New Testament
James
Unde bella et lites in vobis? nonne hinc: ex concupiscentiis vestris, quæ militant in membris vestris?
From whence are wars and contentions among you? Are they not hence, from your concupiscences, which war in your members?
Unde bellos et lites in vos? Nonne hinc: ex concupiscentias vestro, que milita in membros vestro?
concupiscitis, et non habetis: occiditis, et zelatis: et non potestis adipisci: litigatis, et belligeratis, et non habetis, propter quod non postulatis.
You covet, and have not: you kill and envy and cannot obtain. You contend and war, and you have not: because you ask not.
Concupisce, et non habe: occide, et zela: et non pote adipiscor: litiga, et belligera, et non habe, propter quod non postulatum.
Petitis, et non accipitis: eo quod male petatis: ut in concupiscentiis vestris insumatis.
You ask and receive not: because you ask amiss, that you may consume it on your concupiscences.
Pete, et non accipe: eo quod male pete: ut in concupiscentias vestro insume.
Adulteri, nescitis quia amicitia hujus mundi inimica est Dei? quicumque ergo voluerit amicus esse sæculi hujus, inimicus Dei constituitur.
Adulterers, know you not that the friendship of this world is the enemy of God? Whosoever therefore will be a friend of this world becometh an enemy of God.
Adulterios, ne sci quia amicitia de hoc de mundo inimico es de Deo? Omni ergo vol amico es de saeculo de hoc, inimico de Deo constitue.
An putatis quia inaniter Scriptura dicat: Ad invidiam concupiscit spiritus qui habitat in vobis?
Or do you think that the scripture saith in vain: To envy doth the spirit covet which dwelleth in you?
An puta quia inaniter Scriptura que dic: ad invidia spiritu qui habita in vos concupisce?
majorem autem dat gratiam. Propter quod dicit: Deus superbis resistit, humilibus autem dat gratiam.
But he giveth greater grace. Wherefore he saith: God resisteth the proud and giveth grace to the humble.
Magna autem da gratia. Propter quod dic: deo ad superbo resiste, ad humili autem da gratia.
Subditi ergo estote Deo, resistite autem diabolo, et fugiet a vobis.
Be subject therefore to God. But resist the devil: and he will fly from you.
Subdito ergo es ad Deo, resiste autem ad diabolo, et fuge ab vos.
Appropinquate Deo, et appropinquabit vobis. Emundate manus, peccatores: et purificate corda, duplices animo.
Draw nigh to God: and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners, and purify your hearts, ye double minded.
Appropinqua ad Deo, et appropinqua ad vos. Emundase manus, peccatores: et purifica cordes, duplici animo.
Miseri estote, et lugete, et plorate: risus vester in luctum convertatur, et gaudium in mœrorem.
Be afflicted and mourn and weep: let your laughter be turned into mourning and your joy into sorrow.
Misero es, et luge, et plora: risu vestro in luctu converte, et gaudio in moerore.
Humiliamini in conspectu Domini, et exaltabit vos.
Be humbled in the sight of the Lord: and he will exalt you.
Humilia in conspectu de Domino, et exalta vos.
Nolite detrahere alterutrum fratres. Qui detrahit fratri, aut qui judicat fratrem suum, detrahit legi, et judicat legem. Si autem judicas legem, non es factor legis, sed judex.
Detract not one another, my brethren. He that detracteth his brother, or he that judgeth his brother, detracteth the law and judgeth the law. But if thou judge the law, thou art not a doer of the law, but a judge.
Ne vol detrahe alterutra fratres. Qui detrahe ad fratre, aut qui iudica fratre suo, detrahe ad lege, et iudica lege. Si autem iudica lege, non es factore de lege, sed iudice.
Unus est legislator et judex, qui potest perdere et liberare.
There is one lawgiver and judge, that is able to destroy and to deliver.
Uno es legislatore et iudice, qui pote perde et libera.
Tu autem quis es, qui judicas proximum? Ecce nunc qui dicitis: Hodie, aut crastino ibimus in illam civitatem, et faciemus ibi quidem annum, et mercabimur, et lucrum faciemus:
But who art thou that judgest thy neighbour? Behold, now you that say: To-day or to-morrow we will go into such a city, and there we will spend a year and will traffic and make our gain.
Te autem qui es, qui iudica proximo? Ecce nunc qui dic: hodie, aut crastino i in illa civitate, et fac ibi quidem anno, et mercor, et lucro fac:
qui ignoratis quid erit in crastino.
Whereas you know not what shall be on the morrow.
Qui ignora quid es in crastino.
Quæ est enim vita vestra? vapor est ad modicum parens, et deinceps exterminabitur; pro eo ut dicatis: Si Dominus voluerit. Et: Si vixerimus, faciemus hoc, aut illud.
For what is your life? It is a vapour which appeareth for a little while and afterwards shall vanish away. For that you should say: If the Lord will, and, If we shall live, we will do this or that.
Que es nam vita vestro? Vapore es ad modico parente, et deinceps extermina; pro eo ut dic: si Domino vol. Et: si vive, fac hoc, aut illo.
Nunc autem exsultatis in superbiis vestris. Omnis exsultatio talis, maligna est.
But now you rejoice in your arrogancies. All such rejoicing is wicked.
Nunc autem exsulta in superbo vestro. Omni exsultatione tale, maligno es.
Scienti igitur bonum facere, et non facienti, peccatum est illi.
To him therefore who knoweth to do good and doth it not, to him it is sin.
Ad sciento ergo bono facere, et non fac, peccato es ad illo.
