James 5
1 Come now, you who are rich, weep and howl over the miseries that are coming upon you.
αγε νυν οι πλουσιοι κλαυσατε ολολυζοντες επι ταις ταλαιπωριαις υμων ταις επερχομεναις
2 Your riches have rotted, and your garments are moth-eaten.
ο πλουτος υμων σεσηπεν και τα ιματια υμων σητοβρωτα γεγονεν
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.
ο χρυσος υμων και ο αργυρος κατιωται και ο ιος αυτων εις μαρτυριον υμιν εσται και φαγεται τας σαρκας υμων ως πυρ εθησαυρισατε εν εσχαταις ημεραις
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.
ιδου ο μισθος των εργατων των αμησαντων τας χωρας υμων ο απεστερημενος αφ υμων κραζει και αι βοαι των θερισαντων εις τα ωτα κυριου σαβαωθ εισεληλυθασιν
5 You have lived on the earth in luxury and self-indulgence. You have nourished your hearts as in a day of slaughter.
ετρυφησατε επι της γης και εσπαταλησατε εθρεψατε τας καρδιας υμων ως εν ημερα σφαγης
6 You have condemned and murdered the righteous man; he does not resist you.
κατεδικασατε εφονευσατε τον δικαιον ουκ αντιτασσεται υμιν
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.
μακροθυμησατε ουν αδελφοι εως της παρουσιας του κυριου ιδου ο γεωργος εκδεχεται τον τιμιον καρπον της γης μακροθυμων επ αυτω εως αν λαβη υετον πρωιμον και οψιμον
8 You also must be patient. Establish your hearts, for the coming of the Lord has drawn near.
μακροθυμησατε και υμεις στηριξατε τας καρδιας υμων οτι η παρουσια του κυριου ηγγικεν
9 Do not complain against one another, brothers, so that you will not be judged. Behold, the Judge is standing at the door.
μη στεναζετε κατ αλληλων αδελφοι ινα μη κατακριθητε ιδου κριτης προ των θυρων εστηκεν
10 As an example of suffering and patience, my brothers, take the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord.
υποδειγμα λαβετε της κακοπαθειας αδελφοι μου και της μακροθυμιας τους προφητας οι ελαλησαν τω ονοματι κυριου
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.
ιδου μακαριζομεν τους υπομενοντας την υπομονην ιωβ ηκουσατε και το τελος κυριου ειδετε οτι πολυσπλαγχνος εστιν ο κυριος και οικτιρμων
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.
προ παντων δε αδελφοι μου μη ομνυετε μητε τον ουρανον μητε την γην μητε αλλον τινα ορκον ητω δε υμων το ναι ναι και το ου ου ινα μη υπο κρισιν πεσητε
13 Is anyone among you suffering? He should pray. Is anyone of good cheer? He should sing praise.
κακοπαθει τις εν υμιν προσευχεσθω ευθυμει τις ψαλλετω
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.
ασθενει τις εν υμιν προσκαλεσασθω τους πρεσβυτερους της εκκλησιας και προσευξασθωσαν επ αυτον αλειψαντες αυτον ελαιω εν τω ονοματι του κυριου
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.
και η ευχη της πιστεως σωσει τον καμνοντα και εγερει αυτον ο κυριος καν αμαρτιας η πεποιηκως αφεθησεται αυτω
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.
εξομολογεισθε αλληλοις τα παραπτωματα και ευχεσθε υπερ αλληλων οπως ιαθητε πολυ ισχυει δεησις δικαιου ενεργουμενη
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.
ηλιας ανθρωπος ην ομοιοπαθης ημιν και προσευχη προσηυξατο του μη βρεξαι και ουκ εβρεξεν επι της γης ενιαυτους τρεις και μηνας εξ
18 Then he prayed again, and the sky gave rain, and the land produced its fruit.
και παλιν προσηυξατο και ο ουρανος υετον εδωκεν και η γη εβλαστησεν τον καρπον αυτης
19 Brothers, if anyone among you wanders from the truth and someone turns him back,
αδελφοι εαν τις εν υμιν πλανηθη απο της αληθειας και επιστρεψη τις αυτον
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.
γινωσκετω οτι ο επιστρεψας αμαρτωλον εκ πλανης οδου αυτου σωσει ψυχην εκ θανατου και καλυψει πληθος αμαρτιων
