James 4
1 Where do wars and fightings among you come from? Don’t they come from your pleasures that war in your members?
Wilei nuhutani mung'wanyu upumile pee? Shangauukie munsula yanyunee nimbe nuukuleta imbita muihangwili wanyu?
2 You lust, and don’t have. You murder and covet, and can’t obtain. You fight and make war. You don’t have, because you don’t ask.
Mukite insula ike nimiagila. Mukubulaga nukiduma ikenimiagila uhumi kutula nikenso. Mukikua nukilea, hangi mukile mupate kunsoko shangamunulompile Itunda.
3 You ask, and don’t receive, because you ask with wrong motives, so that you may spend it on your pleasures.
Mukulompa shanga mukupegwa kunsoko mukulompa mupegwe mitumile munkani nimbe, inge muhume kitumila munsula yanyu nimbe.
4 You adulterers and adulteresses, don’t you know that friendship with the world is hostility toward God? Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.
Unye asambo! Shamulingilene kina ishumbashuya nuunku mbigulu kina ulugu kung'wi Tunda.
5 Or do you think that the Scripture says in vain, “The Spirit who lives in us yearns jealously”?
Ang'wi mulingile inkilele inge ngila anga ndogoelyo niilungile kina ung'waung'welu nukule mukate itu ukete wilu ukulu kunsoko itu.
6 But he gives more grace. Therefore it says, “God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble.”
Ingi Itunda wipumya ukende kukila, yeyo ndogoilyo inkeele ilungile, Itunda wimugilya nulugoha, inge wemupeza ukende uyu nuisima.
7 Be subject therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
Iti ipumyi kung'wi Tunda, mugilyi umulugu nung'wenso ukumanka ukuhega kung'wanyu.
8 Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners. Purify your hearts, you double-minded.
Humbeeli pakupe ni Tunda, nung'wenso ukumuhumbila pakupenunyenye. Kalali imikono anyu, unye nimiamilando, hangi melye inkolo yanyu, unye nimeailya.
9 Lament, mourn, and weep. Let your laughter be turned to mourning and your joy to gloom.
Tuli nuukia muhongelye, hangi mulile! Peuli imaheko anyu atule ukea nuulowa wanyu utule uhongelya.
10 Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he will exalt you.
Misimye unyenye ntongeela ang'wa Bwana, uzizamuhumbula migolya.
11 Don’t speak against one another, brothers. He who speaks against a brother and judges his brother, speaks against the law and judges the law. But if you judge the law, you are not a doer of the law but a judge.
Muleke kitambula nyenye kwa nyenye, muluna, umuntu nukutambula nimabe kumuluna ang'we akumusemela milagolang'wi Tunda. Angamulisemele ilago, shangamugombile ilago inge mulisemee.
12 Only one is the lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy. But who are you to judge another?
Inge ung'wedu numupumya ilago nitai, Itunda, ng'wenso ukete uhumi nuokuguna nukulimilya uwe wenyenyu nukumulamuila umunyakesali?
13 Come now, you who say, “Today or tomorrow let’s go into this city and spend a year there, trade, and make a profit.”
Sitegelyi, unye nimilunga, Leloang'we mudau kinzu mukisale ike, nukikie ung'waka uwu, nukuduma nukutugisa nsao.
14 Yet you don’t know what your life will be like tomorrow. For what is your life? For you are a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away.
Nyenyu nulingile kina ntuninikapumila mudau, nulikalo lanyu ntuni gwaa? Kunsoko mimyani nikuhi nuigeela matungo makupi sunga wikalimila.
15 For you ought to say, “If the Lord wills, we will both live, and do this or that.”
Angaaza mulunge, angeze ulowa wang'wa Bwana, kuikie nokituma ike neko.
16 But now you glory in your boasting. All such boasting is evil.
Inge itungiile mekaaona mumasego anyu. Uwioni wihi uujuinge ube.
17 To him therefore who knows to do good and doesn’t do it, to him it is sin.
Kuitegwa uyu numanyile kituma nimaza sunga shaikituma kung'wakwe nuanso mulandu.
