James 4
1 Wherof ben batelis and cheestis among you? Whether not of youre coueitisis, that fiyten in youre membris?
第四項 惡慾及び種々の缺點に對する意見。 汝等の中に於る軍と争とは何處よりか來れる、汝等が五體の中に戰へる其慾よりに非ずや。
2 Ye coueiten, and ye han not; ye sleen, and ye han enuye, and ye moun not gete. Ye chiden, and maken batel; and ye han not, for ye axen not.
汝等が貪りて得ず、殺し妬みて取る事能はず、争ひ戰ひて得る事なきは願はざるが故なり。
3 Ye axen, and ye resseyuen not; for that ye axen yuele, as ye schewen opynli in youre coueitisis.
願ひて受けざるは、慾の為に費さんとして惡く願ふが故なり。
4 Auowtreris, witen not ye, that the frenschip of this world is enemye to God? Therfor who euere wole be frend of this world, is maad the enemye of God.
姦淫者よ、此世に對する愛情は神の仇となるを知らずや、然れば誰にもあれ、此世の友たらんとする人は皆神の仇となる。
5 Whether ye gessen, that the scripture seith veynli, The spirit that dwellith in you, coueitith to enuye?
汝等聖書の云へる事を徒なりと思ふか、神は汝等に宿らせ給ひし霊を妬むまでに望み給ふ、
6 But he yyueth the more grace; for which thing he seith, God withstondith proude men, but to meke men he yyueth grace.
尚大いなる恩寵を賜へばこそ、「神は傲慢なる者に逆らひ、謙遜なる者に恩寵を賜ふ」とは云へるなれ。
7 Therfor be ye suget to God; but withstonde ye the deuel, and he schal fle fro you.
此故に汝等神に歸服して惡魔に逆らへ、然らば惡魔は汝等より退くべし。
8 Neiye ye to God, and he schal neiye to you. Ye synneris, clense ye hondis, and ye double in soule, purge ye the hertis.
神に近づき奉れ、然らば神は汝等に近づき給はん。罪人よ、手を潔めよ、二心の者よ、心を清らかにせよ。
9 Be ye wretchis, and weile ye; youre leiyyng be turned in to weping, and ioye in to sorewe of herte.
痛悔して歎き且泣け、汝等の笑は歎となり、汝等の喜は悲と成れ、
10 Be ye mekid in the siyt of the Lord, and he schal enhaunse you.
主の御前に謙れ、然らば主汝等を高め給はん。
11 My britheren, nyle ye bacbite ech othere. He that bacbitith his brothir, ethir that demeth his brothir, bacbitith the lawe, and demeth the lawe. And if thou demest the lawe, thou art not a doere of the lawe, but a domesman.
兄弟等よ、相譏る事勿れ、兄弟を譏る者或は兄弟を是非するものは、律法を譏り律法を是非する者なり。若律法を是非せば、是律法の履行者に非ずして、其審判者たるなり。
12 But oon is makere of the lawe, and iuge, that may lese, and delyuere.
抑救ひ得べく亡ぼし得べき立法者審判者は唯一にて在す、
13 And who art thou, that demest thi neiybore? Lo! now ye, that seien, To dai ethir to morewe we schulen go in to thilke citee, and there we schulen dwelle a yeer, and we schulen make marchaundise, and we schulen make wynning;
然るに汝誰なれば近き者をば是非するぞ。然て今、我等今日明日何某の町に往き、一年の間其處に留り、商売して利を得んと言ふ者よ、
14 whiche witen not, what is to you in the morewe.
汝等は明日何事のあるべきかを知らざるに非ずや。
15 For what is youre lijf? A smoke apperinge at a litil, and aftirward it schal be wastid. Therfor that ye seie, If the Lord wole, and if we liuen, we schulen do this thing, ether that thing.
蓋汝等の生命は何ぞや、暫く見ゆる靄にして、終には消失するものなり。汝等宜しく之に代へて、我等若主の思召ならば又は生くるならば、此彼を為さんと言ふべし。
16 And now ye maken ful out ioye in youre pridis; euery siche ioye is wickyd.
然るに汝等は今驕りて自ら誇れり、斯の如き誇は総て惡事なり。
17 Therfor it is synne to hym, that kan do good, and doith not.
故に人、善の行ふべきを知りて之を行はざれば罪と成るなり。
