Jacob 5
1 Come now, you rich, weep and cry aloud for your miseries that are coming on you.
Hodite vi sad, bogati, plaèite i ridajte za svoje ljute nevolje koje idu na vas.
2 Your riches are corrupted and your garments are moth-eaten.
Bogatstvo vaše istruhnu, i haljine vaše pojedoše moljci;
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.
Zlato vaše i srebro zarða, i rða njihova biæe svjedoèanstvo na vas: izješæe tijelo vaše kao oganj. Stekoste bogatstvo u pošljednje dane.
4 Look, 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 hosts.
Gle, vièe plata vašijeh poslenika koji su radili njive vaše i vi ste im otkinuli; i vika žetelaca doðe do ušiju Gospoda Savaota.
5 You have lived delicately on the earth, and taken your pleasure. You have nourished your hearts in a day of slaughter.
Veseliste se na zemlji, i nasladiste se; uhraniste srca svoja, kao na dan zaklanja.
6 You have condemned, you have murdered the righteous one. He does not resist you.
Osudiste, ubiste pravednika, i ne brani vam se.
7 Be patient therefore, brothers, until the coming of the Lord. Look, the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth, being patient over it, until it receives the early and late rain.
Trpite dakle, braæo moja, do dolaska Gospodnjega. Gle, težak èeka plemenitoga roda iz zemlje, i rado trpi dok ne primi dažd rani i pozni.
8 You also be patient. Establish your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is near.
Trpite dakle i vi, i utvrdite srca svoja, jer se dolazak Gospodnji približi.
9 Do not grumble, brothers, against one another, so that you won't be judged. Look, the judge stands at the door.
Ne uzdišite jedan na drugoga, braæo, da ne budete osuðeni: gle, sudija stoji pred vratima.
10 Take, brothers, for an example of suffering and of patience, the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord.
Uzmite, braæo moja, za ugled stradanja proroke koji govoriše u ime Gospoda.
11 Look, we call them blessed who endured. You have heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the Lord in the outcome, and how the Lord is full of compassion and mercy.
Gle, blažene nazivamo one koji pretrplješe. Trpljenje Jovljevo èuste, i pošljedak Gospodnji vidjeste: jer je Gospod milostiv i smiluje se.
12 But above all things, my brothers, do not swear, neither by heaven, nor by the earth, nor by any other oath; but let your "yes" be "yes," and your "no," "no;" so that you do not fall under judgment.
A prije svega, braæo moja, ne kunite se ni nebom ni zemljom, ni drugom kakvom kletvom; nego neka bude što jest da, i što nije ne, da ne padnete pod sud.
13 Is anyone among you suffering? He should pray. Is anyone cheerful? He should sing praises.
Muèi li se ko meðu vama, neka se moli Bogu; je li ko veseo, neka hvali Boga.
14 Is anyone among you sick? He should call for the elders of the church, and they should pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord.
Boluje li ko meðu vama, neka dozove starješine crkvene, te neka èitaju molitvu nad njim, i neka ga pomažu uljem u ime Gospodnje.
15 And the prayer of faith will save the one who is sick, and the Lord will raise him up. If he has committed sins, he will be forgiven.
I molitva vjere pomoæi æe bolesniku, i podignuæe ga Gospod; i ako je grijehe uèinio, oprostiæe mu se.
16 Therefore confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerfully effective.
Ispovijedajte dakle jedan drugome grijehe, i molite se Bogu jedan za drugoga, da ozdravljate; jer neprestana molitva pravednoga mnogo može pomoæi.
17 Elijah was a human being with a nature like ours, and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain, and it did not rain on the land for three years and six months.
Ilija bješe èovjek smrtan kao i mi, i pomoli se Bogu da ne bude dažda, i ne udari dažd na zemlji za tri godine i šest mjeseci.
18 He prayed again, and the sky gave rain, and the earth brought forth its fruit.
I opet se pomoli i nebo dade dažd, i zemlja iznese rod svoj.
19 My brothers, if any among you wanders from the truth, and someone turns him back,
Braæo! ako ko od vas zaðe s puta istine, i obrati ga ko,
20 let him know that he who turns a sinner from the error of his way will save his soul from death, and will cover a multitude of sins.
Neka zna da æe onaj koji obrati grješnika s krivoga puta njegova spasti dušu od smrti, i pokriti mnoštvo grijeha.
