James 5
1 Come now, [ye] rich men, weep and howl for your miseries that shall come upon [you].
Su vinu mpikaniri mwenga walunda! Mulili na kudaya toziya ya ntabiku yayifira kuwapata.
2 Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are moth-eaten.
Lunda zyenu ziwola, na nguwu zya zyenu waziliya wameyi.
3 Your gold and silver is cankered; and the rust of them shall be a testimony against you, and shall eat your flesh as it were fire. Ye have amassed treasure for the last days.
Zahabu zyenu na mpiya ziwera kutu, na kutu ayi hayiwapitauliri, na yeni hayilii nshimba zyenu gambira motu. Mwenga mlimatira lunda mumashaka aga ga upeleru!
4 Behold, the hire of the laborers who have reaped your fields, which is by you kept back by fraud, crieth: and the cries of them who have reaped have entered into the ears of the Lord of Sabaoth.
Msinda kuwalipa shibena mgongu yawatenda mahengu mumalambu genu. Mpikaniri malalamiku gawu! Kulila kwa awa yawabena malambu kusoka mumakutu ga Mtuwa yakawera na uwezu.
5 Ye have lived in pleasure on the earth, and been wanton; ye have nourished your hearts, as in a day of slaughter.
Mulikala pasipanu mumakaliru ga kulinemeliziya na ga anasa. Mulinenepeziya kala maweni kwa lishaka lya kulikitulwa.
6 Ye have condemned [and] killed the just; [and] he doth not resist you.
Muwatoziti wantu yawamfiriziya Mlungu na kuwalaga, womberi wawabeleriti ndiri mwenga!
7 Be patient, therefore, brethren, to the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience for it, until he receiveth the early and the latter rain.
Su walongu wangu, muhepeleri mpaka Mtuwa pakiza. Muloli yakalima ntambu yakahepelera kwa kuhepera vimeru vyakuwi vilaviyi mabenu gagafiruwa nentu. Yomberi kahepelera kwa kuhepera kwanjira vula zya kuyalira mpaka vula zya upeleru.
8 Be ye also patient; establish your hearts; for the coming of the Lord draweth nigh.
Namwenga vulaa mfiruwa kuhepelera, mgoloki weri munjimiru yenu toziya lishaka lya kusoka kwakuwi Mtuwa lyapakwegera.
9 Grudge not one against another, brethren, lest ye be condemned: behold, the judge standeth before the door.
Walongu wangu, namuhinginika maweni gweka namwiza kutozwa na Mlungu. Yomberi ndo mtoza yakapakwegera, kapamlayangu.
10 Take, my brethren, the prophets, who have spoken in the name of the Lord, for an example of suffering affliction, and of patience.
Walongu wangu, pamufira kuwona uhepelera ntambu yawuwera muntabika, muliholi wambuyi wa Mlungu, watakuliti kwa uwezu wa Mtuwa.
11 Behold, we count them happy who endure. Ye have heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the end of the Lord; that the Lord is very pitiful, and of tender mercy.
Tuwashema womberi mbaka toziya wahepeleriti. Mpikaniriti visoweru vya uhepelera wa Ayubu, na muvimana ntambu Mtuwa yakamtenderiti muupeleru. Toziya Mtuwa kamema lusungu na manemu.
12 But above all things, my brethren, swear not, neither by heaven, neither by the earth, neither by any other oath: but let your yea, be yea: and [your] nay, nay; lest ye fall into condemnation.
Walongu wangu, pa goseri aga namulirapa kumpindi ama kwa pasipanu ama kwa shintu shimonga shoseri. Mlongi “Yina” pamfira kulonga yina na “Ndala” pamfira kulonga ndala, su hapeni mtozwi na Mlungu.
13 Is any among you afflicted? let him pray. Is any cheerful? let him sing psalms.
Hashi, kwana muntu yoseri pakati penu yakawera na ntabiku? Kafiruwa kamluwi Mlungu. Ama kwana muntu yakawera na nemeleru? Kimbi lwimbu lwa uzyumi.
14 Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord:
Hashi, kwana mlweri pakati pamwenga? Kafiruwa kawashemi wazewi wa shipinga sha wantu yawamjimira Yesu, nawomberi hawamluwiri kwa Mlungu na kumswaga lipaki kwa litawu lya Mtuwa.
15 And the prayer of faith will save the sick, and the Lord will raise him up; and if he hath committed sins, they will be forgiven him.
Nawomberi pawaluwa kwa njimiru, mlweri ulii hakaponi, toziya Mtuwa hakamuwuziliri ukomu wakuwi. Na handa kaweriti katenditi vidoda vyoseri vilii, hakalekiziwi.
16 Confess [your] faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of the righteous man availeth much.
Su muligambiri kuleka vidoda vyamtenditi maweni gweka na muliluwili kwa Mlungu maweni gweka su mpati kuponiziwa. Maluwa ga muntu muheri, gawera na makakala ga kutenda mavuwa.
17 Elijah was a man subject to like passions as we are, and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain: and it rained not on the earth by the space of three years and six months.
Eliya kaweriti muntu gambira twenga. Yomberi kaluwiti kwa kugangamala vula nayitowa, na vula itowiti ndiri paisi kwa shipindi sha vinja vitatu na nusu.
18 And he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth brought forth its fruit.
Shakapanu kaluwiti kayi na mpindi itowiti vula na isi imeriziya viboga vyakuwi.
19 Brethren, if any one of you should err from the truth, and one should convert him;
Walongu wangu, muntu yumu penu pakagamira kutali na unakaka, na muntu gwingi pakamwuziya,
20 Let him know, that he who converteth a sinner from the error of his way will save a soul from death, and will hide a multitude of sins.
muvimani kuwera ulii yakamwuziya muntu yakawera na vidoda kulawa munjira ya upotuziya, hakailopoziyi rohu ya muntu ulii kulawa mukuhowa na vidoda vivuwa havilekiziwi na Mungu.
