James 4
1 Tuku ya me anwuk ac akukuin inmasrlowos inge? Ma inge tuku liki kena lowos nu ke mwe pwar koluk, su amei na in kowos.
Wherof ben batelis and cheestis among you? Whether not of youre coueitisis, that fiyten in youre membris?
2 Kowos mwel ma lun mwet ac koflana eis, oru kowos akola in akmas; yokla nunkunma suwos, ac ke kowos tia ku in eis na kowos akukuin ac anwuk. Kowos tia eis ma kowos lungse mweyen kowos tia siyuk sin God kac.
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 Ac pacl kowos siyuk uh kowos tiana eis, mweyen sripa lowos uh koluk. Kowos siyuk ke ma kowos in orekmakin nu ke pwar lowos sifacna.
Ye axen, and ye resseyuen not; for that ye axen yuele, as ye schewen opynli in youre coueitisis.
4 Tiana pwaye insiowos nu sin God! Ya kowos tia etu lah kowos fin mwet kawuk lun faclu, kalmac pa kowos mwet lokoalok lun God? Kutena mwet su lungse ma lun faclu el sifacna oru elan mwet lokoalok lun God.
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 Nik kowos nunku mu sutuu uh Ma Simusla ma fahk mu, “God El lemtai ngun se su El filiya in kut.”
Whether ye gessen, that the scripture seith veynli, The spirit that dwellith in you, coueitith to enuye?
6 Tusruktu lungkulang se su God El ase, el ku liki na. Oana Ma Simusla uh fahk, “God El lainulos su inse fulat, a El sang lungkulang nu selos su pusisel.”
But he yyueth the more grace; for which thing he seith, God withstondith proude men, but to meke men he yyueth grace.
7 Ke ma inge, eiskowosyang sifacna nu sin God. Kowos in lain Devil, ac el fah kaingkin kowos.
Therfor be ye suget to God; but withstonde ye the deuel, and he schal fle fro you.
8 Kowos in kalukyang nu yurin God, ac El ac fah apkuranwot nu yuruwos. Ohlla pouwos, kowos mwet koluk! Aknasnasye insiowos, kowos mwet wosounkas!
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 Kowos in arulana asor, ac tung ac mwemelil; ekulla israsr lowos an nu ke tung, ac engan lowos nu ke inse toasr!
Be ye wretchis, and weile ye; youre leiyyng be turned in to weping, and ioye in to sorewe of herte.
10 Akpusiselye kowos sifacna ye mutun Leum, ac El fah akfulatye kowos.
Be ye mekid in the siyt of the Lord, and he schal enhaunse you.
11 Mwet wiuk in lulalfongi, kowos in tia kaskas in sufan sie sin sie. Kutena mwet su sufan mwet lulalfongi wial ku nununkal, el lain Ma Sap ac orek nununku nu kac. Kom fin nununku Ma Sap, na kom tila sie su akos Ma Sap, a kom mwet nununku se.
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 God mukena pa orala Ma Sap ac orek nununku. El mukena ku in molela ac kunausla. Su kom an ku in nununku mwet wiom?
But oon is makere of the lawe, and iuge, that may lese, and delyuere.
13 Ac inge porongeyu, kowos su fahk mu, “Misenge ku lutu kut ac som nu ke sie siti ac muta we yac se, sramtauk sie business lasr ac konauk mani na yohk.”
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 A kowos tia ku in etu lah moul lowos ac fuka lutu! Kowos oana sie kulasr, su sikyak ke kitin pacl na wanginla.
whiche witen not, what is to you in the morewe.
15 Ma fal kowos in fahk pa inge: “Fin oh lungse lun God, kut fah moul ac oru ma se inge, ku ma se ingo.”
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 A inge kowos inse fulat ac tungak. Koluk kain konkin inge kewa.
And now ye maken ful out ioye in youre pridis; euery siche ioye is wickyd.
17 Ke ma inge, nu sel su etu in oru wo a el tia oru, ac ma koluk se lal.
Therfor it is synne to hym, that kan do good, and doith not.
