Yakubu 5
1 Dan nene, anung alle na idinin nimon, sun kuchulu kang bara uniu din cinu udak kitimine.
Come, you rich men, weep aloud and howl for your sorrows which will soon be upon you.
2 Imon nachara mine na bijjo, inin kidowo mine imonli kijijiyari.
Your treasures have rotted, and your piles of clothing are moth-eaten;
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.
your gold and your silver have become covered with rust, and the rust on them will give evidence against you, and will eat your flesh like fire. You have hoarded up wealth in these 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.
I tell you that the pay of the labourers who have gathered in your crops--pay which you are keeping back--is calling out against you; and the outcries of those who have been your reapers have entered into the ears of the Lord of the armies of Heaven.
5 Ina su lisosin nlazun mang nan nya in yi-ulele, inani na lanza nmang nimon nacara mine.
Here on earth you have lived self-indulgent and profligate lives. You have stupefied yourselves with gross feeding; but a day of slaughter has come.
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--you have murdered-- the righteous man: he offers no resistance.
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.
Be patient therefore, brethren, until the Coming of the Lord. Notice how eagerly a farmer waits for a valuable crop! He is patient over it till it has received the early and the later rain.
8 Anung wang son ni nayi asheu; kele nibinayi mine bara udakin Cikilarẹ daduru susut.
So you also must be patient: keeping up your courage; for the Coming of the Lord is now close at hand.
9 Na iwa yita sisip ba, linuwana, kitene natimine, iwa su munu ushara'a yene, unan sharawẹ yissin kibulung.
Do not cry out in condemnation of one another, brethren, lest you come under judgement. I tell you that the Judge is standing at the door.
10 Linuwana na uso minu imon yenju, shonon iyizi iyene uneo nanan kadura Kutellẹ alle na liru nan nya lisan Ncikilari.
In illustration, brethren, of persecution patiently endured take the Prophets who have spoken as messengers from 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
Remember that we call those blessed who endured what they did. You have also heard of Job's patient endurance, and have seen the issue of the Lord's dealings with him--how full of tenderness and pity the Lord is.
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 above all things, my brethren, do not swear, either by Heaven or by the earth, or with any other oath. Let your 'yes' be simply 'yes,' and your 'no' be simply 'no;' that you may not come under condemnation.
13 Umong nan nya mine din niuwa? Na ati nlira. Umong mine dinin liburi libowa? Na ati avu liru.
Is one of you suffering? Let him pray. Is any one in good spirits? Let him sing a psalm.
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,
Is any one ill? Let him send for the Elders of the Church, and let them pray over him, after anointing him with oil in the name of the 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 will restore the sick man, and the Lord will raise him up to health; and if he has committed sins, they shall be forgiven.
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.
Therefore confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another, so that you may be cured. The heartfelt supplication of a righteous man exerts a mighty influence.
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.
Elijah was a man with a nature similar to ours, and he earnestly prayed that there might be no rain: and no rain fell on the land for three years and six months.
18 Iliya ta nlira tutung, Kutellẹ toltuno uwuru gbardang, kutyin nutuno imonli nin kpih.
Again he prayed, and the sky gave rain and the land yielded its crops.
19 Nuwana nig, asa umong nan nya mine nlasina kiti kidegen, umong mine nwa kpilaghe ninghe.
My brethren, if one of you strays from the truth and some one brings him back,
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 brings a sinner back from his evil ways will save the man's soul from death and throw a veil over a multitude of sins.
