James 5
1 Come now, you who are rich, weep and wail over the misery to come upon you.
Moala yinba a piada! Yin ya buudi mani a bubupaala kelima ya fala n baa baa yipo yaapo.
2 Your riches have rotted and moths have eaten your clothes.
Yi piama bedi, ti lulugidi mo ŋmani yi tiayiekaadi.
3 Your gold and silver are corroded. Their corrosion will testify against you and consume your flesh like fire. You have hoarded treasure in the last days.
I tantonmoani biidi yi wula leni yi ŋanjilifa. I tantonmoani yeni baa fii ki sedi yipo ki kuli yi, ki bolini yi gbannandi nani mi fantama yeni. Yi dogini dogini yi ŋalimani a juodidana na niinni.
4 Look, the wages you withheld from the workmen who mowed your fields are crying out against you. The cries of the harvesters have reached the ears of the Lord of Hosts.
Diidi, ya tuonsoaba n den yendi i kuani ke yi janbi ba yeni, panpaani mua ki kuli yi. Yaaba n den yendi yi kpaandi ya moe mo doni ki pundi ŋali o Diedo U Paaciamu kuli daano tuba nni.
5 You have lived on earth in luxury and self-indulgence. You have fattened your hearts in the day of slaughter.
Yi den ye ŋanduna nni leni mi yemanma ki go kuandi yi yama yi gbannandi bonbuakaala nni. Yi den di ki gbengidi nani a yanwubida ban wubi yaaba mi kodima daali po yeni.
6 You have condemned and murdered the righteous, who did not resist you.
Yi cuo o niteginkoa ki jia leni ti buudi ki kpa o, waa yie yipo.
7 Be patient, then, brothers, until the Lord’s coming. See how the farmer awaits the precious fruit of the soil—how patient he is for the fall and spring rains.
Lanwani n kpiiba, yin ya pia li juunli ŋali o Diedo cuama. Diidi mani, o kpakpaalo yen gu ki tinga bonluonkaala, yaala n pia mayuli ŋali boncianla, ki juuni lipo ŋali wan baa baa ki takpiaga leni ki tajuodikaaga kuli.
8 You, too, be patient and strengthen your hearts, because the Lord’s coming is near.
Yi moko n juuni ki paagi yi pala, kelima o Diedo cuama nagini.
9 Do not complain about one another, brothers, so that you will not be judged. Look, the Judge is standing at the door!
N kpiiba, yin da yenbidi mani yi yaba po ke U Tienu n da bu ki cuo yi lipo. Diidi, o bujialo tuodi ki se bu buliñoabu kani.
10 Brothers, as an example of patience in affliction, take the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord.
N kpiiba, yin teni mani bi sawalipuaba ya fala leni bi juunli n ya tie yipo bontogidikaala, bani yaaba n den maadi o Diedo yeli nni.
11 See how blessed we consider those who have persevered. You have heard of Job’s perseverance and have seen the outcome from the Lord. The Lord is full of compassion and mercy.
Diidi mani, ti tua ke li pamancianli ye leni yaaba n laa fala ki go juuni lienni. Yi gbadi Joba n den pia ya juunli leni o Diedo n den yuandi ki puni o yaala o juodima yogunu. Kelima o Diedo pia mi niŋigbadima ki go pia li ŋanbili boncianla.
12 Above all, my brothers, do not swear, not by heaven or earth or by any other oath. Simply let your “Yes” be yes, and your “No,” no, so that you will not fall under judgment.
N kpiiba, yaala n pia mayuli tie line: yin da poli mani leni tanpoli, bi leni ki tinga, baa leni poliba kuli. Ama yi ya yedi: “Mm,” lan ya tie mm. Yi ya yedi: “A-a,” mo lan ya tie a-a, ke U Tienu n da ti jia leni yi ti buudi.
13 Is any one of you suffering? He should pray. Is anyone cheerful? He should sing praises.
Naani yi siiga niloba ye leni fala bi? Wan jaandi. Naani niloba ye leni li pamanli bi? Wan yiini U Tienu yani ki pagi o.
14 Is any one of you sick? He should call the elders of the church to pray over him and anoint him with oil in the name of the Lord.
Naani yi siiga niloba yia bi? Wan yini Kilisiti n yini yaaba nikpeliba ban jaandi opo, ki wuli opo mi kpama o Diedo yeli nni.
15 And the prayer offered in faith will restore the one who is sick. The Lord will raise him up. If he has sinned, he will be forgiven.
Li dandanli ya jaandi baa paagi yua n yia yeni. O Diedo baa fiini o. Li ya tie ke o den tieni ti tuonbiadi, o baa baa sugili.
16 Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man has great power to prevail.
Lanwani yin tuo mani yi tuonbiadi yi yaba nintuali, ki go ya jaandi yi yaba po ke yin paagi. O niteginkoa jaandimoani pia u paalu ŋali boncianla.
17 Elijah was a man just like us. He prayed earnestly that it would not rain, and it did not rain on the land for three and a half years.
Elia den tie nisaalo nani tinba yeni. O den jaandi jaandimoani ke ki taaga n da mi. Ki taaga naa den baa laa diema nni ŋali binataa leni boagidima.
18 Again he prayed, and the heavens gave rain, and the earth yielded its crops.
Lani n pendi o go den jaandi ke ki taaga den mini, ke ki tinga mo loni ki bonluonkaala.
19 My brothers, if one of you should wander from the truth and someone should bring him back,
N kpiiba, yi siiga niyendo ya yaadi ki ŋa i moamoani, ke nitoa gobidi ki guani o lienni,
20 consider this: Whoever turns a sinner from the error of his way will save his soul from death and cover over a multitude of sins.
wan bandi ke yua n gobidi ki guani ti tuonbiadi daano wan den lebidi ki ŋa ya sanu nni, o faabi o wan da kua mi kuuma nni, ki piini ya tuonbiadi n yaba boncianla.
