James 5
1 Come now, you who are rich, weep and wail over the misery to come upon you.
Hei atahori mamasuꞌiꞌ re! Pasa ndikiꞌ mara fo rena malolole! Hei milaka mala atahori, mana tao-ues ritaꞌ mamate nara fee nggi, nggadꞌi nara. Ia naa mbusa-titi nara rameli rafadꞌe pepeko-leleko mara. Lamatuaꞌ manaseliꞌ a, rena atahori mana tao-ues ra sususa nara. Hei ue-taos mara sia raefafoꞌ ia, naeni akaꞌ tao mimihoꞌo neuꞌ a ao mara, ma misodꞌa mimihoꞌoꞌ a. Ia naa hei onaꞌ sapi mbaruna fo rae tati e. Hei o huku-doki ma misa atahori maloleꞌ, mana nda rasalaꞌe rala ao nara sia mata mara sa. Atahori mamasuꞌiꞌ re! Ama nggae ei-ei leo! Te dei fo doidꞌosoꞌ mataꞌ hetar dai nggi. Hata-heto mara sangga rambalutu hendi se ena. Bꞌua-loꞌa meulau mara o, mbaꞌi a naa hendi se. Lilo mbilas no lilo fula mara nda rafeli sa ena. Dei fo lilo mbilas no lilo fula mara bꞌuꞌi nggi, onaꞌ ai hotu hendi hau metoꞌ. Taꞌo bee de raefafoꞌ nae sambu-lalo, te hei feꞌe tasibꞌu miꞌidꞌuru hata-heto mates naa ra? Hata-heto mara dei fo dadꞌi bukti oi, hei nda mihine saa, mafelit sia Lamatuaꞌ matan sa!
2 Your riches have rotted and moths have eaten your clothes.
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.
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.
5 You have lived on earth in luxury and self-indulgence. You have fattened your hearts in the day of slaughter.
6 You have condemned and murdered the righteous, who did not resist you.
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.
Dadꞌi toronoo nggare! Hei musi miꞌitataaꞌ mihani Lamatuaꞌ neneman. Mete neu atahori mana ue-rae a, naꞌatataaꞌ nahani rae a mbule-bꞌoan. Udꞌan nema, ana sela-nggari. Basa naa, ana nahani udꞌan fai fo tao sela-nggariꞌ ra nggarui. Dꞌodꞌoo ma rambule-rabꞌoa. Losa fain ma, atahori naa neu etu-oru raen mbule-bꞌoa nara.
8 You, too, be patient and strengthen your hearts, because the Lord’s coming is near.
Hei musi mihani onaꞌ naa boe. Maꞌadedere ao mara, nda doo sa te, Lamatua nema ena!
9 Do not complain about one another, brothers, so that you will not be judged. Look, the Judge is standing at the door!
Toronoo nggare! Afiꞌ unggu-remu esa no esa. Unggu-remu mikindooꞌ a, te dei fo Lamatuaꞌ naꞌetuꞌ huku-dokiꞌ neu nggi! Mete neuꞌ ena, te Mana Nggero-furi mana sia ataꞌ a, nambarii sia mata mara ena.
10 Brothers, as an example of patience in affliction, take the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord.
Toronoo nggare! Tungga conto mia Lamatuaꞌ mana ola-ola nara. Mae ara hambu sususaꞌ mataꞌ-mataꞌ, te ara raꞌatataaꞌ rakandooꞌ a.
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.
Mete ma hambu atahori raꞌatataaꞌ sia susa-sonaꞌ, hita hiiꞌ a soꞌu tananaru atahori naa naran. Onaꞌ baꞌi Ayub. Ana hambu susa-sonaꞌ mataꞌ-mataꞌ, te ana naꞌatataaꞌ nahereꞌ. Boe ma Lamatuaꞌ tudꞌa kasian neu e, de ana tao basaꞌ e dadꞌi maloleꞌ fee neu e. Lamatuaꞌ tao taꞌo naa, huu ralan maloleꞌ ma sofeꞌ no susueꞌ.
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.
Toronoo nggare! Tungga matetun, ama afiꞌ soꞌu susumbaꞌ. Mete ma mae mifadꞌe mae, “ia”, na, mitaa mae “ia”. Ma mete ma mae mifadꞌe mae, “hokoꞌ”, na, mitaa mae “hokoꞌ” Onaꞌ naa dai ena! Afiꞌ miseliꞌ soꞌu susumbaꞌ mendiꞌ atahori raefafoꞌ naran. Lenaꞌ fai sumba mendiꞌ Lamatualain mana masodꞌaꞌ sia lalai a naran. Nda hambu nggunan soꞌu susumbaꞌ mataꞌ-mataꞌ sa. Te mete ma taꞌo naa, na, simbo teme-ao huku-dꞌoki ma, huu susumba mara.
13 Is any one of you suffering? He should pray. Is anyone cheerful? He should sing praises.
Mete ma hambu sia hei mana susa-sonaꞌ, malole lenaꞌ ana hule-oꞌe. Ma mete ma hambu sia mana namahoꞌoꞌ, malole lenaꞌ ana sodꞌa koa-kio Lamatuaꞌ.
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.
Mete ma hambu sia hei mana mamahedꞌi ra, na, malole lenaꞌ moꞌe lasi-lasi saraniꞌ ra rema. Moꞌe se oꞌose mina neu mamahedꞌi a, ma hule-oꞌe mendiꞌ Lamatuaꞌ naran, fo Lamatuaꞌ naꞌahahaiꞌ e.
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.
Mete ma hei hule-oꞌe fee atahori hedꞌis ra, ma mimihere tebꞌe-tebꞌeꞌ neu Lamatuaꞌ, dei fo Lamatuaꞌ naꞌahahaiꞌ atahori naa. Ma mete ma atahori naa tao salaꞌ ena, dei fo Lamatuaꞌ fee ambon neu sala-kilun.
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.
Dadꞌi mete ma hambu sia hei tao salaꞌ, na, hei musi mitaa sala mara. No taꞌo naa, hei esa hule-oꞌe fee esa, naa fo hei dadꞌi maloleꞌ. Atahori rala meumareꞌ, hule-oꞌen sofeꞌ no koasa, ma bisa nendiꞌ hahambu maloleꞌ.
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.
Onaꞌ baꞌi Elia. Eni o, atahori onaꞌ hita boe. Te ana hule-oꞌe naꞌangge udꞌan, ma nda dooꞌ sa ma udꞌan o naloeꞌ boe. De nda udꞌan losa too telu seseriꞌ sa.
18 Again he prayed, and the heavens gave rain, and the earth yielded its crops.
Basa ma, ana hule-oꞌe noꞌe udꞌan, ma nda dooꞌ sa ma udꞌan o nema boe. Uru a modꞌo-modꞌo baliꞌ, ma osi-lutu ra o rambule-rabꞌoa baliꞌ.
19 My brothers, if one of you should wander from the truth and someone should bring him back,
Toronoo nggare! Mete ma hambu ruma sia hei mulai tao salaꞌ de lao hela dꞌala ndoo-tetuꞌ a, basa ma hambu mana tulu-fali de ro baliꞌ e nisiꞌ Lamatuaꞌ dꞌala ndoo-tetun, naa malole.
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.
Misinedꞌa ia malolole! Mete ma hei tulun atahori mana tao salaꞌ, fo ana baliꞌ nisiꞌ Lamatuaꞌ, ma nda tao salaꞌ sa ena, hei mo baliꞌ atahori naa nisi dꞌala masodꞌaꞌ ena, de ana hambu masodꞌaꞌ nakandoo no Lamatuaꞌ. No taꞌo naa, Lamatuaꞌ ose hendi basa sala-kilun ena. Taꞌo naa ena! Mia au, Yakobis
