James 4
1 From where come wars and fightings among you? come they not from this, even from your lusts 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 Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not.
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 Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts.
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 Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the 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 Do ye think that the scripture saith in vain, The spirit that dwelleth in us lusteth to envy?
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 giveth more grace. Therefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth 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 Submit yourselves 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, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye 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 Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness.
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 shall lift you up.
E hoohaahaa oukou ia oukou iho imua o ka Haku, a nana oukou e hookiekie ae.
11 Speak not evil one of another, brethren. He that speaketh evil of his brother, and judgeth his brother, speaketh evil of the law, and judgeth the law: but if thou judgest the law, thou art 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 There is one lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy: who art thou that judgest 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, ye that say, To day or to morrow we will go into such a city, and continue there a year, and buy and sell, and get gain:
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 Though ye know not what shall be to morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth 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 Instead of that ye ought to say, If the Lord will, we shall 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 ye rejoice in your boastings: all such rejoicing is evil.
Ano la, ua lealea oukou i ko oukou kaena ana; a o ia lealea a pau ua hewa ia.
17 Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin.
Nolaila, o ka mea i ike i ka hana pono, aole nae i hana, he hewa no ia nona.
