James 5
1 ye ziza be yi bi wo bi ka ta yi ni sa wonyu niyu ine shiji wa ani ye ni u gbugbuu
Go, now, you rich! Weep, howling over your miseries that are coming on [you];
2 iwo bi a gla ikulon bi immaran ni lri ba
your riches have rotted, and your garments have become moth-eaten;
3 zinariya ba azurfar bi ba kuklu kuklu a ani no shaida ni tu bi ani gon nmama kpabi na illu be vu ikpi u son bi kari nde ni gbe i vi u kaikle
your gold and silver have rotted, and the rust of them will be to you for a testimony, and will eat your flesh as fire. You have stored up treasure in the last days!
4 yga ie bi ti ndu aniyi ide wa be kayu be wa ba ka chah ikpi ni irju ni yiwu u yi be chah ikpi a hi ito u irji ruduna
Behold, the reward of the workmen cries out, of those who in-gathered your fields, which has been fraudulently kept back by you, and the exclamations of those who reaped have entered into the ears of the LORD of Hosts;
5 bi son ni mi son ikpi u gbuuglu de yo tubi ni mi be yo isonron bi du wuloga ni gbi ivi u hha
you lived in luxury on the earth, and were wanton; you nourished your hearts, as in a day of slaughter;
6 bi hukunta de wo idid dede u ana san nyu ni yi na
you condemned—you murdered the righteous; he does not resist you.
7 ni tu naki be ka vu sonran mrivayi khi gbie ye yesu na wa be ron ba gbie iga da cha ikpi mba ye niko ni vu sonron nda kpailu u mumla ni ilu u kaikle
Be patient, then, brothers, until the coming of the LORD; behold, the farmer expects the precious fruit of the earth, being patient for it, until he may receive rain—early and latter;
8 beyi me bi ka vu sonro be ka no gbegbele isonro bi i ye irji a ti hwiehwire
you also be patient; establish your hearts, because the coming of the LORD has drawn near;
9 na chaba gbugburu na mrivayimu ni kpa bu nde ndu mba na la yina ya ba u turon a khiri kutara.
do not murmur against one another, brothers, that you may not be condemned; behold, the Judge has stood before the door.
10 ban na ki mrivayi ni sha ya ni vu sonron annabawa be wa mba tre mba ni mi ide irji
Brothers, [as] an example of the suffering of evil and of patience, take the prophets who spoke in the Name of the LORD;
11 ya khi yo be wa mba vu sonrona ba be ti lulu be wo be be vu sonron wa Ayuba a tia be ka toh nde a hi idu irji na wa a he ni lo sonro ni jikai
behold, we call those who are enduring blessed; you heard of the endurance of Job, and you have seen the end from the LORD, that the LORD is very compassionate, and pitying.
12 nituwawu mrivayimu na shidi ni me me mba ni shu ko ni meme ko ni ikpiri u shidi nitu naki e a hi e u be ta tre nde a du hi a a du yi na joku ni mi hukunci na?
And before all things, my brothers, do not swear, neither by Heaven, neither by the earth, neither by any other oath, but let your “Yes” be yes, and the “No,” no, that you may not fall under judgment.
13 u irbi a si shaya kpukpome? du herai irji u idri a ni giri? wa ka yosai u gberesa
Does anyone suffer evil among you? Let him pray; is anyone of good cheer? Let him sing psalms;
14 iri ni lo ni mi bi? wa a ka yo be nikon u tra irji du mba bere irji ni a u da gbah iyee ni wu ni mi nde irji
is anyone sick among you? Let him call for the elders of the assembly, and let them pray over him, having anointed him with oil, in the Name of the LORD,
15 ibere u kponji ani den idi u liloirji ni zu lude wa ani ta latre irji a ni wuru kalle wu
and the prayer of faith will save the distressed one, and the LORD will raise him up, and if he may have committed sins, they will be forgiven to him.
16 ni tu naki be kahla latre bi ni kpabi nde ta bere irji du no yi gbegble wawa bi ibere idi u dede a he ni gbegbele du u njaaji
Be confessing to one another the trespasses, and be praying for one another, that you may be healed; very strong is a working supplication of a righteous man;
17 iliya a hi idime na khi ta a bere ni kpohji an de illu na juna i illuwa na ku ni gbula na ti isai tra ni hwatahne
Elijah was a similar-feeling man as us, and with prayer he prayed—not to rain, and it did not rain on the land three years and six months;
18 u illiya ka labere irji na ki u shulu ka du illu ku u meme ka no ikolo kugrua
and again he prayed, and the sky gave rain, and the land brought forth her fruit.
19 mrivayimu u iribi ni ta baude ni mi njaaji u idior ji u kwmaye
Brothers, if anyone among you may go astray from the truth, and anyone may turn him back,
20 indi ki ka toh ande idi wa a kwhandi sanra ni latre ma ani kpa a chuwo ni ohu nda ka gbu gbu latre ma
let him know that he who turned back a sinner from the straying of his way will save a soul from death, and will cover a multitude of sins.
