Yakobo 1
1 Yakobo mutugwa wang'wi Tunda nu mukolo u Yesu Kilisto, kundugu makumi abiile nasapatiye milamu.
James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are in the Dispersion: Greetings.
2 Muale kutula ulowa nuwidu, aluna ane, nimukukiila munzago niyakununikunu.
Count it all joy, my brothers, when you fall into various temptations,
3 Meze mulingile kugeng'wa kuuhueli wanyu mepegwaugimya.
knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance.
4 Uleki, ugimya ukondye imilimo akwe, kina mulume kunonelya kisa, singa muuleke kuhielwa lehi.
Let endurance have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.
5 Kang'we ukole muntu ntogeela anyu utakile upolo, walompe kupuma kung'wi Tunda, nuepumya kuukende hangi singa wikenela kuehi niimulompa hangi wiapeza upolo.
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.
6 Ingi lompa kuuhueli, uleke kuailya, kunsoko nuiiailya, wipyanigwe nimaingu nenyanza wiholwa nung'wega nukugung'wa kunu nukunu.
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.
7 Kutai umuntu angauyu waleke kusegeela kina ilompi lakwe lukusingeligwa nu mukulu.
For that man shouldn’t think that he will receive anything from the Lord.
8 Muntu uyu ukete masigo abiili, singa ukandanie munzila yakwe yehi.
He is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.
9 Muluna numuluna inonee kikulya kunsoko akimekakung'wakwe migulia,
Let the brother in humble circumstances glory in his high position;
10 matungo yayoyayo muluna numugole kukiila kisimia kung'wakwe, kunsoko wikahega anga umpumbulu nuamung'wapo mumugunda nukeile.
and the rich, in that he is made humble, because like the flower in the grass, he will pass away.
11 Ilyoa litoloka nuupiu wikasonsa nukumisa mimea niampumbulu igweza nuuza wakwe wikuza. Uu uu niantu niagoli izizebipa mumilimo.
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.
12 Ukembetilwe umuntu numugimia mumageng'wa kunsoko anga wadula ingegwa wikasingilia ngala naupanga, naulagile kuawa niamuloilwe Itunda.
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.
13 Muntu wihi shainonee kutambula nukole migeng'wa, ingegwa ile lipumile kung'wi Tunda. Kunsoko Itunda shanga wigeng'wa nimabe, ni Tunda ung'wenso shawimugema wihi.
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.
14 Kila muntu wigeng'wa ninsulakwe nimupepelya nukumuluta kupumila kuli.
But each one is tempted when he is drawn away by his own lust and enticed.
15 Papo anga insula amilandu ikenke iimbi, umulandu wituga sunga anga umulandu anga wakonda lukukulu wihiela muusha.
Then the lust, when it has conceived, bears sin. The sin, when it is full grown, produces death.
16 Aluna ane alowa lekikikongi.
Don’t be deceived, my beloved brothers.
17 Kela izawadi niiza hange kela izawadi nikondanie kupuma kilunde, isima pehi kupuma kung'wa kung'wa Tata nuawelu, kwee shawikailika anga umulule nuipeloka.
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.
18 Itunda ausague kuupa use upanga kulukani la tai, kuhume kutula anga kiang'wandyo kuutugwa muintu yakwe.
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.
19 Mulengile ite aluna ane alowa. Kela ung'wao yemunonee watule mupepelyi kija, waleke kukaya kuligitia nukutaka.
So, then, my beloved brothers, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, and slow to anger;
20 Kunsoko utaki waantu shangaukituma itai ang'wi Tunda.
for the anger of man doesn’t produce the righteousness of God.
21 Kuitegwa iki kule impaala yamilandu nuubi wehinuukole kila upande lusingilyi kwa kusima ulukani nulutemewe mukateanyu uhumi kuuguna inkolo yanyu.
Therefore, putting away all filthiness and overflowing of wickedness, receive with humility the implanted word, which is able to save your souls.
22 Lugombi ulukani muleke ukija du, mukikongela munkolo yangu unyenye.
But be doers of the word, and not only hearers, deluding your own selves.
23 Kunsoko wehi nukija, wahite kulitumila umilimo wihanganga umuntu nuwigoza uusu wakwe uwenso mukioo.
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;
24 Wegema uusu wakwe, wekalongola matungo makupe wakiwaa neimpyani.
for he sees himself, and goes away, and immediately forgets what kind of man he was.
25 Inge umuntu uyu nuigoza kikendegeela milago nilikami nseigwe, ilago lawidesi, nukulongoleka kugomba, singa kunsoka noanso miji nuewa, umuntu nuanso ukukembetwa nukituma.
But he who looks into the perfect law 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.
26 Anga umuntu wihi wakusige ung'wenso kuite muntu wikumbiko. Hangi shuzepeeye ululime lakwe wikongela inkolo akwe nikumbeko lakwe nikanda.
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.
27 Ikumbiko niza nigila uubee ntongela ang'wi Tunda witu nu Tata ingi sile. Kuaailya ialekwa nao niashewe niagoha ao mulwago lao, nukisunga ienso nuube wihi.
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.
