James 4
1 Where do conflicts and quarrels among you come from? Do they not come from your passions that war in your members?
Ooshshinne oli hintte giddo awuppe yii? Entti yey hintte asatethaa haaranaw olettiya hintte asho amuwaappe gidenneyye?
2 You lust, and do not have. You kill, covet, and cannot obtain. You fight and make war. You do not have, because you do not ask.
Hintte amotteeta, shin demmeketa; hessa gisho, wodheeta. Minthi koyeeta, shin demmanaw dandda7ekketa; hessa gisho, ooyetteetanne oletteeta. Hintte Xoossaa woossonna gisho koyabaa demmeketa.
3 You ask, and do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, so that you may spend it for your pleasures.
Hintte woosseta, shin demmeketa. Hintte asho amuwaa polanaw wobbe ogen woossiya gisho demmeketa.
4 You adulterers and adulteresses, do you not know that friendship with the world is hostility toward God? Therefore whoever wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.
Hinttenoo, laymateyssato! Ha alamiya dosey Xoossara morkke gideyssa erekketii? Ha alamiyara dabbotanaw koyey oonikka Xoossaara morkke.
5 Or do you think that the Scripture says in vain, "The Spirit which he made to dwell in us yearns jealously"?
Geeshsha Maxaafay, “Xoossay nunan daana mela oothida Ayyaanay, nuuni iyaw buzo gidana mela amottees” gidayssa coo gidabaa daanii?
6 But he gives more grace. Therefore it says, God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble.
Shin Geeshsha Maxaafay, “Xoossay otoranchchota ixxees, shin banttana kawushsheyssatas maarotethaa immees” yaagiya gisho, Xoossay maarotethaa darssidi immees.
7 Be subject therefore to God. But resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
Hessa gisho, Xoossaas haarettite; Xalahiyara eqettite; I hinttefe haakkana.
8 Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded.
Xoossaakko shiiqite; I hintteko shiiqana. Hinttenoo, nagaranchchoto, hintte kushiya meecettite; nam77u qofi de7eyssato, hintte wozanaa geeshshite.
9 Lament, mourn, and weep. Let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to gloom.
Kayottite, yeekkitenne afuxite. Hintte miichchay yeehon, hintte ufayssay azzanon laameto.
10 Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he will exalt you.
Godaa sinthan hinttenatethaa kawushshite; hinttena dhoqqu dhoqqu oothana.
11 Do not speak against one another, brothers. He who speaks against a brother or judges his brother, speaks against the law and judges the law. But if you judge the law, you are not a doer of the law, but a judge.
Ta ishato, issoy issuwa zigiroppite. Ba ishaa zigireynne iya bolla pirddey higge zigireesinne higge bolla pirddees. Neeni higge bolla pirddiko higge bolla pirddeyssa gidaasappe attin higge poleyssa gidakka.
12 Only one is the lawgiver and judge, who is able to save and to destroy. But who are you to judge your neighbor?
Higge immeynne pirddey Xoossaa xalaala. Ashshanawunne dhayssanaw dandda7ey iya. Yaatin, ne asa bolla pirddey neeni oonee?
13 Come now, you who say, "Today or tomorrow let us go into this city, and spend a year there, trade, and make a profit."
Hintte, “Nuuni hachchi woykko wontto ya katamaa woykko ha katamaa baana; yan laythi uttana; zal77idi wodhisana” yaageyssato, si7ite.
14 Whereas you do not know what tomorrow will be like. What is your life? For you are a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away.
Wontto aybi hananeekko hintte erekketa. Hintte de7oy waananekko erey oonee? Hintte guutha wode benttidi dhayiya akka mela.
15 For you ought to say, "If the Lord wills, we will both live, and do this or that."
Hessa aggidi, “Goday giikko nuuni daana; hayssa woykko hessa oothana” yaaganaw bessees.
16 But now you glory in your boasting. All such boasting is evil.
Shin hintte ha77i otortteetanne ceeqetteeta. Hessa mela ceeqo ubbay iita.
17 To him therefore who knows to do good, and does not do it, to him it is sin.
Hessa gisho, lo77obaa oothanaw erishe oothonna uraas hessi nagara.
