James 5
1 Act now, you who are wealthy! Weep and wail in your miseries, which will soon come upon you!
Sambano mpilikane ŵanyamwe ŵaipanje! Nlile ni kulila kwa malumbo kwa ligongo lya kulaga kwakukunnyichilila.
2 Your riches have been corrupted, and your garments have been eaten by moths.
Ipanje yenu iwosile ni minjilo jenu jililikwe ni chimbulukuku.
3 Your gold and silver have rusted, and their rust will be a testimony against you, and it will eat away at your flesh like fire. You have stored up wrath for yourselves unto the last days.
Sahabu jenu ni mbiya syenu sikamwile ukutu ni ukutu wakwe chiuŵe umboni pasikati jenu pakuŵa chiijonanje iilu yenu mpela mooto yaukuti kutinisya. Ŵanyamwe nliunjichile ipanje kwa moŵa ga mbesi.
4 Consider the pay of the workers who reaped your fields: it has been misappropriated by you; it cries out. And their cry has entered into the ears of the Lord of hosts.
Nganimwalipa aŵala ŵaŵapangenye masengo mmigunda mwenu. Mpilikanile yakuti kulalatila, kulila kwa ŵandu ŵakugowola mmigunda jenu kuiche mmapikanilo ga Ambuje ŵaali ni ukombole.
5 You have feasted upon the earth, and you have nourished your hearts with luxuries, unto the day of slaughter.
Ntemi mchilambo kwa utame wakulisengwasya kwannope. Nlijimbesye mwachinsyene mpela ng'ombe jajili chile kwa lyuŵa lya kusingwa.
6 You led away and killed the Just One, and he did not resist you.
Mwalamwile ni kwaulaga ŵandu ŵambone paujo pa Akunnungu, ŵanganankanila ŵanyamwe.
7 Therefore, be patient, brothers, until the advent of the Lord. Consider that the farmer anticipates the precious fruit of the earth, waiting patiently, until he receives the early and the late rains.
Kwayele achalongo achinjangu, mpililileje mpaka pataiche Ambuje. Nlole jwakulima yakuti pakulindilila kwa kupililila aila yaipandile, isogosye magungulo gambone ni yakuti pakujilindilila ula jandanda ni jambesi.
8 Therefore, you too should be patient and should strengthen your hearts. For the advent of the Lord draws near.
Iyoyo peyo ni ŵanyamwe ŵakwe mpililile, nkole mitima jakulimba ligongo kwika kwa Ambuje kuŵandichile.
9 Brothers, do not complain against one another, so that you may not be judged. Behold, the judge stands before the door.
Achalongo achinjangu, nkanyinyitilana mwachinsyene pe ntakulamulikwa ni Akunnungu. Jwakulamula aŵandichile kwika.
10 My brothers, consider the Prophets, who spoke in the name of the Lord, as an example of departing from evil, of labor, and of patience.
Achalongo achinjangu, mwasakaga kulola chisyasyo cha kulindilila ni kupililila mmasausyo, mwakumbuchile ŵakulondola ŵaŵasalaga utenga wa kutyochela kwa Ambuje ni ŵanyamwe nsyasye chitagu chao.
11 Consider that we beatify those who have endured. You have heard of the patient suffering of Job. And you have seen the end of the Lord, that the Lord is merciful and compassionate.
Tukwaŵilanga ŵelewo akwete upile pakuŵa ŵapililile. Mpilikene ngani sya kupililila ku che Ayubu, ni nkwimanyilila Ambuje iŵantendele kumbesi. Pakuŵa Ambuje aguumbele chanasa ni umbone.
12 But before all things, my brothers, do not choose to swear, neither by heaven, nor by the earth, nor in any other oath. But let your word ‘Yes’ be yes, and your word ‘No’ be no, so that you may not fall under judgment.
Kupunda yeleyo yose achinjangu nkalumbila kwa kwinani atamuno kwa chilambo atamuno kwa chindu chachili chose. Njileje, “Elo” iŵaga nkusaka kuti elo ni “Ngwamba” iŵaga nkusaka kuti ngwamba, pelepo nganlamulikwa ni Akunnungu.
13 Is any of you sad? Let him pray. Is he even-tempered? Let him sing psalms.
Ana apali mundu jwalijose mu mpingo wenu jwakusauka? Apopeleje. Jwakusangalala ajimbe nyimbo sya kulapa.
14 Is anyone ill among you? Let him bring in the priests of the Church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord.
Ana apali mundu mu mpingo wenu jwakulwala? Ŵaŵilanje achakulu ilongola ŵa mpingo wa ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito ŵapopelele ni kwapakasya mauta mu liina lya Ambuje.
15 And a prayer of faith will save the infirm, and the Lord will alleviate him. And if he has sins, these will be forgiven him.
Ni akula kupopelela kwa chikulupi chikunnamisye jwakulwala jo, nombe Ambuje chanlamye. Naga ŵatesile sambi, chalecheleswe.
16 Therefore, confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another, so that you may be saved. For the unremitting prayer of a just person prevails over many things.
Nsalilane sambi syenu kwa jwine ni jwine ni kupopelelana kuti nlamiswe. Mapopelo gakwe mundu jwambone paujo pa Akunnungu gana machili gakupanganya gamajinji.
17 Elijah was a mortal man like us, and in prayer he prayed that it would not rain upon the earth. And it did not rain for three years and six months.
Che Elia ŵaliji mundu mpela uwe, ŵapopelele kwa kuchalila kuti jikanya ula ni nganijinya ula pachilambo yaka itatu ni miesi sita.
18 And he prayed again. And the heavens gave rain, and the earth brought forth her fruit.
Nipele ŵapopelele sooni ni ula janyele kutyochela kumaunde ni chilambo chasogwesye magungulo.
19 My brothers, if anyone of you strays from the truth, and if someone converts him,
Achalongo achinjangu, iŵaga mundu jwalijose mwa ŵanyamwe asochelaga ni kuuleka usyene, ni mundu jwine ammusyaga,
20 he ought to know that whoever causes a sinner to be converted from the error of his ways will save his soul from death and will cover a multitude of sins.
nipele mmanyilile kuti mundu jwalijose jwakummusya jwa sambi kutyochela nkusoya kwakwe, jwelejo chankulupusye mundu jo kutyochela mchiwa ni kwatenda Akunnungu ŵatyochesye sambi syao syejinji.
