Yakobo 4
1 Kiki ekireeta entalo n’okulwanagana mu mmwe? Si lwa kubanga mu mitima gyammwe mujjudde ebintu bingi nnyo ebibi bye mwagala?
Πόθεν πόλεμοι καὶ μάχαι ἐν ὑμῖν; Οὐκ ἐντεῦθεν, ἐκ τῶν ἡδονῶν ὑμῶν τῶν στρατευομένων ἐν τοῖς μέλεσιν ὑμῶν;
2 Mwagala ebintu ne mutabifuna ne muba n’obuggya, ne mulyoka muttiŋŋana so ne mutasobola kubifuna, nga mulwana era nga muyomba kubanga mulemeddwa okubisaba.
Ἐπιθυμεῖτε, καὶ οὐκ ἔχετε· φονεύετε καὶ ζηλοῦτε, καὶ οὐ δύνασθε ἐπιτυχεῖν· μάχεσθε καὶ πολεμεῖτε, οὐκ ἔχετε διὰ τὸ μὴ αἰτεῖσθαι ὑμᾶς·
3 Era ne bwe mubisaba, temubifuna kubanga ekigendererwa kyammwe kikyamu; mugenderera kubikozesa ku masanyu gokka.
αἰτεῖτε, καὶ οὐ λαμβάνετε, διότι κακῶς αἰτεῖσθε, ἵνα ἐν ταῖς ἡδοναῖς ὑμῶν δαπανήσητε.
4 Mmwe abenzi temumanyi ng’okuba mikwano gy’ensi bulabe eri Katonda? Noolwekyo omuntu yenna bw’alondawo okuba mukwano gw’ensi afuuka mulabe wa Katonda.
Μοιχοὶ καὶ μοιχαλίδες, οὐκ οἴδατε ὅτι ἡ φιλία τοῦ κόσμου ἔχθρα τοῦ Θεοῦ ἐστιν; Ὃς ἂν οὖν βουληθῇ φίλος εἶναι τοῦ κόσμου, ἐχθρὸς τοῦ Θεοῦ καθίσταται.
5 Oba mulowooza nti Ekyawandiikibwa tekiba na makulu bwe kigamba nti, “Omwoyo gwe yassa mu ffe, atulabirira n’okwagala okujjudde obuggya”?
Ἢ δοκεῖτε ὅτι κενῶς ἡ γραφὴ λέγει; Πρὸς φθόνον ἐπιποθεῖ τὸ πνεῦμα ὃ κατῴκησεν ἐν ἡμῖν.
6 Kyokka Omwoyo omukulu oyo era agaba ekisa kingi. Kyekiva kigamba nti, “Katonda alwana n’ab’amalala naye abawombeefu abawa ekisa.”
Μείζονα δὲ δίδωσι χάριν· διὸ λέγει, Ὁ Θεὸς ὑπερηφάνοις ἀντιτάσσεται, ταπεινοῖς δὲ δίδωσι χάριν.
7 Kale, mugondere Katonda era mulwanyisenga Setaani, ajja kubaddukanga.
Ὑποτάγητε οὖν τῷ Θεῷ· ἀντίστητε δὲ τῷ διαβόλῳ, καὶ φεύξεται ἀφ᾽ ὑμῶν.
8 Musemberere Katonda, ne Katonda anaabasembereranga. Mulongoose engalo zammwe, mmwe abakozi b’ebibi, mutukuze emitima gyammwe, mmwe abalina emyoyo egitaaganaaga.
Ἐγγίσατε τῷ Θεῷ, καὶ ἐγγιεῖ ὑμῖν· καθαρίσατε χεῖρας, ἁμαρτωλοί, καὶ ἁγνίσατε καρδίας, δίψυχοι.
9 Mukungubage, mukube ebiwoobe era mukaabe. Okuseka kwammwe kufuuke okukungubaga, n’essanyu lifuuke okunakuwala.
Ταλαιπωρήσατε καὶ πενθήσατε καὶ κλαύσατε· ὁ γέλως ὑμῶν εἰς πένθος μεταστραφήτω, καὶ ἡ χαρὰ εἰς κατήφειαν.
10 Mwetoowazenga mu maaso ga Mukama waffe, naye alibagulumiza.
Ταπεινώθητε ἐνώπιον τοῦ Κυρίου, καὶ ὑψώσει ὑμᾶς.
11 Abooluganda, temugeyaŋŋananga, era buli omu aleme kwogera bubi ku munne newaakubadde okusalira munne omusango. Bwe mukikola muba mulwanyisa etteeka era musalira etteeka omusango. Bw’osalira etteeka omusango, oba totuukiriza tteeka wabula obeera musazi wa musango.
Μὴ καταλαλεῖτε ἀλλήλων, ἀδελφοί. Ὁ καταλαλῶν ἀδελφοῦ, καὶ κρίνων τὸν ἀδελφὸν αὐτοῦ, καταλαλεῖ νόμου, καὶ κρίνει νόμον· εἰ δὲ νόμον κρίνεις, οὐκ εἶ ποιητὴς νόμου, ἀλλὰ κριτής.
12 Oyo yekka eyateeka amateeka y’asala omusango. Era y’asalawo okulokola oba okuzikiriza. Kale, osinziira ku ki okusalira muliraanwa wo omusango?
Εἷς ἐστιν ὁ νομοθέτης, ὁ δυνάμενος σῶσαι καὶ ἀπολέσαι· σὺ δὲ τίς εἶ ὃς κρίνεις τὸν ἕτερον;
13 Muwulire mmwe abagamba nti, “Leero oba enkya nzija kugenda egindi maleyo omwaka gumu, era ntandikeyo omulimu ogunanfunyisa ensimbi ennyingi.”
Ἄγε νῦν οἱ λέγοντες, Σήμερον καὶ αὔριον πορευσώμεθα εἰς τήνδε τὴν πόλιν, καὶ ποιήσωμεν ἐκεῖ ἐνιαυτὸν ἕνα, καὶ ἐμπορευσώμεθα, καὶ κερδήσωμεν·
14 Mumanyidde ku ki ebigenda okubaawo enkya oba obulamu bwammwe bwe bunaaba? Kubanga ebbanga lye mumala nga muli balamu liri ng’olufu olulabika ate mangwago ne lubula.
οἵτινες οὐκ ἐπίστασθε τὸ τῆς αὔριον. Ποία γὰρ ἡ ζωὴ ὑμῶν; Ἀτμὶς γὰρ ἔσται ἡ πρὸς ὀλίγον φαινομένη, ἔπειτα δὲ καὶ ἀφανιζομένη.
15 Kino kye musaanira okwogera nti, “Katonda bw’anaaba ng’asiimye tuliba balamu ne tukola kino oba kiri.”
Ἀντὶ τοῦ λέγειν ὑμᾶς, Ἐὰν ὁ Κύριος θελήσῃ, καὶ ζήσωμεν, καὶ ποιήσωμεν τοῦτο ἢ ἐκεῖνο.
16 Bwe mutakola mutyo muba mwekuluntaza olw’entegeka zammwe, songa okwekuluntaza okw’engeri eyo tekusanyusa Katonda.
Νῦν δὲ καυχᾶσθε ἐν ταῖς ἀλαζονείαις ὑμῶν· πᾶσα καύχησις τοιαύτη πονηρά ἐστιν.
17 Okumanya ekituufu ekiteekwa okukolwa, naye ne mutakikola, kuba kwonoona.
Εἰδότι οὖν καλὸν ποιεῖν καὶ μὴ ποιοῦντι, ἁμαρτία αὐτῷ ἐστιν.
