James 5
1 Come now, you rich, weep and howl for your miseries that are coming on you.
Uyai ikozvino imwi vafumi, rirai muridze mhere nekuda kwematambudziko enyu anokuwirai.
2 Your riches are corrupted and your garments are moth-eaten.
Fuma yenyu yakaora, uye nguvo dzenyu dzakava dzakafusiwa.
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.
Goridhe renyu nesirivheri zvava nengura; uye urari hwazvo huchava chapupu kwamuri, uye huchadya nyama yenyu semoto. Makazvichengetera fuma pamazuva ekupedzisira.
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.
Tarira, mubairo wevaranda vakacheka minda yenyu, yakanyimwa nemwi nekunyengera, unodanidzira; nekuchema kwevacheki kwakasvika kunzeve dzaIshe wehondo.
5 You have lived in luxury on the earth, and taken your pleasure. You have nourished your hearts as in a day of slaughter.
Makagara muumbozha panyika, uye makakarira zvinofadza; makakodza moyo yenyu sepazuva rekubaya.
6 You have condemned and you have murdered the righteous one. He doesn’t resist you.
Makapa mhosva, makauraya wakarurama; haakupikisii.
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.
Naizvozvo ivai nemoyo murefu, hama, kusvikira pakuuya kwaIshe. Tarira, murimi anomirira chibereko chinokosha chevhu, anochiitira moyo murefu, kusvikira chagamuchira mvura yekutanga neyekupedzisira.
8 You also be patient. Establish your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is at hand.
Imwiwo ivai nemoyo murefu; simbisai moyo yenyu, nokuti kuuya kwaIshe kwaswedera.
9 Don’t grumble, brothers, against one another, so that you won’t be judged. Behold, the judge stands at the door.
Musanyunyutirana, hama, kuti murege kupiwa mhosva; tarira, mutongi amire pamukova.
10 Take, brothers, for an example of suffering and of perseverance, the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord.
Torai vaporofita semuenzaniso wekutambudzika, hama dzangu, newemoyo murefu, vakataura nezita raIshe.
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.
Tarira, tinoti vakaropafadzwa vanotsungirira; makanzwa zvekutsungirira kwaJobho, uye makaona kuguma kwaIshe, kuti Ishe ane moyo munyoro kwazvo uye ane tsitsi.
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.
Asi pamberi pezvese, hama dzangu, musapika, kana nedenga, kana nenyika, kana nekumwe kupika kupi; asi hongu yenyu ngaive hongu, uye kwete, kwete; kuti murege kuwira mukutongwa.
13 Is any among you suffering? Let him pray. Is any cheerful? Let him sing praises.
Kune umwe anotambudzika pakati penyu here? Ngaanyengetere. Pane anofara here? Ngaaimbe mapisarema.
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;
Pane anorwara pakati penyu here? Ngaadane vatariri vekereke; uye ngavanyengetere pamusoro pake, vachimuzodza namafuta muzita raIshe;
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.
uye munyengetero werutendo uchaponesa anorwara, uye Ishe achamumutsa; zvino kana akaita zvivi, achazvikanganwirwa.
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.
Reururiranai zvivi, uye nyengetereranai, kuti muporeswe. Munyengetero wakasimba wewakarurama une simba zvikuru.
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.
Eria wakange ari munhu wemanzwiro akafanana nesu, akanyengetera nemoyo wese kuti kusanaya; ikasanaya panyika makore matatu nemwedzi mitanhatu;
18 He prayed again, and the sky gave rain, and the earth produced its fruit.
zvino wakanyengeterazve; denga ndokupa mvura, nyika ikabereka chibereko chayo.
19 Brothers, if any among you wanders from the truth and someone turns him back,
Hama, kana umwe pakati penyu achitsauka kubva pachokwadi, umwewo akamudzora,
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.
ngaazive kuti uyo anodzora mutadzi pakutsauka kwenzira yake, achaponesa mweya parufu nekufukidza zvivi zvizhinji.
