< James 5 >

1 Go to now, ye rich men, weep and howl in your miseries, which shall come upon you.
αγε νυν οι πλουσιοι κλαυσατε ολολυζοντεσ επι ταισ ταλαιπωριαισ υμων ταισ επερχομεναισ
2 Your riches are corrupted: and your garments are motheaten.
ο πλουτοσ υμων σεσηπεν και τα ιματια υμων σητοβρωτα γεγονεν
3 Your gold and silver is cankered: and the rust of them shall be for a testimony against you, and shall eat your flesh like fire. You have stored up to yourselves wrath against the last days.
ο χρυσοσ υμων και ο αργυροσ κατιωται και ο ιοσ αυτων εισ μαρτυριον υμιν εσται και φαγεται τασ σαρκασ υμων ωσ πυρ εθησαυρισατε εν εσχαταισ ημεραισ
4 Behold the hire of the labourers, who have reaped down your fields, which by fraud has been kept back by you, crieth: and the cry of them hath entered into the ears of the Lord of Sabaoth.
ιδου ο μισθοσ των εργατων των αμησαντων τασ χωρασ υμων ο απεστερημενοσ αφ υμων κραζει και αι βοαι των θερισαντων εισ τα ωτα κυριου σαβαωθ εισεληλυθασιν
5 You have feasted upon earth: and in riotousness you have nourished your hearts, in the day of slaughter.
ετρυφησατε επι τησ γησ και εσπαταλησατε εθρεψατε τασ καρδιασ υμων ωσ εν ημερα σφαγησ
6 You have condemned and put to death the Just One, and he resisted you not.
κατεδικασατε εφονευσατε τον δικαιον ουκ αντιτασσεται υμιν
7 Be patient therefore, brethren, until the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth: patiently bearing till he receive the early and latter rain.
μακροθυμησατε ουν αδελφοι εωσ τησ παρουσιασ του κυριου ιδου ο γεωργοσ εκδεχεται τον τιμιον καρπον τησ γησ μακροθυμων επ αυτον εωσ λαβη υετον πρωιμον και οψιμον
8 Be you therefore also patient, and strengthen your hearts: for the coming of the Lord is at hand.
μακροθυμησατε και υμεισ στηριξατε τασ καρδιασ υμων οτι η παρουσια του κυριου ηγγικεν
9 Grudge not, brethren, one against another, that you may not be judged. Behold the judge standeth before the door.
μη στεναζετε κατ αλληλων αδελφοι ινα μη κριθητε ιδου ο κριτησ προ των θυρων εστηκεν
10 Take, my brethren, for an example of suffering evil, of labour and patience, the prophets, who spoke in the name of the Lord.
υποδειγμα λαβετε αδελφοι μου τησ κακοπαθειασ και τησ μακροθυμιασ τουσ προφητασ οι ελαλησαν τω ονοματι κυριου
11 Behold, we account them blessed who have endured. You have heard of the patience of Job, and you have seen the end of the Lord, that the Lord is merciful and compassionate.
ιδου μακαριζομεν τουσ υπομενοντασ την υπομονην ιωβ ηκουσατε και το τελοσ κυριου ιδετε οτι πολυσπλαγχνοσ εστιν και οικτιρμων
12 But above all things, my brethren, swear not, neither by heaven, nor by the earth, nor by any other oath. But let your speech be, yea, yea: no, no: that you fall not under judgment.
προ παντων δε αδελφοι μου μη ομνυετε μητε τον ουρανον μητε την γην μητε αλλον τινα ορκον ητω δε υμων το ναι ναι και το ου ου ινα μη εισ υποκρισιν πεσητε
13 Is any of you sad? Let him pray. Is he cheerful in mind? Let him sing.
κακοπαθει τισ εν υμιν προσευχεσθω ευθυμει τισ ψαλλετω
14 Is any man sick among you? Let him bring in the priests of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord.
ασθενει τισ εν υμιν προσκαλεσασθω τουσ πρεσβυτερουσ τησ εκκλησιασ και προσευξασθωσαν επ αυτον αλειψαντεσ αυτον ελαιω εν τω ονοματι του κυριου
15 And the prayer of faith shall save the sick man: and the Lord shall raise him up: and if he be in sins, they shall be forgiven him.
και η ευχη τησ πιστεωσ σωσει τον καμνοντα και εγερει αυτον ο κυριοσ καν αμαρτιασ η πεποιηκωσ αφεθησεται αυτω
16 Confess therefore your sins one to another: and pray one for another, that you may be saved. For the continual prayer of a just man availeth much.
εξομολογεισθε αλληλοισ τα παραπτωματα και ευχεσθε υπερ αλληλων οπωσ ιαθητε πολυ ισχυει δεησισ δικαιου ενεργουμενη
17 Elias was a man passible like unto us: and with prayer he prayed that it might not rain upon the earth, and it rained not for three years and six months.
ηλιασ ανθρωποσ ην ομοιοπαθησ ημιν και προσευχη προσηυξατο του μη βρεξαι και ουκ εβρεξεν επι τησ γησ ενιαυτουσ τρεισ και μηνασ εξ
18 And he prayed again: and the heaven gave rain, and the earth brought forth her fruit.
και παλιν προσηυξατο και ο ουρανοσ υετον εδωκεν και η γη εβλαστησεν τον καρπον αυτησ
19 My brethren, if any of you err from the truth, and one convert him:
αδελφοι εαν τισ εν υμιν πλανηθη απο τησ αληθειασ και επιστρεψη τισ αυτον
20 He must know that he who causeth a sinner to be converted from the error of his way, shall save his soul from death, and shall cover a multitude of sins.
γινωσκετω οτι ο επιστρεψασ αμαρτωλον εκ πλανησ οδου αυτου σωσει ψυχην εκ θανατου και καλυψει πληθοσ αμαρτιων
