James 5
1 Come now, you rich, weep and howl for your miseries that are coming on you.
He! ianareo manan-karena, mitomania sy midradradradrà noho ny fahoriana izay efa manjo anareo.
2 Your riches are corrupted and your garments are moth-eaten.
Ny harenareo efa simba, ary ny fitafianareo efa lanin’ ny kalalao.
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.
Ny volamena sy ny volafotsinareo dia efa harafesina; ary ny harafesiny dia ho vavolombelona hiampanga anareo sady handany ny nofonareo tahaka ny afo. Efa namory harena amin’ ny andro farany ianareo.
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.
Indro, ny karaman’ ny mpiasa nijinja ny taninareo, izay hazoninareo, dia mitaraina; ary ny fitarainan’ ny mpijinja dia efa tafiditra amin’ ny sofin’ ny Tompon’ ny maro.
5 You have lived in luxury on the earth, and taken your pleasure. You have nourished your hearts as in a day of slaughter.
Efa velona tamin’ ny fy tetỳ ambonin’ ny tany ianareo sady nanaram-po tamin’ ny fahafinaretana; efa namahy ny fonareo tamin’ ny andro hamonoana ianareo.
6 You have condemned and you have murdered the righteous one. He doesn’t resist you.
Efa nanameloka namono ny marina ianareo; fa tsy manohitra anareo izy.
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.
Ary amin’ izany dia mahareta tsara, ry rahalahy, mandra-pihavin’ ny Tompo. Indro, ny mpiasa tany miandry ny voka-tsoa amin’ ny tany ka maharitra amin’ izany mandra-pahazony ny ranonorana aloha sy aoriana.
8 You also be patient. Establish your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is at hand.
Mahareta koa ianareo, mampahereza ny fonareo, fa efa mby akaiky ny fihavian’ ny Tompo.
9 Don’t grumble, brothers, against one another, so that you won’t be judged. Behold, the judge stands at the door.
Aza mifampimonomonona, ry rahalahy, fandrao hohelohina ianareo; Indro, ny Mpitsara efa mitsangana eo anoloan’ ny varavarana.
10 Take, brothers, for an example of suffering and of perseverance, the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord.
Ry rahalahiko, aoka ny mpaminany izay niteny tamin’ ny anaran’ ny Tompo no halainareo ho fianarana ny fandeferam-pahoriana sy ny faharetana.
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.
Indro, ataontsika fa sambatra izay efa naharitra. Efa renareo ny faharetan’ i Joba ary efa hitanareo ny faran’ ny nataon’ ny Tompo taminy, fa miantra indrindra ny Tompo sady be famindram-po.
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.
Fa mihoatra noho ny zavatra rehetra, ry rahalahiko, aza mianiana, na amin’ ny lanitra, na amin’ ny tany, na amin’ izay fianianana hafa akory aza; fa aoka ny fanaikinareo ho “Eny”, ary ny fandànareo ho “Tsia”, fandrao hiharan’ ny fitsarana ianareo.
13 Is any among you suffering? Let him pray. Is any cheerful? Let him sing praises.
Misy azom-pahoriana va eo aminareo? Aoka izy hivavaka. Misy faly va? Aoka izy hihira fiderana.
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;
Misy marary va eo aminareo? Aoka izy hampaka ny loholon’ ny fiangonana; ary aoka hanosotra diloilo azy amin’ ny anaran’ ny Tompo ireo sady hivavaka eo aminy;
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.
ary ny fivavaky ny finoana dia hamonjy ilay marary, fa ny Tompo hanangana azy; ary raha nanota izy, dia havela ny helony.
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.
Koa mifaneke heloka ianareo, ary mifampivavaha, mba ho sitrana ianareo. Ny fiàsan’ ny fivavaky ny marina dia mahery indrindra.
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.
Elia dia olona tahaka antsika ihany, ary izy nahery nivavaka mba tsy hilatsahan’ ny ranonorana; dia tsy nilatsaka tamin’ ny tany ny ranonorana telo taona sy enim-bolana.
18 He prayed again, and the sky gave rain, and the earth produced its fruit.
Ary nivavaka indray izy, dia nandatsaka ranonorana ny lanitra, ka nahavokatra ny tany.
19 Brothers, if any among you wanders from the truth and someone turns him back,
Ry rahalahiko, raha misy eo aminareo miala amin’ ny fahamarinana, ary misy anankiray mampibebaka azy,
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.
aoka ho fantany fa izay mampibebaka ny mpanota hiala amin’ ny lalan’ ny fahadisoany dia hamonjy fanahy tsy ho faty sady hanarona heloka be.
