James 5
1 Come now, you men of wealth, give yourselves to weeping and crying because of the bitter troubles which are coming to you.
Zvino inzwai, imi vapfumi, chemai muungudze nokuda kwenjodzi iri kuuya pamusoro penyu.
2 Your wealth is unclean and insects have made holes in your clothing.
Upfumi hwenyu hwaora, uye nguo dzenyu dzakadyiwa nezviundudzi.
3 Your gold and your silver are wasted and their waste will be a witness against you, burning into your flesh. You have put by your store in the last days.
Goridhe renyu nesirivha zvava nengura. Ngura yazvo ichakupupurirai zvakaipa uye zvichapedza nyama yenyu somoto. Makazvichengetera upfumi mumazuva okupedzisira.
4 See, the money which you falsely kept back from the workers cutting the grass in your field, is crying out against you; and the cries of those who took in your grain have come to the ears of the Lord of armies.
Tarirai mibayiro yamakatadza kupa vashandi venyu vaicheka muminda yenyu iri kudanidzira pamusoro penyu. Kuchema kwavacheki kwasvika munzeve dzaIshe Wamasimba Ose.
5 You have been living delicately on earth and have taken your pleasure; you have made your hearts fat for a day of destruction.
Makararama mumafaro panyika uye muchizvikudza. Makakodza mwoyo yenyu pazuva rokuzvibaya.
6 You have given your decision against the upright man and have put him to death. He puts up no fight against you.
Makatonga uye mukaponda vanhu vasina mhosva, vakanga vasingapikisani nemi.
7 Go on waiting calmly, my brothers, till the coming of the Lord, like the farmer waiting for the good fruit of the earth till the early and late rains have come.
Zvino, hama dzangu, ivai nomwoyo murefu, kusvikira pakuuya kwaShe. Tarirai mamiriro anoita murimi kuti aone chibereko chinokosha chenyika uye kuti anoita mwoyo murefu sei pakumirira kwake mvura yomunakamwe nemvura yamasutso.
8 Be as calm in your waiting; let your hearts be strong: because the coming of the Lord is near.
Nemiwo, ivai nomwoyo murefu uye mumire nesimba, nokuti kuuya kwaShe kwava pedyo.
9 Say no hard things against one another, brothers, so that you will not be judged; see, the judge is waiting at the doors.
Musanyunyutirana, hama dzangu, kuti murege kutongwa. Mutongi amire pamusuo!
10 Take as an example of pain nobly undergone and of strength in trouble, the prophets who gave to men the words of the Lord.
Hama dzangu, somuenzaniso womwoyo murefu pakutambudzika, tarirai vaprofita vakataura muzita raShe.
11 We say that those men who have gone through pain are happy: you have the story of Job and the troubles through which he went and have seen that the Lord was full of pity and mercy in the end.
Sezvamunoziva, tinoti vakaropafadzwa avo vakatsungirira. Makanzwa zvokutsungirira kwaJobho uye makaona zvakaitwa naIshe pakupedzisira. Ishe azere netsitsi nengoni.
12 But most of all, my brothers, do not take oaths, not by the heaven, or by the earth, or by any other thing: but let your Yes be Yes, and your No be No: so that you may not be judged.
Pamusoro pazvo zvose, hama dzangu, musapika, nedenga kana nenyika kana nechimwe chinhu zvacho. “Hongu” yenyu ngaive hongu, uye “Kwete” yenyu ngaive kwete, kuti murege kutongwa.
13 Is anyone among you in trouble? let him say prayers. Is anyone glad? let him make a song of praise.
Kuno mumwe wenyu anotambudzika here? Ngaanyengetere. Kuno mumwe anofara here? Ngaaimbe nziyo dzokurumbidza.
14 Is anyone among you ill? let him send for the rulers of the church; and let them say prayers over him, putting oil on him in the name of the Lord.
Kuno mumwe wenyu anorwara here? Ngaadane vakuru vekereke kuti vazomunyengeterera uye vagomuzodza mafuta muzita raIshe.
15 And by the prayer of faith the man who is ill will be made well, and he will be lifted up by the Lord, and for any sin which he has done he will have forgiveness.
Uye munyengetero unoitwa mukutenda uchaita kuti munhu anorwara apore; Ishe achamumutsa. Kana akatadza, acharegererwa.
16 So then, make a statement of your sins to one another, and say prayers for one another so that you may be made well. The prayer of a good man is full of power in its working.
Naizvozvo reururai zvivi zvenyu mumwe kuno mumwe uye munyengetererane kuti mugoporeswa. Munyengetero womunhu akarurama une simba uye unoshanda.
17 Elijah was a man of flesh and blood as we are, and he made a strong prayer that there might be no rain; and there was no rain on the earth for three years and six months.
Eria akanga ari munhu sesu. Akanyengetera zvine simba kuti kurege kunaya, uye hakuna kunaya panyika kwamakore matatu nehafu.
18 And he made another prayer, and the heaven sent down rain and the earth gave her fruit.
Uyezve, akanyengetera, denga rikanayisa mvura, nyika ikabereka zvibereko zvayo.
19 My brothers, if one of you has gone out of the way of the true faith and another has made him see his error,
Hama dzangu, kana mumwe wenyu akatsauka kubva pachokwadi uye mumwe akamudzora,
20 Be certain that he through whom a sinner has been turned from the error of his way, keeps a soul from death and is the cause of forgiveness for sins without number.
murangarire izvi kuti: Ani naani anodzora mutadzi kubva panzira yokudarika kwake, achamuponesa kubva parufu uye achafukidza zvivi zvizhinji.
