< James 5 >
1 Come on, you rich people! You should weep and wail for all the problems that are coming your way!
ཧེ དྷནཝནྟཿ, ཡཱུཡམ྄ ཨིདཱནཱིཾ ཤྲྀཎུཏ ཡུཥྨཱབྷིརཱགམིཥྱཏྐླེཤཧེཏོཿ ཀྲནྡྱཏཱཾ ཝིལཔྱཏཱཉྩ།
2 Your wealth is ruined, and your clothes have been eaten by moths.
ཡུཥྨཱཀཾ དྲཝིཎཾ ཛཱིརྞཾ ཀཱིཊབྷུཀྟཱཿ སུཙེལཀཱཿ།
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.
ཀནཀཾ རཛཏཉྩཱཔི ཝིཀྲྀཏིཾ པྲགམིཥྱཏི, ཏཏྐལངྐཤྩ ཡུཥྨཱཀཾ པཱཔཾ པྲམཱཎཡིཥྱཏི, ཧུཏཱཤཝཙྩ ཡུཥྨཱཀཾ པིཤིཏཾ ཁཱདཡིཥྱཏི། ཨིཏྠམ྄ ཨནྟིམགྷསྲེཥུ ཡུཥྨཱབྷིཿ སཉྩིཏཾ དྷནཾ།
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.
པཤྱཏ ཡཻཿ ཀྲྀཥཱིཝལཻ ཪྻུཥྨཱཀཾ ཤསྱཱནི ཚིནྣཱནི ཏེབྷྱོ ཡུཥྨཱབྷི ཪྻད྄ ཝེཏནཾ ཚིནྣཾ ཏད྄ ཨུཙྩཻ རྡྷྭནིཾ ཀརོཏི ཏེཥཱཾ ཤསྱཙྪེདཀཱནཱམ྄ ཨཱརྟྟརཱཝཿ སེནཱཔཏེཿ པརམེཤྭརསྱ ཀརྞཀུཧརཾ པྲཝིཥྚཿ།
5 You've enjoyed a life of luxury here on earth, full of self-indulgent pleasure, fattening yourselves up for the day of slaughter!
ཡཱུཡཾ པྲྀཐིཝྱཱཾ སུཁབྷོགཾ ཀཱམུཀཏཱཉྩཱརིཏཝནྟཿ, མཧཱབྷོཛསྱ དིན ཨིཝ ནིཛཱནྟཿཀརཎཱནི པརིཏརྤིཏཝནྟཤྩ།
6 You have condemned and killed the innocent who didn't even resist you.
ཨཔརཉྩ ཡུཥྨཱབྷི རྡྷཱརྨྨིཀསྱ དཎྜཱཛྙཱ ཧཏྱཱ ཙཱཀཱརི ཏཐཱཔི ས ཡུཥྨཱན྄ ན པྲཏིརུདྡྷཝཱན྄།
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.
ཧེ བྷྲཱཏརཿ, ཡཱུཡཾ པྲབྷོརཱགམནཾ ཡཱཝད྄ དྷཻཪྻྱམཱལམྦདྷྭཾ། པཤྱཏ ཀྲྀཥིཝལོ བྷཱུམེ རྦཧུམཱུལྱཾ ཕལཾ པྲཏཱིཀྵམཱཎོ ཡཱཝཏ྄ པྲཐམམ྄ ཨནྟིམཉྩ ཝྲྀཥྚིཛལཾ ན པྲཱཔྣོཏི ཏཱཝད྄ དྷཻཪྻྱམ྄ ཨཱལམྦཏེ།
8 You need to be patient too. Stay strong for the Lord's return is near.
ཡཱུཡམཔི དྷཻཪྻྱམཱལམྦྱ སྭཱནྟཿཀརཎཱནི སྠིརཱིཀུརུཏ, ཡཏཿ པྲབྷོརུཔསྠིཏིཿ སམཱིཔཝརྟྟིནྱབྷཝཏ྄།
9 My friends, don't complain about each other, so you won't be judged. Look, the judge is standing right at the door!
ཧེ བྷྲཱཏརཿ, ཡཱུཡཾ ཡད྄ དཎྜྱཱ ན བྷཝེཏ ཏདརྠཾ པརསྤརཾ ན གླཱཡཏ, པཤྱཏ ཝིཙཱརཡིཏཱ དྭཱརསམཱིཔེ ཏིཥྛཏི།
10 Take the prophets as an example, my friends—see how they spoke in the Lord's name as they suffered and waited patiently.
ཧེ མམ བྷྲཱཏརཿ, ཡེ བྷཝིཥྱདྭཱདིནཿ པྲབྷོ རྣཱམྣཱ བྷཱཥིཏཝནྟསྟཱན྄ ཡཱུཡཾ དུཿཁསཧནསྱ དྷཻཪྻྱསྱ ཙ དྲྀཥྚཱནྟཱན྄ ཛཱནཱིཏ།
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.
པཤྱཏ དྷཻཪྻྱཤཱིལཱ ཨསྨཱབྷི རྡྷནྱཱ ཨུཙྱནྟེ། ཨཱཡཱུབོ དྷཻཪྻྱཾ ཡུཥྨཱབྷིརཤྲཱཝི པྲབྷོཿ པརིཎཱམཤྩཱདརྴི ཡཏཿ པྲབྷུ རྦཧུཀྲྀཔཿ སཀརུཎཤྩཱསྟི།
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.
ཧེ བྷྲཱཏརཿ ཝིཤེཥཏ ཨིདཾ ཝདཱམི སྭརྒསྱ ཝཱ པྲྀཐིཝྱཱ ཝཱནྱཝསྟུནོ ནཱམ གྲྀཧཱིཏྭཱ ཡུཥྨཱབྷིཿ ཀོ྅པི ཤཔཐོ ན ཀྲིཡཏཱཾ, ཀིནྟུ ཡཐཱ དཎྜྱཱ ན བྷཝཏ ཏདརྠཾ ཡུཥྨཱཀཾ ཏཐཻཝ ཏནྣཧི ཙེཏིཝཱཀྱཾ ཡཐེཥྚཾ བྷཝཏུ།
13 Are any of you suffering? You should pray. Are some of you cheerful? You should sing songs of praise.
ཡུཥྨཱཀཾ ཀཤྩིད྄ དུཿཁཱི བྷཝཏི? ས པྲཱརྠནཱཾ ཀརོཏུ། ཀཤྩིད྄ ཝཱནནྡིཏོ བྷཝཏི? ས གཱིཏཾ གཱཡཏུ།
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.
ཡུཥྨཱཀཾ ཀཤྩིཏ྄ པཱིཌིཏོ ྅སྟི? ས སམིཏེཿ པྲཱཙཱིནཱན྄ ཨཱཧྭཱཏུ ཏེ ཙ པབྷོ རྣཱམྣཱ ཏཾ ཏཻལེནཱབྷིཥིཙྱ ཏསྱ ཀྲྀཏེ པྲཱརྠནཱཾ ཀུཪྻྭནྟུ།
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.
ཏསྨཱད྄ ཝིཤྭཱསཛཱཏཔྲཱརྠནཡཱ ས རོགཱི རཀྵཱཾ ཡཱསྱཏི པྲབྷུཤྩ ཏམ྄ ཨུཏྠཱཔཡིཥྱཏི ཡདི ཙ ཀྲྀཏཔཱཔོ བྷཝེཏ྄ ཏརྷི ས ཏཾ ཀྵམིཥྱཏེ།
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.
ཡཱུཡཾ པརསྤརམ྄ ཨཔརཱདྷཱན྄ ཨངྒཱིཀུརུདྷྭམ྄ ཨཱརོགྱཔྲཱཔྟྱརྠཉྩཻཀཛནོ ྅ནྱསྱ ཀྲྀཏེ པྲཱརྠནཱཾ ཀརོཏུ དྷཱརྨྨིཀསྱ སཡཏྣཱ པྲཱརྠནཱ བཧུཤཀྟིཝིཤིཥྚཱ བྷཝཏི།
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.
ཡ ཨེལིཡོ ཝཡམིཝ སུཁདུཿཁབྷོགཱི མརྟྟྱ ཨཱསཱིཏ྄ ས པྲཱརྠནཡཱནཱཝྲྀཥྚིཾ ཡཱཙིཏཝཱན྄ ཏེན དེཤེ སཱརྡྡྷཝཏྶརཏྲཡཾ ཡཱཝད྄ ཝྲྀཥྚི རྣ བབྷཱུཝ།
18 He prayed again—heaven sent rain and the earth gave its harvest.
པཤྩཱཏ྄ ཏེན པུནཿ པྲཱརྠནཱཡཱཾ ཀྲྀཏཱཡཱམ྄ ཨཱཀཱཤསྟོཡཱནྱཝརྵཱིཏ྄ པྲྀཐིཝཱི ཙ སྭཕལཱནི པྲཱརོཧཡཏ྄།
19 My friends, if any one of you strays from the truth and someone brings you back,
ཧེ བྷྲཱཏརཿ, ཡུཥྨཱཀཾ ཀསྨིཾཤྩིཏ྄ སཏྱམཏཱད྄ བྷྲཥྚེ ཡདི ཀཤྩིཏ྄ ཏཾ པརཱཝརྟྟཡཏི
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.
ཏརྷི ཡོ ཛནཿ པཱཔིནཾ ཝིཔཐབྷྲམཎཱཏ྄ པརཱཝརྟྟཡཏི ས ཏསྱཱཏྨཱནཾ མྲྀཏྱུཏ ཨུདྡྷརིཥྱཏི བཧུཔཱཔཱནྱཱཝརིཥྱཏི ཙེཏི ཛཱནཱཏུ།
