James 4
1 From where [are] wars and fightings among you? [Is it] not from here, out of your passions warring in your members?
Me yake jawo faɗace-faɗace da gardandami a tsakaninku? Ashe, ba sha’awace-sha’awacenku da suke yaƙi a zukatanku ba ne?
2 You desire, and do not have, [so] you murder; and you are zealous, and are not able to attain, [so] you fight and war; and you do not have, because of your not asking;
Kukan nemi abu ku rasa, sai ku yi kisa da ƙyashi. In kuka rasa abin da kuke nema sai ku shiga yin gardama da faɗa. Kukan rasa ne, domin ba ku roƙi Allah ba.
3 you ask, and you do not receive, because you ask badly, that you may spend [it] in your pleasures.
Sa’ad da kuka roƙa, ba kwa samu, don kun roƙa da mugun nufi, don ku kashe abin da kuka samu a kan sha’awace-sha’awacenku.
4 Adulterers and adulteresses! Have you not known that friendship of the world is enmity with God? Whoever, then, may intend to be a friend of the world, he is designated [as] an enemy of God.
Ku mazinata, ba ku san cewa abokantaka da duniya gāba ce da Allah ba? Duk wanda ya zaɓa yă zama abokin duniya ya zama abokin gāban Allah ke nan.
5 Or, do you think that the Writing says emptily, “The Spirit that has dwelt in us yearns with envy,”
Ko kuna tsammani a banza ne Nassi ya ce ruhun da ya sa yă zauna a cikinmu yana kishi sosai?
6 but [God] gives greater grace, for this reason it says, “God sets Himself up against proud ones, and He gives grace to lowly ones.”
Amma yakan ba mu alheri a yalwace. Shi ya sa Nassi ya ce, “Allah yana gāba da masu girman kai amma yakan ba da alheri ga masu tawali’u.”
7 Be subject, then, to God; stand up against the Devil, and he will flee from you;
Saboda haka, ku miƙa kanku ga Allah. Ku yi tsayayya da Iblis, zai kuwa guje ku.
8 draw near to God, and He will draw near to you; cleanse hands, you sinners! And purify hearts, you split-souled!
Ku matso kusa da Allah shi kuwa zai matso kusa da ku. Ku wanke hannuwanku, ku masu zunubi, ku kuma tsarkake zukatanku, ku masu zuciya biyu.
9 Be exceedingly afflicted, and mourn, and weep, let your laughter be turned to mourning, and the joy to heaviness;
Ku yi baƙin ciki, ku yi makoki ku kuma yi kuka. Ku mai da dariyarku ta zama makoki, farin cikinku kuma yă zama ɓacin zuciya.
10 be made low before the LORD, and He will exalt you.
Ku ƙasƙantar da kanku a gaban Ubangiji, zai kuwa ɗaukaka ku.
11 Do not speak against one another, brothers; he who is speaking against a brother, and is judging his brother, speaks against law, and judges law, and if you judge law, you are not a doer of law but a judge.
’Yan’uwa, kada ku ɓata wa juna suna. Duk wanda ya zargi ɗan’uwansa ko ya ɗora masa laifi, yana gāba da doka ne yana kuma yin mata shari’a ke nan. In kuwa ka ɗora wa shari’a laifi, kai ba mai binta ba ne, mai ɗora mata laifi ne.
12 One is the lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy; you—who are you that judges the other?
Akwai Mai ba da doka da kuma Alƙali guda ɗaya tak, shi ne yake da ikon ceto da kuma hallakarwa. Amma kai, wane ne da za ka hukunta maƙwabcinka?
13 Go, now, you who are saying, “Today and tomorrow we will go on to such a city, and will pass there one year, and traffic, and make gain,”
Yanzu fa sai ku saurara, ku da kuke cewa, “Yau ko gobe za mu je wannan ko wancan birni, mu yi shekara a can, mu yi kasuwanci, mu ci riba.”
14 who does not know the thing of tomorrow; for what is your life? For it is a vapor that is appearing for a little [while], and then is vanishing;
Alhali kuwa ba ku ma san abin da zai faru gobe ba. Wane iri ne ranku? Ku kamar hazo ne da yake bayyana na ɗan lokaci sa’an nan yă ɓace.
15 instead, you [ought] to say, “If the LORD may will, we will live, and do this or that”;
A maimakon haka, ya kamata ku ce, “In Ubangiji ya yarda, muna kuma a raye, za mu yi wannan ko wancan.”
16 but now you glory in your pride; all such glorying is evil;
Ga shi, kuna fariya da taƙama. Duk irin wannan taƙama mugun abu ne.
17 to him, then, knowing to do good, and not doing [it], it is sin to him.
Saboda haka, duk wanda ya san abu mai kyan da ya kamata yă yi, bai kuwa yi ba, ya yi zunubi ke nan.
