James 5
1 Go, now, ye rich! weep, howling over your miseries that are coming upon [you];
Tsono tamverani, inu anthu achuma, lirani ndi kufuwula chifukwa cha zovuta zimene zidzakugwereni.
2 your riches have rotted, and your garments have become moth-eaten;
Chuma chanu chawola ndipo njenjete zadya zovala zanu.
3 your gold and silver have rotted, and the rust of them for a testimony shall be to you, and shall eat your flesh as fire. Ye made treasure in the last days!
Golide ndi siliva wanu zachita dzimbiri. Dzimbirilo lidzakhala umboni wokutsutsani ndi kuwononga mnofu wanu ngati moto. Mwadziwunjikira chuma pa masiku ano otsiriza.
4 lo, the reward of the workmen, of those who in-gathered your fields, which hath been fraudulently kept back by you — doth cry out, and the exclamations of those who did reap into the ears of the Lord of Sabaoth have entered;
Taonani, ndalama za malipiro zimene munakanika kulipira aganyu aja ankasenga mʼmunda mwanu zikulira mokutsutsani. Kulira kwa okololawo kwamveka mʼmakutu mwa Ambuye Wamphamvuzonse.
5 ye did live in luxury upon the earth, and were wanton; ye did nourish your hearts, as in a day of slaughter;
Mwakhala pa dziko lapansi pano moyo ofewa ndipo mwalidyera dziko lapansi. Mwadzinenepetsa pa tsiku lokaphedwa.
6 ye did condemn — ye did murder the righteous one, he doth not resist you.
Mwaweruza kuti ndi wolakwa ndipo mwapha munthu wosalakwa, amene sakutsutsana nanu.
7 Be patient, then, brethren, till the presence of the Lord; lo, the husbandman doth expect the precious fruit of the earth, being patient for it, till he may receive rain — early and latter;
Tsono abale, pirirani mpaka kubwera kwa Ambuye. Onani mmene amachitira mlimi. Amadikirira kuti zipatso zabwino zioneke mʼmunda mwake. Amayembekezera mokhazikika mtima kuyambira nthawi ya mvula yoyamba mpaka yotsiriza.
8 be patient, ye also; establish your hearts, because the presence of the Lord hath drawn nigh;
Inunso mukhale owugwira mtima ndi osasinthika chifukwa Ambuye ali pafupi kubwera.
9 murmur not against one another, brethren, that ye may not be condemned; lo, the Judge before the door hath stood.
Abale, musamanenezane zoyipa kuopa kuti mungadzaweruzidwe. Woweruza ali pa khomo!
10 An example take ye of the suffering of evil, my brethren, and of the patience, the prophets who did speak in the name of the Lord;
Abale, tengerani chitsanzo cha aneneri amene anayankhula mʼdzina la Ambuye. Iwowo anakumana ndi zovuta koma anapirira.
11 lo, we call happy those who are enduring; the endurance of Job ye heard of, and the end of the Lord ye have seen, that very compassionate is the Lord, and pitying.
Monga mukudziwa, tinawatenga ngati odalitsika anthu amene anapirira. Munamva za kupirira kwa Yobu ndipo mwaona zimene Ambuye anamuchitira potsiriza pake. Ambuye ndi wodzaza ndi chisoni ndi chifundo.
12 And before all things, my brethren, do not swear, neither by the heaven, neither by the earth, neither by any other oath, and let your Yes be Yes, and the No, No; that under judgment ye may not fall.
Koposa zonse, abale anga, musamalumbire. Polumbira osamatchula kumwamba kapena dziko lapansi, kapena china chilichonse. “Inde” wanu azikhala “Inde,” ndipo “Ayi” wanu azikhala “Ayi,” kuopa kuti mungadzapezeke olakwa.
13 Doth any one suffer evil among you? let him pray; is any of good cheer? let him sing psalms;
Kodi alipo wina mwa inu amene ali pa mavuto? Apemphere. Kodi wina wakondwa? Ayimbe nyimbo zolemekeza.
14 is any infirm among you? let him call for the elders of the assembly, and let them pray over him, having anointed him with oil, in the name of the Lord,
Kodi alipo wina mwa inu akudwala? Ayitane akulu ampingo kuti adzamupempherere ndi kumudzoza mafuta mʼdzina la Ambuye.
15 and the prayer of the faith shall save the distressed one, and the Lord shall raise him up, and if sins he may have committed, they shall be forgiven to him.
Ndipo pemphero lachikhulupiriro lidzachiritsa munthu wodwalayo ndipo Ambuye adzamuutsa. Ngati wachimwa adzakhululukidwa.
16 Be confessing to one another the trespasses, and be praying for one another, that ye may be healed; very strong is a working supplication of a righteous man;
Choncho, ululiranani machimo anu ndi kupemphererana wina ndi mnzake kuti muchiritsidwe. Pemphero la munthu wolungama ndi lamphamvu ndipo limagwira ntchito.
17 Elijah was a man like affected as we, and with prayer he did pray — not to rain, and it did not rain upon the land three years and six months;
Eliya anali munthu ngati ife. Iye anapemphera mwamphamvu kuti mvula isagwe ndipo sinagwedi kwa zaka zitatu ndi theka.
18 and again he did pray, and the heaven did give rain, and the land did bring forth her fruit.
Kenaka anapempheranso, ndipo kumwamba kunagwetsa mvula, ndipo dziko lapansi linatulutsa zomera zake.
19 Brethren, if any among you may go astray from the truth, and any one may turn him back,
Abale anga, ngati mmodzi wa inu apatuka pa choonadi ndipo wina wake ndi kumubweza,
20 let him know that he who did turn back a sinner from the straying of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall cover a multitude of sins.
kumbukirani izi: Aliyense wobweza wochimwa kuchoka ku cholakwa chake, adzamupulumutsa ku imfa ndi kukwirira machimo ambiri.
