Yaqobeppe 4
1 Inte garsan diza oolaynne ooshay awape yidee? Inte wozinan diza amotethafe dendida oola gidenee?
Where do wars and fightings among you come from? Do not they come from your pleasures that war in your members?
2 Inte amottista shin demekista. Inte asi wodhistanne kehi amotista shin demana danda7ekista. Inte inte garisan ooyetiza gishanne ooletiza gish qasse wosontta gish intes imettena.
You lust, and do not have. You murder and covet, and cannot obtain. You fight and make war. You do not have, because you do not ask.
3 Inte inte asho ufaysanaas iitta qofan wosiza gish wosidaysa inte ekekista.
You ask, and do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, so that you may spend it on your pleasures.
4 Inteno laymatizayto alamera siiqetethi Xoossara morketeth gididaysa ereketii? Hessa gish hayssa alamezara siiqitethi koyzay wurikka Xoossas morke.
You adulterers and adulteresses, do not you know that friendship with the world is hostility toward God? Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.
5 Woykko gesha maxaafa gidon “nunan izi ayssiida ayanay nu ziaysa gidana mala daro amottees” gizaysi intes coo mela gidayssa milatize?
Or do you think that the Scripture says in vain, “The Spirit who lives in us yearns jealously”?
6 Gido attin izi ba kiiyateth nuus gujji immees. Maxafaykka “Xoossi ootoranchatara eqettees, ashikistas qase ba kiiyateth immees” giday hessasikko.
But he gives more grace. Therefore it says, “God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble.”
7 Hessa gish intena Xoossas harisiite. Dabuloosara eqitite, izi intefe baqatana.
Be subject therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
8 Xoossako shiiqqite izikka intekko shiiqqana. Inteno nagaranchato! inte inte kushe geeshshite, inte nam77u qofan qaxiizayto, inte inte wozina geeshshite.
Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners. Purify your hearts, you double-minded.
9 Darsi qoppite; muyagiite; yekiite. Inte michay yehon; ufaysay qasse qadhetethan siimo.
Lament, mourn, and weep. Let your laughter be turned to mourning and your joy to gloom.
10 Goda sinththan inte intena kawushite qasse izi intena dhooqu dhooqu histtana.
Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he will exalt you.
11 Ta ishato inte inte garisan issay issay motoopite ba isha motizadeynne ba isha bolla piridizadey woga bolla iitta hasa7esinne woga bolla piridees. Ne woga bolla pirdizade attin woga naagizade gidakka.
Do not speak against one another, brothers. He who speaks against a brother and 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.
12 Woga wothidadeynne pirdizadey issade xalalakko. Izikka dhaysanaasinne ashanaas danda7izadekko. Gido attin neni ne lagge bolla pirdizadey oone?
Only one is the lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy. But who are you to judge another?
13 Inte hachchchi woykko wontto hano ha katamayo woykko hiino he katamayo nu baana, biidi hen izin issi laythth utananne zal77i wodhisana gizayto ane haa siyte.
Come now, you who say, “Today or tomorrow let’s go into this city and spend a year there, trade, and make a profit.”
14 Wonto hananayssa inte erekista. Inte shemppoy iza azee? Inteni guutha wode ayfes bettidi dhayiza haththa penta malakko.
Yet you do not know what your life will be like tomorrow. For what is your life? For you are a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away.
15 Hassa gaanappe “Goda shene gidikonne nu paxxa dikko, hessakka hayssaka oothana” gaanas intes bessees.
For you ought to say, “If the Lord wills, we will both live, and do this or that.”
16 Ha7i gidiko inte otoretethan ceqetista. Hessa mala oothoretethi wurikka iitta.
But now you glory in your boasting. All such boasting is evil.
17 Hessa gish loo7o gidizayssa oothanas besizaysa erishe oothonttades nagara gidana.
To him therefore who knows to do good and does not do it, to him it is sin.
