雅各書 4
1 你們中間的戰爭是從那裏來的？爭端是從那裏來的？豈不是從你們肢體中戰鬥的私慾來的嗎？
From where [come] disputes and (from where *no*) quarrels among you? Surely from there, out of the passions of you those warring in the members of you?
2 你們貪戀，若得不到，於是便要兇殺；你們嫉妒，若不能獲得，於是就要爭鬥，起來交戰。你們得不到，是因為你們不求；
You desire and not have; you kill and covet and not are able to obtain; You quarrel and wrangle; Not you have (now *k*) because not to ask you;
3 你們求而不得，是因為你們求的不當，想要浪費在你們的淫樂中。
You ask and not receive, because wrongly you ask, that in the pleasures of you you may spend [it].
4 淫亂的人啊！你們不知道：與世俗友好，就是與天主為仇嗎？所以誰若願意作世俗的朋友，就成了天主的仇敵。
(adulterers — and *K*) Adulteresses! Surely you know that the friendship with the world hostility with God is? Who[ever] (maybe *N(k)O*) therefore shall choose a friend to be of the world, an enemy of God is appointed.
5 『天主以嫉妒愛慕他在我們內所安置的神靈，』或者你們以為聖經的這句話是白說的嗎？
Or think you that in vain the Scripture speaks? With envy yearns the Spirit that (he settled *N(k)O*) in us,
6 但他還賜更大的恩寵呢，為此說：『天主拒絕驕傲人，卻賞賜恩寵於謙遜人。』
Greater however He gives grace; Therefore it says: God [the] proud opposes, to [the] humble however gives grace.
7 所以，你們要服從天主，對抗魔鬼，魔鬼就必逃避你們；
do be subjected therefore to God. do resist (however *no*) the devil and he will flee from you,
8 你們要親近天主，天主就必親近你們。罪人們，你們務要潔淨你們的手；三心兩意的人，你們務要清潔你們的心！
do draw near to God and He will draw near to you. do cleanse [your] hands, [you] sinners, and do purify hearts, [you] double-minded.
9 你們要感到可憐，要悲哀，要哭泣；讓你們的喜笑變成悲哀，歡樂變成憂愁。
do be grieved and do mourn and do weep; The laughter of you to mourning (should be turned *N(k)O*) and the joy to gloom.
10 你們務要在上主面前自謙自卑，他必要舉揚你們。
do be humbled in the presence of (the *ko*) Lord and He will exalt you.
11 弟兄們，你們不要彼此詆毀。詆毀弟兄或判斷自己弟兄的，就是詆毀法律，判斷法律；若是你判斷法律，你便不是守法者，而是審判者。
Not do speak against one another, brothers; The [one] speaking against [his] brother (or *N(k)O*) judging the brother of him speaks against [the] Law and judges [the] Law; If however [the] Law you judge, not you are a doer of [the] Law but a judge.
12 只有一位是立法者和審判者，就是那能拯救人，也能消滅人的天主；然而你是誰，你竟判斷近人？
One there is Lawgiver (and Judge *NO*) who is being able to save and to destroy; You yourself (however *no*) who are (you who [are] judging *N(k)O*) the (neighbour? *N(K)O*)
13 好！現在你們說：「今天或明天，我們要往這城和那城去，在那裏住一年，作買賣獲利。」
do come now you who [are] saying; Today (or *N(k)O*) tomorrow (we will go *N(k)O*) into such city and (will spend *N(k)O*) there a year (one *K*) and (will trade *N(k)O*) and (will make a profit; *N(k)O*)
14 其實，關於明天的事，你們還不知道；你們的生命是什麼？你們原來不過是一股蒸氣，出現片刻，以後就消失了。
[you] who not you know what [is] on the next day [is] What [is] (for *ko*) the life of you! A vapor just (you are *N(K)(o)*) for a little [while] appearing then (and *k*) also vanishing;
15 你們倒不如這樣說：「上主若願意，我們就可以活著，就可以作這事或者那事。」
Instead [ought] to say you; If the Lord (shall wish *NK(o)*) both (we will live *N(k)O*) and (we will do *N(k)O*) this or that.
16 可是現在，你們卻猖狂自誇，這樣的自誇，都是邪惡的。
Now however you boast in the arrogance of you; All boasting such evil is.
17 所以人若知道該行善，卻不去行，這就是他的罪
To [him] knowing therefore good to do and not doing [it], sin to him it is.
