James 5
1 Go to now, ye rich, weep and howl for your miseries that are coming upon you.
Ẹ wá nísinsin yìí, ẹ̀yin ọlọ́rọ̀, ẹ máa sọkún kí ẹ sì máa pohùnréré ẹkún nítorí òsì tí ó ń bọ̀ wá ta yín.
2 Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are moth-eaten.
Ọrọ̀ yín díbàjẹ́, kòkòrò sì ti jẹ aṣọ yín.
3 Your gold and your silver are rusted; and their rust shall be for a testimony against you, and shall eat your flesh as fire. Ye have laid up your treasure in the last days.
Wúrà òun fàdákà yín díbàjẹ́; ìbàjẹ́ wọn ni yóò sì ṣe ẹlẹ́rìí sí yín, tí yóò sì jẹ ẹran-ara yín bí iná. Ẹ̀yin tí kó ìṣúra jọ de ọjọ́ ìkẹyìn.
4 Behold, the hire of the labourers who mowed your fields, which is of you kept back by fraud, crieth out: and the cries of them that reaped have entered into the ears of the Lord of Sabaoth.
Kíyèsi i, ọ̀yà àwọn alágbàṣe tí wọ́n ti ṣe ìkórè oko yín, èyí tí ẹ kò san, ń ké rara; àti igbe àwọn tí ó ṣe ìkórè sì ti wọ inú etí Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun.
5 Ye have lived delicately on the earth, and taken your pleasure; ye have nourished your hearts in a day of slaughter.
Ẹ̀yin ti jẹ adùn ní ayé, ẹ̀yin sì ti fi ara yín fún ayé jíjẹ; ẹ̀yin ti mú ara yín sanra de ọjọ́ pípa.
6 Ye have condemned, ye have killed the righteous [one]; he doth not resist you.
Ẹ̀yin ti dá ẹ̀bi fún olódodo, ẹ sì ti pa á; ẹni tí kò kọ ojú ìjà sí yín.
7 Be patient therefore, brethren, until the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, being patient over it, until it receive the early and latter rain.
Nítorí náà ará, ẹ mú sùúrù títí di ìpadà wá Olúwa. Kíyèsi i, àgbẹ̀ a máa retí èso iyebíye ti ilẹ̀, a sì mú sùúrù dè é, títí di ìgbà àkọ́rọ̀ àti àrọ̀kúrò òjò.
8 Be ye also patient; stablish your hearts: for the coming of the Lord is at hand.
Ẹ̀yin pẹ̀lú, ẹ mú sùúrù; ẹ fi ọkàn yín balẹ̀, nítorí ìpadà wá Olúwa kù sí dẹ̀dẹ̀.
9 Murmur not, brethren, one against another, that ye be not judged: behold, the judge standeth before the doors.
Ẹ má ṣe kùn sí ọmọnìkejì yín, ará, kí a má ba à dá a yín lẹ́bi: kíyèsi i, onídàájọ́ dúró ní ẹnu ìlẹ̀kùn.
10 Take, brethren, for an example of suffering and of patience, the prophets who spake in the name of the Lord.
Ará mi, ẹ fi àwọn wòlíì tí ó ti ń sọ̀rọ̀ ní orúkọ Olúwa ṣe àpẹẹrẹ ìyà jíjẹ, àti sùúrù.
11 Behold, we call them blessed which endured: ye have heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the end of the Lord, how that the Lord is full of pity, and merciful.
Sá à wò ó, àwa a máa ka àwọn tí ó fi ara dà ìyà sí ẹni ìbùkún. Ẹ̀yin ti gbọ́ ti sùúrù Jobu, ẹ̀yin sì rí ìgbẹ̀yìn tí Olúwa ṣe; pé Olúwa kún fún ìyọ́nú, ó sì ní àánú.
12 But above all things, my brethren, swear not, neither by the heaven, nor by the earth, nor by any other oath: but let your yea be yea, and your nay, nay; that ye fall not under judgment.
Ṣùgbọ́n ju ohun gbogbo lọ, ará mi, ẹ má ṣe ìbúra, ìbá à ṣe fífi ọ̀run búra, tàbí ilẹ̀, tàbí ìbúra-kíbúra mìíràn. Ṣùgbọ́n jẹ́ kí “Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni” yín jẹ́ bẹ́ẹ̀ ni; àti “Bẹ́ẹ̀ kọ́” yín jẹ́ bẹ́ẹ̀ kọ́; kí ẹ má ba à bọ́ sínú ẹ̀bi.
13 Is any among you suffering? let him pray. Is any cheerful? let him sing praise.
Inú ẹnikẹ́ni ha bàjẹ́ nínú yín bí? Jẹ́ kí ó gbàdúrà. Inú ẹnikẹ́ni ha dùn? Jẹ́ kí ó kọrin mímọ́.
14 Is any among you sick? 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:
Ẹnikẹ́ni ha ṣe àìsàn nínú yín bí? Kí ó pe àwọn àgbà ìjọ, kí wọ́n sì gbàdúrà sórí rẹ̀, kí wọn fi òróró kùn ún ní orúkọ Olúwa.
15 and the prayer of faith shall save him that is sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, it shall be forgiven him.
Àdúrà ìgbàgbọ́ yóò sì gba aláìsàn náà là, Olúwa yóò sì gbé e dìde; bí ó bá sì ṣe pé ó ti dẹ́ṣẹ̀, a ó dáríjì í.
16 Confess therefore your sins one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The supplication of a righteous man availeth much in its working.
Ẹ jẹ́wọ́ ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ yín fún ara yín, kí ẹ sì máa gbàdúrà fún ara yín, kí a lè mú yín láradá. Iṣẹ́ tí àdúrà olódodo ń ṣe ní agbára púpọ̀.
17 Elijah was a man of like passions with us, and he prayed fervently that it might not rain; and it rained not on the earth for three years and six months.
Ènìyàn bí àwa ni Elijah, ó gbàdúrà gidigidi pé kí òjò kí ó má ṣe rọ̀, òjò kò sì rọ̀ sórí ilẹ̀ fún ọdún mẹ́ta òun oṣù mẹ́fà.
18 And he prayed again; and the heaven gave rain, and the earth brought forth her fruit.
Ó sì tún gbàdúrà, ọ̀run sì tún rọ̀jò, ilẹ̀ sì so èso rẹ̀ jáde.
19 My brethren, if any among you do err from the truth, and one convert him;
Ará, bí ẹnikẹ́ni nínú yín bá ṣìnà kúrò nínú òtítọ́, tí ẹni kan sì yí i padà;
20 let him know, that he which converteth a sinner from the error of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall cover a multitude of sins.
jẹ́ kí ó mọ̀ pé, ẹni tí ó bá yí ẹlẹ́ṣẹ̀ kan padà kúrò nínú ìṣìnà rẹ̀, yóò gba ọkàn kan là kúrò lọ́wọ́ ikú, yóò sì bo ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ mọ́lẹ̀.
