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
O ye rich ones, wail and weep, on account of the miseries that are coming upon you.
2 iwo bi a gla ikulon bi immaran ni lri ba
For your wealth is spoiled and putrid; and your garments are 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
and your gold and your silver have contracted rust; and the rust of them will be testimony against you; and it will eat your flesh. Ye have heaped up a fire to you against the latter 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 wages of the laborers who have reaped your ground, which ye have wrongfully retained, crieth out; and the clamor of the reapers hath entered the ears of the Lord of Sabaoth.
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
For ye have lived in pleasure on the earth, and revelled, and feasted your bodies as in a day of slaughter.
6 bi hukunta de wo idid dede u ana san nyu ni yi na
Ye have condemned and slain the just, and none resisted 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
But, my brethren, be ye patient until the advent of the Lord; like the husbandman, who waiteth for the precious fruits of his ground, and is patient as to them, until he receive the early and the latter rain.
8 beyi me bi ka vu sonro be ka no gbegbele isonro bi i ye irji a ti hwiehwire
So also be ye patient, and fortify your hearts; for the advent of our Lord draweth nigh
9 na chaba gbugburu na mrivayimu ni kpa bu nde ndu mba na la yina ya ba u turon a khiri kutara.
Be not querulous one against another, my brethren, lest ye be judged: for lo, the judgment, standeth before the door.
10 ban na ki mrivayi ni sha ya ni vu sonron annabawa be wa mba tre mba ni mi ide irji
For patience in your afflictions, my brethren, take to you the example of 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
For lo, we ascribe blessedness to them who have borne suffering. Ye have heard of the patience of Job; and ye have seen the result which the Lord wrought for him: for the Lord is merciful and compassionate.
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?
But above all things, my brethren, swear ye not; neither by heaven, nor by the earth, nor by any other oath: but let your language be yes, yes, and no, no, lest ye become obnoxious to judgment.
13 u irbi a si shaya kpukpome? du herai irji u idri a ni giri? wa ka yosai u gberesa
And if any of you shall be in affliction, let him pray; or if he be joyous, 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
And if one is sick, let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray for him, and anoint him with oil in the name of our 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 heal him who is sick, and our Lord will raise him up; and if sins have been committed by him, they will be forgiven 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
And confess ye your faults one to another, and pray ye one for another, that ye may be healed; for great is the efficacy of the prayer which a righteous man prayeth.
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 also was a man of sensations like us, and he prayed that rain might not descend upon the earth; and it descended not, for 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 heavens gave rain, and the earth gave forth its fruits.
19 mrivayimu u iribi ni ta baude ni mi njaaji u idior ji u kwmaye
My brethren, if one of you err from the way of truth, and any one convert him from his error;
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 turneth the sinner from the error of his way, will resuscitate his soul from death, and will cover the multitude of his sins.
