Kalata ya Yakobo 2:1-26
2 Akwasu, kansi muganiza kuti mukhulupilila Ambuye wasu Yesu Khilisitu, wamene ni waulemelelo, pamuchita vinthu mokondela?
2 Munthu wamene wavwala ling’i za golide na vovwala vodula akafwika pa nsonkhano wanu, lomba muyakinesoti wamene wavwala vovwala valunsa akafwika,
3 kansi musangalala na wala wavwala vovwala vodula nomuuja kuti, “Nkhalani apa pa malo aweme” koma wala wosauka nomuuja kuti: “Wewo uyambe wapanama tetyo,” olo, “Nkhala apa pansi pafupi na chokandapo mendo ŵangu”?
4 Lomba keno muchita vamene ivi, kansi muwoneshalini sankho pakati panu? Ndipo kansi pamene apa muliye nkhale oweluza amene opeleka vigamulo viipa?
5 Mvwishilani akwasu apantima. Kansi Mulungu aliye sankhe ŵanthu amene ichi chalo chuŵawona kuti ni osauka kuti ankhale olemela mu chikhulupililo komasoti kuti ankhale oyenelela kupasiwa Ufumu wechilonjeza Mulungu kuli ŵanthu amene omukonda?
6 Koma mwewo mulemekezalini ŵanthu osauka. Kansi ni ŵanthulini olemela amene okutamanishani komasoti kuluta namwe ku malo otongela milandu?
7 Kansi ni amene awolini amene onyoza zina iweme ngako yemwipasiwa?
8 Lomba keno mukonkheja lamulo ya chifumu yakuti, “Ukokonda muyako monga ni mwaulikondela weka,” monga ni mwayunenela lemba, muchita luweme ngako.
9 Koma mukapitilija kunkhala okondela, muchita chimo ndipo lamulo yuwoneshelatu* kuti nimwe ophoniya.
10 Aliyense wamene omvwila Chilamulo akaphoniya mbali imozi, niye kuti waphoniyela Chilamulo chonse.
11 Chifukwa wamene enena kuti, “Osachita chigololo,” enenasoti kuti, “Osapaya munthu.” Lomba keno uliyechite chigololo, koma wapaya munthu, niye kuti waphoniyela chilamulo.
12 Mukolaŵila komasoti kuchita vinthu monga ni ŵanthu akuti azaweluziwe na chilamulo cha ŵanthu amene ali pa ufulu.*
13 Chifukwa munthu wamene owoneshalini chifundo azaweluziwelini mwachifundo. Chifundo ni chikulu kupambana chiweluzo.
14 Akwasu, kansi pali pindu yanji keno muyakine anganene kuti ali na chikhulupililo koma ochitalini ntchito zake? Kansi chikhulupililo chamene icho chingamupulumushe?
15 Keno nkwasu olo kalongosi aliye vovwala* komasoti chakulya chokwanila pa nsiku yamene iyo,
16 koma muyakine wa mwewo nomuuja kuti, “Uyende luweme, ufwane vovwala na vakulya va nsiku iliyonse,” koma osamupasa vamene ivo vakufunikila kuti ankhale na moyo, kansi pali pindu yanji?
17 N’chimozi-mozisoti chikhulupililo pacheka, keno chiliye ntchito zake, ni chakufwa.
18 Koma muyakine anganene kuti: “Wewo uli na chikhulupililo, koma newo nili na ntchito zake. Uniwoneshe chikhulupililo chako paliye ntchito zake, ndipo newo nikuwoneshe chikhulupililo changu kupitila mu ntchito zangu.”
19 Ukhulupilila kuti kuli Mulungu mmozi, n’tetyolini? Uchita luweme. Koma navosoti viŵanda vukhulupilila ndipo vunjenjemela.
20 Bulutu wewo, kansi uziŵalini kuti chikhulupililo chiliye ntchito zake chiliye pindu?
21 Kansi Abulahamu atata ŵasu aliye wonewe kuti ni wolungama chifukwa cha ntchito zake, pechipeleka mwana wake Isaki nsembe pa guwa?
22 Ni vowonekelatu kuti chikhulupililo chake chiyendela pamozi na ntchito zake, ndipo ntchito zake zamene izo zechitisha kuti chikhulupililo chake chinkhale changwilo.
23 Tetyo lemba ikwanilishiwa yamene yunena kuti: “Abulahamu ekhulupilila vechimuuja Yehova ndipo enzewonewa kuti ni wolungama,” tetyo enzeziŵika kuti ni shamwali wa Yehova.
24 Mwawona kuti munthu owonewa kuti ni wolungama chifukwa cha ntchito zake, osati chifukwa tyala cha chikhulupililo.
25 Molingana na vamene ivi, kansi Lahabi wala wamene enze hule, aliye wonewesoti kuti ni wolungama chifukwa cha ntchito zake, pechilondela luweme ŵanthu amene enzefufuza chalo chawo noŵayavya kuti athaŵe kupitila njila iyakine?
26 Kulaŵila chendi, muŵili wamene uliye mzimu* unkhala wakufwa, molingana na vamene ivi nachosoti chikhulupililo chiliye ntchito zake ni chakufwa.
