Yakubu 5
1 Dan nene, anung alle na idinin nimon, sun kuchulu kang bara uniu din cinu udak kitimine.
O rich men, howl and weep for the miseries which are coming upon you.
2 Imon nachara mine na bijjo, inin kidowo mine imonli kijijiyari.
Your riches are corrupt and stink, and your vestments are eaten of the moth,
3 Inin izinariya nin nazurfa mine imon ihem tinin tilo mine ma dursu kanang nato ula nleo nidowo mine. Inani na ceo utamani mine udu ayiri nimalin.
and your gold and your silver rusteth, and the rust of them is for a witness against you, and is to eat your flesh. You have gathered fire for you for the last days!
4 Yeneng, ubizu na nan katuwa ngirbi nanẹn mine, alle na ina bya nani ba, idi kuchulu! Tutung kuchulu nanan pituru kusana naduru atuff NCikilari Nvat.
Lo, the hire of the labourers who have reaped your lands, which you have refused, clamoureth, and the cry of the harvests to the ears of the Lord of Sabaoth hath ascended.
5 Ina su lisosin nlazun mang nan nya in yi-ulele, inani na lanza nmang nimon nacara mine.
For you have lived daintily on the earth, and have been wanton, and have nourished your bodies, as for the day of slaughter.
6 Ina su libya nati mine udu liri nimalin. Ina su ushara inin molo unit unan fiu Kutellẹ, ulenge na anati minu imon ba.
You have condemned and have killed the just, and he hath not resisted you.
7 Bara nani linuwana, tan ayi asheu udi duru kubi ndak Ncikilar, nafo unan nikawa na adin cha kubin girbi nimonli kunen, idin cawe nin nayi asheu ucizunun nwuru kussik nin un kussana.
BUT you, my brethren, prolong your spirit until the coming of the Lord; as the husbandman who expecteth the precious fruits of his lands, and prolongeth his spirit for them, until he receive the rain the early and the latter;
8 Anung wang son ni nayi asheu; kele nibinayi mine bara udakin Cikilarẹ daduru susut.
so also you, prolong your spirit, and your hearts confirm; for the coming of our Lord draweth nigh.
9 Na iwa yita sisip ba, linuwana, kitene natimine, iwa su munu ushara'a yene, unan sharawẹ yissin kibulung.
Groan not one against another, my brethren, that you be not judged; for, behold, the Judge standeth before the door.
10 Linuwana na uso minu imon yenju, shonon iyizi iyene uneo nanan kadura Kutellẹ alle na liru nan nya lisan Ncikilari.
The example of the prophets take to you, my brethren, to prolong your spirits in your afflictions, them who have spoken in the name of the Lord.
11 Yene tidin yicu alenge na ina ti ayi akone anan “nmari.” na lanza ubelle nayi akonen Ayuba, inani na yene umalzinu katuwa udalilin Ncikilari kitin Ayuba, na Cikilari wa kulun nin kune-kune nin nayi asheu
For, behold, we give blessedness to them who have endured. You have heard of the patience of Iob, and the end which the Lord wrought for him you have seen; because that merciful is the Lord and compassionate.
12 Ubun nin nimon vat, nuwana ning, yenje iwa su isili, na nin kitekani, sa ni kutïn, sa imon nisili ba. Nan nya nani na ''kidegen'' mine so ''kidegen'' ''udiru kidegen'' mine so ''udiru kidegen,'' bara iwa diu nan nya nshara.
But before every thing, my brethren, swear not; by heaven nor by earth, nor with any other oath; but let your word be Yes, yes, and No, no, that you be not bound under condemnation.
13 Umong nan nya mine din niuwa? Na ati nlira. Umong mine dinin liburi libowa? Na ati avu liru.
And if any of you be in affliction, let him pray; and if he rejoice, let him sing;
14 Umong nan nya mine dinin konå? Na ayicila akune kutyin nlira alenge na ina tarda nani acara itighe nlira itintinghe nnuf nan nya Lisan Cikilari,
and if he be sick, let him call for the presbyters of the church, and they will pray over him and anoint him with oil in the name of our Lord.
15 mini nliran nan yinnu sa uyenu din shinu nin nan konu, Kutellẹ ba fighe kiti linonin me, adi ana ti kulapi wang, Kutellẹ ma kalughe kuning.
And the prayer of faith shall make whole him who was sick, and our Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him.
16 Bara nani belle alapi mine kiti nati mine, isu ati mine nlira, inan se ushinu. Nliran nan yiru kidegen din dasu nin nimon likara gbardang nan nya katuwa me.
But confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that you may be healed. For great is the power of that prayer which the righteous prayeth.
17 Iliya unitari wadi nafo arike, amini wa ti nlira nin kibinayi kirum na uwuru nwan jü nan nya nmyen ba, ita akus atat nin tipui kutocin na uwuren jü ba.
Elia also was a man of suffering, as we; and he prayed that the rain should not fall upon the earth, and it fell not (for) three years and six months.
18 Iliya ta nlira tutung, Kutellẹ toltuno uwuru gbardang, kutyin nutuno imonli nin kpih.
And again he prayed, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth gave her fruits.
19 Nuwana nig, asa umong nan nya mine nlasina kiti kidegen, umong mine nwa kpilaghe ninghe.
my brethren, if any of you shall err from the way of truth, and one shall convert him from his error,
20 Na ame yinin nworu ulle na a kpilla nin nan kulapi unuzu libau ntanume aso arucu kidowo kitin nkul, ame ma kussu alapi gbardang.
let him know, that he who turneth a sinner from the error of his way, saveth his soul from death, and hideth the multitude of his sins.
