Yakubu 5
1 Dan nene, anung alle na idinin nimon, sun kuchulu kang bara uniu din cinu udak kitimine.
Listen to me, you rich people, weep and wail for the miseries that are coming upon you!
2 Imon nachara mine na bijjo, inin kidowo mine imonli kijijiyari.
Your riches have wasted away, and your clothes have become moth-eaten.
3 Inin izinariya nin nazurfa mine imon ihem tinin tilo mine ma dursu kanang nato ula nleo nidowo mine. Inani na ceo utamani mine udu ayiri nimalin.
Your gold and silver are rusted; and the rust on them will be evidence against you, and will eat into your flesh. It was fire, so to speak, that you stored up for yourselves in these last days.
4 Yeneng, ubizu na nan katuwa ngirbi nanẹn mine, alle na ina bya nani ba, idi kuchulu! Tutung kuchulu nanan pituru kusana naduru atuff NCikilari Nvat.
Listen! The wages you have held back from the labourers who mowed your fields are crying out against you, and the outcries of your harvesters have reached the ears of the Lord of Hosts!
5 Ina su lisosin nlazun mang nan nya in yi-ulele, inani na lanza nmang nimon nacara mine.
You have lived on earth a life of extravagance and luxury; you have indulged your fancies in a time of bloodshed.
6 Ina su libya nati mine udu liri nimalin. Ina su ushara inin molo unit unan fiu Kutellẹ, ulenge na anati minu imon ba.
You have condemned, you have murdered, the righteous one! Must not God be opposed to you?
7 Bara nani linuwana, tan ayi asheu udi duru kubi ndak Ncikilar, nafo unan nikawa na adin cha kubin girbi nimonli kunen, idin cawe nin nayi asheu ucizunun nwuru kussik nin un kussana.
Be patient, then, friends, until the coming of the Lord. Even the farmer has to wait for the precious fruit of the earth, watching over it patiently, until it has had the spring and summer rains.
8 Anung wang son ni nayi asheu; kele nibinayi mine bara udakin Cikilarẹ daduru susut.
And you must be patient also, and not be discouraged; for the Lord’s coming is near.
9 Na iwa yita sisip ba, linuwana, kitene natimine, iwa su munu ushara'a yene, unan sharawẹ yissin kibulung.
Do not make complaints against one another, friends, or judgment will be passed on you. The judge is already standing at the door!
10 Linuwana na uso minu imon yenju, shonon iyizi iyene uneo nanan kadura Kutellẹ alle na liru nan nya lisan Ncikilari.
Friends, as an example of the patient endurance of suffering, take the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord.
11 Yene tidin yicu alenge na ina ti ayi akone anan “nmari.” na lanza ubelle nayi akonen Ayuba, inani na yene umalzinu katuwa udalilin Ncikilari kitin Ayuba, na Cikilari wa kulun nin kune-kune nin nayi asheu
We count those who displayed such endurance blessed! You have heard, too, of Job’s endurance, and have seen what the Lord’s purpose was, for “the Lord is full of pity and compassion.”
12 Ubun nin nimon vat, nuwana ning, yenje iwa su isili, na nin kitekani, sa ni kutïn, sa imon nisili ba. Nan nya nani na ''kidegen'' mine so ''kidegen'' ''udiru kidegen'' mine so ''udiru kidegen,'' bara iwa diu nan nya nshara.
Above all things, my friends, never take an oath, either by heaven, or by earth, or by anything else. Let your “Yes” suffice for yes, and “No” for no, so that you may escape condemnation.
13 Umong nan nya mine din niuwa? Na ati nlira. Umong mine dinin liburi libowa? Na ati avu liru.
If anyone of you is in trouble, they should pray; if anyone is happy, they should sing hymns.
14 Umong nan nya mine dinin konå? Na ayicila akune kutyin nlira alenge na ina tarda nani acara itighe nlira itintinghe nnuf nan nya Lisan Cikilari,
If anyone of you is ill, they should send for the church elders, and let them pray over them, anointing them with oil in the name of the Lord.
15 mini nliran nan yinnu sa uyenu din shinu nin nan konu, Kutellẹ ba fighe kiti linonin me, adi ana ti kulapi wang, Kutellẹ ma kalughe kuning.
The prayer offered in faith will save the person who is sick, and the Lord will raise them from their bed; and if they have committed sins, they will be forgiven.
16 Bara nani belle alapi mine kiti nati mine, isu ati mine nlira, inan se ushinu. Nliran nan yiru kidegen din dasu nin nimon likara gbardang nan nya katuwa me.
Therefore, confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, so that you may be cured. Great is the power of a good person’s fervent prayer.
17 Iliya unitari wadi nafo arike, amini wa ti nlira nin kibinayi kirum na uwuru nwan jü nan nya nmyen ba, ita akus atat nin tipui kutocin na uwuren jü ba.
Elijah was only human like ourselves, but, when he prayed fervently that it might not rain, no rain fell on the land for three and a half years.
18 Iliya ta nlira tutung, Kutellẹ toltuno uwuru gbardang, kutyin nutuno imonli nin kpih.
And, when he prayed again, the clouds brought rain, and the land bore crops.
19 Nuwana nig, asa umong nan nya mine nlasina kiti kidegen, umong mine nwa kpilaghe ninghe.
My friends, should one of you be led astray from the truth, and someone bring them back again,
20 Na ame yinin nworu ulle na a kpilla nin nan kulapi unuzu libau ntanume aso arucu kidowo kitin nkul, ame ma kussu alapi gbardang.
be sure that the person who brings a sinner back from their mistaken ways will save that person’s soul from death, and will cover a multitude of sins.
