Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

τίς σοφὸς καὶ ἐπιστήμων ἐν ὑμῖν? δειξάτω

who_‹is› wise and understanding among you_all ˱him˲_/let/_show

James is not looking for information. He is using the question form to express a condition. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this question by translating this as a conditional statement. Alternate translation: [If anyone is wise and understanding among you, let him show]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet

σοφὸς καὶ ἐπιστήμων

wise and understanding

The words wise and understanding mean similar things. James is using them together for emphasis. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this connection by translating them with a single expression. Alternate translation: [truly wise]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

δειξάτω ἐκ τῆς καλῆς ἀναστροφῆς τὰ ἔργα αὐτοῦ ἐν πραΰτητι σοφίας

˱him˲_/let/_show out_of his good conduct the works ˱of˲_him in /the/_gentleness ˱of˲_wisdom

If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the abstract nouns works, conduct, humility, and wisdom by stating the ideas behind them with equivalent expressions. Alternate translation: [Let him show by conducting himself well, and by being humble as a wise person should be, that he does what God wants him to do]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

ἐν πραΰτητι σοφίας

among in /the/_gentleness ˱of˲_wisdom

James is using the possessive form to describe humility that comes from wisdom. Alternate translation: [in the humility that comes from wisdom] or [with the humble attitude that comes from being wise]
