James 5
1 Come now, you rich, weep and howl for your miseries that are coming on you.
Tena, e te hunga taonga, e tangi koutou, aue ki o koutou mate meake nei puta mai.
2 Your riches are corrupted and your garments are moth-eaten.
Kua pirau o koutou taonga, kua kainga o koutou kakahu e te huhu.
3 Your gold and your silver are corroded, and their corrosion will be for a testimony against you and will eat your flesh like fire. You have laid up your treasure in the last days.
Kua waikuratia ta koutou koura me ta koutou hiriwa; ko te waikura ano o aua mea hei kaiwhakaatu i to koutou he, hei kai hoki i o koutou kikokiko, ano he kapura. Kua pae na i a koutou he taonga mo nga ra whakamutunga.
4 Behold, the wages of the laborers who mowed your fields, which you have kept back by fraud, cry out; and the cries of those who reaped have entered into the ears of the Lord of Armies.
Nana, kei te karanga te utu i kaiponuhia e koutou ma nga kaimahi nana i kokoti a koutou mara, kua tae atu ano hoki nga karanga a nga kaikokoti ki nga taringa o te Ariki o nga mano tini.
5 You have lived in luxury on the earth, and taken your pleasure. You have nourished your hearts as in a day of slaughter.
Kua kai koutou i nga kai papai i runga i te whenua, whaia ana e koutou a te tinana whakaahuareka; atawhaitia ana e koutou o koutou ngakau, me te mea ano ko te ra okanga tenei.
6 You have condemned and you have murdered the righteous one. He does not resist you.
Whakataka ana e koutou ki te he, patua iho te mea tika, kihai ano ia i pehi atu i ta koutou.
7 Be patient therefore, brothers, until the coming of the Lord. Behold, the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth, being patient over it, until it receives the early and late rain.
Na, tatari marie koutou, e oku teina, ki te haerenga mai o te Ariki. Na, tumanako tonu te kaingaki ki nga hua utu nui o te whenua, he mea tatari marie atu nana, kia tae mai ra ano to mua me to muri ua.
8 You also be patient. Establish your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is at hand.
Tatari marie ano hoki koutou; kia u o koutou ngakau: kua tata hoki te haerenga mai o te Ariki.
9 Do not grumble, brothers, against one another, so that you will not be judged. Behold, the judge stands at the door.
Kaua e amuamu tetahi ki tetahi, e oku teina; kei whakataka koutou ki te he: nana, kei nga tatau te kaiwhakawa e tu ana.
10 Take, brothers, for an example of suffering and of perseverance, the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord.
Ko nga poropiti i korero nei i runga i te ingoa o te Ariki, waiho ratou, e oku teina, hei tauira mo te whakamanawanui ki nga kino, mo te tatari marie.
11 Behold, we call them blessed who endured. You have heard of the perseverance of Job and have seen the Lord in the outcome, and how the Lord is full of compassion and mercy.
Nana, ki ta tatou he hari te hunga e whakamanawanui ana. kua rongo koutou ki te manawanui o Hopa, kua kite hoki i to te Ariki whakamutunga, he nui to te Ariki aroha, me tana mahi tohu.
12 But above all things, my brothers, do not swear—not by heaven, or by the earth, or by any other oath; but let your “yes” be “yes”, and your “no”, “no”, so that you do not fall into hypocrisy.
Ko te tuatahi ia o nga mea katoa, e oku teina, kaua te rangi, kaua te whenua, kaua tetahi atu oati, e oatitia e koutou: engari me ae ta koutou ae, me kahore ta koutou kahore; kei taka koutou ki te whakawa.
13 Is any among you suffering? Let him pray. Is any cheerful? Let him sing praises.
Ki te pangia tetahi o koutou e te mamae, me inoi. Ki te koa te ngakau o tetahi, me waiata.
14 Is any among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the assembly, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord;
Ki te turoro tetahi i roto i a koutou, me karanga e ia ki nga kaumatua o te hahi; a ma ratou e inoi ki runga ki a ia, me te whakawahi ano i a ia ki te hinu i runga i te ingoa o te Ariki:
15 and the prayer of faith will heal him who is sick, and the Lord will raise him up. If he has committed sins, he will be forgiven.
A e ora te turoro i te inoi whakapono, ma te Ariki ano ia e whakaara ake; ki te mea hoki kua mahi hara ia, ka murua tona hara.
16 Confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The insistent prayer of a righteous person is powerfully effective.
Whakina o koutou he tetahi ki tetahi, me inoi ano koutou tetahi mo tetahi, kia ora ai o koutou mate. Nui atu te mana o te inoi kaha a te tangata tika.
17 Elijah was a man with a nature like ours, and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain, and it did not rain on the earth for three years and six months.
He tangata a Iraia, he rite tahi te ngakau ki o tatou, heoi ka kaha nei tana inoi kia kaua e ua; kore ake he ua ki runga ki te whenua, a e toru nga tau, e ono nga marama.
18 He prayed again, and the sky gave rain, and the earth produced its fruit.
Inoi ana ano ia, a ka homai he ua e te rangi, na hua ana nga hua o te whenua.
19 Brothers, if any among you wanders from the truth and someone turns him back,
E oku teina, ki te kotiti ke tetahi o koutou i te pono, a ka meinga e tetahi kia tahuri mai ano.
20 let him know that he who turns a sinner from the error of his way will save a soul from death and will cover a multitude of sins.
Kia matau ia, ko te tangata i tahuri ai te tangata hara i te he o tona ara, e ora i a ia he wairua kei mate, he tini ano nga hara ka hipokina e ia.
