James 5
1 Listen to me, you rich men, weep and wail for the miseries that are coming upon you!
Hei atahori mamasuꞌiꞌ re! Pasa ndikiꞌ mara fo rena malolole! Hei milaka mala atahori, mana tao-ues ritaꞌ mamate nara fee nggi, nggadꞌi nara. Ia naa mbusa-titi nara rameli rafadꞌe pepeko-leleko mara. Lamatuaꞌ manaseliꞌ a, rena atahori mana tao-ues ra sususa nara. Hei ue-taos mara sia raefafoꞌ ia, naeni akaꞌ tao mimihoꞌo neuꞌ a ao mara, ma misodꞌa mimihoꞌoꞌ a. Ia naa hei onaꞌ sapi mbaruna fo rae tati e. Hei o huku-doki ma misa atahori maloleꞌ, mana nda rasalaꞌe rala ao nara sia mata mara sa. Atahori mamasuꞌiꞌ re! Ama nggae ei-ei leo! Te dei fo doidꞌosoꞌ mataꞌ hetar dai nggi. Hata-heto mara sangga rambalutu hendi se ena. Bꞌua-loꞌa meulau mara o, mbaꞌi a naa hendi se. Lilo mbilas no lilo fula mara nda rafeli sa ena. Dei fo lilo mbilas no lilo fula mara bꞌuꞌi nggi, onaꞌ ai hotu hendi hau metoꞌ. Taꞌo bee de raefafoꞌ nae sambu-lalo, te hei feꞌe tasibꞌu miꞌidꞌuru hata-heto mates naa ra? Hata-heto mara dei fo dadꞌi bukti oi, hei nda mihine saa, mafelit sia Lamatuaꞌ matan sa!
2 Your riches have wasted away, and your clothes have become moth-eaten.
3 Your gold and silver are rusted; and the rust on them shall be evidence against you, and shall eat into your very flesh. It was fire, so to speak, that you stored up for yourselves in these last days.
4 I tell you, the wages of the labourers who mowed your fields, which you have been fraudulently keeping back, are crying out against you, and the outcries of your reapers have reached the ears of the Lord of Hosts!
5 You have lived on earth a life of extravagance and luxury; you have indulged your fancies in a time of bloodshed.
6 You have condemned, you have murdered, the Righteous One! Must not God be opposed to you?
7 Be patient, then, Brothers, till the Coming of the Lord. Even the farmer has to wait for the precious fruit of the earth, watching over it patiently, till it has had the spring and summer rains.
Dadꞌi toronoo nggare! Hei musi miꞌitataaꞌ mihani Lamatuaꞌ neneman. Mete neu atahori mana ue-rae a, naꞌatataaꞌ nahani rae a mbule-bꞌoan. Udꞌan nema, ana sela-nggari. Basa naa, ana nahani udꞌan fai fo tao sela-nggariꞌ ra nggarui. Dꞌodꞌoo ma rambule-rabꞌoa. Losa fain ma, atahori naa neu etu-oru raen mbule-bꞌoa nara.
8 And you must be patient also, and not be discouraged; for the Lord’s Coming is near.
Hei musi mihani onaꞌ naa boe. Maꞌadedere ao mara, nda doo sa te, Lamatua nema ena!
9 Do not make complaints against one another, Brothers, or judgment will be passed upon you. The Judge is already standing at the door!
Toronoo nggare! Afiꞌ unggu-remu esa no esa. Unggu-remu mikindooꞌ a, te dei fo Lamatuaꞌ naꞌetuꞌ huku-dokiꞌ neu nggi! Mete neuꞌ ena, te Mana Nggero-furi mana sia ataꞌ a, nambarii sia mata mara ena.
10 Brothers, as an example of the patient endurance of suffering, take the Prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord.
Toronoo nggare! Tungga conto mia Lamatuaꞌ mana ola-ola nara. Mae ara hambu sususaꞌ mataꞌ-mataꞌ, te ara raꞌatataaꞌ rakandooꞌ a.
11 We count those who displayed such endurance blessed! You have heard, too, of Job’s endurance, and have seen what the Lord’s purpose was, for ‘the Lord is full of pity and compassion.’
Mete ma hambu atahori raꞌatataaꞌ sia susa-sonaꞌ, hita hiiꞌ a soꞌu tananaru atahori naa naran. Onaꞌ baꞌi Ayub. Ana hambu susa-sonaꞌ mataꞌ-mataꞌ, te ana naꞌatataaꞌ nahereꞌ. Boe ma Lamatuaꞌ tudꞌa kasian neu e, de ana tao basaꞌ e dadꞌi maloleꞌ fee neu e. Lamatuaꞌ tao taꞌo naa, huu ralan maloleꞌ ma sofeꞌ no susueꞌ.
12 Above all things, my Brothers, never take an oath, either by heaven, or by earth, or by anything else. With you let ‘Yes’ suffice for yes, and ‘No’ for no, so that you may escape condemnation.
Toronoo nggare! Tungga matetun, ama afiꞌ soꞌu susumbaꞌ. Mete ma mae mifadꞌe mae, “ia”, na, mitaa mae “ia”. Ma mete ma mae mifadꞌe mae, “hokoꞌ”, na, mitaa mae “hokoꞌ” Onaꞌ naa dai ena! Afiꞌ miseliꞌ soꞌu susumbaꞌ mendiꞌ atahori raefafoꞌ naran. Lenaꞌ fai sumba mendiꞌ Lamatualain mana masodꞌaꞌ sia lalai a naran. Nda hambu nggunan soꞌu susumbaꞌ mataꞌ-mataꞌ sa. Te mete ma taꞌo naa, na, simbo teme-ao huku-dꞌoki ma, huu susumba mara.
13 If any of you is in trouble, let him pray; if any one is happy, let him sing hymns.
Mete ma hambu sia hei mana susa-sonaꞌ, malole lenaꞌ ana hule-oꞌe. Ma mete ma hambu sia mana namahoꞌoꞌ, malole lenaꞌ ana sodꞌa koa-kio Lamatuaꞌ.
14 If any one of you is ill, let him send for the Officers of the Church, and let them pray over him, after anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord.
Mete ma hambu sia hei mana mamahedꞌi ra, na, malole lenaꞌ moꞌe lasi-lasi saraniꞌ ra rema. Moꞌe se oꞌose mina neu mamahedꞌi a, ma hule-oꞌe mendiꞌ Lamatuaꞌ naran, fo Lamatuaꞌ naꞌahahaiꞌ e.
15 The prayer offered in faith will save the man who is sick, and the Lord will raise him from his bed; and if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven.
Mete ma hei hule-oꞌe fee atahori hedꞌis ra, ma mimihere tebꞌe-tebꞌeꞌ neu Lamatuaꞌ, dei fo Lamatuaꞌ naꞌahahaiꞌ atahori naa. Ma mete ma atahori naa tao salaꞌ ena, dei fo Lamatuaꞌ fee ambon neu sala-kilun.
16 Therefore, confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, that you may be cured. Great is the power of a good man’s fervent prayer.
Dadꞌi mete ma hambu sia hei tao salaꞌ, na, hei musi mitaa sala mara. No taꞌo naa, hei esa hule-oꞌe fee esa, naa fo hei dadꞌi maloleꞌ. Atahori rala meumareꞌ, hule-oꞌen sofeꞌ no koasa, ma bisa nendiꞌ hahambu maloleꞌ.
17 Elijah was only a man like ourselves, but, when he prayed fervently that it might not rain, no rain fell upon the land for three years and a half.
Onaꞌ baꞌi Elia. Eni o, atahori onaꞌ hita boe. Te ana hule-oꞌe naꞌangge udꞌan, ma nda dooꞌ sa ma udꞌan o naloeꞌ boe. De nda udꞌan losa too telu seseriꞌ sa.
18 And, when he prayed again, the clouds brought rain, and the land bore crops.
Basa ma, ana hule-oꞌe noꞌe udꞌan, ma nda dooꞌ sa ma udꞌan o nema boe. Uru a modꞌo-modꞌo baliꞌ, ma osi-lutu ra o rambule-rabꞌoa baliꞌ.
19 My Brothers, should one of you be led astray from the Truth, and someone bring him back again,
Toronoo nggare! Mete ma hambu ruma sia hei mulai tao salaꞌ de lao hela dꞌala ndoo-tetuꞌ a, basa ma hambu mana tulu-fali de ro baliꞌ e nisiꞌ Lamatuaꞌ dꞌala ndoo-tetun, naa malole.
20 be sure that he who brings a sinner back from his mistaken ways will save that man’s soul from Death, and throw a veil over countless sins.
Misinedꞌa ia malolole! Mete ma hei tulun atahori mana tao salaꞌ, fo ana baliꞌ nisiꞌ Lamatuaꞌ, ma nda tao salaꞌ sa ena, hei mo baliꞌ atahori naa nisi dꞌala masodꞌaꞌ ena, de ana hambu masodꞌaꞌ nakandoo no Lamatuaꞌ. No taꞌo naa, Lamatuaꞌ ose hendi basa sala-kilun ena. Taꞌo naa ena! Mia au, Yakobis
