James 5
1 Come now, you rich, weep and howl for your miseries that are coming on you.
Dejte torej, bogatini, jokajte javkajoč o bedah, katere vam pridejo;
2 Your riches are corrupted and your garments are moth-eaten.
Bogastvo vaše je iztrohnelo, in oblačila vaša so moli snedli;
3 Your gold and your silver are corroded, and their corrosion will be for a testimony against you and will eat your flesh like fire. You have laid up your treasure in the last days.
Zlato vaše in srebro je zrujavelo, in njih ruja bode v pričanje vam, in žrla meso vaše kakor ogenj; zaklade ste zbirali v zadnjih dnevih.
4 Behold, the wages of the laborers who mowed your fields, which you have kept back by fraud, cry out; and the cries of those who reaped have entered into the ears of the Lord of Armies.
Glej, plačilo delalcev, kateri so kosili polja vaša, ki ste ga jim utrgali, kriči; in vpitje ženjic prišlo je do ušes Gospoda Sabaot.
5 You have lived in luxury on the earth, and taken your pleasure. You have nourished your hearts as in a day of slaughter.
V požréšnosti ste na zemlji živeli in razkošnosti; srca svoja ste redili kakor o dnevi klanja.
6 You have condemned and you have murdered the righteous one. He doesn’t resist you.
Obsodili, ubili ste pravičnega; ne ustavlja se vam!
7 Be patient therefore, brothers, until the coming of the Lord. Behold, the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth, being patient over it, until it receives the early and late rain.
Bodite torej potrpežljivi, bratje, do prihoda Gospodovega. Glej, ratar pričakuje drazega sadú zemljé, potrpežljiv zanj, da dobi dež zgodnji in kasni;
8 You also be patient. Establish your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is at hand.
Bodite potrpežljivi tudi vi, pokrepčajte srca svoja, ker prihod Gospodov se je približal.
9 Don’t grumble, brothers, against one another, so that you won’t be judged. Behold, the judge stands at the door.
Ne zdihujte drug zoper druzega, bratje, da ne bodete obsojeni; glej, sodnik stoji pred vrati!
10 Take, brothers, for an example of suffering and of perseverance, the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord.
Za zgled vzemite trpljenja in potrpežljivosti, bratje, preroke, kateri so govorili v imenu Gospodovem.
11 Behold, we call them blessed who endured. You have heard of the perseverance of Job and have seen the Lord in the outcome, and how the Lord is full of compassion and mercy.
Glej, blagrujemo stanovitne; o stanovitnosti Jobovi ste čuli, in konec Gospodov ste videli; ker usmiljen je Gospod in milosrčen.
12 But above all things, my brothers, don’t swear—not by heaven, or by the earth, or by any other oath; but let your “yes” be “yes”, and your “no”, “no”, so that you don’t fall into hypocrisy.
Pred vsem pa, bratje moji, ne prisezajte; ne pri nebu, ne pri zemlji, ne kake druge prisege; bodi pa vaše; dá, dá, in ne, ne! da ne padete pod sodbo.
13 Is any among you suffering? Let him pray. Is any cheerful? Let him sing praises.
Trpi li kdo med vami? moli naj; je li kdo dobre volje? prepeva naj.
14 Is any among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the assembly, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord;
Je-li kdo bolan med vami? pokliče naj k sebi starejšine občine, in molijo naj nad njim, ter pomazilijo ga z oljem v imenu Gospodovem;
15 and the prayer of faith will heal him who is sick, and the Lord will raise him up. If he has committed sins, he will be forgiven.
In molitev vere bode pomagala bolniku, in ozdravil ga bode Gospod; in ako je storil grehe, odpustilo se mu bode.
16 Confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The insistent prayer of a righteous person is powerfully effective.
Izpovedujte si med seboj grehe, in molite zase med seboj, da bodete ozdravljeni! Mnogo more krepka molitev pravičnega.
17 Elijah was a man with a nature like ours, and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain, and it didn’t rain on the earth for three years and six months.
Elija je bil človek enakočuten z nami in v molitvi je molil, naj ne dežuje, in deževalo ni na zemlji tri leta in mesece tri;
18 He prayed again, and the sky gave rain, and the earth produced its fruit.
In zopet je molil, in nebo je dalo dežja, in zemlja je rodila sad svoj.
19 Brothers, if any among you wanders from the truth and someone turns him back,
Bratje, ako kdo med vami zabrede od resnice in ga kdo nazaj pripelje,
20 let him know that he who turns a sinner from the error of his way will save a soul from death and will cover a multitude of sins.
Vedi, da kdor nazaj pripelje grešnika s krive poti, rešil bode dušo njegovo smrti, in pokril grehov obilost.
