James 4
1 From whence are warres and contentions among you? are they not hence, euen of your pleasures, that fight in your members?
Se se dirang dikomano le dintwa mo gare ga lona ke eng? A ga se ka ntlha ya dikeletso tse di bosula tse di lwang mo ditokololong tsa lona.
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.
Lo batla se lo senang naso, jalo lo a bolaya go nna naso. Lo eletsa se ba bangwe ba nang naso, mme ga lo kgone go nna naso, jalo lo simolola ntwa go se tsaya mo go bone. Mme le fa go ntse jalo lebaka la gore lo seka lwa nna le se lo se batlang ke ka ntlha ya gore ga lo se kope mo Modimong.
3 Ye aske, and receiue not, because ye aske amisse, that ye might lay the same out on your pleasures.
Mme le fa lo kopa ga lo se fiwe gonne maikaelelo otlhe a lona ga a a siama, lo batla fela se se tlaa lo nayang boitumelo.
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.
Lo tshwana le mosadi yo o nyetsweng yo o sa ikanyegeng yo o ratang baba ba monna wa gagwe. A ga lo lemoge gore go nna botsalano le baba ba Modimo, ebong dithato tse di bosula tsa lefatshe leno, go lo dira baba ba Modimo? Ke bua gape ka re fa maikaelelo a lona e le go itumela mo dithatong tse di bosula tsa lefatshe leno, le le sa bolokwang, ga lo kake gape lwa nna ditsala tsa Modimo.
5 Doe ye thinke that the Scripture sayeth in vaine, The spirit that dwelleth in vs, lusteth after enuie?
Kgotsa lo akanya gore lokwalo lo raya eng fa lo re Mowa O O Boitshepo, o Modimo o o agisitseng mo go rona, o re disitse ka lefufa le le bonolo.
6 But the Scripture offereth more grace, and therefore sayth, God resisteth the proude, and giueth grace to the humble.
Mme o re naya nonofo ya go tlhabana le dikeletso tsotlhe tse di bosula tse di ntseng jaana. Jaaka Lokwalo lo re, Modimo o naya ba ba ingotlang nonofo, mme o kgatlhanong le ba ba ikgodisang le ba ba mabela.
7 Submit your selues to God: resist the deuill, and he will flee from you.
Ke gone ineeleng mo Modimong ka boingotlo. Tlhabanang le diabolo mme o tlaa lo tshaba.
8 Drawe neere to God, and he will drawe neere to you. Clense your handes, ye sinners, and purge your hearts, ye double minded.
Mme fa lo atamela mo Modimong, le One o tlaa lo atamela. Tlhapang diatla tsa lona, baleofi ke lona lo bo lo letle dipelo tsa lona di tlale ka Modimo fela go di ntlafatsa le gore di ikanyege mo go One.
9 Suffer afflictions, and sorrowe ye, and weepe: let your laughter be turned into mourning, and your ioy into heauinesse.
Hutsafalang lo lele ka ntlha ya dilo tse di sa siamang tse lo di dirileng. A go nne boikotlhao le bohutsana jwa boammaaruri. A go nne bohutsana mo boemong jwa setshego, le go sa itumeleng mo boemong jwa boitumelo.
10 Cast downe your selues before the Lord, and he will lift you vp.
Ke gone e tlaa reng fa lo ikutlwa lo se ba sepe fa pele ga Morena, o tlaa lo tsholeletsa kwa godimo a lo kgothatsa a bo a lo thusa.
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.
Se tshwaaneng diphoso lwa ba lwa buana bosula bakaulengwe ba ba rategang. Fa lo dira jalo, lo tlaa bo lo tlhabana le molao wa Modimo o o reng lo ratane, lo o supa o sa siama. Mme tiro ya lona ga se go akanya gore a molao o o siame kgotsa ga o a siama, fa e se go o obamela fela.
12 There is one Lawgiuer, which is able to saue, and to destroy. Who art thou that iudgest another man?
Yo o dirileng molao ke ene fela a ka atlholang sentle mo gare ga rona. Ke ene fela o ka atlholang go re boloka kgotsa go re nyeletsa. Jalo lo na le tshwanelo efe go sekisa kgotsa go bona ba bangwe diphoso?
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,
Bonang, lona batho ba lo reng, “Gompieno kgotsa ka moso re tlaa ya kwa motsing wa bolebe, re nna teng koo ngwaga, mme re simolole teng madirelo a papadi.”
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)
Lo itse jang se se tlaa lo diragalelang ka moso? Gonne boleele jwa matshelo a lona ga bo tlhomamisege fela jaaka mouwane wa mo mosong, o bonala jaanong jaana; mme e re ka lobakanyana o bo o nyeletse.
15 For that ye ought to say, If the Lord will, and, if we liue, we will doe this or that.
Se lo tshwanetseng go se bua ke se, “Fa Morena a rata, re tlaa tshela re bo re dira se kgotsa sele.”
16 But now ye reioyce in your boastings: all such reioycing is euill.
E seng jalo lo tlaa bo lo ikgantsha ka maano a e leng a lona, mme go itshepa mo go ntseng jaana ga go itumedise Modimo.
17 Therefore, to him that knoweth how to doe well, and doeth it not, to him it is sinne.
Gakologelwang gape gore, go itse se se molemo se se tshwanetseng go dirwa, mme se bo se sa dirwe, ke boleo.
