James 1
1 James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are in the Dispersion: Greetings.
Nne Yakobho nili ntumwa jwa a Nnungu na jwa Bhakulungwa a Yeshu Kilishitu ngunakunnjandishilanga mmandunji bha makabhila likumi limo na gabhili mpwilinganishilenje nshilambolyo, shalamu jenunji.
2 Count it all joy, my brothers, when you fall into various temptations,
Mmaakulupalilanga ajangunji nng'angalalanjepe punkulingwanga kwa mboteko ya kila namuna,
3 knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance.
pabha mmumanyinji kuti kulingwa kwa ngulupai jenunji kunapeleshela kwiipililila.
4 Let endurance have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.
Kwiipililila kwenunji kumpanganje kushimilika na kutimilila nngulupai gwangali tubhilwa shindu shoshowe.
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.
Ikabheje mundu munkumbi gwenunji atubhilwaga na ng'aniyo ya lunda, abhajuje a Nnungu bhakwaapanganga bhandu bhowe kwa ntima gwa ntuka wala bhakaatumbala, najwalakwe shaapegwe.
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.
Ikabheje ajuje alikulupalila gwangali lipamba lya jangulwa, pabha akwete lipamba anabha mbuti libhimbili lya mashi ga bhaali linokolwa na mbungo akuno na kukuno.
7 For that man should not think that he will receive anything from the Lord.
Pabha mundu jwa nneyo anakulupalile kuti shaapate shindu koposhela kwa Bhakulungwa.
8 He is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.
Mundu jwa ng'aniyo ibhili akakamula shindu shimo muitendi yakwe yowe.
9 Let the brother in humble circumstances glory in his high position;
Bhaakulupalilanga bhaalaga, bhaangalalanje pabha a Nnungu bhanakwaishimunji bhowe.
10 and the rich, in that he is made humble, because like the flower in the grass, he will pass away.
Na matajili bhaangalalanje pubhatuluywanga na a Nnungu, pabha nabhalabhonji shibhaobhanje malinga lilubha lya mukonde shilijumula niobha.
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.
Pabha lyubha libhalaga, linajumuya maamba na malubha gakwe ganawa na konja kwakwe kowe kunapela. Nneyo peyo na nkali mundu ashulushilwe indu shaapele nniengo lyakwe pemo.
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.
Mbaya mundu akwiiluma ntima alilingwa, pabha akombolaga shaapegwe upo ya gumi shibhalajile Bhakulungwa ku bhandu bhakwaapinganga.
13 Let no man say when he is tempted, “I am tempted by God,” for God cannot be tempted by evil, and he himself tempts no one.
Monaga mundu alingwaga, analugule kuti, “A Nnungu bhananinga.” Pabha a Nnungu bhakaalingwa na ilebho, na bhenebho bhakakunninga mundu.
14 But each one is tempted when he is drawn away by his own lust and enticed.
Ikabheje kila mundu analingwa, kwa nonyelwa na tembwa na ilokoli yakwe nnyene.
15 Then the lust, when it has conceived, bears sin. The sin, when it is full grown, produces death.
Kwa nneyo shilokoli shipundaga shinabheleka shambi na shambi shikomalaga shinabheleka shiwo.
16 Do not be deceived, my beloved brothers.
Bhaakulupalilanga ajangunji nkupingwanga, nnatembwanje!
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.
Kila shammbone shinkupegwa, na shoshowe shitimilile, kushikoposhela kunnungu, kwa Atati bhapeleshe shilangaya. Bhenebho bhakatendebhuka, numbe bhangali nkubho gwa tendebhukatendebhuka.
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.
Kwa pinga kwabho bhayeneuwe, nigubhatubhishile nndamo ja ambi kwa lilobhe lyabho lya kweli, nkupinga tubhe nnimbu gwa indu yabho ipengenywe.
19 So, then, my beloved brothers, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, and slow to anger;
Bhaakulupalilanga ajangunji bhungumpinganga, nngamanyanje gegano. Bhai mundu abhe jwa minda kupilikanishiya na nngabha jwa minda kubheleketa na anabhe jwa tumbala shangu.
20 for the anger of man does not produce the righteousness of God.
Pabha mundu akwete nnjimwa, nngakombola kwaanonyeya a Nnungu.
21 Therefore, putting away all filthiness and overflowing of wickedness, receive with humility the implanted word, which is able to save your souls.
Kwa nneyo mwiilekanje kwa taliya indu yowe ya nyata na itendi yangali ya mmbone, mposhelanje lilobhe libhishilwe mmitima jenunji, likombola kuntapulanga mitima jenunji.
22 But be doers of the word, and not only hearers, deluding your own selves.
Ikabheje ntendelanje liengo malobhe ga Nnungu na nngabha kupilikanilape, akuno nnikwiitembanga mmitima jenunji.
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;
Pabha mundu apilikana lilobhe gwangali tendela liengo, jwenejo pabha mbuti mundu akwiilola ku meyo kwake nshiyoo.
24 for he sees himself, and goes away, and immediately forgets what kind of man he was.
Pabha ailolaga nijabhula, shangupe analibhala shikuli kumeyo kwakwe.
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.
Ikabheje mundu akujilola ukoto shalia jikamilishe, jikwaapanganga bhandunji ungwana nikujikagulila gwangali kulibhala shapilikene na tenda malinga shiikupinjikwa, bhai jwenejo itendi yakwe shiipate mboka ya a Nnungu.
26 If anyone among you thinks himself to be religious while he does not bridle his tongue, but deceives his heart, this man’s religion is worthless.
Ibhaga mundu aiganishiyaga kuti anakagulila dini, ikabheje akakombola kuluibhilila lulimi lwakwe ukoto, jwene mundujo dini jakwe jikapwaa.
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.
Mundu akwete dini ja mmbone jibhoneka jangali ya nyata kwa a Tati a Nnungu ni ajuno, akwaajangutilanga bhanabhalekwa na bhashitenga nshilaje shabhonji na akwiiepuya na ya nyata ya pa shilambolyo pano.
