James 1
1 James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are in the Dispersion: Greetings.
Jemusi, mubelesi wa Leza a Mwami Jesu Kkilisito, kumusyobo yabantu ili kkumi ayibili imwayikide munyika: Injuzyo.
2 Count it all joy, my brothers, when you fall into various temptations,
Zyoonse muzibweze mbuli lukondo, nobakwesu, awo nimuyoswanana amakatazyo asiyenesiyene.
3 knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance.
Mulizi kuti kusunkwa kwalusyomo lwanu kuzyala banangatizi.
4 Let endurance have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.
Amulekele bunangatizi, bumaninsye mulimo wabo kuchitila kuti mukonzye kukkomena akumaninina, kamuta chibuli chintu.
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.
Pesi kuti umwi wanu kayanda busongo, amumuleke abukkumbile kuli Leza, ooyo uupa chakwangunuka alimwi katasandukili pe kulabo bakkumbila, alimwi uyomupa mbubo.
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.
Pesi amumuleke akumbile mukusyoma, kakutakwe kudoneka. Nkambo kufumbwa muntu uudoneka uli mbuli juwe mulwizi ilitontwa aluuwo alimwi kaliyumbwa kumabbazu woonse.
7 For that man shouldn’t think that he will receive anything from the Lord.
Nkambo muntu oyo tayelede kuyeya kuti uyotambula chimwi chintu kuzwa ku Mwami.
8 He is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.
Muntu ulobo ulamizezo-ibili, utakkalinkene pe munzila zyakwe zyonse.
9 Let the brother in humble circumstances glory in his high position;
Mumuleke mukwesu wachiimo chilaansi apakale muchuno chakwe chaajulu,
10 and the rich, in that he is made humble, because like the flower in the grass, he will pass away.
pesi imuvubi muchuno chakwe chilaansi, nkambo uzoyinda mbuli dubaluba lyalusaka musokwe.
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.
Nkambo izuba lizwa akupya akutenta alimwi kuyumya masokwe idubaluba lilaloka, alimwi bubotu bwalyo ngabwamana. Muli njiyeyi inzila, muntu uvubide uyoyangala akkati kalweendo lwakwe.
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.
Ulilongezezegwe oyo unangatila muchindi chamasunko. Nkambo aazunda masunko uyotambula ipande lyabuumi, eelyo lyakasyomezegwa aabo bayanda Leza.
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.
Kutakabi muntu utakaambe kuti akusunkwa, “Ndasungwa a Leza.” nkambo Leza tasunkwi achibi, alimwi we lwakwe tasunki muntu.
14 But each one is tempted when he is drawn away by his own lust and enticed.
Pesi umwi muntu usunkwa akupeekezya kwakwe, ikumukwelela kule akumweneena.
15 Then the lust, when it has conceived, bears sin. The sin, when it is full grown, produces death.
Musule aakuti impeekezyo yakomena mbuli chibi nichakakomena, chizyala lufu.
16 Don’t be deceived, my beloved brothers.
Tamweneenwi, nobakwesu bayandwa.
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.
Chonse chipo chibotu achoonse chipo chimaninide chizwa kujulu. Chiiza ansi kuzwa kuli Wisi wa mimuni. Kulinguwe takukwe kusanduka na imwenzule nkambo kakuchengunuka.
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.
Leza wakasala kuti tuzyalwe ajwi lyakasimpe, kuchitila kuti tube musyobo wamichelo mitanzi kuzintu zyoonse nzyakalenga.
19 So, then, my beloved brothers, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, and slow to anger;
Mulichizi echi, nobakwesu bayandwa: amuchite kuti muntu woonse afwambane kumvwa, anelele kukwambuula, anelele kukunyema.
20 for the anger of man doesn’t produce the righteousness of God.
Nkambo kunyema kwamuntu takumaninizyi bululami bwa Leza.
21 Therefore, putting away all filthiness and overflowing of wickedness, receive with humility the implanted word, which is able to save your souls.
Nkinkako amugwisye woonse mawunda mawunda aabulewusi busesemya bwazibi. Mubuntu amutambule ijwi litanyukulwi, eelyo likkonzya kuvuma myuuya yenu.
22 But be doers of the word, and not only hearers, deluding your own selves.
Amube bantu bachita zyamba ijwi pepe kuba baswilizi biyo, kamuli kulyena.
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;
Nkambo kuti muntu kamvwa biyo ijwi pesi katalichiti, uli mbuli muntu ulyeba busyu bwakwe mbububumbidwe muchiboniboni.
24 for he sees himself, and goes away, and immediately forgets what kind of man he was.
Ulalyeeba aazwa aawo ayende alimwi alube mpawawo kuti wali biyeni.
25 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.
Pesi muntu uulanga kabotu mumulawu walwangunuko, alimwi kayinkilila kunembo akuchita mbubobo, katali sikumvwa biyo uuluba, ooyu muntu ulalongezegwa kunchito zyakwe.
26 If anyone among you thinks himself to be religious while he doesn’t bridle his tongue, but deceives his heart, this man’s religion is worthless.
Kuti umwi muntu kaliyeya kuti ngwabuna Leza, pesi katazyotololi lulimi lwakwe, weena moyo wakwe, alimwi nzyasyoma nzyabuyo.
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.
Ilusyomo lusalala lutakwe kampenda kunembo lya Leza aa Taata ngayakuti: kugwasya bamuchaala abamukabafu kuli zibakatazya, akuliyobola ilwabo beni chakutaba akampenda nikaba komwe kaansi.
