James 5
1 Go to now, all of you rich men, weep and wail for your miseries that shall come upon you.
Lino amwe babile, kamunyumfwani. Lilani ne kompolola cebo ca mapensho alesanga palinjamwe.
2 Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are moth-eaten.
Buboni bwenu bulabolo, muswa ulali byakufwala byenu.
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. All of you have heaped treasure together for the last days.
Mali enu alaba ne ndala kayi yopeleyo ndala eshikabe kamboni, nikalye mibili yenu eti mulilo. Mulabunganya mali angi mumasuba ano akumapwililisho.
4 Behold, the hire of the labourers 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.
Muliya kubafolesha basebenshi basebensanga mumabala enu sobwe. Nyumfwani kutongauka kwabo! Kulila kwabo beshikubunganya bishango byenu kulashiki ku matwi a Lesa Mwami wangofu shonse.
5 All of you have lived in pleasure on the earth, and been wanton; all of you have nourished your hearts, as in a day of slaughter.
Buyumi bwenu pano pacishi capanshi bwesula ne byakulya byaina. Mulansuku pabusuba bwakumushina.
6 All of you have condemned and killed the just; and he does not resist you.
Mulombolosho ne kushina muntu walulama, neye liya kukanapo sobwe.
7 Be patient therefore, brethren, unto 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.
Lino mobansebame, pembelelani mpaka Mwami akese. Bonani ncakute kwinsa mulimi, ukute kupembelela kuloka kwa mfula yanshimalupya ne mfula yalondansoke kwambeti byalimwa bikome cena mulibala.
8 Be all of you also patient; establish your hearts: for the coming of the Lord draws nigh.
Neco nenjamwe pembelelani kayi yumishani myoyo, pakwinga Mwami ulipepi kwisa.
9 Grudge not one against another, brethren, lest all of you be condemned: behold, the judge stands before the door.
Kamutatongaukanga pakati penu, kutineti Lesa ngaumombolosha. Bonani shikombolosha wemana kendi pacishinga.
10 Take, my brethren, the prophets, who have spoken in the name of the Lord, for an example of suffering affliction, and of patience.
Mobansebame, anukani cilesho ca bashinshimi balikwamba mulina lya Mwami. Balacana mapensho, nsombi baliya kubwelela kunyuma.
11 Behold, we count them happy which endure. All of 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.
Bantu mbotukute kwambeti bakute colwe nibantu balikuba balimbikila. Mwalanyumfwa sha Yobu ncalalimbikila, kayi mucishi Lesa ncalamwinshila pamapwililisho pakwinga Lesa niwankumbo kayi waina moyo.
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 all of you fall into condemnation.
Nomba kupita byonse, kamutalumbilanga mwalayananga, kamutalumbilangeti, kwilu nambi cishi capanshi, nambi cintu ciliconse. Amwe mwasuminishanga kamwambangoweti, “Ee” Mwakananga kamwambangoweti, “Sobwe” Kutineti Lesa ngaumucana nemulandu wakumombolosha.
13 Is any among you afflicted? let him pray. Is any merry? let him sing psalms.
Sena pali muntu uli mumapensho? Kapailani. Sena pali wakondwa? Aimbile nyimbo sha kulumbanya Lesa.
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:
Sena pali muntu lakolwanga? Kakuwani bamakulene bamubungano, bese bamupailileko nekumunanika mafuta mu lina lya Mwami.
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.
Mupailo walushomo lulico nukamupulushe mulwashi, Mwami nakamubweshele ngofu, kayi bwipishi mbwalensa nibukalekelelwe.
16 Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that all of you may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.
Neco kamuyubululananga bwipishi ne kupaililana kwambeti mubenga ne buyumi bwaina. Pakwinga mupailo wa muntu walulama ukute ngofu, kayi nkaukute kuba wabulyo sobwe.
17 Elijah 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.
Eliya walikuba muntu ulyeti afwe, mpwalapaileti mfula kaitaloka, cakubinga mfula iliya kuloka kwa byaka bitatu ne myenshi isanu ne umo.
18 And he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth brought forth her fruit.
Nomba kayi mpwalapaila imfula yalaloka ne kumenesha mbuto.
19 Brethren, if any of you do go astray from the truth, and one convert him;
Mobansebame, na umbi utaika nekushiya cancinencine, munendi amubweshe,
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.
ishibani kwambeti uliyense labweshe mwipishi kuleka nshila yaipa, lapulushu buyumi bwa muntuyo ku lufu, kayi bwipishi bwingi nibukalekelelwe.
