Santiago 4
1 Sadino ti naggapuan iti panagaapa ken panagsisinnupiat kadakayo? Saan kadi a nagtaud daytoy kadagiti dakes a tarigagayyo nga agbibinnusor iti unegyo?
Whence come wars and strifes among you? Come they not hence, even of your passions, which war in your members?
2 Tartarigagayanyo ti awan kadakayo. Mangpataykayo ken kamkamatenyo ti saanyo a matagikua. Agaapa ken agriringgorkayo, ngem saanyo a magun-od gapu ta saankayo a dumawdawat iti Dios.
You desire, and you have not; you kill, and are earnestly desirous of having, and yet you can not obtain; you fight and war, and yet you have not, because you ask not.
3 Dumawatkayo ket saankayo a makaawat gapu ta dakes a banbanag dagiti dawdawatenyo, tapno mabusbusyo dagitoy kadagiti dakes a tartarigagayyo.
You ask, and receive not, because you ask amiss, that you may spend it on your passions.
4 Dakayo a mannakikamalala a babbai! Saanyo kadi nga ammo nga ti pannakigayyem iti lubong ket pannakisuppiat maibusor iti Dios? Ngarud, ti siasinoman a mangikeddeng nga agbalin a gayyem iti lubong ar-aramidenna ti bagina a kabusor iti Dios.
Adulterers and adulteresses, know you not that the friendship of the world is enmity to God? Whoever, therefore, will be a friend of the world, is an enemy of God.
5 Wenno ipagarupyo kadi nga awan kaipapanan ti Nasantoan a Sursurat no ibagbagana a ti Espiritu nga inkabilna kadatayo ket umap-apal unay para kadatayo?
Do you suppose that the scripture speaks to no purpose? Does the Spirit that dwells in us incline to envy? No.
6 Ngem mangmangted pay ti Dios iti ad-adu a parabur, nga isu ti gapu na a kinuna iti Nasantoan a Surat, “Supringen ti Dios dagiti napalanguad, ngem mangmanted iti parabur kadagiti napakumbaba.”
But he gives more grace. Wherefore he says: God sets himself against the proud, but gives grace to the lowly.
7 Ngarud, paiturayanyo ti bagbagiyo iti Dios. Supringenyo ti diablo, ket panawannakayonto.
Submit yourselves, therefore, to God; resist the devil, and he will flee from you;
8 Umasidegkayo iti Dios, ket umasidegto isuna kadakayo. Dalusanyo dagiti imayo, dakayo a managbasol, ken pasin-awenyo dagiti pusoyo, dakayo nga agduadua.
draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded men.
9 Agliday, agladingit, ken agsangitkayo! Pagbalinenyo dagiti katkatawayo a ladingit ken ti rag-oyo a liday.
Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to sorrow.
10 Agpakumbabakayo iti sangoanan ti Apo, ket itag-aynakayonto.
Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he will exalt you.
11 Saankayo nga agsao iti maibusor iti maysa ken maysa, kakabsat. Ti tao nga agsao maibusor iti maysa a kabsat wenno mangukom iti kabsatna ket agsasao a maibusor iti linteg ken uk-ukomenna ti linteg ti Dios. No ukomenyo ti linteg, saankayo nga agtultulnog iti linteg, ngem maysa nga ukom iti daytoy.
Do not speak evil one of another, brethren. He that speaks evil of his brother, and judges his brother, speaks evil of the law, and judges the law: but if you judge the law, you are not a doer of the law, but a judge.
12 Maysa laeng ti mangmangted iti linteg ken ukom, ti Dios, ti makaisalakan ken makadadael. Siasinokayo a mangukom iti kaarrubayo?
There is one law-giver that is able to save, and to destroy: who are you that judge another?
13 Dumngegkayo, dakayo nga agibagbaga, “Ita nga aldaw wenno inton bigat ket mapankaminto iti daytoy nga ili, ket agnaedkami idiay iti maysa a tawen, ket agtagilakokami, ket makagungunakaminto.”
Come, now, you that say, Let us go to-day, or to-morrow, into this city, and remain there a year, and trade, and make gain;
14 Siasino ti makaammo iti mapasamak inton bigat, ken ania ngay met koma ti biagyo? Ta kaslakayo angep nga agparang iti apagbiit ket kalpasanna agpukaw.
and yet you know not what will take place to-morrow. For what is your life? Is it not, indeed, a vapor, that appears for a little while, and then vanishes away?
15 Ngem ketdi ibagayo koma, “No pagayatan ti Apo, agbiagkaminto ket aramidenminto daytoy wenno dayta.”
Instead of that, you ought to say, If the Lord will, we shall live, and do this, or that.
16 Ngem ita ipaspasindayagyo ti maipapan kadagiti panggepyo. Amin a kasta a panagpaspasindayag ket dakes.
But now you glory in your boastings: all such glorying is evil.
17 Ngarud, kenkuana a makaammo nga agaramid iti nasayaat ngem saanna nga ar-aramiden daytoy, basol kenkuana daytoy.
Therefore, to him that knows how to do good, and does it not, to him it is sin.
