James 5
1 Goe to nowe, ye rich men: weepe, and howle for your miseries that shall come vpon you.
Uyai ikozvino imwi vafumi, rirai muridze mhere nekuda kwematambudziko enyu anokuwirai.
2 Your riches are corrupt, and your garments are moth eaten.
Fuma yenyu yakaora, uye nguvo dzenyu dzakava dzakafusiwa.
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.
Goridhe renyu nesirivheri zvava nengura; uye urari hwazvo huchava chapupu kwamuri, uye huchadya nyama yenyu semoto. Makazvichengetera fuma pamazuva ekupedzisira.
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.
Tarira, mubairo wevaranda vakacheka minda yenyu, yakanyimwa nemwi nekunyengera, unodanidzira; nekuchema kwevacheki kwakasvika kunzeve dzaIshe wehondo.
5 Ye haue liued in pleasure on the earth, and in wantonnes. Ye haue nourished your heartes, as in a day of slaughter.
Makagara muumbozha panyika, uye makakarira zvinofadza; makakodza moyo yenyu sepazuva rekubaya.
6 Ye haue condemned and haue killed the iust, and he hath not resisted you.
Makapa mhosva, makauraya wakarurama; haakupikisii.
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.
Naizvozvo ivai nemoyo murefu, hama, kusvikira pakuuya kwaIshe. Tarira, murimi anomirira chibereko chinokosha chevhu, anochiitira moyo murefu, kusvikira chagamuchira mvura yekutanga neyekupedzisira.
8 Be ye also patient therefore and settle your hearts: for ye comming of the Lord draweth neere.
Imwiwo ivai nemoyo murefu; simbisai moyo yenyu, nokuti kuuya kwaIshe kwaswedera.
9 Grudge not one against another, brethren, least ye be condemned: behold, the iudge standeth before the doore.
Musanyunyutirana, hama, kuti murege kupiwa mhosva; tarira, mutongi amire pamukova.
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.
Torai vaporofita semuenzaniso wekutambudzika, hama dzangu, newemoyo murefu, vakataura nezita raIshe.
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.
Tarira, tinoti vakaropafadzwa vanotsungirira; makanzwa zvekutsungirira kwaJobho, uye makaona kuguma kwaIshe, kuti Ishe ane moyo munyoro kwazvo uye ane tsitsi.
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.
Asi pamberi pezvese, hama dzangu, musapika, kana nedenga, kana nenyika, kana nekumwe kupika kupi; asi hongu yenyu ngaive hongu, uye kwete, kwete; kuti murege kuwira mukutongwa.
13 Is any among you afflicted? Let him pray. Is any merie? Let him sing.
Kune umwe anotambudzika pakati penyu here? Ngaanyengetere. Pane anofara here? Ngaaimbe mapisarema.
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.
Pane anorwara pakati penyu here? Ngaadane vatariri vekereke; uye ngavanyengetere pamusoro pake, vachimuzodza namafuta muzita raIshe;
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.
uye munyengetero werutendo uchaponesa anorwara, uye Ishe achamumutsa; zvino kana akaita zvivi, achazvikanganwirwa.
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.
Reururiranai zvivi, uye nyengetereranai, kuti muporeswe. Munyengetero wakasimba wewakarurama une simba zvikuru.
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.
Eria wakange ari munhu wemanzwiro akafanana nesu, akanyengetera nemoyo wese kuti kusanaya; ikasanaya panyika makore matatu nemwedzi mitanhatu;
18 And he prayed againe, and the heauen gaue rayne, and the earth brought forth her fruite.
zvino wakanyengeterazve; denga ndokupa mvura, nyika ikabereka chibereko chayo.
19 Brethren, if any of you hath erred from the trueth, and some man hath conuerted him,
Hama, kana umwe pakati penyu achitsauka kubva pachokwadi, umwewo akamudzora,
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.
ngaazive kuti uyo anodzora mutadzi pakutsauka kwenzira yake, achaponesa mweya parufu nekufukidza zvivi zvizhinji.
