Лицо благодати - Face of Grace

Библия зеркало - Mirror Bible. Послание Иакова - James , 4 глава (в процессе перевода)

Глава 4

4:1 What is it that triggers disputes and fighting? Is it not selfish desires and greedy agendas that 1both parties host within themselves? Hence wars are born. It is a global identity crisis. (The word, 1enteuthen, means, repeated on both sides; also translated, hence, from this point. This is in such contrast to the wisdom from above, see 1:17 & 3:17. Any sense of lack causes you to forget what manner of person you are, and how perfect and complete and without lack you are by design, as mirrored in Christ. This is again the typical arena of the law of works and striving against the law of perfect liberty.)

Синодальный перевод

4:1 Откуда у вас вражды и распри? не отсюда ли, от вожделений ваших, воюющих в членах ваших?

Перевод с Mirror Bible

4:1

4:2 You allow your heart to become so consumed with longing for something until you are ready to kill for it. Then you are still not satisfied. What you want keeps evading you; you quarrel and strive, and you just can’t get it. If you are desperately unfulfilled why don’t you simply ask God to give you what you need? (This is in such contrast to the wisdom from above, see 3:17. Also James 1:5, The only thing you could possibly lack is wisdom [One might sometimes feel challenged beyond the point of sanity]; however, make your request in such a way that you draw directly from the source [not filtered through other opinions]. God is the origin and author of wisdom; he intertwines your thoughts with good judgment. His gifts are available to all, without regret.)

4:2 Желаете — и не имеете; убиваете и завидуете — и не можете достигнуть; препираетесь и враждуете — и не имеете, потому что не просите.

4:2

4:3 You have asked, but God seems reluctant to give it to you, you may say. But when your motivation is to get something just so that you can squander it on yourself, you are doing it all wrong. (This is like expecting God to support your own futile efforts to justify yourself. See James 1:2-4, 17, 18, 23-25.)

4:3 Просите, и не получаете, потому что просите не на добро, а чтобы употребить для ваших вожделений.

4:3

4:4 Adultery, whether it is the husband or the wife who does the flirting, is destructive. Can’t you see that even though the world system might approve of such behavior, it is contrary to God’s design for you? Whose friend do you want to be? Are you prepared to distance yourself from God [and the life of your design] just to win the plastic applause of the world?

4:4 Прелюбодеи и прелюбодейцы! не знаете ли, что дружба с миром есть вражда против Бога? Итак, кто хочет быть другом миру, тот становится врагом Богу.

4:4

4:5 Scripture is not quoting empty words when it states that God yearns with jealous expectation over the spirit which he has made to inhabit us.

4:5 Или вы думаете, что напрасно говорит Писание: "до ревности любит дух, живущий в нас"?

4:5

4:6 His gift of grace [1:17] is in direct opposition to the vanity of the proud mindset of self effort, whereby people strive to prove themselves as superior to others. Gift and reward are opposites. Humility attracts grace.

4:6 Но тем большую дает благодать; посему и сказано: "Бог гордым противится, а смиренным дает благодать".

4:6

4:7 Your most effective defense against any diabolical mindset, is to yield yourselves in total abandonment to God, and there encounter his dream-life for you. You will witness how effortlessly those thoughts flee from you. (The word diabollos, from diaballo, dia, because of, and ballo, to cast down; to accuse, to make false and defamatory statements against someone. This points to the devilish fallen mindset-system which has engaged generations in the blind-fold mode of pride and accusation, by not seeing the image of God in human life.)

4:7 Итак покоритесь Богу; противостаньте диаволу, и убежит от вас.

4:7

4:8 Snuggle up to the warm embrace of God; experience his closeness. The sinner can come with all stains washed from his hands; the double-minded can come with a purified heart. (In Christ every definition of distance or delay is canceled.)

4:8 Приблизьтесь к Богу, и приблизится к вам; очистите руки, грешники, исправьте сердца, двоедушные.

4:8

4:9 This is not a mere blase yielding. Realizing the misery that you have brought upon yourself and others is often accompanied by intense grief and weeping. This is no place for superficial laughter and make-belief joy; nor any occasion for boasting. (Your futile efforts to justify yourself through striving and fighting only reinforce your nakedness. The perfect law of liberty, unveiling the mirror message declares your redeemed innocence through the finished work of Christ.)

4:9 Сокрушайтесь, плачьте и рыдайте; смех ваш да обратится в плач, и радость — в печаль.

4:9

4:10 Put down your own efforts to fight for your rights; let him lift you up to the dignity of his 1presence. (The word translated, presence, 1enopion means in the gaze of; face to face. See your own face reflected in his. There is no higher elevation to engage in.)

4:10 Смиритесь пред Господом, и вознесет вас.
