James 4
1 Where do wars and fightings among you come from? Don’t they come from your pleasures that war in your members?
Amabaatu nakukaning'hana pakati palyumue fihuma kughi? Asi nafihuma muvunoghele vwinu uvuvivi vuno vupelela uvulugu n'kate muvuhangelanesi viinu? Munoghilue fino namulinafyo.
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.
Mu uluo ndaponu mula kubuda. Muuva na mabatu nakulua, kange fino mulonda nampata ulwakuva namusuma kwa Nguluve.
3 You ask, and don’t receive, because you ask with wrong motives, so that you may spend it on your pleasures.
Nambe musuma uNguluve naikuvapulika ulwakuva musuma fino mulonda muvunoghelua vwiinu uvuvivi.
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.
Umue vaghenda mwalu! Namukagula kuuti kujighana iisi kupelela kuuva mulugu ghwa Nguluve? Kwe kuuti, umunhu ghweni juno ikujighana iisi ikuviika jujuo kuva mulugu ghwa Nguluve.
5 Or do you think that the Scripture says in vain, “The Spirit who lives in us yearns jealously”?
Pamo musagha kuuti amalembe amimike ghijova vuvule pono ghiiti uNguluve ilemala fiijo vwiimila umhepo ghwake junojuno ambikile mumojomumojo ghiitu pano ivona tukuvuhiila pikumughano umwene?
6 But he gives more grace. Therefore it says, “God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble.”
Niiki uNguluve ihumia uvumofu fiijo, ndavule amalembe ghiiti, “U Nguluve ikuntova unyamatupa, looli ikumpelagha uvumofu junoalinuvukola.”
7 Be subject therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
Lino, mukundaghe Kwan Nguluve. Munkanaghe usetano pe ghwope ikiimbala kuhuma kulyumue.
8 Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners. Purify your hearts, you double-minded.
Muvesaghe piping nu Nguluve, ghoope iva pipi numue. Musuke amavoko ghinu, umue mwe vahosi, kange muvalasiaghe amojo ghiinu, umue mwe vanyamasaghe ghaviili.
9 Lament, mourn, and weep. Let your laughter be turned to mourning and your joy to gloom.
Musukunalaghe, mulilaghe, nakujijivila! Mushetulaniaghe uluseko lyuinu love lusukunalo nu lukelo lyuinu luuve lusukunalo.
10 Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he will exalt you.
Move vakola jumue pa maso gha Mutwa, kange ikuvaghinia kukyanya.
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.
Vanyalukolo vango, mulekaghe kujovana fivi jumue Kwan jumue, juno ikunjova fiivi unjake nambe kuhigha, ujuo iiva ibenapula indaghilo sa Nguluve nakukusivona kuuva mbiivi. Nave ghuvona indaghilo mbiivi, apuo pe ghuva naghukusivingilila, looli ghuvikile kuuva mulamusi ghwa ndaghilo.
12 Only one is the lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy. But who are you to judge another?
Ghwe jumo mwene juno ihumia indaghilo nu vuhighi, Nguluve, umwene ghwenya vumofu vwa kutupoka na kutipula. Uve veve veeni ghwejuno ghukumhigha unjaako?
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.”
Mhumhulikisie, mwevano mwiiti, “Umusyughu nambe pakilavo, tuluta mulikaja iili, na kukukala umwaka ghwoni, kuvomba imbombo ja kughusia ifiinu, napitenda uluvumbulilo.”
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.
Veeni juno akagwileakagwile pakilavo kihumila kiki, kange uvwumi vwinu kinukiki fijo? Ulwakuva mulindavule ulutuka luno luvoneka unsiki ndebe vuvule nakusovanika.
15 For you ought to say, “If the Lord wills, we will both live, and do this or that.”
Muvele munoghile multi, “Nave uMutwa akeele tujighe vuumi, tuvomba iki name kila.”
16 But now you glory in your boasting. All such boasting is evil.
Neke umue mukughiniamukughinia na kukudadimba musino musagha kuvomba. ulughinio lwonilwoni uluo vohosi.
17 To him therefore who knows to do good and doesn’t do it, to him it is sin.
Lino, Kwa jujuo mwene umanyi ivomba inofu neke naivomba, kwa mwene ujuo nyiivi.
