James 4
1 a hinge ni ji vii ni hama ni katu kabi ye ni mi mbi/
From whence commeth warre and fighttynge amonge you: come they not here hence? even of youre volupteousnes that rayne in youre members.
2 son ndi na nafe na bi wuundu tiengu bina fena bi tsi ni vii u zizan bina fena don bina mye na
Ye lust and have not. Ye envie and have indignacion and cannot obtayne. Ye fight and warre and have not because ye axe not.
3 bi bre ndi na fe na don bina bre ni kon ndindi ma na bi son ndi bi tie ndu niwu ni kon meme ma
Ye axe and receave not because ye axe a mysse: even to consume it apon youre volupteousnes.
4 biyi bii tie kan binato na tie kpan ni ngbungblu ahi kwatre rji?
Ye advouterars and wemen that breke matrimonie: knowe ye not how yt the freshippe of ye worlde is ennimite to god warde? Whosoever wilbe a frende of the worlde is made the enemie of god.
5 bisi ya ndi ikpe wa nasi hla ahe megen? ibrji tsratsra wa a he ni i mbua nitie ngu kpukpo me?
Ether do ye thinke that the scripture sayth in vayne The sprite that dwelleth in you lusteth eve contrary to envie:
6 irji nno zizi babran itre rji tre ndi irji ni kamani ndrji u sentu ani tie zizi ni ndrji u katugyi
but geveth more grace.
7 nnotumbi ni rji kambi ni shetan ani tsutsu di kon yuwuu
Submit youre selves to god and resist the devyll and he will flye from you.
8 whie ye ni rji u wawu me ni whie ni yi ngla wo mbi biyi bi latre ngla sron mbi biyi bi sron ha
Drawe nye to god and he will drawe nye to you. Clense youre hondes ye synners and pourdge youre hertes ye waverynge mynded.
9 losron kpukpome losron yi ndu nza mbi kati losron ngyri mbi ndu kati yi
Suffre affliccios: sorowe ye and wepe. Let youre laughter be turned to mornynge and youre ioye to hevynes.
10 ka tu mbi gji ni shishi rji u wawu ni nzuyi wlunde.
Cast doune youre selves before the lorde and he shall lift you vp.
11 na tretre meme nitu vayi me na mrlivayi indji wa a tretre meme ma nitu vayima ko atron nitu vayi ma ani tretre meme ma nitu du nda ni bla tre nitu du a tsro ndi u na to ni nfutu na ukati indji u bla
Backbyte not one another brethren. He that backbyteh hys brother and he that iudgeth his brother backbyteth the lawe and iudgeth the lawe. But and yf thou iudge the lawe thou art not an observer of ye lawe: but a iudge.
12 indji riri nno du nda tretre wawuyi nito kpa cuwo nda kpa tie meme
Ther is one lawe gever which is able to save and to distroye. What art thou that iudgest another man?
13 wo mba biyi a bi tre ndi iuwa komble ki hi ni gbu mu ndi tie se ri nikima ndi le ndi fe gbugbuu
Go to now ye that saye: to daye and to morow let vs go into soche a citie and continue there a yeare and bye and sell and wynne:
14 ahi nhato kpe wa ni te imblea ka son me ni he ni he u he na kpalu wa ani rij niton fie me nda ka kadoa
and yet can not tell what shall happen to morowe. For what thynge is youre lyfe? It is even a vapoure that apereth for a lytell tyme and the vanyssheth awaye:
15 nawa u katre ndi baci nita kpa yine u ki he ni mi bi vrli ki tie wayi ndi tie wamu
For that ye ought to saye: yf the lorde will and yf we live let vs do this or that.
16 zizan u wuro ni san ni kpe wa uyo nimi sron mea bi bi wuro ni san kima ahi kpe memema
But nowe ye reioyce in youre bostinges. All soche reioysynge is evyll.
17 u indji wa ato kpe wa abi ndutiea nda na tieu na a hi latre ni wuu
Therfore to him that knoweth how to do good and doth it not to him it is synne.
