Yacquub 4
1 Dagaallada iyo dirirta idinku dhex jira xaggee bay ka yimaadaan? Miyaanay ka imanin damacyadiinna ku dhex dagaallamaya xubnihiinna?
Where do wars and fightings among you come from? Don’t they come from your pleasures that 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.
You lust, and don’t have. You murder and covet, and can’t obtain. You fight and make war. You don’t have, because you don’t ask.
3 Waad weyddiisataan, mana heshaan, waayo, si xun baad u weyddiisataan inaad ku bixisaan damacyadiinna aawadood.
You ask, and don’t receive, because you ask with wrong motives, so that you may spend it on 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.
You adulterers and adulteresses, don’t you know that friendship with the world is hostility toward God? Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an 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?
Or do you think that the Scripture says in vain, “The Spirit who lives in us yearns jealously”?
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. Therefore it says, “God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble.”
7 Haddaba Ilaah ka dambeeya, laakiin Ibliiska hor joogsada, wuu idinka carari doonaaye.
Be subject 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, you sinners. Purify your hearts, you double-minded.
9 Dhibtooda oo baroorta oo ooya. Qosolkiinnu baroor ha u rogmado, farxaddiinnuna caloolxumo.
Lament, mourn, and weep. Let your laughter be turned to mourning and your joy to gloom.
10 Is-hoosaysiiya Rabbiga hortiisa, isna wuu idin sarraysiin doonaa.
Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he will 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.
Don’t speak against one another, brothers. He who speaks against a brother and judges his brother, speaks against the law and judges the law. But if you judge the law, you are not a doer of the law but a 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?
Only one is the lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy. But who are you to judge another?
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,
Come now, you who say, “Today or tomorrow let’s go into this city and spend a year there, trade, and make a profit.”
14 kuwiinnan aan garanaynin waxa berri dhici doona. Noloshiinnu waa maxay? Waayo, idinku waxaad tihiin ceeryaamo, tan wakhti yar muuqata dabadeedna libidha.
Yet you don’t know what your life will be like tomorrow. For what is your life? For you are a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away.
15 Waa inaad tidhaahdaan, Haddii Rabbigu doonayo, waannu noolaan doonnaa oo waxaannu samayn doonnaa tan ama taas.
For you ought to say, “If the Lord wills, we will both live, and do this or that.”
16 Laakiin idinku haatan waxaad ku faanaysaan isla weynaantiinna. Faanka caynkaas ah oo dhammu waa shar.
But now you glory in your boasting. All such boasting is evil.
17 Haddaba kii garanaya inuu wax wanaagsan sameeyo laakiin aan samayn, dembi bay u tahay isaga.
To him therefore who knows to do good and doesn’t do it, to him it is sin.
