Yakobe 3:1-18
3 Ŵabali ŵane, mwaŵanandi mungaŵanga ŵasambizgi yayi, pakumanya kuti tizamupokera cheruzgo chikuru.+
2 Pakuti tose tikukhuŵara* nyengo zinandi.+ Usange munyake wakuleka kukhuŵara mu mazgu, uyu ni munthu wakufikapo, wakumanya kukora thupi lake lose.
3 Usange tikuŵika vyakukolera mu milomo ya mahachi kuti ghatipulikirenge, tikulongozgaso na mathupi ghawo ghose.
4 Wonaniso ngalaŵa: Nangauli ni zikuru chomene ndipo zikututuzgika na mphepo yankhongono, kweni uyo wakwendeska wakugwiliskira ntchito kankhafi kachoko chomene kuti yilazge uko wakukhumba.
5 Lulimi nalo nkhachiŵaro kachoko chomene ka thupi kweni kakujilumba chomene. Wonani, kamoto kachoko waka kakubuska nkhorongo yikuru!
6 Lulimi nalo ni moto.+ Pa viŵaro vithu vyose, chiŵaro chiheni chomene ni lulimi, pakuti likukazuzga thupi lose+ ndipo likumyangura umoyo wa munthu ndipo leneko likotcheka na Gehena.*
7 Pakuti mitundu yose ya vikoko vyamuthengere kweniso viyuni na vinthu vyakukhwaŵa na vilengiwa vya mu nyanja, ŵanthu ŵangaviŵeta nakuti ŵakuviŵeta.
8 Kweni palije munthu wangaŵeta lulimi. Nkhanthu kambura kukoleka na kakupweteka, nkhakuzura na poyizoni wakukoma.+
9 Tikulumbira nalo Yehova,* Adada, kweniso tikutembera nalo ŵanthu awo ŵali kulengeka “mu chikozgo cha Chiuta.”+
10 Mu mulomo umoza pera mukufuma kutumbika na kutemba.
Ŵabali ŵane, ntchakwenelera yayi kuti vinthu ivi vilutilire kuchitika nthena.+
11 Kasi pa chisimi chimoza pakufuma maji ghawemi* na ghakuŵaŵa?
12 Ŵabali ŵane, kasi vingachitika kuti khuni la mkuyu lipambike maolive, panji khuni la mpheska kupambika vikuyu?+ Chisimi cha maji gha mchere nacho chingafumiska maji ghawemi yayi.
13 Ni njani ngwavinjeru na wakupulikiska pakati pinu? Na nkharo yake yiwemi walongore milimo yakuzika, kuzika uko kukufuma mu vinjeru.
14 Kweni usange muli na sanji yikuru+ na mphindano*+ mu mitima yinu, mungajilumbanga yayi,+ chifukwa para mwachita nthena ndikuti mukuteta.
15 Ivi ni vinjeru vyakufuma kuchanya yayi, kweni ni vyacharu chapasi,+ vya uchinyama, na uchiŵanda.
16 Pakuti apo pali sanji na mphindano,* paliso utimbanizgi na uheni wamtundu uliwose.+
17 Kweni vinjeru vyakufuma kuchanya, chakwamba ni vituŵa,+ pamanyuma vyamtende,+ vyakupulikiska,+ vyakupulikira luŵiro, vyakuzura na lusungu na vipambi viwemi,+ vikutemwera yayi,+ ni vyambura upusikizgi.+
18 Kweniso chipambi cha urunji, mbuto yake yikuseŵeka mu mtende+ chifukwa cha awo ŵakusungilira mtende.+
