James 4
1 From whence are warres and contentions among you? are they not hence, euen of your pleasures, that fight in your members?
Otkuda ratovi i raspre meðu nama? Ne otuda li, od slasti vašijeh, koje se bore u vašijem udima?
2 Ye lust, and haue not: ye enuie, and desire immoderately, and cannot obtaine: ye fight and warre, and get nothing, because ye aske not.
Želite i nemate; ubijate i zavidite, i ne možete da dobijete; borite se i vojujete, i nemate, jer ne ištete.
3 Ye aske, and receiue not, because ye aske amisse, that ye might lay the same out on your pleasures.
Ištete, i ne primate, jer zlo ištete, da u slastima svojijem trošite.
4 Ye adulterers and adulteresses, knowe ye not that the amitie of the world is the enimitie of God? Whosoeuer therefore will be a friend of the world, maketh himselfe the enemie of God.
Preljuboèinci i preljuboèinice! ne znate li da je prijateljstvo ovoga svijeta neprijateljstvo Bogu? Jer koji hoæe svijetu prijatelj da bude, neprijatelj Božij postaje.
5 Doe ye thinke that the Scripture sayeth in vaine, The spirit that dwelleth in vs, lusteth after enuie?
Ili mislite da pismo uzalud govori: duh koji u nama živi mrzi na zavist?
6 But the Scripture offereth more grace, and therefore sayth, God resisteth the proude, and giueth grace to the humble.
A on daje veæu blagodat. Jer govori: Gospod suproti se ponositima, a poniženima daje blagodat.
7 Submit your selues to God: resist the deuill, and he will flee from you.
Pokorite se dakle Bogu, a protivite se ðavolu, i pobjeæi æe od vas.
8 Drawe neere to God, and he will drawe neere to you. Clense your handes, ye sinners, and purge your hearts, ye double minded.
Približite se k Bogu, i on æe se približiti k vama. Oèistite ruke, grješnici, popravite srca svoja, nepostojani.
9 Suffer afflictions, and sorrowe ye, and weepe: let your laughter be turned into mourning, and your ioy into heauinesse.
Budite žalosni i plaèite i jauèite: smijeh vaš neka se pretvori u plaè, i radost u žalost.
10 Cast downe your selues before the Lord, and he will lift you vp.
Ponizite se pred Gospodom, i podignuæe vas.
11 Speake not euill one of another, brethren. He that speaketh euill of his brother, or he that condemneth his brother, speaketh euill of ye Law, and condemneth the Lawe: and if thou condemnest the Lawe, thou art not an obseruer of the Lawe, but a iudge.
Ne opadajte jedan drugoga, braæo; jer ko opada brata ili osuðuje brata svojega opada zakon i osuðuje zakon, a ako zakon osuðuješ, nijesi tvorac zakona, nego sudija.
12 There is one Lawgiuer, which is able to saue, and to destroy. Who art thou that iudgest another man?
Jedan je zakonodavac i sudija, koji može spasti i pogubiti; a ti ko si što drugoga osuðuješ?
13 Goe to now ye that say, To day or to morowe we will goe into such a citie, and continue there a yeere, and bye and sell, and get gaine,
Slušajte sad vi koji govorite: danas ili sjutra poæi æemo u ovaj ili onaj grad, i sjediæemo ondje jednu godinu, i trgovaæemo i dobijaæemo.
14 (And yet ye cannot tell what shalbe to morowe. For what is your life? It is euen a vapour that appeareth for a litle time, and afterward vanisheth away)
Vi koji ne znate šta æe biti sjutra. Jer šta je vaš život? On je para, koja se za malo pokaže, a potom je nestane.
15 For that ye ought to say, If the Lord will, and, if we liue, we will doe this or that.
Mjesto da govorite: ako Gospod htjedbude, i živi budemo, uèiniæemo ovo ili ono.
16 But now ye reioyce in your boastings: all such reioycing is euill.
A sad se hvalite svojijem ponosom. Svaka je hvala takova zla.
17 Therefore, to him that knoweth how to doe well, and doeth it not, to him it is sinne.
Jer koji zna dobro èiniti i ne èini, grijeh mu je.
