Santiago 5
1 Eya orain abratsác, nigar eguiçue, vrhubi eguiten duçuela çuen miseria helduren çaizquiçuenacgatic.
Listen to me, you rich people, weep and wail for the miseries that are coming upon you!
2 Çuen abrastassunac vsteldu dirade, çuen abillamenduac cerrenez betheac dirade.
Your riches have wasted away, and your clothes have become moth-eaten.
3 Çuen vrrhea eta çuen cilharra herdoildu da, eta hayén herdoildurác testificaturen du çuen contra, eta harc ditu ianen çuen haraguiac suac beçala: thesaurizatu duçue azquen egunetaco.
Your gold and silver are rusted; and the rust on them will be evidence against you, and will eat into your flesh. It was fire, so to speak, that you stored up for yourselves in these last days.
4 Huná, çuen landác errequeitatu dituzten languilén alocairu çueçaz defraudatu içan dena, oihuz dago, eta errequeitaçalén oihuac armadén Iaunaren beharrietan sarthu dirade.
Listen! The wages you have held back from the labourers who mowed your fields are crying out against you, and the outcries of your harvesters have reached the ears of the Lord of Hosts!
5 Deliciotan vici içan çarete lurraren gainean eta çuen atseguinac hartu vkan dituçue, eta çuen bihotzac ressasiatu vkan dituçue sacrificiotaco egunean beçala.
You have lived on earth a life of extravagance and luxury; you have indulged your fancies in a time of bloodshed.
6 Condemnatu eta hil vkan duçue iustoa: eta eztrauçue resistitzen.
You have condemned, you have murdered, the righteous one! Must not God be opposed to you?
7 Çareten bada patient, anayeác, Iaunaren aduenimendurano. Huná, laboraria lurreco fructu preciosoaren beguira egoiten da, patientqui haren beguira dagoela goiceco eta arratseco vria recebi deçaqueno.
Be patient, then, friends, until the coming of the Lord. Even the farmer has to wait for the precious fruit of the earth, watching over it patiently, until it has had the spring and summer rains.
8 Çareten patient çuec-ere eta confirmaitzaçue çuen bihotzac: ecen Iaunaren aduenimendua hurbil da.
And you must be patient also, and not be discouraged; for the Lord’s coming is near.
9 Etzaiteztela arrangura elkarren contra, anayeác, condemna etzaiteztençát: huná, iugea borthaitzinean dago.
Do not make complaints against one another, friends, or judgment will be passed on you. The judge is already standing at the door!
10 Ene anayeác, har-itzaçue afflictionetaco eta patientiataco exemplutan Prophetác, cein minçatu baitirade Iaunaren icenean.
Friends, as an example of the patient endurance of suffering, take the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord.
11 Huná, dohatsu eduquiten ditugu afflictione suffritzen dutenac: Iob-en patientiá ençun vkan duçue, eta Iaunaren fina ikussi duçue, nola guciz misericordioso den Iauna eta gogabera.
We count those who displayed such endurance blessed! You have heard, too, of Job’s endurance, and have seen what the Lord’s purpose was, for “the Lord is full of pity and compassion.”
12 Bada gauça ororen aitzinetic, ene anayeác, iura ezteçaçuela ez ceruäz, ez lurraz, ez edocein berce iuramenduz: baina biz çuen baya, Bay: eta çuen eza, Ez: condemnationetara eror etzaiteztençát.
Above all things, my friends, never take an oath, either by heaven, or by earth, or by anything else. Let your “Yes” suffice for yes, and “No” for no, so that you may escape condemnation.
13 Affligitzen da cembeit çuen artean? othoitz begui: bihotz aleguerataco da cembeit? canta beça.
If anyone of you is in trouble, they should pray; if anyone is happy, they should sing hymns.
14 Eri da cembeit çuen artean? erekar bitza Eliçaco ancianoac, eta othoitz beguité harengatic, vnctatzen dutela hura olioz Iaunaren icenean.
If anyone of you is ill, they should send for the church elders, and let them pray over them, anointing them with oil in the name of the Lord.
15 Eta fedezco orationeac saluaturen du eria, eta eraiquiren du hura Iaunac: eta baldin bekaturic eguin badu barkaturen çaizquió.
The prayer offered in faith will save the person who is sick, and the Lord will raise them from their bed; and if they have committed sins, they will be forgiven.
16 Confessa ietzoçue batac berceari çuen faltác, eta othoitz eguiçue batac berceagatic, senda çaiteztençát: ecen anhitz balio du iustoaren efficaciorequin den orationeac.
Therefore, confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, so that you may be cured. Great is the power of a good person’s fervent prayer.
17 Elias cen gu bay passionén suiectionetaco guiçona, eta othoiztez othoitz eguin ceçan, ezlaguian vriric, eta etzeçan eguin vriric lurraren gainean hirur vrthez eta sey hilebethez.
Elijah was only human like ourselves, but, when he prayed fervently that it might not rain, no rain fell on the land for three and a half years.
18 Eta berriz othoitz eguin ceçan, eta ceruäc vri eman ceçan, eta lurrac bere fructua ekar ceçan.
And, when he prayed again, the clouds brought rain, and the land bore crops.
19 Anayeác, baldin çuetaric cembeit eguiatic errebela badadi, eta hura conuerti badeça cembeitec,
My friends, should one of you be led astray from the truth, and someone bring them back again,
20 Iaquin beça ecen conuerti eraci duqueenac bekatorebat bere bideco errebelamendutic, saluaturen duqueela arimabat heriotaric, eta bekatu mulçoa estaliren duqueela.
be sure that the person who brings a sinner back from their mistaken ways will save that person’s soul from death, and will cover a multitude of sins.
