Yakobo 1
1 Yakobo, omugaya wa Nyamuanga na Latabhugenyi Yesu Kristo, ku nganda ekumi nebhili jinu janyalambukile, enibhakesha.
Jacob, a servant of God and of the Lord Yeshua the Messiah, to the twelve tribes which are in the Diaspora: Greetings.
2 Mubhale ati nibhukondelewe bhwamfu, bhana bhasu, anu omulabha mukusakwa kwa bhulimbaga,
Count it all joy, my brothers, when you fall into various temptations,
3 mumenyati okulegejwa kwe likilisha lyemwe elibhayana okwigumisilisha.
knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance.
4 Musige obhwigumilisha bhukumishe emilimu jae, koleleki ati mukomele mwiimaliliye, na bhanu mutakugelukilwa chinu chonachona.
Let endurance have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.
5 Nawe agati yemwe omunu akenda obhwengeso, abhusabhwe okusoka ku Nyamuanga, unu kasosha kwelyenda kubhanu bhona abhamusabhwa, na kabhayana obhwengeso.
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 Nawe sabha kwelikilisha, utetimata, kulwokubha unu ketimata ali lwa likonjo mubhusibha, agagegibhwa no
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 muyaga nigeswa enu neyo. Omunu lwoyo atajakwiganilishati kalamilwa lisabhwa lyae okusoka ku Latabhugenyi;
For that man shouldn’t think that he will receive anything from the Lord.
8 omunu oyo keganilisha kabhili, atali mulengelesi munjila jae jona.
He is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.
9 Owasu omutaka jimwiile ekuye kwo kwimelegulu kwae ingulu,
Let the brother in humble circumstances glory in his high position;
10 omwanya ogwo ogwo owasu omunibhi mu kwikeya kwae, kulwokubha alisokao lwo bhwaso bhwa mwisanga munu kalabha.
and the rich, in that he is made humble, because like the flower in the grass, he will pass away.
11 Lisubha eliuluka na libhilabhila lyo okusimagisha ebhiyambwa, no bhwaso obhulagala no bhukonde bhwago nibhufwa. Nikwokutyo kutyo abhanu abhanibhi bhalinyamuka agati ye milimu jebhwe.
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 Ana libhando omunu unu kekomesha mumalegejo, akamala okusinga lilegejo elyo, kalamila olutenga lwo bhuanga, inu ilagilwe kubhanu abhamwenda Nyamuanga.
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 Munu wona wona nasige kwaikati akalegejwa, “Lilegejo linu elisoka ku Nyamuanga,”kulwokubha Nyamuanga atakulegejwa na bhunyamuke, na Nyamuanga omwene atamulegeja wona wona.
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 Bhuli munu kalegejibhwa no kuligila kwae kubhibhi jinu ejimukongyakongya no kumusila kula.
But each one is tempted when he is drawn away by his own lust and enticed.
15 Niwo ikeya okuligila kwe chibhibhi nchigega olubhunda, echibhibhi echibhulwa, ne chibhibhi chikakomela munomuno, echiletelela okufwa.
Then the lust, when it has conceived, bears sin. The sin, when it is full grown, produces death.
16 Bhana bhasu bhendwa, mutajakujigwa.
Don’t be deceived, my beloved brothers.
17 Bhuli chiyanwa chinu chili cha kisi na bhuli chiyanwa chinu chimile echisoka ingulu, echika emwalo okusoka ku Lata wo bhwelu. Sili sili atakuinduka lwa kutyo lilengesi eliinduka.
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 Nyamuanga achisolele okuchiyana eswe obhuanga bhwa Ligambo lye chimali, koleleki ati chibhe kuti lwibhulo lwa kwamba agati ye bhimogwa bhyae.
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 Omumenya linu, bhana bhasu bhendwa. Bhuli umwi jimwiile okubhwa mwangu wo kungwa, ataja kubha mwangu wo kuloma no kubhiililwa,
So, then, my beloved brothers, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, and slow to anger;
20 kulwokubha ebhinyinga bhyo mwana munu bhitakutula kukola obhulengelesi bhwa Nyamuanga.
for the anger of man doesn’t produce the righteousness of God.
21 Kulwejo mute alela obhujabhi bhwe echibhibhi no bhunyamuke bhwona bhunu bhuli mbala jona, na kwo bhwololo mulikilishe ligambo linu lyayambilwe munda yemwe, linu lino bhutulo bhwo kuchungula emyoyo jemwe.
Therefore, putting away all filthiness and overflowing of wickedness, receive with humility the implanted word, which is able to save your souls.
22 Mulikilishe ligambo, mutalyugwala, nimwijiga mumioyo jemwe abhene.
But be doers of the word, and not only hearers, deluding your own selves.
23 Kulwokubha wona wona unu kalyugwa nalema okulikolela omulimu nilwakutyo omunu alelola mwilole obhusu bhwae.
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 Kesusanisha obhusu bhwae, nagenda jae aonao nalabhilwa kutyo kasusa.
for he sees himself, and goes away, and immediately forgets what kind of man he was.
25 Nawe omunu unu kalola kwo bhulengelesi ebhilagilo, echilagilo cho kufung'ama, na komela okuchilubha atali kwa injuno omwene ni mutegelesha unu kalabhilwa, omunu unu ana libhando anu kabha nakola.
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.
26 Ikabha omunu wona wona neganilisha omwene ati ni munu wa dini, nawe atakutula kulutangasha olulimi lwae, kagujiga omwoyo gwae na idini ya ni bhusa.
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 Idini inu iliyakisi na inu itanabhunyamke imbele ya Nyamuanga weswe na Lata ni inu: okubhasakila bhanu bhafwiliwe na bhatumba gasi munyako jebhwe, no kwibhalilila eswe mumagambo ge chalo.
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.
