1:14 Like hooks for fishing or traps for hunting, desires . . . entice us into sin and drag us away from faithfulness to God.
Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-contrast
δὲ
but
James is using the word But to indicate a contrast between the wrong idea that God might tempt someone and the truth that each person is tempted by his own desire. This is actually a strong contrast, and you may wish to use a strong expression for it. Alternate translation: “No, on the contrary,”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
ἕκαστος & πειράζεται ὑπὸ τῆς ἰδίας ἐπιθυμίας, ἐξελκόμενος καὶ δελεαζόμενος
each & /is_being/_tempted by his own lust /being/_drawn_away and /being/_enticed
If it would be helpful in your language, you could express these passive phrases by stating each of these things with active verbal forms. Alternate translation: “each person’s own desire tempts him by enticing him and then dragging him away”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / personification
ἕκαστος & πειράζεται ὑπὸ τῆς ἰδίας ἐπιθυμίας, ἐξελκόμενος καὶ δελεαζόμενος
each & /is_being/_tempted by his own lust /being/_drawn_away and /being/_enticed
James is speaking of desire as if it were a living thing that could actively tempt people, entice them, and drag them away captive. Alternate translation: “each person wants to do wrong when he desires something that he should not desire and, because he is attracted to that thing, he commits sin and then cannot stop sinning”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / events
ἐξελκόμενος καὶ δελεαζόμενος
/being/_drawn_away and /being/_enticed
Since the word translated as enticed often means to use bait to trap prey, James may be stressing the result (the captured prey being dragged away) by speaking of it before the method that was used to achieve it (baiting a trap). It may be helpful to your readers to indicate that the method came before the result. Alternate translation: “enticed and dragged away” or “dragged away after being enticed”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
ἐξελκόμενος καὶ δελεαζόμενος
/being/_drawn_away and /being/_enticed
James is speaking of temptation as if the person who gave in to it were captured in a baited trap. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could translate this metaphor as a simile. It may also be helpful to begin a new sentence here. Alternate translation: “It is as if the wrong thing he desired were bait in a trap that caught him so that a hunter could then drag him away”
