Yaƙub 4
1 Me ke kawo gaba da rashin jituwa a tsakanin ku? Ba yana tasowa ne daga muguwar sha'awa da ke yaki a cikin ku ba?
Where do conflicts and quarrels among you come from? Do they not come from your passions that war in your members?
2 Kuna sha'awa, kuma ba ku da shi. Kuna kisa da kyashi, kuma ba za ku iya samu ba. Kuna danbe da fada. Har wa yau baku samu ba domin baku tambaya ba.
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.
3 Kun roka kuma ba a baku ba saboda kuna roko ta hanya mara kyau, kuna so ku yi amfani da shi domin miyagun sha'awoyin ku.
You ask, and do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, so that you may spend it for your pleasures.
4 Ku mazinata! Baku sani ba, abokantaka da duniya, tawaye ne ga Allah? Don haka duk wanda ya shiga abokantaka da duniya ya zama magabcin Allah.
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.
5 Ko kuna zaton nassi ya fadi haka a banza ne, “Ruhun nan da ke a cikinmu yana da kishi matuka?”
Or do you think that the Scripture says in vain, "The Spirit which he made to dwell in us yearns jealously"?
6 Amma Allah ya bayar da karin alheri, shi ya sa nassi ya ce, “Allah yana gaba da mai girman kai, Amma yana ba da alheri ga mai tawaliu.”
But he gives more grace. Therefore it says, God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble.
7 Saboda haka ku mika kan ku ga Allah. Ku yi tsayayya da shaidan, zai kuma guje maku.
Be subject therefore to God. But resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
8 Ku matso kusa da Allah, shi kuma za ya matsa kusa da ku. Wanke hannayen ku, ku masu zunubi, ku tsabtace zukatan ku, ku masu zuciya biyu.
Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded.
9 Ku yi bakin ciki, makoki, da kuka! Ku mayar da dariyar ku ta koma bakin ciki, farin cikinku kuma zuwa ga bakin ciki.
Lament, mourn, and weep. Let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to gloom.
10 Ku kaskantar da kanku a gaban Ubangiji, shi kuma za ya daukaka ku.
Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he will exalt you.
11 Kada ku rika zargin juna, 'yan'uwa. Wanda ya ke zargin dan'uwa ko shari'anta dan'uwansa, yana zargin shari'a kuma yana hukunta shari'a. Idan ka hukunta shari'a, ya nuna ba ka biyayya da shari'ar, amma mai hukunci.
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.
12 Mai ba da shari'a da yin hukunci daya ne. Shine mai iya ceto kuma ya hallakar. Kai wanene, da ke hukunta makwafcin ka?
Only one is the lawgiver and judge, who is able to save and to destroy. But who are you to judge your neighbor?
13 Saurara, ku da kuke cewa, “Yau ko gobe za mu tafi wancan birnin mu yi shekara guda a wurin, muna kasuwanci, mu kuma yi riba.”
Come now, you who say, "Today or tomorrow let us go into this city, and spend a year there, trade, and make a profit."
14 Wa ya san abin da zai faru gobe, kuma yaya rayuwan ka zai kasance? Kai kamar hazo ne mai bayyana bayan dan lokaci kadan ya bace.
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.
15 Maimakon haka, sai ka ce, “Idan Ubangiji ya nufa, za mu rayu kuma mu yi wannan ko wancan.”
For you ought to say, "If the Lord wills, we will both live, and do this or that."
16 Amma yanzu kana fahariya da shirye shiryen ka na takama. Irin wannan fahariya, mugunta ce.
But now you glory in your boasting. All such boasting is evil.
17 Saboda haka ga wanda ya san abin da ya kamata ya aikata amma bai yi ba, ya zama zunubi a gare shi.
To him therefore who knows to do good, and does not do it, to him it is sin.
