James 4

1 Where do wars and fightings among you come from? Don’t they come from your pleasures that war in your members?

NOHEA mai la na kaua a me na hakaka ana iwaena o oukou? Aole anei no na kuko o oukou e kaua ana iloko o ko oukou mau lala?

2 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.

Ua kuko hoi oukou, aole i loaa; ua huahuwa ae la oukou me ka pepehi aku, aole e hiki ia oukou ke loaa mai; ua hakaka oukou me ke kaua aku, aole nae i loaa, no ko oukou noi ole aku:

3 You ask, and don’t receive, because you ask with wrong motives, so that you may spend it on your pleasures.

Ke noi nei oukou, me ka loaa ole, no ka mea, ua noi pono ole oukou, i pau ai ia mea ma ko oukou mau kuko.

4 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.

E na kane moe kolohe a me na wahine moe kolohe, aole anei oukou i ike, o ka hoolauna ana me ko ke ao nei, he ku e aku ia i ke Akua? O ka mea e makemake e hoolauna pu me ko ke ao nei, ua lilo ia i enemi no ke Akua.

5 Or do you think that the Scripture says in vain, “The Spirit who lives in us yearns jealously”?

Ke manao nei anei oukou ua olelo wale mai ka palapala, Ua kuko no ka uhane e noho ana iloko o kakou me ka huahuwa?

6 But he gives more grace. Therefore it says, “God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble.”

Haawi mai la ia i ka lokomaikai mahuahua ae; no ia hoi, i mai la ia, Ku e aku la ke Akua i ka poe haaheo, a haawi mai la hoi i ka lokomaikai i ka poe hoohaahaa.

7 Be subject therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

Nolaila, e hoolohe oukou i ke Akua; e pale aku hoi i ka diabolo, alaila e holo aku ia mai o oukou aku.

8 Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners. Purify your hearts, you double-minded.

E hookokoke aku oukou i ke Akua, a e hookokoke mai kela ia oukou. E ka poe hewa, e hoomaemae i ko oukou mau lima, e huikala hoi i ko oukou mau naau, e ka poe naau lolelua.

9 Lament, mourn, and weep. Let your laughter be turned to mourning and your joy to gloom.

E ehaeha oukou, e u aku hoi me ka uwe; e hoolilo i ko oukou akaaka i uwe ana, a me ko oukou olioli i kaumaha.

10 Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he will exalt you.

E hoohaahaa oukou ia oukou iho imua o ka Haku, a nana oukou e hookiekie ae.

11 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.

E na hoahanau, mai olelo ino oukou i kekahi i kekahi. O ka mea e olelo ino aku no kona hoahanau, me ka hoohewa aku i kona hoahanau, oia ka i olelo ino aku no ke kanawai me ka hoohewa hoi i ke kanawai; ina oe i hoohewa aku i ke kanawai, aole loa oe i malama aku i ke kanawai, aka, ua lilo oe i mea kau kanawai.

12 Only one is the lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy. But who are you to judge another?

Hookahi no mea nana i haawi i ke kanawai, e hiki no ia ia ke hoola a me ka luku aku hoi. Owai la hoi oe e hoohewa aku nei ia hai?

13 Come now, you who say, “Today or tomorrow let’s go into this city and spend a year there, trade, and make a profit.”

E hele oukou, e ka poe e olelo ana, E hele makou i keia la paha, apopo paha i kahi kulanakauhale, a malaila makou e noho ai i hookahi makahiki, a e kuai aku, kuai mai, a e loaa ka waiwai;

14 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.

Oiai aole oukou i ike i ka ka la apopo. No ka mea, heaha ko oukou ola? Kainoa he wahi mahu no ia, i pua iki ae, alaila nalo ae la.

15 For you ought to say, “If the Lord wills, we will both live, and do this or that.”

Eia ko oukou pono e olelo ae, Ina e makemake mai ka Haku, alaila o ola makou, a e hana i kela mea, i keia mea.

16 But now you glory in your boasting. All such boasting is evil.

Ano la, ua lealea oukou i ko oukou kaena ana; a o ia lealea a pau ua hewa ia.

17 To him therefore who knows to do good and doesn’t do it, to him it is sin.

Nolaila, o ka mea i ike i ka hana pono, aole nae i hana, he hewa no ia nona.
