James 5
1 Do now, ye riche men, wepe ye, yellinge in youre wretchidnessis that schulen come to you.
第五項 種々の勧告。 偖も富める人々よ、汝等が身に到來すべき禍の為に叫び歎け。
2 Youre richessis ben rotun, and youre clothis ben etun of mouytis.
汝等の富は腐敗し、汝等の衣服は蠧まれ、
3 Youre gold and siluer hath rustid, and the rust of hem schal be to you in to witnessyng, and schal ete youre fleischis, as fier. Ye han tresourid to you wraththe in the last daies.
汝等の金銀は銹びたり。斯て其銹は汝等に證據と成て、火の如くに汝等の肉を食まん、汝等は末の日に對して怒を貯へたるなり。
4 Lo! the hire of youre werke men, that repiden youre feeldis, which is fraudid of you, crieth; and the cry of hem hath entrid in to the eeris of the Lord of oostis.
看よ、汝等が欺きて、汝等の土地を刈取りし作人に與へざりし賃金は叫ぶ、彼等の叫は萬軍の主の耳に入れり。
5 Ye han ete on the erthe, and in youre letcheries ye han nurschid youre hertis. In the dai of sleyng ye brouyten,
汝等は地上に在りて歓樂し、身を放蕩に委ね、殺害の日に當りても心を満足せしめ、
6 and slowen the iust man, and he ayenstood not you.
義人を罪に定めて之を殺ししも、彼は汝等に抵抗せざりき。
7 Therfor, britheren, be ye pacient, til to the comyng of the Lord. Lo! an erthetilier abidith preciouse fruyt of the erthe, paciently suffrynge, til he resseyue `tymeful and lateful fruyt.
然れば兄弟等よ、主の降臨まで忍耐せよ、看よや農夫が地の尊き果を待ちて、春秋の雨を受くるまで忍耐するを。
8 And be ye pacient, and conferme ye youre hertis, for the comyng of the Lord schal neiye.
然れば汝等も忍耐して心を堅うせよ、蓋主の降臨は近きに在り。
9 Britheren, nyle ye be sorewful ech to other, that ye be not demed. Lo! the iuge stondith niy bifor the yate.
兄弟等よ、汝等審判せられざらん為に、相怨む事勿れ、看よ審判者は門前に立ち給ふ。
10 Britheren, take ye ensaumple of yuel goyng out, and of long abidyng, and trauel, and of pacience, the prophetis, that speken to you in the name of the Lord.
兄弟等よ、汝等主の御名によりて語りし預言者等を以て、苦痛と忍耐との模範とせよ。
11 Lo! we blessen hem that suffriden. Ye herden the `suffring, ethir pacience, of Joob, and ye sayn the ende of the Lord, for the Lord is merciful, and doynge merci.
我等が忍耐したる人々を福なりとするを思へ、汝等曾てヨブの忍耐を聞き、又終に主の為し給ひし事を見たり。即ち主は慈悲深く在して、憫を垂れ給ふ者なり。
12 Bifor alle thingis, my britheren, nyle ye swere, nether bi heuene, nether bi erthe, nethir bi what euere other ooth. But be youre word Yhe, yhe, Nay, nay, that ye fallen not vndir doom.
我兄弟等よ、汝等第一に、或は天、或は地、或は他の何物を以ても誓ふ事勿れ、唯然りは然り、否は否と云へ、之審判に罹らざらん為なり。
13 And if ony of you is sorewful, preye he with pacient soule, and seie he a salm.
汝等の中に憂ふる者あらんか、其人は祈るべきなり。喜ぶ者あらんか、其人は聖詩を謳ふべきなり。
14 If ony of you is sijk, lede he in preestis of the chirche, and preie thei for hym, and anoynte with oile in the name of the Lord;
汝等の中に病める者あらんか、其人は教會の長老等を喚ぶべく、彼等は主の御名によりて之に注油し、之が上に祈るべし。
15 and the preier of feith schal saue the sijk man, and the Lord schal make hym liyt; and if he be in synnes, thei schulen be foryouun to hym.
斯て信仰の祈は病者を救ひ、主之を引立て給ひ、若罪あらば赦さるべきなり。
16 Therfor knouleche ye ech to othere youre synnes, and preye ye ech for othere, that ye be sauyd. For the contynuel preyer of a iust man is myche worth.
然れば互ひに己が罪を告白して、互の為に祈れ、是汝等の醫されん為なり。義人の篤き祈は大いなる効力あり。
17 Elye was a deedli man lijk vs, and in preier he preiede, that it schulde not reyne on the erthe, and it reynede not thre yeeris and sixe monethis.
エリアは我等と同様の人なりしも、雨の地上に降らざらん事を切に祈りしかば、降らざる事三年六箇月なりき。
18 And eftsoone he preiede, and heuene yaf reyn, and the erthe yaf his fruyt.
斯て再び祈りしかば、天は雨を與へ地は果を與へたりき。
19 And, britheren, if ony of you errith fro trewthe, and ony conuertith hym,
我兄弟等よ、若汝等の中に眞理を過てる者あり、人ありて之を立歸らしめんか、
20 he owith to wite, that he that makith a synner to be turned fro the errour of his weye, schal saue the soule of hym fro deth, and keuereth the multitude of synnes.
罪人を其道の迷より立歸らしめたる者は、其魂を死より救ひ、多くの罪を覆ふべしと識るべきなり。
