James 5
1 GO to now, ye rich men, weep and howl for your miseries that shall come upon you.
Bonang, lona bahumi, jaanong ke nako ya go lela le go bokolela ka bohutsana jo bogolo ka ntlha ya go bona matshwenyego otlhe a a boitshegang a a kwa pele ga lona.
2 Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are motheaten.
Gonne khumo ya lona e setse jaanong e bola, le diaparo tsa lona tse dintle di fetoga makgasa a a jelweng ke motoutwane.
3 Your gold and silver is cankered; and the rust of them shall be a witness against you, and shall eat your flesh as it were fire. Ye have heaped treasure together for the last days.
Tlhwatlhwa ya gouta le selefera ya lona e wela kwa tlase ka bofefo, go ntse jalo e tlaa nna e le bosupi jo bo lo tlhabantshang, e bo e e ja nama ya lona jaaka molelo. Ke sone se lo se ipeetseng go se amogela mo letsatsing leo la tshekiso.
4 Behold, the hire of the labourers who have reaped down your fields, which is of you kept back by fraud, crieth: and the cries of them which have reaped are entered into the ears of the Lord of sabaoth.
Mme reetsang! Reetsang selelo sa badiri ba ba dirang mo masimong a lona ba lo ba tsieditseng ka tuelo ya bone. Selelo sa bone se tsenye mo ditsebeng tsa Morena wa Masomosomo.
5 Ye have lived in pleasure on the earth, and been wanton; ye have nourished your hearts, as in a day of slaughter.
Lo dirisitse dingwaga tsa lona mo lefatsheng lo le mo letlepung, lo itumedisa dikeletso tsotlhe tsa dipelo tsa lona, mme jaanong dipelo tsa lona tse di nonneng di siametse polao.
6 Ye have condemned and killed the just; and he doth not resist you.
Lo atlhotshe ebile lo bolaile batho ba ba molemo ba ba neng ba sena nonofo go itshireletsa mo go lona.
7 Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience for it, until he receive the early and latter rain.
Ke lona bagaetsho, bakaulengwe ba ba rategang, ba lo letetseng go bowa ga Morena, nnang pelotelele, jaaka molemi yo o letelang go fitlhelela letlhabula fa thobo ya gagwe ya botlhokwa e butswa.
8 Be ye also patient; stablish your hearts: for the coming of the Lord draweth nigh.
Ee nnang, pelotelele. Lo bo lo kgothale, gonne go tla ga Morena go gaufi.
9 Grudge not one against another, brethren, lest ye be condemned: behold, the judge standeth before the door.
Lo se ka lwa ngongoregela bakaulengwe. A lona ka bolona lo setse lo fetile go nyadiwa? Gonne bonang! Moatlhodi yo mogolo o e tla. O setse a le gaufi mo leseng e nne ene yo o tshwayang diphoso tsotlhe tse di tshwanetseng go supiwa.
10 Take, my brethren, the prophets, who have spoken in the name of the Lord, for an example of suffering affliction, and of patience.
Mo dikaing tsa bopelotelele mo dipogisegong, tsayang malebela mo baporofiting ba Morena.
11 Behold, we count them happy which endure. Ye 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.
Re itse ka fa ba itumelang ka teng jaanong gonne ba ne ba le boammaruri mo go ene ka nako eo, le fa ba ne ba go bogela thata. Jobe ke sesupo sa motho yo o neng a tsweletse a ikanya Morena mo matshwenyegong; mo maitemogelong a gagwe re bona ka fa leano la Modimo le neng la felela ka bomolemo ka teng, gonne Morena o tletse bopelotlhomogi le kutlwelo-botlhoko.
12 But above all things, my brethren, swear not, neither by heaven, neither by the earth, neither by any other oath: but let your yea be yea; and your nay, nay; lest ye fall into condemnation.
Mme mo godimo ga dilo tsotlhe, bakaulengwe ba ba rategang, se ikaneng ka legodimo kgotsa ka lefatshe kgotsa le fa e le ka eng; lo re “ee” kgotsa “nnyaa” fela, gore lo seka lwa leofa lwa tloga lwa welwa ke phutso ya Modimo.
13 Is any among you afflicted? let him pray. Is any merry? let him sing psalms.
A mongwe mo go lona o tlhokofetse? A a nne a tswelele a rapele ka gone. Mme ba ba nang le lobaka lwa go leboga ba tshwanetse go tswelela ba opelela Morena dipako.
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:
A mongwe o a lwala? O tshwanetse go bitsa bagolwane ba phuthego mme ba mo rapelele ba bo ba mo tshele lookwane ba kope Morena go mo fodisa.
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.
Mme thapelo ya bone, fa e dirwa ka tumelo, e tlaa mo fodisa, gonne o tlaa mo kakatlolola mme fa e le gore bolwetse jwa gagwe bo ne bo dirwa ke sebe sengwe, Morena o tlaa mo itshwarela.
16 Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.
Ipolelaneng ditlolo mme lo rapelelane gore lo tle lo fodisiwe. Thapelo ya mosiami e e tlhomameng e na le nonofo e kgolo le maungo a mantle.
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.
Elija e ne e le motho fela jaaka rona, mme le fa go ntse jalo e ne ya re a rapela ka tlhoafalo gore pula e seka ya na ya se ka ya na mo dingwageng tse tharo le dikgwedi tse thataro tse di latelang!
18 And he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth brought forth her fruit.
Mme a rapela gape, gore jaanong e ne, mme ya simolola go na mme bojang jwa nna botala le masingwana a simolola go ungwa gape.
19 Brethren, if any of you do err from the truth, and one convert him;
Bagaetsho, ha mongwe mo go lona a timeletswe ke boammaruri, mme mongwe a mo sokolola;
20 Let him know, that he which converteth the sinner from the error of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall hide a multitude of sins.
a a itse ha yo o sokololang moleofi mo timelong ya tsela ya gagwe, a tlaa golola mowa mo losong, mme a ba a bipa bontsi jwa dibe.
