New International Version NIV
2 Codiciáis y no tenéis, por eso cometéis homicidio. Sois envidiosos y no podéis obtener, por eso combatís y hacéis guerra. No tenéis, porque no pedís.
2
You desire but do not have, so you kill. You covet but you cannot get what you want, so you quarrel and fight. You do not have because you do not ask God.
3 Pedís y no recibís, porque pedís con malos propósitos, para gastarlo en vuestros placeres.
3
When you ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, that you may spend what you get on your pleasures.
4 ¡Oh almas adúlteras! ¿No sabéis que la amistad del mundo es enemistad hacia Dios? Por tanto, el que quiere ser amigo del mundo, se constituye enemigo de Dios.
4
You adulterous people, don’t you know that friendship with the world means enmity against God? Therefore, anyone who chooses to be a friend of the world becomes an enemy of God.
5 ¿O pensáis que la Escritura dice en vano: El celosamente anhela el Espíritu que ha hecho morar en nosotros ?
5
Or do you think Scripture says without reason that he jealously longs for the spirit he has caused to dwell in us ?
6 Pero El da mayor gracia. Por eso dice: DIOS RESISTE A LOS SOBERBIOS PERO DA GRACIA A LOS HUMILDES.
6
But he gives us more grace. That is why Scripture says: “God opposes the proud but shows favor to the humble.”
7 Por tanto, someteos a Dios. Resistid, pues, al diablo y huirá de vosotros.
7
Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
8 Acercaos a Dios, y El se acercará a vosotros. Limpiad vuestras manos, pecadores; y vosotros de doble ánimo, purificad vuestros corazones.
8
Come near to God and he will come near to you. Wash your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded.
9 Afligíos, lamentad y llorad; que vuestra risa se torne en llanto y vuestro gozo en tristeza.
9
Grieve, mourn and wail. Change your laughter to mourning and your joy to gloom.
10 Humillaos en la presencia del Señor y El os exaltará.
10
Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up.
11 Hermanos, no habléis mal los unos de los otros. El que habla mal de un hermano o juzga a su hermano, habla mal de la ley y juzga a la ley; pero si tú juzgas a la ley, no eres cumplidor de la ley, sino juez de ella.
11
Brothers and sisters, do not slander one another. Anyone who speaks against a brother or sister or judges them speaks against the law and judges it. When you judge the law, you are not keeping it, but sitting in judgment on it.
12 Sólo hay un dador de la ley y juez, que es poderoso para salvar y para destruir; pero tú, ¿quién eres que juzgas a tu prójimo?
12
There is only one Lawgiver and Judge, the one who is able to save and destroy. But you—who are you to judge your neighbor?
