Yakobis 5
1 Hei atahori mamasuꞌiꞌ re! Pasa ndikiꞌ mara fo rena malolole! Hei milaka mala atahori, mana tao-ues ritaꞌ mamate nara fee nggi, nggadꞌi nara. Ia naa mbusa-titi nara rameli rafadꞌe pepeko-leleko mara. Lamatuaꞌ manaseliꞌ a, rena atahori mana tao-ues ra sususa nara. Hei ue-taos mara sia raefafoꞌ ia, naeni akaꞌ tao mimihoꞌo neuꞌ a ao mara, ma misodꞌa mimihoꞌoꞌ a. Ia naa hei onaꞌ sapi mbaruna fo rae tati e. Hei o huku-doki ma misa atahori maloleꞌ, mana nda rasalaꞌe rala ao nara sia mata mara sa. Atahori mamasuꞌiꞌ re! Ama nggae ei-ei leo! Te dei fo doidꞌosoꞌ mataꞌ hetar dai nggi. Hata-heto mara sangga rambalutu hendi se ena. Bꞌua-loꞌa meulau mara o, mbaꞌi a naa hendi se. Lilo mbilas no lilo fula mara nda rafeli sa ena. Dei fo lilo mbilas no lilo fula mara bꞌuꞌi nggi, onaꞌ ai hotu hendi hau metoꞌ. Taꞌo bee de raefafoꞌ nae sambu-lalo, te hei feꞌe tasibꞌu miꞌidꞌuru hata-heto mates naa ra? Hata-heto mara dei fo dadꞌi bukti oi, hei nda mihine saa, mafelit sia Lamatuaꞌ matan sa!
Come now, you rich, weep and howl for your miseries that are coming on you.
Your riches are corrupted and your garments are moth-eaten.
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.
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 Hosts.
You have lived in luxury on the earth, and taken your pleasure. You have nourished your hearts as in a day of slaughter.
You have condemned and you have murdered the righteous one. He doesn’t resist you.
7 Dadꞌi toronoo nggare! Hei musi miꞌitataaꞌ mihani Lamatuaꞌ neneman. Mete neu atahori mana ue-rae a, naꞌatataaꞌ nahani rae a mbule-bꞌoan. Udꞌan nema, ana sela-nggari. Basa naa, ana nahani udꞌan fai fo tao sela-nggariꞌ ra nggarui. Dꞌodꞌoo ma rambule-rabꞌoa. Losa fain ma, atahori naa neu etu-oru raen mbule-bꞌoa nara.
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.
8 Hei musi mihani onaꞌ naa boe. Maꞌadedere ao mara, nda doo sa te, Lamatua nema ena!
You also be patient. Establish your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is at hand.
9 Toronoo nggare! Afiꞌ unggu-remu esa no esa. Unggu-remu mikindooꞌ a, te dei fo Lamatuaꞌ naꞌetuꞌ huku-dokiꞌ neu nggi! Mete neuꞌ ena, te Mana Nggero-furi mana sia ataꞌ a, nambarii sia mata mara ena.
Don’t grumble, brothers, against one another, so that you won’t be judged. Behold, the judge stands at the door.
10 Toronoo nggare! Tungga conto mia Lamatuaꞌ mana ola-ola nara. Mae ara hambu sususaꞌ mataꞌ-mataꞌ, te ara raꞌatataaꞌ rakandooꞌ a.
Take, brothers, for an example of suffering and of perseverance, the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord.
11 Mete ma hambu atahori raꞌatataaꞌ sia susa-sonaꞌ, hita hiiꞌ a soꞌu tananaru atahori naa naran. Onaꞌ baꞌi Ayub. Ana hambu susa-sonaꞌ mataꞌ-mataꞌ, te ana naꞌatataaꞌ nahereꞌ. Boe ma Lamatuaꞌ tudꞌa kasian neu e, de ana tao basaꞌ e dadꞌi maloleꞌ fee neu e. Lamatuaꞌ tao taꞌo naa, huu ralan maloleꞌ ma sofeꞌ no susueꞌ.
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.
12 Toronoo nggare! Tungga matetun, ama afiꞌ soꞌu susumbaꞌ. Mete ma mae mifadꞌe mae, “ia”, na, mitaa mae “ia”. Ma mete ma mae mifadꞌe mae, “hokoꞌ”, na, mitaa mae “hokoꞌ” Onaꞌ naa dai ena! Afiꞌ miseliꞌ soꞌu susumbaꞌ mendiꞌ atahori raefafoꞌ naran. Lenaꞌ fai sumba mendiꞌ Lamatualain mana masodꞌaꞌ sia lalai a naran. Nda hambu nggunan soꞌu susumbaꞌ mataꞌ-mataꞌ sa. Te mete ma taꞌo naa, na, simbo teme-ao huku-dꞌoki ma, huu susumba mara.
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.
13 Mete ma hambu sia hei mana susa-sonaꞌ, malole lenaꞌ ana hule-oꞌe. Ma mete ma hambu sia mana namahoꞌoꞌ, malole lenaꞌ ana sodꞌa koa-kio Lamatuaꞌ.
Is any among you suffering? Let him pray. Is any cheerful? Let him sing praises.
14 Mete ma hambu sia hei mana mamahedꞌi ra, na, malole lenaꞌ moꞌe lasi-lasi saraniꞌ ra rema. Moꞌe se oꞌose mina neu mamahedꞌi a, ma hule-oꞌe mendiꞌ Lamatuaꞌ naran, fo Lamatuaꞌ naꞌahahaiꞌ e.
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;
15 Mete ma hei hule-oꞌe fee atahori hedꞌis ra, ma mimihere tebꞌe-tebꞌeꞌ neu Lamatuaꞌ, dei fo Lamatuaꞌ naꞌahahaiꞌ atahori naa. Ma mete ma atahori naa tao salaꞌ ena, dei fo Lamatuaꞌ fee ambon neu sala-kilun.
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.
16 Dadꞌi mete ma hambu sia hei tao salaꞌ, na, hei musi mitaa sala mara. No taꞌo naa, hei esa hule-oꞌe fee esa, naa fo hei dadꞌi maloleꞌ. Atahori rala meumareꞌ, hule-oꞌen sofeꞌ no koasa, ma bisa nendiꞌ hahambu maloleꞌ.
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.
17 Onaꞌ baꞌi Elia. Eni o, atahori onaꞌ hita boe. Te ana hule-oꞌe naꞌangge udꞌan, ma nda dooꞌ sa ma udꞌan o naloeꞌ boe. De nda udꞌan losa too telu seseriꞌ sa.
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.
18 Basa ma, ana hule-oꞌe noꞌe udꞌan, ma nda dooꞌ sa ma udꞌan o nema boe. Uru a modꞌo-modꞌo baliꞌ, ma osi-lutu ra o rambule-rabꞌoa baliꞌ.
He prayed again, and the sky gave rain, and the earth produced its fruit.
19 Toronoo nggare! Mete ma hambu ruma sia hei mulai tao salaꞌ de lao hela dꞌala ndoo-tetuꞌ a, basa ma hambu mana tulu-fali de ro baliꞌ e nisiꞌ Lamatuaꞌ dꞌala ndoo-tetun, naa malole.
Brothers, if any among you wanders from the truth and someone turns him back,
20 Misinedꞌa ia malolole! Mete ma hei tulun atahori mana tao salaꞌ, fo ana baliꞌ nisiꞌ Lamatuaꞌ, ma nda tao salaꞌ sa ena, hei mo baliꞌ atahori naa nisi dꞌala masodꞌaꞌ ena, de ana hambu masodꞌaꞌ nakandoo no Lamatuaꞌ. No taꞌo naa, Lamatuaꞌ ose hendi basa sala-kilun ena. Taꞌo naa ena! Mia au, Yakobis
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.
