James 4 - Listen Online

¹ NIBO ni ogun ti wá, nibo ni ija si ti wá larin nyin? lati inu eyi ha kọ? lati inu ifẹkufẹ ara nyin, ti njagun ninu awọn ẹ̀ya-ara nyin?

¹ From whence come wars and fightings among you? come they not hence, even of your lusts that war in your members?

² Ẹnyin nfẹ, ẹ kò si ni: ẹnyin npa, ẹ si nṣe ilara, ẹ kò si le ni: ẹnyin njà, ẹnyin si njagun; ẹ ko ni, nitoriti ẹnyin kò bère.

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.

³ Ẹnyin bère, ẹ kò si ri gbà, nitoriti ẹnyin ṣì i bère, ki ẹnyin ki o le lò o fun ifẹkufẹ ara nyin.

³ Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts.

⁴ Ẹnyin panṣaga ọkunrin, ati panṣaga obinrin, ẹ kò mọ̀ pe ìbarẹ́ aiye ìṣọtá Ọlọrun ni? nitorina ẹnikẹni ti o ba fẹ lati jẹ́ ọrẹ aiye di ọtá Ọlọrun.

⁴ Ye 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.

⁵ Ẹnyin ṣebi iwe-mimọ́ sọ lasan pe, Ẹmí ti o fi sinu wa njowu gidigidi lori wa?

⁵ Do ye think that the scripture saith in vain, The spirit that dwelleth in us lusteth to envy?

⁶ Ṣugbọn o nfunni li ore-ọfẹ si i. Nitorina li o ṣe wipe, Ọlọrun kọ oju ija si awọn agberaga, ṣugbọn o fi ore-ọfẹ fun awọn onirẹlẹ ọkàn.

⁶ But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble.

⁷ Nitorina ẹ tẹriba fun Ọlọrun. Ẹ kọ oju ija si Èṣu, on ó si sá kuro lọdọ nyin.

⁷ Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

⁸ Ẹ sunmọ Ọlọrun, on o si sunmọ nyin, Ẹ wẹ̀ ọwọ́ nyin mọ́, ẹnyin ẹlẹṣẹ; ẹ si ṣe ọkàn nyin ni mimọ́, ẹnyin oniye meji.

⁸ Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded.

⁹ Ki inu nyin ki o bajẹ, ki ẹ si gbàwẹ, ki ẹ si mã sọkun: ẹ jẹ ki ẹrín nyin ki o di àwẹ, ati ayọ̀ nyin ki o di ikãnu.

⁹ Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness.

¹⁰ Ẹ rẹ̀ ara nyin silẹ niwaju Oluwa, on o si gbé nyin ga.

¹⁰ Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.

¹¹ Ará, ẹ máṣe sọ̀rọ ibi si ara nyin. Ẹniti o ba nsọ̀rọ ibi si arakunrin rẹ̀, ti o si ndá arakunrin rẹ̀ lẹjọ, o nsọ̀rọ ibi si ofin, o si ndá ofin lẹjọ; ṣugbọn bi iwọ ba ndá ofin lẹjọ, iwọ kì iṣe oluṣe ofin, bikoṣe onidajọ.

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 judge the law, thou art not a doer of the law, but a judge.

¹² Olofin ati onidajọ kanṣoṣo ni mbẹ, ani ẹniti ó le gbala ti o si le parun; ṣugbọn tani iwọ ti ndá ẹnikeji rẹ lẹjọ?

¹² There is one lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy: who art thou that judgest another?

¹³ Ẹ wá nisisiyi, ẹnyin tí nwipe, Loni tabi lọla awa ó lọ si ilu bayi, a o si ṣe ọdún kan nibẹ, a o si ṣòwo, a o si jère:

¹³ Go 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:

¹⁴ Nigbati ẹnyin kò mọ̀ ohun ti yio hù lọla. Kili ẹmí nyin? Ikũku sá ni nyin, ti o hàn nigba diẹ, lẹhinna a si túka lọ.

¹⁴ Whereas 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.

¹⁵ Eyi ti ẹ bá fi wipe, bi Oluwa ba fẹ, awa o wà lãye, a o si ṣe eyi tabi eyini.

¹⁵ For that ye ought to say, If the Lord will, we shall live, and do this, or that.

¹⁶ Ṣugbọn nisisiyi ẹnyin nṣeféfe ninu ifọnnu nyin: gbogbo irú iṣeféfe bẹ̃, ibi ni.

¹⁶ But now ye rejoice in your boastings: all such rejoicing is evil.

¹⁷ Nitorina ẹniti o ba mọ̀ rere iṣe ti kò si ṣe, ẹ̀ṣẹ ni fun u.

¹⁷ Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin.
