James 4

1 Where do the conflicts and quarrels that go on among you come from? Do they not come from your passions which are always making war among your bodily 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 You continually crave and do not obtain; you are killing and coveting and cannot acquire; you are fighting and at war. You do not have, because you do not ask.

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 You continue to ask and do not receive, because you are asking with a wrong purpose, in order to spend it upon 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 You adulteresses, do you not know that the friendship of the world is enmity to God? Whoever, then, desires to be a friend of the world, makes himself and enemy 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 Or do you suppose that it is in vain that the Scripture says, "The spirit which has its home in us yearns over us unto jealousy?"

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 he gives more and more grace. therefore it is said, God ever resists the proud; but to the humble he gives grace continually.

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 So then ever be subject to God, Ever resist the devil and he will flee from you.

Ke gone ineeleng mo Modimong ka boingotlo. Tlhabanang le diabolo mme o tlaa lo tshaba.

8 Draw near to God And he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners, And purify your hearts, you 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 Lament and mourn, and weep aloud! Let your laughter be turned into mourning, And your joy into gloom!

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 Humble yourselves before the Lord, And he will raise you up.

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 Do not be talking against each other, brothers. He who is talking against a brother and condemning his brothers is talking against the Law and condemning the Law. But if you are condemning the Law, you are not a doer of the Law, but a judge.

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 But One is your Lawgiver and Judge - he who is able to save and to destroy. But you, who are you, to be condemning your neighbor?

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 Go to now, you who say, "Today or tomorrow we shall journey to such a city and spend a year there, and trade and make money,"

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 when all the time you do not know what will happen on the morrow. For what is your life? You are but a mist, appearing for a brief time, and then vanishing.

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 You ought instead to say, "If the Lord wills it, we shall live and do 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 you are glorying in these insolent boastings of yours; all such glorying is evil.

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 So to him who knows how to do right and does not do it, to him it is sin.

Gakologelwang gape gore, go itse se se molemo se se tshwanetseng go dirwa, mme se bo se sa dirwe, ke boleo.
