James 5
1 O rich men, howl and weep for the miseries which are coming upon you.
Moala yinba a piada! Yin ya buudi mani a bubupaala kelima ya fala n baa baa yipo yaapo.
2 Your riches are corrupt and stink, and your vestments are eaten of the moth,
Yi piama bedi, ti lulugidi mo ŋmani yi tiayiekaadi.
3 and your gold and your silver rusteth, and the rust of them is for a witness against you, and is to eat your flesh. You have gathered fire for you for the last days!
I tantonmoani biidi yi wula leni yi ŋanjilifa. I tantonmoani yeni baa fii ki sedi yipo ki kuli yi, ki bolini yi gbannandi nani mi fantama yeni. Yi dogini dogini yi ŋalimani a juodidana na niinni.
4 Lo, the hire of the labourers who have reaped your lands, which you have refused, clamoureth, and the cry of the harvests to the ears of the Lord of Sabaoth hath ascended.
Diidi, ya tuonsoaba n den yendi i kuani ke yi janbi ba yeni, panpaani mua ki kuli yi. Yaaba n den yendi yi kpaandi ya moe mo doni ki pundi ŋali o Diedo U Paaciamu kuli daano tuba nni.
5 For you have lived daintily on the earth, and have been wanton, and have nourished your bodies, as for the day of slaughter.
Yi den ye ŋanduna nni leni mi yemanma ki go kuandi yi yama yi gbannandi bonbuakaala nni. Yi den di ki gbengidi nani a yanwubida ban wubi yaaba mi kodima daali po yeni.
6 You have condemned and have killed the just, and he hath not resisted you.
Yi cuo o niteginkoa ki jia leni ti buudi ki kpa o, waa yie yipo.
7 BUT you, my brethren, prolong your spirit until the coming of the Lord; as the husbandman who expecteth the precious fruits of his lands, and prolongeth his spirit for them, until he receive the rain the early and the latter;
Lanwani n kpiiba, yin ya pia li juunli ŋali o Diedo cuama. Diidi mani, o kpakpaalo yen gu ki tinga bonluonkaala, yaala n pia mayuli ŋali boncianla, ki juuni lipo ŋali wan baa baa ki takpiaga leni ki tajuodikaaga kuli.
8 so also you, prolong your spirit, and your hearts confirm; for the coming of our Lord draweth nigh.
Yi moko n juuni ki paagi yi pala, kelima o Diedo cuama nagini.
9 Groan not one against another, my brethren, that you be not judged; for, behold, the Judge standeth before the door.
N kpiiba, yin da yenbidi mani yi yaba po ke U Tienu n da bu ki cuo yi lipo. Diidi, o bujialo tuodi ki se bu buliñoabu kani.
10 The example of the prophets take to you, my brethren, to prolong your spirits in your afflictions, them who have spoken in the name of the Lord.
N kpiiba, yin teni mani bi sawalipuaba ya fala leni bi juunli n ya tie yipo bontogidikaala, bani yaaba n den maadi o Diedo yeli nni.
11 For, behold, we give blessedness to them who have endured. You have heard of the patience of Iob, and the end which the Lord wrought for him you have seen; because that merciful is the Lord and compassionate.
Diidi mani, ti tua ke li pamancianli ye leni yaaba n laa fala ki go juuni lienni. Yi gbadi Joba n den pia ya juunli leni o Diedo n den yuandi ki puni o yaala o juodima yogunu. Kelima o Diedo pia mi niŋigbadima ki go pia li ŋanbili boncianla.
12 But before every thing, my brethren, swear not; by heaven nor by earth, nor with any other oath; but let your word be Yes, yes, and No, no, that you be not bound under condemnation.
N kpiiba, yaala n pia mayuli tie line: yin da poli mani leni tanpoli, bi leni ki tinga, baa leni poliba kuli. Ama yi ya yedi: “Mm,” lan ya tie mm. Yi ya yedi: “A-a,” mo lan ya tie a-a, ke U Tienu n da ti jia leni yi ti buudi.
13 And if any of you be in affliction, let him pray; and if he rejoice, let him sing;
Naani yi siiga niloba ye leni fala bi? Wan jaandi. Naani niloba ye leni li pamanli bi? Wan yiini U Tienu yani ki pagi o.
14 and if he be sick, let him call for the presbyters of the church, and they will pray over him and anoint him with oil in the name of our Lord.
Naani yi siiga niloba yia bi? Wan yini Kilisiti n yini yaaba nikpeliba ban jaandi opo, ki wuli opo mi kpama o Diedo yeli nni.
15 And the prayer of faith shall make whole him who was sick, and our Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him.
Li dandanli ya jaandi baa paagi yua n yia yeni. O Diedo baa fiini o. Li ya tie ke o den tieni ti tuonbiadi, o baa baa sugili.
16 But confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that you may be healed. For great is the power of that prayer which the righteous prayeth.
Lanwani yin tuo mani yi tuonbiadi yi yaba nintuali, ki go ya jaandi yi yaba po ke yin paagi. O niteginkoa jaandimoani pia u paalu ŋali boncianla.
17 Elia also was a man of suffering, as we; and he prayed that the rain should not fall upon the earth, and it fell not (for) three years and six months.
Elia den tie nisaalo nani tinba yeni. O den jaandi jaandimoani ke ki taaga n da mi. Ki taaga naa den baa laa diema nni ŋali binataa leni boagidima.
18 And again he prayed, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth gave her fruits.
Lani n pendi o go den jaandi ke ki taaga den mini, ke ki tinga mo loni ki bonluonkaala.
19 my brethren, if any of you shall err from the way of truth, and one shall convert him from his error,
N kpiiba, yi siiga niyendo ya yaadi ki ŋa i moamoani, ke nitoa gobidi ki guani o lienni,
20 let him know, that he who turneth a sinner from the error of his way, saveth his soul from death, and hideth the multitude of his sins.
wan bandi ke yua n gobidi ki guani ti tuonbiadi daano wan den lebidi ki ŋa ya sanu nni, o faabi o wan da kua mi kuuma nni, ki piini ya tuonbiadi n yaba boncianla.
