Yaqobeppe 5
1 Histikko inteno dure asato, ane siiyte. Buro inte bolla gakkana metoza gish yekiite, wu! wu! gi wasiite.
Come now, you who are rich, weep and wail over the misery to come upon you.
2 Inte haaroy buqqides, inte mayoykka bil7ay/baday/ mides.
Your riches have rotted and moths have eaten your clothes.
3 Inte worqayinne inte biiray shiyides. He shiydaysikka inte bolla marikatesinne inte ashoy tama mala xuugees. Inte wode wurisethas miishshe shiishshidista.
Your gold and silver are corroded. Their corrosion will testify against you and consume your flesh like fire. You have hoarded treasure in the last days.
4 Inte inte wozinan wothite inte kaththi maxishe pe7idaytas istta wollqa waaga inte qanxxontta aggida gish inte bolla wasishe inte achchan deettes. Kaththi maxizayta wassoy wursi danda7iza Goda haythan gakides.
Look, the wages you withheld from the workmen who mowed your fields are crying out against you. The cries of the harvesters have reached the ears of the Lord of Hosts.
5 Inte biitta bolla ishallonne aloo7etethan deyidista, inte wozina shuka galasas dhiikki handadhathidista.
You have lived on earth in luxury and self-indulgence. You have fattened your hearts in the day of slaughter.
6 Inte intenara eqetontta xiillo asata bolla worido wothidi wodhiidista.
You have condemned and murdered the righteous, who did not resist you.
7 Hessa gish ta ishato Goday ha yaana gakanas danda7ite. Goshshe goyizadey biittay loo7o kathth kaxxana gakanaas wani danda7izakone balgo/asura/ irane ofintha ira izi wostti naagizako ane akekkite.
Be patient, then, brothers, until the Lord’s coming. See how the farmer awaits the precious fruit of the soil—how patient he is for the fall and spring rains.
8 Inteka hessaththo danda7ite. Inte wozina miinthite. Gaasoykka Goda yussa gallas matides.
You, too, be patient and strengthen your hearts, because the Lord’s coming is near.
9 Ta ishato inte inte garsan zigretopite, inte zigretiko inte bolla piridistana. Piridanadey heko inte penge bolla eqqides.
Do not complain about one another, brothers, so that you will not be judged. Look, the Judge is standing at the door!
10 Ta ishato Goda sunththan intes yootida nabeta wayetethinne istta danda7a intes lemuso histti xeellite.
Brothers, as an example of patience in affliction, take the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord.
11 Danda7an genccida asata nu istta “IstTi anjjetidayta” gi qoodizayssa inte ereista. Iyobey wanii danda7idakonne inte iza gish siyidista. Goday iza wurisethan ay oothidakone inte beyidista. Goday asas keehi michetizadenne marizadekko.
See how blessed we consider those who have persevered. You have heard of Job’s perseverance and have seen the outcome from the Lord. The Lord is full of compassion and mercy.
12 Harapeka ta ishato sallon gidin woykko biitta bolla gidin woykko ay mishanka caqqofite; “Ee” gaanas bessiza miishsha gidikko “Ee” giite; “Akaye” gaanas gidiko “Akaye” giite hessafe hara giiko inte bolla pirdistana.
Above all, my brothers, do not swear, not by heaven or earth or by any other oath. Simply let your “Yes” be yes, and your “No,” no, so that you will not fall under judgment.
13 Inte garisan metotiza uray dizee? Diza gidiko izi wosso. Ufa7etizadey dizee? diza gidiko ufayssa yeethi yeexxo.
Is any one of you suffering? He should pray. Is anyone cheerful? He should sing praises.
14 Inte gidon saketiza assi dizee? diiko wossa keeththa ciimata xeyigo. Isttikka Goda sunththan zayte iza bolla tiyidi izas wosseto.
Is any one of you sick? He should call the elders of the church to pray over him and anoint him with oil in the name of the Lord.
15 Ammanon wossida wossay hargidade pathana. Godaykka iza denthana. Izi nagara oothidade gidikokka Xoossi iza maarana.
And the prayer offered in faith will restore the one who is sick. The Lord will raise him up. If he has sinned, he will be forgiven.
16 Hessa gish intekka inte garisan issay issara inte nagara paxxetite; paxana mala issay issas wossite. Xiillo asa wossay wolliqara dees. Wollqama oothokka ooththees.
Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man has great power to prevail.
17 Elasay nu malaka asekko. Izi iray bukontta mala minthi wossin biitta bolla hezdzdu laythanne bagga gakanaas iray bukiibeyna.
Elijah was a man just like us. He prayed earnestly that it would not rain, and it did not rain on the land for three and a half years.
18 Qasseka zaari wossin iray sallope biitta bolla bukides. Biittayka kaath immides.
Again he prayed, and the heavens gave rain, and the earth yielded its crops.
19 Ta ishato intefe issadey tumape baletin hara uray iza zaariko hessa wozinan wothiite. Nagarancha izi balletida ogepe iza zaaridadey he uray shempo hayqope ashesinne izaade nagara darozaka kammees.
My brothers, if one of you should wander from the truth and someone should bring him back,
consider this: Whoever turns a sinner from the error of his way will save his soul from death and cover over a multitude of sins.
