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
Come now, [ye] rich men, weep and howl for your miseries that shall come upon [you].
2 iwo bi a gla ikulon bi immaran ni lri ba
Your riches are corrupted, 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
Your gold and silver is cankered; and the rust of them shall be a testimony against you, and shall eat your flesh as it were fire. Ye have amassed treasure for 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 hire of the laborers who have reaped your fields, which is by you kept back by fraud, crieth: and the cries of them who have reaped have entered into 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
Ye have lived in pleasure on the earth, and been wanton; ye have nourished your hearts, as in a day of slaughter.
6 bi hukunta de wo idid dede u ana san nyu ni yi na
Ye have condemned [and] killed the just; [and] he doth 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, therefore, brethren, to the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience for it, until he receiveth 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
Be ye also patient; establish your hearts; for the coming of the 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.
Grudge not one against another, brethren, lest ye be condemned: behold, the judge 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
Take, my brethren, the prophets, who have spoken in the name of the Lord, for an example of suffering affliction, and of patience.
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 count them happy who endure. Ye have heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the end of the Lord; that the Lord is very pitiful, and of tender mercy.
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 not, neither by heaven, neither by the earth, neither by any other oath: but let your yea, be yea: and [your] nay, nay; lest ye fall into condemnation.
13 u irbi a si shaya kpukpome? du herai irji u idri a ni giri? wa ka yosai u gberesa
Is any among you afflicted? let him pray. Is any cheerful? 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 any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing 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 sick, and the Lord will raise him up; and if he hath committed sins, 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
Confess [your] faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of the righteous man availeth much.
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 man subject to like passions as we are, and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain: and it rained not on the earth by the space of 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 he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth brought forth its fruit.
19 mrivayimu u iribi ni ta baude ni mi njaaji u idior ji u kwmaye
Brethren, if any one of you should err from the truth, and one should convert him;
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 converteth a sinner from the error of his way will save a soul from death, and will hide a multitude of sins.
