James 5
1 COME now, ye rich men, let your tears run down, howling over your miseries which are coming upon you.
| ܐܘ ܥܬܝܪܐ ܐܝܠܠܘ ܘܒܟܘ ܥܠ ܕܘܘܢܐ ܕܐܬܝܢ ܥܠܝܟܘܢ |
2 Your wealth is corrupted, and your robes are moth-eaten.
| ܥܘܬܪܟܘܢ ܓܝܪ ܐܬܚܒܠ ܘܤܪܝ ܘܡܐܢܝܟܘܢ ܐܬܐܟܠܘ ܡܢ ܤܤܐ |
3 Your gold and silver is cankered with rust; and the rust upon them is a testimony against you, and shall eat into your flesh as fire. Ye have heaped up treasures in the last days.
| ܘܕܗܒܟܘܢ ܘܤܐܡܟܘܢ ܐܫܚܬ ܠܗ ܘܫܘܚܬܗܘܢ ܗܘܝܐ ܠܤܗܕܘܬܐ ܥܠܝܟܘܢ ܘܗܝ ܥܬܝܕܐ ܕܬܐܟܘܠ ܒܤܪܟܘܢ ܢܘܪܐ ܟܢܫܬܘܢ ܠܟܘܢ ܠܝܘܡܬܐ ܐܚܪܝܐ |
4 Behold, the wages of the workmen who have mowed down your fields, which is kept back by you from them, crieth out: and the loud moans of the reapers are entered into the ears of the Lord of Sabaoth.
| ܗܐ ܐܓܪܐ ܕܦܥܠܐ ܕܚܨܕܘ ܐܪܥܬܟܘܢ ܗܘ ܕܛܠܡܬܘܢ ܩܥܐ ܘܓܥܬܐ ܕܚܨܘܕܐ ܠܐܕܢܘܗܝ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܨܒܐܘܬ ܥܠܬ |
5 Ye have gormandized upon the earth, and lived in every luxury: ye have pampered your hearts, as in a day of feasting on the victim slain.
| ܒܤܡܬܘܢ ܓܝܪ ܥܠ ܐܪܥܐ ܘܐܬܠܥܒܬܘܢ ܘܬܪܤܝܬܘܢ ܦܓܪܝܟܘܢ ܐܝܟ ܕܠܝܘܡܐ ܕܢܟܤܬܐ |
6 Ye have falsely condemned, ye have murdered the just man; nor doth he resist you.
| ܚܝܒܬܘܢ ܘܩܛܠܬܘܢ ܠܙܕܝܩܐ ܘܠܐ ܩܡ ܠܘܩܒܠܟܘܢ |
7 Be patient therefore, brethren, until the coming of the Lord. See, the husbandman waits for the precious fruit of the earth, in patient expectation for it, till it receives the former and the latter rain.
| ܐܢܬܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܐܚܝ ܐܓܪܘ ܪܘܚܟܘܢ ܥܕܡܐ ܠܡܐܬܝܬܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܐܝܟ ܐܟܪܐ ܕܡܤܟܐ ܠܦܐܪܐ ܝܩܝܪܐ ܕܐܪܥܗ ܘܡܓܪ ܪܘܚܗ ܥܠܝܗܘܢ ܥܕܡܐ ܕܢܤܒ ܡܛܪܐ ܒܟܝܪܝܐ ܘܠܩܝܫܝܐ |
8 Be ye also patient; stablish your hearts; for the coming of the Lord is at hand.
| ܗܟܢܐ ܐܦ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܐܓܪܘ ܪܘܚܟܘܢ ܘܠܒܘܬܟܘܢ ܫܪܪܘ ܩܪܒܬ ܠܗ ܓܝܪ ܡܐܬܝܬܗ ܕܡܪܢ |
9 Grudge not one against another, brethren, lest be ye condemned: lo! the judge standeth at the gates.
| ܠܐ ܬܬܢܚܘܢ ܚܕ ܥܠ ܚܕ ܐܚܝ ܕܠܐ ܬܬܕܝܢܘܢ ܗܐ ܓܝܪ ܕܝܢܐ ܩܕܡ ܬܪܥܐ ܩܐܡ |
10 My brethren, take a pattern for suffering affliction, and patience from the prophets, who have spoken to you in the name of the Lord.
| ܕܡܘܬܐ ܠܢܒܝܐ ܤܒܘ ܠܟܘܢ ܐܚܝ ܠܡܓܪܬ ܪܘܚܐ ܕܐܘܠܨܢܝܟܘܢ ܗܢܘܢ ܕܡܠܠܘ ܒܫܡܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ |
11 Behold, we esteem those blessed who patiently endure. Ye have heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the end of the Lord; for the Lord is full of bowels of mercy, and tenderly compassionate.
| ܗܐ ܓܝܪ ܝܗܒܝܢܢ ܛܘܒܐ ܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܤܝܒܪܘ ܫܡܥܬܘܢ ܡܤܝܒܪܢܘܬܗ ܕܐܝܘܒ ܘܚܪܬܐ ܕܥܒܕ ܠܗ ܡܪܝܐ ܚܙܝܬܘܢ ܡܛܠ ܕܡܪܚܡܢ ܗܘ ܡܪܝܐ ܘܡܪܚܦܢ |
12 But above all things, my brethren, swear not, neither by heaven, nor by earth, nor by any other oath: but let your yea be yea, and your no, no; that ye fall not under condemnation.
| ܩܕܡ ܟܠ ܡܕܡ ܕܝܢ ܐܚܝ ܠܐ ܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܝܡܝܢ ܠܐ ܒܫܡܝܐ ܘܠܐ ܒܐܪܥܐ ܐܦܠܐ ܒܡܘܡܬܐ ܐܚܪܬܐ ܐܠܐ ܬܗܘܐ ܡܠܬܟܘܢ ܐܝܢ ܐܝܢ ܘܠܐ ܠܐ ܕܠܐ ܬܬܚܝܒܘܢ ܬܚܝܬ ܕܝܢܐ |
13 Is any man among you under afflictions? let him pray. Is any man happy in mind? let him sing psalms.
| ܘܐܢ ܐܢܫ ܡܢܟܘܢ ܢܗܘܐ ܒܐܘܠܨܢܐ ܢܗܘܐ ܡܨܠܐ ܘܐܢ ܚܕܐ ܢܗܘܐ ܡܙܡܪ |
14 Is any man sick among you? let him send for the presbyters of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord:
| ܘܐܢ ܟܪܝܗ ܢܩܪܐ ܠܩܫܝܫܐ ܕܥܕܬܐ ܘܢܨܠܘܢ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܘܢܡܫܚܘܢܗ ܡܫܚܐ ܒܫܡܗ ܕܡܪܢ |
15 and the prayer of faith shall recover the sick man, and the Lord will raise him up; and if he hath committed sins, they shall be forgiven him.
| ܘܨܠܘܬܐ ܕܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܡܚܠܡܐ ܠܗ ܠܗܘ ܕܟܪܝܗ ܘܡܩܝܡ ܠܗ ܡܪܢ ܘܐܢ ܚܛܗܐ ܥܒܝܕܝܢ ܠܗ ܡܫܬܒܩܝܢ ܠܗ |
16 Confess your offences one to another, and pray for one another, that ye may be healed. The energetic prayer of a righteous man is mightily prevalent.
| ܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܡܘܕܝܢ ܤܟܠܘܬܟܘܢ ܚܕ ܠܚܕ ܘܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܡܨܠܝܢ ܚܕ ܥܠ ܚܕ ܕܬܬܐܤܘܢ ܪܒ ܗܘ ܓܝܪ ܚܝܠܗ ܕܨܠܘܬܐ ܐܝܕܐ ܕܙܕܝܩܐ ܡܨܠܐ ܠܗ |
17 Elias was a man of like feelings with us, and he prayed fervently that it should not rain; and there fell no rain on the earth during three years and six months.
| ܐܦ ܐܠܝܐ ܒܪܢܫܐ ܗܘܐ ܚܫܘܫܐ ܐܟܘܬܢ ܘܨܠܝ ܕܠܐ ܢܚܘܬ ܡܛܪܐ ܥܠ ܐܪܥܐ ܘܠܐ ܢܚܬ ܬܠܬ ܫܢܝܢ ܘܫܬܐ ܝܪܚܝܢ |
18 And he prayed again, and the heavens gave rain, and the earth shot up its fruit.
| ܘܬܘܒ ܨܠܝ ܘܫܡܝܐ ܝܗܒܘ ܡܛܪܐ ܘܐܪܥܐ ܝܗܒܬ ܦܐܪܝܗ |
19 Brethren, if any man among you should have erred from the truth, and one convert him;
| ܐܚܝ ܐܢ ܐܢܫ ܡܢܟܘܢ ܢܛܥܐ ܡܢ ܐܘܪܚܐ ܕܩܘܫܬܐ ܘܢܦܢܝܘܗܝ ܐܢܫ ܡܢ ܛܥܝܘܬܗ |
20 let him know, that he that converteth a sinner from the error of his way will save a soul from death, and will cover a multitude of sins.
| ܢܕܥ ܕܗܘ ܕܡܗܦܟ ܠܚܛܝܐ ܡܢ ܛܥܝܘܬܐ ܕܐܘܪܚܗ ܡܚܐ ܢܦܫܗ ܡܢ ܡܘܬܐ ܘܥܛܐ ܤܘܓܐܐ ܕܚܛܗܘܗܝ |
