1From whence come wars and fightings among you? come they not hence, even of your lusts that war in your members?
1[Fananarana ny tia ady sy ny mpisintaka sy ny manendrikendrika ary ny tsy manaiky ny fitondran'Andriamanitra] Avy aiza ny ady, ary avy aiza ny fifandirana eo aminareo? Tsy izao va no ihaviany, dia ny filanareo izay miady ao anatin'ny momba ny tenanareo?
2Ye 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.
2Mila ianareo, nefa tsy manana ihany; mamono sy mitsiriritra ianareo, nefa tsy mahazo ihany; mifanditra sy miady ianareo; tsy manana ianareo, satria tsy mangataka. [Na: mialona]
3Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts.
3Mangataka ianareo, nefa tsy mahazo ihany, satria diso fangataka, mba holaninareo amin'ny filanareo.
4Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.
4Ry mpisintaka mijangajanga, tsy fantatrareo va fa fandrafiana an'Andriamanitra ny fisakaizana amin'izao tontolo izao? Koa na iza na iza te-ho sakaizan'izao tontolo izao, dia fahavalon'Andriamanitra izy.
5Do ye think that the scripture saith in vain, The spirit that dwelleth in us lusteth to envy?
5Ary ataonareo va fa miteny foana ny Soratra Masina? Ny fanahy, izay nampitoeriny ato anatintsika dia iriny amin'ny fahasaro-piaro. [ Na: ny Soratra Masina hoe] [ Na: izay mitoetra ato anatintsika] [ Na: Ny Fanahy, Izay nampitoeriny ato anatintsika, dia maniry amin'ny fahasaro-piaro; na: Ny fanahy, izay nampitoeriny ato anatintsika, dia maniry amin'ny fialonana]
6But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble.
6Nefa manome fahasoavana bebe kokoa Izy. Koa hoy izy: "Andriamanitra manohitra ny mpiavonavona, fa manome fahasoavana ho an'ny manetry tena" (Oha. 3.34].
7Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
7Ka dia maneke an Andriamanitra ianareo; ary manohera ny devoly, dia handositra anareo izy.
8Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded.
8Manatòna an'Andriamanitra, dia hanatona anareo Izy. Diovy ny tananareo, ry mpanota; ary ataovy madio ny fonareo, ry mpiroa saina.
9Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness.
9Oria, sy mitomania, ary midradradradrà; aoka hody fitomaniana ny fihomehezanareo, ary hody fanjoretana ny fifalianareo.
10Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.
10Manetre tena eo anatrehan'ny Tompo, dia hanandratra anareo Izy.
11Speak 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 judge the law, thou art not a doer of the law, but a judge.
11Aza mifanaratsy, ry rahalahy. Izay manaratsy rahalahy na mitsara ny rahalahiny dia manaratsy ny lalàna sy mitsara ny lalàna; fa raha mitsara ny lalàna ianao, dia tsy mpankatò ny lalàna, fa mpitsara.
12There is one lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy: who art thou that judgest another?
12Iray ihany no Mpanome lalàna sy Mpitsara, dia Ilay mahavonjy sy mahavery; fa iza moa ianao, no mitsara ny namanao?
13Go to 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:
13He! ianareo izay manao hoe: Anio na ampitso dia hankany Ananona izahay ary hitoetra any herintaona ka hividy sy hivarotra ary hahazo tombom-barotra,
14Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away.
14kanefa tsy mahalala ny ho ampitso ianareo. Inona moa ny ainareo? Fa zavona ihany ianareo, izay miseho vetivety, dia levona.
15For that ye ought to say, If the Lord will, we shall live, and do this, or that.
15Fa aleo manao izao: Raha sitrapon'ny Tompo, ka velona izahay, dia hataonay izao na izany.
16But now ye rejoice in your boastings: all such rejoicing is evil.
16Fa izao dia mirehareha amin'ny fahasahianareo ianareo; ratsy ny fireharehana rehetra toy izany.Koa izay mahalala hanao soa, nefa tsy manao, dia heloka ho azy izany.
17Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin.
17Koa izay mahalala hanao soa, nefa tsy manao, dia heloka ho azy izany.
