Iakobo 4
1 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?
From whence [come] wars and fightings among you? [come they] not hence, [even] of your lusts that war in your members?
2 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:
Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not.
3 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.
Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume [it] upon your lusts.
4 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.
Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.
5 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?
Do ye think that the scripture saith in vain, The spirit that dwelleth in us lusteth to envy?
6 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.
But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble.
7 Nolaila, e hoolohe oukou i ke Akua; e pale aku hoi i ka diabolo, alaila e holo aku ia mai o oukou aku.
Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
8 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.
Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse [your] hands, [ye] sinners; and purify [your] hearts, [ye] double minded.
9 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.
Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and [your] joy to heaviness.
10 E hoohaahaa oukou ia oukou iho imua o ka Haku, a nana oukou e hookiekie ae.
Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.
11 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.
Speak not evil one of another, brethren. He that speaketh evil of [his] brother, and judgeth his brother, speaketh evil of the law, and judgeth the law: but if thou judge the law, thou art not a doer of the law, but a judge.
12 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?
There is one lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy: who art thou that judgest another?
13 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;
Go to now, ye that say, To day or to morrow we will go into such a city, and continue there a year, and buy and sell, and get gain:
14 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.
Whereas ye know not what [shall be] on the morrow. For what [is] your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away.
15 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.
For that ye [ought] to say, If the Lord will, we shall live, and do this, or that.
16 Ano la, ua lealea oukou i ko oukou kaena ana; a o ia lealea a pau ua hewa ia.
But now ye rejoice in your boastings: all such rejoicing is evil.
17 Nolaila, o ka mea i ike i ka hana pono, aole nae i hana, he hewa no ia nona.
Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth [it] not, to him it is sin.
