James 5
1 Come on, you rich people! You should weep and wail for all the problems that are coming your way!
Isin yaa sooreyyii, sababii dhiphinni isinitti dhufuuf jiruutiif booʼaa; wawwaadhaas.
2 Your wealth is ruined, and your clothes have been eaten by moths.
Qabeenyi keessan tortoreera; biliinis uffata keessan nyaateera.
3 Your gold and your silver are corroded, and this corrosion will be evidence against you, eating away your flesh like fire. You hoarded up your wealth in these last days.
Warqee fi meetiin keessan sameera. Dandaaʼuun isaaniis isinitti dhugaa baʼa; akkuma ibiddaattis foon keessan nyaata. Isin bara dhumaatiif qabeenya walitti qabattaniirtu.
4 Look, the wages of your farm workers that you cheated are crying out against you—the cries of the farm workers have reached the ears of the Lord Almighty.
Kunoo, mindaan isin warra midhaan keessan haaman dhowwattan sun ni iyya. Iyyi warra midhaan keessan walitti qabaniis gurra Gooftaa Waan Hunda Dandaʼu sanaa seeneera.
5 You've enjoyed a life of luxury here on earth, full of self-indulgent pleasure, fattening yourselves up for the day of slaughter!
Isin qananii fi gammachuun lafa irra jiraattaniirtu. Guyyaa qalmaatiifis of gabbiftaniirtu.
6 You have condemned and killed the innocent who didn't even resist you.
Nama qajeelaa isiniin hin morminetti murtanii ajjeeftu.
7 Friends, be patient as you wait for the Lord's return. Think of the farmer waiting patiently for the earth's precious harvest as it grows with the early and later rains.
Kanaafuu yaa obboloota, hamma dhufaatii Gooftaatti obsaa. Qonnaan bulaan tokko lafa irraa midhaan gaarii argachuuf hammam akka eeggatu, bokkaa duraatii fi kan dhumaa hamma argattuttis hammam akka obsu hubadhaa.
8 You need to be patient too. Stay strong for the Lord's return is near.
Isinis akkasuma obsaa; jabaadhaa dhaabadhaas; dhufaatiin Gooftaa dhiʼaateeraatii.
9 My friends, don't complain about each other, so you won't be judged. Look, the judge is standing right at the door!
Yaa obboloota, akka isinitti hin muramneef walitti hin guunguminaa. Kunoo, Abbaan Murtii balbala dura dhaabateera.
10 Take the prophets as an example, my friends—see how they spoke in the Lord's name as they suffered and waited patiently.
Yaa obboloota, raajota maqaa Gooftaatiin dubbachaa turan sana akka fakkeenya dhiphinaa fi obsaatti fudhadhaa.
11 Notice that we say that those who endure are blessed. You've heard about the patience of Job, and you've seen how the Lord brought this to a positive conclusion—for the Lord is full of compassion and mercy.
Kunoo, nu warra obsaan jabaattanii dhaabatan sanaan eebbifamoo jenna; Iyyoob obsuu isaa dhageessaniirtu; waan Gooftaan dhuma irratti isaaf godhes argitaniirtu. Gooftaan gara laafinaa fi araaraan kan guutamee dha.
12 Above all, my friends, don't swear. Not by heaven, not by earth, and not by any other kind of oath. Just let your yes be yes, and your no be no, so you won't fall under condemnation.
Hundumaa caalaa immoo yaa obboloota ko, hin kakatinaa; samiin yookaan lafaan yookaan waan biraa tokkoon illee hin kakatinaa. Wanni isin jechuu qabdan, “Eeyyee” yookaan “waawuu” haa taʼu. Yoo kanaa achii isinitti murama.
13 Are any of you suffering? You should pray. Are some of you cheerful? You should sing songs of praise.
Isin keessaa namni dhiphachaa jiru jiraa? Inni haa kadhatu. Namni gammadu jiraa? Inni faarfannaa galataa haa faarfatu.
14 Are any of you sick? You should call for the church elders and have them pray over you, and anoint you with oil in the Lord's name.
Isin keessaa namni dhukkubsatu jiraa? Inni jaarsolii waldaa kiristaanaa haa waamsifatu; isaanis maqaa Gooftaatiin zayitii isa dibanii haa kadhataniif.
15 Such a prayer, trusting in God, will heal those who are sick, and the Lord will make them well. If they've committed sins, they will be forgiven.
Kadhannaan amantiin godhamu nama dhukkubsatu ni fayyisa; Gooftaanis isa ni kaasa. Yoo inni cubbuu hojjetee jiraates ni dhiifamaaf.
16 Admit the wrongs you've done to each other, and pray for one another so that you'll be healed. Earnest prayer from those who live right is very effective.
Kanaafuu akka fayyitaniif cubbuu keessan walitti himadhaatii walii kadhadhaa. Kadhannaan nama qajeelaa humna qaba; waan guddaas ni hojjeta.
17 Elijah was a man who had the same human nature as we do. He prayed earnestly that it wouldn't rain, and it didn't rain on the earth for three and a half years.
Eeliyaas namuma akka keenyaa ture. Innis akka bokkaan hin roobneef jabeessee kadhate; bokkaanis waggaa sadii fi jiʼa jaʼa lafa irratti hin roobne.
18 He prayed again—heaven sent rain and the earth gave its harvest.
Ammas deebiʼee kadhate; samiin bokkaa kenne; laftis midhaan baafte.
19 My friends, if any one of you strays from the truth and someone brings you back,
Yaa obboloota ko, isin keessaa namni tokko yoo dhugaa irraa fagaate, namni biraa immoo yoo isa deebise,
20 let them know that whoever rescues a sinner from the error of their ways will save them from death, and will gain forgiveness for many sins.
inni nama cubbamaa karaa jalʼaa irraa deebisu lubbuu namicha sanaa akka duʼa jalaa baasu, cubbuu baayʼees akka dhoksu haa beeku.
