Mwabhwene imani jha muene jhabhombili mbombo ni matendo gha muene, ni kwa matendo gha muene, imani jha muene jhafikili kusudio lya muene.
23 And the scripture was fulfilled, which says, And Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned to him for righteousness, and he was called a friend of God.
Majhandiku ghatimisibhu ghaghijobha, Abrahamu an'jobhili K'yara, na abhalangibhu kujha ndo mwenye haki.” Efyo Abrahamu akutibhu rafiki ghwa K'yara.
24 Ye see therefore that from works a man is made righteous, and not from faith only.
Mwilola kujha kwa matendo munu ibhelangibhwa haki, na sio kwa imani jhiene.
25 And likewise also was not Rahab the harlot made righteous from works, having received the agents, and having sent them out another way?
Hali mabhu je, ajhelepi Rahabu jhola kahaba jhaabhalangibhu haki kwa matendo, bho abhakaribisi bhajumbe ni kubhapeleka kwa Baraba jhenge?
26 For as the body without a spirit is dead, so also faith without the works is dead.
Kwa kujha kama vile mb'ele likabelajhi kujha ni roho ufuili fefuefu mebhu imani bila matendo jhifuili.
