Santiago 4
1 Nondic guerlác eta guduac çuen artean? eza hemendic, diot, çuen voluptate çuen membroetan guerla eguiten dutenetaric?
From where [are] wars and fightings among you? [Is it] not from here, out of your passions warring in your members?
2 Desiratzen duçue eta eztuçue vkaiten, inuidioso çarete eta bekaitz, eta ecin ardiets deçaqueçue: combatitzen çarete eta guerla eguiten duçue, baina eztuçue desiratzen duçuena, ceren ezpaitzarete escatzen.
You desire, and do not have, [so] you murder; and you are zealous, and are not able to attain, [so] you fight and war; and you do not have, because of your not asking;
3 Escatzen çarete eta eztuçue recebitzen: ceren gaizqui escatzon baitzarete, çuen voluptatetan despenda deçaçuençát.
you ask, and you do not receive, because you ask badly, that you may spend [it] in your pleasures.
4 Adulteroác eta adulterác, eztaquiçue ecen munduaren adisquidetassuna, Iaincoaren etsaytassun dela? nor-ere bada nahi içanen baita munduarequin adisquide, Iaincoaren etsay iartenda.
Adulterers and adulteresses! Have you not known that friendship of the world is enmity with God? Whoever, then, may intend to be a friend of the world, he is designated [as] an enemy of God.
5 Ala vste duçue ecen Scripturác alferretan erraiten duela, Inuidiatara aurthiten du çuetan habitatzen den spirituac?
Or, do you think that the Writing says emptily, “The Spirit that has dwelt in us yearns with envy,”
6 Aitzitic du gratia handiagoa emaiten, halacotz dio, Iaincoac vrgulutsuey resistitzen draue, eta humiley gratia emaiten.
but [God] gives greater grace, for this reason it says, “God sets Himself up against proud ones, and He gives grace to lowly ones.”
7 Çareten bada suiet Iaincoaren, resisti ieçoçue deabruari, eta ihes eguinen du çuetaric.
Be subject, then, to God; stand up against the Devil, and he will flee from you;
8 Hurbil çaquitzate Iaincoari, eta hurbilduren çaiçue: garbitzaçue escuac, o bekatoreác, eta purificaitzaçue bihotzac, o gogo doblatacoác.
draw near to God, and He will draw near to you; cleanse hands, you sinners! And purify hearts, you split-souled!
9 Affligi çaitezte eta eguiçue lamentatione eta nigar: çuen irria nigarretara conuerti bedi, eta çuen alegrançá tristitiatara.
Be exceedingly afflicted, and mourn, and weep, let your laughter be turned to mourning, and the joy to heaviness;
10 Humilia çaitezte Iaunaren aitzinean, eta goraturen çaituzté.
be made low before the LORD, and He will exalt you.
11 Elkarren contra etzaiteztela gaizqui minça, anayeác: anayearen contra minço denac, eta bere anayea condemnatzen duenac, Leguearen contra gaizqui erraiten du, eta Leguea condemnatzen du: eta baldin Leguea condemnatzen baduc, ezaiz Leguearen eguile, baina iuge.
Do not speak against one another, brothers; he who is speaking against a brother, and is judging his brother, speaks against law, and judges law, and if you judge law, you are not a doer of law but a judge.
12 Legue eçarlea bat da salua eta gal ahal deçaquena: hi nor aiz bercea iugeatzen duana?
One is the lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy; you—who are you that judges the other?
13 Eya orain erraiten duçuenác, Egun edo bihar ioanen gara hiri batetara, eta egonen gara han vrthebat, eta merkatalgoa eguinen dugu, eta irabaciren dugu:
Go, now, you who are saying, “Today and tomorrow we will go on to such a city, and will pass there one year, and traffic, and make gain,”
14 Eztaquiçuelaric biharamunean cer içanen den: ecen cer da çuen vicia? ecen appur batetacotz aguertzen eta guero deseguiten den vaporebat da.
who does not know the thing of tomorrow; for what is your life? For it is a vapor that is appearing for a little [while], and then is vanishing;
15 Erran behar cindutenaren lekuan, Baldin Iaunac nahi badu, eta vici bagara, eguinen dugu haur edo hura.
instead, you [ought] to say, “If the LORD may will, we will live, and do this or that”;
16 Baina orain gloriatzen çarete çuen vanterietan: horlaco gloriatze gucia gaichto da.
but now you glory in your pride; all such glorying is evil;
17 Bada vngui eguiten daquianac eta ez eguiten, bekatu eguiten du.
to him, then, knowing to do good, and not doing [it], it is sin to him.
