James 5
1 Come now, you men of wealth, give yourselves to weeping and crying because of the bitter troubles which are coming to you.
E HELE oukou, e ka poe waiwai, e uwe oukou me ka aoa aku no na ehaeha e kau mai ana maluna o oukou.
2 Your wealth is unclean and insects have made holes in your clothing.
Ua popopo ko oukou waiwai, ua pau hoi ko oukou kapa aahu i ka mu.
3 Your gold and your silver are wasted and their waste will be a witness against you, burning into your flesh. You have put by your store in the last days.
Ua aiia e ka popo ko oukou gula, a me ko oukou kala; he hoike ka popo o ia mau mea no oukou, a e ai aku i ko oukou io me he ahi la. Ua hoiliili oukou no na la mahope.
4 See, the money which you falsely kept back from the workers cutting the grass in your field, is crying out against you; and the cries of those who took in your grain have come to the ears of the Lord of armies.
Aia hoi, o ka uku o ka poe hana nana i hoiliili ai ma ka oukou mau mahinaai i paa hewa ia oukou, ke kahea aku nei ia; a o ke kahea ana o ka poe hoiliili, komo ae la ia iloko o na pepeiao o ka Haku Sabaota.
5 You have been living delicately on earth and have taken your pleasure; you have made your hearts fat for a day of destruction.
Ua noho lealea oukou ma ka honua me ke kuulala loa: ua kupalu oukou i ko oukou naau no ka la e make ai.
6 You have given your decision against the upright man and have put him to death. He puts up no fight against you.
Ua hoohewa oukou me ka pepehi aku hoi i ka mea pono; aole oia i pale aku ia oukou.
7 Go on waiting calmly, my brothers, till the coming of the Lord, like the farmer waiting for the good fruit of the earth till the early and late rains have come.
I nui ke aho, e na hoahanau, a hiki mai ka Haku. Eia hoi, ke kakali nei ka mahiai i ka hua ohaha o ka honua, e hoomanawanui ana ma ia mea a hiki mai ke kuaua mua a me ke kuaua hope.
8 Be as calm in your waiting; let your hearts be strong: because the coming of the Lord is near.
E ahonui no hoi oukou, e hooikaika i ko oukou naau; no ka mea, ua kokoke mai ka hiki ana mai o ka Haku.
9 Say no hard things against one another, brothers, so that you will not be judged; see, the judge is waiting at the doors.
E na hoahanau, mai ohumu aku kekahi i kekahi, o hoohewaia mai oukou. Eia hoi, ke ku mai nei ka lunakanawai ma ka puka.
10 Take as an example of pain nobly undergone and of strength in trouble, the prophets who gave to men the words of the Lord.
E na hoahanau o'u, e hoomanao oukou i ka poe kaula i olelo mai ai ma ka inoa o ka Haku, ia lakou no ka hoomaewaewaia, a me ke ahonui.
11 We say that those men who have gone through pain are happy: you have the story of Job and the troubles through which he went and have seen that the Lord was full of pity and mercy in the end.
Aia hoi, ke kapa nei kakou i ka poe hoomanawanui, he pomaikai. Ua lohe oukou i ka hoomanawanui ana o Ioba, a ua ike oukou i ka ka Haku hope; ua lokomaikai nui ka Haku me ke aloha mai.
12 But most of all, my brothers, do not take oaths, not by the heaven, or by the earth, or by any other thing: but let your Yes be Yes, and your No be No: so that you may not be judged.
He oiaio hoi, e na hoahanau o'u, mai hoohiki ino iki, aole i ka lani, aole i ka honua, aole hoi ma na hoohiki e ae: aka, e hoolilo i ko oukou ae i ae io, a me ko oukou hoole, i ole io; o haule oukou i ka hoohewaia mai.
13 Is anyone among you in trouble? let him say prayers. Is anyone glad? let him make a song of praise.
I ehaeha anei kekahi o oukou? e pule oia; a i hauoli anei kekahi? e himeni aku ia.
14 Is anyone among you ill? let him send for the rulers of the church; and let them say prayers over him, putting oil on him in the name of the Lord.
Ina he mai ko kekahi o oukou, e kii aku oia i ka poe lunakahiko o ka ekalesia; a e pule lakou maluna ona, me ka hamo ana ia ia i ka aila ma ka inoa o ka Haku,
15 And by the prayer of faith the man who is ill will be made well, and he will be lifted up by the Lord, and for any sin which he has done he will have forgiveness.
A o ka pule o ka mauaoio, e hoola no ia i ka mea mai, a na ka Haku e hoala mai ia ia; a ina i hana hewa oia, e kalaia mai ia.
16 So then, make a statement of your sins to one another, and say prayers for one another so that you may be made well. The prayer of a good man is full of power in its working.
E hai aku i ko oukou mau hewa kekahi i kekahi, a e pule hoi kekahi no kekahi, i pohala ai oukou. O ka pule ikaika a ke kanaka pono e lanakila nui ia.
17 Elijah was a man of flesh and blood as we are, and he made a strong prayer that there might be no rain; and there was no rain on the earth for three years and six months.
He kanaka no o Elia, ua like kona ano me ko kakou, a pule ikaika aku ia, i ua ole mai; aole loa i ua mai ma ka honua i na makahiki ekolu a me na malama keu eono.
18 And he made another prayer, and the heaven sent down rain and the earth gave her fruit.
A pule hou aku ia, a haawi mai no ka lani i ka ua, a hooulu mai ka honua i kona hua.
19 My brothers, if one of you has gone out of the way of the true faith and another has made him see his error,
E na hoahanau, ina e hele hewa kekahi o oukou, mai ka oiaio ae, a e hoohuli mai kekahi ia ia;
20 Be certain that he through whom a sinner has been turned from the error of his way, keeps a soul from death and is the cause of forgiveness for sins without number.
E ike pono oia, o ka mea e hoohuli mai ana i ka mea hewa, mai kona hele hewa ana mai, nana no i hoopakele ae ka uhane i ka make, a nana hoi i hooki i ka hewa he nui loa.
