James 5
1 O rich men, howl and weep for the miseries which are coming upon you.
Isin yaa sooreyyii, sababii dhiphinni isinitti dhufuuf jiruutiif booʼaa; wawwaadhaas.
2 Your riches are corrupt and stink, and your vestments are eaten of the moth,
Qabeenyi keessan tortoreera; biliinis uffata keessan nyaateera.
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!
Warqee fi meetiin keessan sameera. Dandaaʼuun isaaniis isinitti dhugaa baʼa; akkuma ibiddaattis foon keessan nyaata. Isin bara dhumaatiif qabeenya walitti qabattaniirtu.
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.
Kunoo, mindaan isin warra midhaan keessan haaman dhowwattan sun ni iyya. Iyyi warra midhaan keessan walitti qabaniis gurra Gooftaa Waan Hunda Dandaʼu sanaa seeneera.
5 For you have lived daintily on the earth, and have been wanton, and have nourished your bodies, as for the day of slaughter.
Isin qananii fi gammachuun lafa irra jiraattaniirtu. Guyyaa qalmaatiifis of gabbiftaniirtu.
6 You have condemned and have killed the just, and he hath not resisted you.
Nama qajeelaa isiniin hin morminetti murtanii ajjeeftu.
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;
Kanaafuu yaa obboloota, hamma dhufaatii Gooftaatti obsaa. Qonnaan bulaan tokko lafa irraa midhaan gaarii argachuuf hammam akka eeggatu, bokkaa duraatii fi kan dhumaa hamma argattuttis hammam akka obsu hubadhaa.
8 so also you, prolong your spirit, and your hearts confirm; for the coming of our Lord draweth nigh.
Isinis akkasuma obsaa; jabaadhaa dhaabadhaas; dhufaatiin Gooftaa dhiʼaateeraatii.
9 Groan not one against another, my brethren, that you be not judged; for, behold, the Judge standeth before the door.
Yaa obboloota, akka isinitti hin muramneef walitti hin guunguminaa. Kunoo, Abbaan Murtii balbala dura dhaabateera.
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.
Yaa obboloota, raajota maqaa Gooftaatiin dubbachaa turan sana akka fakkeenya dhiphinaa fi obsaatti fudhadhaa.
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.
Kunoo, nu warra obsaan jabaattanii dhaabatan sanaan eebbifamoo jenna; Iyyoob obsuu isaa dhageessaniirtu; waan Gooftaan dhuma irratti isaaf godhes argitaniirtu. Gooftaan gara laafinaa fi araaraan kan guutamee dha.
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.
Hundumaa caalaa immoo yaa obboloota ko, hin kakatinaa; samiin yookaan lafaan yookaan waan biraa tokkoon illee hin kakatinaa. Wanni isin jechuu qabdan, “Eeyyee” yookaan “waawuu” haa taʼu. Yoo kanaa achii isinitti murama.
13 And if any of you be in affliction, let him pray; and if he rejoice, let him sing;
Isin keessaa namni dhiphachaa jiru jiraa? Inni haa kadhatu. Namni gammadu jiraa? Inni faarfannaa galataa haa faarfatu.
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.
Isin keessaa namni dhukkubsatu jiraa? Inni jaarsolii waldaa kiristaanaa haa waamsifatu; isaanis maqaa Gooftaatiin zayitii isa dibanii haa kadhataniif.
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.
Kadhannaan amantiin godhamu nama dhukkubsatu ni fayyisa; Gooftaanis isa ni kaasa. Yoo inni cubbuu hojjetee jiraates ni dhiifamaaf.
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.
Kanaafuu akka fayyitaniif cubbuu keessan walitti himadhaatii walii kadhadhaa. Kadhannaan nama qajeelaa humna qaba; waan guddaas ni hojjeta.
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.
Eeliyaas namuma akka keenyaa ture. Innis akka bokkaan hin roobneef jabeessee kadhate; bokkaanis waggaa sadii fi jiʼa jaʼa lafa irratti hin roobne.
18 And again he prayed, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth gave her fruits.
Ammas deebiʼee kadhate; samiin bokkaa kenne; laftis midhaan baafte.
19 my brethren, if any of you shall err from the way of truth, and one shall convert him from his error,
Yaa obboloota ko, isin keessaa namni tokko yoo dhugaa irraa fagaate, namni biraa immoo yoo isa deebise,
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.
inni nama cubbamaa karaa jalʼaa irraa deebisu lubbuu namicha sanaa akka duʼa jalaa baasu, cubbuu baayʼees akka dhoksu haa beeku.
