James 5
1 GO to now, ye rich men, weep and howl for your miseries that shall come upon you.
Uyai ikozvino imwi vafumi, rirai muridze mhere nekuda kwematambudziko enyu anokuwirai.
2 Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are motheaten.
Fuma yenyu yakaora, uye nguvo dzenyu dzakava dzakafusiwa.
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.
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 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.
Tarira, mubairo wevaranda vakacheka minda yenyu, yakanyimwa nemwi nekunyengera, unodanidzira; nekuchema kwevacheki kwakasvika kunzeve dzaIshe wehondo.
5 Ye have lived in pleasure on the earth, and been wanton; ye have nourished your hearts, as in a day of slaughter.
Makagara muumbozha panyika, uye makakarira zvinofadza; makakodza moyo yenyu sepazuva rekubaya.
6 Ye have condemned and killed the just; and he doth not resist you.
Makapa mhosva, makauraya wakarurama; haakupikisii.
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.
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; stablish your hearts: for the coming of the Lord draweth nigh.
Imwiwo ivai nemoyo murefu; simbisai moyo yenyu, nokuti kuuya kwaIshe kwaswedera.
9 Grudge not one against another, brethren, lest ye be condemned: behold, the judge standeth before the door.
Musanyunyutirana, hama, kuti murege kupiwa mhosva; tarira, mutongi amire pamukova.
10 Take, my brethren, the prophets, who have spoken in the name of the Lord, for an example of suffering affliction, and of patience.
Torai vaporofita semuenzaniso wekutambudzika, hama dzangu, newemoyo murefu, vakataura nezita raIshe.
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.
Tarira, tinoti vakaropafadzwa vanotsungirira; makanzwa zvekutsungirira kwaJobho, uye makaona kuguma kwaIshe, kuti Ishe ane moyo munyoro kwazvo uye ane tsitsi.
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.
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 merry? let him sing psalms.
Kune umwe anotambudzika pakati penyu here? Ngaanyengetere. Pane anofara here? Ngaaimbe mapisarema.
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:
Pane anorwara pakati penyu here? Ngaadane vatariri vekereke; uye ngavanyengetere pamusoro pake, vachimuzodza namafuta muzita raIshe;
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.
uye munyengetero werutendo uchaponesa anorwara, uye Ishe achamumutsa; zvino kana akaita zvivi, achazvikanganwirwa.
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.
Reururiranai zvivi, uye nyengetereranai, kuti muporeswe. Munyengetero wakasimba wewakarurama une simba zvikuru.
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.
Eria wakange ari munhu wemanzwiro akafanana nesu, akanyengetera nemoyo wese kuti kusanaya; ikasanaya panyika makore matatu nemwedzi mitanhatu;
18 And he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth brought forth her fruit.
zvino wakanyengeterazve; denga ndokupa mvura, nyika ikabereka chibereko chayo.
19 Brethren, if any of you do err from the truth, and one convert him;
Hama, kana umwe pakati penyu achitsauka kubva pachokwadi, umwewo akamudzora,
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.
ngaazive kuti uyo anodzora mutadzi pakutsauka kwenzira yake, achaponesa mweya parufu nekufukidza zvivi zvizhinji.
