James 2
1 My friends, as trusting believers in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ, you must not show favoritism.
Valokolo lwango mlekhe ukukonga ulwidiko lwa nkuludeva uYesu Klisite unkudeva va vuvalanche pakuvavonela avange avanu.
2 Imagine that a man comes into your synagogue wearing gold rings and fine clothes, and then a poor man comes in dressed in rags.
Ingave umunu uyunge angingele kwu lulundamano lwinyo afwalila, ipete icha sahabu ni myenda iminonu, khange angingele ugachu unya myenda imivivi,
3 If you pay special attention to the well-dressed man, and say, “Please sit here in a seat of honor,” while you say to the poor man, “Stand over there, or sit on the floor by my feet,”
mkatengula ukumwimika ficho ula unya myenda iminonu nukuta, “Siwo uveve tama apa pavunonu” khange mkambula uganchu ula uveve ima pala au tama pasi pamalunde gango.”
4 haven't you discriminated and judged with bad motives?
Samhigana yumwe mwevene, nukuva vahegi mwe mvile na masage amavivi?
5 Listen, my dear friends: Didn't God choose those who the world considers poor to be rich in their trust in him, and to inherit the kingdom he promised to those who love him?
Mpulihichage valukolo lwango vagane, uNguluve savahalile avagachu va kilunga ukuva vatajili va lwidiko nu kuhala uvutwa uwa vavolile anganile?
6 But you've treated the poor shamefully. Isn't it the rich who oppress you and drag you before the courts?
Umwe mwibeda avaganchu savayili vavo vikuvatesya umwe, kange vuvavo avikuva kwegania kuvuhigi?
7 Don't they insult the honorable name of the one who called you and to whom you belong?
Sa vuvatayili uvo vikuliduka ilitawa lila ilinonu ilyo ili mkwelangiwa?
8 If you really observe the royal law of Scripture: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself,” then you do well.
Hata lino ingave mkonga ululagilo lwa kivaha nduvu livigilwe mumbusimbe, “Vugana uvimlipaninye nduve vemwene,” mwigaha vunonu.
9 But if you show favoritism, you're sinning. The law convicts you as guilty of breaking it.
Umwe ingave mukuva vonela avanu avange, mwitula inongwa, mhigiwa nululagilo ukuva mlivadenya lulagilo.
10 Someone who observes everything in the law but fails in just one part is guilty of breaking it all.
Ulwakuva yoyoni uvidwada ululagilo lwoni, kange ikhe bomieha nukhuta yimo avile nukudenya ululagilo lwoni.
11 God told you not to commit adultery, and he also told you not to kill. So if you don't commit adultery, but you do kill, you've become a law-breaker.
Ulwakhuva uNguluve atile vulekhe, “Uvuligu,” vi yuywa khange uvyatile ulabudaga 'ulabuda' ingave savuligupa uve wibuda, uve udenyile ululagilo lwa Nguluve.
12 You should speak and act as people who will be judged by the law of freedom.
Pwu mchovage nu kudwada ndavalo uvumlipaninie ukuhigi wa wavukhe.
13 Anyone who doesn't show mercy will be judged without mercy. Yet mercy wins out over judgment!
Ulwakuva uvuhigi wukwincha khista kisa kuvala avanchila kisa. Ikisa khikheginia pakyanya pa vuhigi.
14 My friends, what's the good of someone saying they trust in God when they don't do what's good and right? Can such “trust” save them?
Kulivononu vukhi valokololwango ingave umunu nu ita, alinulwidiko humbe inchile mbombo? Ulwidiko yalukumpoka?
15 If a brother or sister doesn't have clothes, or food for the day,
Ingave ulukulolwango udemi ung'inja ilonde imienda apange ikhakhulya kya khila linchova
16 and you say to them, “Blessings on you! Stay warm and have a good meal!” and you don't provide what they need to survive, what's the good of that?
uyunge akavavula lutaga nulunu nchehencho mkwotage umwoto, nukhulya vunonu,” umwe samu khupa ifinu ifya mbili mugahile ndakhikhi?
17 By itself even your trust-based faith in God is dead and worthless if you don't actually do what's good and right.
Khange ulwidiko lwene khisita mbombo, yifwile.
18 Someone may argue, “You have your trust in God; I have my good deeds.” Well, show me your trust in God without good deeds, and I will show you my trust in God by my good deeds!
Khange kwale umunu uyunge iwesya ukhunchova, “Ulinu lwidiko nayune nilinacho imbombo.” Imbonesye ulwidiko lwako nayune nivanesya ulwidiko lwango mu mbombo.
19 You believe that God is one God? That's great—but demons believe in God too, and they're scared of him!
Vukhwidika ukhuta kwulinu Nguluve yumo; lweli. pwu lino naga masetano nagope kwikhwedika nu khuhilila.
20 You foolish people! Don't you know that trust in God without doing what's right is worthless?
Lino winogwa ukhulumanya uve vi munu vimpelwa, umluvelile ulwidiko khisita mbombo iyusayinogile?
21 Wasn't our father Abraham made right by what he did—by offering his son Isaac on the altar?
Lino udada yitu uAbrahamu avaliliwe uwayilweli mmbombo upwu atolile umwana va mwene u Isaka pa nekhelo?
22 You notice that his trust in God worked together with what he did, and through what he did his trust in God was made complete.
Mvilola ukuva ulwidiko lwa mwene lulikuvomba paninie ni mbombo nche mwene nchafikile uvunogwe vwa mwene.
23 In this way scripture was fulfilled: “Abraham trusted God, and this was considered as him doing right,” and he was called the friend of God.
Uvusimbe vwafikele agita “UAbrahamu ali amwidike uNguluve, alikuvaliliwa ukhuva va yilweli.” akhilongiwa mmanyani va Nguluve.
24 You see that people are made right by what they do, and not just by trusting God.
Mwilola ukuva ku mbombo umunu ivaleliwa uvwa yelweli, nufwe kulwidiko vuvule.
25 In the same way, wasn't Rahab the prostitute made right by what she did when she looked after the messengers and then sent them away by a different road?
Khange sale vi Rahabu ummalaya ule ava leliwe uwa yilweli ku mbombo upwu avinginche avanu nu kuvahilikha ku nsewe ugunge?
26 Just as the body is dead without the spirit, trust in God is dead if you don't do what's right.
Ulwakuva ingave umbili gungave khista mwuyo gufwile vuyilivwo ulwidiko khisita mbombo lufwile.
