James 5
1 Come now, you rich, weep and howl for your miseries that are coming on you.
Sambano mpilikane ŵanyamwe ŵaipanje! Nlile ni kulila kwa malumbo kwa ligongo lya kulaga kwakukunnyichilila.
2 Your riches are corrupted and your garments are moth-eaten.
Ipanje yenu iwosile ni minjilo jenu jililikwe ni chimbulukuku.
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.
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 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.
Nganimwalipa aŵala ŵaŵapangenye masengo mmigunda mwenu. Mpilikanile yakuti kulalatila, kulila kwa ŵandu ŵakugowola mmigunda jenu kuiche mmapikanilo ga Ambuje ŵaali ni ukombole.
5 You have lived in luxury on the earth, and taken your pleasure. You have nourished your hearts as in a day of slaughter.
Ntemi mchilambo kwa utame wakulisengwasya kwannope. Nlijimbesye mwachinsyene mpela ng'ombe jajili chile kwa lyuŵa lya kusingwa.
6 You have condemned and you have murdered the righteous one. He doesn’t resist you.
Mwalamwile ni kwaulaga ŵandu ŵambone paujo pa Akunnungu, ŵanganankanila ŵanyamwe.
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.
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 You also be patient. Establish your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is at hand.
Iyoyo peyo ni ŵanyamwe ŵakwe mpililile, nkole mitima jakulimba ligongo kwika kwa Ambuje kuŵandichile.
9 Don’t grumble, brothers, against one another, so that you won’t be judged. Behold, the judge stands at the door.
Achalongo achinjangu, nkanyinyitilana mwachinsyene pe ntakulamulikwa ni Akunnungu. Jwakulamula aŵandichile kwika.
10 Take, brothers, for an example of suffering and of perseverance, the prophets who spoke in the name of 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 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.
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 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.
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 any among you suffering? Let him pray. Is any cheerful? Let him sing praises.
Ana apali mundu jwalijose mu mpingo wenu jwakusauka? Apopeleje. Jwakusangalala ajimbe nyimbo sya kulapa.
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;
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 heal him who is sick, and the Lord will raise him up. If he has committed sins, he will be forgiven.
Ni akula kupopelela kwa chikulupi chikunnamisye jwakulwala jo, nombe Ambuje chanlamye. Naga ŵatesile sambi, chalecheleswe.
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.
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 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.
Che Elia ŵaliji mundu mpela uwe, ŵapopelele kwa kuchalila kuti jikanya ula ni nganijinya ula pachilambo yaka itatu ni miesi sita.
18 He prayed again, and the sky gave rain, and the earth produced its fruit.
Nipele ŵapopelele sooni ni ula janyele kutyochela kumaunde ni chilambo chasogwesye magungulo.
19 Brothers, if any among you wanders from the truth and someone turns him back,
Achalongo achinjangu, iŵaga mundu jwalijose mwa ŵanyamwe asochelaga ni kuuleka usyene, ni mundu jwine ammusyaga,
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.
nipele mmanyilile kuti mundu jwalijose jwakummusya jwa sambi kutyochela nkusoya kwakwe, jwelejo chankulupusye mundu jo kutyochela mchiwa ni kwatenda Akunnungu ŵatyochesye sambi syao syejinji.
