James 5
1 Come now, you who are rich, weep and howl over the miseries that are coming upon you.
Isin yaa sooreyyii, sababii dhiphinni isinitti dhufuuf jiruutiif booʼaa; wawwaadhaas.
2 Your riches have rotted, and your garments are moth-eaten.
Qabeenyi keessan tortoreera; biliinis uffata keessan nyaateera.
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.
Warqee fi meetiin keessan sameera. Dandaaʼuun isaaniis isinitti dhugaa baʼa; akkuma ibiddaattis foon keessan nyaata. Isin bara dhumaatiif qabeenya walitti qabattaniirtu.
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.
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 You have lived on the earth in luxury and self-indulgence. You have nourished your hearts as in a day of slaughter.
Isin qananii fi gammachuun lafa irra jiraattaniirtu. Guyyaa qalmaatiifis of gabbiftaniirtu.
6 You have condemned and murdered the righteous man; he does not resist you.
Nama qajeelaa isiniin hin morminetti murtanii ajjeeftu.
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.
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 You also must be patient. Establish your hearts, for the coming of the Lord has drawn near.
Isinis akkasuma obsaa; jabaadhaa dhaabadhaas; dhufaatiin Gooftaa dhiʼaateeraatii.
9 Do not complain against one another, brothers, so that you will not be judged. Behold, the Judge is standing at the door.
Yaa obboloota, akka isinitti hin muramneef walitti hin guunguminaa. Kunoo, Abbaan Murtii balbala dura dhaabateera.
10 As an example of suffering and patience, my brothers, take the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord.
Yaa obboloota, raajota maqaa Gooftaatiin dubbachaa turan sana akka fakkeenya dhiphinaa fi obsaatti fudhadhaa.
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.
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 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.
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 Is anyone among you suffering? He should pray. Is anyone of good cheer? He should sing praise.
Isin keessaa namni dhiphachaa jiru jiraa? Inni haa kadhatu. Namni gammadu jiraa? Inni faarfannaa galataa haa faarfatu.
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.
Isin keessaa namni dhukkubsatu jiraa? Inni jaarsolii waldaa kiristaanaa haa waamsifatu; isaanis maqaa Gooftaatiin zayitii isa dibanii haa kadhataniif.
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.
Kadhannaan amantiin godhamu nama dhukkubsatu ni fayyisa; Gooftaanis isa ni kaasa. Yoo inni cubbuu hojjetee jiraates ni dhiifamaaf.
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.
Kanaafuu akka fayyitaniif cubbuu keessan walitti himadhaatii walii kadhadhaa. Kadhannaan nama qajeelaa humna qaba; waan guddaas ni hojjeta.
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.
Eeliyaas namuma akka keenyaa ture. Innis akka bokkaan hin roobneef jabeessee kadhate; bokkaanis waggaa sadii fi jiʼa jaʼa lafa irratti hin roobne.
18 Then he prayed again, and the sky gave rain, and the land produced its fruit.
Ammas deebiʼee kadhate; samiin bokkaa kenne; laftis midhaan baafte.
19 Brothers, if anyone among you wanders from the truth and someone turns him back,
Yaa obboloota ko, isin keessaa namni tokko yoo dhugaa irraa fagaate, namni biraa immoo yoo isa deebise,
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.
inni nama cubbamaa karaa jalʼaa irraa deebisu lubbuu namicha sanaa akka duʼa jalaa baasu, cubbuu baayʼees akka dhoksu haa beeku.
