Iacobi 4
1 Unde bella et lites in vobis? nonne hinc: ex concupiscentiis vestris, quæ militant in membris vestris?
From where [come] disputes and (from where *no*) quarrels among you? Surely from there, out of the passions of you those warring in the members of you?
2 concupiscitis, et non habetis: occiditis, et zelatis: et non potestis adipisci: litigatis, et belligeratis, et non habetis, propter quod non postulatis.
You desire and not have; you kill and covet and not are able to obtain; You quarrel and wrangle; Not you have (now *k*) because not to ask you;
3 Petitis, et non accipitis: eo quod male petatis: ut in concupiscentiis vestris insumatis.
You ask and not receive, because wrongly you ask, that in the pleasures of you you may spend [it].
4 Adulteri, nescitis quia amicitia hujus mundi inimica est Dei? quicumque ergo voluerit amicus esse sæculi hujus, inimicus Dei constituitur.
(adulterers — and *K*) Adulteresses! Surely you know that the friendship with the world hostility with God is? Who[ever] (maybe *N(k)O*) therefore shall choose a friend to be of the world, an enemy of God is appointed.
5 An putatis quia inaniter Scriptura dicat: Ad invidiam concupiscit spiritus qui habitat in vobis?
Or think you that in vain the Scripture speaks? With envy yearns the Spirit that (he settled *N(k)O*) in us,
6 majorem autem dat gratiam. Propter quod dicit: Deus superbis resistit, humilibus autem dat gratiam.
Greater however He gives grace; Therefore it says: God [the] proud opposes, to [the] humble however gives grace.
7 Subditi ergo estote Deo, resistite autem diabolo, et fugiet a vobis.
do be subjected therefore to God. do resist (however *no*) the devil and he will flee from you,
8 Appropinquate Deo, et appropinquabit vobis. Emundate manus, peccatores: et purificate corda, duplices animo.
do draw near to God and He will draw near to you. do cleanse [your] hands, [you] sinners, and do purify hearts, [you] double-minded.
9 Miseri estote, et lugete, et plorate: risus vester in luctum convertatur, et gaudium in mœrorem.
do be grieved and do mourn and do weep; The laughter of you to mourning (should be turned *N(k)O*) and the joy to gloom.
10 Humiliamini in conspectu Domini, et exaltabit vos.
do be humbled in the presence of (the *ko*) Lord and He will exalt you.
11 Nolite detrahere alterutrum fratres. Qui detrahit fratri, aut qui judicat fratrem suum, detrahit legi, et judicat legem. Si autem judicas legem, non es factor legis, sed judex.
Not do speak against one another, brothers; The [one] speaking against [his] brother (or *N(k)O*) judging the brother of him speaks against [the] Law and judges [the] Law; If however [the] Law you judge, not you are a doer of [the] Law but a judge.
12 Unus est legislator et judex, qui potest perdere et liberare.
One there is Lawgiver (and Judge *NO*) who is being able to save and to destroy; You yourself (however *no*) who are (you who [are] judging *N(k)O*) the (neighbour? *N(K)O*)
13 Tu autem quis es, qui judicas proximum? Ecce nunc qui dicitis: Hodie, aut crastino ibimus in illam civitatem, et faciemus ibi quidem annum, et mercabimur, et lucrum faciemus:
do come now you who [are] saying; Today (or *N(k)O*) tomorrow (we will go *N(k)O*) into such city and (will spend *N(k)O*) there a year (one *K*) and (will trade *N(k)O*) and (will make a profit; *N(k)O*)
14 qui ignoratis quid erit in crastino.
[you] who not you know what [is] on the next day [is] What [is] (for *ko*) the life of you! A vapor just (you are *N(K)(o)*) for a little [while] appearing then (and *k*) also vanishing;
15 Quæ est enim vita vestra? vapor est ad modicum parens, et deinceps exterminabitur; pro eo ut dicatis: Si Dominus voluerit. Et: Si vixerimus, faciemus hoc, aut illud.
Instead [ought] to say you; If the Lord (shall wish *NK(o)*) both (we will live *N(k)O*) and (we will do *N(k)O*) this or that.
16 Nunc autem exsultatis in superbiis vestris. Omnis exsultatio talis, maligna est.
Now however you boast in the arrogance of you; All boasting such evil is.
17 Scienti igitur bonum facere, et non facienti, peccatum est illi.
To [him] knowing therefore good to do and not doing [it], sin to him it is.
