Yakobe 4:1-17
4 Kasi nkhondo na mbembe zikufuma nkhu pakati pinu? Asi zikufuma mu makhumbiro ghinu gha thupi agho ghakulimbana mukati mwinu?*+
2 Mukukhumba vinthu, kweni mukuvisanga yayi. Mukukoma ŵanthu ndipo mukudokera, kweni mukuvisanga yayi. Mukutimbana na kurwa nkhondo.+ Mulije vinthu, chifukwa chakuti mukupempha yayi.
3 Mukulomba, kweni mukupokera yayi, chifukwa mukulomba na khumbo liheni, kuti musakazire pa makhumbiro ghinu gha thupi.
4 Mwaŵaleŵi* imwe, kasi mukumanya yayi kuti kuŵa pa ubwezi na charu mbulwani na Chiuta? Ntheura, waliyose uyo wakukhumba kuŵa mubwezi wa charu, wakujizgora mulwani wa Chiuta.+
5 Panji kasi mukughanaghana kuti lemba likuyowoya pawaka kuti: “Mzimu uwo ukukhala mwa ise ukukhumba kuti tichitenge bina”?+
6 Ndipouli, lusungu lukuru ulo Chiuta wakupeleka likuluska mzimu uwu. Lekani lemba likuti: “Chiuta wakususka ŵakujikuzga,+ kweni ŵakujiyuyura wakuŵapa lusungu lukuru.”+
7 Ntheura jilambikani kwa Chiuta,+ kweni suskani Dyabulosi+ ndipo wamuchimbiraninge.+
8 Sendelerani kwa Chiuta, ndipo iyo wasendelerenge kwa imwe.+ Tozgani mawoko ghinu imwe ŵakwananga,+ ndipo tuŵiskani mitima yinu,+ imwe mukukayika.
9 Chitani chitima, tengerani na kulira.+ Seko zinu zizgoke chitengero, ndipo chimwemwe chinu chizgoke chitima.
10 Jiyuyurani pamaso pa Yehova,*+ ndipo iyo wamukwezganinge.+
11 Ŵabali, lekani kunenana.+ Uyo wakunena mubali panji kweruzga mubali wake, wakunena dango ndipo wakweruzga dango. Sono usange ukweruzga dango, ukulondezga dango yayi, kweni ndiwe mweruzgi.
12 Pali yumoza pera uyo wakupeleka dango na kweruzga,+ uyo wakumanya kuponoska na kuparanya.+ Kweni iwe ndiwe njani kuti weruzgenge munyako?+
13 Sono pulikizgani, imwe mukuti: “Muhanya uno panji machero tilutenge ku msumba wakuti ndipo tamukhalako chaka chimoza, ndipo tamuchita bizinesi na kusanga phindu,”+
14 apo mukumanya yayi umo umoyo winu uŵirenge machero.+ Pakuti ndimwe nyakhuŵinda uyo wakuwoneka nyengo yichoko waka na kuzgeŵelekera.+
15 Kweni muyowoyenge kuti: “Usange Yehova* wakhumba,+ tiŵenge ŵamoyo ndiposo tizamuchita chakuti panji chakuti.”
16 Kweni imwe mukunotha. Kunotha kose uku nkhuheni chomene.
17 Ntheura, usange munthu wakumanya umo wangachitira icho ntchakwenelera kweni wakuchichita yayi, wakwananga.+
