James 5
1 Come now, you rich, weep and howl for your miseries that are coming on you.
Mhidayi henu, muenga jha mujhele matajiri, mulelayi kwa sauti jha panani kwandabha jha tabu jhajhihida panani pa muenga.
2 Your riches are corrupted and your garments are moth-eaten.
Bhutajiri bhwa muenga bhuharibibhu ni maguanda gha muenga ghadakulibhu ni manu maharibifu.
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.
Dhahabu sya muenga ni hela sya muenga sidulili thamani, ni bhuharibifu bhuake bhwibeta kushuhudila dhidi jha muenga ni kujhangamisya mibhele gha muenga kama muoto. Mukibhekili hazina jha muenga mu magono gha kumwishu.
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.
Mutangayi, malepu gha bhabhomba mbombo bhala ambabho mubhalepili lepi kwa kubena mu migonda ghinu - bhilela, nni kilelu kya bhala, bhabhebenili nia zao gha muenga kighafikili mb'olokhoto sya Bwana ghwa majeshi.
5 You have lived in luxury on the earth, and taken your pleasure. You have nourished your hearts as in a day of slaughter.
Mutamili kwa anasa pa duniani ni kwifurahisya muenga mwebhene. Mukinenepisi mioyo ghya muenga ku magono gha machinju.
6 You have condemned and you have murdered the righteous one. He does not resist you.
Nin'hukumuili ni kunkoma jhaahe ni haki jhaibhwesya lepi kubhap'enga.
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.
Henu, musinda makayi bhalongo, mpaka ujio bhwa Bwana, kama mkulima ilendela mavuno gha thamani ni kuhoma mu nchi ilendelela kwa bhuvumilivu kwandabha jha muene, mpaka fula sya kuanza ni sela sya kumwishu sikatonyayi.
8 You also be patient. Establish your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is at hand.
Kabhele muenga mujhelayi bhavumilivu. Mukasiajhi mioyo ghoya muenga, kwandabha kuhida kwa muene Bwana akaribili.
9 Do not grumble, brothers, against one another, so that you will not be judged. Behold, the judge stands at the door.
Ndongo, musikilombosi jhomu kwa jhomu, kusudi musihidi mukahukumulibhwa. Langayi hakimu ijhema pandiangu.
10 Take, brothers, for an example of suffering and of perseverance, the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord.
kwa mfano, ndongo mulangayi malombosi ni bhuvumilivu bhwa manabii bhabhanenili mu lihina lya Bwana.
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.
Langayi tukabhakuta bhalabhabhisindamala, “heri” Mp'eliki bhuvumilivu bhwa Ayubu na mulimanyili kusudi lya Bwana kwandabha jha Ayubu, ni kwa jinsi jhalakhu Bwana amemili huruma ni rehema.
12 But above all things, my brothers, do not 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 do not fall into hypocrisy.
Zaidi jha ghoha, bhalongo bhangu, musolapi, aidha kwa mbingu ama kwa nchi au kwa kiapu kya aina jhenge. Bali hebu “Ena” jha jhomu na jhimaanisiajhi “ena” ni “lepi” jha muenga na jhimaanisiaghi “lepi” ili kwamba musihudi kubinila pasi pa hukumu.
13 Is any among you suffering? Let him pray. Is any cheerful? Let him sing praises.
Ajhe jhejhioha miongoni mwa muenga ajhe ni malombosi? Lazima as'okayi. Je, munu jhe jhioha ndo n'kolo kuchonjela? Na jhjobhelayi sifa.
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;
Je, ajhe jhe jhejhioha miongoni mwa muenga jha ajhe n'tamu? Na abhakutayi bhaseya bha kanisa bhas'okayi panani pa muene bhampakili mafuta mu lihina lya Bwana.
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.
Ni maombi gha imani ghibetakumponesya n'tamu ni Bwana ibetakunjinula na kama ibetakujhha abhombili dhambi, K'yara ibetakusn'samehe.
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.
Henu mubhungamayi dhambi sya jhomu kwa jhomu, ni kus'omelana khila mmonga ni njinu, ili mubhwesiajhi kuponesibhwa. Maombi gha mwenye haki ghihogola matoleo mabhaha.
17 Elijah was a man with a nature like ours, and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain, and it did not rain on the earth for three years and six months.
Eliya ajhele munu mwenye hisia kama sya tete, as'omili kwa juhudi kujha fula jhisiotonyi na jhatonyili lepi pa nchi kwa muda ghwa miaka midatu ni miesi sita.
18 He prayed again, and the sky gave rain, and the earth produced its fruit.
Ni Eliya as'okili kabhele, ni mbingu syajhitisi fula panani pa nchi ni nhi jhapisili mavuno.
19 Brothers, if any among you wanders from the truth and someone turns him back,
Bhalongo bhangu, kama jhejhioha mugati mwa jhomu pa ihoma kuhoma mubhukweli, lakini munu jhongi an'keebhuisi.
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.
Hebu na umanyayi kujha jhehioha jhaikandongosya mwenye dhambi kubhoka mu ibetakuponyesya nafsi jha bhukonyofu ibetakuponyesya nafsi jha muene kuhoma mu mauti na ibetakugupika bhwingi bhwa dhambi.
