| 1 | D'où viennent les luttes, et d'ou viennent les querelles parmi vous ? N'est-ce pas de vos passions qui combattent dans vos membres ? | From whence come wars and fightings among you? come they not hence, even of your lusts that war in your members? | Whence [come] wars and whence [come] fightings among you? [come they] not hence, [even] of your pleasures that war in your members? |
| 2 | Vous convoitez, et vous ne possédez pas ; vous êtes meurtriers et envieux, et vous ne pouvez pas obtenir ; vous avez des querelles et des luttes, et vous ne possédez pas, parce que vous ne demandez pas. | 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. | Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and covet, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war; ye have not, because ye ask not. |
| 3 | Vous demandez, et vous ne recevez pas, parce que vous demandez mal, dans le but de satisfaire vos passions. | Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts. | Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may spend [it] in your pleasures. |
| 4 | Adultères que vous êtes ! ne savez-vous pas que l'amour du monde est inimitié contre Dieu ? Celui donc qui veut être ami du monde se rend ennemi de Dieu. | 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. | Ye adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? Whosoever therefore would be a friend of the world maketh himself an enemy of God. |
| 5 | Croyez-vous que l'Écriture parle en vain ? C'est avec jalousie que Dieu chérit l'esprit qu'il a fait habiter en nous. | Do ye think that the scripture saith in vain, The spirit that dwelleth in us lusteth to envy? | Or think ye that the scripture speaketh in vain? Doth the spirit which he made to dwell in us long unto envying? |
| 6 | Il accorde, au contraire, une grâce plus excellente ; c'est pourquoi l'Écriture dit : Dieu résiste aux l'orgueilleux, Mais il fait grâce aux humbles. | But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble. | But he giveth more grace. Wherefore [the scripture] saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace to the humble. |
| 7 | Soumettez-vous donc à Dieu ; résistez au diable, et il fuira loin de vous. | Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. | Be subject therefore unto God; but resist the devil, and he will flee from you. |
| 8 | Approchez-vous de Dieu, et il s'approchera de vous. Nettoyez vos mains, pécheurs ; purifiez vos coeurs, hommes irrésolus. | Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded. | Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye doubleminded. |
| 9 | Sentez votre misère ; soyez dans le deuil et dans les larmes ; que votre rire se change en deuil, et votre joie en tristesse. | Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness. | Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness. |
| 10 | Humiliez-vous devant le Seigneur, et il vous élèvera. | Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up. | Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall exalt you. |
| 11 | Ne parlez point mal les uns des autres, frères. Celui qui parle mal d'un frère, ou qui juge son frère, parle mal de la loi et juge la loi. Or, si tu juges la loi, tu n'es pas observateur de la loi, mais tu en es juge. | 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. | Speak not one against another, brethren. He that speaketh against a brother, or judgeth his brother, speaketh against the law, and judgeth the law: but if thou judgest the law, thou art not a doer of the law, but a judge. |
| 12 | Un seul est législateur et juge, c'est celui qui peut sauver et perdre ; mais toi, qui es-tu, qui juges le prochain ? | There is one lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy: who art thou that judgest another? | One [only] is the lawgiver and judge, [even] he who is able to save and to destroy: but who art thou that judgest thy neighbor? |
| 13 | A vous maintenant, qui dites : Aujourd'hui ou demain nous irons dans telle ville, nous y passerons une année, nous trafiquerons, et nous gagnerons ! | 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: | Come now, ye that say, To-day or to-morrow we will go into this city, and spend a year there, and trade, and get gain: |
| 14 | Vous qui ne savez pas ce qui arrivera demain ! car, qu'est-ce votre vie ? Vous êtes une vapeur qui paraît pour un peu de temps, et qui ensuite disparaît. | 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. | whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. What is your life? For ye are a vapor, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away. |
| 15 | Vous devriez dire, au contraire : Si Dieu le veut, nous vivrons, et nous ferons ceci ou cela. | For that ye ought to say, If the Lord will, we shall live, and do this, or that. | For that ye ought to say, If the Lord will, we shall both live, and do this or that. |
| 16 | Mais maintenant vous vous glorifiez dans vos pensées orgueilleuses. C'est chose mauvaise que de se glorifier de la sorte. | But now ye rejoice in your boastings: all such rejoicing is evil. | But now ye glory in your vauntings: all such glorying is evil. |
| 17 | Celui donc qui sait faire ce qui est bien, et qui ne le fait pas, commet un péché. | Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin. | To him therefore that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin. |
