< James 4 >

1 From where [are] wars and fightings among you? [Is it] not from here, out of your passions warring in your members?
Nonugv aralo dvngmi sinam okv yamisinam mvnwng ngv ogolokv aadunv? Vv bunu hvriokpajaknam lvgabv nonugv haapok ara ngv mvngjimvngro nam lokv aadunv, vv nonugv aralo yalung bv pabvribv minsu modunv.
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;
Nonuno ogu ogugo mvngdu, vbvrijvka nonuno um paala madu, vkvlvgabv nonuno mimilami siduku bv mvngduku; Nonu achialvbv oguogu lvgabv mvngbiudo, vbvrijvka nonu um paala madu, vkvlvgabv nonuno yamisila okv yalung gobv ridu. Nonuno ogugo um jvdv mvngdudw um paala madunv vv ogulvgavbolo nonu um paarung nvpv mvngla Pwknvyarnv gvlo koomadu.
3 you ask, and you do not receive, because you ask badly, that you may spend [it] in your pleasures.
Okv vdwlo no kooredw, um no paamadu, ogulvgavbolo noogv mvngnam saknam hv alvmadu; Nonu ogu ogua atubogv hvriokpajaknam lvga mvngchikbv koodu.
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.
Mvngjwng manv nyi vdw! nyiamooku gv ajin bv ridunv vv Pwknvyarnv gv nyiru nam nyimakv vnama nonuno chima lare? Nonuno nyiamooku gv ajin bv rinwng dubolo nonuno atubongv Pwknvyarnv gv nyimak bv mvsu dunv.
5 Or, do you think that the Writing says emptily, “The Spirit that has dwelt in us yearns with envy,”
Darwknv kitap lo, “Pwknvyarnv gv Dow am ngonu gvlo doolwk monam si maatar alvbv mvngbiu monvgo,” vla minam sum jvjv nvgobv nonuno mvngma dunvre.
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.”
Vbvritola Pwknvyarnv gv oogv jinam anyuaya ngv kaibv gwlwk yaya nvgo. Darwknv kitap lo vbv mindu, “Pwknvyarnv kaimvngsu nvnga nvngtor pvvdu, vbvritola anyuaya am rvnyak la rinv nga jidu.”
7 Be subject, then, to God; stand up against the Devil, and he will flee from you;
Vkvlvgabv, Pwknvyarnv gvlo tulwk sutoka. Uyudvbv nga chartoka, okv hv nokv gvlo gvngv kelin riku.
8 draw near to God, and He will draw near to you; cleanse hands, you sinners! And purify hearts, you split-souled!
Pwknvyarnv gv nvchilo aanwk tvka okv Pwknvyarnv ka nonugv nvchilo aanwkre. Rimurnv vdwno, nonugv laak am lasuk tokuka! aolo kaaku mvngchik dubv rinv, nonu vdwgv haapok am darwk mooto kuka!
9 Be exceedingly afflicted, and mourn, and weep, let your laughter be turned to mourning, and the joy to heaviness;
Mvngdwk tokuka, kapto kulaka, okv nyiksinyikla biito kulaka; nonugv nyarminsomin nama kapnam lo lvkmi sitoka, nonugv mvngpua mvngru lo lvktoka!
10 be made low before the LORD, and He will exalt you.
Nonu atubongv Ahtu gv kaagialo rvnyak tolaka, okv Pwknvyarnv nonua kai more.
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.
Ngoogv ajin vdw, ajin anyingnga minjimio mabvka. Nonu kvvbi mvngjwngnv ajin am minjimiyo jila vbvmajvka, jwngkadaka jila ribolo, vv nonuno Pvbv nga minjimiyo jila okv jwngkadaka jila ridu. Nonuno Pvbv nga jwngkadaka la ribolo, vbvrikubolo nonuno Pvbv gv mingku lo vdwloka tvvnvgobv rimare vbvritola, um jwngkadaka yanv akobv ridu.
12 One is the lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy; you—who are you that judges the other?
Pwknvyarnv mvngchik Pvbv jinv ngv okv Jwngkadaka jinv ngv. Hv akin mvngchik ringla dunv okv mvyakmvchak laka rila dunv ngv. Nonuno ogunvbv mvngsu dunv, kvvbi am jwngkadaka yajinvngv?
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,”
Vjak ngam tvvgap tvka, “Silu majvka aarunyi ngonu pamtv gulo mooying vngre, hoka ngonu anying nyinggo doore okv kurvpachu lo rila okv morko ain lo achialvgo pwkarpaakar dubv rire,” vla minv nonu.
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;
Nonugv singtungritung ngv aarunyi ogunvbv riyikudw um nonuno chinsuma! nonuno aapumtalum gv mwkwmwa aingbv ridu, vjv lvgabv kaapa la ridu okv vbvripikula nyenam bv nyelaku kaapa kumare.
15 instead, you [ought] to say, “If the LORD may will, we will live, and do this or that”;
Nonugv minrung svngv si: “Ahtu mvnggi bolo, ngonu turricho okv sum vmajvka um ridubv rire.”
16 but now you glory in your pride; all such glorying is evil;
Vbvritola nonuno kaimvngsudu, okv goolinguadu; vbv goolingua nam dvdv ngv rigakpanam vrung.
17 to him, then, knowing to do good, and not doing [it], it is sin to him.
Vbvrikunamv, ngonu vbv alvnv kudungkua risv nga chirung lvjv tvlaka um rimabv ridubolo, vv ngonu rigakpala rimurdu.
