James 4
1 Whence come wars and strifes among you? Come they not hence, even of your passions, which war in your members?
Ooshshinne oli hintte giddo awuppe yii? Entti yey hintte asatethaa haaranaw olettiya hintte asho amuwaappe gidenneyye?
2 You desire, and you have not; you kill, and are earnestly desirous of having, and yet you can not obtain; you fight and war, and yet you have not, because you ask not.
Hintte amotteeta, shin demmeketa; hessa gisho, wodheeta. Minthi koyeeta, shin demmanaw dandda7ekketa; hessa gisho, ooyetteetanne oletteeta. Hintte Xoossaa woossonna gisho koyabaa demmeketa.
3 You ask, and receive not, because you ask amiss, that you may spend it on your passions.
Hintte woosseta, shin demmeketa. Hintte asho amuwaa polanaw wobbe ogen woossiya gisho demmeketa.
4 Adulterers and adulteresses, know you not that the friendship of the world is enmity to God? Whoever, therefore, will be a friend of the world, is an enemy of God.
Hinttenoo, laymateyssato! Ha alamiya dosey Xoossara morkke gideyssa erekketii? Ha alamiyara dabbotanaw koyey oonikka Xoossaara morkke.
5 Do you suppose that the scripture speaks to no purpose? Does the Spirit that dwells in us incline to envy? No.
Geeshsha Maxaafay, “Xoossay nunan daana mela oothida Ayyaanay, nuuni iyaw buzo gidana mela amottees” gidayssa coo gidabaa daanii?
6 But he gives more grace. Wherefore he says: God sets himself against the proud, but gives grace to the lowly.
Shin Geeshsha Maxaafay, “Xoossay otoranchchota ixxees, shin banttana kawushsheyssatas maarotethaa immees” yaagiya gisho, Xoossay maarotethaa darssidi immees.
7 Submit yourselves, therefore, to God; resist the devil, and he will flee from you;
Hessa gisho, Xoossaas haarettite; Xalahiyara eqettite; I hinttefe haakkana.
8 draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded men.
Xoossaakko shiiqite; I hintteko shiiqana. Hinttenoo, nagaranchchoto, hintte kushiya meecettite; nam77u qofi de7eyssato, hintte wozanaa geeshshite.
9 Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to sorrow.
Kayottite, yeekkitenne afuxite. Hintte miichchay yeehon, hintte ufayssay azzanon laameto.
10 Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he will exalt you.
Godaa sinthan hinttenatethaa kawushshite; hinttena dhoqqu dhoqqu oothana.
11 Do not speak evil one of another, brethren. He that speaks evil of his brother, and judges his brother, speaks evil of the law, and judges the law: but if you judge the law, you are not a doer of the law, but a judge.
Ta ishato, issoy issuwa zigiroppite. Ba ishaa zigireynne iya bolla pirddey higge zigireesinne higge bolla pirddees. Neeni higge bolla pirddiko higge bolla pirddeyssa gidaasappe attin higge poleyssa gidakka.
12 There is one law-giver that is able to save, and to destroy: who are you that judge another?
Higge immeynne pirddey Xoossaa xalaala. Ashshanawunne dhayssanaw dandda7ey iya. Yaatin, ne asa bolla pirddey neeni oonee?
13 Come, now, you that say, Let us go to-day, or to-morrow, into this city, and remain there a year, and trade, and make gain;
Hintte, “Nuuni hachchi woykko wontto ya katamaa woykko ha katamaa baana; yan laythi uttana; zal77idi wodhisana” yaageyssato, si7ite.
14 and yet you know not what will take place to-morrow. For what is your life? Is it not, indeed, a vapor, that appears for a little while, and then vanishes away?
Wontto aybi hananeekko hintte erekketa. Hintte de7oy waananekko erey oonee? Hintte guutha wode benttidi dhayiya akka mela.
15 Instead of that, you ought to say, If the Lord will, we shall live, and do this, or that.
Hessa aggidi, “Goday giikko nuuni daana; hayssa woykko hessa oothana” yaaganaw bessees.
16 But now you glory in your boastings: all such glorying is evil.
Shin hintte ha77i otortteetanne ceeqetteeta. Hessa mela ceeqo ubbay iita.
17 Therefore, to him that knows how to do good, and does it not, to him it is sin.
Hessa gisho, lo77obaa oothanaw erishe oothonna uraas hessi nagara.
