< James 5 >

1 Go to now, ye rich, weep, howling over your miseries that [are] coming upon [you].
Mhidayi henu, muenga jha mujhele matajiri, mulelayi kwa sauti jha panani kwandabha jha tabu jhajhihida panani pa muenga.
2 Your wealth is become rotten, and your garments moth-eaten.
Bhutajiri bhwa muenga bhuharibibhu ni maguanda gha muenga ghadakulibhu ni manu maharibifu.
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.
Dhahabu sya muenga ni hela sya muenga sidulili thamani, ni bhuharibifu bhuake bhwibeta kushuhudila dhidi jha muenga ni kujhangamisya mibhele gha muenga kama muoto. Mukibhekili hazina jha muenga mu magono gha kumwishu.
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.
Mutangayi, malepu gha bhabhomba mbombo bhala ambabho mubhalepili lepi kwa kubena mu migonda ghinu - bhilela, nni kilelu kya bhala, bhabhebenili nia zao gha muenga kighafikili mb'olokhoto sya Bwana ghwa majeshi.
5 Ye have lived luxuriously on the earth and indulged yourselves; ye have nourished your hearts [as] in a day of slaughter;
Mutamili kwa anasa pa duniani ni kwifurahisya muenga mwebhene. Mukinenepisi mioyo ghya muenga ku magono gha machinju.
6 ye have condemned, ye have killed the just; he does not resist you.
Nin'hukumuili ni kunkoma jhaahe ni haki jhaibhwesya lepi kubhap'enga.
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.
Henu, musinda makayi bhalongo, mpaka ujio bhwa Bwana, kama mkulima ilendela mavuno gha thamani ni kuhoma mu nchi ilendelela kwa bhuvumilivu kwandabha jha muene, mpaka fula sya kuanza ni sela sya kumwishu sikatonyayi.
8 Ye also have patience: stablish your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is drawn nigh.
Kabhele muenga mujhelayi bhavumilivu. Mukasiajhi mioyo ghoya muenga, kwandabha kuhida kwa muene Bwana akaribili.
9 Complain not one against another, brethren, that ye be not judged. Behold, the judge stands before the door.
Ndongo, musikilombosi jhomu kwa jhomu, kusudi musihidi mukahukumulibhwa. Langayi hakimu ijhema pandiangu.
10 Take [as] an example, brethren, of suffering and having patience, the prophets, who have spoken in the name of [the] Lord.
kwa mfano, ndongo mulangayi malombosi ni bhuvumilivu bhwa manabii bhabhanenili mu lihina lya Bwana.
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.
Langayi tukabhakuta bhalabhabhisindamala, “heri” Mp'eliki bhuvumilivu bhwa Ayubu na mulimanyili kusudi lya Bwana kwandabha jha Ayubu, ni kwa jinsi jhalakhu Bwana amemili huruma ni rehema.
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.
Zaidi jha ghoha, bhalongo bhangu, musolapi, aidha kwa mbingu ama kwa nchi au kwa kiapu kya aina jhenge. Bali hebu “Ena” jha jhomu na jhimaanisiajhi “ena” ni “lepi” jha muenga na jhimaanisiaghi “lepi” ili kwamba musihudi kubinila pasi pa hukumu.
13 Does any one among you suffer evil? let him pray. Is any happy? let him sing psalms.
Ajhe jhejhioha miongoni mwa muenga ajhe ni malombosi? Lazima as'okayi. Je, munu jhe jhioha ndo n'kolo kuchonjela? Na jhjobhelayi sifa.
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;
Je, ajhe jhe jhejhioha miongoni mwa muenga jha ajhe n'tamu? Na abhakutayi bhaseya bha kanisa bhas'okayi panani pa muene bhampakili mafuta mu lihina lya Bwana.
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 maombi gha imani ghibetakumponesya n'tamu ni Bwana ibetakunjinula na kama ibetakujhha abhombili dhambi, K'yara ibetakusn'samehe.
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.
Henu mubhungamayi dhambi sya jhomu kwa jhomu, ni kus'omelana khila mmonga ni njinu, ili mubhwesiajhi kuponesibhwa. Maombi gha mwenye haki ghihogola matoleo mabhaha.
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;
Eliya ajhele munu mwenye hisia kama sya tete, as'omili kwa juhudi kujha fula jhisiotonyi na jhatonyili lepi pa nchi kwa muda ghwa miaka midatu ni miesi sita.
18 and again he prayed, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth caused its fruit to spring forth.
Ni Eliya as'okili kabhele, ni mbingu syajhitisi fula panani pa nchi ni nhi jhapisili mavuno.
19 My brethren, if any one among you err from the truth, and one bring him back,
Bhalongo bhangu, kama jhejhioha mugati mwa jhomu pa ihoma kuhoma mubhukweli, lakini munu jhongi an'keebhuisi.
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.
Hebu na umanyayi kujha jhehioha jhaikandongosya mwenye dhambi kubhoka mu ibetakuponyesya nafsi jha bhukonyofu ibetakuponyesya nafsi jha muene kuhoma mu mauti na ibetakugupika bhwingi bhwa dhambi.
