James 5
1 Come now, you who are rich, weep and wail over the misery to come upon you.
He! ianareo manan-karena, mitomania sy midradradradrà noho ny fahoriana izay efa manjo anareo.
2 Your riches have rotted and moths have eaten your clothes.
Ny harenareo efa simba, ary ny fitafianareo efa lanin’ ny kalalao.
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.
Ny volamena sy ny volafotsinareo dia efa harafesina; ary ny harafesiny dia ho vavolombelona hiampanga anareo sady handany ny nofonareo tahaka ny afo. Efa namory harena amin’ ny andro farany ianareo.
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.
Indro, ny karaman’ ny mpiasa nijinja ny taninareo, izay hazoninareo, dia mitaraina; ary ny fitarainan’ ny mpijinja dia efa tafiditra amin’ ny sofin’ ny Tompon’ ny maro.
5 You have lived on earth in luxury and self-indulgence. You have fattened your hearts in the day of slaughter.
Efa velona tamin’ ny fy tetỳ ambonin’ ny tany ianareo sady nanaram-po tamin’ ny fahafinaretana; efa namahy ny fonareo tamin’ ny andro hamonoana ianareo.
6 You have condemned and murdered the righteous, who did not resist you.
Efa nanameloka namono ny marina ianareo; fa tsy manohitra anareo izy.
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.
Ary amin’ izany dia mahareta tsara, ry rahalahy, mandra-pihavin’ ny Tompo. Indro, ny mpiasa tany miandry ny voka-tsoa amin’ ny tany ka maharitra amin’ izany mandra-pahazony ny ranonorana aloha sy aoriana.
8 You, too, be patient and strengthen your hearts, because the Lord’s coming is near.
Mahareta koa ianareo, mampahereza ny fonareo, fa efa mby akaiky ny fihavian’ ny Tompo.
9 Do not complain about one another, brothers, so that you will not be judged. Look, the Judge is standing at the door!
Aza mifampimonomonona, ry rahalahy, fandrao hohelohina ianareo; Indro, ny Mpitsara efa mitsangana eo anoloan’ ny varavarana.
10 Brothers, as an example of patience in affliction, take the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord.
Ry rahalahiko, aoka ny mpaminany izay niteny tamin’ ny anaran’ ny Tompo no halainareo ho fianarana ny fandeferam-pahoriana sy ny faharetana.
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.
Indro, ataontsika fa sambatra izay efa naharitra. Efa renareo ny faharetan’ i Joba ary efa hitanareo ny faran’ ny nataon’ ny Tompo taminy, fa miantra indrindra ny Tompo sady be famindram-po.
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.
Fa mihoatra noho ny zavatra rehetra, ry rahalahiko, aza mianiana, na amin’ ny lanitra, na amin’ ny tany, na amin’ izay fianianana hafa akory aza; fa aoka ny fanaikinareo ho “Eny”, ary ny fandànareo ho “Tsia”, fandrao hiharan’ ny fitsarana ianareo.
13 Is any one of you suffering? He should pray. Is anyone cheerful? He should sing praises.
Misy azom-pahoriana va eo aminareo? Aoka izy hivavaka. Misy faly va? Aoka izy hihira fiderana.
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.
Misy marary va eo aminareo? Aoka izy hampaka ny loholon’ ny fiangonana; ary aoka hanosotra diloilo azy amin’ ny anaran’ ny Tompo ireo sady hivavaka eo aminy;
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.
ary ny fivavaky ny finoana dia hamonjy ilay marary, fa ny Tompo hanangana azy; ary raha nanota izy, dia havela ny helony.
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.
Koa mifaneke heloka ianareo, ary mifampivavaha, mba ho sitrana ianareo. Ny fiàsan’ ny fivavaky ny marina dia mahery indrindra.
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 dia olona tahaka antsika ihany, ary izy nahery nivavaka mba tsy hilatsahan’ ny ranonorana; dia tsy nilatsaka tamin’ ny tany ny ranonorana telo taona sy enim-bolana.
18 Again he prayed, and the heavens gave rain, and the earth yielded its crops.
Ary nivavaka indray izy, dia nandatsaka ranonorana ny lanitra, ka nahavokatra ny tany.
19 My brothers, if one of you should wander from the truth and someone should bring him back,
Ry rahalahiko, raha misy eo aminareo miala amin’ ny fahamarinana, ary misy anankiray mampibebaka azy,
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.
aoka ho fantany fa izay mampibebaka ny mpanota hiala amin’ ny lalan’ ny fahadisoany dia hamonjy fanahy tsy ho faty sady hanarona heloka be.
