1From whence come wars and fightings among you? come they not hence, even of your lusts that war in your members?
1 Man gaa no wongey goono ga fun? Man gaa mo no yanjey goono ga fun araŋ game ra? Manti araŋ ibaay laaley ra no i goono ga fun, kaŋ yaŋ goono ga wongu te araŋ gaahamey ra?
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.
2 Araŋ goono ga bini, araŋ si du mo. Araŋ goono ga wi, araŋ goono ga canse, araŋ si hin ka du mo. Araŋ goono ga yanje, araŋ goono ga wongu te. Araŋ si du zama araŋ si ŋwaaray no.
3Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts.
3 Araŋ goono ga ŋwaaray, araŋ si du mo, zama araŋ goono ga hatta no araŋ adduwey ra, zama araŋ m'araŋ ibaay laaley laami kaa.
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.
4 Ya araŋ zina-teerey, araŋ si bay kaŋ ndunnya corotaray ya Irikoy ibaretaray no? Yaadin gaa, boro kulu kaŋ ga ba nga ma ciya ndunnya coro, a na nga boŋ te Irikoy ibare nooya.
5Do ye think that the scripture saith in vain, The spirit that dwelleth in us lusteth to envy?
5 Wala mo araŋ goono ga tammahã Irikoy Tira Hanney salaŋ yaamo no kaŋ i ne: Biya _Hanna|_ kaŋ Irikoy gorandi iri ra goono ga canse iri se gumo?
6But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble.
6 Amma Irikoy goono ga gomni no ka tonton. Woodin sabbay se Irikoy Sanno ne: «Irikoy ga wangu boŋbeeraykoy, Amma a ga gomni no lalabukoy se.»
7Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
7 Wa araŋ boŋ ye ganda Irikoy se, amma araŋ ma wangu Iblisi se, a ga zuru araŋ se mo.
8Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded.
8 Araŋ ma maan Irikoy gaa, nga mo ga maan araŋ gaa. Ya araŋ zunubikooney, w'araŋ kambey hanandi! Araŋ bine-hinka-koyey, w'araŋ biney hanandi!
9Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness.
9 Wa te bine saray, wa bu baray te, wa hẽ. Wa naŋ araŋ haarey ma bare ka te barayyaŋ, araŋ farhã mo ma bare ka te bine saray!
10Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.
10 Wa araŋ boŋ kaynandi Rabbi jine, nga mo g'araŋ beerandi.
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.
11 Ay nya-izey, araŋ ma si care ciinay da taali. Boro kaŋ ga nga nya-ize ciinay da taali, wala a ga nga nya-ize ciiti, a goono ga asariya* ciinay da taali k'a ciiti mo. Amma da ni ga asariya ciiti, yaadin gaa ni manti asariya ganako, amma ni wo asariya ciitiko no.
12There is one lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy: who art thou that judgest another?
12 Zama asariya Nooko da Ciitiko folloŋ hinne ka bara. Nga no gonda faaba dabari, a gonda halaciyaŋ dabari mo. Ni wo may no, kaŋ ga ni gorokasin ciiti?
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:
13 Wa maa, araŋ kaŋ goono ga ne: «Hunkuna wala suba iri ga koy birni fo ra ka te jiiri fo noodin ka fatawci ka riiba margu.»
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.
14 Araŋ kaŋ si baa bay haŋ kaŋ ga te suba! Ifo no ga ti araŋ fundey? Araŋ wo dullu no kaŋ ga bangay alwaati kayna, woodin banda a ga say-say ka daray.
15For that ye ought to say, If the Lord will, we shall live, and do this, or that.
15 Amma woone no araŋ ga hima ka ne: Da Rabbi ba, iri ga funa ka ya-cine nda ya-cine te.
16But now ye rejoice in your boastings: all such rejoicing is evil.
16 Amma sohõ araŋ goono ga fooma araŋ boŋbeera ra. Fooma wo dumi kulu ilaalo no.
17Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin.
17 Yaadin gaa, boro kaŋ ga ihanno bay kaŋ si g'a te mo, bora se woodin ya zunubi no.
