James 5
1 Go to now, you rich men, weep and howl for your miseries that shall come on you.
Ugbu a geenụ ntị unu ndị ọgaranya, oge eruola mgbe unu kwesiri ịkwa akwa na ịsụ ude nʼihi nsogbu na-akwado ịbịakwasị unu.
2 Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are moth-eaten.
Akụnụba unu ebidola ịta nchara, mkpu eripịakwala uwe unu.
3 Your gold and silver is corroded; and the rust of them shall be a witness against you, and shall eat your flesh as it were fire. You have heaped treasure together for the last days.
Ọlaọcha na ọlaedo unu agbaala nchara. Nchara a ga-abụkwa ama megide unu, ọ ga-erepịa anụ ahụ unu dịka ọkụ. Unu akpakọtala akụ nʼụbọchị ikpeazụ ndị a.
4 Behold, the hire of the laborers who have reaped down your fields, which is of you kept back by fraud, cries: and the cries of them which have reaped are entered into the ears of the Lord of sabaoth.
Geenụ ntị! Ụzụ akwa ndị ọrụ unu, ndị unu jụrụ ịkwụ ụgwọ ọrụ ha dị ka o kwesiri na-agbago imegide unu. Ụzụ akwa ndị ọrụ unu, ndị unu ghọgburu, eruola ntị Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile.
5 You have lived in pleasure on the earth, and been wanton; you have nourished your hearts, as in a day of slaughter.
Unu ebiela ndụ nke oke oriri na oke ọṅụṅụ nʼelu ụwa, na ndụ inye anụ ahụ unu ihe ọbụla na-akpa ya mkpa. Ma ugbu a, anụ ahụ unu ahụ gbara abụba ejikerela na-eche ụbọchị mgburi ya.
6 You have condemned and killed the just; and he does not resist you.
Unu amala ndị aka ha dị ọcha ikpe, gbukwaa ha, ọ bụladị mgbe ha na-egbochighị unu.
7 Be patient therefore, brothers, to the coming of the Lord. Behold, the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth, and has long patience for it, until he receive the early and latter rain.
Nweenụ ntachiobi, ụmụnna m, cherenụ ọbịbịa Onyenwe anyị. Lee otu onye ọrụ ubi si eji ndidi na-eche mkpụrụ ọ kụrụ nʼala ubi ka ọ mịa. O ji ndidi na-eche ka mmiri ozuzo nke mbụ na nke ikpeazụ zokwasị ubi ya.
8 Be you also patient; establish your hearts: for the coming of the Lord draws near.
Unu onwe unu kwesikwara inwe ndidi guzosiekwa ike nʼihi na ọbịbịa Onyenwe anyị dị nso.
9 Grudge not one against another, brothers, lest you be condemned: behold, the judge stands before the door.
Ụmụnna m, unu atamula ntamu megide ibe unu, ka a hapụ ikpe unu ikpe! Lee, onye ikpe ahụ guzo nʼọnụ ụzọ.
10 Take, my brothers, the prophets, who have spoken in the name of the Lord, for an example of suffering affliction, and of patience.
Ụmụnna m, dị ka ihe ilere anya banyere inwe ndidi na ahụhụ, mụtanụ ihe site nʼaka ndị amụma bụ ndị kwuru okwu nʼaha Onyenwe anyị.
11 Behold, we count them happy which endure. You have heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the end of the Lord; that the Lord is very pitiful, and of tender mercy.
Anyị na-agụ ha ugbu a dịka ndị a gọziri agọzi nʼihi iguzosike ha. Unu anụla maka ogologo ntachiobi nke Job nwere, unu ahụkwala nzube Onyenwe anyị nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị jupụtara nʼebere na ọmịiko.
12 But above all things, my brothers, swear not, neither by heaven, neither by the earth, neither by any other oath: but let your yes be yes; and your no, no; lest you fall into condemnation.
Karịsịa ụmụnna m, unu aṅụla iyi. Unu aṅụkwala iyi mgbe ọbụla, ọ bụladị iji eluigwe maọbụ ụwa, maọbụ ihe ọbụla ọzọ ṅụọ iyi. Kama ka “E” unu bụrụ “E.” Ka “E e,” unu bụrụkwa “E e.” Ka unu hapụ isite nʼụzọ dị otu a mehie ma wetakwara onwe unu ikpe ọmụma.
13 Is any among you afflicted? let him pray. Is any merry? let him sing psalms.
Ọ dị onye ọbụla nʼetiti unu nọ na nsogbu? Ka onye dị otu ahụ kpee ekpere. Ọ dị onye na-aṅụrị ọṅụ? Ya bụọ abụ otuto.
14 Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord:
Ọ dị onye nọ nʼetiti unu ahụ na-esighị ike? Ya kpọọ ndị okenye chọọchị ka ha kpeere ya ekpere, ka ha wụkwasịkwa ya mmanụ otite nʼisi kpọkuokwa aha Onyenwe anyị.
15 And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him.
Ekpere nke okwukwe ga-azọpụta onye ọrịa ahụ. Onyenwe anyị ga-ekulite ya, ọ bụrụkwa na o mehiere, a ga-agbaghara ya.
16 Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that you may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.
Ya mere kwupụtaranụ ibe unu mmehie unu. Kpeekwaranụ ibe unu ekpere ka e nwe ike gwọọ unu. Ekpere onye ezi omume dị ike dịkwa ire.
17 Elias was a man subject to like passions as we are, and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain: and it rained not on the earth by the space of three years and six months.
Ịlaịja bụ mmadụ dị ka anyị, ma o kpere ekpere rịọ ka mmiri hapụ izo, mmiri ezokwaghị nʼala ahụ ruo afọ atọ na ọnwa isii.
18 And he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth brought forth her fruit.
Emesịa, o kpekwara ekpere ọzọ, eluigwe nyere mmiri ozuzo, meekwa ka ala pupụta ihe oriri.
19 Brothers, if any of you do err from the truth, and one convert him;
Ụmụnna m, ọ bụrụ na onye ọbụla nʼetiti unu esite nʼeziokwu ahụ jehie, ma otu onye nʼime unu akpọghachi ya azụ,
20 Let him know, that he which converts the sinner from the error of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall hide a multitude of sins.
chetanụ nke a na onye ọbụla kpọghachitere onye mmehie azụ site na njehie ya, ga-azọpụta ha nʼaka ọnwụ ma kpuchiekwa ọtụtụ mmehie.
