Jacob 5
1 Come now, you rich, weep and cry aloud for your miseries that are coming on 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 your silver are corroded, and their corrosion will be for a testimony against you, and will eat your flesh like fire. You have laid up your 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 Look, the wages of the laborers who mowed your fields, which you have kept back by fraud, cry out, and the cries 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 have lived delicately on the earth, and taken your pleasure. You have nourished your hearts in a day of slaughter.
Buyumi bwenu pano pacishi capanshi bwesula ne byakulya byaina. Mulansuku pabusuba bwakumushina.
6 You have condemned, you have murdered the righteous one. He does not resist you.
Mulombolosho ne kushina muntu walulama, neye liya kukanapo sobwe.
7 Be patient therefore, brothers, until the coming of the Lord. Look, the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth, being patient over it, until it receives the early and late 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 You also be patient. Establish your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is near.
Neco nenjamwe pembelelani kayi yumishani myoyo, pakwinga Mwami ulipepi kwisa.
9 Do not grumble, brothers, against one another, so that you won't be judged. Look, the judge stands at the door.
Kamutatongaukanga pakati penu, kutineti Lesa ngaumombolosha. Bonani shikombolosha wemana kendi pacishinga.
10 Take, brothers, for an example of suffering and of patience, 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 Look, we call them blessed who endured. You have heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the Lord in the outcome, and how the Lord is full of compassion and 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 brothers, do not swear, neither by heaven, nor by the earth, nor by any other oath; but let your "yes" be "yes," and your "no," "no;" so that you do 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 Is anyone among you suffering? He should pray. Is anyone cheerful? He should sing praises.
Sena pali muntu uli mumapensho? Kapailani. Sena pali wakondwa? Aimbile nyimbo sha kulumbanya Lesa.
14 Is anyone among you sick? He should call for the elders of the congregation, and they should 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 will save the one who is sick, and the Lord will raise him up. If he has committed sins, he will be forgiven.
Mupailo walushomo lulico nukamupulushe mulwashi, Mwami nakamubweshele ngofu, kayi bwipishi mbwalensa nibukalekelelwe.
16 Therefore confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerfully effective.
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 human being with a nature like ours, and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain, and it did not rain on the land for 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 He prayed again, and the sky gave rain, and the earth brought forth its fruit.
Nomba kayi mpwalapaila imfula yalaloka ne kumenesha mbuto.
19 My brothers, if any among you wanders from the truth, and someone turns him back,
Mobansebame, na umbi utaika nekushiya cancinencine, munendi amubweshe,
20 let him know that he who turns a sinner from the error of his way will save his 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.
