James 5
1 do come now you who [are] rich, do weep wailing over the miseries upon you that [are] coming.
嗐！你們這些富足人哪，應當哭泣、號咷，因為將有苦難臨到你們身上。
2 The riches of You have rotted and the garments of you moth-eaten have become;
你們的財物壞了，衣服也被蟲子咬了。
3 The gold of you and the silver have corroded and the rust of them for a testimony against you will be and it will eat the flesh of you like fire; You have treasured up in [the] last days.
你們的金銀都長了銹；那銹要證明你們的不是，又要吃你們的肉，如同火燒。你們在這末世只知積攢錢財。
4 Behold the wage of the workmen who having harvested the fields of you which (kept back *NK(o)*) by you cries out and the cries of those having harvested into the ears of [the] Lord of Hosts have entered.
工人給你們收割莊稼，你們虧欠他們的工錢，這工錢有聲音呼叫，並且那收割之人的冤聲已經入了萬軍之主的耳了。
5 You lived in luxury upon the earth and lived in self-indulgence, You have fattened the hearts of you (as *K*) in [the] day of slaughter.
你們在世上享美福，好宴樂，當宰殺的日子竟嬌養你們的心。
6 You have condemned [and] have put to death the righteous; not does he resist you.
你們定了義人的罪，把他殺害，他也不抵擋你們。
7 do be patient therefore, brothers, until the coming of the Lord. Behold the farmer awaits the precious fruit of the earth being patient for (it *NK(o)*) until (when *k*) it may receive (rain *k*) [the] early and latter [rains];
弟兄們哪，你們要忍耐，直到主來。看哪，農夫忍耐等候地裏寶貴的出產，直到得了秋雨春雨。
8 do be patient also you yourselves, do strengthen the hearts of you, because the coming of the Lord has drawn near.
你們也當忍耐，堅固你們的心，因為主來的日子近了。
9 Not do grumble brothers against one another so that not (you may be judged; *N(K)O*) Behold the Judge before the doors has been stood.
弟兄們，你們不要彼此埋怨，免得受審判。看哪，審判的主站在門前了。
10 [As] an example do take brothers (of mine *K*) of suffering evils and of patience the prophets who spoke (in *no*) the name of [the] Lord.
弟兄們，你們要把那先前奉主名說話的眾先知當作能受苦能忍耐的榜樣。
11 Behold we count blessed those (having persevered; *N(k)O*) The perseverance of Job you have heard of and the outcome from [the] Lord (you have seen, *NK(o)*) that full of compassion is the Lord and [is] merciful.
那先前忍耐的人，我們稱他們是有福的。你們聽見過約伯的忍耐，也知道主給他的結局，明顯主是滿心憐憫，大有慈悲。
12 Before all things however, brothers of mine, not do swear, neither [swear by] heaven nor [swear by] the earth nor [swear by] other any oath; should be however of you the Yes [be] yes and the No [be] no, so that not (under *N(k)O*) (judgment *NK(O)*) you may fall.
我的弟兄們，最要緊的是不可起誓；不可指着天起誓，也不可指着地起誓，無論何誓都不可起。你們說話，是，就說是；不是，就說不是，免得你們落在審判之下。
13 Is suffering hardships anyone among you? he should pray; Is cheerful anyone? he should sing praises.
你們中間有受苦的呢，他就該禱告；有喜樂的呢，他就該歌頌。
14 Is sick anyone among you? he should call near the elders of the church and they should pray over him having anointed him with oil in the name of the Lord.
你們中間有病了的呢，他就該請教會的長老來；他們可以奉主的名用油抹他，為他禱告。
15 And the prayer of faith will save the [one] ailing and will raise up him the Lord; and if and if sins he shall be [one] having committed, it will be forgiven to him.
出於信心的祈禱要救那病人，主必叫他起來；他若犯了罪，也必蒙赦免。
16 do confess (therefore *NO*) to one another (the sins *N(k)O*) and (do pray *NK(o)*) for one another, so that you may be healed; Much prevails [the] prayer of a righteous [man] being made effective.
所以你們要彼此認罪，互相代求，使你們可以得醫治。義人祈禱所發的力量是大有功效的。
17 Elijah a man was of like nature to us and with fervent prayer he prayed [for it] not to rain; and not it did rain upon the earth years three and months six;
以利亞與我們是一樣性情的人，他懇切禱告，求不要下雨，雨就三年零六個月不下在地上。
18 And again he prayed and the heaven rain gave and the earth produced the fruit of it.
他又禱告，天就降下雨來，地也生出土產。
19 Brothers (of Mine, *NO*) if anyone among you shall wander from the truth and shall bring back someone him,
我的弟兄們，你們中間若有失迷真道的，有人使他回轉，
20 (he should know *NK(O)*) that the [one] having brought back a sinner from [the] error of the way of him will save [the] soul (of him *no*) from death and will cover over a multitude of sins.
這人該知道：叫一個罪人從迷路上轉回便是救一個靈魂不死，並且遮蓋許多的罪。
