James 5
1 Go to now, ye rich, weep, howling over your miseries that [are] coming upon [you].
Sambano mpilikane ŵanyamwe ŵaipanje! Nlile ni kulila kwa malumbo kwa ligongo lya kulaga kwakukunnyichilila.
2 Your wealth is become rotten, and your garments moth-eaten.
Ipanje yenu iwosile ni minjilo jenu jililikwe ni chimbulukuku.
3 Your gold and silver is eaten away, and their canker shall be for a witness against you, and shall eat your flesh as fire. Ye have heaped up treasure in [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 Behold, the wages of your labourers, who have harvested your fields, wrongfully kept back by you, cry, and the cries of those that have reaped are entered into the ears of [the] Lord of sabaoth.
Nganimwalipa aŵala ŵaŵapangenye masengo mmigunda mwenu. Mpilikanile yakuti kulalatila, kulila kwa ŵandu ŵakugowola mmigunda jenu kuiche mmapikanilo ga Ambuje ŵaali ni ukombole.
5 Ye have lived luxuriously on the earth and indulged yourselves; ye have nourished your hearts [as] in a day of slaughter;
Ntemi mchilambo kwa utame wakulisengwasya kwannope. Nlijimbesye mwachinsyene mpela ng'ombe jajili chile kwa lyuŵa lya kusingwa.
6 ye have condemned, ye have killed the just; he does not resist you.
Mwalamwile ni kwaulaga ŵandu ŵambone paujo pa Akunnungu, ŵanganankanila ŵanyamwe.
7 Have patience, therefore, brethren, till the coming of the Lord. Behold, the labourer awaits the precious fruit of the earth, having patience for it until it receive [the] early and [the] latter rain.
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 Ye also have patience: stablish your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is drawn nigh.
Iyoyo peyo ni ŵanyamwe ŵakwe mpililile, nkole mitima jakulimba ligongo kwika kwa Ambuje kuŵandichile.
9 Complain not one against another, brethren, that ye be not judged. Behold, the judge stands before the door.
Achalongo achinjangu, nkanyinyitilana mwachinsyene pe ntakulamulikwa ni Akunnungu. Jwakulamula aŵandichile kwika.
10 Take [as] an example, brethren, of suffering and having patience, the prophets, who have spoken in the name of [the] Lord.
Achalongo achinjangu, mwasakaga kulola chisyasyo cha kulindilila ni kupililila mmasausyo, mwakumbuchile ŵakulondola ŵaŵasalaga utenga wa kutyochela kwa Ambuje ni ŵanyamwe nsyasye chitagu chao.
11 Behold, we call them blessed who have endured. Ye have heard of the endurance of Job, and seen the end of the Lord; that the Lord is full of tender compassion and pitiful.
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 brethren, swear not, neither by heaven, nor by the earth, nor by any other oath; but let your yea be yea, and your nay, nay, that ye do 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 Does any one among you suffer evil? let him pray. Is any happy? let him sing psalms.
Ana apali mundu jwalijose mu mpingo wenu jwakusauka? Apopeleje. Jwakusangalala ajimbe nyimbo sya kulapa.
14 Is any sick among you? let him call to [him] the elders of the assembly, 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 the prayer of faith shall heal the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he be one who has committed sins, it shall be forgiven him.
Ni akula kupopelela kwa chikulupi chikunnamisye jwakulwala jo, nombe Ambuje chanlamye. Naga ŵatesile sambi, chalecheleswe.
16 Confess therefore your offences to one another, and pray for one another, that ye may be healed. [The] fervent supplication of the righteous [man] has much power.
Nsalilane sambi syenu kwa jwine ni jwine ni kupopelelana kuti nlamiswe. Mapopelo gakwe mundu jwambone paujo pa Akunnungu gana machili gakupanganya gamajinji.
17 Elias was a man of like passions to us, and he prayed with prayer that it should not rain; and it did not rain upon the earth 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 again he prayed, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth caused its fruit to spring forth.
Nipele ŵapopelele sooni ni ula janyele kutyochela kumaunde ni chilambo chasogwesye magungulo.
19 My brethren, if any one among you err from the truth, and one bring him back,
Achalongo achinjangu, iŵaga mundu jwalijose mwa ŵanyamwe asochelaga ni kuuleka usyene, ni mundu jwine ammusyaga,
20 let him know that he that brings back a sinner from [the] error of his way shall save a soul from death and shall 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.
