Yakobo 1
1 Yakobo n'tumwa ghwa K'yara ni ghwa Bwana Yesu Kristu kwa makabila kumi ni mabhele ghaghatabhwanyiki, salaam.
JAMES, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are dispersed, greeting.
2 Mubhalangayi kujha ni furaha nesu bhalongo bhangu, pamwip'eta mu malombosi agha ni agha,
My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into various trials;
3 mkamanyayi kujha kujaribibhwa kwa imani jha muenga jhikabhapela bhuvumilivu.
knowing that the proof of your faith produceth patience.
4 Mubhulekayi bhuvumilivu ujhikamilisiajhi mbombo jha muene, kwamba mubhwesiajhi kukomala kinofu, bila kup'ongh'okibhwa mu lyolyoha.
But let patience have its work perfected, that ye may be perfect and complete, deficient in nothing.
5 Lakini kama munu kati jha muenga ilonda hekima ajhisokayi kuhoma kwa K'yara ambajhe ipisya kwa bhunofu ni bila kujhwangila kwa bhanu bhabhakan'soka, ni kubhap, ela hekima.
But if any man of you be deficient in wisdom, let him ask it of God, who giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not and it shall be given him.
6 Lakini sokayi kwa imani bila bhuogha kwa kujha jhaajhe ni kubheka shaka ndo kama manyegha mu bahari ghitolibhwa ni mp'ongo khoni ni okhu.
But let him ask in faith, harbouring no doubt: for he who is doubtful is like a wave of the sea, driven by the wind, and in constant agitation.
7 Kwa hakika munu ojhu asifikiriri kwamba ibetakujhop'elibhwa liombi lya muene kuhoma kwa Bwana;
For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing from the Lord.
8 munu ojho ajhe ni nia sibhele: imaralepi mu njela sya muene syoha.
A double-minded man is unsteady in all his ways.
9 Bhalongo bhangu bhab'onji bhitondeka kwifuna mu kujhema kwa muene kunani,
Let the brother low in station rejoice in his elevation:
10 Bhwakati bhobhuobhu ndongo tajiri mu bhunyenyekefu bhwa muene kwa ndabha ibetakubhoka kama liua lya kondeni mu n'gonda lya ip'eta.
but the rich, in his abasement: for as the flower of grass he shall pass away.
11 Lijobha lihoma ni joto lya kulalisya kujhomesya mimea, ni maua ghijhoma ghibina ni unofu bhuake bhwifwa. Fefuefu bhanu matajiri bhibetakuchakala pagati mu mbombo sya bhene.
For the sun arose with fervour, and burnt up the grass, and the flower of it fell off, and the beauty of its appearance was lost: just so the rich man in his course of life shall wither away.
12 Abarikibhu munujhola jhaisindamala majaribu, kwa kujha baada jha kushinda lijaribu e'lu, ibetakujhamb'elela litaji lya uzima, ambajho jhiahidibhu kwa bhala bhabhan'ganili K'yara.
Blessed is the man who patiently supports temptation: for when he is proved, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to those who love him.
13 Munu jhajhioha ilondekalepi, kujobha paijaribibhwa, “Lijaribu e'le lihomela kwa K'yara.” Kwandabha K'yara ijaribibibhwa lepi ni uovu, ni K'yara muene akan'jaribu jhejhioha.
Let no man under temptation say, I am tempted of God: for God is incapable of temptation from evils, and he tempteth no man:
14 Khila munu ijaribibhwa ni tamaa sya muene sibhibhi syasikan'shawishi ni kumfuta patali.
but every person is tempted, when by his own peculiar passion he is born away, and ensnared.
15 Ndiponbaada jha tamaa jha dhambi kup'etenda luleme dhambi jhihogoleka, ni baada jha dhambi kukomala kinofu, jhimalikila mu mauti.
Then passion impregnated, bringeth forth sin, and sin reaching its consummation, bringeth forth death.
16 Bhalango bhangu bhapendwa, msikofibhu.
Be not deceived, my beloved brethren.
17 Khilanzawadi jhajhele jhinofu ni khila zawadi jhajhikamilifu jhihomela kunani, jhiselela pasi kuhoma kwa Dadi ghwa nuru. Kabhele ibadilikalepi kama kivuli kyakibadilika.
Every good gift, and every perfect gift, is from above, descending from the father of illuminations, with whom there is no variableness, nor shadow of change.
18 K'yara atusalili kutusalili kutupela tete uzima kwa lilobhi lya bhukueli, ili kwamba tubhwesiajhi kujha kama uzao bhwa kuanza miongoni mwa fiumbe fya muene.
Of his own choice he produced us by the word of truth, that we might be a sort of first fruit of his creatures.―
19 Mumanyili e'le bhalongo bhangu bhaganwa, khila mmonga ilondeka kujha njojhofu ghwa kup'eteka na sio njojhofu ghwa kulongela bhwala kudada,
Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath.
20 kwa kujha ligoga lya mwanadamu libhwesyalepi kubhomba mbombo jha K'yara.
For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God.
21 Henu mubhekayi patali uchafu bhwa dhambi ni bhubhibhi bhuoha bhwabhujhele mahali poha, ni kwa bhunyenyekevu mulijhambolelayi lilobhi lyalipandibhu mugati mwa muenga, ambalyo lijhele ni bhuwesu bhwa kuokola roho sya muenga.
Wherefore laying aside all vicious pollution, and the abundance of iniquity, receive with meekness the ingrafted word, which hath power to save your souls.
22 Mulitiajhi lilobhi, msilipeleki tu mwikikifya nafsi sya jhomu mwibhene.
But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves by false reasoning.
23 Kwa kujha kama jhehioha jhaakalipeleka lilobhi bila kulibhonibela mbombo ndo sabhwa ni munu jhaikilola pamihu pa muene halisi mu kiibho.
For if any man be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like a man that looks at his natural face in a glass;
24 Ikitathimini pamihu pa muene, na ikwilotela ni baada jha muda udebe ijhebhelela kyaiwaningana.
for he beheld himself, and went away, and immediately forgot what sort of person he was.
25 Bali munu jhola jha ikilanga kwa uangalifu bhwa sheria kamili sheria jha uhuru, ni kujhendelela kujhitii sio kwandabha muene mp'elekesiaji jhaiheb helela, munu ojho ibeta kubarikibhwa paibhomba.
But he that looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and perseveres, this man not being a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, he shall be blessed in his practice.
26 Ikajhelayi munu jhejhioha ibetakufikirila muene kujha ndo munu ghwa dini, lazima ibhwesyalepi kubhutabhwala lumilu lwa muene, akabhukofya muoyo bhwa muene ni dini jha muene ndo Pat'op'o.
If any man thinks he is a religious character among you, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man’s religion is vain.
27 Dini jhinofu na jhajhibeli kuharibibhwa palongolo pa K'yara ghwitu ni Dadi ndo ejhe: kubhatangatila bhakhebha ni bhajane mu malombosi gha bhene, ni kwilenda bhene ni bhufisadi bhwa dunia.
Pure religion and undefiled with God even the Father is this, To pay diligent attention to the orphans and widows in their affliction, and to preserve himself spotless from the world.
