Berean Standard Bible
1Tuku ya me anwuk ac akukuin inmasrlowos inge? Ma inge tuku liki kena lowos nu ke mwe pwar koluk, su amei na in kowos.
1What causes conflicts and quarrels among you? Don’t they come from the passions at war within you?
2Kowos 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.
2You crave what you do not have; you kill and covet, but are unable to obtain it. You quarrel and fight. You do not have, because you do not ask.
3Ac pacl kowos siyuk uh kowos tiana eis, mweyen sripa lowos uh koluk. Kowos siyuk ke ma kowos in orekmakin nu ke pwar lowos sifacna.
3And when you do ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, that you may squander it on your pleasures.
4Tiana 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.
4You adulteresses! Do you not know that friendship with the world is hostility toward God? Therefore, whoever chooses to be a friend of the world renders himself an enemy of God.
5Nik kowos nunku mu sutuu uh Ma Simusla ma fahk mu, “God El lemtai ngun se su El filiya in kut.”
5Or do you think the Scripture says without reason that the Spirit He caused to dwell in us yearns with envy?
6Tusruktu 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.”
6But He gives us more grace. This is why it says: “God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble.”
7Ke ma inge, eiskowosyang sifacna nu sin God. Kowos in lain Devil, ac el fah kaingkin kowos.
7Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
8Kowos in kalukyang nu yurin God, ac El ac fah apkuranwot nu yuruwos. Ohlla pouwos, kowos mwet koluk! Aknasnasye insiowos, kowos mwet wosounkas!
8Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded.
9Kowos in arulana asor, ac tung ac mwemelil; ekulla israsr lowos an nu ke tung, ac engan lowos nu ke inse toasr!
9Grieve, mourn, and weep. Turn your laughter to mourning, and your joy to gloom.
10Akpusiselye kowos sifacna ye mutun Leum, ac El fah akfulatye kowos.
10Humble yourselves before the Lord, and He will exalt you.
11Mwet 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.
11Brothers, do not slander one another. Anyone who speaks against his brother or judges him speaks against the law and judges it. And if you judge the law, you are not a practitioner of the law, but a judge of it.
12God mukena pa orala Ma Sap ac orek nununku. El mukena ku in molela ac kunausla. Su kom an ku in nununku mwet wiom?
12There is only one Lawgiver and Judge, the One who is able to save and destroy. But who are you to judge your neighbor?
13Ac 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.”
13Come now, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go to this or that city, spend a year there, carry on business, and make a profit.”
14A kowos tia ku in etu lah moul lowos ac fuka lutu! Kowos oana sie kulasr, su sikyak ke kitin pacl na wanginla.
14You do not even know what will happen tomorrow! What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes.
15Ma fal kowos in fahk pa inge: “Fin oh lungse lun God, kut fah moul ac oru ma se inge, ku ma se ingo.”
15Instead, you ought to say, “If the Lord is willing, we will live and do this or that.”
16A inge kowos inse fulat ac tungak. Koluk kain konkin inge kewa.
16As it is, you boast in your proud intentions. All such boasting is evil.
17Ke ma inge, nu sel su etu in oru wo a el tia oru, ac ma koluk se lal.
17Anyone, then, who knows the right thing to do, yet fails to do it, is guilty of sin.
