Yacquub 4
1 Dagaallada iyo dirirta idinku dhex jira xaggee bay ka yimaadaan? Miyaanay ka imanin damacyadiinna ku dhex dagaallamaya xubnihiinna?
Whence [come] wars and whence fightings among you? [Is it] not thence, — from your pleasures, which war in your members?
2 Waad damacdaan, mana lihidin; waad dishaan, waadna xaasiddaan, mana heli kartaan; waad dirirtaan, waadna dagaallantaan, mana lihidin, waayo, ma aad weyddiisataan.
Ye lust and have not: ye kill and are full of envy, and cannot obtain; ye fight and war; ye have not because ye ask not.
3 Waad weyddiisataan, mana heshaan, waayo, si xun baad u weyddiisataan inaad ku bixisaan damacyadiinna aawadood.
Ye ask and receive not, because ye ask evilly, that ye may consume [it] in your pleasures.
4 Dhillayo iyo dhillooyin yahow, miyeydnaan garanayn inay saaxiibnimada dunidu Ilaah la col tahay? Sidaas daraaddeed kii kasta oo doonaya inuu saaxiib la ahaado dunida, Ilaah buu la col noqdaa.
Adulteresses, know ye not that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Whoever therefore is minded to be [the] friend of the world is constituted enemy of God.
5 Mise waxaad u malaynaysaan in Qorniinku micnela'aan ku hadlo, Ruuxa uu ka dhigay inuu ina dhex joogo ayaa aad iyo aad inoo jecel isagoo inoo masayra?
Think ye that the scripture speaks in vain? Does the Spirit which has taken his abode in us desire enviously?
6 Laakiin isagu wuxuu bixiyaa nimco badan oo badan. Haddaba Qorniinku wuxuu leeyahay, Ilaah waa hor joogsadaa kuwa kibra, laakiin kuwa is-hoosaysiiya ayuu nimco siiyaa.
But he gives more grace. Wherefore he says, God sets himself against [the] proud, but gives grace to [the] lowly.
7 Haddaba Ilaah ka dambeeya, laakiin Ibliiska hor joogsada, wuu idinka carari doonaaye.
Subject yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
8 U soo dhowaada Ilaah, isaguna wuu idiin soo dhowaan doonaa. Dembilayaashow, gacmihiinna nadiifiya. Labaqalbiilayaashow, qalbiyadiinna daahiriya.
Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse [your] hands, sinners, and purify [your] hearts, ye double-minded.
9 Dhibtooda oo baroorta oo ooya. Qosolkiinnu baroor ha u rogmado, farxaddiinnuna caloolxumo.
Be wretched, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and [your] joy to heaviness.
10 Is-hoosaysiiya Rabbiga hortiisa, isna wuu idin sarraysiin doonaa.
Humble yourselves before [the] Lord, and he shall exalt you.
11 Xumaan ha iskaga hadlina, walaalayaalow. Kii xumaan walaalkiis kaga hadlaa ama walaalkiis xukumaa, sharciga ayuu xumaan kaga hadlaa, sharcigana wuu xukumaa. Haddaad sharciga xukuntid, adigu ma ihid mid sharciga yeela, laakiin waxaad tahay mid isaga xukuma.
Speak not against one another, brethren. He that speaks against [his] brother, or judges his brother, speaks against [the] law and judges [the] law. But if thou judgest [the] law, thou art not doer of [the] law, but judge.
12 Waa mid keliya kan sharciga bixiyaa oo wax xukumaa, oo waa kan kara inuu wax badbaadiyo oo uu wax dumiyo. Laakiin adigu yaad tahay, kan deriskiisa xukumow?
One is the lawgiver and judge, who is able to save and to destroy: but who art thou who judgest thy neighbour?
13 Bal kaalaya hadda, kuwiinnan yidhaahda, Maanta ama berri waxaannu tegi doonaa magaalo, oo halkaasaannu sannad joogi doonnaa, waannu baayacmushtari doonnaa oo faa'iidaysan doonnaa,
Go to now, ye who say, To-day or to-morrow will we go into such a city and spend a year there, and traffic and make gain,
14 kuwiinnan aan garanaynin waxa berri dhici doona. Noloshiinnu waa maxay? Waayo, idinku waxaad tihiin ceeryaamo, tan wakhti yar muuqata dabadeedna libidha.
ye who do not know what will be on the morrow, ([for] what [is] your life? It is even a vapour, appearing for a little while, and then disappearing, )
15 Waa inaad tidhaahdaan, Haddii Rabbigu doonayo, waannu noolaan doonnaa oo waxaannu samayn doonnaa tan ama taas.
instead of your saying, If the Lord should [so] will and we should live, we will also do this or that.
16 Laakiin idinku haatan waxaad ku faanaysaan isla weynaantiinna. Faanka caynkaas ah oo dhammu waa shar.
But now ye glory in your vauntings: all such glorying is evil.
17 Haddaba kii garanaya inuu wax wanaagsan sameeyo laakiin aan samayn, dembi bay u tahay isaga.
To him therefore who knows how to do good, and does it not, to him it is sin.
