James 4
1 Where do quarrels and disputes among you come from? Do they not come from your desires that fight among your members?
NOHEA mai la na kaua a me na hakaka ana iwaena o oukou? Aole anei no na kuko o oukou e kaua ana iloko o ko oukou mau lala?
2 You desire, and you do not have. You kill and covet, and you are not able to obtain. You fight and quarrel. You do not possess because you do not ask.
Ua kuko hoi oukou, aole i loaa; ua huahuwa ae la oukou me ka pepehi aku, aole e hiki ia oukou ke loaa mai; ua hakaka oukou me ke kaua aku, aole nae i loaa, no ko oukou noi ole aku:
3 You ask and do not receive because you ask badly, in order that you may use it for your desires.
Ke noi nei oukou, me ka loaa ole, no ka mea, ua noi pono ole oukou, i pau ai ia mea ma ko oukou mau kuko.
4 You adulteresses! Do you not know that friendship with the world is hostility against God? So whoever wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.
E na kane moe kolohe a me na wahine moe kolohe, aole anei oukou i ike, o ka hoolauna ana me ko ke ao nei, he ku e aku ia i ke Akua? O ka mea e makemake e hoolauna pu me ko ke ao nei, ua lilo ia i enemi no ke Akua.
5 Or do you think the scripture says in vain, “The Spirit he caused to live in us is deeply jealous”?
Ke manao nei anei oukou ua olelo wale mai ka palapala, Ua kuko no ka uhane e noho ana iloko o kakou me ka huahuwa?
6 But God gives more grace, so the scripture says, “God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble.”
Haawi mai la ia i ka lokomaikai mahuahua ae; no ia hoi, i mai la ia, Ku e aku la ke Akua i ka poe haaheo, a haawi mai la hoi i ka lokomaikai i ka poe hoohaahaa.
7 So submit to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
Nolaila, e hoolohe oukou i ke Akua; e pale aku hoi i ka diabolo, alaila e holo aku ia mai o oukou aku.
8 Come close to God, and he will come close to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded.
E hookokoke aku oukou i ke Akua, a e hookokoke mai kela ia oukou. E ka poe hewa, e hoomaemae i ko oukou mau lima, e huikala hoi i ko oukou mau naau, e ka poe naau lolelua.
9 Grieve, mourn, and cry! Let your laughter turn into sadness and your joy into gloom.
E ehaeha oukou, e u aku hoi me ka uwe; e hoolilo i ko oukou akaaka i uwe ana, a me ko oukou olioli i kaumaha.
10 Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up.
E hoohaahaa oukou ia oukou iho imua o ka Haku, a nana oukou e hookiekie ae.
11 Do not speak against one another, brothers. The person who speaks against a brother or judges his brother speaks against the law and judges the law. If you judge the law, you are not a doer of the law, but a judge.
E na hoahanau, mai olelo ino oukou i kekahi i kekahi. O ka mea e olelo ino aku no kona hoahanau, me ka hoohewa aku i kona hoahanau, oia ka i olelo ino aku no ke kanawai me ka hoohewa hoi i ke kanawai; ina oe i hoohewa aku i ke kanawai, aole loa oe i malama aku i ke kanawai, aka, ua lilo oe i mea kau kanawai.
12 Only one is the lawgiver and judge. He is the one who is able to save and to destroy. Who are you, you who judge your neighbor?
Hookahi no mea nana i haawi i ke kanawai, e hiki no ia ia ke hoola a me ka luku aku hoi. Owai la hoi oe e hoohewa aku nei ia hai?
13 Now listen, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go into this city, spend a year there, trade, and make a profit.”
E hele oukou, e ka poe e olelo ana, E hele makou i keia la paha, apopo paha i kahi kulanakauhale, a malaila makou e noho ai i hookahi makahiki, a e kuai aku, kuai mai, a e loaa ka waiwai;
14 Who knows what will happen tomorrow, and what is your life? For you are a mist that appears for a little while and then disappears.
Oiai aole oukou i ike i ka ka la apopo. No ka mea, heaha ko oukou ola? Kainoa he wahi mahu no ia, i pua iki ae, alaila nalo ae la.
15 Instead, you should say, “If the Lord wishes, we will live and do this or that.”
Eia ko oukou pono e olelo ae, Ina e makemake mai ka Haku, alaila o ola makou, a e hana i kela mea, i keia mea.
16 But now you are boasting about your arrogant plans. All such boasting is evil.
Ano la, ua lealea oukou i ko oukou kaena ana; a o ia lealea a pau ua hewa ia.
17 So for anyone who knows to do good but does not do it, for him it is sin.
Nolaila, o ka mea i ike i ka hana pono, aole nae i hana, he hewa no ia nona.
