James 1
1 James of God and of [the] Lord Jesus Christ a servant To the twelve tribes in the Dispersion Greeting.
Jakobho, muranda waMwari newaIshe Jesu Kristu, kumarudzi gumi nemaviri ari mukupararira: Kwaziwai.
2 All joy do esteem [it], brothers of mine, when trials you may fall into various,
Zvitorei semufaro wese, hama dzangu, kana muchiwira mumiedzo yakasiyana-siyana,
3 knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance;
muchiziva kuti kuedzwa kwerutendo rwenyu kunobudisa kutsungirira;
4 And endurance work [its] perfect should have, so that you may be perfect and complete in nothing lacking.
asi kutsungirira ngakuve nebasa rakapedzeredzwa, kuti muve vakapedzeredzwa nekukwana, musingatairi pachinhu.
5 If now any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask from the [One] giving God to all generously and (not *NK+o) finding fault, and it will be given to him.
Uye kana umwe wenyu achishaiwa uchenjeri, ngaakumbire kuna Mwari, anopavhurira vese, uye asingatuki, zvino achadzipiwa.
6 he should ask however in faith nothing doubting; The [one] for doubting he has been likened to a wave of [the] sea being blown by the wind and being tossed by the wind.
Asi ngaakumbire murutendo, asiri asina chokwadi nechinhu; nokuti asina chokwadi wakaita sefungu regungwa rinosundwa nemhepo richidzungaidzwa.
7 Not for should suppose the man that that he will receive anything from the Lord;
Nokuti munhu uyu ngaarege kufunga kuti achagamuchira chinhu kuna Ishe.
8 [He is] a man double-minded unstable in all the ways of him.
Murume ane moyo miviri anoshanduka-shanduka panzira dzake dzese.
9 should boast however the brother of low degree in the exaltation of him,
Asi hama yakaderera ngaizvikudze pakukudzwa kwake;
10 he who [is] then rich in the humiliation of him because like a flower of grass he will pass away.
nemufumi pakuderedzwa kwake; nokuti seruva reuswa achapfuura.
11 Has risen for the sun with [its] burning heat and withered the grass and the flower of it has fallen and the beauty of the appearance of it has perished; Thus also the rich [man] in the midst of the pursuits of him will fade away.
Nokuti zuva rinobuda pamwe nekupisa, ndokuomesa uswa, neruva rahwo rinowira pasi, nekunaka kwechimiro chahwo kwakaparara; saizvozvowo mufumi achabvuruvara panzira dzake.
12 Blessed [is the] man who endures trial, because approved having been he will receive the crown of life that He has promised (the Lord *K) to those loving Him.
Wakaropafadzwa munhu anotsungirira pamuedzo; nokuti kana atendwa, achagamuchira korona yeupenyu, Ishe yaakavimbisa kune vanomuda.
13 No one being tempted should say that By God I am being tempted; For God unable to be tempted is by evils, tempts now He Himself no [one];
Kusava nemunhu anoti achiidzwa ati: Ndinoidzwa naMwari; nokuti Mwari haagoni kuedzwa nechakaipa, naiye amene haaidzi munhu.
14 A man however is tempted by the own desire being drawn away and being enticed;
Asi umwe neumwe anoidzwa, kana achikwehwa nekuchiva kwake pachake, nekukwezwa.
15 Then desire having conceived it gives birth to sin, and sin having become fully grown it brings forth death.
Ipapo kuchiva kana kwarema kunozvara chivi; nechivi kana chaperedzerwa, chinobereka rufu.
16 Not do be misled, brothers of mine beloved;
Musanyengerwa, hama dzangu dzinodikanwa.
17 Every act of giving good and every gift perfect from above is coming down from the Father of lights with whom not there is variation or of shifting shadow.
Chipo chese chakanaka nechipiwa chese chakaperedzerwa chinobva kumusoro, chichiburuka kubva kuna Baba vezviedza, navo pasina kupinduka, kana mumvuri wekushanduka.
18 Having willed [it] He brought forth us by [the] word of truth, for to be us firstfruits a certain of His creatures.
Nekuda kwake wakabereka isu neshoko rechokwadi, kuti isu tive sechibereko chekutanga chezvisikwa zvake.
19 (You should know *N+KO) brothers of mine beloved; should be (however *no) every man swift unto to hear, slow unto to speak, slow unto anger.
Naizvozvo, hama dzangu dzinodiwa, munhu umwe neumwe ngaave anokurumidza pakunzwa, anononoka pakutaura, anononoka pakutsamwa;
20 [the] anger for of man [the] righteousness of God not (works. *N+kO)
nokuti kutsamwa kwemunhu hakuiti kururama kwaMwari.
21 Therefore having put aside all filthiness and excess of wickedness in humility do receive the implanted word which is being able to save the souls of you.
Naizvozvo bvisai zvinyangadzo zvese nekuwandisa kwekuipa, mugamuchire nemoyo munyoro shoko rakabatanidzwa pamuri, rinogona kuponesa mweya yenyu.
22 do be however doers of [the] word and not only hearers deceiving yourselves.
Asi ivai vaiti veshoko, uye kwete vanzwi chete, muchizvinyengera pachenyu.
23 because if anyone a hearer of [the] word is and not a doer, this one has been likened to a man looking at the face the natural of him in a mirror;
Nokuti kana umwe ari munzwi weshoko uye asiri muiti, iye wakafanana nemunhu anoona chiso chake chechisikirwo muchionioni;
24 he has viewed for himself and has gone away and immediately he has forgotten what like he was.
nokuti anozviona pachake, ndokuenda, ndokukanganwa pakarepo kuti wanga akadini.
25 The [one] however having looked intently into [the] law perfect that of freedom and having continued in [it], (this *k) not a hearer forgetful having been but a doer of [the] work — this one blessed in the work to be done by him will be.
Asi uyo anotarisisa mumurairo wakaperedzerwa werusununguko ndokurambirirapo, uyo asati ari munzwi anokanganwa asi muiti webasa, uyu acharopafadzwa pakuita kwake.
26 If anyone seems religious to be (among you *K) not bridling [the] tongue (of him *NK+o) but deceiving [the] heart (of him, *NK+o) of this one worthless [is] the religion.
Kana umwe pakati penyu achiti anotenda, kana asingadzori rurimi rwake, asi achinyengera moyo wake, chitendero cheuyu hachina maturo.
27 Religion pure and undefiled before the God and Father this is, to visit orphans and widows in the tribulation of them, unstained oneself to keep from the world.
Chitendero chakachena chisina kusvibiswa pamberi paMwari naBaba ndechichi: Kufambira nherera nechirikadzi pakutambudzika kwavo, azvichengete asina gwapa kubva kunyika.
