James 5
1 Come now, you rich, weep and howl for your miseries that are coming on you.
Hinu myuwanila nyenye muvi na vindu vyamahele! Mvemba na kuwombeleza ndava ya mang'ahiso gegakuvabwelela.
2 Your riches are corrupted and your garments are moth-eaten.
Vindu vinu viwolili, na nyula zinu zimeminwi na makele.
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.
Zahabu na feza yinu na zimeli chilali. Na chilali chenicho yati yivya ulangisu winu, Yene yati yilya higa yinu ngati motu. Nyenye muvili vindu mumagono ago ga mwishu.
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.
Mlola! Mwangavalipa luhuna vanalihengu vevahengili lihengu mumigunda yinu. Myuwanila kulungamika kwavi. BAMBU Chapanga mweavi na makakala ayuwini kuvemba kwavi.
5 You have lived in luxury on the earth, and taken your pleasure. You have nourished your hearts as in a day of slaughter.
Mtamii pamulima kwa kugana kujisangalusa neju. Mjikulupalisi mwavene ngati ng'ombi cheyikulupili changali kumanya ligono la kuhinjwa.
6 You have condemned and you have murdered the righteous one. He does not resist you.
Muvahamwili na kuvakoma vandu vangavabela!
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.
Hinu, valongo vangu, mlindila mbaka BAMBU peibwela. Mlola mlimaji cheilindila mbeyu yeamiji pandima muni abena mabenu gabwina. Mwene ilindila kwa kukangamala fula za kutumbula mbaka za mwishu.
8 You also be patient. Establish your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is at hand.
Na nyenye mewa mganikiwa kuvya na usindimala, mkangamalisa mitima yinu, ndava ligono la kubwela kwaki BAMBU luvi papipi.
9 Do not grumble, brothers, against one another, so that you will not be judged. Behold, the judge stands at the door.
Valongo vangu, mkoto kung'ung'utilana mwavene. Mkoto kuhamuliwa na Chapanga, yula Mweihamula avi papipi kuyingila pa mlyangu.
10 Take, brothers, for an example of suffering and of perseverance, the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord.
Valongo vangu, muvakumbuka vamlota va Chapanga vevajobvili kwa liina la BAMBU, muni kuvya luhumu lwa kukangamala mukung'ahika.
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.
Tikuvakemela avo vana vamotisiwi muni vasindimili. Myuwini Ayubu cheasindimili, na mmanyili ndi BAMBU chamhengili mbaka pamwishu. Muni BAMBU amemili lipyana na ubwina.
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.
Neju pa genago goha, valongo vangu, mkoto kulapa kwa kunani kwa Chapanga, amala kwa mulima, amala kwa chindu chingi chochoha. Mjova “Ena” ngati mana yinu ena, na “Lepi” ngati mana yinu ndi lepi, na penapo yati mwihamuliwa lepi na Chapanga.
13 Is any among you suffering? Let him pray. Is any cheerful? Let him sing praises.
Wu, kuna mundu yoyoha pagati yinu ana mang'ahiso? Iganikiwa kumuyupa Chapanga. Wu, avili mwana luheku? Iganikiwa kuyimba nyimbu za kulumba.
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;
Wu avi mweavi na utamu pagati yinu? Iganikiwa kuvakemela vagogo va msambi wa vandu vevakumsadika Chapanga, ndi yati vakumyupila na kumnyala mahuta kwa liina la BAMBU.
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.
Vakayupa kwa sadika mtamu yati ilamiswa, BAMBU yati akumlamisa na kumbudila kwaki Chapanga yati kulekekeswa.
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.
Hinu, mjovelana nyenye kwa nyenye kubuda kwinu na myupilana muni mlamiswayi. Luyupu lwa mundu mbwina luna makakala ga kukita gamahele.
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 avi mundu ngati tete. Ayupili kwa kukangamala fula yikoto kutonya ndi yatonyili lepi pamulima miyaka yidatu na miehi sita.
18 He prayed again, and the sky gave rain, and the earth produced its fruit.
Ayupili kavili, fula yatonyili na mulima wapambiki mabenu gaki.
19 Brothers, if any among you wanders from the truth and someone turns him back,
Valongo vangu mmonga akayaga ndava ya uchakaka, na mundu yungi akamuwuyisa,
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.
manya kuvya mundu mwenuyo mwakumuwuyisa kumbudila Chapanga kuhuma munjila zaki zihakau, yati akumsangula mundu mwenuyo kuhuma mulifwa, na yati akumkita Chapanga amuwusila kubuda kwaki kwamahele.
