< James 5 >

1 Come now, you who are rich, weep and howl over the miseries that are coming upon you.
Bhai, nnaino mmanganyanji matajili nngutanje shililo kwa ligongo lya shilaje sha ogoya shipinga kunnjiilanga.
2 Your riches have rotted, and your garments are moth-eaten.
Utajili gwenunji ubholile na nngubho yenunji iligwilwe na mang'ong'ota.
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.
Shaabhu na ela yenunji ibhishile nkubha, na gwene nkubhago, shigunkong'ondelanje na shiguntaunanje iilu yenunji mbuti moto. Agano mobha ga kumpelo na mmanganyanji launo nnapunjilangape indu.
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.
Nnolanje bhandunji bhakamulangaga maengo mmigunda jenunji bhunkanakwaalipanga, ililo ya bhaunanga inapilikanika, numbe yaishile Bhakulungwa a Nnungu.
5 You have lived on the earth in luxury and self-indulgence. You have nourished your hearts as in a day of slaughter.
Mobha gowe nshitamangana pa shilambolyo nkupoka na indu ya nong'a, nikwiijimbaya kwiibhika ukoto kwa lyubha lya ingwa.
6 You have condemned and murdered the righteous man; he does not resist you.
Nshikwaukumulanga na kwaabhulaganga bhandunji bhangali ilebho, na wala bhakakombolanga kupwata na mmanganyanji.
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.
Kwa nneyo bhaakulupalila ajangunji, mwiikakatimilanje mpaka pushibhaishe Bhakulungwa. Nnolanje mundu nkulima pa lindilila yalimile itendeshe, anakwikakatimila mpaka pushijiishe ula ja nduluko na janula.
8 You also must be patient. Establish your hearts, for the coming of the Lord has drawn near.
Nneyo peyo na nkali mmanganyanji nnapinjikwanga kutama nnikwiikakatimilanga na nnikwiishimilikanga na kwiiluma mitima jenunji, pabha Bhakulungwa bhabhandishile kuika.
9 Do not complain against one another, brothers, so that you will not be judged. Behold, the Judge is standing at the door.
Bhaakulupalila ajangunji nnainginishilane, nnaukumulwanga na a Nnungu. Nnolanje bhaukumula bhali tome na ika.
10 As an example of suffering and patience, my brothers, take the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord.
Bhaakulupalila ajangunji, mpingangaga kumumanya namna ja kwiipililila na mboteko, nkumbushilanje shibhaashite tendanga ashinkulondola bha a Nnungu bhalunguyenje kwa lina lya Bhakulungwa.
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.
Tunabheleketa kuti, mbaya bhene bhaipilililenje bhala pabha bhapatilenje mboka. Mpilikenenje ga kwiipililila kwa a Ayubhu, na nshimanyinji shibhatendelwe na Bhakulungwa a Nnungu kumpelo, pabha bhashikola shiya sha kaje na uguja.
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.
Kupunda gowego, bhaakulupalila ajangunji nnalumbilanje kwa a Nnungu eu kwa litaka, wala kwa shindu shina shoshowe. Ikabheje nnjangulanje, “Elo” monaga shindusho sha jangula elo, na “Nng'oope” monaga shindusho sha jangula ng'oope. Penepo nkaukumulwanga na a Nnungu.
13 Is anyone among you suffering? He should pray. Is anyone of good cheer? He should sing praise.
Bhuli, mundu njenunji mwali nshilaje? Bhai ajuje Nnungu. Bhuli, anaangalala? Bhai ajimbe nyimbo ya lumbilila.
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.
Bhuli, mundu munkumbi gwenunji nnwele? Bhai penepo mwaashemanje bhanangulungwa bha likanisha, bhannjujilanje na kumpaka mauta kwa lina lya Bhakulungwa.
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.
Kwa nneyo ibhaga kujuga kwabhonji kwa a Nnungu ni kwa ngulupai shikunnamiye nnwele jula, numbe Bhakulungwa shibhannjinule, na monaga akwete ilebho, shibhanneshelele.
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.
Bhai nkolangaga ilebho nng'ungamilenanje mwashayenenji na nnjujilananje nkupinga nnamiywanje. Malomboshelo gaka mundu akwete aki gashikola mashili ga kaje numbe ganapwaa kwa kaje.
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.
A Eliya pubhaaliji bhandu malinga uwe, gubhaajujile a Nnungu kwa tumbila kuti ula jinanye, gujileshile kunya kwa yaka itatu na miei shita.
18 Then he prayed again, and the sky gave rain, and the land produced its fruit.
Gubhaajujile a Nnungu kabhili, ula gujinyele kukoposhela kunnungu, litaka gulimeshiye mitipo jakwe.
19 Brothers, if anyone among you wanders from the truth and someone turns him back,
Bhaakulupalila ajangunji, monaga mundu munkumbi gwenunji aobhiywaga na itendi yangali ya mmbone, na juna annjendelaga nikuntendebhushiya kuitendi ya mmbone kabhili,
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.
mmumanyanje kuti jwene anshoshiye njakwe kumpanda gwa obha, shantapule nshiwo jwene mundu aobhile, na yambi yaigwinji shiileshelelwe.
