James 5
1 Come, you rich men, weep aloud and howl for your sorrows which will soon be upon you.
A KOMAIL kapwapwa kan, janejanki o weriwereki, kampamail pan lel on komail!
2 Your treasures have rotted, and your piles of clothing are moth-eaten;
Omail kapwa kan olar, o man en mot kanalar omail likau kan.
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.
Omail kold o jilper mirelar, ari, ar mir me pan kadede on komail, o pan war pajan uduk omail due kijiniai. Nan komail nakier kapwa ni imwin ran akan.
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.
Komail war, pwain en toun dodok, me kop penaer dipijou en jap omail, me komail kulia janer, kin weriwer; o likwir en jaundolun akan lel on karona en Kaun Jepaot.
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.
Komail ipuepuarok kier me jued nin jappa, dender on, komail kamue matier monion omail rajon man wi, me pan kamela.
6 You have condemned--you have murdered-- the righteous man: he offers no resistance.
Komail kadeikada o kamela me pun o, a a jota palian komail er.
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.
Ari ri ai ko, komail kononama lao lel en atail Kaun a pan kotin pwarado. Kilan, jaumat amen kin auiaui wa mau en jap o, o a kin kanonama lao katau en maj o mur moredier.
8 So you also must be patient: keeping up your courage; for the Coming of the Lord is now close at hand.
Komail ari pil kanonama eta, katene monion omail, pwe en atail Kaun a pwarado me korendor.
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.
Ri ai ko, komail der pilipil en pan moli ki amen amen, pwe komail ender pakadeikada. Kilan, jaunkadeik o mi pan wanim.
10 In illustration, brethren, of persecution patiently endured take the Prophets who have spoken as messengers from the Lord.
Ri ai ko, ni omail kalokoloko kanonama komail alale jan jaukop akan, me kokopeki ni mar en Kaun o.
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.
Kilan, kitail kin kapina me dadauratar. Komail roner duen kanonama en lop, o kilaner imwin Kaun O, pwe Kaun o kin kupukupura o kapunlol kaualap.
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.
Ri ai ko, komail kalaka, pwe komail der kaula; der kaukila lan de jappa, o der wia eu jon en kaula; a omail japen en ei ta, o omail jo en jo, pwe komail de lodi on kadeik o.
13 Is one of you suffering? Let him pray. Is any one in good spirits? Let him sing a psalm.
Ma amen re omail kamekam, a en kapakap, a ma amen injenemau, a en kauleki pjalm.
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.
Ma amen mi re omail me jomau, en ukado jaunkoa en momodijou kan, pwe irail en kapakapa kin i, murin ar keie kin i le ni mar en Kaun o.
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.
Ari, kapakap pojon pan kamaureda me jomau o, o Kaun o pan kakelada i, o ma a wiaer dip kai, re pan japedokalar jan.
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.
I me komail en weok pena dip omail o kapakapaki amen amen, pwe komail en kelail la. Kapakap melel en me pun amen kin kareda me toto.
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.
Eliaj aramaj amen dueta kitail, a kapakapaki katau ender moredi, ari jolar katau moredi on jappa ni par jilu o jaunipon wonu.
18 Again he prayed, and the sky gave rain and the land yielded its crops.
O a kotin pur on kapakap, nanlan ap kamoredier katau, o jap kapareda wa kan.
19 My brethren, if one of you strays from the truth and some one brings him back,
Ri ai ko, meamen mi re omail, me jalonala ni melel, o amen kajapaledo i,
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.
I en aja, me kajapaledo me dipan amen jan ni a jalonala, a kamaureda jan mela nen eu, me a pan pwain kidi dip toto.
