James 4
1 Where do wars and contentions among you come from? Is it not from this: from your own desires, which battle within your members?
Sadino ti naggapuan iti panagaapa ken panagsisinnupiat kadakayo? Saan kadi a nagtaud daytoy kadagiti dakes a tarigagayyo nga agbibinnusor iti unegyo?
2 You desire, and you do not have. You envy and you kill, and you are unable to obtain. You argue and you fight, and you do not have, because you do not ask.
Tartarigagayanyo ti awan kadakayo. Mangpataykayo ken kamkamatenyo ti saanyo a matagikua. Agaapa ken agriringgorkayo, ngem saanyo a magun-od gapu ta saankayo a dumawdawat iti Dios.
3 You ask and you do not receive, because you ask badly, so that you may use it toward your own desires.
Dumawatkayo ket saankayo a makaawat gapu ta dakes a banbanag dagiti dawdawatenyo, tapno mabusbusyo dagitoy kadagiti dakes a tartarigagayyo.
4 You adulterers! Do you not know that the friendship of this world is hostile to God? Therefore, whoever has chosen to be a friend of this world has been made into an enemy of God.
Dakayo a mannakikamalala a babbai! Saanyo kadi nga ammo nga ti pannakigayyem iti lubong ket pannakisuppiat maibusor iti Dios? Ngarud, ti siasinoman a mangikeddeng nga agbalin a gayyem iti lubong ar-aramidenna ti bagina a kabusor iti Dios.
5 Or do you think that Scripture says in vain: “The spirit which lives within you desires unto envy?”
Wenno ipagarupyo kadi nga awan kaipapanan ti Nasantoan a Sursurat no ibagbagana a ti Espiritu nga inkabilna kadatayo ket umap-apal unay para kadatayo?
6 But he gives a greater grace. Therefore he says: “God resists the arrogant, but he gives grace to the humble.”
Ngem mangmangted pay ti Dios iti ad-adu a parabur, nga isu ti gapu na a kinuna iti Nasantoan a Surat, “Supringen ti Dios dagiti napalanguad, ngem mangmanted iti parabur kadagiti napakumbaba.”
7 Therefore, be subject to God. But resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
Ngarud, paiturayanyo ti bagbagiyo iti Dios. Supringenyo ti diablo, ket panawannakayonto.
8 Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners! And purify your hearts, you duplicitous souls!
Umasidegkayo iti Dios, ket umasidegto isuna kadakayo. Dalusanyo dagiti imayo, dakayo a managbasol, ken pasin-awenyo dagiti pusoyo, dakayo nga agduadua.
9 Be afflicted: mourn and weep. Let your laughter be turned into mourning, and your gladness into sorrow.
Agliday, agladingit, ken agsangitkayo! Pagbalinenyo dagiti katkatawayo a ladingit ken ti rag-oyo a liday.
10 Be humbled in the sight of the Lord, and he will exalt you.
Agpakumbabakayo iti sangoanan ti Apo, ket itag-aynakayonto.
11 Brothers, do not choose to slander one another. Whoever slanders his brother, or whoever judges his brother, slanders the law and judges the law. But if you judge the law, you are not a doer of the law, but a judge.
Saankayo nga agsao iti maibusor iti maysa ken maysa, kakabsat. Ti tao nga agsao maibusor iti maysa a kabsat wenno mangukom iti kabsatna ket agsasao a maibusor iti linteg ken uk-ukomenna ti linteg ti Dios. No ukomenyo ti linteg, saankayo nga agtultulnog iti linteg, ngem maysa nga ukom iti daytoy.
12 There is one lawgiver and one judge. He is able to destroy, and he is able to set free.
Maysa laeng ti mangmangted iti linteg ken ukom, ti Dios, ti makaisalakan ken makadadael. Siasinokayo a mangukom iti kaarrubayo?
13 But who are you to judge your neighbor? Consider this, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go into that city, and certainly we will spend a year there, and we will do business, and we will make our profit,”
Dumngegkayo, dakayo nga agibagbaga, “Ita nga aldaw wenno inton bigat ket mapankaminto iti daytoy nga ili, ket agnaedkami idiay iti maysa a tawen, ket agtagilakokami, ket makagungunakaminto.”
14 consider that you do not know what will be tomorrow.
Siasino ti makaammo iti mapasamak inton bigat, ken ania ngay met koma ti biagyo? Ta kaslakayo angep nga agparang iti apagbiit ket kalpasanna agpukaw.
15 For what is your life? It is a mist that appears for a brief time, and afterwards will vanish away. So what you ought to say is: “If the Lord wills,” or, “If we live,” we will do this or that.
Ngem ketdi ibagayo koma, “No pagayatan ti Apo, agbiagkaminto ket aramidenminto daytoy wenno dayta.”
16 But now you exult in your arrogance. All such exultation is wicked.
Ngem ita ipaspasindayagyo ti maipapan kadagiti panggepyo. Amin a kasta a panagpaspasindayag ket dakes.
17 Therefore, he who knows that he ought to do a good thing, and does not do it, for him it is a sin.
Ngarud, kenkuana a makaammo nga agaramid iti nasayaat ngem saanna nga ar-aramiden daytoy, basol kenkuana daytoy.
