James 5
1 Come now, you rich, weep and howl for your miseries that are coming on you.
αγε νυν οι πλουσιοι κλαυσατε ολολυζοντεσ επι ταισ ταλαιπωριαισ υμων ταισ επερχομεναισ
2 Your riches are corrupted and your garments are moth-eaten.
ο πλουτοσ υμων σεσηπεν και τα ιματια υμων σητοβρωτα γεγονεν
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.
ο χρυσοσ υμων και ο αργυροσ κατιωται και ο ιοσ αυτων εισ μαρτυριον υμιν εσται και φαγεται τασ σαρκασ υμων ωσ πυρ εθησαυρισατε εν εσχαταισ ημεραισ
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.
ιδου ο μισθοσ των εργατων των αμησαντων τασ χωρασ υμων ο απεστερημενοσ αφ υμων κραζει και αι βοαι των θερισαντων εισ τα ωτα κυριου σαβαωθ εισεληλυθασιν
5 You have lived in luxury on the earth, and taken your pleasure. You have nourished your hearts as in a day of slaughter.
ετρυφησατε επι τησ γησ και εσπαταλησατε εθρεψατε τασ καρδιασ υμων ωσ εν ημερα σφαγησ
6 You have condemned and you have murdered the righteous one. He doesn’t resist you.
κατεδικασατε εφονευσατε τον δικαιον ουκ αντιτασσεται υμιν
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.
μακροθυμησατε ουν αδελφοι εωσ τησ παρουσιασ του κυριου ιδου ο γεωργοσ εκδεχεται τον τιμιον καρπον τησ γησ μακροθυμων επ αυτον εωσ λαβη υετον πρωιμον και οψιμον
8 You also be patient. Establish your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is at hand.
μακροθυμησατε και υμεισ στηριξατε τασ καρδιασ υμων οτι η παρουσια του κυριου ηγγικεν
9 Don’t grumble, brothers, against one another, so that you won’t be judged. Behold, the judge stands at the door.
μη στεναζετε κατ αλληλων αδελφοι ινα μη κριθητε ιδου ο κριτησ προ των θυρων εστηκεν
10 Take, brothers, for an example of suffering and of perseverance, the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord.
υποδειγμα λαβετε αδελφοι μου τησ κακοπαθειασ και τησ μακροθυμιασ τουσ προφητασ οι ελαλησαν τω ονοματι κυριου
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.
ιδου μακαριζομεν τουσ υπομενοντασ την υπομονην ιωβ ηκουσατε και το τελοσ κυριου ιδετε οτι πολυσπλαγχνοσ εστιν και οικτιρμων
12 But above all things, my brothers, don’t 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 don’t fall into hypocrisy.
προ παντων δε αδελφοι μου μη ομνυετε μητε τον ουρανον μητε την γην μητε αλλον τινα ορκον ητω δε υμων το ναι ναι και το ου ου ινα μη εισ υποκρισιν πεσητε
13 Is any among you suffering? Let him pray. Is any cheerful? Let him sing praises.
κακοπαθει τισ εν υμιν προσευχεσθω ευθυμει τισ ψαλλετω
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;
ασθενει τισ εν υμιν προσκαλεσασθω τουσ πρεσβυτερουσ τησ εκκλησιασ και προσευξασθωσαν επ αυτον αλειψαντεσ αυτον ελαιω εν τω ονοματι του κυριου
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.
και η ευχη τησ πιστεωσ σωσει τον καμνοντα και εγερει αυτον ο κυριοσ καν αμαρτιασ η πεποιηκωσ αφεθησεται αυτω
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.
εξομολογεισθε αλληλοισ τα παραπτωματα και ευχεσθε υπερ αλληλων οπωσ ιαθητε πολυ ισχυει δεησισ δικαιου ενεργουμενη
17 Elijah was a man with a nature like ours, and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain, and it didn’t rain on the earth for three years and six months.
ηλιασ ανθρωποσ ην ομοιοπαθησ ημιν και προσευχη προσηυξατο του μη βρεξαι και ουκ εβρεξεν επι τησ γησ ενιαυτουσ τρεισ και μηνασ εξ
18 He prayed again, and the sky gave rain, and the earth produced its fruit.
και παλιν προσηυξατο και ο ουρανοσ υετον εδωκεν και η γη εβλαστησεν τον καρπον αυτησ
19 Brothers, if any among you wanders from the truth and someone turns him back,
αδελφοι εαν τισ εν υμιν πλανηθη απο τησ αληθειασ και επιστρεψη τισ αυτον
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.
γινωσκετω οτι ο επιστρεψασ αμαρτωλον εκ πλανησ οδου αυτου σωσει ψυχην εκ θανατου και καλυψει πληθοσ αμαρτιων
