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.
Zaki, kisadi ki Nzambi ayi ki Pfumu Yesu Klisto, mfidisidi nkandakuidi kumi makanda muadi ma batu ba Nzambi, momo matembakana va nza wumvimba.
2 Count it all joy, my brothers, when you fall into various temptations,
A bakhomba ziama, bika lumona khini mu thangu luidi mu zithotolo ziphila mu phila.
3 knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance.
Bika luzaba ti thotolo yi lummona mu minu kieno yimbutanga mvibudulu.
4 Let endurance have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.
Vayi mvibudulu yimanisa kisalu kiandi mu diambu lumonika batu bafuana ayi baduka mu mambu moso, muingi lubika kambu kadi diambu.
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.
Enati vadi mutu mu beno kambulu nduenga buna bika kalomba kuidi Nzambi wumvananga mu luzolo kuidi batu boso ayi niandi wumvananga mu kambutsembolo. Buna Nzambi wela kumvana.
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.
Vayi bika kalombila mu minu, mu kambu memata bila woso mutu weti memata dedikini banga mayo ma mbu, mannikunungu kuidi phemo; manlozongondambu na ndambu.
7 For that man shouldn’t think that he will receive anything from the Lord.
Mutu wu phila yayi kabika tula diana ditambula kima kuidi Pfumu,
8 He is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.
bila widi mutu wuvasuka mu mayindu mandi ayi widi mabaluka thangumu mabanza mandi.
9 Let the brother in humble circumstances glory in his high position;
Bika khomba yoyi yisukama, kakiniemisanga Nzambi bu keti kunnangika.
10 and the rich, in that he is made humble, because like the flower in the grass, he will pass away.
Vayi khomba yi kimvuana, kakiniemisanga Nzambi bu keti kunkululabila wela vioka banga teka ki tsola.
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.
Thangu bu yitotukidi; buna muini andi wu ngolo wuyumisini biti, teka kiandi kibuidi ayi kitoko kiandi kilalikini. Buawu bobo buela lalikinina nkua kimvuama mu mabanza mandi.
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.
O khini kuidi mutu wowo weti kanga ntima mu phukumunu; bila bu kela monika wukuikama mu phukumunu, wela tambula budu ki luzingu; luzingu lolo Nzambi kavanina tsila kuidi batu bobo beti kunzola.
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.
Muaki mutu kabika tuba bu kavukumunu ti “Nzambi wulembo phukumuna”. Buna Bila mambu mambimbi malendi vukumuna Nzambi ko ayi niandi veka Nzambikalendi vukumuna mutu ko.
14 But each one is tempted when he is drawn away by his own lust and enticed.
Vayi kadika mutu weti vukumunu bu keti tutu ayi vunukuidi zitsatu ziandi zimbimbi.
15 Then the lust, when it has conceived, bears sin. The sin, when it is full grown, produces death.
Bosi tsatu yimbimbi bu yiyedidi, yimbutanga masumu; bosi masumu mawu yela mambutanga lufua.
16 Don’t be deceived, my beloved brothers.
Diawu bakhomba ziama zi luzolo, lubika vunuka,
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.
bila kadika dikaba dimboti ayi kadika dikaba difuanadintotukilanga ku yilu kuidi dise dimvananga kiezila. Mu niandi muisiko kadi luviakunu ayi kadi kitsuisula ki luviakunu.
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.
Mu luzolo luandi veka, niandi wutubuta mu nzika mambu mandi ma kiedika muingi tuba banga batheti mu bivangu biandi.
19 So, then, my beloved brothers, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, and slow to anger;
A Bakhomba baama zi luzolo, bika kadika mutu kabanga wukubama mu wa; kabika vika yolukanga ayi kabika vika fuemanga.
20 for the anger of man doesn’t produce the righteousness of God.
Bila nganzi yi mutu yilendi vanga ko mambu masonga ma Nzambi.
21 Therefore, putting away all filthiness and overflowing of wickedness, receive with humility the implanted word, which is able to save your souls.
Diawu lozanu mvindu woso ayi mambu moso mambimbi. Lutambula, mu kukikulula, mambu ma Nzambi, makunu mu mintima mieno, bila mawu mabeki lulendo lu vukisila miela mieno.
22 But be doers of the word, and not only hearers, deluding your own selves.
Muaki lubika sia ti ko wa na wa kaka tala luedi kukivuna beno veka vayi lusadilanga mawu.
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;
Bila enati mutu weti wa mambu ma Nzambi vayi kamasadilanga ko, niandi dedikini banga mutu wuntala zizi kiandi mu lumueno;
24 for he sees himself, and goes away, and immediately forgets what kind of man he was.
niandi mana kukitala, wedi kuandi ayi tumbulu zimbakana buevi kadidi.
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.
Vayi woso mutu weti landakana bumboti Mina mifuana miomimimvananga kiphuanza, ayi, widi wukangama mu miawu mu kambu kumizimbakana bu kamiwilu, vayi wukumisadilanga, buna mutu wowo wela monakhini mu mambu moso kamvanga.
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.
Enati mutu weti kukibanzila ti niandi widi nsambidi wu Nzambivayi kasi zaba ko yadila ludimi luandi ko; buna wulembo kukivuni ayi sambila kuandi kuidi kuphamba.
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.
Kinzambi kikiedika ayi kikambulu bila va meso ma Nzambi, dise; kuawu kuaku: sadisa bana basana ayi mafuola mu ziphasi ziawu ayi kukikeba wuvedila mu mambu ma ntoto.
