James 5
1 Come now, you who are rich, weep and howl over the miseries that are coming upon you.
| ܐܘ ܥܬܝܪܐ ܐܝܠܠܘ ܘܒܟܘ ܥܠ ܕܘܘܢܐ ܕܐܬܝܢ ܥܠܝܟܘܢ |
2 Your riches have rotted, and your garments are moth-eaten.
| ܥܘܬܪܟܘܢ ܓܝܪ ܐܬܚܒܠ ܘܤܪܝ ܘܡܐܢܝܟܘܢ ܐܬܐܟܠܘ ܡܢ ܤܤܐ |
3 Your gold and silver have rusted, and their rust will be a testimony against you and will eat your flesh like fire. You have laid up treasure in the last days.
| ܘܕܗܒܟܘܢ ܘܤܐܡܟܘܢ ܐܫܚܬ ܠܗ ܘܫܘܚܬܗܘܢ ܗܘܝܐ ܠܤܗܕܘܬܐ ܥܠܝܟܘܢ ܘܗܝ ܥܬܝܕܐ ܕܬܐܟܘܠ ܒܤܪܟܘܢ ܢܘܪܐ ܟܢܫܬܘܢ ܠܟܘܢ ܠܝܘܡܬܐ ܐܚܪܝܐ |
4 Behold, the wages of the workers who harvested your fields, which you kept back by fraud, cry out, and the cries of the reapers have reached the ears of the Lord of hosts.
| ܗܐ ܐܓܪܐ ܕܦܥܠܐ ܕܚܨܕܘ ܐܪܥܬܟܘܢ ܗܘ ܕܛܠܡܬܘܢ ܩܥܐ ܘܓܥܬܐ ܕܚܨܘܕܐ ܠܐܕܢܘܗܝ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܨܒܐܘܬ ܥܠܬ |
5 You have lived on the earth in luxury and self-indulgence. You have nourished your hearts as in a day of slaughter.
| ܒܤܡܬܘܢ ܓܝܪ ܥܠ ܐܪܥܐ ܘܐܬܠܥܒܬܘܢ ܘܬܪܤܝܬܘܢ ܦܓܪܝܟܘܢ ܐܝܟ ܕܠܝܘܡܐ ܕܢܟܤܬܐ |
6 You have condemned and murdered the righteous man; he does not resist you.
| ܚܝܒܬܘܢ ܘܩܛܠܬܘܢ ܠܙܕܝܩܐ ܘܠܐ ܩܡ ܠܘܩܒܠܟܘܢ |
7 Therefore be patient, brothers, until the coming of the Lord. Behold, the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth, being patient for it until it receives the early and latter rain.
| ܐܢܬܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܐܚܝ ܐܓܪܘ ܪܘܚܟܘܢ ܥܕܡܐ ܠܡܐܬܝܬܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܐܝܟ ܐܟܪܐ ܕܡܤܟܐ ܠܦܐܪܐ ܝܩܝܪܐ ܕܐܪܥܗ ܘܡܓܪ ܪܘܚܗ ܥܠܝܗܘܢ ܥܕܡܐ ܕܢܤܒ ܡܛܪܐ ܒܟܝܪܝܐ ܘܠܩܝܫܝܐ |
8 You also must be patient. Establish your hearts, for the coming of the Lord has drawn near.
| ܗܟܢܐ ܐܦ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܐܓܪܘ ܪܘܚܟܘܢ ܘܠܒܘܬܟܘܢ ܫܪܪܘ ܩܪܒܬ ܠܗ ܓܝܪ ܡܐܬܝܬܗ ܕܡܪܢ |
9 Do not complain against one another, brothers, so that you will not be judged. Behold, the Judge is standing at the door.
| ܠܐ ܬܬܢܚܘܢ ܚܕ ܥܠ ܚܕ ܐܚܝ ܕܠܐ ܬܬܕܝܢܘܢ ܗܐ ܓܝܪ ܕܝܢܐ ܩܕܡ ܬܪܥܐ ܩܐܡ |
10 As an example of suffering and patience, my brothers, take the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord.
| ܕܡܘܬܐ ܠܢܒܝܐ ܤܒܘ ܠܟܘܢ ܐܚܝ ܠܡܓܪܬ ܪܘܚܐ ܕܐܘܠܨܢܝܟܘܢ ܗܢܘܢ ܕܡܠܠܘ ܒܫܡܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ |
11 Behold, we regard as blessed those who endure. You have heard of the endurance of Job. Now consider the purpose of the Lord, how he is full of compassion and mercy.
| ܗܐ ܓܝܪ ܝܗܒܝܢܢ ܛܘܒܐ ܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܤܝܒܪܘ ܫܡܥܬܘܢ ܡܤܝܒܪܢܘܬܗ ܕܐܝܘܒ ܘܚܪܬܐ ܕܥܒܕ ܠܗ ܡܪܝܐ ܚܙܝܬܘܢ ܡܛܠ ܕܡܪܚܡܢ ܗܘ ܡܪܝܐ ܘܡܪܚܦܢ |
12 Above all, my brothers, do not swear, neither by heaven, nor by earth, nor by any other oath. But let your “Yes” be “Yes” and your “No” be “No,” so that you will not fall into hypocrisy.
| ܩܕܡ ܟܠ ܡܕܡ ܕܝܢ ܐܚܝ ܠܐ ܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܝܡܝܢ ܠܐ ܒܫܡܝܐ ܘܠܐ ܒܐܪܥܐ ܐܦܠܐ ܒܡܘܡܬܐ ܐܚܪܬܐ ܐܠܐ ܬܗܘܐ ܡܠܬܟܘܢ ܐܝܢ ܐܝܢ ܘܠܐ ܠܐ ܕܠܐ ܬܬܚܝܒܘܢ ܬܚܝܬ ܕܝܢܐ |
13 Is anyone among you suffering? He should pray. Is anyone of good cheer? He should sing praise.
| ܘܐܢ ܐܢܫ ܡܢܟܘܢ ܢܗܘܐ ܒܐܘܠܨܢܐ ܢܗܘܐ ܡܨܠܐ ܘܐܢ ܚܕܐ ܢܗܘܐ ܡܙܡܪ |
14 Is anyone among you sick? He should call for the elders of the church, and they should pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord.
| ܘܐܢ ܟܪܝܗ ܢܩܪܐ ܠܩܫܝܫܐ ܕܥܕܬܐ ܘܢܨܠܘܢ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܘܢܡܫܚܘܢܗ ܡܫܚܐ ܒܫܡܗ ܕܡܪܢ |
15 The prayer of faith will save the one who is sick, and the Lord will raise him up. And if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven.
| ܘܨܠܘܬܐ ܕܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܡܚܠܡܐ ܠܗ ܠܗܘ ܕܟܪܝܗ ܘܡܩܝܡ ܠܗ ܡܪܢ ܘܐܢ ܚܛܗܐ ܥܒܝܕܝܢ ܠܗ ܡܫܬܒܩܝܢ ܠܗ |
16 Confess your trespasses to one another and pray for one another so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is very powerful and effective.
| ܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܡܘܕܝܢ ܤܟܠܘܬܟܘܢ ܚܕ ܠܚܕ ܘܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܡܨܠܝܢ ܚܕ ܥܠ ܚܕ ܕܬܬܐܤܘܢ ܪܒ ܗܘ ܓܝܪ ܚܝܠܗ ܕܨܠܘܬܐ ܐܝܕܐ ܕܙܕܝܩܐ ܡܨܠܐ ܠܗ |
17 Elijah was a man with a nature like ours, and he prayed earnestly that it would not rain, and for three years and six months it did not rain on the land.
| ܐܦ ܐܠܝܐ ܒܪܢܫܐ ܗܘܐ ܚܫܘܫܐ ܐܟܘܬܢ ܘܨܠܝ ܕܠܐ ܢܚܘܬ ܡܛܪܐ ܥܠ ܐܪܥܐ ܘܠܐ ܢܚܬ ܬܠܬ ܫܢܝܢ ܘܫܬܐ ܝܪܚܝܢ |
18 Then he prayed again, and the sky gave rain, and the land produced its fruit.
| ܘܬܘܒ ܨܠܝ ܘܫܡܝܐ ܝܗܒܘ ܡܛܪܐ ܘܐܪܥܐ ܝܗܒܬ ܦܐܪܝܗ |
19 Brothers, if anyone among you wanders from the truth and someone turns him back,
| ܐܚܝ ܐܢ ܐܢܫ ܡܢܟܘܢ ܢܛܥܐ ܡܢ ܐܘܪܚܐ ܕܩܘܫܬܐ ܘܢܦܢܝܘܗܝ ܐܢܫ ܡܢ ܛܥܝܘܬܗ |
20 be assured that whoever turns a sinner back from the error of his way will save a soul from death and cover a multitude of sins.
| ܢܕܥ ܕܗܘ ܕܡܗܦܟ ܠܚܛܝܐ ܡܢ ܛܥܝܘܬܐ ܕܐܘܪܚܗ ܡܚܐ ܢܦܫܗ ܡܢ ܡܘܬܐ ܘܥܛܐ ܤܘܓܐܐ ܕܚܛܗܘܗܝ |
