Now I will tell you why you are fighting among yourselves and quarreling with each other [RHQ]. It is [RHQ] because each of you wants to do evil things [PRS]. You keep on wanting to do things that are not [what God wants you to do].
2 ယူယံ ဝါဉ္ဆထ ကိန္တု နာပ္နုထ, ယူယံ နရဟတျာမ် ဤရ္ၐျာဉ္စ ကုရုထ ကိန္တု ကၖတာရ္ထာ ဘဝိတုံ န ၑက္နုထ, ယူယံ ယုဓျထ ရဏံ ကုရုထ စ ကိန္တွပြာပ္တာသ္တိၐ္ဌထ, ယတော ဟေတေား ပြာရ္ထနာံ န ကုရုထ၊
There are things that you [very much] desire to have, but you do not get [those things, so] you [want to] kill [HYP] [those who hinder you from getting them]. You desire what [other people have], but you are unable to get [what you desire, so] you quarrel and fight [with one another] [HYP]. You do not have [what you desire] because you do not ask [God for it].
3 ယူယံ ပြာရ္ထယဓွေ ကိန္တု န လဘဓွေ ယတော ဟေတေား သွသုခဘောဂေၐု ဝျယာရ္ထံ ကု ပြာရ္ထယဓွေ၊
[And even when] you do ask [him], he does not give you [what you ask for] because you are asking for the wrong reason. [You are asking for things] in order that you may use them just to (enjoy yourselves/make yourselves happy).
4 ဟေ ဝျဘိစာရိဏော ဝျဘိစာရိဏျၑ္စ, သံသာရသျ ယတ် မဲတြျံ တဒ် ဤၑွရသျ ၑာတြဝမိတိ ယူယံ ကိံ န ဇာနီထ? အတ ဧဝ ယး ကၑ္စိတ် သံသာရသျ မိတြံ ဘဝိတုမ် အဘိလၐတိ သ ဧဝေၑွရသျ ၑတြု ရ္ဘဝတိ၊
[Like] a woman who is unfaithful to her husband, you [are being unfaithful to God and not obeying him any more] [MET]. Those who are behaving as evil people do [MTY] (OR, Those who love [the evil pleasures of] this world) are hostile toward God. Perhaps you do not realize that [RHQ]. So those who decide to act as evil people do [MTY] become enemies of God.
5 ယူယံ ကိံ မနျဓွေ? ၑာသ္တြသျ ဝါကျံ ကိံ ဖလဟီနံ ဘဝေတ်? အသ္မဒန္တရွာသီ ယ အာတ္မာ သ ဝါ ကိမ် ဤရ္ၐျာရ္ထံ ပြေမ ကရောတိ?
(Surely you remember that [God told us in] the Scriptures that he eagerly desires that his Spirit, who lives in us, will help us to love [God] only!/Do you think that it is for no reason that [God told us in] the Scriptures that he strongly desires that his Spirit, who lives in us, will help us to love [God] only?) [RHQ] God has a reason for desiring that.
6 တန္နဟိ ကိန္တု သ ပြတုလံ ဝရံ ဝိတရတိ တသ္မာဒ် ဥက္တမာသ္တေ ယထာ, အာတ္မာဘိမာနလောကာနာံ ဝိပက္ၐော ဘဝတီၑွရး၊ ကိန္တု တေနဲဝ နမြေဘျး ပြသာဒါဒ် ဒီယတေ ဝရး။
[It is because] he is kind [to us and he] wants very much to help us. That is why (someone said/[King Solomon] wrote) [in the Scriptures], “God opposes those who are proud, but he helps those who are humble.”
7 အတဧဝ ယူယမ် ဤၑွရသျ ဝၑျာ ဘဝတ ၑယတာနံ သံရုန္ဓ တေန သ ယုၐ္မတ္တး ပလာယိၐျတေ၊
So submit yourselves to God. (Resist the devil/Refuse to do what the devil wants), and [as a result] he will run away from you.
8 ဤၑွရသျ သမီပဝရ္တ္တိနော ဘဝတ တေန သ ယုၐ္မာကံ သမီပဝရ္တ္တီ ဘဝိၐျတိ၊ ဟေ ပါပိနး, ယူယံ သွကရာန် ပရိၐ္ကုရုဓွံ၊ ဟေ ဒွိမနောလောကား, ယူယံ သွာန္တးကရဏာနိ ၑုစီနိ ကုရုဓွံ၊
Come near [spiritually] to God, and [as a result] he will come near to you. You who are sinners, stop doing what is wrong, and do only what is good [SYN, MET]. You who cannot decide [whether you will] ([commit yourselves to God/obey God completely]), stop thinking wrong thoughts, and think only pure thoughts [MTY].
9 ယူယမ် ဥဒွိဇဓွံ ၑောစတ ဝိလပတ စ, ယုၐ္မာကံ ဟာသး ၑောကာယ, အာနန္ဒၑ္စ ကာတရတာယဲ ပရိဝရ္တ္တေတာံ၊
Be sorrowful and weep/mourn [DOU] [because of the wrong things that you have done]. Do not laugh [DOU], ([enjoying only what you selfishly/enjoying only what you yourselves]) [desire]. Instead, be sad [because you have done what is wrong].
10 ပြဘေား သမက္ၐံ နမြာ ဘဝတ တသ္မာတ် သ ယုၐ္မာန် ဥစ္စီကရိၐျတိ၊
Humble yourselves before the Lord, and [as a result] he will honor you.
11 ဟေ ဘြာတရး, ယူယံ ပရသ္ပရံ မာ ဒူၐယတ၊ ယး ကၑ္စိဒ် ဘြာတရံ ဒူၐယတိ ဘြာတု ရွိစာရဉ္စ ကရောတိ သ ဝျဝသ္ထာံ ဒူၐယတိ ဝျဝသ္ထာယာၑ္စ ဝိစာရံ ကရောတိ၊ တွံ ယဒိ ဝျဝသ္ထာယာ ဝိစာရံ ကရောၐိ တရှိ ဝျဝသ္ထာပါလယိတာ န ဘဝသိ ကိန္တု ဝိစာရယိတာ ဘဝသိ၊
My fellow believers, stop saying evil things about one another, [because] those who say something evil about a fellow believer and [are therefore] condemning [one who is like] a brother [to them] are really speaking against the law [that God gave us to obey]. [In this law, God commanded] [MTY] [us to love others], and those who say evil things about fellow believers, [it is as though] they are saying that we do not have to do what [God] commanded. If you [(sg)] say that you do not have to do what God commanded, you [(sg)] are not obeying God’s law. Instead, you [(sg)] are claiming that you [have the authority] to condemn [others].
12 အဒွိတီယော ဝျဝသ္ထာပကော ဝိစာရယိတာ စ သ ဧဝါသ္တေ ယော ရက္ၐိတုံ နာၑယိတုဉ္စ ပါရယတိ၊ ကိန္တု ကသ္တွံ ယတ် ပရသျ ဝိစာရံ ကရောၐိ?
[But in fact], there is only one who [has the authority to] tell [people] what is right to do and to condemn [them, and that is God]. He alone is able to save [people] or to destroy people. [So], (you [(sg)] certainly have no right to decide how God should punish other people./who are you to decide how God should punish other people?) [RHQ]
13 အဒျ ၑွော ဝါ ဝယမ် အမုကနဂရံ ဂတွာ တတြ ဝရ္ၐမေကံ ယာပယန္တော ဝါဏိဇျံ ကရိၐျာမး လာဘံ ပြာပ္သျာမၑ္စေတိ ကထာံ ဘာၐမာဏာ ယူယမ် ဣဒါနီံ ၑၖဏုတ၊
[Some of you] are [arrogantly] saying, “Today or tomorrow we will go to a certain city. We will spend a year there and we will buy and sell things and earn a lot of money.” Now, you listen to me!
14 ၑွး ကိံ ဃဋိၐျတေ တဒ် ယူယံ န ဇာနီထ ယတော ဇီဝနံ ဝေါ ဘဝေတ် ကီဒၖက် တတ္တု ဗာၐ္ပသွရူပကံ, က္ၐဏမာတြံ ဘဝေဒ် ဒၖၑျံ လုပျတေ စ တတး ပရံ၊
[You should not talk like that, because] you do not know what will happen tomorrow, and you do not know [how long] you will live! Your life [is short] [MET], [like] a mist that appears for a short time and then disappears.
15 တဒနုက္တွာ ယုၐ္မာကမ် ဣဒံ ကထနီယံ ပြဘောရိစ္ဆာတော ဝယံ ယဒိ ဇီဝါမသ္တရှျေတတ် ကရ္မ္မ တတ် ကရ္မ္မ ဝါ ကရိၐျာမ ဣတိ၊
Instead of [what you are saying], you should say, “If the Lord wills/desires, we will live and do this or that.”
16 ကိန္တွိဒါနီံ ယူယံ ဂရွွဝါကျဲး ၑ္လာဃနံ ကုရုဓွေ တာဒၖၑံ သရွွံ ၑ္လာဃနံ ကုတ္သိတမေဝ၊
But what you are doing is boasting about all the things that you arrogantly [plan to do]. Your boasting like that is evil.
17 အတော ယး ကၑ္စိတ် သတ္ကရ္မ္မ ကရ္တ္တံ ဝိဒိတွာ တန္န ကရောတိ တသျ ပါပံ ဇာယတေ၊
So if anyone knows the right thing that he should do, [but] he does not do it, he is sinning.
