James 5
1 Go to now, all of you rich men, weep and wail for your miseries that shall come upon you.
Muise nambeambe, mwwenga mwabile matajiri, mulele kwa lilobe lya kunani kwa mwanja taabu yaicha kunani yinu.
2 Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are moth-eaten.
Utajiri winu utiharibika ni mawalo yinu gataunilwe ni ilulu gaharibifu.
3 Your gold and silver is cankered; and the rust of them shall be a witness against you, and shall eat your flesh as it were fire. All of you have heaped treasure together for the last days.
Dhahabu yinu ni fedha yinu ikosike thamani, ni uharibifu wake walowa shuhudia dhidi yinu nga kuangamiza yega yinu kati mwoto. Mwibekiye hazina yinu mu'masoba ga mwisho.
4 Behold, the hire of the labourers who have reaped down your fields, which is of you kept back by fraud, cries: and the cries of them which have reaped are entered into the ears of the Lord of sabaoth.
Mugalinge, malepo ga atendaji balo balepa kwaa kwaajili ya una mu'nngunda yinu balela! Nga kilelo cha balo bapuna mazao ginu saikite mumakutu ga Ngwana ba Majeshi.
5 All of you have lived in pleasure on the earth, and been wanton; all of you have nourished your hearts, as in a day of slaughter.
Mutami kwa anasa mu'dunia ni kuipuraisha mwenga wa mwene. Mwainenepesha mioyo yinu kwa lisoba lya machinjo.
6 All of you have condemned and killed the just; and he does not resist you.
Mwatikuhumu ni kummulaga yabile ni haki ywaweza kwaa kwapinga.
7 Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord. Behold, the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth, and has long patience for it, until he receive the early and latter rain.
Kwa eyo muipumiliye, alongo, mpaka wauisa wa Ngwana, kati mkulima ywalenda mauno ga thamani kuoma mu'nnema, ywa lenda kwa pumiliya kwaajili yake, mpaka ula wa kwanza ni wamwisho waisa.
8 Be all of you also patient; establish your hearts: for the coming of the Lord draws nigh.
Pia mwenga mube apumilivu: muitabe mioyo yinu. kwa mana kuisa kwake Ngwana kubile karibu.
9 Grudge not one against another, brethren, lest all of you be condemned: behold, the judge stands before the door.
Mwalongo, kana munung'unikyane mwenga kwa mwenga, ili kana muise hukumilwa. Linga, hakimu, ayemi mu'nnango.
10 Take, my brethren, the prophets, who have spoken in the name of the Lord, for an example of suffering affliction, and of patience.
Kwa mpwano, mwalongo, mugalinge mateso ni upumilivu wa manabii walowa bonekana mu'lina lya Ngwana.
11 Behold, we count them happy which endure. All of you have heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the end of the Lord; that the Lord is very pitiful, and of tender mercy.
Linga twabakema balo batipumiliya, “heri.” Mwayowine upumilivu ba Ayubu, nga mwalitanga kusudi lya Ngwana kwaajili ya Atubu nga kwa namna gani Ngwana atwelii huruma ni rehema.
12 But above all things, my brethren, swear not, neither by heaven, neither by the earth, neither by any other oath: but let your yea be yea; and your nay, nay; lest all of you fall into condemnation.
Zaidi ya goti, alongo bango, kana mulape, kwa maunde wala kwa nnema, au kwa kilapo sa ina yenge. Bali yelo “elo” yinu nga imaanishe “elo” nga “hapana” yinu nga imaanishe “hapana”, ili kwamba muise kwaa kutomboka pae ya hukumu.
13 Is any among you afflicted? let him pray. Is any merry? let him sing psalms.
Abile yeyoti nkati yinu abile ni mateso. Lazima alobe. Je, kwabile ywachangamka? ni aimbe kwa sifa.
14 Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord:
Je, kwabile mundu yeyoti nkati yinu ywabile aminya? Nga abakeme apindo ba'likanisa, nabo apindo ba'likanisa balobe nnani yake, kabampaka mauta mu'lina lya Ngwana,
15 And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him.
nga malobe ga imani yalowa kubaponiya atamwe, ni Ngwana alowa kwainua. Ni nkati alowa panga sambi, Nnongo alowa kumsamiya.
16 Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that all of you may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.
Kwa eyo muungame sambi yinu mwenga kwa mwenga, na kulobiana kila yumo ni ywembe, ili muweze ponyelwa. Malobe ya ywabile ni haki ubeleka matokeo makolo.
17 Elijah was a man subject to like passions as we are, and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain: and it rained not on the earth by the space of three years and six months.
Eliya abile mundu ywabile ni hisia kati yitu, alobite kwa juhudi kwamba ula kana iise, ni yaisa kwaa mu'nnema kwa muda wa miaka itatu ni miei sita.
18 And he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth brought forth her fruit.
Nga Eliya alobite kae, ni maunde gamwaite ula nnani ya nnema ni wapiite sakulya.
19 Brethren, if any of you do go astray from the truth, and one convert him;
Alongo bango, kati yeyote nkati yinu apala kelebuka kuoma mu'ukweli, lakini ywenge alowa kunlejesha.
20 Let him know, that he which converts the sinner from the error of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall hide a multitude of sins.
Ebu ni uyowe kuwa yeyote ywankengama ywabile ni sambi ni kuoma mu'ndela yake ya ukosaji alowa kwiponiya nafsi yake kuoma mu'kiwo ni kwipunika sambi yanansima.
