James 5
1 Come now, you who are rich, weep and wail over the misery to come upon you.
Isin yaa sooreyyii, sababii dhiphinni isinitti dhufuuf jiruutiif booʼaa; wawwaadhaas.
2 Your riches have rotted and moths have eaten your clothes.
Qabeenyi keessan tortoreera; biliinis uffata keessan nyaateera.
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.
Warqee fi meetiin keessan sameera. Dandaaʼuun isaaniis isinitti dhugaa baʼa; akkuma ibiddaattis foon keessan nyaata. Isin bara dhumaatiif qabeenya walitti qabattaniirtu.
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.
Kunoo, mindaan isin warra midhaan keessan haaman dhowwattan sun ni iyya. Iyyi warra midhaan keessan walitti qabaniis gurra Gooftaa Waan Hunda Dandaʼu sanaa seeneera.
5 You have lived on earth in luxury and self-indulgence. You have fattened your hearts in the day of slaughter.
Isin qananii fi gammachuun lafa irra jiraattaniirtu. Guyyaa qalmaatiifis of gabbiftaniirtu.
6 You have condemned and murdered the righteous, who did not resist you.
Nama qajeelaa isiniin hin morminetti murtanii ajjeeftu.
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.
Kanaafuu yaa obboloota, hamma dhufaatii Gooftaatti obsaa. Qonnaan bulaan tokko lafa irraa midhaan gaarii argachuuf hammam akka eeggatu, bokkaa duraatii fi kan dhumaa hamma argattuttis hammam akka obsu hubadhaa.
8 You, too, be patient and strengthen your hearts, because the Lord’s coming is near.
Isinis akkasuma obsaa; jabaadhaa dhaabadhaas; dhufaatiin Gooftaa dhiʼaateeraatii.
9 Do not complain about one another, brothers, so that you will not be judged. Look, the Judge is standing at the door!
Yaa obboloota, akka isinitti hin muramneef walitti hin guunguminaa. Kunoo, Abbaan Murtii balbala dura dhaabateera.
10 Brothers, as an example of patience in affliction, take the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord.
Yaa obboloota, raajota maqaa Gooftaatiin dubbachaa turan sana akka fakkeenya dhiphinaa fi obsaatti fudhadhaa.
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.
Kunoo, nu warra obsaan jabaattanii dhaabatan sanaan eebbifamoo jenna; Iyyoob obsuu isaa dhageessaniirtu; waan Gooftaan dhuma irratti isaaf godhes argitaniirtu. Gooftaan gara laafinaa fi araaraan kan guutamee dha.
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.
Hundumaa caalaa immoo yaa obboloota ko, hin kakatinaa; samiin yookaan lafaan yookaan waan biraa tokkoon illee hin kakatinaa. Wanni isin jechuu qabdan, “Eeyyee” yookaan “waawuu” haa taʼu. Yoo kanaa achii isinitti murama.
13 Is any one of you suffering? He should pray. Is anyone cheerful? He should sing praises.
Isin keessaa namni dhiphachaa jiru jiraa? Inni haa kadhatu. Namni gammadu jiraa? Inni faarfannaa galataa haa faarfatu.
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.
Isin keessaa namni dhukkubsatu jiraa? Inni jaarsolii waldaa kiristaanaa haa waamsifatu; isaanis maqaa Gooftaatiin zayitii isa dibanii haa kadhataniif.
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.
Kadhannaan amantiin godhamu nama dhukkubsatu ni fayyisa; Gooftaanis isa ni kaasa. Yoo inni cubbuu hojjetee jiraates ni dhiifamaaf.
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.
Kanaafuu akka fayyitaniif cubbuu keessan walitti himadhaatii walii kadhadhaa. Kadhannaan nama qajeelaa humna qaba; waan guddaas ni hojjeta.
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.
Eeliyaas namuma akka keenyaa ture. Innis akka bokkaan hin roobneef jabeessee kadhate; bokkaanis waggaa sadii fi jiʼa jaʼa lafa irratti hin roobne.
18 Again he prayed, and the heavens gave rain, and the earth yielded its crops.
Ammas deebiʼee kadhate; samiin bokkaa kenne; laftis midhaan baafte.
19 My brothers, if one of you should wander from the truth and someone should bring him back,
Yaa obboloota ko, isin keessaa namni tokko yoo dhugaa irraa fagaate, namni biraa immoo yoo isa deebise,
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.
inni nama cubbamaa karaa jalʼaa irraa deebisu lubbuu namicha sanaa akka duʼa jalaa baasu, cubbuu baayʼees akka dhoksu haa beeku.
