Yakobo 4
1 Ugonvi na migogoro miongoni mwenu vyatoka wapi? Haviinuki kutoka katika tamaa zenu mbaya zinazoleta vita ndani ya washirika wenu?
Wherof ben batelis and cheestis among you? Whether not of youre coueitisis, that fiyten in youre membris?
2 Mnatamani kile msichokuwa nacho. Mnauwa na mnafukuzia kile msichoweza kuwa nacho. Mnapigana na kugombana, na bado hampati kwa sababu hamumwombi Mungu.
Ye coueiten, and ye han not; ye sleen, and ye han enuye, and ye moun not gete. Ye chiden, and maken batel; and ye han not, for ye axen not.
3 Mnaomba na hampokei kwa sababu mnaomba kwa ajili ya mambo mabaya, ili kwamba muweze kuvitumia kwa tamaa zenu mbaya.
Ye axen, and ye resseyuen not; for that ye axen yuele, as ye schewen opynli in youre coueitisis.
4 Enyi wazinzi! Hamjui kwamba urafiki na ulimwengu ni uadui dhidi ya Mungu? Kwa hiyo, yeyote aamuaye kuwa rafiki wa ulimwengu hujifanya mwenyewe adui wa Mungu.
Auowtreris, witen not ye, that the frenschip of this world is enemye to God? Therfor who euere wole be frend of this world, is maad the enemye of God.
5 Au mnadhani maandiko hayana maana yasemapo kwamba Roho aliyoweka ndani yetu ana wivu sana kwa ajili yetu?
Whether ye gessen, that the scripture seith veynli, The spirit that dwellith in you, coueitith to enuye?
6 Lakini Mungu hutoa neema zaidi, ndiyo maana maandiko husema, “Mungu humpinga mwenye kiburi, lakini humpa neema mnyenyekevu.”
But he yyueth the more grace; for which thing he seith, God withstondith proude men, but to meke men he yyueth grace.
7 Hivyo, jitoeni kwa Mungu. Mpingeni ibilisi na yeye atakimbia kutoka kwenu.
Therfor be ye suget to God; but withstonde ye the deuel, and he schal fle fro you.
8 Sogeeni karibu na Mungu, na yeye atakaribia karibu nanyi. Safisheni mikono yenu, enyi wenye dhambi, na takaseni mioyo yenu, enyi wenye nia mbili.
Neiye ye to God, and he schal neiye to you. Ye synneris, clense ye hondis, and ye double in soule, purge ye the hertis.
9 Huzunikeni, ombolezeni, na kuria! Geuzeni kicheko chenu kuwa huzuni na furaha yenu kuwa maombolezo.
Be ye wretchis, and weile ye; youre leiyyng be turned in to weping, and ioye in to sorewe of herte.
10 Jinyenyekezeni wenyewe mbele za Bwana, na atawainua juu.
Be ye mekid in the siyt of the Lord, and he schal enhaunse you.
11 Msineneane kinyume ninyi kwa ninyi, ndugu. Mtu anenaye kinyume na ndugu yake, au kumhukumu ndugu yake, hunena kinyume na sheria na huihukumu sheria ya Mungu. Mkiihukumu sheria, hamuitii sheria, bali mnaihukumu.
My britheren, nyle ye bacbite ech othere. He that bacbitith his brothir, ethir that demeth his brothir, bacbitith the lawe, and demeth the lawe. And if thou demest the lawe, thou art not a doere of the lawe, but a domesman.
12 Ni mmoja tu ambaye ni mtoa sheria na hakimu, Mungu, yeye ambaye ana uwezo wa kuokoa na kuangamiza. Wewe ni nani ambaye unamhukumu jirani yako?
But oon is makere of the lawe, and iuge, that may lese, and delyuere.
13 Sikilizeni, ninyi msemao, “Leo au kesho tutakwenda katika mji huu, na kukaa mwaka huko, na kufanya biashara, na kutengeneza faida.”
And who art thou, that demest thi neiybore? Lo! now ye, that seien, To dai ethir to morewe we schulen go in to thilke citee, and there we schulen dwelle a yeer, and we schulen make marchaundise, and we schulen make wynning;
14 Ni nani ajuaye nini kitatokea kesho, na maisha yenu ni nini hasa? Kwa kuwa mnafanana kama ukungu unaotokea kwa muda mfupi na kisha hupotea.
whiche witen not, what is to you in the morewe.
15 Badala yake mngesema, “kama ni mapenzi ya Bwana, tutaishi na tutafanya hiki au kile.”
For what is youre lijf? A smoke apperinge at a litil, and aftirward it schal be wastid. Therfor that ye seie, If the Lord wole, and if we liuen, we schulen do this thing, ether that thing.
16 Lakini sasa mnajivuna juu ya mipango yenu. Majivuno yote hayo ni uovu.
And now ye maken ful out ioye in youre pridis; euery siche ioye is wickyd.
17 Kwahiyo, kwake yeye ajuaye kutenda mema lakini hayatendi, kwake huyo ni dhambi.
Therfor it is synne to hym, that kan do good, and doith not.
