James 5
1 Go, now, you rich! Weep, howling over your miseries that are coming on [you];
Lino amwe babile, kamunyumfwani. Lilani ne kompolola cebo ca mapensho alesanga palinjamwe.
2 your riches have rotted, and your garments have become moth-eaten;
Buboni bwenu bulabolo, muswa ulali byakufwala byenu.
3 your gold and silver have rotted, and the rust of them will be to you for a testimony, and will eat your flesh as fire. You have stored up treasure in 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 reward of the workmen cries out, of those who in-gathered your fields, which has been fraudulently kept back by you, and the exclamations of those who reaped have entered into the ears of the LORD of Hosts;
Muliya kubafolesha basebenshi basebensanga mumabala enu sobwe. Nyumfwani kutongauka kwabo! Kulila kwabo beshikubunganya bishango byenu kulashiki ku matwi a Lesa Mwami wangofu shonse.
5 you lived in luxury on the earth, and were wanton; you nourished your hearts, as in a day of slaughter;
Buyumi bwenu pano pacishi capanshi bwesula ne byakulya byaina. Mulansuku pabusuba bwakumushina.
6 you condemned—you murdered the righteous; he does not resist you.
Mulombolosho ne kushina muntu walulama, neye liya kukanapo sobwe.
7 Be patient, then, brothers, until the coming of the LORD; behold, the farmer expects the precious fruit of the earth, being patient for it, until he may receive rain—early and latter;
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 you also be patient; establish your hearts, because the coming of the LORD has drawn near;
Neco nenjamwe pembelelani kayi yumishani myoyo, pakwinga Mwami ulipepi kwisa.
9 do not murmur against one another, brothers, that you may not be condemned; behold, the Judge has stood before the door.
Kamutatongaukanga pakati penu, kutineti Lesa ngaumombolosha. Bonani shikombolosha wemana kendi pacishinga.
10 Brothers, [as] an example of the suffering of evil and of patience, take the prophets who spoke in the Name of the LORD;
Mobansebame, anukani cilesho ca bashinshimi balikwamba mulina lya Mwami. Balacana mapensho, nsombi baliya kubwelela kunyuma.
11 behold, we call those who are enduring blessed; you heard of the endurance of Job, and you have seen the end from the LORD, that the LORD is very compassionate, and pitying.
Bantu mbotukute kwambeti bakute colwe nibantu balikuba balimbikila. Mwalanyumfwa sha Yobu ncalalimbikila, kayi mucishi Lesa ncalamwinshila pamapwililisho pakwinga Lesa niwankumbo kayi waina moyo.
12 And before all things, my brothers, do not swear, neither by Heaven, neither by the earth, neither by any other oath, but let your “Yes” be yes, and the “No,” no, that you may not fall under judgment.
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 Does anyone suffer evil among you? Let him pray; is anyone of good cheer? Let him sing psalms;
Sena pali muntu uli mumapensho? Kapailani. Sena pali wakondwa? Aimbile nyimbo sha kulumbanya Lesa.
14 is anyone sick among you? Let him call for the elders of the assembly, and let them pray over him, having anointed 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 will save the distressed one, and the LORD will raise him up, and if he may have committed sins, they will be forgiven to him.
Mupailo walushomo lulico nukamupulushe mulwashi, Mwami nakamubweshele ngofu, kayi bwipishi mbwalensa nibukalekelelwe.
16 Be confessing to one another the trespasses, and be praying for one another, that you may be healed; very strong is a working supplication of a righteous man;
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 similar-feeling man as us, and with prayer he prayed—not to rain, and it did not rain on the land 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 again he prayed, and the sky gave rain, and the land brought forth her fruit.
Nomba kayi mpwalapaila imfula yalaloka ne kumenesha mbuto.
19 Brothers, if anyone among you may go astray from the truth, and anyone may turn him back,
Mobansebame, na umbi utaika nekushiya cancinencine, munendi amubweshe,
20 let him know that he who turned back a sinner from the straying of his way will save a soul from death, and will cover a multitude of sins.
ishibani kwambeti uliyense labweshe mwipishi kuleka nshila yaipa, lapulushu buyumi bwa muntuyo ku lufu, kayi bwipishi bwingi nibukalekelelwe.
