James 5
1 Come now, you who are rich, weep and howl over the miseries that are coming upon you.
Mwize inwe mu fumite, mulile, mubokolole cha kunyanda kwenu ku kezite.
2 Your riches have rotted, and your garments are moth-eaten.
Chifumu chenu chi bolete, ni zizabalo zenu zi lilwe mafele.
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.
Igauda yenu ni silivera yenu zina mafume, mafume azo kaabe bupaki bumi sumina indaba. Imi kazi mane inyama zenu ubu mulilo. Mukunganye chifumu mu mazuba a mamanimani.
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.
Mubone, intuwelo za ba tendi be mitendo yaku ku sinza mu mawa enu balila kakuti muba ba lili mali abo, mi chililo cha ba sinzi chiba ka siki mu matwi a Simwine wa bantu bonse.
5 You have lived on the earth in luxury and self-indulgence. You have nourished your hearts as in a day of slaughter.
Mubahali hansi cha kulikola zi nunite. Muba nunisi inkulo zenu che zuba lya kwihaya.
6 You have condemned and murdered the righteous man; he does not resist you.
Muba nyazi nikwi haya muntu yo lukite, mi kana aba kani.
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.
Mulindize, bakwangu, hesi Simwine hete neze, mubone mulimi ha lindila lukau lu zwa mwibu. Ulikoza kulindila, kuti a tambule invula ye ntanzi ni ya mamanimani.
8 You also must be patient. Establish your hearts, for the coming of the Lord has drawn near.
Mi mulikoze mwi nkulo zenu, kakuti kwiza kwa Simwine chi kwina hafwihi.
9 Do not complain against one another, brothers, so that you will not be judged. Behold, the Judge is standing at the door.
Kanji mubileli, bakwangu chaku bona bamwi mulandu, mubone, inkatulo izimene ha mulyango.
10 As an example of suffering and patience, my brothers, take the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord.
Muhinde mutala, bakwangu, kuzwa ku manyando aba Profita baba likozi baba wambi mwi izina lya Simwine,
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.
mubone, tuba wambila kuti bena imbuyoti baba woli ku likoza. Muba zuwi kaza Jobo zakusa benga kwakwe, mi muba boni mamanimani akwe, mi mwizi ibaka lya Simwine, kakuti wizwile chisemo nense.
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.
Muzintu zonse, bakwetu, kanji mukonki che wulu ni ku konka che nkanda kamba ka mukonkelo, uhi no uhi, mukuti muleke chimu “suna” cibe chimu “suni”, chimu “sasuni” cibe cimu “sasuni,” kuti kanji mu wili munkatulo.
13 Is anyone among you suffering? He should pray. Is anyone of good cheer? He should sing praise.
Kana kwenu kwina yo nyandite? Mumusiye a lapele. Kana kwina yo tabite? Mumu leke a zimbe inzimbo.
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.
Heba kwenu kwina yo lwala? Mumu leke a sumpe bakulwana be nkeleke, zebamu lapelele niku musinga oili mwi zina lya Simwine.
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.
Intapelo ye ntumelo ihoza muntu yo lwala. Heba aba tendete chibi, Ireeza kamu swalele.
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.
Muliwambe zibi zenu kuzumwi ni zumwi, mimu lilapelele kuti muhole. Intapelo za muntu yo lukite zina ziho mu misebezi.
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.
Elija abali mukwame sina njeswe. Aba lapeli kuti invula kanji isoki, imi kana iba soki mwi nkanda cha zilimo zo tatwe, ne myezi ina iyanza ni wonke.
18 Then he prayed again, and the sky gave rain, and the land produced its fruit.
Mi Elija aba lapeli hape. Iwulu cilya leta invula, mi inkanda chiya leta zichelo.
19 Brothers, if anyone among you wanders from the truth and someone turns him back,
Ba kwangu, heba zumwi kwenu kezi buniti, imi zumwi umu boza,
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.
heba kuti muntu u ku sanduka mueza libi mwi nzila yakwe ifosahele, uhaza buhalo bwakwe kwifu, no ku fupika zibi cha bungi.
