Santiago 4
1 Nondic guerlác eta guduac çuen artean? eza hemendic, diot, çuen voluptate çuen membroetan guerla eguiten dutenetaric?
Where do conflicts and quarrels among you come from? Do they not come from your passions that war 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 lust, and do not have. You kill, covet, and cannot obtain. You fight and make war. You do not have, because you do not ask.
3 Escatzen çarete eta eztuçue recebitzen: ceren gaizqui escatzon baitzarete, çuen voluptatetan despenda deçaçuençát.
You ask, and do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, so that you may spend it for your pleasures.
4 Adulteroác eta adulterác, eztaquiçue ecen munduaren adisquidetassuna, Iaincoaren etsaytassun dela? nor-ere bada nahi içanen baita munduarequin adisquide, Iaincoaren etsay iartenda.
You adulterers and adulteresses, do you not know that friendship with the world is hostility toward God? Therefore whoever wants to be a friend of the world makes himself 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 Scripture says in vain, "The Spirit which he made to dwell in us yearns jealously"?
6 Aitzitic du gratia handiagoa emaiten, halacotz dio, Iaincoac vrgulutsuey resistitzen draue, eta humiley gratia emaiten.
But he gives more grace. Therefore it says, God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble.
7 Çareten bada suiet Iaincoaren, resisti ieçoçue deabruari, eta ihes eguinen du çuetaric.
Be subject therefore to God. But resist 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 your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded.
9 Affligi çaitezte eta eguiçue lamentatione eta nigar: çuen irria nigarretara conuerti bedi, eta çuen alegrançá tristitiatara.
Lament, mourn, and weep. Let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to gloom.
10 Humilia çaitezte Iaunaren aitzinean, eta goraturen çaituzté.
Humble yourselves in the sight of 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 speaks against a brother or 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 Legue eçarlea bat da salua eta gal ahal deçaquena: hi nor aiz bercea iugeatzen duana?
Only one is the lawgiver and judge, who is able to save and to destroy. But who are you to judge your neighbor?
13 Eya orain erraiten duçuenác, Egun edo bihar ioanen gara hiri batetara, eta egonen gara han vrthebat, eta merkatalgoa eguinen dugu, eta irabaciren dugu:
Come now, you who say, "Today or tomorrow let us go into this city, and spend a year there, trade, and make a profit."
14 Eztaquiçuelaric biharamunean cer içanen den: ecen cer da çuen vicia? ecen appur batetacotz aguertzen eta guero deseguiten den vaporebat da.
Whereas you do not know what tomorrow will be like. What is your life? For you are a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away.
15 Erran behar cindutenaren lekuan, Baldin Iaunac nahi badu, eta vici bagara, eguinen dugu haur edo hura.
For you ought to say, "If the Lord wills, we will both live, and do this or that."
16 Baina orain gloriatzen çarete çuen vanterietan: horlaco gloriatze gucia gaichto da.
But now you glory in your boasting. All such boasting is evil.
17 Bada vngui eguiten daquianac eta ez eguiten, bekatu eguiten du.
To him therefore who knows to do good, and does not do it, to him it is sin.
