James 5
1 Come now, you who are rich, weep and wail because of the miseries coming on you.
Hodite vi sad, bogati, plaèite i ridajte za svoje ljute nevolje koje idu na vas.
2 Your riches have rotted, and your clothes have become moth-eaten.
Bogatstvo vaše istruhnu, i haljine vaše pojedoše moljci;
3 Your gold and your silver have become tarnished and their rust will be a witness against you. It will consume your flesh like fire. You have stored up your treasure for the last days.
Zlato vaše i srebro zarða, i rða njihova biæe svjedoèanstvo na vas: izješæe tijelo vaše kao oganj. Stekoste bogatstvo u pošljednje dane.
4 Look, the pay of the laborers is crying out—the pay that you have withheld from those who harvested your fields, and the cries of the harvesters have gone into the ears of the Lord of hosts.
Gle, vièe plata vašijeh poslenika koji su radili njive vaše i vi ste im otkinuli; i vika žetelaca doðe do ušiju Gospoda Savaota.
5 You have lived in luxury on the earth and indulged yourselves. You have fattened your hearts for a day of slaughter.
Veseliste se na zemlji, i nasladiste se; uhraniste srca svoja, kao na dan zaklanja.
6 You have condemned and killed the righteous person. He does not resist you.
Osudiste, ubiste pravednika, i ne brani vam se.
7 So be patient, brothers, until the Lord's coming. See, the farmer awaits the valuable harvest from the ground. He is patiently waiting for it, until it receives the early and late rains.
Trpite dakle, braæo moja, do dolaska Gospodnjega. Gle, težak èeka plemenitoga roda iz zemlje, i rado trpi dok ne primi dažd rani i pozni.
8 You, too, be patient. Make your hearts strong, because the Lord's coming is near.
Trpite dakle i vi, i utvrdite srca svoja, jer se dolazak Gospodnji približi.
9 Do not complain, brothers, against one another, so that you will be not judged. See, the judge is standing at the door.
Ne uzdišite jedan na drugoga, braæo, da ne budete osuðeni: gle, sudija stoji pred vratima.
10 Take an example, brothers, from the suffering and patience of the prophets, those who spoke in the name of the Lord.
Uzmite, braæo moja, za ugled stradanja proroke koji govoriše u ime Gospoda.
11 See, we regard those who endured as blessed. You have heard of the endurance of Job, and you know the purpose of the Lord, how he is very compassionate and merciful.
Gle, blažene nazivamo one koji pretrplješe. Trpljenje Jovljevo èuste, i pošljedak Gospodnji vidjeste: jer je Gospod milostiv i smiluje se.
12 Above all, my brothers, do not swear, either by heaven or by the earth, or by any other oath. Instead, let your “Yes” mean “Yes” and your “No” mean “No,” so you do not fall under judgment.
A prije svega, braæo moja, ne kunite se ni nebom ni zemljom, ni drugom kakvom kletvom; nego neka bude što jest da, i što nije ne, da ne padnete pod sud.
13 Is anyone among you suffering hardship? Let him pray. Is anyone cheerful? Let him sing praise.
Muèi li se ko meðu vama, neka se moli Bogu; je li ko veseo, neka hvali Boga.
14 Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him. Let them anoint him with oil in the name of the Lord.
Boluje li ko meðu vama, neka dozove starješine crkvene, te neka èitaju molitvu nad njim, i neka ga pomažu uljem u ime Gospodnje.
15 The prayer of faith will heal the sick person, and the Lord will raise him up. If he has committed sins, God will forgive him.
I molitva vjere pomoæi æe bolesniku, i podignuæe ga Gospod; i ako je grijehe uèinio, oprostiæe mu se.
16 So confess your sins to one another, and pray for each other, so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is very strong in its working.
Ispovijedajte dakle jedan drugome grijehe, i molite se Bogu jedan za drugoga, da ozdravljate; jer neprestana molitva pravednoga mnogo može pomoæi.
17 Elijah was a man just like us. He prayed earnestly that it would not rain, and it did not rain in the land for three years and six months.
Ilija bješe èovjek smrtan kao i mi, i pomoli se Bogu da ne bude dažda, i ne udari dažd na zemlji za tri godine i šest mjeseci.
18 Then Elijah prayed again. The heavens gave rain, and the earth produced its fruit.
I opet se pomoli i nebo dade dažd, i zemlja iznese rod svoj.
19 My brothers, if anyone among you wanders from the truth, and someone brings him back,
Braæo! ako ko od vas zaðe s puta istine, i obrati ga ko,
20 that person should know that whoever turns a sinner from his wandering way will save him from death, and will cover over a great number of sins.
Neka zna da æe onaj koji obrati grješnika s krivoga puta njegova spasti dušu od smrti, i pokriti mnoštvo grijeha.
