< James 5 >

1 Come now, you rich, weep and howl for your miseries that are coming on you.
Muje woli, bhanu muli bhanibhi, mulile kwo bhulaka bhwaingulu kulwokubha eija okuja inyako kwimwe.
2 Your riches are corrupted and your garments are moth-eaten.
Obhunibhi bhwemwe bhwanyamuhye na jingubho jemwe jagugunilwe na mafunyo amanyamusi.
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.
Jijaabhu jemwe na jimpilya jabhulilwe obhwekisi, no bhunyamuke bhwajo obhulola ingulu yemwe no kusimagisha emibhili jemwe lwo mulilo. Mweteleeo libhikilo lyemwe munsiku jo bhutelo.
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.
Mbe mulole, omuyelo gwa bhakosi bhanu muchali kubhayana omuyelo kulwokugesa amasambu gemwe-abhalila! Echikunga cha bhanu bhagesele ebhiyambwa bhyemwe chakingile mumatwi ga Latabhugenyi we bhise.
5 You have lived in luxury on the earth, and taken your pleasure. You have nourished your hearts as in a day of slaughter.
Mwekaye kwo lumula muchalo nimwikondelesha emwe abhene. Nimwiyamya mumioyo jemwe kulisiku lwo kuchinjwa.
6 You have condemned and you have murdered the righteous one. He doesn’t resist you.
Mwamulamuye no kumwita omulengelesi unu atakutula kubhabhuma.
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.
Kulwejo mwikomeshe, bhana bhasu, okukinga okuja kwa Latabhugenyi, labha omulimi kalinda ebhigeswa bhyo bhwana okusoka munsi, nalinda kwo kwikomesha ingulu yae, okukinga ingubha yo kwamba ne jamwisho jikagwa.
8 You also be patient. Establish your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is at hand.
Emwona mubhe bhekomesha; mulumyega emyoyo jemwe, kulwokubha okuja kwa Latabhugenyi kulyayeyi.
9 Don’t grumble, brothers, against one another, so that you won’t be judged. Behold, the judge stands at the door.
Bhana bhasu, musige okwitoganganila emwe kwe mwe, mutaja kulamulwa. Mulole, omulamusi kemelegulu kumulyango.
10 Take, brothers, for an example of suffering and of perseverance, the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord.
Kwechijejekanyo, bhana bhasu, mulole okunyansibhwa no kwikomesha kwa bhalagi bhanu bhalomaga mwi sina lya Latabhugenyi.
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.
Lola, echibhabhilikila bhanu abhekomesha, “bhana libhando.” Mwonguhye obhwikomesha bhwa Ayubu, nomulimenya eliikanyo lya Latabhugenyi ingulu ya Ayubu, nilwakutiki kutyo Latabhugenyi ejuye obhufula ne chigongo.
12 But above all things, my brothers, don’t 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 don’t fall into hypocrisy.
Okukila bhyona, bhana bhasu, mutalaila, nolo kwo lwile nolo kwa insi, nolo kwe chilailo echindi. Nawe ati “yee” yemwe naibhe “yee” na “payi” yemwe ibhe “payi”, koleleki mutaja kugwila mundamu.
13 Is any among you suffering? Let him pray. Is any cheerful? Let him sing praises.
Alio umwi mwimwe unu ali na inyanko? Nibhusibhusi asabhe. Angu, omunu wonawona unu kakondelelwa? Nembe jinyimbo jalikusho.
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;
Angu, alio wona wona agati yemwe unu ali mulwae? Nabhabhilikile abhakaluka bhwa ikanisa, na abhakaluka bha ikanisa bhasabhwe ingulu yae, nibhamubhambaga amafuta mwi sina lya Latabhugenyi,
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.
na lisabha lye likilisha elimuosha omulwae, na Latabhugenyi kamwimusha. Na labha akabha akolele ebhibhibhi, Nyamuanga kamufwila chigongo.
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.
Kulwejo mwigambilanega ebhibhibhi bhyemwe emwe kwemwe, nokusabhilana bhuli munu no wejabho, koleleki mubhone okwiulisibhwa. Lisabha lyo mulengelesi agebhula managa mamfu.
17 Elijah was a man with a nature like ours, and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain, and it didn’t rain on the earth for three years and six months.
Eliya ona aliga alimunu lweswe, asabhile kwa managa ingubha isige kugwa, na itaguye kunsi kwo mwanya gwa miyaka esatu na mesi sita.
18 He prayed again, and the sky gave rain, and the earth produced its fruit.
Na Eliya asabhile lindi, no lwile nilwitila ingubha ingulu ya insi na insi nisosha ebhigeswa.
19 Brothers, if any among you wanders from the truth and someone turns him back,
Bhana bhasu, labha umwi mwimwe akayabha okusoka mubhyechimali, nawe omunu oundi namusubhya,
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.
namenyati wona wona unu kamutangasha owebhibhibhi okusoka munjila jae jo bhukayi kakisha omwoyo okusoka mukufwa na kafundikila obhwamfu bhwe bhibhibhi.
