< James 4 >

1 Where do the fights and quarrels you're having come from? Aren't they due to the sensual passions that are in conflict within you?
Nweri kabung nin diru yinnu nin nati ku nanya mine? na kudin fitizu nan nya mine unucu nlip nibinai ni nanzang na udin su likum nan nya mine ba, linuwa anan yinnu nin kutellẹ ba?
2 You burn with desire, but don't get what you want. You kill for what you lust after, but don't get what you're looking for. You argue and you fight, but you don't get anything, because you don't pray for it.
Idin nlip nimon ille na idumun ba, idin molsu ikuru ipizira imon ile na i wasa ise ba. Idin su nnun.
3 You pray, but don't receive anything, because you ask with a wrong motive, wanting to spend what you'd receive on your selfish pleasures.
Isu kabung ku, vat nani na isebabura na itirino kutellẹ ba. Idin tiru a na i sare ba, bara idin ntiru imon inanzang, inan moluso libau nsu nibinai mine.
4 You adulterous people! Don't you realize that friendship with the world is hatred towards God? Those who want to be friends of the world make themselves enemies of God.
Anung anam zina! akilaki, Na iyiru nwoni lidondong nin yih ulele nshinari nin kutellẹ ba? Bara nani ulle na ayinna asu lidondon nin yih a durso litime unan shina Kutellẹ.
5 Do you think Scripture doesn't mean what it says: that the spirit that he put in us is very jealous?
Sa idin cissu uliru Kutellẹ naso lem na unaworo uruhu Kutellẹ na ina ti nan nyo bite ukulun nin lip liyarin na?
6 But God gives us even more grace, as Scripture says: “God is against those who are arrogant, but gives grace to those who are humble.”
Nan nya nani Kutellẹ na nani ubolu me gbardang, bara na uliru Kutellẹ na woro, “Kutellẹ nari anan tikunang liti, ana niza ubelu me kiti nale na itoltuno uti mine”.
7 So place yourself under God's direction. Confront the devil, and he will run away from you.
Bara nani, nan ati mine kiti Kutellẹ, taan shakk nin nshaitan, a nan nya pit nan ghinu.
8 Come close to God and he will come close to you. Wash your hands, you sinners. Purify your way of thinking, you people with divided loyalties.
Dan susut nin Kutellẹ, amac wang ma daksusul nan ghinu, kusun achare mine lau anung anan nalapi, wesen nibincu mine, anung anan nibinayi nibaba.
9 Show some remorse, cry and weep! Turn your laughter into mourning, and your joy to sadness.
Sun liburi lisirne a tiyom nin kuculu. Kpilliyan tisina mine ti tinana nayi, so ulanzun nmang mine lawa liburi lisirne.
10 Be humble before the Lord and he will lift you up.
Toltunon atimine nbun Ncikilari Ame ma ghantin minu.
11 Friends, don't speak badly of one another. Anyone who criticizes a fellow-believer and condemns them, criticizes and condemns the law. If you condemn the law you're not someone who keeps the law, because you're sitting in judgment of it.
Na iwansu kubellum natimine ba, linuana, unit ulle na asu kubellum ngwana sa ushariya ngwana, adin su ushara nan nyan nshara Kutellẹ. Asa usu uduka ushara fe wang na una dortu nsharawere ba, fe nso sharan nin nari.
12 There's only one lawgiver and judge—the one who can either save or destroy you—so who are you to judge your neighbor?
Unit urumari cas unan nizun duka nin shariyawe, ame Kutellẹ, ulle na amere wasa asu utucu nin molsu, fe ghari, unan su ndọ lissan fe ushara?
13 Come on now!—you people who say, “Either today or tomorrow we'll go to such-and-such a city, spend a year in business there, and make a profit.”
Lanza fe ulle na udin bellu, “Kitimone sa udun kwoi tiba du nanya kipin, ti duru likus kikans, ti di su kujauna tise uriba”.
14 You have no idea what will happen tomorrow! What's your life like? It's just a mist that appears for a little while, and then is gone.
Ghari yiru imon ille na ina se ninkwui, iyaghari ulai mine? Idi nafo ulonna3i na sas unuzu nin kubiri bat umala kiti.
15 What you should say is, “If it's the Lord's will, we'll live like this and plan to do that.”
Bara nani mbara iworo nengbe “asa cikilari inyinna tiba yitu nin lai tisu ilenge sa ileli.
16 But right now you're caught up in your vain ideas. All this boasting is evil.
Nene idin fo figiri nin zkpilizu mine, vat ulle ufo figire unanzanghari.
17 For it is a sin if you know to do what's right but don't do it.
Bara nani kitin nle na ayiru usu nimon icine amini nari usue, kitime kulapiyari.
