1 PBP Ila paiokah oduaonyo posibaroong to najari riantara emu? Ndaukah uo nodua ila hawa nafsumiu tono sibaro rilalong angota-anggota alae miu? BSB BSB: What causes conflicts and quarrels among you? Don’t they come from the passions at war within you?
2 PBP Emu moluar sesuatu, tapi ndau meteduaonyo, maka emu mepatei. Emu mepee sule o ndau meteduaonyo, maka emu mosibaro o mosipatei. Emu ndau metedua' karna emu ndau momongi. BSB BSB: You 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.
3 PBP Atau, emu momongi, tapi ndau naapate karna emu momongi sosono alasan tona salah yaitu sura mapaasanang hawa nafsumu. BSB BSB: And when you do ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, that you may squander it on your pleasures.
4 PBP Hai, emu too nenzing, ndau niotoimiukah bahwa mositagu sono dunia artinyo nosimusu' sosono ALLAH TA ALLAH? Karna uo, sisee to noluar montagu sono dunia, io mogutu alaenyo musu ALLAH TA ALLAH. BSB BSB: You 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.
5 PBP Apakah emu nomikir Kitab suci tanpa alasan nebura," Roh toni abasa' nu ALLAH TA ALLAH rilalong alaeto ni selua'o-Nyo sono nogirang"? BSB BSB: Or do you think the Scripture says without reason that the Spirit He caused to dwell in us yearns with envy?
6 PBP Namun, ALLAH TA ALLAH nombagi anugerah tonalabi moje. Karna uo, kitab suci nebura," ALLAH TA ALLAH manasu sosono too tono tumpo', tapi mombagia anugera sosono too toneempeng sule." BSB BSB: But He gives us more grace. This is why it says: “God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble.”
7 PBP Karna uo, sarakanomo alaemu sosono ALLAH TA ALLAH. Pangewamo sono setan, maka io kana moluminjo' ilamiu. BSB BSB: Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
8 PBP Maanta'omo sosono ALLAH TA ALLAH, o Io kana maanta' sono emu. Bersikanomo palemu, hai too-too tonodosa o murnikanomo sulemu, hai too-too tonodoruo aambo.' BSB BSB: Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded.
9 PBP Prihatin, berduka o meratapomo; alea omo tataamu majari ratapan o asasanangomu majari potumangisong. BSB BSB: Grieve, mourn, and weep. Turn your laughter to mourning, and your joy to gloom.
10 PBP Empena'omo sulemu ri tolo nu Siopu, maka Io kana mepe pangkat'a emu. BSB BSB: Humble yourselves before the Lord, and He will exalt you.
11 PBP Sampesuvu-sampesuvu, nyaa emu meburaa hal to ndau mombosi ri antara miu. Too tonomeilu to marate tentang sampesuvunyo, atau mepehakimi sampesuvunyo, mebura mangeva hukum o mepehakimi hukum. Ono emu mepehakimi hukum, emu ndaumo pelaku hukum, melainkan hakimonyo. BSB BSB: Brothers, 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.
12 PBP Hanya diang soung pombagi hukum o hakim yaitu Io toposalamat o topo binasa; tapi sisee emu sehingga emu mepehakimi tagumu? Kehendak ALLAH TA ALLAH lalong sagala rancana nu manusia? BSB BSB: There is only one Lawgiver and Judge, the One who is able to save and destroy. But who are you to judge your neighbor?
13 PBP Sa'o-sa'o, eepemo hai emu tonebura, "Eleo moo atau insangana ami kana menyau ri kota moo o nao, momoiya ri uo salama sapariama, mobalu'-balu', o modua untung," BSB BSB: Come 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.” 14 PBP Padahal ndau niotoi miu sapa tomajari insangana. Apakah artinyo petutubumu? Petutubumu nao selio oobol to nembu'a nyapoini, o lalu napada. BSB BSB: You 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.
15 PBP Jari, emu seharusnya mebura," Ono Siopu moluar, ami kana netubu o mokaraja moo atau nao." BSB BSB: Instead, you ought to say, “If the Lord is willing, we will live and do this or that.”
16 PBP Tapi sa'o-sa'o, emu masanang lalong tumpo'omu; kebanggaan selio uo ialah narate. BSB BSB: As it is, you boast in your proud intentions. All such boasting is evil.
17 PBP Jari, ono soung too mootoi iyama'o mogutu mombosi, tapi io ndau mogutunyo, io modosa. BSB BSB: Anyone, then, who knows the right thing to do, yet fails to do it, is guilty of sin.
