Jacob 1
1 Jacob, a servant of God and of the Lord Yeshua the Messiah, to the twelve tribes which are in the Diaspora: Greetings.
Jakovo, muhikana we Ireeza ni wa Simwine Jesu Kresite, ku mishovo ikwanisa iyanza ni yovele ahasene: Ni lumelisa.
2 Count it all joy, my brothers, when you fall into various temptations,
Mwihinde kiti ive kusanga, vakwangu, hamu hita mu matata mangi.
3 knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance.
Mwizi kuti kulikiwa kwe intumelo yenu kuleta ku lileta.
4 Let endurance have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.
Musiye ku lileta ku maniniza misevezi ya teni, ili kuti muve vakulite luli ni ku maniniza, ili kuti sanzi muvuli chimwi.
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.
Kono heva zumi kwenu hasaka vutali, avu kumbile kwa Ireeza, iye yoha chavungi mi nasa kanani, mi kavu hewe.
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.
Kono mumu siye a kumbile mwi Itumelo, na sa hakanyehi chimwi.
7 For that man shouldn’t think that he will receive anything from the Lord.
Imi yense yo hakanyeha u kola ili lindinda mwi wate lika vutizwa luhuho ni li zimbuluka feela. Cwale uzo muntu sanzi ahupuli kuti mwa wane chimi kwa Ireeza.
8 He is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.
Muntu wina vulyo wina mihupulo yovele, kawondeki mwi nzila zakwe.
9 Let the brother in humble circumstances glory in his high position;
Misiye mwetu we njevwe alitembe ka chi tulo chikando chakwe,
10 and the rich, in that he is made humble, because like the flower in the grass, he will pass away.
kono muhumane ali tembe cha kulikokoveza kwa chitolo chakwe, Mukuti kafwe sina impalisa ya mwinkanda ina mulyani.
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.
Imi izuva lizwa niku hisa ni kuzumisa lyani. Impalisa iwa, mi vulotu vwayo vumani, che nzila iswana, muhumanehi mwa mannine ha kati kamusipili.
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.
Wina imbuyoti muntu yo lileta kwi ntantuvo. Mi hakumba intantuvo, ava tambuli mushukwe wa vuhalo, vuva sepiswe kwavo vasaka Ireeza.
13 Let no man say when he is tempted, “I am tempted by God,” for God can’t be tempted by evil, and he himself tempts no one.
Muntu halikwa senzi ati, “Na likwa Ireeza,” Mukuti Ireeza kalikwa cha vuvi, Mi kaliki muntu.
14 But each one is tempted when he is drawn away by his own lust and enticed.
Kono muntu ni muntu ulikwa che ntakazo yakwe, imu kwita ni kumu chengelela.
15 Then the lust, when it has conceived, bears sin. The sin, when it is full grown, produces death.
Linu intakazo haimu chunina, i zala chivi. Mi chivi ha chikula, chizala ifu.
16 Don’t be deceived, my beloved brothers.
Sanzi Mu chengwa, vakwangu va sakiwa.
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.
Impo i ndotu ni impo ina hande izwa kwiwulu. i keza hansi kwuzwa kwe shetu we seli. Imi khakwe kakwina kuchinca kapa munzunde vakeñi chaku sanduka.
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.
Ireeza ava keti kutuha kupepa cha linzwii lye niti, ili kuti mufuta muselo we ntazi muzintu zonse za vapangi.
19 So, then, my beloved brothers, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, and slow to anger;
Mwizi izi, va kwangu vasakiwa: muntu ni muntu azuwe cha vuhweluhwelu, kusa hwela kuku wamba, kulyeha kuvenga.
20 for the anger of man doesn’t produce the righteousness of God.
Kuvenga kwa muntu kaku sevezi ka kuluka kwa Ireeza.
21 Therefore, putting away all filthiness and overflowing of wickedness, receive with humility the implanted word, which is able to save your souls.
chelyo ivaka musiye zina i kwe zonse, nichisina ko cha lunya. cha vuntu tu amuhele ka chishemo linzwii, liwola kuhaza luhuho lwetu.
22 But be doers of the word, and not only hearers, deluding your own selves.
Mutende zi lisaka linzwii isinyi ba lizuwa feela, kulichenga muvene.
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;
Mi heva zumi uzuwa linzwii kono kalitendisi, uswa uvu muntu yolilola muchimponi chifateho cha va pepwa kacho.
24 for he sees himself, and goes away, and immediately forgets what kind of man he was.
Hamana kulivona uyenda kule mi haho uzivala mwekalile.
25 But he who looks into the perfect Torah 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.
Kono muntu yo lilola chentokomelo kamulao wa kulukuluha, mi uzwila havusu kutenda, isinyi kuzuwa vulyo ni kuzivala, uzu muntu mwa tonolwefazwe ke Inkezo zakwe.
26 If anyone amongst you thinks himself to be religious while he doesn’t bridle his tongue, but deceives his heart, this man’s religion is worthless.
Heva zumwi uli hupuela kuti mulumeli, kono ka sikululi lulimwi lwakwe, u chenda inkulo yakwe, mi chilumeli chakwe kachina intuso.
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.
Ku chena ni ku sanyazahala kwa chilumeli havusu vwa Ireeza ni Ishetu njovu: Kutusa vasena veshavo ni mbwela mu vukavo vwavo, kuli vavalela kuvuvi vwe inkanda.
