James 4
1 From where [come] disputes and (from where *no*) quarrels among you? Surely from there, out of the passions of you those warring in the members of you?
Avy aiza ny ady, ary avy aiza ny fifandirana eo aminareo? Tsy izao va no ihaviany, dia ny filanareo izay miady ao anatin’ ny momba ny tenanareo?
2 You desire and not have; you kill and covet and not are able to obtain; You quarrel and wrangle; Not you have (now *k*) because not to ask you;
Mila ianareo, nefa tsy manana ihany; mamono sy mitsiriritra ianareo, nefa tsy mahazo ihany; mifanditra sy miady ianareo; tsy manana ianareo, satria tsy mangataka.
3 You ask and not receive, because wrongly you ask, that in the pleasures of you you may spend [it].
Mangataka ianareo, nefa tsy mahazo ihany, satria diso fangataka, mba holaninareo amin’ ny filanareo.
4 (adulterers — and *K*) Adulteresses! Surely you know that the friendship with the world hostility with God is? Who[ever] (maybe *N(k)O*) therefore shall choose a friend to be of the world, an enemy of God is appointed.
Ry mpisintaka mijangajanga, tsy fantatrareo va fa fandrafiana an’ Andriamanitra ny fisakaizana amin’ izao tontolo izao? Koa na iza na iza te-ho sakaizan’ izao tontolo izao, dia fahavalon’ Andriamanitra izy.
5 Or think you that in vain the Scripture speaks? With envy yearns the Spirit that (he settled *N(k)O*) in us,
Ary ataonareo va fa miteny foana ny Soratra Masìna? Ny fanahy, izay nampitoeriny ato anatintsika dia iriny amin’ ny fahasaro-piaro.
6 Greater however He gives grace; Therefore it says: God [the] proud opposes, to [the] humble however gives grace.
Nefa manome fahasoavana bebe kokoa Izy. Koa hoy izy: “Andriamanitra manohitra ny mpiavonavona, fa manome fahasoavana ho an’ ny manetry tena”.
7 do be subjected therefore to God. do resist (however *no*) the devil and he will flee from you,
Ka dia maneke an Andriamanitra ianareo; ary manohera ny devoly, dia handositra anareo izy.
8 do draw near to God and He will draw near to you. do cleanse [your] hands, [you] sinners, and do purify hearts, [you] double-minded.
Manatòna an’ Andriamanitra, dia hanatona anareo Izy. Diovy ny tananareo, ry mpanota; ary ataovy madio ny fonareo, ry mpiroa saina.
9 do be grieved and do mourn and do weep; The laughter of you to mourning (should be turned *N(k)O*) and the joy to gloom.
Oria, sy mitomania, ary midradradradrà; aoka hody fitomaniana ny fihomehezanareo, ary hody fanjoretana ny fifalianareo.
10 do be humbled in the presence of (the *ko*) Lord and He will exalt you.
Manetre tena eo anatrehan’ ny Tompo, dia hanandratra anareo Izy.
11 Not do speak against one another, brothers; The [one] speaking against [his] brother (or *N(k)O*) judging the brother of him speaks against [the] Law and judges [the] Law; If however [the] Law you judge, not you are a doer of [the] Law but a judge.
Aza mifanaratsy, ry rahalahy. Izay manaratsy rahalahy na mitsara ny rahalahiny dia manaratsy ny lalàna sy mitsara ny lalàna; fa raha mitsara ny lalàna ianao, dia tsy mpankatò ny lalàna, fa mpitsara.
12 One there is Lawgiver (and Judge *NO*) who is being able to save and to destroy; You yourself (however *no*) who are (you who [are] judging *N(k)O*) the (neighbour? *N(K)O*)
Iray ihany no Mpanome lalàna sy Mpitsara, dia Ilay mahavonjy sy mahavery; fa iza moa ianao, no mitsara ny namanao?
13 do come now you who [are] saying; Today (or *N(k)O*) tomorrow (we will go *N(k)O*) into such city and (will spend *N(k)O*) there a year (one *K*) and (will trade *N(k)O*) and (will make a profit; *N(k)O*)
He! ianareo izay manao hoe: Anio na ampitso dia hankany Ananona izahay ary hitoetra any herintaona ka hividy sy hivarotra ary hahazo tombom-barotra,
14 [you] who not you know what [is] on the next day [is] What [is] (for *ko*) the life of you! A vapor just (you are *N(K)(o)*) for a little [while] appearing then (and *k*) also vanishing;
kanefa tsy mahalala ny ho ampitso ianareo. Inona moa ny ainareo? Fa zavona ihany ianareo, izay miseho vetivety, dia levona.
15 Instead [ought] to say you; If the Lord (shall wish *NK(o)*) both (we will live *N(k)O*) and (we will do *N(k)O*) this or that.
Fa aleo manao izao: Raha sitrapon’ ny Tompo, ka velona izahay, dia hataonay izao na izany.
16 Now however you boast in the arrogance of you; All boasting such evil is.
Fa izao dia mirehareha amin’ ny fahasahianareo ianareo; ratsy ny fireharehana rehetra toy izany.
17 To [him] knowing therefore good to do and not doing [it], sin to him it is.
Koa izay mahalala hanao soa, nefa tsy manao, dia heloka ho azy izany.
