Santiago 4
1 Nondic guerlác eta guduac çuen artean? eza hemendic, diot, çuen voluptate çuen membroetan guerla eguiten dutenetaric?
From where are wars and fightings among you? Is it not from here: from your pleasures warring in your body-parts?
2 Desiratzen duçue eta eztuçue vkaiten, inuidioso çarete eta bekaitz, eta ecin ardiets deçaqueçue: combatitzen çarete eta guerla eguiten duçue, baina eztuçue desiratzen duçuena, ceren ezpaitzarete escatzen.
Ye desire and do not have, so ye murder. And ye envy and cannot obtain, so ye fight and make war. Ye do not have, because ye do not ask.
3 Escatzen çarete eta eztuçue recebitzen: ceren gaizqui escatzon baitzarete, çuen voluptatetan despenda deçaçuençát.
Ye ask, and do not receive, because ye ask wrongly, so that ye may spend on your pleasures.
4 Adulteroác eta adulterác, eztaquiçue ecen munduaren adisquidetassuna, Iaincoaren etsaytassun dela? nor-ere bada nahi içanen baita munduarequin adisquide, Iaincoaren etsay iartenda.
Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is hatred of God? Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world becomes an enemy of God.
5 Ala vste duçue ecen Scripturác alferretan erraiten duela, Inuidiatara aurthiten du çuetan habitatzen den spirituac?
Or think ye that the scripture says vainly, The Spirit that he caused to dwell in us yearns with jealousy?
6 Aitzitic du gratia handiagoa emaiten, halacotz dio, Iaincoac vrgulutsuey resistitzen draue, eta humiley gratia emaiten.
But he gives greater grace. Therefore it says, God is opposed to the arrogant, but gives grace to the lowly.
7 Çareten bada suiet Iaincoaren, resisti ieçoçue deabruari, eta ihes eguinen du çuetaric.
Be subordinate therefore to God, but resist the devil and he will flee from you.
8 Hurbil çaquitzate Iaincoari, eta hurbilduren çaiçue: garbitzaçue escuac, o bekatoreác, eta purificaitzaçue bihotzac, o gogo doblatacoác.
Approach God and he will approach you. Cleanse the hands, ye sinners, and purify the hearts, ye double-minded.
9 Affligi çaitezte eta eguiçue lamentatione eta nigar: çuen irria nigarretara conuerti bedi, eta çuen alegrançá tristitiatara.
Be ye sorrowful, and mourn, and weep. Let your laughter be turned into mourning, and your joy into a downcast look.
10 Humilia çaitezte Iaunaren aitzinean, eta goraturen çaituzté.
Be ye made lower in the sight of the Lord, and he will lift you up.
11 Elkarren contra etzaiteztela gaizqui minça, anayeác: anayearen contra minço denac, eta bere anayea condemnatzen duenac, Leguearen contra gaizqui erraiten du, eta Leguea condemnatzen du: eta baldin Leguea condemnatzen baduc, ezaiz Leguearen eguile, baina iuge.
Speak not against each other, brothers. He who speaks against a brother and judges his brother, speaks against law and judges law. But if thou judge law, thou are not a doer of law, but a judge.
12 Legue eçarlea bat da salua eta gal ahal deçaquena: hi nor aiz bercea iugeatzen duana?
There is one lawgiver who is able to save and to destroy, but thou, who are thou who judge the other man?
13 Eya orain erraiten duçuenác, Egun edo bihar ioanen gara hiri batetara, eta egonen gara han vrthebat, eta merkatalgoa eguinen dugu, eta irabaciren dugu:
Go now, men who say, Today and tomorrow we will go into this city, and will operate one year there, and will engage in trade and will get gain-
14 Eztaquiçuelaric biharamunean cer içanen den: ecen cer da çuen vicia? ecen appur batetacotz aguertzen eta guero deseguiten den vaporebat da.
men who know not of the morrow. For what is your life? For it will be a vapor that appears for a little while, and then also vanishes away-
15 Erran behar cindutenaren lekuan, Baldin Iaunac nahi badu, eta vici bagara, eguinen dugu haur edo hura.
in place of your saying, If the Lord should will, then we will live and do this or that.
16 Baina orain gloriatzen çarete çuen vanterietan: horlaco gloriatze gucia gaichto da.
But now ye boast in your arrogance. All such boasting is evil.
17 Bada vngui eguiten daquianac eta ez eguiten, bekatu eguiten du.
He therefore who knows to do good, and is not doing it, to him it is sin.
