James 5
1 Come, you rich men, weep aloud and howl for your sorrows which will soon be upon you.
Sambano mpilikane ŵanyamwe ŵaipanje! Nlile ni kulila kwa malumbo kwa ligongo lya kulaga kwakukunnyichilila.
2 Your treasures have rotted, and your piles of clothing are moth-eaten;
Ipanje yenu iwosile ni minjilo jenu jililikwe ni chimbulukuku.
3 your gold and your silver have become covered with rust, and the rust on them will give evidence against you, and will eat your flesh like fire. You have hoarded up wealth in these last days.
Sahabu jenu ni mbiya syenu sikamwile ukutu ni ukutu wakwe chiuŵe umboni pasikati jenu pakuŵa chiijonanje iilu yenu mpela mooto yaukuti kutinisya. Ŵanyamwe nliunjichile ipanje kwa moŵa ga mbesi.
4 I tell you that the pay of the labourers who have gathered in your crops--pay which you are keeping back--is calling out against you; and the outcries of those who have been your reapers have entered into the ears of the Lord of the armies of Heaven.
Nganimwalipa aŵala ŵaŵapangenye masengo mmigunda mwenu. Mpilikanile yakuti kulalatila, kulila kwa ŵandu ŵakugowola mmigunda jenu kuiche mmapikanilo ga Ambuje ŵaali ni ukombole.
5 Here on earth you have lived self-indulgent and profligate lives. You have stupefied yourselves with gross feeding; but a day of slaughter has come.
Ntemi mchilambo kwa utame wakulisengwasya kwannope. Nlijimbesye mwachinsyene mpela ng'ombe jajili chile kwa lyuŵa lya kusingwa.
6 You have condemned--you have murdered-- the righteous man: he offers no resistance.
Mwalamwile ni kwaulaga ŵandu ŵambone paujo pa Akunnungu, ŵanganankanila ŵanyamwe.
7 Be patient therefore, brethren, until the Coming of the Lord. Notice how eagerly a farmer waits for a valuable crop! He is patient over it till it has received the early and the later rain.
Kwayele achalongo achinjangu, mpililileje mpaka pataiche Ambuje. Nlole jwakulima yakuti pakulindilila kwa kupililila aila yaipandile, isogosye magungulo gambone ni yakuti pakujilindilila ula jandanda ni jambesi.
8 So you also must be patient: keeping up your courage; for the Coming of the Lord is now close at hand.
Iyoyo peyo ni ŵanyamwe ŵakwe mpililile, nkole mitima jakulimba ligongo kwika kwa Ambuje kuŵandichile.
9 Do not cry out in condemnation of one another, brethren, lest you come under judgement. I tell you that the Judge is standing at the door.
Achalongo achinjangu, nkanyinyitilana mwachinsyene pe ntakulamulikwa ni Akunnungu. Jwakulamula aŵandichile kwika.
10 In illustration, brethren, of persecution patiently endured take the Prophets who have spoken as messengers from the Lord.
Achalongo achinjangu, mwasakaga kulola chisyasyo cha kulindilila ni kupililila mmasausyo, mwakumbuchile ŵakulondola ŵaŵasalaga utenga wa kutyochela kwa Ambuje ni ŵanyamwe nsyasye chitagu chao.
11 Remember that we call those blessed who endured what they did. You have also heard of Job's patient endurance, and have seen the issue of the Lord's dealings with him--how full of tenderness and pity the Lord is.
Tukwaŵilanga ŵelewo akwete upile pakuŵa ŵapililile. Mpilikene ngani sya kupililila ku che Ayubu, ni nkwimanyilila Ambuje iŵantendele kumbesi. Pakuŵa Ambuje aguumbele chanasa ni umbone.
12 But above all things, my brethren, do not swear, either by Heaven or by the earth, or with any other oath. Let your 'yes' be simply 'yes,' and your 'no' be simply 'no;' that you may not come under condemnation.
Kupunda yeleyo yose achinjangu nkalumbila kwa kwinani atamuno kwa chilambo atamuno kwa chindu chachili chose. Njileje, “Elo” iŵaga nkusaka kuti elo ni “Ngwamba” iŵaga nkusaka kuti ngwamba, pelepo nganlamulikwa ni Akunnungu.
13 Is one of you suffering? Let him pray. Is any one in good spirits? Let him sing a psalm.
Ana apali mundu jwalijose mu mpingo wenu jwakusauka? Apopeleje. Jwakusangalala ajimbe nyimbo sya kulapa.
14 Is any one ill? Let him send for the Elders of the Church, and let them pray over him, after anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord.
Ana apali mundu mu mpingo wenu jwakulwala? Ŵaŵilanje achakulu ilongola ŵa mpingo wa ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito ŵapopelele ni kwapakasya mauta mu liina lya Ambuje.
15 And the prayer of faith will restore the sick man, and the Lord will raise him up to health; and if he has committed sins, they shall be forgiven.
Ni akula kupopelela kwa chikulupi chikunnamisye jwakulwala jo, nombe Ambuje chanlamye. Naga ŵatesile sambi, chalecheleswe.
16 Therefore confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another, so that you may be cured. The heartfelt supplication of a righteous man exerts a mighty influence.
Nsalilane sambi syenu kwa jwine ni jwine ni kupopelelana kuti nlamiswe. Mapopelo gakwe mundu jwambone paujo pa Akunnungu gana machili gakupanganya gamajinji.
17 Elijah was a man with a nature similar to ours, and he earnestly prayed that there might be no rain: and no rain fell on the land for three years and six months.
Che Elia ŵaliji mundu mpela uwe, ŵapopelele kwa kuchalila kuti jikanya ula ni nganijinya ula pachilambo yaka itatu ni miesi sita.
18 Again he prayed, and the sky gave rain and the land yielded its crops.
Nipele ŵapopelele sooni ni ula janyele kutyochela kumaunde ni chilambo chasogwesye magungulo.
19 My brethren, if one of you strays from the truth and some one brings him back,
Achalongo achinjangu, iŵaga mundu jwalijose mwa ŵanyamwe asochelaga ni kuuleka usyene, ni mundu jwine ammusyaga,
20 let him know that he who brings a sinner back from his evil ways will save the man's soul from death and throw a veil over a multitude of sins.
nipele mmanyilile kuti mundu jwalijose jwakummusya jwa sambi kutyochela nkusoya kwakwe, jwelejo chankulupusye mundu jo kutyochela mchiwa ni kwatenda Akunnungu ŵatyochesye sambi syao syejinji.
