James 5
1 Goe to nowe, ye rich men: weepe, and howle for your miseries that shall come vpon you.
age nunc divites plorate ululantes in miseriis quae advenient vobis
2 Your riches are corrupt, and your garments are moth eaten.
divitiae vestrae putrefactae sunt et vestimenta vestra a tineis comesta sunt
3 Your gold and siluer is cankred, and the rust of them shalbe a witnesse against you, and shall eate your flesh, as it were fire. Ye haue heaped vp treasure for the last dayes.
aurum et argentum vestrum eruginavit et erugo eorum in testimonium vobis erit et manducabit carnes vestras sicut ignis thesaurizastis in novissimis diebus
4 Behold, the hire of ye labourers, which haue reaped your fieldes (which is of you kept backe by fraude) cryeth, and the cryes of them which haue reaped, are entred into the eares of the Lord of hostes.
ecce merces operariorum qui messuerunt regiones vestras qui fraudatus est a vobis clamat et clamor ipsorum in aures Domini Sabaoth introiit
5 Ye haue liued in pleasure on the earth, and in wantonnes. Ye haue nourished your heartes, as in a day of slaughter.
epulati estis super terram et in luxuriis enutristis corda vestra in die occisionis
6 Ye haue condemned and haue killed the iust, and he hath not resisted you.
addixistis occidistis iustum non resistit vobis
7 Be patient therefore, brethren, vnto the comming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman wayteth for the precious fruite of the earth, and hath long patience for it, vntill he receiue the former, and the latter rayne.
patientes igitur estote fratres usque ad adventum Domini ecce agricola expectat pretiosum fructum terrae patienter ferens donec accipiat temporivum et serotinum
8 Be ye also patient therefore and settle your hearts: for ye comming of the Lord draweth neere.
patientes estote et vos confirmate corda vestra quoniam adventus Domini adpropinquavit
9 Grudge not one against another, brethren, least ye be condemned: behold, the iudge standeth before the doore.
nolite ingemescere fratres in alterutrum ut non iudicemini ecce iudex ante ianuam adsistit
10 Take, my brethren, the Prophets for an ensample of suffering aduersitie, and of long patience, which haue spoken in the Name of the Lord.
exemplum accipite fratres laboris et patientiae prophetas qui locuti sunt in nomine Domini
11 Beholde, we count them blessed which endure. Ye haue heard of the patience of Iob, and haue knowen what ende the Lord made. For the Lord is very pitifull and mercifull.
ecce beatificamus qui sustinuerunt sufferentiam Iob audistis et finem Domini vidistis quoniam misericors est Dominus et miserator
12 But before all thinges, my brethren, sweare not, neither by heauen, nor by earth, nor by any other othe: but let your yea, be yea, and your nay, nay, lest ye fall into condemnation.
ante omnia autem fratres mei nolite iurare neque per caelum neque per terram neque aliud quodcumque iuramentum sit autem vestrum est est non non uti non sub iudicio decidatis
13 Is any among you afflicted? Let him pray. Is any merie? Let him sing.
tristatur aliquis vestrum oret aequo animo est psallat
14 Is any sicke among you? Let him call for the Elders of the Church, and let them pray for him, and anoynt him with oyle in the Name of the Lord.
infirmatur quis in vobis inducat presbyteros ecclesiae et orent super eum unguentes eum oleo in nomine Domini
15 And the prayer of faith shall saue the sicke, and the Lord shall raise him vp: and if he haue committed sinnes, they shalbe forgiuen him.
et oratio fidei salvabit infirmum et adlevabit eum Dominus et si in peccatis sit dimittentur ei
16 Acknowledge your faultes one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed: for the prayer of a righteous man auaileth much, if it be feruent.
confitemini ergo alterutrum peccata vestra et orate pro invicem ut salvemini multum enim valet deprecatio iusti adsidua
17 Helias was a man subiect to like passions as we are, and he prayed earnestly that it might not rayne, and it rayned not on the earth for three yeeres and sixe moneths.
Helias homo erat similis nobis passibilis et oratione oravit ut non plueret super terram et non pluit annos tres et menses sex
18 And he prayed againe, and the heauen gaue rayne, and the earth brought forth her fruite.
et rursum oravit et caelum dedit pluviam et terra dedit fructum suum
19 Brethren, if any of you hath erred from the trueth, and some man hath conuerted him,
fratres mei si quis ex vobis erraverit a veritate et converterit quis eum
20 Let him know that he which hath conuerted the sinner from going astray out of his way, shall saue a soule from death, and shall hide a multitude of sinnes.
scire debet quoniam qui converti fecerit peccatorem ab errore viae suae salvabit animam eius a morte et operit multitudinem peccatorum
