James 5
1 Now [I have something to say to] the rich people [who do not believe in Christ and who] ([oppress you/cause you to suffer]). Listen [to me], you rich people! You should weep and wail [loudly] [DOU] because you will experience terrible troubles [PRS]!

2 Your wealth [of various kinds] is [worthless] [MET], [as though it were] rotted. Your fine clothes are [worthless] [MET], [as though] termites had ruined them.
ಯುಷ್ಮಾಕಂ ದ್ರವಿಣಂ ಜೀರ್ಣಂ ಕೀಟಭುಕ್ತಾಃ ಸುಚೇಲಕಾಃ|
3 Your gold and silver are [worthless] [MET], [as though they were] corroded. [When God judges you], this worthless wealth [MTY] of yours will be evidence [PRS] that you are guilty [of being greedy], and as rust and fire [destroy] [MET, SYN] things, [God] will severely punish you [SIM]. You have ([in vain/uselessly]) (stored up/accumulated) [wealth] at a time when [God] is about to [judge you] [MTY].

4 Think [about what you have done]. You have not paid wages to the workmen who have harvested your fields for you, [with the result that] [PRS] those reapers are crying out [to God for him to help them]. [And God], the all-powerful Lord, has heard their loud cries.

5 You have lived luxuriously, just to have pleasure [here] on earth. [Just like cattle fatten themselves, not realizing that] they will be slaughtered [MET], you have [lived just for pleasure] [MTY], [not realizing that God will severely punish you].

6 You have [arranged for others/judges to] condemn innocent people. You have [arranged for others to kill] some people. [And even though] those people had not done anything wrong, they were not [able to] defend themselves against you. [My fellow believers, that is what I say to the rich people] ([who oppress you/cause you to suffer]).

7 So, my fellow believers, [although rich people cause you to suffer], be patient until the Lord [Jesus Christ] comes [back]. Remember that when farmers [plant a field], they wait for their valuable crops to grow. They must wait patiently for the rain [that comes] at the planting season and for more rain [that comes] just before the harvest season. They wait [for] the crops [to grow and mature before they can harvest them].

8 [Similarly], you also should [wait] patiently and trust the Lord [Jesus] firmly, because he is coming [back] soon [and will judge all people fairly].

9 My fellow believers, do not complain about each other, in order that you will not be condemned [and punished by the Lord Jesus] {in order that [the Lord Jesus] will not condemn you}. It is he who will judge us, and he is ready to appear.
ಹೇ ಭ್ರಾತರಃ, ಯೂಯಂ ಯದ್ ದಣ್ಡ್ಯಾ ನ ಭವೇತ ತದರ್ಥಂ ಪರಸ್ಪರಂ ನ ಗ್ಲಾಯತ, ಪಶ್ಯತ ವಿಚಾರಯಿತಾ ದ್ವಾರಸಮೀಪೇ ತಿಷ್ಠತಿ|
10 My fellow believers, as an example [of how to be patient], (consider/think about) the prophets whom the Lord [God sent long ago] to speak his messages [MTY]. [Although people caused] the prophets to suffer a lot, they endured it patiently.
ಹೇ ಮಮ ಭ್ರಾತರಃ, ಯೇ ಭವಿಷ್ಯದ್ವಾದಿನಃ ಪ್ರಭೋ ರ್ನಾಮ್ನಾ ಭಾಷಿತವನ್ತಸ್ತಾನ್ ಯೂಯಂ ದುಃಖಸಹನಸ್ಯ ಧೈರ್ಯ್ಯಸ್ಯ ಚ ದೃಷ್ಟಾನ್ತಾನ್ ಜಾನೀತ|
11 And we know that [God] (approves of/is pleased with) those who endure [suffering for him]. You have also heard about Job. You know that [although he suffered much], the Lord [God] finally caused things to turn out well [for Job because] he endured [that suffering] (OR, because he continued [to trust God]). [And from that we know] that the Lord is very compassionate and kind.

12 Also, my fellow believers, [I want to say] something important [about how you talk]. [If you say that you will do something], do not say, “If I do not do it, may [God in] heaven [MTY] punish me.” Do not even say, “If I do not do it, may [someone here on] earth [MTY] punish me.” Do not say anything like that. Instead, if you say “Yes,” then [do what you said that you would do]. If you say “No,” then do not [do it]. Otherwise, [God] will condemn you.

13 Whoever among you is experiencing trouble [RHQ] should pray [that God would help him. Whoever] is cheerful/happy [RHQ] should sing songs of praise [to God].
ಯುಷ್ಮಾಕಂ ಕಶ್ಚಿದ್ ದುಃಖೀ ಭವತಿ? ಸ ಪ್ರಾರ್ಥನಾಂ ಕರೋತು| ಕಶ್ಚಿದ್ ವಾನನ್ದಿತೋ ಭವತಿ? ಸ ಗೀತಂ ಗಾಯತು|
14 Whoever among you is sick [RHQ] should call the leaders of the congregation [to come to pray for him]. They should put [olive] oil on him and, with the Lord’s authority [MTY] (OR, calling on the Lord [to heal him]), pray.
ಯುಷ್ಮಾಕಂ ಕಶ್ಚಿತ್ ಪೀಡಿತೋ ಽಸ್ತಿ? ಸ ಸಮಿತೇಃ ಪ್ರಾಚೀನಾನ್ ಆಹ್ವಾತು ತೇ ಚ ಪಭೋ ರ್ನಾಮ್ನಾ ತಂ ತೈಲೇನಾಭಿಷಿಚ್ಯ ತಸ್ಯ ಕೃತೇ ಪ್ರಾರ್ಥನಾಂ ಕುರ್ವ್ವನ್ತು|
15 And if they truly trust [in the Lord] when they pray [PRS], the sick person will be healed. The Lord will heal him. And if that person has sinned ([in a way that caused him to be/and because of that he became]) [sick, if he] ([confesses what he did/says that he did what is wrong]), he will be forgiven {[the Lord] will forgive him}.
ತಸ್ಮಾದ್ ವಿಶ್ವಾಸಜಾತಪ್ರಾರ್ಥನಯಾ ಸ ರೋಗೀ ರಕ್ಷಾಂ ಯಾಸ್ಯತಿ ಪ್ರಭುಶ್ಚ ತಮ್ ಉತ್ಥಾಪಯಿಷ್ಯತಿ ಯದಿ ಚ ಕೃತಪಾಪೋ ಭವೇತ್ ತರ್ಹಿ ಸ ತಂ ಕ್ಷಮಿಷ್ಯತೇ|
16 So, [because the Lord is able to heal the sick and to forgive sins], tell each other the sinful things that you have done, and pray for each other in order that you may be healed {that [God] may heal you} [physically and spiritually]. If righteous people [pray and] ask fervently [for God to do something, God] will certainly do it in a powerful way.

17 [Although the prophet] Elijah was (an ordinary person/just a human being) like us, he earnestly prayed that it would not rain. [As a result], it did not rain for three and a half years.
ಯ ಏಲಿಯೋ ವಯಮಿವ ಸುಖದುಃಖಭೋಗೀ ಮರ್ತ್ತ್ಯ ಆಸೀತ್ ಸ ಪ್ರಾರ್ಥನಯಾನಾವೃಷ್ಟಿಂ ಯಾಚಿತವಾನ್ ತೇನ ದೇಶೇ ಸಾರ್ದ್ಧವತ್ಸರತ್ರಯಂ ಯಾವದ್ ವೃಷ್ಟಿ ರ್ನ ಬಭೂವ|
18 Then he prayed again, [asking God to send rain], and [as a result God] [MTY] sent rain, and plants [grew and] produced crops [again].

19 My fellow believers, if anyone of you stops obeying the true message [from God], someone from among you should persuade that person to once again do [what God has told us to do]. [If he stops doing what is wrong],
ಹೇ ಭ್ರಾತರಃ, ಯುಷ್ಮಾಕಂ ಕಸ್ಮಿಂಶ್ಚಿತ್ ಸತ್ಯಮತಾದ್ ಭ್ರಷ್ಟೇ ಯದಿ ಕಶ್ಚಿತ್ ತಂ ಪರಾವರ್ತ್ತಯತಿ
20 the one [who persuaded him] should realize that [because] he has enabled the person who was sinning to stop doing what is wrong, [God] will save that person from ([spiritual] death/being separated from him forever), and will forgive [his] many sins.
